NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Table amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “company”). Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity and cost method, as appropriate, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. The company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, 2008 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008.

The unaudited interim financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, as well as the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared by the company without audit. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

The company experiences a disproportionately large percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of its fiscal quarters. In addition, the company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior periods condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily to reflect the results of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business as discontinued operations (see note 4).


2.		Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A detailed description of the company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes in the company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein other than the company’s accounting for income tax uncertainties, as discussed below.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“Statement 141(R)”). Statement 141(R) significantly changes the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions. Statement 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, or fiscal 2010 for the company. The company is currently evaluating the impact that Statement 141(R) will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Accounting and Reporting for Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“Statement 160”). Statement 160 clarifies the classification of noncontrolling interests in consolidated statements of financial position and the accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and holders of such noncontrolling interests. Statement 160 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, or fiscal 2010 for the company. The company is currently evaluating the impact that Statement 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“Statement 159”). Statement 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses for that item will be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Statement 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. Statement 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or fiscal 2009 for the company. The company is currently evaluating the impact that Statement 159 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. Statement 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS No. 123R and related interpretations and pronouncements that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or fiscal 2009 for the company. The company is currently evaluating the impact that Statement 157 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Effective April 1, 2007, the company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the company recognized approximately $2.9 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the April 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. At April 1, 2007 (the adoption date of FIN 48), the company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $6.6 million. Approximately $6.2 million of this, if recognized, would favorably affect the company’s effective tax rate.

In connection with business acquisitions made during the current year, the company has assumed liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.6 million.

Approximately $2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized during the nine months ended December 31, 2007, principally for effective settlement with tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.

The company recognizes interest accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The company recognized $45,000 and $80,000 of interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007, respectively. The company accrued approximately $1.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2007.

The company anticipates the completion of various state income tax audits in the next 12 months which could reduce the accrual for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.3 million. The company believes that, other than the changes noted above, it is impractical to determine the positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total of uncertain tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

The company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for 2005 and 2006. The company is also being audited by multiple state taxing jurisdictions. In material jurisdictions, the company has tax years open back to and including 1998.


3.		Recent Acquisitions

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, the company allocates the cost of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

2008 Acquisitions

Innovative Systems Design, Inc.

On July 2, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of Innovative Systems Design, Inc. (“Innovativ”), the largest U.S. commercial reseller of Sun Microsystems servers and storage products. Accordingly, the results of operations for Innovativ have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from that date forward. Innovativ is an integrator and solution provider of servers, enterprise storage management products and professional services. The acquisition of Innovativ establishes a new and significant relationship between Sun Microsystems and the company. Innovativ was acquired for a total cost of $108.6 million. Additionally, the company will pay an earn-out of two dollars for every dollar of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, greater than $50.0 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after consummation of the acquisition. The earn-out will be limited to a maximum payout of $90.0 million.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, management preliminarily assigned $57.5 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $12.5 million to non-compete agreements, $15.0 million to customer relationships, and $30.0 million to supplier relationships. Management expects to amortize the identified intangible assets over useful lives ranging from five to twenty years. The cumulative amortization expense of $3.1 million relating to the identified intangible assets from the acquisition date through December 31, 2007 was recognized during the third quarter of 2008. Management is still in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation, including the completion of its evaluation of identified intangible assets. Accordingly, allocation of the acquisition cost is subject to modification in the future. Management expects to be complete with the allocation of the acquisition cost within one year of the date of acquisition. In subsequent periods, the nature and amount of any material adjustments made to the initial allocation of the purchase price will be disclosed.

Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $34.6 million has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the Innovativ acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

InfoGenesis

On June 18, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of IG Management Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, InfoGenesis and InfoGenesis Asia Limited (collectively, “InfoGenesis”), an independent software vendor and solution provider to the hospitality market. InfoGenesis offers enterprise-class point-of-sale solutions that provide end users a highly intuitive, secure and easy way to process customer transactions across multiple departments or locations, including comprehensive corporate and store reporting. InfoGenesis has a significant presence in casinos, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, stadiums and foodservice. The acquisition will provide the company a complementary offering that will extend its reach into new segments of the hospitality market, broaden its customer base and increase its software application offerings. InfoGenesis was acquired for a total acquisition cost of $90.7 million.

Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $75.1 million has been assigned to goodwill. InfoGenesis had intangible assets with a net book value of $18.3 million as of the acquisition date, which were included in the acquired net assets to determine goodwill. Management is in the process of evaluating the acquired intangible assets, including an evaluation of additional intangible assets not previously recognized by InfoGenesis, and determining the appropriate fair value. Management expects to complete this analysis within one year of the date of acquisition. Accordingly, allocation of the acquisition cost is subject to modification in the future. In subsequent periods, the nature and amount of any material adjustments made to the initial allocation of the purchase price will be disclosed. Goodwill resulting from the InfoGenesis acquisition will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Disclosure of Financial Information

The following table summarizes the company’s unaudited consolidated results of operations as if the InfoGenesis and Innovativ acquisitions occurred on April 1:

Stack Computer, Inc.

On April 2, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of Stack Computer, Inc. (“Stack”). Stack’s customers include leading corporations in the financial services, healthcare and manufacturing industries. Stack also operates a highly sophisticated solution center, which is used to emulate customer IT environments, train staff and evaluate technology. The acquisition of Stack strategically provides the company with product solutions and services offerings that significantly enhance its existing storage and professional services business. Stack was acquired for a total acquisition cost of $26.9 million.

which will be amortized over five years using the straight-line amortization method; $1.3 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized over five years using an accelerated amortization method; and $8.9 million to supplier relationships, which will be amortized over ten years using an accelerated amortization method. The cumulative amortization expense of $1.3 million relating to the identified intangible assets from the acquisition date through December 31, 2007 was recognized during the third quarter of 2008. Management is still in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation, which it expects to complete by year-end. In subsequent periods, the nature and amount of any material adjustments made to the initial allocation of the purchase price will be disclosed.

Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, approximately $12.6 million has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the Stack acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

2007 Acquisition

Visual One Systems Corporation

On January 23, 2007, the company acquired all the shares of Visual One Systems Corporation (“Visual One Systems”), a leading developer and marketer of Microsoft^{^®}Windows^®-based software for the hospitality industry. The acquisition provides Agilysys additional expertise around the development, marketing and sale of software applications for the hospitality industry, including property management, condominium, golf course, spa, point-of-sale, and sales and catering management applications. Visual One Systems customers include well-known North American and international full-service hotels, resorts, conference centers and condominiums of all sizes. The aggregate acquisition cost was $14.3 million.

During the second quarter of 2008, management assigned $4.9 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $3.8 million to developed technology, which will be amortized over six years using the straight-line method; $0.6 million to non-compete agreements, which will be amortized over eight years using the straight-line amortization method; and $0.5 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized over five years using an accelerated amortization method. Amortization expense of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007, respectively, has been recognized by the company relating to the identified intangible assets.

Based on management’s allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, approximately $7.5 million has been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill resulting from the Visual One Systems acquisition will not be deductible for income tax purposes.


4.		Discontinued Operations

Sale of Assets and Operations of KeyLink Systems Distribution Business

On March 31, 2007, the company sold the assets and operations of its KeyLink Systems Distribution Business (“KSG”) for $485.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. During the second quarter, the final working capital adjustment of $10.8 million was settled and paid. Through the sale of KSG, the company exited all distribution-related businesses and now sells solely directly to end-user customers. By monetizing the value of KSG, the company significantly increased its financial flexibility and intends to redeploy the proceeds to accelerate the growth of its ongoing business both organically and through acquisition. The sale of KSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of KSG have been reported as a component of discontinued operations.

The income from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 includes KSG net sales of $433.5 million, pre-tax income of $30.4 million and net income of $17.4 million. The income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 includes KSG net sales of $1.0 billion, pre-tax income of $61.1 million and net income of $37.2 million.

Income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 consists primarily of the settlement of obligations and contingencies of KSG that existed as of the date the assets and operations of KSG were sold.


5.		Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income considers the effects of additional economic events that are not required to be recorded in determining net income, but rather are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The following table illustrates the components of the company’s comprehensive income:

6.		Restructuring Charges

2007 Restructuring Activity

During 2007, the company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.5 million for one-time termination benefits resulting from a workforce reduction that was executed in connection with the sale of KSG. The workforce reduction was comprised mainly of corporate personnel. Payment of the one-time termination benefits are expected to be substantially complete in 2008.

2006 Restructuring Activity

During 2006, the company recorded restructuring charges of $4.2 million to consolidate a portion of its operations in order to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. Costs incurred in connection with the restructuring comprised one-time termination benefits and other associated costs resulting from workforce reductions as well as facilities costs relating to the exit of certain leased facilities. Costs of $2.5 million were incurred to reduce the workforce of KSG, professional services business and to execute a senior management realignment and consolidation of responsibilities. Facilities costs of $1.7 million represented the present value of qualifying exit costs, offset by an estimate for future sublease income.

Approximately $18,000 is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2008 for ongoing facility obligations. Such facility obligations are expected to continue through 2010.

Reconciliation of Restructuring Liabilities

Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liabilities which are classified as current accrued liabilities and other long term liabilities:

7.		Stock Based Compensation

The company has a stock incentive plan. Under the plan, the company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance shares for up to 3.2 million shares of common stock. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares that may be granted under the plan is 1.6 million. For stock option awards, the exercise price must be set at least equal to the market price of the company’s stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of option awards is 10 years from the date of grant. Stock option awards vest over a period established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with, or independently from, a stock option granted under the plan. Stock appreciation rights, granted in connection with a stock option, are exercisable only to the extent that the stock option to which it relates is exercisable and the stock appreciation rights terminate upon the termination or exercise of the related stock option. Restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price that may be below their fair market value, but which are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance share awards may be granted, where the right to receive shares in the future is conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies. The company generally issues authorized but unissued shares to satisfy share option exercises.

As of December 31, 2007, there were no stock appreciation rights or restricted share units awarded from the plan.

Stock Options

Compensation expense charged to operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 relating to stock options was $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $2.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 11 months.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 for stock options awarded by the company under the stock incentive plan and prior plans.


				Weighted

Exercisable at December 31, 2007		2,516,306		$	13.06

The fair market value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes method. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value of the stock option grant during the nine months ended December 31, 2007:


Dividend yield		0.7	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.9	%
Expected life	6.0 years
Expected volatility		43.8	%

The dividend yield reflects the company’s historical dividend yield on the date of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period equals the option’s expected term. The expected term reflects historical exercise patterns. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the company’s common stock. The fair market value of options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $10.27.

The following table summarizes the status of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007.

Non-vested Shares

Compensation expense related to non-vested share awards is recognized over the restriction period. Compensation expense charged to operations for non-vested share awards was $1.3 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, there was $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 21 months.

The following table summarizes non-vested share activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 for restricted shares awarded by the company under the stock incentive plan and prior plans.


Outstanding at April 1, 2007	18,750
Granted	108,000
Vested	(38,250	)
Forfeited	—

Outstanding at December 31, 2007	88,500

The fair market value of non-vested shares is determined based on the closing price of the company’s shares on the grant date.

Performance Shares

Compensation expense charged to operations for performance share awards was $0.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, there was $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 27 months.

The following table summarizes performance share activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2007:


Outstanding at April 1, 2007			—
Granted			152,000
Vested			—
Forfeited			—

Outstanding at December 31, 2007			152,000

The company granted shares to certain executives of the company, the vesting of which is contingent upon meeting various company-wide performance goals. The performance shares contingently vest over three years. The fair value of the performance share grant is determined based on the closing price of the company’s shares on the grant date and assumes that performance goals will be met. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost will be recognized and any compensation cost previously recognized during the vesting period will be reversed.


8.		Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is based on the company’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The tax effect of discrete items is recognized in the period in which they occur as an adjustment to the income tax provision rather than included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

The company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations are as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	December 31						December 31
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Effective income tax rate		66.4	%		20.6	%		56.7	%		22.6	%

The effective income tax rates (expense and benefit) for continuing operations differ from the statutory rate principally because of the effects of equity in undistributed earnings and losses of an equity investee, limitations on deductibility for meals and entertainment costs, and compensation associated with incentive stock option awards.

The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 include tax benefits of $0.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits associated with the effective settlement with tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.


9.		Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 31				December 31
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Numerator:
Income (loss) from continuing operations — basic and diluted	$	1,074	$	2,537	$	5,155	$	(5,055	)

Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding — basic		25,760		30,592		29,477		30,561
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and unvested restricted stock		353		476		633		—

Weighted average shares outstanding — diluted		26,113		31,068		30,110		30,561

Earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations
Basic and diluted	$	0.04	$	0.08	$	0.17	$	(0.17	)

For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, options on 0.9 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, of common stock were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, options on 0.5 million and 2.9 million shares, respectively, of common stock were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive.

See Note 13 for a discussion of the company’s repurchase of common shares, which will continue to have an impact on weighted average shares outstanding in future periods.


10.		Contingencies

The company is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. The company provides for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the company’s future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company.


11.		Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 are as follows:


Balance at April 1, 2007	$	93,197
Goodwill acquired — Innovativ		34,636
Goodwill acquired — InfoGenesis		75,141
Goodwill acquired — Stack		12,555

Customer relationships are being amortized over estimated useful lives between four and ten years; non-competition agreements are being amortized over estimated useful lives between four and eight years; developed technology are being amortized over estimated useful lives between three and eight years; patented technology was amortized over an estimated useful life of three years; supplier relationships are being amortized over estimated useful lives between ten and twenty years.

Amortization expense relating to intangible assets for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $8.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense relating to intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal year 2008 and each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:


	Amount
Year ending March 31
2008 (remaining three months)	$	3,400
2009		12,500
2010		10,500

2012		9,300
2013		6,900

Total estimated amortization expense	$	52,600


12.		Investments

The following table summarizes the company’s investments in affiliated companies at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006:


	December 31		March 31
	2007		2007
Magirus AG	$	6,039	$	7,788
Other non-marketable equity securities		—		3,443

Total	$	6,039	$	11,231

The other non-marketable equity securities consisted of capital stock in a privately held company where a market value was not readily available and the company did not exercise significant influence over its operating and financial policies. As such, the investment was stated at cost. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the investment was redeemed by the affiliated company for $4.8 million in cash, resulting in a $1.4 million gain on redemption of the investment. The gain was classified within “other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.


13.		Capital Stock

In August 2007, in fulfillment of the company’s previously disclosed intention to return capital to shareholders, the company announced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer for up to 6,000,000 of the company’s common shares. On September 19, 2007, the company accepted for purchase 4,653,287 of the company’s common shares at a purchase price of $18.50 per share, for a total cost of approximately $86.1 million, excluding related transaction costs. The tender offer was funded through cash on hand. The company uses the par value method to account for treasury stock. Accordingly, the treasury stock account is charged only for the aggregate stated value of the shares reacquired, or $0.30 per share. The capital in excess of stated value is charged for the difference between cost and stated value.

In September 2007, the company entered into a written trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provided for the purchase of up to 2,000,000 of the company’s common shares. In December 2007, the company announced it had completed the repurchase of the shares on the open market for a total cost of $30.4 million, excluding related transaction costs. Also in December 2007, the company entered into an additional Rule 10b5-1 plan that provided for the purchase of up to an additional 2,500,000 of the company’s common shares. As of January 25, 2008, 1,793,854 common shares have been repurchased for total cost of approximately $26.1 million under the plan, excluding related transaction costs. The company anticipates that the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be in place through the completion of the repurchase of all of the shares covered under the plan or October 31, 2008, whichever comes earlier.


Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Agilysys, Inc.’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this document as well as the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007. Information set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this filing for additional information concerning these items. Table amounts are in thousands.

Overview

Agilysys, Inc. (“Agilysys” or the “company”) is a leading provider of innovative IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers, with special expertise in select markets, including retail and hospitality. The company uses technology—including hardware, software and services—to help customers resolve their most complicated IT needs. The company possesses expertise in enterprise architecture and high availability, infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, and business continuity, and provides industry-specific software, services and expertise to the retail and hospitality markets. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, with additional sales offices in the United Kingdom and China.

As disclosed in previous filings, the company sold its KeyLink Systems Distribution business (“KSG”) in March 2007 and now operates solely as an IT solutions provider. The following long-term goals were established by the company with the divestiture of KSG:

•		Grow sales to $1 billion in two years and to $1.5 billion in three years. Much of the growth will come from acquisitions.

•		Target gross margin in excess of 20% and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 6% within three years.

•		While in the near term return on invested capital will be diluted due to acquisitions and legacy costs, the company continues to target long-term return on invested capital of 15%.

The company continued to make progress towards these long term goals during the three month period ended December 31, 2007. We experienced solid demand across our base business and our newly acquired businesses, with base business net sales increasing 11.8% year-over-year and newly acquired businesses contributing $80.7 million of incremental sales during the current period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales remained relatively consistent year-over-year at 23.1%, which was slightly lower than our expected annual margins, but consistent with the changes in our customer and product mix for the quarter.

For financial reporting purposes, the prior period operating results of KSG have been classified as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the discussion and analysis presented below, including the comparison to prior periods, reflects the continuing business of Agilysys.

The following discussion of the company’s results of operations and financial condition is intended to provide information that will assist in understanding the company’s financial statements, including key changes in financial statement components and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

Net Sales. The $98.6 million increase in net sales was principally due to incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, which accounted for $80.7 million, or 81.8%, of the increase. In particular, sales resulting from the acquisition of Innovativ accounted for $61.9 million of the $80.7 million incremental sales achieved during the quarter. The acquisition of Innovativ expanded the company’s IT solutions offerings to provide for the sale of Sun Microsystems server and storage products, which were not offered by the company prior to the Innovativ acquisition. The balance of the $80.7 million incremental sales resulted from the company’s recent acquisitions of InfoGenesis, Stack, and Visual One Systems.

Aside from the $80.7 million incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, net sales from the company’s existing business increased $17.9 million, or 11.8%, compared with last year. The year-over-year increase in existing business net sales was principally due to higher volume of software sales.

Sales by product category were as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Increase
	December 31				(Decrease)
	2007		2006		$		%
Hardware	$	189,273	$	119,962	$	69,311		57.8	%
Software		25,497		11,616		13,881		119.5
Services		35,280		19,900		15,380		77.3

Total	$	250,050	$	151,478	$	98,572		65.1	%

Of the $69.3 million increase in hardware sales, $63.4 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. Hardware sales of Sun Microsystems products resulting from the company’s acquisition of Innovativ accounted for approximately 89.1% of the $63.4 million incremental sales.

Aside from the $63.4 million incremental hardware sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, hardware sales from the company’s existing business increased $5.9 million, or 4.9%, compared with last year. The increase in hardware sales from the company’s existing business was mainly due to higher sales of midrange server technology.

Of the $13.9 million increase in software sales, $5.9 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. The remaining $8.0 million increase in software sales was driven by higher sales of remarketed software offerings from the company’s existing business.

Of the $15.4 million increase in service revenue, $11.4 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. The remaining $4.0 million was driven by higher sales of proprietary services to the hospitality and retail industries.

The company generally experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year 2008.

Gross Margin. The $22.1 million increase in gross margin was due to the corresponding increase in net sales as gross margin percentage remained relatively consistent year-over-year. The slight decline in gross margin percentage to 23.1% compared with 23.4% in the prior year was due to a select few significant sales at lower margins. Given the current size of the business, individual orders can materially move sales and gross margin. Gross margins can vary depending on the customer, mix of products, related supplier programs and services associated with an order. Also, the increased size of the company’s software business may drive gross margin variability depending on the timing of software sales. As a result, changes in customer and product mix may cause gross margins to vary from quarter to quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $22.2 million increase in SG&A expenses was principally due to incremental operating expenses from the company’s recent acquisitions, which accounted for $19.1 million, or 86.0%, of the increase.

Other Expenses (Income)


	Three Months Ended						Favorable
	December 31						(Unfavorable)
	2007			2006			$			%
Other expenses (income)
Other expense, net	$	998		$	328		$	(670	)		(204.3	)%
Interest income		(1,620	)		(1,104	)		516			46.7
Interest expense		255			126			(129	)		(102.4	)

Total other expenses (income)	$	(367	)	$	(650	)	$	(283	)		(43.5	)%

Other expense, net. The 204.3% unfavorable change in other expense, net was principally driven by the year-over-year decline in operating results of the company’s equity method investment.

Interest income and expense. The 46.7% favorable change in interest income was due to higher average cash and cash equivalent balance in the current quarter compared with the same period last year, offset by a slight decline in the yield earned on the company’s short-term investments. The higher cash and cash equivalent balance continued to be driven by the cash generated from the sale of KSG in March 2007.

The 102.4% unfavorable change in interest expense was due to an increase in debt issuance costs associated with the company’s credit agreement. Such costs are categorized as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was 66.4% compared with 20.6% for the third quarter in the prior year. The effective income tax rates for continuing operations differ from the statutory rate principally because of the effects of equity in undistributed earnings and losses of an equity investee, limitations on deductibility for meals and entertainment costs, and compensation associated with incentive stock option awards.

The income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2007 includes a tax benefit of $0.1 million principally for the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits associated with the effective settlement with tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.

Net Sales. The $218.2 million increase in net sales was principally due to incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, which accounted for $172.7 million, or 79.1%, of the increase. Consistent with the company’s quarter-to-date operating results, sales resulting from the acquisition of Innovativ accounted for a significant portion of incremental sales achieved during the nine months ended December 31, 2007, or $113.6 million. As previously noted, the acquisition of Innovativ expanded the company’s IT solutions offerings to provide for the sale of Sun Microsystems server and storage products, which were not offered by the company prior to the acquisition of Innovativ. The balance of the $172.7 million incremental sales resulted from the company’s recent acquisitions of InfoGenesis, Stack, and Visual One Systems.

Aside from the $172.7 million incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, net sales from the company’s existing business increased $45.5 million, or 12.8%, compared with last year. The year-over-year increase in existing business net sales was principally due to higher volume of hardware sales.

Sales by product category were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended				Increase
	December 31				(Decrease)
	2007		2006		$		%
Hardware	$	427,221	$	260,743	$	166,478		63.8	%
Software		52,458		25,475		26,983		105.9
Services		94,965		70,259		24,706		35.2

Total	$	574,644	$	356,477	$	218,167		61.2	%

Of the $166.5 million increase in hardware sales, $140.2 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. Hardware sales of Sun Microsystems products resulting from the company’s acquisition of Innovativ accounted for approximately 74.9% of the $140.2 million incremental sales.

Aside from the $140.2 million incremental hardware sales from the company’s recent acquisitions, hardware sales from the company’s existing business increased $26.3 million, or 10.1%, compared with last year. The increase in hardware sales from the company’s existing business was mainly due to higher sales of midrange server and storage technologies.

Of the $27.0 million increase in software sales, $11.8 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. The remaining $15.2 million increase in software sales was mainly due to higher sales of remarketed software offerings from the company’s existing business.

Of the $24.7 million increase in service revenue, approximately $20.7 million was the result of incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions. The remaining $4.0 million increase in services revenue was driven by higher sales of proprietary services to the hospitality and retail industries.

Gross Margin. The $44.0 million increase in gross margin was due to the corresponding increase in net sales, as gross margin percentage declined to 23.1% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 compared with 24.9% last year. The decline in gross margin percentage was due to a change in customer and product mix, including acquisitions made in the past year. Approximately 40 basis points of the decline was due to our increased participation in a more highly competitive storage environment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $43.4 million increase in SG&A expenses was mainly due to incremental operating expenses from the company’s recent acquisitions, which accounted for $37.3 million, or 85.9%, of the increase.

Total other expense (income)	$	(11,504	)	$	(520	)	$	10,984		2,112.3	%

Other (income) expense, net. The 93.6% favorable change in other expense, net was principally due to a $1.4 million gain recognized on the redemption of the company’s investment in an affiliated company in the first quarter of the current year. The investment, which was accounted for using the cost method, had a carrying value of $3.4 million and was redeemed by the affiliated company for $4.8 million, resulting in the pre-tax gain. Additionally, the company recognized a $0.5 million increase in foreign currency transaction gains during the current year compared with last year due to changes in exchange rates. These favorable changes were principally offset by a $0.9 million year-over-year decline in operating results of the company’s equity method investment.

Interest income and expense. The 215.8% favorable change in interest income was due to higher average cash and cash equivalent balance in the current year compared with last year, offset by a slight decline in the yield earned on the company’s short-term investments. The higher cash and cash equivalent balance was driven by the sale of KSG for $485.0 million on March 31, 2007. However, the company’s cash and cash equivalent balance has declined during the current year as the company has used cash to acquire businesses and purchase treasury shares.

The 67.9% favorable change in interest expense was due to lower average debt levels in the current year compared with last year. Last year, $59.4 million in Senior Notes were outstanding until they matured in August 2006. The Senior Notes paid interest at an annual percentage rate of 9.5% through their maturity date.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was 56.7% compared with 22.6% for the third quarter in the prior year. The effective income tax rates for continuing operations differ from the statutory rate principally because of the effects of equity in undistributed earnings and losses of an equity investee, limitations on deductibility for meals and entertainment costs, and compensation associated with incentive stock option awards.

The income tax provision for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 includes a tax benefit of $3.0 million principally for the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits associated with the effective settlement with tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.

Invoiced-but-Not-Shipped Transactions

From time to time, the company enters into customer transactions where product is procured upon receiving persuasive evidence of the arrangement; however, given the substance of the transaction, delivery from the supplier is not directly to the customer. Rather, the product is initially shipped to the company’s warehouse or a third-party warehouse designated in the transaction. Additionally, specific delivery schedules may not be in place at the time the product is procured due to the readiness of the customer’s technology resources and locations during the agreed upon delivery period. In such instances, revenue and the associated costs of revenue are recognized only upon the shipment of the product to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

As of December 31, 2007, the cost associated with these transactions was $31.5 million, which is categorized as a component of the company’s inventory in the consolidated balance sheet. The unrecognized revenue associated with such transactions was $37.6 million. Additionally, $1.7 million of vendor incentives earned by the company in connection with the transactions will be recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold once the related revenue is recognized in the company’s operating results. As described above, the revenue and related costs of goods sold will be recognized by the company once the product has been shipped and there are no other revenue recognition criteria yet to be met.

Capital Stock

Business Combinations

Innovative Systems Design, Inc.

InfoGenesis, Inc.

On June 18, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of InfoGenesis, an independent software vendor and solution provider to the hospitality market. InfoGenesis offers enterprise-class point-of-sale solutions that provide end users a highly intuitive, secure and easy way to process customer transactions across multiple departments or locations, including comprehensive corporate and store reporting. InfoGenesis has a significant presence in casinos, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, stadiums and foodservice. The acquisition will provide the company a complementary offering that will extend its reach into new segments of the hospitality market, broaden its customer base and increase its software application offerings. InfoGenesis was acquired for a total acquisition cost of $90.7 million.

Stack Computer

On April 2, 2007, the company acquired all of the shares of Stack. Stack’s customers include leading corporations in the financial services, healthcare and manufacturing industries. Stack also operates a highly sophisticated solution center, which is used to emulate customer IT environments, train staff and evaluate technology. The acquisition of Stack strategically provides the company with product solutions and services offerings that significantly enhance its existing storage and professional services business. Stack was acquired for a total acquisition cost of $26.9 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, management made a preliminary adjustment of $0.8 million to the fair value of acquired capital equipment and preliminarily assigned $11.7 million of the acquisition cost to identifiable intangible assets as follows: $1.5 million to non-compete agreements, which will be amortized over five years using the straight-line amortization method; $1.3 million to customer relationships, which will be amortized over five years using an accelerated amortization method; and $8.9 million to supplier relationships, which will be amortized over ten years using an accelerated amortization method. The cumulative amortization expense of $1.3 million relating to the identified intangible assets from the acquisition date through December 31, 2007 was recognized during the third quarter of 2008. Management is still in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation, which it expects to complete by year-end. In subsequent periods, the nature and amount of any material adjustments made to the initial allocation of the purchase price will be disclosed.

Visual One Systems Corporation

On January 23, 2007, the company acquired all the shares of Visual One Systems, a leading developer and marketer of Microsoft^{^®}Windows^®-based software for the hospitality industry. The acquisition provides Agilysys additional expertise around the development, marketing and sale of software applications for the hospitality industry, including property management, condominium, golf course, spa, point-of-sale, and sales and catering management applications. Visual One Systems customers include well-known North American and international full-service hotels, resorts, conference centers and condominiums of all sizes. The aggregate acquisition cost was $14.3 million.

Discontinued Operations

On March 31, 2007, the company sold the assets and operations of KSG for $485.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. During the second quarter of 2008, the final working capital adjustment of $10.8 million was settled and paid. Through the sale of KSG, the company exited all distribution-related business and exclusively sells directly to end-user customers. By monetizing the value of KSG, the company significantly increased its financial flexibility to accelerate growth both organically and through acquisitions. The sale of the KSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of KSG have been reported as a component of discontinued operations.

Investment in Affiliated Company

During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the company’s investment in a privately-held affiliated company was redeemed by the affiliated company for $4.8 million in cash. The investment, which was accounted for using the cost method, had a carrying value of $3.4 million. Accordingly, the company recognized a $1.4 million pre-tax gain on redemption of the investment in the first quarter of 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In connection with business acquisitions made during the current year, the company has assumed liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $1.6 million.

The company recognizes interest accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The company recognized $45,000 and $80,000 of interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007, respectively. The company accrued approximately $1.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The company’s operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding, which mainly consists of lease and rental obligations at December 31, 2007. The company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, available borrowings under its credit facility, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet its short and long-term liquidity requirements.

As of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the company’s total debt balance was $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and consisted of capital lease obligations.

Revolving Credit Facility

The company currently has a $200 million unsecured credit facility (“Facility”) that expires in 2010. At December 31, 2007, the company had $199 million available under the Facility given certain letter of credit commitments. The Facility includes a $20 million sub-facility for letters of credit and a $20 million sub-facility for swingline loans. The Facility is available to refinance existing debt, provide for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the company including acquisitions. Borrowings under the Facility will generally bear interest at various levels over LIBOR. The Facility contains various financial covenants. The company was compliant with all financial covenants contained in the Facility and anticipates that it will continue to comply with such covenants in the foreseeable future. There were no amounts outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2007 or March 31, 2007.

Cash Flow

The following table presents cash flow results from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:


	Nine Months Ended						Increase
	December 31						(Decrease)
	2007			2006			$
Net cash flows from continuing operations:
Operating activities	$	(134,879	)	$	(14,140	)	$	(120,739	)

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(466,263	)	$	(46,840	)	$	(419,423	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The company’s use of cash for operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased $120.7 million compared with the same period last year. The increase was principally due to income tax payments made during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared with last year. The higher income tax payments were the result of the gain on sale of KSG in March 2007. The cash outflow for income tax payments were principally offset by a $10.2 million improvement in income from continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared with the same period last year as well as a $6.0 million change in the non-cash adjustment for amortization expense, which was driven by the identification of intangible assets in connection with the company’s recent business acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. The company’s use of cash for investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased $212.3 million compared with the same period last year. The increase was principally due to the business acquisitions made in the current year, which were funded by cash on hand. Cash paid for the three acquisitions made in the current year were as follows (net of cash acquired): Stack — $23.9 million, InfoGenesis — $88.7 million, and Innovativ — $100.1 million. Additionally, the company’s capital expenditures increased $4.0 million year-over-year, principally due to the build out of a company facility housing certain of its remaining IT Solutions Business and corporate personnel following the sale of KSG in March 2007. These uses of cash were offset by $4.8 million received from the redemption of the company’s cost investment in an affiliated company during the current year.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. The company’s use of cash for financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 increased $60.8 million compared with the same period last year. The increase was principally due the company’s $120.5 million purchase of treasury shares through its “Dutch Auction” tender offer and common share repurchase under a Rule 10b5-1 Plan. Following the expiration of the tender offer and completion repurchase under the Rule 10b5-1 Plan, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the open-market repurchase by the company of up to an additional 2.5 million shares. The company has entered into another Rule 10b5-1 Plan to facilitate the repurchase of the additional shares. The company anticipates that the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be in place through the completion of the repurchase of all of the shares covered under the plan or October 31, 2008, whichever comes earlier.

The increase in cash used for financing activities resulting from the purchase of treasury shares during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was offset by the retirement of the company’s Senior Notes last year for a total cash outflow of $59.5 million.

Contractual Obligations

As a result of the adoption of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007, the company recognized an additional long-term liability of approximately $2.9 million for unrecognized tax benefits, of which approximately $0.3 million could potentially be settled within the next 12 months. The timing of payment of the remaining liability for unrecognized tax benefits cannot be reasonably estimated. Since March 31, 2007, there have been no other material changes to the contractual obligations summarized under the “Contractual Obligations” section of Item 7 in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007 (“Annual Report”).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

A detailed description of the company’s critical accounting policies can be found in the company’s Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to those critical accounting policies other than the company’s accounting for income tax uncertainties upon adoption of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007, which is discussed above under “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.”

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the company, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of the company’s Annual Report. There have been no material changes in the company’s market risk exposures since March 31, 2007.


Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The company’s disclosure controls and procedures include components of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based upon this evaluation, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of December 31, 2007, concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that material information required to be in this quarterly report was made known to them by others on a timely basis.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the company completed the acquisition of Stack, InfoGenesis and Innovativ. As of December 31, 2007, the company was still in the process of evaluating the internal controls over financial reporting for each of these acquired entities. Although the evaluation process is not yet complete, where appropriate the company has modified the internal controls over financial reporting of the acquired entities in order to correct any identified control deficiencies. The company continues to integrate each acquired entity’s internal controls over financial reporting into the company’s own internal controls over financial reporting, and will continue to review and, if necessary, make changes to each acquired entity’s internal controls over financial reporting until such time as integration is complete. There were no other changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
