PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

TIBCO Software Inc. (“TIBCO,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a leading provider of infrastructure software. We provide a broad range ofstandards-based infrastructure software solutions that help organizations achieve the benefits of real-time business. Our infrastructure software gives customersthe ability to constantly innovate by connecting applications and data in a service-oriented architecture, streamlining activities through business processmanagement, and giving people the information and intelligence tools they need to make faster and smarter decisions, what we call The Power of Now®.

As the basis of the real-time movement of data across the enterprise, TIBCO’s software is uniquely capable of correlating information in real-time aboutan organization’s operations and performance with information about expected behavior and business rules so a company can anticipate and respond to threatsand opportunities before they occur. Our software enables our customers to leverage and extend the capabilities of their own information technology applicationsand assets to move towards a new way of doing business that lets organizations anticipate customer needs, create opportunities and avoid potential problems.

We are the successor to a portion of the business of Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. (“Teknekron”). Teknekron developed software, known as TheInformation Bus® (“TIB”) technology, for the integration and delivery of market data, such as stock quotes, news and other financial information, in tradingrooms of large banks and financial services institutions. In 1992, Teknekron expanded its development efforts to include solutions designed to enable complexand disparate manufacturing equipment and software applications, primarily in the semiconductor fabrication market, to communicate within the factoryenvironment. Teknekron was acquired by Reuters Group PLC (“Reuters”), the global information company, in 1994. Following the acquisition, continueddevelopment of the TIB® technology was undertaken to expand its use in the financial services markets.

In January 1997, TIBCO was established as an entity separate from Teknekron. We were formed to create and market software solutions for use in theintegration of business information, processes and applications. In connection with our establishment as a separate entity, Reuters transferred to us certain assetsand liabilities related to our business and granted to us a royalty-free license to the intellectual property from which some of our messaging software productsoriginated.

Table of ContentsWe have acquired a range of companies and technologies. Most recently, in June 2007, we acquired Spotfire Holdings, Inc. (“Spotfire”), a leading provider

of next-generation business intelligence software with approximately 200 employees worldwide. The addition of Spotfire’s software is a natural extension of ourbusiness strategy that allows us to offer customers next-generation business intelligence solutions for faster data access and analysis. The results of Spotfire’soperations are included in our results of operations beginning on June 5, 2007.

Trademarks

TIBCO, TIBCO Software, The Information Bus, TIB, The Power of Now and Spotfire are the trademarks or registered trademarks of TIBCO SoftwareInc. in the United States and other countries. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also refers to the trademarks of other companies.

TIBCO Products

We offer a wide range of software products that can be sold individually to solve specific technical challenges, but the emphasis of our productdevelopment and sales efforts is to create products that interoperate and can be sold together as a suite to enable businesses to be more cost-effective, agile andefficient. These products can help organizations achieve success in three areas: service-oriented architecture (“SOA”), business optimization and businessprocess management (“BPM”).

• SOA: Our software helps organizations migrate to an IT infrastructure made up of services that can be assembled, orchestrated and reused. SOAturns information and functions into discrete and reusable components that can be invoked from across the business and aggregated with other suchservices to create “composite applications.” This helps companies streamline the integration and orchestration of assets across technological,organizational and geographical boundaries. Our software enables the creation, management and virtualization of heterogeneous services andprovides a unified environment for policy and service management. It also delivers capabilities in the areas of service mediation, orchestration andcommunication and the development of rich internet applications. Our products give companies the flexibility to do these things using the standardsor technologies that best meet their needs in specific situations (such as HTTP, e-mail, J2EE, EDI, Messaging, .NET, Web Services, etc.) withoutreplacing existing technologies or committing to any one technology across the enterprise.

• Business optimization: Our software helps organizations convert and analyze data to create meaningful information and deliver it to employees,customers and partners. Our software also tracks large volumes of real-time events as they occur and applies sophisticated rules in order to identifypatterns that signify problems, threats and opportunities, and can automatically initiate appropriate notifications or adaptation of processes. Thishelps line-level employees perform their jobs, helps managers identify and analyze problems and opportunities, and gives customers the ability toget accurate and consistent information directly or through salespeople, service personnel or customer care representatives.

• BPM: Our software helps organizations better coordinate the process flows that control how their assets work together. This software cancoordinate the human and electronic resources inside a business and its network of customers and partners. Our products not only automate routinetasks and exception handling, but orchestrate long-lived activities and transactions that cut across organizational and geographical boundaries. Oursoftware enables organizations to provide a higher level of customer satisfaction, retain customers, maximize partnerships with other businesses andout-execute their competitors.

Our products are currently licensed by companies worldwide in diverse industries such as financial services, telecommunications, retail, healthcare,manufacturing, energy, transportation, logistics, government and insurance. We sell our products through a direct sales force and through alliances with leadingsoftware vendors and systems integrators.

Table of ContentsOur revenue consists of license and service and maintenance fees from our customers and distributors. License fees represented approximately 45%, 46%

and 46% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenue from service and maintenance represented approximately 55%, 54% and54% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Sales to customers outside the United States totaled $310.0 million, representing 54% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2007. For a geographic breakdownof our revenue and property and equipment, see Note 21 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Marketing

We use a mix of market research, analyst updates, seminars, direct mail, print advertising, trade shows, speaking engagements, public relations, customernewsletters and web marketing in order to achieve our marketing goals. Our marketing department also produces collateral material for distribution to potentialcustomers including presentation materials, white papers, brochures, magazines and fact sheets. We also host annual user conferences for our customers andprovide support to our channel partners with a variety of programs, training and product marketing support materials.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to variations throughout the year due to seasonal factors in the U.S. and worldwide. These factors include fewer selling days duringthe summer vacation season (which has a disproportionate effect on sales in Europe), the impact of the December holidays and a slow down in capitalexpenditures by our customers after calendar year-end (during our first fiscal quarter). These factors typically constrain sales activity in our first and third fiscalquarters compared to the rest of the year, and they make quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results less meaningful.

Competition

The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. While we offer a comprehensive suite of integrationsolutions and believe we are the market leader among infrastructure software companies, we compete with various providers of infrastructure software includingBEA, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and Software AG. We believe that none of these companies has a suite of infrastructure software products as complete asours, but BEA, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP offer products outside our segment and routinely bundle their broader set of products with their infrastructuresoftware products. We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies. In addition, we may face pricing pressures from ourcurrent competitors and new market entrants in the future. We believe that the competitive factors affecting the market for our products and services includeproduct functionality and features, quality of professional services offerings, performance and price, ease of product implementation, quality of customer supportservices, customer training and documentation, and vendor and product reputation. The relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the specificcustomer environment. We believe that our products and services currently compete favorably with respect to such factors. However, we may not be able tomaintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors.

Research and Development

Our success is heavily dependent on our ability to develop new products and technologies and to enhance our existing products. We expect that a majorityof our research and development activities will focus on enhancing and extending our TIBCO products and that such enhancements and new products will bedeveloped internally. However, as part of our development strategy, we may also license or acquire externally developed technologies for inclusion in ourproduct lines. We expect that we will continue to commit significant resources to product development in the future. Product development costs are recorded asresearch and development

Table of Contentsexpenses. Our research and development expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, were $92.9 million, $85.9 million and $73.1 million in fiscalyears 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. To date, all product development costs have been expensed as incurred, because the time period between achievingtechnological feasibility for a product and the general availability of such product has typically been very short.

Proprietary Technology

Our success is dependent upon our proprietary software technology. We believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel,product enhancements and new product developments are all essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We hold numerousUnited States and foreign patents and have several pending patent applications. We additionally license some patents from Reuters on a royalty-free basis. Thesepatent rights notwithstanding, we currently rely primarily on trade secret rights, copyright and trademark laws, and nondisclosure and other contractualagreements to protect our technology. We enter into confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, distributors and customers, and limit access toand distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these protective measures, third parties could still copy and use ourproducts or otherwise misappropriate our technology.

Furthermore, third parties might independently develop competing technologies that include the same functionality or features, or otherwise aresubstantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. In addition, effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable orlimited in certain foreign countries where we operate. Our business could suffer serious harm if we fail to protect our proprietary technology.

Employees

As of November 30, 2007, we employed 1,900 persons, including 598 in sales and marketing, 504 in research and development, 230 in general andadministrative and 568 in professional services and technical support. Of our 1,900 employees, 1,056 were located in the Americas, 499 in EMEA and 345 inAPJ. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Competition for employees is intense in the software industry. Todate, we believe we have been successful in our efforts to recruit qualified employees, but there is no assurance that we will continue to be as successful in thefuture.

Table of ContentsOur future revenue and results of operations are unpredictable, and we expect our quarterly operating results to fluctuate.

As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete and the size of our customer agreements, we have difficulty accurately forecastingour revenue in any given period. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this section, a number of factors may cause our revenue to fall short of ourexpectations, or those of stock market analysts and investors, or cause fluctuations in our operating results, including:

• the relatively long sales cycles for many of our products;

• the timing of our new products or product enhancements or any delays in such introductions;

• the delay or deferral of customer implementations of our products;

• changes in customer budgets and decision making processes that could affect both the timing and size of any transaction;

• our dependence on large deals, which if such deals do not close, can greatly impact revenues for a particular quarter;

• the timing, size and mix of orders from customers;

• the deferral of license revenue to future periods due to the timing of the execution of an agreement or our ability to deliver the products;

• the impact of our provision of services and customer-required contractual terms on our recognition of license revenue;

• any unanticipated difficulty we encounter in integrating acquired businesses, products or technologies;

• the tendency of some of our customers to wait until the end of a fiscal quarter or our fiscal year in the hope of obtaining more favorable terms;

• the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our operations and the evaluation of strategictransactions; and

• changes in accounting rules, such as recording expenses for employee stock option grants and tax accounting, including accounting for uncertain taxpositions.

Period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance. Moreover, our operating results in somequarters have not in the past met, and may not in the future meet, the expectations of stock market analysts and investors.

In addition, while we may in future years record positive net income and/or increases in net income over prior periods, we may not showperiod-over-period earnings per share growth or earnings per share growth that meets the expectations of stock market analysts or investors as a result of thenumber of our shares outstanding during such periods. In such case, our stock price may decline.

Political and economic conditions can adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Our business can be affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control such as general geopolitical economic and business conditions, conditionsin the financial services markets, the overall demand for enterprise software and services and general political and economic developments. A weakening of theglobal economy could cause delays in and decreases in demand for our products. In addition, hostilities in various parts of the world, potential public healthcrises and natural disasters continue to contribute to economic uncertainty that could adversely affect our revenue growth and results of operations.

Table of ContentsThe past slowdown in the market for infrastructure software and its protracted recovery have caused our revenue to decline in the past and could causeour revenue or results of operations to fall below expectations in the future.

The market for infrastructure software is relatively new and evolving. We earn a substantial portion of our revenue from licenses of our infrastructuresoftware, including application integration software and sales of related services. We expect to earn substantially all of our revenue in the foreseeable future fromsales of these products and services. Our future financial performance will depend on continued growth in the number of organizations demanding software andservices for application integration and information delivery and companies seeking outside vendors to develop, manage and maintain this software for theircritical applications. Lower spending by corporate and governmental customers around the world, which has had a disproportionate impact on informationtechnology spending, has led to a reduction in sales in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Many of our potential customers have made significantinvestments in internally developed systems and would incur significant costs in switching to third-party products, which may substantially inhibit the growth ofthe market for infrastructure software. If the market fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we expect, our sales will be adversely affected. Also, even ascorporate and governmental spending increases and companies make greater investments in information technology and infrastructure software, our revenue maynot grow at the same pace.

Our strategy contemplates future acquisitions which may result in us incurring unanticipated expenses or additional debt, difficulty in integrating ouroperations and dilution to our stockholders and may harm our operating results.

Our success depends in part on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customerdemands and competitive pressures. We expect to acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies in the future as part of our corporate strategy. Inthis regard, we have made strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of Spotfire in 2007. We do not know if we will be able to complete any subsequentacquisition or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business, operate it profitably or retain its key employees. Integrating any newlyacquired business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, could disrupt our ongoing business and financial performance and coulddistract our management. Therefore, we might not be able, either immediately post-acquisition or ever, to replicate the pre-acquisition revenues achieved bycompanies that we acquire or achieve the benefits of the acquisition we anticipated in valuing the businesses, products or technologies we acquire. Furthermore,the costs of integrating acquired companies in international transactions can be particularly high, due to local laws and regulations. If we are unable to integrateany newly acquired entity, products or technology effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results would suffer. In addition, any amortizationor impairment of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation or other charges resulting from the costs of acquisitions could harm our operating results.

In addition, we may face competition for acquisition targets from larger and more established companies with greater financial resources. Also, in order tofinance any acquisition, we might need to raise additional funds through public or private financings or use our cash reserves. In that event, we could be forced toobtain equity or debt financing on terms that are not favorable to us or that result in dilution to our stockholders. Use of our cash reserves for acquisitions couldlimit our financial flexibility in the future. Moreover, the terms of existing loan agreements may place limits on our ability to incur additional debt to financeacquisitions. If we are not able to acquire strategically attractive businesses, products or technologies, we may not be able to remain competitive in our industryor achieve our overall growth plans.

Our success depends on our ability to overcome significant competition and to offer products and enhancements that respond to emerging technologicaltrends and customers’ needs.

The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. We compete with a variety of large and small providers ofinfrastructure software, SOA, business optimization and BPM,

Table of Contentsincluding companies such as IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, BEA, SAP, Pegasystems and Software AG. We believe that of these companies, IBM has the potential tooffer the most complete competitive set of products relative to our offerings. In addition, companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP offer productsoutside our segment and routinely bundle their broader set of products with their infrastructure software products. Further, some of our competitors areexpanding their competitive product offerings and market position through acquisitions and internal research and development. We expect additional competitionfrom other established and emerging companies. We also face competition for certain aspects of our product and service offerings from major systemsintegrators. Further, we may face increasing competition from open source software providers such as MuleSource that provide software and intellectualproperty, typically without charging license fees, or from other competitors offering products through alternative business models, such as software as a service.If customers choose such alternatives over our proprietary software, our revenues and earnings could be adversely affected.

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories; significantly greater financial, technical, product development andmarketing resources; greater name recognition; and larger customer bases than we do. Continued consolidation in the software market may further strengthen ourlarger competitors. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer; adapt more quickly than we doto new technologies, evolving industry trends or customer requirements; or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their productsthan we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets or competition may intensify and harm our business and operating results.

If we are not successful in developing enhancements to existing products and new products in a timely manner, achieving customer acceptance for ourexisting and new product offerings or generating higher average selling prices, our gross margins may decline, and our business and operating results maysuffer. Furthermore, any of our new product offerings or significant enhancements to current product offerings could cause some customers to delay making newor additional purchases while they fully evaluate any new offerings we might have introduced to the market, which in turn may slow sales and adversely affectoperating results for an indeterminate period of time. Also, we may not execute successfully on our product plans because of errors in product planning or timing,technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions beforewe do and loss of market share, net sales and earnings.

Increases in services revenues may decrease overall margins.

We may in the future realize a higher percentage of our revenue from services, which has a lower profit margin than license or maintenance revenue. As aresult, if services revenue increase as a percentage of total revenue, our overall profit margin may decrease, which could impact our stock price.

Any losses we incur as a result of our exposure to the credit risk of our customers could harm our results of operations.

We monitor individual customer payment capability in granting credit arrangements, seek to limit credit to amounts we believe the customers can pay, andmaintain reserves we believe are adequate to cover exposure for doubtful accounts. As we have grown our revenue and customer base, our exposure to credit riskhas increased. Although we have not had material losses to date as a result of customer defaults, future defaults, if incurred, could harm our business and have anadverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we cannot successfully recruit, retain and integrate highly skilled employees, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively.

If we fail to retain and recruit key management, sales employees and other skilled employees, our business and our ability to obtain new customers,develop new products and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. As we grow, we must invest significantly in building our sales, marketingand engineering groups.

Table of ContentsCompetition for these people in the software industry is intense, and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. We arecompeting against companies with greater financial resources and name recognition for these employees, and as such, there is no assurance that we will be ableto meet our hiring needs or hire the most qualified candidates. The success of our business is also heavily dependent on the leadership of our key managementpersonnel, including Vivek Ranadivé, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of one or more key employees could adversely affect our continuedoperations.

In addition, we must successfully integrate new employees into our operations and generate sufficient revenues to justify the costs associated with theseemployees. If we fail to successfully integrate employees or to generate the revenue necessary to offset employee-related expenses, we may be forced to reduceour headcount, which would force us to incur significant expenses and would harm our business and operating results.

Because the value of our equity incentive programs has diminished as a retention and recruiting tool, we may need to change our compensationpackages in order to remain competitive which in turn could negatively affect our profit margins.

We have historically used equity incentive programs, such as employee stock options and stock purchase plans, as a part of overall employeecompensation arrangements. As a result of changes in the financial accounting standards, we have changed our stock purchase plan, reduced the size and numberof stock option grants we give to our employees, changed the form of equity compensation we give to some of our employees and may make further changes toour equity compensation programs, all of which may decrease the effectiveness of our plans as employee retention and recruiting tools. In addition, the volatilityof our stock price may negatively impact the value of such equity incentives, thereby diminishing the value of such incentive programs to employees anddecreasing the effectiveness of such programs as retention and recruiting tools. Given this, we may need to change our compensation packages to employees toremain competitive which could negatively affect our profit margins.

The inability to upsell to our current customers or the loss of any significant customer could harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.

We do not have long-term sales contracts with any of our customers. Our customers may choose not to purchase our products or not to use our services inthe future. As a result, a customer that generates substantial revenue for us in one period may not be a source of revenue in subsequent periods. Any inability onour part to upsell to and generate revenues from our existing customers or the loss of a significant customer could adversely affect our business and operatingresults.

Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from selling ourproducts.

We cannot be certain that our products do not infringe issued patents or other intellectual property rights of others. In addition, our use of open sourcesoftware components in our products may make us vulnerable to claims that our products infringe third-party intellectual property rights, in particular becausemany of the open source software components we may incorporate with our products may be developed by numerous independent parties over whom weexercise no supervision or control. “Open source software” is software that is covered by a license agreement which permits the user to liberally copy, modifyand distribute the software, typically free of charge. Further, because patent applications in the United States and many other countries are not publicly disclosedat the time of filing, applications covering technology used in our software products may have been filed without our knowledge. We may be subject to legalproceedings and claims from time to time, including claims of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of thirdparties by us or our licensees in connection with their use of our products. Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of ourcustomers for intellectual property infringement claims. Intellectual property

Table of Contentslitigation is expensive and time consuming and could divert our management’s attention away from running our business and seriously harm our business. If wewere to discover that our products violated the intellectual property rights of others, we would have to obtain licenses from these parties in order to continuemarketing our products without substantial reengineering. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, and if we could notobtain such licenses, we might not be able to reengineer our products successfully or in a timely fashion. If we fail to address any infringement issuessuccessfully, we would be forced to incur significant costs, including damages and potentially satisfying indemnification obligations that we have with ourcustomers, and we could be prevented from selling certain of our products.

Our intellectual property or proprietary rights could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuminglitigation.

We regard our intellectual property as critical to our success. Accordingly, we rely upon a combination of copyrights, service marks, trademarks, tradesecret rights, patents, confidentiality agreements and licensing agreements to protect our intellectual property. Despite these protections, a third party couldmisappropriate our intellectual property. Any misappropriation of our proprietary information by third parties could harm our business, financial condition andoperating results. In addition, the laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection of our proprietary information as do the laws of the UnitedStates. If our proprietary information or material were misappropriated, we might have to engage in litigation to protect it. We might not succeed in protectingour proprietary information if we initiate intellectual property litigation, and, in any event, such litigation would be expensive and time-consuming, could divertour management’s attention away from running our business and could seriously harm our business.

The use of open source software in our products may expose us to additional risks.

Certain open source software is licensed pursuant to license agreements that require a user who distributes the open source software as a component of theuser’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. This effectively renders what was previously proprietary software opensource software. As competition in our markets increases, we must reduce our product development costs. Many features we may wish to add to our products inthe future may be available as open source software and our development team may wish to make use of this software to reduce development costs and speed upthe development process. While we carefully monitor the use of all open source software and try to ensure that no open source software is used in such a way asto require us to disclose the source code to the related product, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third party has incorporated certain types ofopen source software into its software but has failed to disclose the presence of such open source software and we embed that third party software into one ormore of our products, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our product. This could have a material adverse effect onour business.

Market acceptance of new platforms, standards and technologies may require us to undergo the expense of developing and maintaining compatibleproduct lines.

Our software products can be licensed for use with a variety of platforms, standards and technologies, and we are constantly evaluating the feasibility ofadding new platforms, standards and technologies. There may be future or existing platforms, standards and technologies that achieve popularity in themarketplace which may not be architecturally compatible with our software products. In addition, the effort and expense of developing, testing and maintainingsoftware products will increase as more platforms, standards and technologies achieve market acceptance within our target markets. If we are unable to achievemarket acceptance of our software products or adapt to new platforms, standards and technologies, our sales and revenues will be adversely affected.

Developing and maintaining different software products could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules, whichcould harm our revenue and financial condition. If we are not able to

Table of Contentsdevelop software for accepted platforms, standards and technologies, our license and service revenues and our gross margins could be adversely affected. Inaddition, if the platforms, standards and technologies we have developed software for are not accepted, our license and service revenues and our gross marginscould be adversely affected.

If we fail to manage our exposure to global financial and securities market risk successfully, our operating results and financial statements could bematerially impacted.

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit markets and prices of marketableequity and fixed-income securities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The primary objective of most of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantlyincreasing risk. To achieve this objective, a majority of our marketable investments are investment grade, liquid, short-term fixed-income securities and moneymarket instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. If the carrying value of our investments exceeds the fair value, and the decline in fair value is deemed to beother-than-temporary, we will be required to further write down the value of our investments, which could materially harm our results of operations and financialcondition. Moreover, the performance of certain securities in our investment portfolio correlates with the credit condition of the U.S. financial sector. With thecurrent unstable credit environment, we might incur significant realized, unrealized or impairment losses associated with these investments.

A significant portion of our net revenue and expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, some of these activities are conducted in other currencies,primarily currencies in EMEA and Asia. As a response to the risks of changes in value of foreign currency denominated transactions, we may enter into foreigncurrency forward contracts or other instruments, the majority of which mature within approximately one month. Our foreign currency forward contracts reduce,but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. For example, we do not execute forward contracts in all currencies in which we conductbusiness. Accordingly, such amounts denominated in foreign currencies may fluctuate in value and produce significant earnings and cash flow volatility.

We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities.

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the United States and various foreignjurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a globalbusiness, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly under audit by taxauthorities.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot assure that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be differentfrom what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.

We are also subject to non-income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property and goods and services taxes, in both the UnitedStates and various foreign jurisdictions. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes and may have exposure toadditional non-income tax liabilities.

We operate internationally and face risks attendant to those operations.

We earn a significant portion of our total revenues from international sales generated through our foreign direct and indirect operations. As a result of thesesales operations, we face risks arising from local political, legal and economic factors such as the general economic conditions in each country or region, varyingregulatory

Table of Contentsrequirements and compliance with international and local trade, labor and other laws. We may also face difficulties in managing our international operations,collecting receivables in a timely fashion and repatriating earnings. Any of these factors, either individually or in combination, could materially impact ourinternational operations and adversely affect our business as a whole.

Our software may have defects and errors that could lead to a loss of revenues or product liability claims.

Our products and platforms use complex technologies and, despite extensive testing and quality control procedures, may contain defects or errors,especially when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. If defects or errors are discovered after commercial release of either newversions or enhancements of our products and platforms:

• potential customers may delay purchases;

• customers may react negatively, which could reduce future sales;

• our reputation in the marketplace may be damaged;

• we may have to defend product liability claims;

• we may be required to indemnify our customers, distributors, original equipment manufacturers or other resellers;

• we may incur additional service and warranty costs; and

• we may have to divert additional development resources to correct the defects and errors, which may result in the delay of new product releases orupgrades.

If any or all of the foregoing occur, we may lose revenues, incur higher operating expenses and lose market share, any of which could severely harm ourfinancial condition and operating results.

The outcome of litigation pending against us could require us to expend significant resources and could harm our business and financial resources.

Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements describes the litigation pending against us and our directors and officers. The uncertainty associated withsubstantial unresolved lawsuits could harm our business, financial condition and reputation. The defense of the lawsuits could result in the diversion of ourmanagement’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. Negative developments with respect to the lawsuits couldcause our stock price to decline. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, that we may be required to pay in connection with theresolution of the lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, any such payment could seriously harm our financial condition and liquidity.

Natural or other disasters could disrupt our business and result in loss of revenue or in higher expenses.

Natural disasters, terrorist activities and other business disruptions could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs andexpenses. Our corporate headquarters and many of our operations are located in California, a seismically active region. In addition, many of our current andpotential customers are concentrated in a few geographic areas. A natural disaster in one of these regions could have a material adverse impact on our U.S. andforeign operations, operating results and financial condition. Further, any unanticipated business disruption caused by Internet security threats, damage to globalcommunication networks or otherwise could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Our stock price may be volatile, which could cause investors to lose all or part of their investments in our stock.

The stock market in general and the stock prices of technology companies in particular, have experienced volatility which has often been unrelated to theoperating performance of any particular company or companies.

Table of ContentsDuring fiscal year 2007, our stock price fluctuated between a high of $10.45 and a low of $6.72. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock pricecould decline in the future regardless of our actual operating performance and investors could lose all or part of their investments.

Any failure by us to meet the requirements of current or newly-targeted customers may have a detrimental impact on our business or operating results.

We may wish to expand our customer base into markets in which we have limited experience. In some cases, customers in different markets, such asfinancial services or government, have specific regulatory or other requirements which we must meet. For example, in order to maintain contracts with the U.S.government, we must comply with specific rules and regulations relating to and that govern such contracts. Government contracts are generally subject to auditsand investigations which could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refund of a portionof fees received, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future government business. If we fail to meet suchrequirements in the future, we could be subject to civil or criminal liability or a reduction of revenue which could harm our business, operating results andfinancial condition.

Reuters has a royalty free license to our products.

We license from Reuters the intellectual property that was incorporated into early versions of some of our software products. We do not own this licensedtechnology. Because Reuters has access to intellectual property used in our products, it could use this intellectual property to compete with us. Reuters is notrestricted from using the licensed technology it has licensed to us to produce products that compete with our products, and it can grant limited licenses to thelicensed technology to others who may compete with us. In addition, we must license to Reuters all of the products we own and the source code for one of ourmessaging products, through December 2012. This may place Reuters in a position to more easily develop products that compete with ours.

Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as a stockholder rights plan, may have anti-takeover effects.

We have a stockholder rights plan providing for one right for each outstanding share of our common stock. Each right, when exercisable, entitles theregistered holder to purchase certain securities at a specified purchase price. The rights plan may have the anti-takeover effect of causing substantial dilution to aperson or group that attempts to acquire TIBCO on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. The existence of the rights plan could limit the price thatcertain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition thatstockholders may consider favorable. In addition, provisions of our current certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate law, couldmake it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the support of our Board of Directors, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.

We have certain facilities under lease that are in excess of our requirements that we no longer occupy and do not intend to occupy. Currently, the majorityof these vacated facilities are occupied by our tenants; however, the subleases will expire in various lengths.

Executive Overview

We are a leading provider of infrastructure software. We provide a broad range of standards-based infrastructure software solutions that help organizationsachieve the benefits of real-time business. Our infrastructure software gives customers the ability to constantly innovate by connecting applications and data in aservice-oriented architecture, streamlining activities through business process management, and giving people the information and intelligence tools they need tomake faster and smarter decisions, what we call The Power of Now®.

As the basis of the real-time movement of data across the enterprise, TIBCO’s software is uniquely capable of correlating information in real-time aboutan organization’s operations and performance with information about expected behavior and business rules so a company can anticipate and respond to threatsand opportunities before they occur. Our software enables our customers to leverage and extend the capabilities of their own information technology applicationsand assets to move towards a new way of doing business that lets organizations anticipate customer needs, create opportunities and avoid potential problems.

We are the successor to a portion of the business of Teknekron Software Systems, Inc. (“Teknekron”). Teknekron developed software, known as TheInformation Bus® (“TIB”) technology, for the integration and delivery of market data, such as stock quotes, news and other financial information, in tradingrooms of large banks and financial services institutions. In 1992, Teknekron expanded its development efforts to include solutions designed to enable complexand disparate manufacturing equipment and software applications, primarily in the semiconductor fabrication market, to communicate within the factoryenvironment. Teknekron was acquired by Reuters Group PLC (“Reuters”), the global information company, in 1994. Following the acquisition, continueddevelopment of the TIB® technology was undertaken to expand its use in the financial services markets.

In January 1997, TIBCO was established as an entity separate from Teknekron. We were formed to create and market software solutions for use in theintegration of business information, processes and applications. In connection with our establishment as a separate entity, Reuters transferred to us certain assetsand liabilities related to our business and granted to us a royalty-free license to the intellectual property from which some of our messaging software productsoriginated.

We have acquired a range of companies and technologies. Most recently, in June 2007, we acquired Spotfire Holdings Inc. (“Spotfire”), a leading providerof next-generation business intelligence software with approximately 200 employees worldwide. The addition of Spotfire’s software is a natural extension of ourbusiness strategy that allows us to offer customers next-generation business intelligence solutions for faster data

Table of Contentsaccess and analysis. Spotfire enables business users to access the most relevant and timely data, in a responsive and easy to use environment, so they can discovernew insights, make better decisions and take action—delivering an information advantage. Our acquisition of Spotfire also increased our distribution capabilitiesthrough an expanded customer and partner base.

Our products are currently licensed by companies worldwide in diverse industries such as financial services, telecommunications, retail, healthcare,manufacturing, energy, transportation, logistics, government and insurance. We sell our products through a direct sales force and through alliances with leadingsoftware vendors and systems integrators.

Our revenue consists primarily of license and maintenance fees from our customers and distributors. In addition, we receive fees from our customers forproviding consulting services. We also receive revenue from our strategic relationships with business partners who embed our products in their hardware andnetworking systems as well as from systems integrators who resell our products.

First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. Maintenance revenue is determinedbased on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value and amortized over the term of the maintenance contract, typically 12 months. Consulting and trainingrevenues are typically recognized as the services are performed, which services are usually performed on a time and materials basis. Such services primarilyconsist of implementation services related to the installation of our products and generally do not include significant customization to or development of theunderlying software code.

Our revenue is generally derived from a diverse customer base. No single customer represented greater than 10% of total revenue in fiscal years 2007,2006 or 2005. As of November 30, 2007 and 2006, no single customer had a balance in excess of 10% of our net accounts receivable. We establish allowancesfor doubtful accounts based on our evaluation of collectability and an allowance for returns and discounts based on specifically identified credits and historicalexperience.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have beenprepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires usto make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have significant impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, andrelated disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historicalexperience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under differentassumptions or conditions. On a regular basis we evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments and make changes accordingly. We also discuss our criticalaccounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in revenuerecognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts, stock-based compensation, valuation and impairment of investments, impairment ofgoodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, restructuring and integration costs and accounting for income taxes have the greatest potential impact on ourConsolidated Financial Statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies.

We discuss below the critical accounting estimates associated with these policies. Historically, our estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to ourcritical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. For further information on our significant accounting policies, see the discussion inNote 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize license revenue when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has beenshipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When contractscontain multiple

Table of Contentselements wherein vendor-specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “ResidualMethod” prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-9. We recognize revenue onshipments to resellers, which is generally subject to certain rights of return and price protection when the reseller sells the products to an end-user customer andwe record revenue net of related costs to the resellers. Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from OEMcustomers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of units shipped.

We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable at the time of the transaction. In determining whether the fee is fixed ordeterminable, we compare the payment terms of the transaction to our normal payment terms. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal paymentterms, we account for the fee as not being fixed or determinable and recognize revenue as the payments become due. We assess whether collection is reasonablyassured based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past transaction history and credit-worthiness. Generally, we do not request collateral from ourcustomers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonablyassured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

First-year maintenance typically is sold with the related software license and renewed on an annual basis thereafter. For such arrangements with multipleelements, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement based on the Residual Method. Fair values of ongoing maintenance and support obligationsare based on separate sales of renewals to other customers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts when the quoted renewal rates are deemed to besubstantive. Maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support period. Fair value of services, such asconsulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. When the renewal period for maintenance is not substantive compared to the term of thelicense, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the term.

Many customers who license our software also enter into separate professional services arrangements with us. In determining whether professionalservices revenue should be accounted for separately from license revenue, we evaluate, among other factors, the nature of our software products, whether theyare ready for use by the customer upon receipt, the nature of our implementation services, which typically do not involve significant customization to ordevelopment of the underlying software code, the availability of services from other vendors, whether the timing of payments for license revenue is coincidentwith performance of services and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the software license fee. Substantially all of ourprofessional services arrangements are billed on a time and materials basis and accordingly, are recognized as the services are performed. Contracts with fixed ornot to exceed fees are recognized on a proportional performance basis. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment forprofessional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. We recognize training revenue as training services are delivered.

For arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting for the license and professional services revenues, including arrangements that involvesignificant modification or customization of the software, that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of thesoftware license fees, or where payment for the software license is tied to the performance of professional services, software license revenue is generallyrecognized together with the professional services revenue using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. Under thepercentage-of-completion method, the revenue recognized is equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated total contract costs, based on currentestimates of costs to complete the project. If the total estimated costs to complete a project exceed the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the entireanticipated loss would be recognized currently.

Significant management judgments and estimates must be made in connection with determination of the revenue to be recognized in any accountingperiod. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue recognized couldresult.

Table of ContentsAllowances for Doubtful Accounts, Returns and Discounts. We establish allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts based on our review of

credit profiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment, return and discount experience. We reassessthe allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts each period. Historically, our actual losses and credits have been consistent with these provisions.However, unexpected events or significant future changes in trends could result in a material impact to our future statements of operations and of cash flows. Ifwe made different judgments or utilized different estimates for any period, material differences in the amount and timing of revenue or bad debt expenserecognized could result. Our allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts as a percentage of net revenues were approximately 1% in fiscal years 2007,2006 and 2005. See Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of activities during the years reported.

Stock-Based Compensation. We account for stock-based compensation related to stock-based transactions in accordance with the provisions of Statementof Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). Under the fair value recognition provisionsof SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based payment expense is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably overthe requisite service period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards requires judgment,including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected life.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on December 1, 2005, we selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method fordetermining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions whichdetermine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Our current estimate ofvolatility is based on a blend of average historical and market-based implied volatilities of our stock price. To the extent volatility of our stock price increases inthe future, our estimates of the fair value of options granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing stock-based payment expense in future periods. Inaddition, we apply an expected forfeiture rate when amortizing stock-based payment expense. Our estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon ourhistorical experience. To the extent we revise this estimate in the future, our stock-based payment expense could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision,as well as in following quarters. We derived the expected term assumption based on our historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to optionsthat have life cycles less than the contractual terms and vesting schedules in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 123(R) and Staff Accounting Bulletin(“SAB”) No. 107. In the future, as empirical evidence regarding these input estimates is available to provide more directionally predictive results, we may changeor refine our approach of deriving these input estimates. These changes could impact our fair value of stock options granted in the future. See Note 2 and Note 14to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Valuation and Impairment of Investments. We determine the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and evaluate suchdesignation as of each balance sheet date. As of November 30, 2007, all our marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fairvalue with unrealized gains and losses, if any, included as a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” in stockholders’ equity. Marketablesecurities are presented as current assets as they are subject to use within one year in current operations. Realized gains and losses are recognized based on the“specific identification method.” As of November 30, 2007, gross unrealized losses on our investment portfolio totaled $0.3 million. The change in value of theseinvestments is primarily related to changes in interest rates and credit ratings of the issuers and is considered temporary in nature.

Our investments also include minority equity investments in privately held companies that are generally carried at cost basis and included in other assetson the balance sheet. The fair value of these investments is dependent on the performance of the companies in which we invested, as well as the volatilityinherent in external markets for these investments. In assessing potential impairment, we consider these factors as well as each of the companies’ cash position,earnings/revenue outlook, liquidity and management/ownership. If we

Table of Contentsbelieve that an other-than-temporary decline exists, we write down the investment to market value and record the related write-down as a loss on investments inour Consolidated Statements of Operations. In fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, we did not recognize any impairment losses associated with minority equityinvestments. As of November 30, 2007, the net carrying value of our minority equity investments totaled $0.9 million.

Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in the value of our investments exists. Estimatingthe fair value of non-marketable equity investments in early-stage technology companies is inherently subjective. Changes in our assessment of the valuation ofour investments could materially impact our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions do not materializeor change.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets. Our goodwill and intangible assets result from our corporate acquisition transactions.In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which we adopted on December 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefiniteuseful lives are no longer amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate their value may no longer be recoverable.We do not carry any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill. We generally perform our annual impairment test at the end of the fiscalyear. As we operate our business in one reporting segment, our goodwill is tested for impairment at the enterprise level. Goodwill impairment testing is atwo-step process. For the first step, we screen for impairment, and if any possible impairment exists, we undertake a second step of measuring such impairment.We periodically re-evaluate our business and have determined that we continue to operate in one segment, which we consider our sole reporting unit. If ourassumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of our goodwill. Changes in the valuation ofgoodwill could materially impact our operating results and financial position.

We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets including amortizable intangible and tangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accountingfor the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not berecoverable, we recognize such impairment in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.Our acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful lives, and periodically tested for impairment. Wehave not recorded any impairment losses to date. As of November 30, 2007, we had $412.3 million of goodwill, $111.4 million of property and equipment and$110.9 million of acquired intangible assets. If our estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges toreduce the carrying value of these assets. Changes in the valuation of long-lived assets could materially impact our operating results and financial position.

Restructuring and Integration Costs. Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of costs related to properties abandoned in connection withfacilities consolidation, related write-downs of leasehold improvements and severance and associated employee termination costs related to headcountreductions. For restructuring actions initiated prior to December 31, 2002, we followed the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) IssueNo. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. We recorded the liability related to thesetermination costs when the plan was approved; the termination benefits were determined and communicated to the employees; the number of employees to beterminated, their locations and job were specifically identified; and the period of time to implement the plan was set. For restructuring actions initiated afterJanuary 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which requires that a liability for costs associatedwith an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred.

Our restructuring charges included accruals for estimated losses on facility costs based on our contractual obligations net of estimated sublease incomebased on current comparable market rates for leases. We reassess this liability periodically based on market conditions. Revisions to our estimates of this liabilitycould materially impact our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions, such as the timing and amounts ofsublease rental income, either do not materialize or change.

Table of ContentsAccounting for Income Taxes. We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These

estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue andexpense for tax and financial statement purposes.

As part of the process of preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions inwhich we operate. This process involves us estimating our current tax exposure under the most recent tax laws and assessing temporary differences resultingfrom differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets.

We assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, includinghistorical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies inassessing the need for a valuation allowance. If it is not more likely than not that we will recover our deferred tax assets, we will increase our provision for taxesby recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable. The available positive evidence atNovember 30, 2007, included five years of historical operating profits and a projection of future income sufficient to realize most of our remaining deferred taxassets. We recorded a valuation allowance release of $1.6 million in fiscal year 2007, primarily due to the ability to claim foreign tax credits against our foreignsource income. As of November 30, 2007, it was considered more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized with the exception of certaincapital loss and foreign tax credit carryovers as we cannot forecast sufficient future capital gains or foreign source income to realize these deferred tax assets. Theremaining valuation allowance of approximately $9.1 million as of November 30, 2007, will result in an income tax benefit if and when we conclude it is morelikely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized.

As of November 30, 2007, we believed that the amount of deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet would ultimately be recovered. However,should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which we determine that it is morelikely than not that we cannot recover our deferred tax assets. If we have to re-establish a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, it would resultin an increase of $30.3 million to income tax expense.

U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on a cumulative total of $34.0 million of undistributed earnings for certainnon-U.S. subsidiaries. With the exception of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generallyconsidered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings inthe form of dividends or otherwise, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes net of available foreign tax credits associated with these earnings.

While we have not experienced and do not expect any impact to the effective tax rate for U.S. non-qualified stock option or restricted stock expense due tothe adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the effective tax rate has been and may be negatively impacted by foreign stock option expense that may not be deductible inthe foreign jurisdictions. Also, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the tax benefit of stock option deductions relating to incentive stock options be recorded in theperiod of disqualifying disposition. This could result in significant fluctuations in our effective tax rate between accounting periods.

In June 2007, we acquired Spotfire, a leading provider of next-generation business intelligence software, which is now part of our business optimizationproduct line. Our Consolidated Results of Operations have included incremental revenue and costs related to the Spotfire operations since the date of acquisition.

With the acquisition of Spotfire, TIBCO gained approximately 200 employees, based primarily in the United States and Sweden. In connection with theacquisition, we have incurred additional expenses, including amortization of intangible assets and acquired technology, acquired in-process research anddevelopment (“IPR&D”) costs, stock-based compensation, personnel and related costs, facility and infrastructure costs and other charges. As a result of theseexpenses, costs and charges, the acquisition is dilutive to earnings in fiscal year 2007.

Total revenue in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006 increased by $60.1 million or 12%. The increase was primarily due to a $19.2 million or8% increase in license revenue and a $40.9 million or 15% increase in service and maintenance revenue. Geographically, we experienced growth in total revenuefrom all major regions in fiscal year 2007. In particular, we had a high percentage rate of growth in revenue from EMEA. Our total revenue increased by $14.4million or 5% in the Americas, $41.1 million or 21% in EMEA and $4.6 million or 7% in APJ in fiscal year 2007. See Note 21 to our Consolidated FinancialStatements for further details on total revenue by region.

Reuters was considered a related party in the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, but during that year, Reuters reduced its holdings such that as ofNovember 30, 2005, Reuters owned less than 1% of our outstanding common stock. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, Reuters was no longerconsidered a related party. We recognized the initial $9.9 million upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fee pursuant to an agreement with Reuters as relatedparty license revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Another $1.1 million under this agreement represented maintenance fees and was recognized ratablyover the one year maintenance period.

We had no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 or 2005. Our products are licensed by companiesworldwide in diverse industries, and a high percentage of our customers are from the financial service, telecommunication and energy sectors.

Total revenue in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005 increased by $71.4 million or 16%. The increase was primarily due to a $36.2 million or18% increase in license revenue and a $35.2 million or 15% increase in service and maintenance revenue. Geographically, our total revenue increased by $32.0million or 14% in the Americas, $25.4 million or 15% in EMEA and $14.0 million or 30% in APJ in fiscal year 2006.

Table of Contentsincrease in revenue from the financial services, channel and retail sectors, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the government sector. License revenueincreased by $36.2 million or 18% in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005, primarily due to an increase in revenue from the telecommunications,government and energy sectors, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the financial services sector.

Our license revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 was derived from the following three product lines: SOA, business optimization and BMP. Theapproximate percentages of total license revenue for the three periods was: 2007, 65% from SOA, 19% from business optimization and 16% from BPM; 2006,71% from SOA, 11% from business optimization and 18% from BPM; 2005, 72% from SOA, 9% from business optimization and 19% from BPM. The fiscalyear 2007 increase in the percentage of license revenue derived from business optimization was primarily attributable to the Spotfire acquisition.

Our license revenue in a particular period is dependent upon the timing and number of license deals and their relative size. Selected data about our licenserevenue deals recognized for the respective periods is summarized as follows:

Year Ended November 30, 2007 2006 2005 Number of license deals of $1.0 million or more 54 59 42Number of license deals over $0.1 million 376 334 316Average size of license deals over $0.1 million (in millions) $ 0.6 $ 0.7 $ 0.6

Our total license revenue in any particular period is to a certain extent dependent on the size and timing of larger license deals. We currently expect thenumber of license transactions over $0.1 million to increase in fiscal year 2008, while the size and timing of multi-million dollar transactions is more difficult toforecast.

Cost of license revenue mainly consisted of royalty costs and amortization of developed technologies acquired through corporate acquisitions. Cost oflicense revenue increased by $8.1 million or 51% in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006, and increased by $3.2 million or 26% in fiscal year 2006compared to fiscal year 2005. The increase in fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in amortization of acquired technologies, mainlyassociated with the Spotfire acquisition, and a $2.7 million increase in royalty costs. The increase in fiscal year 2006 was primarily due to a $3.2 million increasein royalty costs.

Cost of license revenue is approximately 3% to 4% of total revenue and 6% to 9% of license revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005. As stated above,our fiscal year 2007 financial results included incremental revenue and costs attributable to the Spotfire operations.

We currently expect license revenue to be approximately 44% to 47% of our total revenue and cost of license revenue to increase in absolute dollars infiscal year 2008.

Table of ContentsService and maintenance revenue increased $40.9 million or 15% in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006, and increased $35.2 million or 15% in

fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005. The increase in fiscal year 2007 was the result of a $13.1 million increase in consulting and training servicesrevenue and a $27.8 million increase in maintenance revenue. The increase in fiscal year 2006 was due to an $8.6 million increase in consulting and trainingservices revenue and a $26.5 million increase in maintenance revenue. Consulting revenue increased due to an increase in both the number and breadth ofengagements, reflecting our increased focus on providing more services to customers. Maintenance revenue increased primarily due to continued growth in ourinstalled software base.

Cost of service and maintenance revenue consisted primarily of compensation for professional services, including stock-based compensation expense,customer support personnel, third-party contractors and associated expenses related to providing consulting services.

The cost of service and maintenance revenue increased as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006, as the relativeproportion of consulting revenue increased. The cost of service and maintenance revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased in fiscal year 2006 comparedto fiscal year 2005, as a result of efforts to increase utilization of our consulting staff as well as an increase in the relative proportion of maintenance revenue. The$17.1 million or 15% increase in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006 resulted primarily from an increase of $11.0 million in employee-relatedexpenses, an increase of $3.7 million in subcontractors costs, an increase of $1.1 million in information technology related expenses and an increase of $1.0million in facilities expenses. The $6.2 million or 6% increase in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005 resulted primarily from an increase ofapproximately $8.9 million in employee-related expenses, which included a $2.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, was partially offset by a$2.6 million decrease in subcontractors costs and a $0.4 million decrease in information technology related expenses. Increased employee-related expenses wereprimarily due to an increase in professional services and customer support staff during fiscal years 2007 and 2006. Increased subcontractors costs were alsodirectly related to increased service revenue in fiscal year 2007.

We currently expect service and maintenance revenue to be approximately 53% to 56% of total revenue and the cost of service and maintenance revenue toincrease in absolute dollars in fiscal year 2008.

Total sales and marketing expenses increased by $24.6 million or 14% in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006 and was primarily due to a $22.1million increase in employee-related expenses, a $2.1 million increase in travel expenses and a $0.4 million increase in marketing programs. The increase inemployee-related expenses was due to an increase in headcount mainly attributable to the Spotfire acquisition, annual salary adjustments and $2.1 millionincrease in sales commissions. The increases in travel expenses and marketing programs were due to increased marketing activities and their related travel costs.Our fiscal year 2007 sales and marketing expenses included incremental costs attributable to Spotfire operations.

The $32.4 million or 23% increase in sales and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005 was primarily due to a $24.5 millionincrease in employee-related expenses, a $3.3 million increase in travel expenses and a $2.7 million increase in marketing programs. The increase inemployee-related expenses was due to a $14.6 million increase in sales commissions associated with an increase in revenue, increased average headcount, annualsalary adjustments and also a $4.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses. The increases in travel expenses and marketing programs were due toincreased marketing activities and their related travel costs.

We intend to increase staff in our direct sales organization and to increase our marketing efforts in the coming year, and accordingly, we currently expectthat sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars in fiscal year 2008.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, we recorded $1.1 million and $1.0 million credit adjustments to therestructuring charge related to properties vacated in connection with the consolidation of our facilities in fiscal year 2002. The adjustments resulted fromrevisions to our estimates of future sublease income due to the recovery of the applicable real estate market and the additions of new tenants. Currently, themajority of our vacated facilities under prior restructuring programs are occupied by our tenants. The estimated excess facilities expenses were based on ourcontractual obligations, net of estimated sublease income, based on current comparable rates for leases in their respective markets.

During fiscal year 2005, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to re-align our resources and cost structure, and accordingly recognized a restructuringcharge of approximately $3.9 million for the resulting workforce reduction. The restructuring plan eliminated 49 employees, across all functions and primarily inour European operations; this plan had been completed by the end of fiscal year 2006.

On December 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which requires recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employeesin our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors usingthe intrinsic value method in accordance with APB No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123. Under the intrinsic value method, we recognized stock-basedcompensation expense for the stock options granted prior to the initial public offering in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to fiscal year 2006, thestock-based compensation expense consisted mainly of compensation associated with non-employee equity awards, stock options assumed from businesscombinations and stock options granted before our initial public offering. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method we used in adoptingSFAS No. 123(R), our results of operations prior to fiscal year 2006 have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123(R).

Table of ContentsStock-based compensation expense recorded prior to fiscal year 2006 was related to non-employee stock options, stock options granted prior to the initial

public offering and stock options we assumed from business acquisitions in prior years. Such stock-based compensation expenses in fiscal years 2007 and 2006were insignificant, and were included in the total stock-based compensation expenses above. Also see Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements forfurther details on stock-based compensation.

We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value equity instruments. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the value oftraded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because our employee stock options have certain characteristics that aresignificantly different from traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value, in management’sopinion, the existing valuation model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. Although the fair value of employeestock options is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fairvalue observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

The effective tax rate in fiscal year 2007 differedfrom the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to research and development credits and the tax benefit from the release of valuation allowance resulting from theability to claim foreign tax credits against our foreign source income which was partially offset by the tax impact of certain stock compensation charges underSFAS No. 123(R) and state income tax expense. The effective tax rate in fiscal year 2006 differed from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the tax benefitfrom the release of valuation allowance and the tax benefit from the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion which was partially offset by the tax impact of certainstock compensation charges under SFAS No. 123(R) and state income tax expense. In fiscal year 2005, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of35% primarily due to the tax benefit from the partial release of valuation allowance.

In connection with the acquisition of Spotfire, we have recorded purchase accounting entries for current deferred tax assets of $4.1 million, currentdeferred tax liabilities of $17.3 million, long-term deferred tax assets of $11.9 million and long-term deferred tax liabilities of $18.7 million with a correspondingadjustment to goodwill. These deferred taxes were related to the acquired tangible and intangible assets, deferred revenue, pre-acquisition receivable and certaintax attributes of Spotfire. The IPR&D of $1.6 million that was expensed in fiscal year 2007 is not deductible for income tax purposes. This resulted in anunfavorable effective tax rate impact of 0.8% for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007.

Table of ContentsWe make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the

calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statementpurposes.

As part of the process of preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions inwhich we operate. This process involves us estimating our current tax exposure under the most recent tax laws and assessing temporary differences resultingfrom differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in ourConsolidated Balance Sheets.

We assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, includinghistorical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies inassessing the need for the valuation allowance. If it is not more likely than not that we will recover our deferred tax assets, we will increase our provision fortaxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable. The available positive evidence atNovember 30, 2007, included five years of historical operating profits and a projection of future income sufficient to realize most of our remaining deferred taxassets. We recorded a valuation allowance release of $1.6 million in fiscal year 2007, primarily due to the ability to claim foreign tax credits against our foreignsource income. As of November 30, 2007, it was considered more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized with the exception of certaincapital loss and foreign tax credit carryovers as we cannot forecast sufficient future capital gains or foreign source income to realize these deferred tax assets. Theremaining valuation allowance of approximately $9.1 million as of November 30, 2007, will result in an income tax benefit if and when we conclude it is morelikely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized.

As of November 30, 2007, we believed that the amount of deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet would ultimately be recovered. However,should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which we determine that it is morelikely than not that we cannot recover our deferred tax assets. If we have to re-establish a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, it would resultin an increase of $30.3 million to income tax expense.

Our income taxes payable for federal purposes have been reduced by the tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options during thefiscal year and utilization of net operating loss carryover applicable to both stock options and acquired entities. The benefits applicable to stock options werecredited directly to stockholders’ equity when realized and amounted to $19.5 million and $24.7 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were $397.2 million and $114.4 million,respectively, which expire through 2023. As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were $41.4 millionand $24.4 million, respectively. The federal tax credit carryforwards expire through 2027 and the state tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on a cumulative total of $34.0 million of undistributed earnings for certainnon-U.S. subsidiaries. With the exception of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generallyconsidered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings inthe form of dividends or otherwise, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes net of available foreign tax credits associated with these earnings.

While we have not experienced and do not expect any impact to the effective tax rate for U.S. non-qualified stock option or restricted stock expense due tothe adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the effective tax rate has been and may be negatively impacted by foreign stock option expense that may not be deductible inthe foreign

Table of Contentsjurisdictions. Also, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the tax benefit of stock option deductions relating to incentive stock options be recorded in the period ofdisqualifying disposition. This could result in significant fluctuations in our effective tax rate between accounting periods.

We have elected to track the portion of our federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards attributable to stock option benefits, in aseparate memo account pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). Therefore, these amounts are no longer included in our gross or net deferred tax assets. Pursuant to SFASNo. 123(R), footnote 82, the benefit of these net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will only be recorded to equity when they reduce cash taxes payable.

As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards being accounted for in the memo account were $313.8 million and $97.5million, respectively. As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state tax credit carryforwards being accounted for in the memo account were $38.1 million and$14.7 million, respectively.

In the event of a change in ownership, as defined under federal and state tax laws, our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject toannual limitations. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Cash Flows

As of November 30, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $265.8 million, representing a decrease of $273.8 millionfrom November 30, 2006. Our total cash and cash equivalent balance was $170.2 million as of November 30, 2007. As of November 30, 2007, our short-termavailable-for-sale investments totaled $95.5 million, primarily consisting of U.S. government debt securities and high investment grade corporate debt,asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2007 was $102.3 million, resulting from net income of $51.9 million, adjusted for $52.8 million innon-cash charges and $(2.4) million net change in assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges included depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,acquired IPR&D, minority interest and tax benefits related to stock benefit plans, less deferred income tax and excess tax benefits from stock-basedcompensation recorded in financing activities following the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal year 2006. Net change in assets and liabilities included anincrease in accounts receivable due to increased total revenue, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets due to prepayments of certain royalties and timingdifference in recoverable value added tax, an increase in deferred revenue and a decrease in accrued liabilities other than those liabilities assumed in the Spotfireacquisition.

To the extent that non-cash items increase or decrease our future operating results, there will be no corresponding impact on our cash flows. Afterexcluding the effects of these non-cash charges, the primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities result from changes in working capital. Ourprimary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers, including maintenance which is typically billed annually inadvance. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay ourvendors and service providers in accordance with the invoice terms and conditions. The timing of cash payments in future periods will be impacted by the termsof accounts payable arrangements.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $115.0 million in fiscal year 2007, resulting primarily from the net cash proceeds from short-terminvestments of $309.4 million, which was partially offset by cash used, net of cash acquired, of $182.9 million for the Spotfire acquisition and cash used of $12.6million in capital expenditures. In addition, we used part of the net proceeds from sales of short-term investments to finance our stock repurchase program.

Table of ContentsNet cash used for financing activities was $190.0 million in fiscal year 2007, resulting primarily from our $226.9 million repurchase of shares of our

common stock on the open market, $4.0 million complete repayment of Spotfire’s revolving line of credit and $2.3 million repayment on other long-term debts,less $25.0 million cash received from the exercise of stock options and the sale of stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Program, and $18.0 million excesstax benefits from stock-based compensation in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R). Additionally, proceeds of $0.2 million were received fromminority investors.

In December 2006, the Audit Committee on behalf of our Board of Directors approved an eighteen-month stock repurchase program pursuant to which wewere authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In April 2007, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchaseprogram pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privatelynegotiated transactions. In connection with approving the April 2007 stock repurchase program, the December 2006 stock repurchase program was terminatedand the remaining authorized amount of $58.2 million under the December 2006 stock repurchase program was canceled. In fiscal year 2007, we repurchasedapproximately 25.6 million shares of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $8.87 per share pursuant to the programs. As of January 18, 2008, theremaining authorized amount under the April 2007 stock repurchase program was $81.2 million.

We currently anticipate that our operating expenses will grow in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future, and we intend to fund our operating expensesprimarily through cash flows from operations. Our capital expenditures are currently expected to be approximately $10.0 million to $15.0 million in fiscal year2008. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments together with expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meetour anticipated cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and currently approved stock repurchases for at least the next 12 months. However,we may require or desire additional funds to support our operating expenses and capital requirements or for other purposes, such as acquisitions, and may seek toraise such additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing or from other sources.

Commitments

In June 2003, we purchased our corporate headquarters with a $54.0 million mortgage note to lower our operating costs. The mortgage note payablecarries a 20-year amortization and, as amended in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, a fixed annual interest rate of 5.50%. The principal balance of $34.4million that will be remaining at the end of the 10-year term will be due as a final lump sum payment on July 1, 2013. Under the applicable terms of the mortgagenote agreements, we are prohibited from acquiring another company without prior consent from the lender unless we maintain at least $50.0 million of cash orcash equivalents and meet other non-financial terms as defined in the agreements. In addition, we are subject to certain non-financial covenants as defined in theagreements. We were in compliance with all covenants as of November 30, 2007.

In conjunction with the purchase of our corporate headquarters, we entered into a 51-year lease of the land upon which the property is located. The leasewas paid in advance for a total of $28.0 million, but is subject to adjustments every 10 years based upon changes in fair market value of the land. Should itbecome necessary, we have the option to prepay any rent increases due as a result of a change in fair market value.

We have a $20.0 million revolving line of credit that matures on June 19, 2008. The revolving line of credit is available for cash borrowings and for theissuance of letters of credit up to $20.0 million. As of November 30, 2007, no borrowings were outstanding under the facility and a $13.0 million irrevocableletter of credit was outstanding, leaving $7.0 million of available credit for additional letters of credit or cash borrowings. The $13.0 million irrevocable letter ofcredit outstanding was issued in connection with the mortgage note payable. The letter of credit automatically renews for successive one-year periods, until themortgage note payable has been satisfied in full. We are required to maintain a minimum of $40.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-terminvestments, net of total current and long-term indebtedness, as well as comply with other

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We invest excess cash in marketable debtinstruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, high-quality corporate debt securities, asset-backed and mortgage-backed debt securities and, by policy,limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market and investment risk.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fairmarket value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due inpart to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced tosell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates or other factors in the current unstable credit environment. As ofNovember 30, 2007, we had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities totaling $95.5 million, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents.These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded on the balance sheets at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses reported as aseparate component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses are charged against income when a decline in fair market value is determined to beother-than-temporary. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.

A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $1.0 million decrease in the fair value of our available-for-sale debtsecurities as of November 30, 2007.

Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct business in the Americas, EMEA, and APJ. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currencyexchange rates or changes in economic conditions in foreign markets. The majority of sales are currently made in U.S. dollars; a strengthening of the dollar couldmake our products less competitive. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiariesinto U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements intoU.S. dollars will lead to translation adjustments which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. We enter into forward contracts withfinancial institutions to manage our currency exposure related to net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts aregenerally settled monthly. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, nomatter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures aremet. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefitrelationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Table of ContentsManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal

control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reportingmay not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may becomeinadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria setforth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment usingthose criteria, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of November 30, 2007.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2007, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, anindependent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report that appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during thefourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We conducted ouraudits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and performthe audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control overfinancial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting theamounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating theoverall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control basedon the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our auditsprovide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective December 1, 2005, the Company changed the manner in which itaccounts for stock-based compensation.

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

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

We provide a broad range ofstandards-based infrastructure software solutions that help organizations achieve the benefits of real-time business. Our infrastructure software gives customersthe ability to constantly innovate by connecting applications and data in a service-oriented architecture, streamlining activities through business processmanagement, and giving people the information and intelligence tools they need to make faster and smarter decisions, what we call The Power of Now®.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significantintercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For majority-owned subsidiaries, we reflect the minority interest of the portionwe do not own on our Consolidated Balance Sheets between Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity.

Fiscal Years

Our fiscal year is a 12 month period ending on November 30 of a stated year. For the purpose of presentation, we also refer to the fiscal years endedNovember 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, as our fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of Americarequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates.

Revenue Recognition

License revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license agreements. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contractor other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable andcollection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When contracts contain multiple elements wherein vendor-specific objective evidence exists for allundelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method” prescribed by the American Institute of Certified PublicAccountants’ (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-9, Modification of SOP-97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to CertainTransactions. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognizedratably over the term of the subscription period. Fair value of services, such as consulting or training, is based upon separate sales of these services. When therenewal period for maintenance is not substantive compared to the term of a term license, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the term.

Revenue on shipments to resellers, which is generally subject to certain rights of return and price protection, is recognized when the products are sold bythe resellers to an end-user customer and recorded net of related costs to the resellers. Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum,non-refundable license fees from OEM customers are generally recognized upon delivery and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports ofunits shipped.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Professional services revenue consists primarily of revenue received for assisting with the implementation of our software, on-site support, training andother consulting services. Many customers who license our software also enter into separate professional services arrangements with the Company. Indetermining whether professional services revenue should be accounted for separately from license revenue, we evaluate, among other factors: the nature of oursoftware products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of our implementation services, which typically do not involvesignificant customization to or development of the underlying software code; the availability of services from other vendors; whether the timing of payments forlicense revenue is coincident with performance of services; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the software licensefee. Substantially all of our professional services arrangements are billed on a time and materials basis and, accordingly, are recognized as the services areperformed. Contracts with fixed or not-to-exceed fees are recognized on a proportional performance basis. If there is significant uncertainty about the projectcompletion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Training revenue is recognized astraining services are delivered.

For arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting for the license and professional services revenues, including arrangements that involvesignificant modification or customization of the software, that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of thesoftware license fees, or where payment for the software license is tied to the performance of professional services, software license revenue is generallyrecognized together with the professional services revenue using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. Under thepercentage-of-completion method, revenue recognized is equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated total contract costs, based on currentestimates of costs to complete the project. If the total estimated costs to complete a project exceed the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the entireanticipated loss would be recognized currently.

Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates on a when and if available basis and technical support for software products(“post-contract customer support” or “PCS”). Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Payments received in advance of services performed are deferred. Allowances for estimated future returns and discounts are provided for upon recognitionof revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts of our financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to theirshort maturities. The fair values of our available-for-sale investments in marketable securities and derivative instruments are detailed further in Note 4.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash, cash equivalentsand investments are deposited with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earnedfrom customers located primarily in the United States and Europe. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and, generally,require no collateral from our customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on various factors, including our review of creditprofiles of our customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends and historical payment experience; see Note 5 for further details. We do notexpect to incur material losses with respect to financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in fiscal years 2007, 2006 or 2005. No customer had a balance in excess of 10% of our netaccounts receivable as of November 30, 2007 or 2006.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

We consider all highly liquid investment securities with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheetdate. To date, all marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, if any, included asa component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Stockholders’ Equity. These available-for-sale investments are presented as Current Assetsas they are subject to use within one year in current operations. Interest, dividends, realized gains and losses and impairment losses are included in InterestIncome and Other Income (Expense). Realized gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized based on the specific identification method.

Valuation and Impairment of Short-Term Investments

We monitor our investment portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and thedecline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the investment is established. In order todetermine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we evaluate, among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less thanthe carrying value; our financial condition and business outlook, including key operational and cash flow metrics, current market conditions and future trends inthe industry; our relative competitive position within the industry; and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow forany anticipated recovery in fair market value.

Other Investments

Our investments also include minority equity investments in privately held companies that are generally carried at cost basis and are included in OtherAssets on the Balance Sheets. The fair value of these investments is dependent on the performance of the companies in which we invested, as well as thevolatility inherent in external markets for these investments. In assessing potential impairment, we consider these factors as well as each of the companies’ cashposition, earnings/revenue outlook, liquidity and management/ownership. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists, we write down theinvestment to market value and record the related write-down as a loss on investments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying value of ourminority equity investments is $0.9 million and $1.6 million as of November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006, wesold one of our private equity investments and realized a net gain of $0.7 million. No impairment losses associated with our minority equity investment wereincurred in the periods presented.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimateduseful lives of the assets as follows:

Estimated useful livesBuildings 25 yearsEquipment and software 2 – 5 yearsFurniture and fixtures 5 yearsLeasehold improvements Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $16.2 million, $15.6 million and $15.0 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and intangible assetswith indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate their value may no longer berecoverable. We do not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process: first, we screenfor impairment, and if any possible impairment exists, we then undertake a second step of measuring such impairment. We generally perform our goodwillimpairment test annually in our fourth fiscal quarter, and the last impairment test was completed for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. SFAS No. 142requires impairment testing based on reporting units. We periodically re-evaluate our business and have determined that we continue to operate in one segment,which we consider our sole reporting unit. Therefore, goodwill was tested and will continue to be tested for impairment at the enterprise level. To date, we havedetermined that there has been no impairment of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets which includes amortizable intangible and tangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Our acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives.We evaluate long-lived assets, other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-livedassets may not be recoverable. We recognize such impairment in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flowsattributable to such assets. No long-lived assets impairment losses were incurred in the fiscal years presented.

Restructuring and Integration Costs

Our restructuring charges are comprised primarily of costs related to properties abandoned in connection with facilities consolidation, related write-downsof leasehold improvements and severance and associated employee termination costs related to headcount reductions. For restructuring actions initiated prior toDecember 31, 2002, we followed the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain EmployeeTermination Benefits and Other Costs To Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Associated with a Restructuring) and EITF Issue No. 88-10, Costs Associatedwith Lease Modification or Termination. We recorded the liability related to these termination costs when the plan was approved and the period of time toimplement the plan was set. For restructuring actions initiated after January 1, 2003, we adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit orDisposal Activities, which requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value onlywhen the liability is incurred.

Our restructuring charges included accruals for estimated losses on excess facility costs based on our contractual obligations net of estimated subleaseincome based on current comparable market rates for leases. We reassess this liability periodically based on market conditions. Revisions to our estimates of thisliability could materially impact our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions, such as the timing andamounts of sublease rental income, either change or do not materialize.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) Stock-Based Compensation

Change in Accounting Principle

On December 1, 2005, the beginning of our fiscal year 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”),which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values. Pro forma disclosure is nolonger an alternative to financial statement recognition. We elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123(R) andtherefore have not restated our financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, the post adoption stock-based compensation expense also includesexpense for all stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 1, 2005, and the estimated fair values of which were established on thegrant dates in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes previousaccounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and also amends SFAS No. 95, Statement ofCash Flows. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107 providing supplementalimplementation guidance for SFAS No. 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB No. 107 in our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Our fiscal year 2007 and2006 financial results reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R).

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordancewith APB No. 25 as allowed under SFAS No. 123. Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options had beenrecognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations prior to fiscal year 2006, because the exercise price of our stock options granted to employees anddirectors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Prior to fiscal year 2006, the stock-based compensation expense mainlycomprised of compensation associated with non-employee equity awards, stock options assumed from business combinations and stock options granted beforeour initial public offering.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimatedfair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value ofstock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. We determined that a blend of implied volatility andhistorical volatility is more reflective of the market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than solely using historical volatility. The value of theportion of the post adoption award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service (vesting) periods on a straight-line basisin our Consolidated Statements of Operations and the expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated atthe time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Prior to fiscal year 2006, we accounted forforfeitures as they occurred for the purposes of the disclosure of pro forma information under SFAS No. 123. For stock options granted prior to December 1,2005, stock-based compensation is amortized on an accelerated basis and will continue to be recognized using the accelerated approach. The cumulative impactdue to the change in accounting principles for forfeitures was immaterial, and therefore was not recorded as a separate line item in our Consolidated FinancialStatements.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal year 2006, income before income taxes and net income in fiscal year 2006 were lower by $15.8 millionand $13.5 million, respectively, and both basic and diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2006 were $0.06 per share lower than if we had continued to accountfor stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we presented the tax benefit of stock option exercises asoperating cash flows. $21.5 million of tax benefit resulting from tax deductions in excess of the tax benefit related to compensation cost recognized for thoseoptions are classified as financing cash flows in fiscal year 2006 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we have elected the “long form” method for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant toSFAS No. 123(R), paragraph 81. Under the “long form” method, we determine the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) relatedto the tax effects of the employee stock-based compensation “as if” we had adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 since its effective date ofJanuary 1, 1995. We also determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effect of employeestock–based compensation awards that were issued after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and outstanding at the adoption date.

Consistent with prior years, we use the “with and without” approach as described in EITF Topic No. D-32 in determining the order in which our taxattributes are utilized. The “with and without” approach results in the recognition of the windfall stock option tax benefits only after all other tax attributes,except for pre-acquisition tax attributes of acquired entities, have been considered in the annual tax accrual computation. Also consistent with prior years, weconsider the indirect effects of the windfall deduction on the computation of other tax attributes, such as the R&D credit deduction, as an additional component ofequity. This incremental tax effect is recorded to additional paid in capital when realized.

Prior Year Pro forma Disclosure

If the fair value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied in measuring employee stock-based compensation expenses in fiscal year2005, the pro forma effect on net income and net income per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except income per share amounts):

Year EndedNovember 30,

2005 Net income, as reported $ 72,555

Stock-based compensation expense for employees previously determined under intrinsic value method, net of taxeffect 24

Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value method, net of related tax effects (22,993)

Pro forma net income, after effect of stock-based compensation for employees $ 49,586

Basic net income per share: As reported $ 0.34 Pro forma $ 0.23

Diluted net income per share: As reported $ 0.32 Pro forma $ 0.23

Income Taxes

We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in thecalculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statementpurposes.

We assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, includinghistorical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies inassessing the need for the valuation allowance. If it is not more likely than not that we will recover our deferred tax assets, we will increase our provision fortaxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) Foreign Currency

All of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiariesare translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for theperiod. Cumulative translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Foreigncurrency transaction gains and losses, derived from monetary assets and liabilities stated in a currency other than the functional currency, are recorded in theConsolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded foreign currency transaction gains and (losses) of $(1.5) million, $0.8 million and $(1.4) million in fiscalyears 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, in Other Income (Expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Costs related to research and development are generally charged to expense as incurred. Capitalization of material software development costs beginswhen a product’s technological feasibility has been established in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of ComputerSoftware to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility, which we have defined as the establishmentof a working model, and which typically occurs when beta testing commences, and the general availability of such software has been very short. Accordingly,software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

Costs related to software acquired, developed or modified solely to meet our internal requirements and for which there are no substantive plans to marketare capitalized in accordance with the provisions of AICPA SOP No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for InternalUse. Costs incurred after the preliminary planning stage of the project and after management has authorized and committed funds to the project are capitalized.Costs capitalized for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are included in Property and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $1.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005,respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We account for derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Thisstatement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities in thestatement of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value throughearnings. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, its change in fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of thehedged asset or liability, firm commitment through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

To manage currency exposure related to net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, we enter into forward contracts for certain foreigndenominated assets or liabilities. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We had nine outstanding forward contracts with atotal notional amount of $83.6 million as of November 30, 2007. These derivative instruments are not designed for hedge accounting and are adjusted to fairvalue through Other Income (Expense) under the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain on fair value of these forward contracts as of November 30,2007, was approximately $0.4 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No.141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiableassets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosurerequirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption ofSFAS No. 141(R) on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of AccountingResearch Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by partiesother than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest,and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements thatclearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal yearsbeginning after December 15, 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of theadoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment ofFASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assetsor liabilities to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigatevolatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. UnderSFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items forwhich the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Eligible items include, but are not limited to, accounts and loansreceivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and firm commitments. Ifelected, SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing whether fair value accounting is appropriatefor any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, on our results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes aframework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 iseffective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods of those fiscal years. We are currently assessingthe impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”). This interpretation requires companies to

FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosurerequirements for tax contingencies. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is required to be adopted by us in the first quarterof fiscal year 2008. The differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amountsreported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. In addition, in May 2007,the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP FIN 48-1 is anamendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previouslyunrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48, and therefore will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal year2008. The actual impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 in our results of operations and financial position will depend on facts and circumstancesthat exist on the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods orServices Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (“EITF No. 07-3”). EITF No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments forgoods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as thegoods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF No. 07-3 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of EITF No. 07-3 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In the beginning of fiscal year 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections, which had no material effect on ourconsolidated results of operations and financial position.

3. Business Combination

Acquisition in Fiscal Year 2007

Spotfire Holdings, Inc.

On June 5, 2007, we acquired Spotfire Holdings, Inc. (“Spotfire”), a privately held company headquartered in Massachusetts and a leading provider ofnext generation business intelligence software, which is now part of our business optimization product line. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the“Merger Agreement”), we acquired all the outstanding equity excluding the unvested options of Spotfire for approximately $190.4 million in cash plustransaction costs. In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each unvested option of Spotfire was canceled and substituted with an option to purchase ourcommon stock (each, a “Substitute Option”). We granted approximately 887,000 shares of Substitute Options on the closing date of the acquisition. SubstituteOptions were valued using the Black-Scholes model on the day of the acquisition with a fair value of $5.4 million and will be expensed as stock-basedcompensation on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of the underlying awards.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. A summary of the purchase price of the acquisition is as follows (inthousands):

Cash paid $ 190,430Direct transaction costs 3,226

Total purchase price $ 193,656

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The allocation of the estimated purchase price for this acquisition, as of the date of the acquisition, is as follows (in thousands):

Cash acquired $ 10,408 Other assets acquired 43,371 Deferred income tax assets 11,908 Identifiable intangible assets 72,300 Acquired in-process research and development 1,600 Goodwill 121,447

Total assets acquired 261,034 Liabilities assumed (35,394)Deferred income tax liabilities (31,984)

Total liabilities assumed (67,378)

Net assets acquired $193,656

The amount of the total purchase price allocated to the tangible assets acquired was assigned based on the fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Thefair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined using the income approach which discounts expected future cash flows to presentvalue using estimated assumptions determined by management. We believe that these identified intangible assets had no residual value after their estimatedeconomic useful lives. Our methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was determinedthrough established valuation techniques. Acquired IPR&D was expensed upon acquisition as technological feasibility had not been established and no futurealternate use existed. These identifiable intangible assets are subject to amortization on a straight line basis as this best approximates the benefit period related tothese assets (in thousands, except amortization period):

$ 72,300

The excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. We anticipate that none of the goodwillrecorded in connection with the Spotfire acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The purchase method of accounting requires us to reduce Spotfire’s deferred revenue as of the acquisition date to an amount equal to the fair value of theservice and maintenance obligations assumed from Spotfire. We based our determination of the fair value of the service and maintenance obligations throughestablished valuation techniques using estimates and assumptions provided by management. As a result, in allocating the purchase price, we recorded anadjustment to reduce the carrying value of Spotfire’s deferred revenue resulting in lower revenues in periods following the acquisition than Spotfire would haveachieved as a separate company.

The acquired tangible assets included $34.3 million of accounts receivable for contracts with payment terms, of which $21.4 million are due within oneyear and are included in Other Current Assets and the remaining $12.9 million are due after one year and are classified as non-current Other Assets on theBalance Sheet. As the fair value of the service and maintenance obligations assumed is less than the amount of accounts receivable with future payment terms,our cash flows related to these contracts are anticipated to be greater than revenues recorded from these contracts.

Spotfire had a revolving line of credit with a bank secured by certain Spotfire property and equipment. On the closing date of the acquisition, theoutstanding balance under the revolving line of credit of $4.0 million was paid in full and the associated revolving line of credit loan agreement was terminated.

Acquisitions in Fiscal Year 2005

Velosel Corporation

On August 1, 2005, we acquired certain assets of Velosel Corporation (“Velosel”), a provider of customer and product information management. The totalpurchase price was approximately $3.4 million paid in cash. Substantially all of the purchase price was related to amortizable intangible assets, includingdeveloped technologies. The acquired intangible assets are amortizable over their estimated useful lives of three to six years. No goodwill has been recorded forthis acquisition as the fair value of acquired assets exceeded the purchase price.

The results of operations of Velosel have been included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from August 1, 2005. As the effect of thisacquisition would not have been material to our results of operations, pro forma results as if we had acquired Velosel at the beginning of fiscal year 2005 are notpresented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amounts allocated to developed technology, patents/core technology and customer base are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years.Maintenance agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives of nine years and non-competition agreements are amortized over their estimated usefullives of three years. Goodwill is not being amortized and will be tested for impairment annually or sooner if circumstances indicate that impairment may haveoccurred.

The results of operations of ObjectStar have been included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from March 7, 2005.

As of November 30, 2007, the investments that we hold are all high investment grade. The unrealized losses on our investments were due primarily tochange in interest rates and market and credit conditions of the underlying securities. For all investments other than those with an other-than-temporaryimpairment, it is expected that our investments will not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because we have the ability and intentto hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as ofNovember 30, 2007. We estimated the fair values based on quoted market prices or pricing models provided by credit rating agencies. These estimated fairvalues many not be representative of actual values that could have been realized as of year-end or that will be realized in the future.

We periodically assess whether significant facts and circumstance have arisen to indicate an adverse effect on the fair value of the underlying investmentthat might indicate material deterioration in the creditworthiness of our issuers. During our year end assessment, we determined the declines in value of certaininvestments associated with asset-backed securities to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recorded impairments of approximately $0.3 million in fiscalyear 2007. We include these impairments in Other Income (Expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on market conditions, we mayrecord additional impairments on our investment portfolio in the future.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) in a Purchase Business Combination, which requires that these acquisition integration expenses, which are not associated with the generation of future revenuesand have no future economic benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired.

In connection with our acquisition of Spotfire in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded an accrual of $0.4 million for acquisition integrationliabilities, which include the incremental cost associated with the termination of certain employees; as of November 30, 2007, these employees were allterminated.

In connection with our acquisition of Staffware in June 2004, we recorded an accrual of $2.9 million for the estimated expenses due to the Staffwarefacilities that we expected to abandon. In addition, we recorded an accrual of $2.6 million for severance related to the termination of redundant Staffwarepersonnel and $0.2 million related to the cancellation of certain marketing programs.

In connection with the acquisition of Talarian in April 2002, we abandoned the Talarian facilities and recorded an accrual of $7.4 million for the estimatedlosses to be incurred to sublet such facilities. In addition, we recorded an accrual of $1.0 million for severance related to the termination of redundant personnel.As of November 30, 2005, we had determined that there were no future liabilities relating to Talarian acquisition integration costs and consequently released theexcess accrual of $0.9 million, offsetting goodwill by the same amount.

Accrued Restructuring Costs

2002 Restructuring Program. In fiscal year 2002, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $49.3 million, consisting of $47.6 million related toconsolidation of facilities and $1.7 million for headcount reductions which had been fully utilized. These restructuring charges were recorded to align our coststructure with changing market conditions. We expected to fulfill our cash obligation no later than 2011. We have been working with corporate real estatebrokers to sublease unoccupied facilities. Currently, a majority of these vacated facilities are occupied by our tenants.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, we recorded $2.2 million in additional restructuring charges related to properties vacated in connection withfacilities consolidation. The additional restructuring charges resulted from revisions to our estimates of future sublease income due to continued weakness of theapplicable real estate market. The estimated excess facilities costs were based on our contractual obligations, net of estimated sublease income, based on currentcomparable rates for leases in their respective markets.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, we recorded a $1.0 million credit adjustment to the restructuring charges related to properties vacated inconnection with facilities consolidation. The adjustment resulted from revisions to our estimates of future sublease income due to the recovery of the applicablereal estate markets and adding a new tenant to the remaining vacated facilities.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded a $1.1 million credit adjustment to the restructuring charges related to properties vacated in connectionwith facilities consolidation. The adjustment resulted from revisions to our estimates of future sublease income due to the recovery of the applicable real estatemarket.

2005 Restructuring Program. In fiscal year 2005, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to re-align our resources and cost structure and, accordingly,recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $3.9 million for the resulting workforce reduction. The restructuring plan eliminated 49 employees, across allfunctions and primarily in our European operations; this plan had been completed by the end of fiscal year 2006.

Initial Public Offering SecuritiesLitigation.” This is one of a number of cases challenging underwriting practices in the initial public offerings (each, an “IPO”) of more than 300 companies,which have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as “In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation.” Plaintiffs generally allege that the underwritersengaged in undisclosed and improper underwriting activities, namely the receipt of excessive brokerage commissions and customer agreements regardingpost-offering purchases of stock in exchange for allocations of IPO shares. Plaintiffs also allege that various investment bank securities analysts issued false andmisleading analyst reports. The complaint against us claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statementsfor our IPO and secondary public offering and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased our securities or sold putoptions during the time period from July 13, 1999, to December 6, 2000.

A lawsuit with similar allegations of undisclosed improper underwriting practices, and part of the same coordinated proceedings, is pending againstTalarian, which we acquired in 2002. That action is captioned “In re Talarian Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation.” The complaint against Talarian,certain of its underwriters and certain of its former directors and officers claims that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in theregistration statement for Talarian’s IPO and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased Talarian securities during thetime period from July 20, 2000, to December 6, 2000.

In 2004, a stipulation of Settlement (the “Settlement”) was submitted to the Court, and in 2005, the Court granted preliminary approval. Under theSettlement, we and our subsidiary Talarian would have been dismissed of all claims in exchange for a contingent payment guarantee by the insurance companiesresponsible for insuring us and Talarian as issuers. Class certification was a condition of the Settlement. After the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued aruling overturning class certification in six test cases for the coordinated proceedings, the Settlement was terminated in June 2007 by stipulation of the parties andorder of the Court. On August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and amended complaints in the six test cases, which the defendants in thosecases have moved to dismiss. It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If no settlement is achieved, we believe that we and Talarianhave meritorious defenses and intend to defend the actions vigorously. However, the litigation results cannot be predicted at this point.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) Common Stock

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorizes us to issue 1.2 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock. As of November 30,2007, approximately 191,150,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares of common stock as of November 30, 2007,include approximately 2,042,000 shares of restricted stock. All of the outstanding shares of restricted stock remain unvested as of November 30, 2007. Thebalance of unvested restricted stock will be forfeited and automatically transferred back to the Company at no cost upon the recipient’s discontinuingemployment for any reason.

Adoption of Stockholder Rights Plan

In February 2004, our Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan designed to guard against partial tender offers and other coercive tactics to gaincontrol of the Company without offering a fair and adequate price and terms to all of our stockholders.

In connection with the plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) to purchase one one-thousandth share of our Series AParticipating Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) for each share of our common stock outstanding on March 5, 2004 (the “Record Date”). Of the 75.0 millionshares of preferred stock authorized under our certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, 25.0 million have been designated as Series A Preferred. TheBoard of Directors further directed the issuance of one such right with respect to each share of our common stock that is issued after the Record Date, except incertain circumstances. The rights will expire on March 5, 2014.

The Rights are initially attached to our common stock and will not be traded separately. If a person or a group (an “Acquiring Person”) acquires 15% ormore of our common stock, or announces an intention to make a tender offer for 15% or more of our common stock, the Rights will be distributed and willthereafter be traded separately from the common stock. Each Right will be exercisable for 1/1000th of a share of Series A Preferred at an exercise price of $70(the “Purchase Price”). The Series A Preferred has been structured so that the value of 1/1000th of a share of such preferred stock will approximate the value ofone share of common stock. Upon a person becoming an Acquiring Person, holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to receive,upon exercise, shares of our common stock having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price.

If a person becomes an Acquiring Person and we are acquired in a merger or other business combination, or 50% or more of our assets are sold to anAcquiring Person, the holder of Rights (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to receive shares of common stock of the acquiring corporationhaving a value equal to two times the Purchase Price. After a person has become an Acquiring Person, our Board of Directors may, at its option, require theexchange of outstanding Rights (other than those held by the Acquiring Person) for common stock at an exchange ratio of one share of our common stock perRight.

The Board may redeem outstanding rights at any time prior to a person becoming an Acquiring Person at a price of $0.001 per Right. Prior to such time,the terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors.

Stock Repurchase Programs

In December 2005, our Board of Directors approved an eighteen-month stock repurchase program pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase upto $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In December 2006, the Audit Committee on behalf of our Board of Directors approved an eighteen-monthstock repurchase program pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In connection withapproving the December 2006 stock repurchase program, the December 2005 stock

In connection with approving the April 2007 stockrepurchase program, the December 2006 stock repurchase program was terminated and the remaining authorized amount of $58.2 million under the December2006 stock repurchase program was canceled. As of November 30, 2007, we had $114.9 million available for purchases under the April 2007 stock repurchaseprogram.

During fiscal year 2008, up to January 18, 2008, we have repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares of our outstanding common stock at an averageprice of $7.22 pursuant to the April 2007 stock repurchase program.

14. Stock Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Benefit Plans

1996 Stock Option Plan. In 1996, we adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Stock Plan”). The 1996 Stock Plan provides for the granting ofstock options and stock awards to our employees and consultants.

Stock options granted under the 1996 Stock Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options may begranted only to employees (including officers and directors who are employees). Nonqualified stock options may be granted to our employees and consultants.Stock options are granted generally at fair market value on the date of grant and generally vest over four years. Generally, stock options granted from our 1996Stock Plan prior to December 1, 2005, have a contractual term of ten years from the date of grant, and stock options granted from our 1996 Stock Plan on or afterDecember 1, 2005, have a contractual term of seven years from the date of grant.

In addition to stock options, we may issue restricted stock or restricted stock units to our employees (including officers and directors who are employees).Shares of restricted stock are issued at the time of grant, but held in escrow until they are vested. The recipient of restricted stock becomes the owner of record ofthe stock immediately upon grant, subject to certain restrictions. The balance of unvested restricted stock will be forfeited and automatically transferred back tothe Company at no cost upon the recipient’s discontinuing employment. Upon vesting of restricted stock, the recipient has the option to settle minimumwithholding taxes

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) by electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable shares having a fair market value equal to the required tax obligations (“net-settlement”). Thenet-settlement shares are then immediately cancelled and retired. As vesting of restricted stock units occur, common stock is issued. The recipient of restrictedstock units does not acquire any rights as a stockholder until the restricted stock units are settled upon vesting and the recipient actually receives shares of ourcommon stock.

Our stock option agreements and stock award agreements generally provide for partial accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of theCompany. Also, one employee has entered into an agreement with the Company and certain employees are covered by a change in control and severance planthat provides for partial accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company.

The 1996 Stock Plan provides for an automatic increase to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance to be added on the first day ofeach fiscal year, equal to the lesser of (i) 60 million shares, (ii) 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock or (iii) a lesser amount determined by theBoard of Directors. As of November 30, 2007, there were 26.6 million shares reserved for grants under the 1996 Stock Plan. For fiscal year 2008, no additionalshares were added to the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 Stock Plan. As of November 30, 2007, 36.3 million shares underlyingstock options, 2.0 million shares of restricted stock and 0.6 million shares underlying restricted stock units were outstanding under the 1996 Stock Plan.

Talarian Stock Option Plans. In April 2003, we assumed all of the Talarian Stock Option Plans (the “Talarian Plans”) in connection with our acquisitionof Talarian. At the date of acquisition, all outstanding options of Talarian common stock were converted, according to the exchange ratio, into options of ourcommon stock with terms and conditions equivalent to those applicable at the time of conversion. As of November 30, 2007, there were no shares reserved forgrant and approximately 26,000 shares underlying options outstanding under the Talarian Plans.

2000 Extensibility Stock Option Plan. In 2000, we adopted the 2000 Extensibility Stock Option Plan (the “Extensibility Plan”) in connection withoptions assumed in our acquisition of Extensibility. Extensibility employees who continued service with us were granted options with terms and conditionsequivalent to those applicable at the date of acquisition. As of November 30, 2007, there were no shares reserved for grant and approximately 24,000 sharesunderlying options outstanding under the Extensibility Plan.

1998 Director Option Plan. In February 1998, we adopted the 1998 Director Option Plan (the “Director Plan”). As amended in April 2003, the DirectorPlan provides for an automatic initial grant of 100,000 shares to members of the Board who are not our employees (each, an “Outside Director”). At anysubsequent annual re-election, each Outside Director is granted an option to purchase 40,000 additional shares. Options are granted at an exercise price not lessthan the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and become exercisable over a three-year period with a third of the shares vesting annually. Asamended in February 2006, any Outside Director with over one year of consecutive service prior to the effective date of the Director Plan received an initial grantof 450,000 shares. Options granted prior to February 27, 2006, have a term not to exceed ten years, and options granted on or after February 27, 2006, have aterm not to exceed seven years. As of November 30, 2007, there were 2.1 million shares reserved for grant and 1.3 million shares underlying options outstandingunder the Director Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Program. In June 1999, we amended the 1996 Stock Plan to include the Employee Stock Purchase Program (“ESPP”).Employees are generally eligible to participate in the ESPP if they are employed by us for more than 20 hours per week and more than five months in a calendaryear and are not (and would not become as a result of being granted an option under the ESPP) 5% stockholders of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) Company. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may select a rate of payroll deduction from 1% to 10% of their eligible compensation subject to certain maximumpurchase limitations.

In fiscal year 2005, our ESPP was revised effective from the purchase period beginning February 1, 2005. Prior to the revision, the plan had an offeringperiod with a maximum duration of two years and consisted of four six-month purchase periods, and the price at which the common stock was purchased was85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or on the last day of that purchase period. Therevised ESPP offered one six-month offering period, and the price at which the common stock was purchased was 95% of the fair market value of our commonstock on the last day of the offering period. Also, we excluded all non-U.S. employees from the ESPP. The revised ESPP was deemed non-compensatory underthe provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Accordingly, there was no compensation cost recorded for our ESPP under SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal year 2006.

In fiscal year 2007, our ESPP was again revised effective from the purchase period beginning February 1, 2007. Under the current amended ESPP,participants are entitled to purchase shares at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of our common stock on either the first or last trading day of eachsix-month offering period. Also, the revised ESPP offers to certain international employees. Participants may contribute a maximum annual amount of $5,000and no contribution percentage changes are allowed during an offering period. The current amended ESPP is deemed compensatory and valued under theBlack-Scholes option pricing model at each offering period.

We issued approximately 0.4 million, 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares under our ESPP, representing $2.9 million, $2.0 million and $4.0 million inemployee contributions for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Shares are reserved under the 1996 Stock Plan for futurepurchases under the ESPP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

We started granting restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees in fiscal year 2006. Approximately $4.3 million and $0.7 million of employeestock-based compensation was recognized related to stock awards in fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our ESPP, as modified in fiscal year 2005, was deemed to be non-compensatory, and therefore, no stock-based compensation expense was recognizedrelated to our ESPP in fiscal year 2006. We revised our ESPP effective from the purchase period beginning February 1, 2007. The revised ESPP is compensatory,and we recognized $0.9 million ESPP related stock-based compensation expense in fiscal year 2007.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we presented unearned stock-based compensation as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Inaccordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), on December 1, 2005, we reclassified the remaining unamortized balance in deferred stock-basedcompensation to additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Assumptions for Estimating Fair Value of Stock-Based Awards

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fairvalue for stock-based awards including stock options and ESPP. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercisebehavior data and the use of a number of complex assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. For pro formadisclosure purposes under the SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, we also used the Black-Scholes model for determining the fair value. The following tablesummarizes the assumptions used to value options granted in the respective periods:

Year Ended November 30, 2007 2006 2005Stock Option grants:

Expected term of stock options (years) 4.4 - 4.6 4.3 - 4.6 3.0Risk-free interest rate 3.8 - 4.7% 4.5 - 5.0% 3.5 - 4.4%Volatility 39% 40 - 43% 52 - 64%Weighted-average grant-date fair value (per share) $ 3.92 $ 3.14 $ 3.06

Beginning December 1, 2005, we estimated the volatility of our stock using historical volatility, as well as the implied volatility in market-traded optionson our common stock in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107. We determined that a blend of implied volatility and historicalvolatility is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than using purely historical volatility. We will continue to monitorthese and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future stock option grants. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we had used ourhistorical stock price volatility in accordance with SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma information disclosed in our Notes to Consolidated FinancialStatements for prior periods.

The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Wederived the expected term assumption based on our historical settlement experience, while giving consideration to stock options that have life cycles less than thecontractual terms and vesting schedules in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we usedour historical settlement experience to derive the expected term for the purposes of pro forma information under SFAS No. 123, as disclosed in our Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements for the related periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options. The dividendyield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and wedo not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

As stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, is based on awardsultimately expected to vest, the amount has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant andrevised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on our historical experience.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is the grant date closing price of our common stock. Weexpense the cost of the restricted stock and restricted stock units ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse, and adjust for estimated forfeitures.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock purchase rights granted under our ESPP granted during fiscal year 2007 was $2.20 per right; we usedthe following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model: 0.5 year expected term, 5.0 to 5.2% risk-free interest rate and 32 to 34% volatility. The stocks purchaserights granted under the ESPP between February 1, 2005 and January 31, 2007, are deemed non-compensatory under the provisions of APB No. 25, SFASNo. 123 and SFAS No. 123(R). Accordingly, we did not estimate the fair value of our ESPP awards using any valuation model or assumptions, as there was nostock-based compensation expense recorded for our ESPP in fiscal years 2006 and 2005.

Our determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price, as well asassumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatilityover the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. In the future, as empirical evidence regarding these inputestimates is available to provide more directionally predictive results, we may change or refine our approach of deriving these input estimates. These changescould impact our fair value of stock options granted in the future. Changes in the fair value of the stock options could materially impact our operating results andfinancial position.

15. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Our comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of unrealized gains and losses onavailable-for-sale securities and cumulative translation adjustments.

As of November 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, cumulative translation adjustment included total accumulated tax effects of $(8.9) million, $(5.0) million and$0.8 million, respectively.

16. Minority Interest

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we established a joint venture in South Africa, TS Innovations Limited (“Innovations”), with a local South Africacorporation, to assist with our sales efforts as well as to provide consulting services and training to our customers in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. For the yearended November 30, 2007, Innovations had total assets of $2.4 million and total revenues of $3.5 million. As of November 30, 2007, we owned a 74.9% interestin the joint venture. Because of this majority interest, our Consolidated Financial Statements include the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows ofInnovations, net of intercompany charges. We therefore eliminated 25.1% of financial results that pertain to the minority interest; the eliminated amount wasreported as a separate line on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets.

U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided for on a cumulative total of $34.0 million of undistributed earnings for certainnon-U.S. subsidiaries. With the exception of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generallyconsidered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings inthe form of dividends or otherwise, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes net of available foreign tax credits associated with these earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

While we have not experienced and do not expect any impact to the effective tax rate for U.S. non-qualified stock option or restricted stock expense due tothe adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the effective tax rate has been and may be negatively impacted by foreign stock option expense that may not be deductible inthe foreign jurisdictions. Also, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the tax benefit of stock option deductions relating to incentive stock options be recorded in theperiod of disqualifying disposition. This could result in significant fluctuations in our effective tax rate between accounting periods.

The components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows (in thousands):

November 30, 2007 2006 Deferred tax assets:

Net operating loss carryforwards $ 18,720 $ 5,179 Reserves and accruals 21,212 18,875 Credit carryforwards 12,623 14,392 Depreciation and amortization 13,771 11,933 Unrealized losses on investments 5,774 5,759 Other 5,880 2,609

Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 20,450 39,190 Valuation allowance (9,051) (10,622)

Net deferred tax assets $ 11,399 $ 28,568

As of November 30, 2007, we believed that the amount of the deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet would ultimately be recovered. However,should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, our tax provision would increase in the period in which we determine that it is morelikely than not that we cannot recover our deferred tax assets. If we have to re-establish a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets it would resultin an increase of $30.3 million to income tax expense.

We have elected to track the portion of our federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards attributable to stock option benefits, in aseparate memo account pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). Therefore, these amounts are no longer included in our gross or net deferred tax assets. Pursuant to SFASNo. 123(R), footnote 82, the benefit of these net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will only be recorded to equity when they reduce cash taxes payable.As a result, we recorded a net change of $10.5 million in fiscal year 2007 in the memo account resulting from the utilization of net operating loss related to stockoption benefits. In fiscal year 2006, $185.2 million of the net change in valuation allowance of $208.7 million related to amounts accounted for in the memoaccount, $7.7 million related to deferred tax assets in acquired entities, the benefit of which was recorded to goodwill and the remaining $15.8 million resulted inan income tax benefit. Of the $15.8 million income tax benefit recognized in fiscal year 2006, $10.8 million was recorded in the second quarter and $4.8 million,including an adjustment of $2.2 million, in the fourth quarter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Our income taxes payable for federal purposes have been reduced by the tax benefits associated with the exercise of employee stock options during thefiscal year and utilization of net operating loss carryover applicable to both stock options and acquired entities. The benefits applicable to stock options werecredited directly to stockholders’ equity when realized and amounted to $19.5 million and $24.7 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were $397.2 million and $114.4 million,respectively, which expire through 2023. As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were $41.4 millionand $24.4 million, respectively. The federal tax credit carryforwards expire through 2027 and the state tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards being accounted for in the memo account were $313.8 million and $97.5million, respectively. As of November 30, 2007, our federal and state tax credit carryforwards being accounted for in the memo account were $38.1 million and$14.7 million, respectively.

In the event of a change in ownership, as defined under federal and state tax laws, our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject toannual limitations. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

18. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number ofshares of common stock outstanding during the period less shares of common stock subject to repurchase and nonvested stock awards. Diluted net income pershare is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential shares of common stockoutstanding during the period if their effect is dilutive. Certain potential dilutive securities were not included in computing net income per share because theireffect was anti-dilutive.

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the weighted-average shares used in the diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed proceeds calculation includes: (a) the actual proceeds to-be-received from the employee uponexercise, (b) the average unrecognized compensation cost during the period and (c) any tax benefits that will be credited upon exercise to additional paid incapital. We determine whether our windfall pool of available excess tax benefits is sufficient to absorb the shortfall. Currently, we have determined that we havesufficient windfall pool available.

Atos Origin

Bernard J. Bourigeaud, a director of TIBCO, served as Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Atos Origin, a leading international IT servicesprovider, until December 2007, one of our customers in fiscal year 2007. Total revenue generated by the Company from Atos Origin for products and servicesdelivered in the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007, was $1.0 million. TIBCO believes that the products and services provided to Atos Origin were on termsthat were determined at arms length, and such terms were similar to terms offered to other customers.

Reuters

We have commercial arrangements with affiliates of Reuters, one of our former stockholders. During fiscal year 2005, Reuters reduced its holdings of ourcommon stock such that as of November 30, 2005, Reuters owned less than 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Beginning fourth quarter of fiscalyear 2005, Reuters was no longer considered a related party.

20. Statement of ERISA Rights.

As a Covered Employee under the Plan, you have certain rights and protections under ERISA:

(a) You may examine (without charge) all Plan documents, including any amendments and copies of all documents filed with the U.S. Departmentof Labor, such as the Plan’s annual report (IRS Form 5500). These documents are available for your review in the Company’s Human ResourcesDepartment.

(b) You may obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. A reasonable chargemay be made for such copies.

In addition to creating rights for Covered Employees, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The peoplewho operate the Plan (called “fiduciaries”) have a duty to do so prudently and in the interests of you and the other Covered Employees. No one, including theCompany or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit under the Plan orexercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for a severance benefit is denied, in whole or in part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason forthe denial. You have the right to have the denial of your claim reviewed. (The claim review procedure is explained in Sections 10 and 11 above.)

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request materials and do not receive them within 30 days, youmay file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and to pay you up to $110 a day until youreceive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim which is denied orignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you mayseek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court.

In any case, the court will decide who will pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay thesecosts and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds that your claim is frivolous.

If you have any questions regarding the Plan, please contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rightsunder ERISA, you may contact the nearest area office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (formerly the Pension and Welfare BenefitsAdministration), U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits SecurityAdministration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rightsand responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

(1) Exercising the Option.

(a) U.S. Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Optionee may incur regular U.S. federal income tax liability upon exercise of an NQSO. The Optioneewill be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of theExercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will berequired to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to apercentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholdingamounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(b) U.S. Incentive Stock Option. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, the Optionee will have no regular U.S. federal income tax liability upon itsexercise, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price will betreated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income for U.S. federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to alternative minimum tax inthe year of exercise. In the event that the Optionee ceases to be an Employee but remains a Service Provider, any ISO of the Optionee that remainsunexercised shall cease to qualify as an ISO and will be treated for tax purposes as an NQSO on the date three (3) months and one (1) day following suchchange of status.

(b) U.S. Incentive Stock Option. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one year after exercise and two years after the grant date, any gainrealized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shareswithin one year after exercise or two years after the grant date, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable atordinary income rates) equal to the lesser of (A) the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares acquired on the date of exercise and theaggregate Exercise Price, or (B) the difference between the sale price of such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price. Any additional gain will be taxed ascapital gain, short-term or long-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

(c) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an ISOon or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company inwriting of such disposition.

In addition, the Optionee understands that this grant would not be made to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred toabove; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met forany reason, then any grant of Options shall be null and void.

The purchase of Shares under the Plan must be declared forstatistical purposes to the Spanish Dirección General de Política Comercial e Inversiones Exteriores (the “DGPCIE”), the Bureau for Commercial Policy andForeign Investments, which is a department of the Ministry of the Economy.
