DATAWATCH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datawatch Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 filed with the SEC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an on-going basis, that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns reserve, useful lives of property and equipment, and the valuation of net deferred tax assets, acquired intellectual property, other intangible assets and share-based awards.

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue allocated to software products, specified upgrades and enhancements is recognized upon delivery of the related product, upgrades or enhancements. Revenue is allocated by vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value to post-contract customer support (primarily maintenance) and is recognized ratably over the term of the support, and revenue allocated using VSOE to service elements (primarily training and consulting) is recognized as the services are performed. The residual method of revenue recognition is used for multi-element arrangements when the VSOE of the fair value does not exist for one of the delivered elements. Under the residual method, the arrangement fee is recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value of the undelivered elements, as supported by VSOE, is deferred and subsequently recognized as such items are delivered or completed and (2) the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount allocated to the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements.

The Company licenses its software products directly to end-users, through value added resellers and through distributors. Sales to distributors and resellers accounted for approximately 37% and 34%, respectively, of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and 32% and 31%, respectively, of total sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Revenue from the sale of all software products is generally recognized at the time of shipment, provided there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists and

there are no significant obligations remaining. All of the Company’s software product offerings are considered to be “off-the-shelf” as such term is customarily defined. The Company’s software products can be installed and used by customers on their own with little or no configuration required. Multi-user licenses marketed by the Company are sold as a right to use the number of licenses, and the license fee revenue is recognized upon delivery of all software required to satisfy the number of licenses sold. Upon delivery, the licensing fee is payable without further delivery obligations by the Company.

Datawatch software products are generally sold in multiple element arrangements which may include software licenses, professional services and post-contract customer support. In such multiple element arrangements, the Company applies the residual method in determining revenue to be allocated to the software license. In applying the residual method, the Company deducts from the sale proceeds the VSOE of fair value of the professional services and post-contract customer support in determining the residual fair value of the software license. The VSOE of fair value of the services and post-contract customer support is based on the amounts charged for these elements when sold separately. Professional services include implementation, integration, training and consulting services with revenue recognized as the services are performed. These services are generally delivered on a time and materials basis, are billed on a current basis as the work is performed, and generally do not involve modification or customization of the software or any unusual acceptance clauses or terms. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for the majority of its professional services using the bell-shaped curve method. Post-contract customer support is typically provided under a maintenance agreement which provides technical support and rights to unspecified software maintenance updates and bug fixes on a when-and-if available basis. Revenue from post-contract customer support services is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of support (generally one year). Such deferred amounts are recorded as part of deferred revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for the majority of its post-contract customer support based on stated renewal rates only if the rate is determined to be substantive and falls within the Company’s customary pricing practices. VSOE of fair value for post-contract customer support through the Company’s distribution channel was established using the bell-shaped curve method. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly.

The Company also licenses its enterprise software using a subscription model. At the time a customer enters into a binding agreement to purchase a subscription, the customer is invoiced for an initial 90 day service period and an account receivable and deferred revenue are recorded. Beginning on the date the software is installed at the customer site and available for use by the customer, and provided that all other criteria for revenue recognition are met, the deferred revenue amount is recognized ratably over the period the service is provided. The customer is then invoiced every 90 days and revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the subscription. The subscription arrangement includes software, maintenance and unspecified future upgrades on a when and if available basis including major version upgrades. The subscription renewal rate is the same as the initial subscription rate. Subscriptions can be cancelled by the customer at any time by providing 90 days prior written notice following the first year of the subscription term.

The Company’s software products are sold under warranty against certain defects in material and workmanship for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase. The Company also offers a 30 day money-back guarantee on its Monarch product sold directly to end-users. Additionally, the Company provides its distributors with stock-balancing rights. Revenue from the sale of software products to distributors and resellers is recognized at the time of shipment providing all other criteria for revenue recognition as stated above are met and (i) the distributor or reseller is unconditionally obligated to pay for the products, including no contingency as to product resale, (ii) the distributor or reseller has independent economic substance apart from the Company, (iii) the Company is not obligated for future performance to bring about product resale, and (iv) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s experience and history with its distributors and resellers allows for reasonable estimates of future returns. Among other things, estimates of potential future returns are made based on the inventory levels at, and the returns history with, the various distributors and resellers, which the Company monitors frequently.

Share-Based Compensation
 
All share-based awards, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at date of grant.

The Company recognizes the fair value of share-based awards over the requisite service period of the individual awards, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the Company’s share-based awards are accounted for as equity instruments and there have been no liability awards granted. See additional share-based compensation disclosure in Note 6 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Major Customers
 
The Company licenses its products and services to U.S. and non-U.S. distributors and other software resellers, as well as to end users, under customary credit terms. Three customers, Lifeboat Distribution, ASG and Unysis Belgium, individually accounted for the following percentages of total revenue and accounts receivable for the periods indicated:

* - Amounts represent less than 10% for indicated periods.
 
The Company licenses to Lifeboat Distribution under a distribution agreement which automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated. Other than these customers, no other customer constitutes a significant portion (more than 10%) of revenues or accounts receivable for the periods presented. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances are provided for anticipated doubtful accounts and sales returns based on management’s review of receivables, inventory and historical trends.

Capitalized Software Development Costs
 
The Company capitalizes certain software development costs as well as purchased software upon achieving technological feasibility of the related products. Software development costs incurred and software purchased prior to achieving technological feasibility are charged to engineering and product development expense as incurred. Commencing upon initial product release, capitalized costs are amortized to cost of software licenses using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the product (which approximates the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product), which is generally 12 to 24 months. The net amount of capitalized software development costs was approximately $244,000 and $30,000 at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company capitalized approximately $278,000 and $54,000 of software development costs related to new products in development during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Intangible Asset – Intellectual Property
 
On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired intellectual property which consisted primarily of the source code underlying its Monarch Professional and Datawatch Data Pump products for a purchase price of $8,541,000. Additionally, the Company capitalized approximately $75,000 in closing costs and adjustments related to the acquisition. The intellectual property assets are being amortized to cost of software licenses using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which is five years. Amortization expense related to the intellectual

property assets was $431,000 and $1,292,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization expense related to the intellectual property assets was $431,000 and $440,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012. The estimated future amortization expense related to the intellectual property is as follows (in thousands):

  $ 6,453  
 
Other Intangible Assets, Net
 
Other intangible assets consist of internally developed software, patents and customer lists acquired through business combinations. The values allocated to the majority of these intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and are recorded in cost of software licenses. The values allocated to customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. The values allocated to loan acquisition costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and are recorded in interest expense and other income (expense), net. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable and an impairment loss is recognized when it is probable that the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and operating loss carryforwards and credits. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the net deferred tax assets to amounts the Company believes are more likely than not to be realized.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Cash and Equivalents
 
Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, cash deposited with banks and highly liquid securities consisting of money market investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy. 

 
·

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Under this standard, an entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company adopted this standard in its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 by including a new separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 supersedes certain paragraphs in ASU 2011-05 which pertain to how, when and where reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance in its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.
 

Note 2 – Acquisition

 
On June 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement under which it has agreed to acquire Panopticon Software AB, a privately-held Swedish company specializing in the delivery of real-time data visualization solutions (“Panopticon”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company plans to acquire all outstanding shares of Panopticon in an all-stock transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which is expected to occur during its fourth fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013.

Note 4 – Financing Arrangements
 
Revolving Line of Credit
 
In connection with the acquisition of intellectual property disclosed in Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, on March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $2.0 million revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB. On March 30, 2012, the Company borrowed $1.5 million under this revolving credit facility. The Company repaid $600,000 under the line of credit in September 2012. The revolving line of credit under the SVB facility terminates on March 29, 2014. On that date, the principal amount of all advances then outstanding under the revolving line and all unpaid interest thereon will become due and payable. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving line accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, with the prime rate having a floor under the SVB agreement of 3.25%. The Company can borrow under the SVB revolving line of credit based on a formula percentage of its accounts receivable balance. Additionally, the SVB facility requires that the Company maintain certain net asset and net income ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Loan and Security Agreement at June 30, 2013. The Company’s obligations under the SVB facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than intellectual property. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2013 was $900,000.
 
Note Payable
 
Also in connection with the intellectual property acquisition, on March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Massachusetts Capital Resource Company (“MCRC”), the terms of which include a $4.0 million subordinated note and warrants for 185,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The subordinated note issued to MCRC has a maturity date of February 28, 2019, with interest due monthly on the unpaid principal amount of the note at the rate of 10% per annum in arrears. The subordinated note also contains interest rate premiums on any optional redemption of principal payments during the first three years of the note agreement. The Company is also required under the MCRC agreement to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement at June 30, 2013.

The warrants issued to MCRC are exercisable at any time prior to the later of the repayment in full of the MCRC note or February 28, 2019 at a purchase price per share of $11.54, which is equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 45 trading days prior to the issuance of the warrants on March 30, 2012. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject to adjustment in connection with stock splits and other events impacting the Company’s common stock generally, however, the warrants do not provide the holder with any anti-dilution protection.
 
The Company accounted for the borrowing under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement in accordance with the guidance prescribed in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 470-20, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants” (“ASC 470-20”). In accordance with ASC 470-20, the value of the stock purchase warrants is considered an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) which is required to be amortized over the life of the note as interest expense with a corresponding credit to note payable.  The fair value of the warrants on March 30, 2012, as determined under the Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) was approximately $1.1 million which is included in Additional Paid-in Capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013. The Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrants which included the following key assumptions: the contractual life of the warrants (7 years), stock price volatility (68.18%), risk-free interest rate (1.61%) and dividend yield (0%).
 
The unamortized debt discount at June 30, 2013 was $899,000 which will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the subordinated note which is seven years. Interest expense related to the warrants during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $39,000 and $117,000, respectively. Interest expense related to the warrants during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $39,000 and $40,000, respectively.
 
Note 5 – Income Taxes
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1,000 primarily related to adjustments to estimated federal alternative minimum taxes and estimated state taxes. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $2,000 in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions relative to foreign taxes net of these adjustments. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $9,000 and $75,000, respectively, related to estimated federal alternative minimum taxes, estimated state taxes and uncertain tax positions relative to foreign taxes.
 
Deferred Tax Assets
 
The Company’s deferred tax assets include net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits that expire at different times through and until 2031. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Factors such as future reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, changes in enacted tax rates and the period over which the Company’s deferred tax assets will be recoverable are considered in making these determinations. Management does not believe the deferred tax

assets are more likely than not to be realized and a full valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. 
 
Provision for Uncertain Tax Positions
 
At September 30, 2012, the Company had a cumulative tax liability of $200,000 related to foreign tax exposure that could result in cash payments, of which approximately $6,000 and $19,000, respectively, were recorded during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012. The Company increased its tax liability by $6,000 during each of the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company released a portion of its reserve for uncertain tax positions and recorded a benefit of $4,000. The Company does not expect its tax liability to change significantly during the next twelve months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. To date, the Company has not accrued any amounts for interest and penalties associated with this liability as such amounts have been de minimis.
 
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (before consideration of any valuation allowance) represent differences between tax positions taken by the Company in its various consolidated and separate worldwide tax returns and the benefits recognized and measured for uncertain tax positions. This amount also represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods. The change in the unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such jurisdictions as the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Australia and the United States, and as a result, files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 through September 30, 2012 are generally still open to examination in the jurisdictions listed above.
 
Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity
 
Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $760,000 and $227,000, respectively, and $1,922,000 and $560,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as included in the following expense categories:

The Company’s stock compensation plans provide for the granting of restricted stock units and either incentive or non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors. Options and restricted stock units are subject to terms and conditions determined by the Compensation and Stock Committee of the Board of Directors. Options generally vest over a three year period beginning three months from the date of grant and expire either seven or ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units vest annually over a three year period.

Stock Options
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options on the date of grant. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plans for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $7.61 per share. No options were granted under the stock option plans for the three or nine months ended June 30, 2012. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $51,000 and $61,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $612,000 and $670,000, respectively. Total cash received from option exercises during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $9,000 and $142,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, there was $648,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years.
 
Many of the assumptions used in the determination of share-based compensation expense are judgmental and highly volatile. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in the nine months ended June 30, 2013:
       
   
2013
 
Expected life
 
5 Years
 
Expected volatility
    72.95 %
Weighted-average volatility
    72.95 %
Risk-free interest rate
    0.71 %
Dividend yield
    0.0 %
 
The expected option life is based on historical trends and data. With regard to the expected option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants and models the pattern of aggregate exercises. Patterns are determined on specific criteria of the aggregate pool of optionees including the reaction to vesting, realizable value and short-time-to-maturity effect. The Company uses an expected stock-price volatility assumption that is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock which are obtained from public data sources. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the historical U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bond rate with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses a dividend yield of zero which is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Based on the Company’s historical voluntary turnover rates, an annualized estimated forfeiture rate of 10% has been used in calculating the estimated cost. Additional expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

Restricted Stock Units
 
The Company periodically grants awards of restricted stock units (“RSU”) to each of its non-employee directors and some of its management team and employees on a discretionary basis pursuant to its stock compensation plans. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive, at the end of each vesting period, a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The total number of RSUs unvested at June 30, 2013 was 660,630. Each RSU vests at the rate of 33.33% on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date with final vesting of the most recent grants scheduled to occur in May 2016. Included in the total number of RSUs unvested at June 30, 2013 are certain RSUs that are subject to a further vesting condition that the Company’s common stock must trade at a price greater than the following market prices per share on a national securities exchange for a period of twenty consecutive days on or prior to certain anniversaries of the grant date as follows:

The Company’s common stock has satisfied both the $10 per share market price vesting condition and the $17.50 per share market price vesting condition for the grants denoted with an asterisk above totaling 404,957 RSUs. For all of the RSUs containing a market price vesting condition, the Company performed fair value analysis using the Monte Carlo option-pricing model. The fair value related to the RSUs was calculated based primarily on the average stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and is being amortized evenly on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period to sales and marketing, engineering and product development and general and administrative expense. The fair values of the RSUs granted in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were approximately $4,619,795 (or $14.77 weighted-average fair value per share) and $1,198,000 (or $6.77 weighted-average fair value per share). The Company recorded compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $683,000 and $185,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,765,000 and $431,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in the total share-based compensation expense disclosed above. As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $7.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.31 years.

Note 7 - Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the impact, when dilutive, of the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 is the same as basic net loss per share as the potentially dilutive securities are all anti-dilutive.
 
There were no potentially dilutive common stock options for either the three or nine months ended June 30, 2013 or the three or nine months ended June 30, 2012. Potentially dilutive restricted stock units aggregating 228,336 shares and 225,743 shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive restricted stock units aggregating 25,599 shares and 9,560 shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive warrants for the three or nine months ended June 30, 2013. There were no potentially dilutive warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Potentially dilutive warrants aggregating 62,792 shares for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
 
Prior to the acquisition of intellectual property on March 30, 2012, as disclosed in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company was obligated to pay royalties ranging from 7% to 50% on revenue generated by the sale of certain licensed software products. Additionally, the Company pays royalties under arrangements with vendors related to sales of its Datawatch Report Manager on Demand and Datawatch Dashboards products. Royalty expense included in cost of software licenses was approximately $35,000 and $21,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and $102,000 and $1,116,000, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company is not obligated to pay any minimum amounts for royalties. As a result of the acquisition of the intellectual property, the Company is no longer required to pay royalties related to its Monarch Professional and Datawatch Data Pump products.
 
From time to time, the Company is subject to claims and may be party to actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is not party to any litigation that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Note 9 - Segment Information

The increase in cost of software licenses of $40,000, or approximately 8%, is primarily due to increased software amortization costs pertaining to development costs capitalized in fiscal year 2013 as well as increased royalty costs related to the Company’s Report Manager on Demand product.
 
The decrease in cost of maintenance and services of $66,000, or approximately 10%, is primarily due to lower commissions due to decreased consulting sales and decreased other employee-related costs as compared to the same period last year.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses of $1,154,000, or approximately 36%, is due to higher wages and employee-related costs, including share-based compensation, attributable to increased headcount and increased promotional and lead generation costs as compared to the same period last year. These increases reflect the Company’s significant investment in a new sales and marketing team during the last several quarters to accelerate revenue generation. The Company does not expect increases of this magnitude to continue beyond fiscal year 2013.

The increase in engineering and product development expenses of $29,000, or approximately 4%, is primarily attributable to higher wages and other employee-related costs due to increased headcount offset by lower external consulting costs.

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $749,000, or 58%, is primarily attributable to acquisition costs incurred during the quarter in connection with the Company’s planned acquisition of a privately-held software company as well as higher external consulting costs and higher share-based compensation costs as compared to the same period last year. In June 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which it has agreed to acquire Panopticon Software AB (“Panopticon”), a privately-held Swedish company specializing in the delivery of real-time data visualization solutions. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company plans to acquire all outstanding shares of Panopticon in an all-stock transaction. Completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which is expected to occur during its fourth fiscal quarter of 2013. Total acquisition-related costs in the three months ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $563,000.

Interest expense and other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $148,000 which included $158,000 of interest expense related to both the Company’s $4.0 million subordinated note with a private investment company and borrowings under a $2.0 million revolving credit facility with a bank, offset by a gain on foreign currency transactions of $10,000. Both of these debt financings were issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the intellectual property underlying its Monarch Professional and Datawatch Data Pump product offerings. Interest expense and other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $176,000, which included $165,000 of interest expense related to the Company’s debt financings and a loss on foreign currency transactions of approximately $11,000.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,000 as compared to income tax expense of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The income tax benefit is primarily related to adjustments to estimated federal alternative minimum taxes offset by minimum state taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 includes $10,000 related to estimated federal alternative minimum taxes and a $6,000 provision for uncertain tax positions relative to foreign taxes, offset by $7,000 in estimated state tax adjustments. At June 30, 2013, the Company had U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards of approximately $7.1 million which expire at various dates through and until 2031 as well as significant state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $666,000 as compared to net income of $548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

The decrease in cost of software licenses of $141,000, or approximately 8%, is primarily due to a decrease in royalty expense attributable to the acquisition of intellectual property underlying the Company’s Monarch Professional and Datawatch Data Pump products on March 30, 2012 which was partially offset by higher software amortization costs. As a result of this acquisition, the Company is no longer incurring royalty expense related to these products to cost of software licenses but is amortizing the purchase price of the intellectual property to cost of software licenses.

The decrease in cost of maintenance and services of $322,000, or approximately 16%, is primarily due to lower commissions resulting from decreased consulting sales and lower travel expenses and other employee-related costs.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses of $3,350,000, or approximately 37%, is attributable to higher wages and employee-related costs, including share-based compensation, due to increased headcount, higher travel expenses and increased consulting, promotional and lead generation costs as compared to the same period last

year. These increases reflect the Company’s significant investment in a new sales and marketing team during the last several quarters to accelerate revenue generation. The Company does not expect increases of this magnitude to continue beyond fiscal year 2013.

The increase in engineering and product development expenses of $313,000, or approximately 15%, is primarily due to higher wages and other employee-related costs offset by lower consulting costs as compared to the same period last year.

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1,006,000, or approximately 29%, is primarily attributable to acquisition costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the Company’s planned acquisition of a privately-held software company as well as higher external consulting costs and higher share-based compensation costs as compared to the same period last year. In June 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which it has agreed to acquire Panopticon Software AB (“Panopticon”), a privately-held Swedish company specializing in the delivery of real-time data visualization solutions. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company plans to acquire all outstanding shares of Panopticon in an all-stock transaction. Completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which is expected to occur during its fourth fiscal quarter of 2013.

The foreign currency loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to the settlement of intercompany account balances due to the dissolution of one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and the repatriation of international funds to the US required by the Company’s line of credit facility which was entered into on March 30, 2012. Additionally, the foreign currency loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was partially due to the repayment of intercompany loans between the Australian and UK subsidiaries.

Prior to the acquisition of intellectual property on March 30, 2012, as disclosed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company was obligated to pay royalties ranging from 7% to 50% on revenue generated by the sale of certain licensed software products. Additionally, the Company pays royalties under arrangements with vendors related to sales of its Datawatch Report Manager on Demand and Datawatch Dashboards products. Royalty expense included in cost of software licenses was approximately $35,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $102,000 and $1,116,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company is not obligated to pay any minimum amounts for royalties. As a result of the acquisition of the intellectual property, the Company is no longer required to pay royalties related to its Monarch Professional and Datawatch Data Pump products.

The Company’s software products are sold under warranty against certain defects in material and workmanship for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase. If necessary, the Company would provide for the estimated cost of warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has never incurred significant expense under its product or service warranties. As a result, the Company believes its exposure related to these warranty agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for warranty claims as of June 30, 2013.

The Company enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company generally agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally its customers, in connection with any patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes its exposure related to these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these potential obligations as of June 30, 2013.

Certain of the Company’s agreements also provide for the performance of services at customer sites. These agreements may contain indemnification clauses, whereby the Company will indemnify the customer from any and all damages, losses, judgments, costs and expenses for acts of its employees or subcontractors resulting in bodily injury or property damage. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has general and umbrella insurance policies that would enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes its exposure related to these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these potential obligations as of June 30, 2013.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements with its directors and certain officers whereby the Company will indemnify them for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the director indemnification period is for the later of ten years after the date that the director ceases to serve in such capacity or the final termination of proceedings against the director as outlined in the indemnification agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited;

however, the Company’s director and officer insurance policy would enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes its exposure related to these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these potential obligations as of June 30, 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes that its current cash balances and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for working capital and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $10,424,000 of cash and equivalents, an increase of $1,702,000 from September 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had working capital of approximately $5,627,000 as compared to $4,041,000 at September 30, 2012. The Company expects cash flows from operations to remain positive as it anticipates profitability in the future. However, if the Company’s cash flow from operations were to decline significantly, it may need to consider reductions to its operating expenses. The Company does not anticipate additional cash requirements to fund growth or the acquisition of additional complementary technology or businesses. However, if in the future, such expenditures are anticipated or required, the Company may seek additional financing by issuing equity or obtaining credit facilities to fund such requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to issue additional equity or obtain a new or expanded credit facility at attractive prices or rates, or at all.

The Company had a net loss of approximately $1,514,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to net income of approximately $1,311,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $2,053,000 and $2,492,000, respectively, of cash was provided by the Company’s operations. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the main source of cash from operations was net loss adjusted for share-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 of $392,000 is primarily related to capitalized software development costs and the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 of $142,000 is related to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with a private investment company. The terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement include a $4.0 million subordinated note and warrants for 185,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The subordinated note has a maturity date of February 28, 2019, with interest due monthly on the unpaid principal amount of the note at the rate of 10% per annum in arrears. Additionally, beginning on March 31, 2014 and on the last day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, the Company will make principal payments totaling $66,667. The Company is required under this agreement to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement.

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with a bank which established a $2.0 million revolving line of credit facility and borrowed $1.5 million under the Loan Agreement on that date. The Company repaid $600,000 under the line of credit in September 2012. The Loan Agreement terminates on March 29, 2014. On that date, the principal amount of all advances under the revolving line and all unpaid interest thereon will become due and payable. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving line accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, with the prime rate having a floor of 3.25%. The Company can borrow under the revolving line of credit based on a formula percentage of its accounts receivable balance. Additionally, the Loan Agreement requires that the Company maintain certain net asset and net income ratios. The Company’s obligations under the line of credit facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than intellectual property.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Agreement.

Management believes that the Company’s current operations have not been materially impacted by the effects of inflation.
 
Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments
 
At June 30, 2013, the Company did not participate in or hold any derivative financial instruments or commodity instruments. The Company holds no investment securities that possess significant market risk.

Primary Market Risk Exposures
 
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company’s exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been and is expected to continue to be modest due to the fact that the operations of its international subsidiaries are almost exclusively conducted in their respective local currencies, and dollar advances to the Company’s international subsidiaries, if any, are usually considered to be of a long-term investment nature. Accordingly, the majority of currency movements are reflected in the Company’s other comprehensive income (loss). There are, however, certain situations where the Company will invoice customers in currencies other than its own. Such gains or losses from operating activity, whether realized or unrealized, are reflected in interest expense and other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Currently, the Company does not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.
 
Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of the Company’s management, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a−15(e) and 15d−15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings within the required time period.
 
 (b) Changes in Internal Controls.
 
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.
