Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2011 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Overview

Agilysys, Inc. (“Agilysys” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of innovative information technology (“IT”) solutions to corporate and public-sector customers, with special expertise in select markets, including retail and hospitality. The Company develops technology solutions — including hardware, software, and services — to help customers resolve their most complicated IT data center and point-of-sale needs. The Company possesses data center expertise in enterprise architecture and high availability, infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, and business continuity. Agilysys’ point-of-sale solutions include: proprietary property management, inventory and procurement, point-of-sale, and document management software, proprietary services including expertise in mobility and wireless solutions for retailers, and resold hardware, software, and services. A significant portion of the point-of-sale related revenue is recurring from software support and hardware maintenance agreements. Headquartered in Solon, Ohio, Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, with additional sales and support offices in the United Kingdom and Asia. Agilysys has three reportable business segments: Hospitality Solutions Group (“HSG”), Retail Solutions Group (“RSG”), and Technology Solutions Group (“TSG”).

Recent Developments

On May 31, 2011, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its TSG business for a purchase price of $64 million in cash to OnX Enterprise Solutions Limited and its subsidiary OnX Acquisition LLC (together “OnX”), a leading IT solutions provider based in Toronto, Canada. The transaction is subject to approval by Agilysys shareholders and is expected to close in the Company’s fiscal 2012 second quarter, which ends September 30, 2011. For further information, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 31, 2011.

As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, due to outstanding contingencies related to the transaction, this transaction did not yet meet the definition of probable contained within the U.S. GAAP accounting guidance. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the TSG business are not classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and the results of operations of the TSG business are not classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented.

On May 31, 2011, the Company also announced that Martin Ellis was stepping down as president and CEO to pursue other career interests. Mr. Ellis will continue to serve as special advisor to Keith Kolerus, non-executive chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) in support of the Company’s transition until the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. James H. Dennedy, a member of the Board, has been appointed as interim president and CEO.

On June 14, 2011, the Company announced that it intends to relocate its headquarters to Alpharetta, Georgia and close its corporate offices in Solon, Ohio during the fiscal year which will end March 31, 2012. This corporate relocation is part of a restructuring plan intended to shrink the size and costs of our corporate offices, and locate the corporate team closer to the remaining operating businesses, after the proposed sale of the Technology Solutions Group. The Company expects to incur expenses associated with this move, including employee costs for retention, relocation, severance, and recruitment; as well as costs related to our current headquarters facility in Solon and the establishment of new headquarters facilities in Alpharetta. These expected expenses are still to be quantified and will be disclosed, when estimable, at a future date.

History and Significant Events

Agilysys was organized as an Ohio corporation in 1963. While originally focused on electronic components and later enterprise computer distribution, the Company executed two transformative divestitures in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2007 of its distribution businesses. Proceeds from the divestitures were used to reduce leverage, buy back common shares, and grow the remaining IT solutions business through organic investments and acquisitions.

Today, Agilysys offers diversified products and solutions focused on improving data center and point-of-sale technology solutions for its customers. HSG develops, markets, and sells proprietary property management, point-of-sale, and material and inventory

management software applications to operate hotel, casino, destination resort, cruise line, and food service management establishments in the hospitality industry. In addition, HSG provides proprietary implementation and software maintenance services, as well as IBM servers and storage products. RSG is one of the largest North American systems integrators of retail point-of-sale, self-service, and wireless solutions with proprietary business consulting, implementation, and hardware maintenance services. TSG is a leading value-added reseller of mid-to-high end data center solutions that utilize server, networking, and storage hardware, multiple software technologies, and resold and proprietary services.

The Company was actively building out its solution capabilities in mid-calendar year 2007 and early 2008 through acquisitions, as the Company invested capital raised from the divestiture of its KeyLink Systems Distribution Business (“KSG”), which was its enterprise computer distribution business. As evidence of a recession surfaced in early calendar year 2008, customers’ outlook changed and capital expenditures on IT solutions were slashed. As a result of the decline in GDP, a weak macroeconomic environment, significantly reduced liquidity in the credit markets, and changes in demand for IT products, the Company focused on aligning cost structure with current and expected revenue levels, improving efficiencies, and increasing cash flows. Agilysys took aggressive actions to reduce its cost structure and improve profitability. Specifically, the Company executed the following restructuring actions over the past three years:

 

restructured the go-to-market strategy for TSG’s professional services offering;

 

exited the Asian operations of TSG;

 

reduced corporate overhead and realigned executive management;

 

closed corporate offices in Boca Raton, Florida and relocated and consolidated its headquarters with the existing facilities in Solon, Ohio;

 

realigned certain operational and administrative departments;

 

streamlined processes to reduce costs and drive efficiencies;

 

implemented a new Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) software system for North American operations on April 1, 2010 to further improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs, replacing a legacy distribution IT system that required significant manual processes to meet its regulatory, management, and customer reporting requirements

 

terminated certain benefit plans applicable to executive management; and

 

closed an office in Montreal, Quebec and restructured the Canadian operations of TSG.

Industry

According to information published in January 2011 by Gartner, Inc. (“Gartner”), a leading provider of information technology research and advisory services, worldwide IT spending on hardware, software, and IT services was estimated at $3.4 trillion in calendar year 2010, an increase of 5.4% over spending in calendar year 2009. In calendar year 2011, Gartner projects worldwide IT spending on hardware, software, and IT services to grow to $3.6 trillion, an increase of 5.1%. Computing hardware and enterprise software are expected to grow 7.5%, with services expected to increase 4.6% globally. The Company believes that it is well-positioned to take advantage of the projected growth in IT spending in future periods.

According to Smith Travel Research and The American Gaming Association, the U.S. hotel industry experienced occupancy and revenue-per-available-room increases during calendar year 2010. Average daily rate was the only key performance metric to report a slight decrease, ending the year with a 0.1% decline. However, as reported by the Las Vegas Casino and Hotel Market Outlook 2011, occupancy rates are considerably down when compared to calendar year 2007. Market-wide occupancy dropped from 90.4% in calendar year 2007 to 81.5% in calendar year 2009. The industry has proved to be in the early stages of recovery in calendar year 2011, and is expected to continue this trend for the remainder of the year. The last three years have been challenging ones for the commercial casino industry, as consumer discretionary spending dropped amidst a national mood battered by high unemployment and low consumer confidence.

According to the Cruise Industry News 2011 State of the Industry Report, cruise ships have evolved into the most successful and profitable segment of the leisure industry. A steady stream of new ships was introduced in calendar year 2010, and market capacity increased 6.1% over calendar year 2009. The cruise industry is laser focused on working with vendors and suppliers to implement solutions that manage costs more effectively.

The non-consumer IT industry consists of a supply chain made up of suppliers, distributors, resellers, and corporate and public-sector customers. Agilysys operates in the reseller category as a solution provider, as well as a software developer in the hospitality industry and system integrator in the retail industry.

To ensure the efficient and cost-effective delivery of products and services to market, IT suppliers are increasingly outsourcing functions such as logistics, order management, sales, and technical support. Solution providers play crucial roles in this outsourcing

strategy by offering customers technically skilled and market-focused sales and services organizations. Certain solution providers, such as Agilysys, offer additional proprietary products and services that complement a total, customer-focused solution.

Products and Services

Within the markets in which Agilysys operates, sales include products (i.e., hardware and software) and services. Total revenues from continuing operations for the Company’s three specific areas of offerings are as follows:

 

     For The Year Ended March 31  
(In thousands)    2011      2010      2009  

Hardware

   $ 456,200       $ 440,242       $ 462,670   

Software

     89,148         72,217         80,247   

Services

     130,122         121,861         178,040   

Total

   $ 675,470       $ 634,320       $ 720,957   

The Company purchases IT products and services both directly from the Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) (formerly Sun Microsystems, Inc. (“Sun”)), and other original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and through its primary distributor, Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”), and re-sells this equipment to its customers. These OEMs require Agilysys, as a reseller, to purchase a substantial amount of product and services through a Tier I distributor such as Arrow. The Company has a long-term purchase agreement with Arrow that includes an obligation to purchase a minimum of $330 million of product and services per year through fiscal 2012. However, the agreement with Arrow does not impact the OEM the Company selects, or the Company’s customer selects, to fulfill an order. This purchase agreement is expected to be assumed by OnX, the acquirer of the TSG business, which is expected to occur in the fiscal 2012 second quarter.

Sales of products and services from the Company’s three largest OEMs accounted for 49%, 53% and 61% of the Company’s sales volumes in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, comprised as follows:

 

       For The Year Ended March 31  
(In thousands)      2011        2010        2009  

HP

       17%           16%           16%   

IBM

       17%           19%           17%   

Oracle

       15%           18%           28%   

Total

       49%           53%           61%   

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Operating segments can be aggregated for segment reporting purposes so long as certain economic and operating aggregation criteria are met. With the divestiture of KSG in fiscal 2007, the continuing operations of the Company represented one business segment that provided IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers. In fiscal 2008, the Company evaluated its business groups and developed a structure to support the Company’s strategic direction, as it transformed to a pervasive solution provider largely in the North American IT market. With this transformation, the Company now has three reportable business segments: HSG, RSG, and TSG. See Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Business Segments, for a discussion of the Company’s segment reporting.

Customers

Agilysys’ customers include large and medium-sized companies, divisions or departments of corporations in the Fortune 1000, and public-sector institutions. The Company serves customers in a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, education, finance, government, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and retail. In recent years, a significant portion of our revenues were derived from Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”). The following table presents sales to Verizon as a percentage of Agilysys’ total sales and TSG’s total sales in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009:

 

     For The Year Ended March 31  
(In thousands)    2011        2010        2009  

Percentage of Agilysys total sales

     23%           27%           23%   

Percentage of TSG total sales

     32%           39%           33%   

Uneven Sales Patterns and Seasonality

The Company experiences a disproportionately large percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of its fiscal quarters. In addition, TSG experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending December 31st. Third quarter sales were 32%, 34%, and 30% of annual revenues for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Agilysys believes that this sales pattern is industry-wide. Although the Company is unable to predict whether this uneven sales pattern will continue over the long term, the Company anticipates that this trend will remain in the foreseeable future.

Backlog

The Company historically has not had a significant backlog of orders due to its ability to quickly fulfill customer orders. There was no significant backlog at March 31, 2011.

Competition

The reselling of innovative IT solutions is competitive, primarily with respect to price, but also with respect to service levels. The Company faces competition with respect to developing and maintaining relationships with customers. Agilysys competes for customers with other solution providers and occasionally with some of its suppliers in its RSG and TSG business segments.

There are very few public enterprise product resellers in the IT solution provider market. As such, Agilysys’ competition is typically small or regional, privately held technology solution providers with $50 million to $500 million in revenues. The Company competes with large companies such as MICROS Systems, Inc. and Radiant Systems, Inc. within HSG, and Berbee Information Networks Corporation (a division of CDW Corporation), Forsythe Solutions Group, Inc., and Logicalis Group within TSG. RSG’s competitive marketplace is highly fragmented with respect to system integrators.

Employees

As of May 31, 2011, Agilysys had 1,179 employees. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, has had no strikes or work stoppages, and considers its employee relations to be good.

Markets

Agilysys sells its products principally in the United States and Canada and entered the China, Hong Kong, and UK markets through acquisitions. Sales to customers outside of the United States and Canada do not represent a significant percentage of the Company’s sales. In January 2009, the Company sold the stock of TSG’s operations in China and certain assets of TSG’s Hong Kong operations. However, HSG still continues to operate and grow in Asia, specifically in Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore, as well as in the UK and Middle East.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The proposed sale of our TSG Business segment creates uncertainty and potential liability for the Company.

On May 28, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, Agilysys Technology Solutions Group, LLC, entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with OnX pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its TSG business (the “TSG Business”) to OnX for a purchase price of $64 million, subject to a possible downward adjustment based on final working capital (the “TSG Sale”). The closing of the TSG Sale is subject to certain conditions, including authorization by the Company’s shareholders, and is expected to occur in the fiscal 2012 second quarter. There is no assurance that the TSG Sale will close. In the event the closing does not occur because shareholder approval is not obtained, we may be obligated to pay OnX for expenses up to $1,250,000. Additionally, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated, OnX may have recourse against the Company for $2,250,000.

Between signing the Purchase Agreement and closing the TSG Sale, the Company must cause the TSG Business to be conducted in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same manner as previously conducted and to use reasonable best efforts to keep intact the TSG Business, keep available the services of their current employees and preserve the goodwill of their customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others with whom they deal. The Company is also prohibited from taking certain actions without the consent of OnX. Among the more significant restrictions or limitations are those relating to: increasing compensation or benefit commitments; hiring new employees; incurring debt; making acquisitions, dispositions, investments or capital expenditures; and entering into certain contracts. A breach of any of these obligations may also provide OnX recourse against the Company.

If we do not close the TSG Sale, the continued operations of our business may result in losses from operations until an alternate course of action can be implemented. Furthermore, if we do not close the TSG Sale, we will have incurred significant costs for which we will have received little or no benefit, and we may also incur negative reactions from the financial markets and our shareholders, potential investors, customers and employees. In addition, completing the TSG Sale may divert our management’s attention from our existing business.

Conversely, if the TSG Sale is closed, achieving the increased operating profit anticipated as a result of the TSG Sale depends on timely, efficient and successful execution of our post-disposition operational initiatives. Furthermore, we will operate with less revenue, as the TSG Business accounted for approximately 70% of our revenue in fiscal 2011.

Each of the above described risk factors associated with the TSG Sale may adversely affect our cash flow, operating results and financial condition, and each of these factors may also adversely affect the trading price of common shares.

Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our intellectual property.

We generally rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and contract rights in the United States and in other countries to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products. Our ability to secure our intellectual property rights is becoming increasingly important to the success of our ongoing operations and future opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of our proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses to any technology that we may require to conduct our business or that, if obtainable, such technology can be licensed at a reasonable cost.

From time to time, we may receive notices from third parties claiming infringement by our products of third-party patent or other intellectual property rights. Responding to any such claim, regardless of its merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. Any meritorious claim of intellectual property infringement against us could potentially result in a temporary or permanent injunction entered prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our products or require us to pay royalties to a third party. In the event of a meritorious claim, and if we fail to develop or license a substitute technology, our business, results of operations, or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our profitability could suffer further if we are not able to maintain favorable pricing.

Our profitability is dependent on the rates we are able to charge for our products and services. If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our products and services, our profit margin and our profitability could suffer. The rates we are able to charge for our products and services are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

our customers’ perceptions of our ability to add value through our services;

 

competition;

 

introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors;

 

our competitors’ pricing policies;

 

our ability to charge higher prices where market demand or the value of our services justifies it;

 

our ability to accurately estimate, attain, and sustain contract revenues, margins, and cash flows over long contract periods;

 

procurement practices of our customers; and

 

general economic and political conditions.

Our profitability is partly dependent upon restructuring and executing planned cost savings.

Commencing during fiscal 2009 and throughout fiscal 2011, we initiated actions intended to reduce our cost structure and improve profitability, including the following restructuring actions:

 

restructured the go-to-market strategy for TSG’s professional services offering;

 

exited Asian operations of TSG;

 

reduced corporate overhead and realigned executive management;

 

closed corporate offices in Boca Raton, Florida and relocated and consolidated our corporate headquarters with our existing facilities in Solon, Ohio;

 

realigned certain operational and administrative departments:

 

streamlined processes to reduce costs and drive efficiencies;

 

implemented a new Oracle ERP software system for North American operations on April 1, 2010 to further improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs, replacing a legacy distribution IT system that required significant manual processes to meet its regulatory, management, and customer reporting requirements;

 

terminated certain benefit plans applicable to executive management; and

 

closed an office in Montreal, Quebec and restructured the Canadian operations of TSG.

If our cost reduction efforts are ineffective or our estimates of cost savings are inaccurate, our profitability could be negatively impacted. We may not be successful in achieving the operating efficiencies and operating cost reductions expected from these efforts, and may experience business disruptions associated with the restructuring and cost reduction activities. These efforts may not produce the full efficiency and cost reduction benefits that we expect. Further, such benefits may be realized later than expected, and the costs of implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated.

In recent years, a significant portion of our revenues were derived from a single customer.

In fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, 23%, 27%, and 23%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from Verizon. If we were to lose Verizon as a customer, or if pricing offered by our OEMs to Agilysys on sales to Verizon changed such that the gross margin earned on sales to Verizon was materially reduced, or if Verizon was to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for products and services, or was to become unwilling or unable to make payments in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. A further or extended economic downturn could also reduce profitability and cash flow. This customer relationship is expected to be assumed by OnX, the acquirer of the TSG business, which is expected to occur in the fiscal 2012 second quarter.

We contract with a small number of key OEMs and changes in their incentive programs could have a material impact on our results.

We presently have contracts with a small number of key OEMs, including IBM, HP, EMC2, Hitachi Data Systems, and Oracle (formerly Sun). Our contracts with these OEMs vary in duration and are generally terminable by either party at will upon notice. The loss of any of these OEMs or a combination of certain other OEMs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. From time to time, an OEM may terminate the Company’s right to sell some or all of its products and services or change the terms and conditions of the relationship or reduce or discontinue the incentives or programs offered. Any termination or the implementation of these changes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The loss of the right to sell the products and services of any of the top three OEMs or a combination of certain other OEMs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition unless alternative products manufactured by other OEMs are available to the Company. In addition, although the Company believes that its relationships with its OEMs are good, there can be no assurance that the Company’s OEMs will continue to supply products on terms acceptable to the Company. Through agreements with its OEMs, Agilysys is authorized to sell all or some of the OEMs’ products. The authorization with each OEM is subject to specific terms and conditions regarding such items as purchase discounts and supplier incentive programs including sales volume incentives and cooperative advertising reimbursements. A substantial portion of the Company’s profitability results from incentive programs with the OEMs. These incentive programs are at the discretion of the OEM. From time to time, OEMs may terminate the right of the Company to sell some or all of their products or change these terms and conditions or reduce or discontinue the incentives or programs offered. Any such termination or implementation of such changes could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. Following the TSG Sale, the Company will continue to have a concentration of sales with at least one OEM, IBM.

Consolidation in the industries that we serve could adversely affect our business.

Customers that we serve may seek to achieve economies of scale and other synergies by combining with or acquiring other companies. If two or more of our current customers combine their operations, it may decrease the amount of work that we perform for these customers. If one of our current clients merges or consolidates with a company that relies on another provider for its consulting, systems integration and technology, or outsourcing services, we may lose work from that client or lose the opportunity to gain additional work. If two or more of our suppliers merge or consolidate operations, the increased market power of the larger company could also increase our product costs and place competitive pressures on us. Any of these possible results of industry consolidation could adversely affect our business.

For example, in early calendar 2010, Oracle completed its acquisition of Sun, and we are Sun’s largest commercial reseller in the U.S., and we have experienced reduced rebates and margins as a result of Oracles’s acquisition of Sun. While this acquisition mainly impacted our TSG business segment, similar acquisitions and mergers could impact our other business segments.

The market for our products and services is affected by changing technology and if we fail to anticipate and adapt to such changes, our results of operations may suffer.

The markets in which the Company competes are characterized by ongoing technological change, new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changing needs of customers. Our competitive position and future success will depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards. If we fail to successfully manage the challenges of rapidly changing technology, the Company’s results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may be unable to hire enough qualified employees or we may lose key employees.

We rely on the continued service of our senior management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, members of our executive team, and other key employees and the hiring of new qualified employees. In the technology services industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for highly-skilled personnel. We may not be successful in recruiting new personnel and in retaining and motivating existing personnel. We also may experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher prices. With rare exceptions, we do not have long-term employment agreements with our employees and only our key employees are subject to non-competition agreements. The loss of key employees and members of our senior management team may be disruptive to our operations.

Part of our total compensation program includes share-based compensation. Share-based compensation is an important tool in attracting and retaining employees in our industry. If the market price of our common shares declines or remains low, it may adversely affect our ability to retain or attract employees. In addition, because we expense all share-based compensation, we may in the future change our share-based and other compensation practices. Any changes in our compensation practices or changes made by competitors could affect our ability to retain and motivate existing personnel and recruit new personnel.

Our business could be materially adversely affected if we cannot effectively utilize newly implemented changes to our information technology systems to support a changed business.

Our legacy information systems were principally designed for a distribution business. We converted our legacy business information systems for our North American operations to a single Oracle ERP system on April 1, 2010. We committed significant resources to

this conversion. This conversion was complex and while we used a controlled project plan, we may not be able to effectively utilize changes to manage our internal systems, procedures, and controls, which could materially adversely affect our business.

Prolonged economic weakness may cause a further decline in spending for information technology, adversely affecting our financial results.

Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services and continued growth in the use of technology in our customers’ businesses. In challenging economic environments, our customers may reduce or defer their spending on new technologies. At the same time, many companies have already invested substantial resources in their current technological resources, and they may be reluctant or slow to adopt new approaches that could disrupt existing personnel, processes, and infrastructures. Delays or reductions in demand for information technology by end users could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and services. In recent years, we have experienced weakening in the demand for our products and services. If the markets for our products and services continue to soften, our business, results of operations, or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

In recent years, capital markets experienced periods of dislocation and instability, which have had and could continue to have a negative impact on our business and operations.

The recent disruption in the U.S. and global capital markets has impacted, and in the future could impact, the broader financial and credit markets and reduce the availability and increase the price of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole. If these conditions persist for a prolonged period of time or worsen in the future, the resulting lack of available credit, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets, and reduced business activity could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and our ability to obtain and manage our liquidity. Any such developments could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Credit market developments may adversely affect our business and results of operations by reducing availability under our credit agreement.

On May 5, 2009, we entered into a new credit facility, as discussed in Item 7 of this Annual Report titled, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources and in Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Financing Arrangements. Although we do not intend to borrow in the near term, and we anticipate terminating the credit facility immediately prior to the closing of the TSG Sale, if the TSG Sale does not close and our lender fails to honor its legal commitments under our credit facility, it could possibly be difficult in the current environment to replace this facility on similar terms.

In the current volatile state of the credit markets, there is risk that any lender, even those with strong balance sheets and sound lending practices, could fail or refuse to honor their legal commitments and obligations under existing credit commitments, including but not limited to: extending credit up to the maximum permitted by a credit facility, allowing access to additional credit features, and otherwise accessing capital and/or honoring loan commitments. The failure of the lender under the Company’s credit facility may impact our ability to borrow money to finance our operating activities.

Disruptions in the financial and credit markets may adversely impact the spending of our customers, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Demand for our products and services depends in large part upon the level of capital available to our customers. Decreased customer capital spending could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our services and our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, future disruptions in the financial markets may also have an adverse impact on regional economies or the world economy, which could negatively impact the capital and maintenance expenditures of our customers. There can be no assurance that government responses to any disruptions on the financial markets will restore confidence, stabilize markets, or increase liquidity and the availability of credit. These conditions may reduce the willingness or ability of our customers and prospective customers to commit funds to purchase our products and services, or their ability to pay for our products and services after purchase.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or timely or detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

An effective internal control environment is necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and is an important part of its effort to prevent financial fraud. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. We have an ongoing program to perform the system and process evaluation and testing necessary to comply with these requirements and to continuously improve and remediate internal controls over financial reporting.

While management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls on a regular basis, these controls may not always be effective. There are inherent limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls, including collusion, management override, and failure in human judgment. In addition, control procedures are designed to reduce rather than eliminate business risks. In the event that our interim chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or independent registered public accounting firm determines that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, we may be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, which could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC or NASDAQ. Any such actions could affect investor perceptions of the Company and result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could cause the market price of our common shares to decline or limit our access to capital.

We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors. Our most critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of this Annual Report titled, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and we describe other significant accounting policies in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. In addition, as discussed in Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Commitments and Contingencies, we record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the outcome is probable and estimable, including decisions related to provisions for legal proceedings and other contingencies. While we believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, they are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we acquire new businesses, we may not be able to successfully integrate them or attain the anticipated benefits.

As part of our operating history and growth strategy, we have acquired other businesses. In the future, we may continue to seek acquisitions. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire targeted businesses or obtain financing for such acquisitions on satisfactory terms. The process of integrating acquired businesses into our operations may result in unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention. In particular, the integration of acquired technologies with our existing products could cause delays in the introduction of new products. In connection with future acquisitions, we may incur significant charges to earnings as a result of, among other things, the write-off of purchased research and development. If we are unsuccessful in integrating our acquisitions, or if the integration is more difficult than anticipated, we may experience disruptions that could have a material adverse effect on our business or the acquisition. In addition, we may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from our acquisitions, which could result in an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.

Future acquisitions may be financed through the issuance of common shares, which may dilute the ownership of our shareholders, or through the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Furthermore, we can provide no assurance that competition for acquisition candidates will not escalate, thereby increasing the costs of making acquisitions or making suitable acquisitions unattainable. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:

 

problems combining the acquired operations, technologies or products;

 

unanticipated costs or liabilities;

 

diversion of management’s attention;

 

adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

Table of Contents
 

risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience; and

 

potential loss of key employees, particularly those of the acquired organizations.

We may incur additional goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges that adversely affect our operating results.

We review goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired and that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, a significant decline in our common share price for a sustained period, and decreases in our market capitalization below the recorded amount of our net assets for a sustained period.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that certain software developed technology within HSG was no longer being sold. As a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million, which impacted HSG’s operations. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, 2011. As a result of a significant decrease in market capitalization and a decline in recent operating results, we concluded that a portion of our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were impaired. As such, we recognized non-cash impairment charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 for goodwill and intangible assets totaling $37.7 million.

We performed our annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment test as of February 1, 2010 and concluded that no impairment existed. Accordingly, we did not recognize any non-cash goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2010. However, as a result of a significant deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, there was a decline in global equity valuations during fiscal 2009 that impacted our market capitalization. Based upon the results of impairment tests performed during fiscal 2009, we concluded that a portion of our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets were impaired. As such, we recognized non-cash impairment charges in the first, second, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009 for goodwill and intangible assets totaling $231.9 million. This total did not include $20.6 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment that related to the CTS Corporations (“CTS”), a business acquired in May 2005, that was classified as restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. These impairment charges did not impact our consolidated cash flows, liquidity, or capital resources. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Item 7 of this Annual Report titled, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates & Assumptions for further discussion of the impairment testing of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

A continued decline in general economic conditions or global equity valuations could impact the judgments and assumptions about the fair value of our businesses and we could be required to record additional impairment charges in the future, which would impact our consolidated balance sheet, as well as our consolidated statement of operations. If we were required to recognize an additional impairment charge in the future, the charge would not impact our consolidated cash flows, current liquidity, or capital resources.

We are subject to litigation, which may be costly.

As a company that does business with many customers, employees and suppliers, we are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory actions, including, but not limited to, claims made by or against us relating to taxes, health and safety, employee benefit plans, employment discrimination, and contract compliance. The results of such legal and regulatory actions are difficult to predict. Although we are not aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, or agreements and we do not believe that any of our products and services infringes any property rights or licenses, we may incur significant legal expenses if any such claim were filed. If we are unsuccessful in defending a claim, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. For a discussion of the risks associated with intellectual property rights, see the risk factor titled, “Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our intellectual property.”

Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.

Our operations and the operations of our significant suppliers could be subject to power shortages, telecommunications failures, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. While we maintain disaster

recovery plans and insurance with coverages we believe to be adequate, claims may exceed insurance coverage limits, may not be covered by insurance, or insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.

As a publicly traded company, our common share price is subject to many factors, including certain market trends that are out of our control and that may not reflect our actual intrinsic value.

We can experience short-term increases and declines in the price of our common shares and such fluctuations may be due to factors other than those specific to our business, such as economic news or other events generally affecting the trading markets. These fluctuations could favorably or unfavorably impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our ownership base has been and may continue to be concentrated in a few shareholders, which could increase the volatility of our common share price over time. Additionally, a low stock price, coupled with our potential high liquidity upon the closing of the TSG Sale, may heighten the risk of unwanted offers or takeover activities that may not adequately reflect the intrinsic value of the Company’s stock.

We continue to maintain a long-term product procurement commitment with Arrow.

We entered into a long-term product procurement agreement with Arrow, which sets forth certain pricing and rebates, subject to certain terms and conditions. In addition, the agreement requires us to purchase a wide variety of products totaling a minimum of $330 million per year through fiscal 2012. If we do not meet the minimum purchase requirements of this product procurement agreement, other than for certain reasons that are not within our control, we will be required to pay Arrow an amount equal to 1.25% of the shortfall in annual purchases, which could materially impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. If this agreement is terminated, adequate alternative supply sources exist and, therefore, it would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. This obligation is expected to be assumed by OnX, the acquirer of TSG, upon the expected completion of the TSG Sale.

Our largest shareholder, MAK Capital, currently holds approximately 31% of our common shares, which could impact corporate policy and strategy, and MAK Capital’s interests may differ from those of other shareholders.

Pursuant to the approval by shareholders of a control share acquisition proposal, MAK Capital holds approximately 31% of our outstanding common shares. What a significant shareholder might do in response to a particular decision of the Board could potentially affect the interests of the Company and the other shareholders, making this a legitimate inquiry for the Board in considering the range of possible corporate policies and strategies in the future and potentially influencing corporate policy and strategic planning.

MAK entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with Computershare, as trustee, which provides that, for both strategic and other transactions requiring at least two-thirds of the voting power to approve, the trustee will vote a certain percentage of MAK Capital’s shares in favor of, against, or abstaining from voting in the same proportion as all other shares voted by shareholders (including MAK Capital’s shares not being voted by the trustee). If the Voting Trust Agreement, as amended, that MAK entered into with Computershare were to terminate for any reason, MAK Capital would have a level of control that would highly influence the approval or disapproval of transactions requiring under Ohio law the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding common shares, such as a business combination, or majority share acquisition involving the issuance of common shares entitling the holders to exercise one-sixth or more of the voting power of the Company, each of which requires approval by two-thirds of the outstanding common shares. MAK Capital might also be able to initiate or substantially assist any such transaction. Even with the limitations on MAK Capital’s voting power imposed by the Voting Trust Agreement, as amended, it would be more difficult for the other shareholders to approve such a transaction if MAK Capital opposed it, and MAK Capital’s interests may differ from those of other shareholders.

We may be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The ultimate adoption of such standards could negatively impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Although not yet required, we could be required to adopt IFRS for our accounting standards, which is different from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The implementation and adoption of new standards could favorably or unfavorably impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company’s principal corporate offices are located in a 100,000 square foot facility in Solon, Ohio. As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned or leased a total of approximately 362,000 square feet of space for its continuing operations, which is devoted principally to sales and administrative offices. The Company’s major leases contain renewal options for periods of up to 7 years. For information concerning the Company’s rental obligations, see the discussion of contractual obligations under Item 7 contained in Part II, as well as Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Lease Commitments. The Company believes that its office facilities are well maintained, are suitable, and provide adequate space for the operations of the Company.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On September 30, 2008, the Company had a $36.2 million investment in the Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund (the “Primary Fund”). Due to liquidity issues, the Primary Fund temporarily ceased honoring redemption requests at that time. The Board of Trustees of the Primary Fund subsequently voted to liquidate the assets of the fund and approved several distributions of cash to investors. On November 25, 2009, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an Order (the “Order”) on an application made by the SEC concerning the distribution of the remaining assets of The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund. The Order provided for a pro rata distribution of the remaining assets and enjoined certain claims against the Primary Fund and other parties named as defendants in litigation involving the Primary Fund, but provided no timeframe for distribution. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had received $35.8 million of the investment, with a remaining uncollected balance of its Primary Fund investment totaling $0.4 million. The Company is unable to estimate the timing of future distributions, if any, from the Primary Fund.

As of June 10, 2011, there were 22,993,135 common shares of the Company outstanding, and there were 2,104 shareholders of record. However, the Company believes that there is a larger number of beneficial holders of its common shares. The closing price of the common shares on June 10, 2011, was $7.33 per share.

In fiscal 2010, the Company paid cash dividends on common shares on May 1, 2009 and August 3, 2009, as authorized by the Board of Directors. On August 5, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors voted to eliminate future dividend payments due to the evolution of the Company’s business model and the weak operating performance that resulted in the Company not maintaining its fixed charge coverage ratio under the new credit facility the Company executed in May 2009, as discussed in Item 7 of this Annual Report titled, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources and in Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Financing Arrangements. The elimination of the dividend preserves approximately $2.7 million in cash for the Company on an annualized basis and further improves financial flexibility.

The Company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment Plan whereby cash dividends, if any, and additional monthly cash investments up to a maximum of $5,000 per month may be invested in the Company’s common shares at no commission cost.

No repurchases of common shares were made by or on behalf of the Company during fiscal 2011.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”), management explains the general financial condition and results of operations for Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries including:

 

what factors affect the Company’s business;

 

what the Company’s earnings and costs were;

 

why those earnings and costs were different from the year before;

 

where the earnings came from;

 

how the Company’s financial condition was affected; and

 

where the cash will come from to fund future operations.

The MD&A analyzes changes in specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and provides information that management believes is important to assessing and understanding the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 15 of this Annual Report titled, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Information provided in the MD&A may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” below and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of this Annual Report for additional information concerning these items. Management believes that this information, discussion, and disclosure is important in making decisions about investing in the Company.

Overview

Agilysys, Inc. is a leading provider of innovative information technology (“IT”) solutions to corporate and public-sector customers, with special expertise in select markets, including retail and hospitality. The Company develops technology solutions — including hardware, software, and services — to help customers resolve their most complicated data center and point-of-sale needs. The Company possesses data center expertise in enterprise architecture and high availability, infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, and business continuity. Agilysys’ point-of-sale solutions include proprietary property management, inventory and procurement, point-of-sale and document management software, proprietary services, expertise in mobility and wireless solutions for retailers, and resold hardware, software, and services. A significant portion of the point-of-sale related revenues are from software support and hardware maintenance agreements, which are recurring in nature.

Headquartered in Solon, Ohio effective October 2008, Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, with additional sales offices in the United Kingdom and Asia. Agilysys has three reportable business segments: Hospitality Solutions (“HSG”), Retail Solutions (“RSG”), and Technology Solutions (“TSG”). See Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Business Segments, which is included in Item 15, for additional discussion.

The primary objective of the Company’s ongoing strategic planning process is to create shareholder value by exploiting growth opportunities and strengthening its competitive position in the solutions and markets that it competes. The plan builds on the Company’s existing strengths and targets growth driven by new technology trends and market opportunities. The Company’s strategic plan specifically focuses on:

   

Growing sales of its proprietary offerings, both software and services. The Company developed a corporate-wide initiative to increase the proprietary content in its overall revenue stream. Each reportable business segment is executing a plan to increase its proprietary software, services, and solution sets based on existing competitive advantages and market opportunities.

   

Diversifying its customer base across geographies and industries. Agilysys technologies are suited to serve a very large, worldwide marketplace. Opportunities exist to selectively pursue international growth and domestic growth beyond the Company’s traditionally strong customer set. North American sales accounted for 97% of fiscal 2011 revenue.

   

Capitalizing on the Company’s intellectual property and emerging technology trends. Agilysys has significant intellectual property in the form of proprietary software, solution sets created using third party technologies with its interface and integration offerings, and a highly technical workforce. In HSG, the new property management software, Guest360™, was released for general sale in fiscal 2011. This software will create sales opportunities beyond HSG’s traditional commercial gaming and destination resort hotels in North America. RSG has long been a leader in developing mobile and wireless solutions for retailers. The proliferation of mobility solutions makes RSG uniquely positioned to assist retailers with the transition of their store front technologies to a mobile and wireless centric environment. In TSG, the Company is differentiated from pure fulfillment resellers by its highly technical workforce that continues to create leading data center solutions that reduce customer costs and improve data center performance.

   

Leveraging the Company’s investment in Oracle ERP software to further improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. The Company implemented a new Oracle ERP system for North American operations on April 1, 2010, replacing a legacy distribution IT system that required significant manual processes to meet its regulatory, management, and customer reporting requirements. As new business processes solidify, opportunities to further improve operating efficiencies, working capital management, and customer service will be realized.

In fiscal 2011, the Company began to experience positive demand momentum and higher revenues as a result of its initiative to accelerate software and services volumes, as well as, higher demand for hardware. Net sales increased 6.5% from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011. While the Company’s revenues showed improvement over the prior year, market conditions still reflect uncertainty regarding the overall business environment and demand for IT products and services. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 220 basis points year-over-year as a result of lower vendor rebates and increased pricing pressure. The lower vendor rebates reflect the change in the Sun direct rebate program since their acquisition by Oracle.

Fiscal 2009 was a transitional year for the Company, as the Company’s headquarters were relocated back to Ohio and new leaders stepped into the Company’s executive officer roles. In fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company experienced a slowdown in sales as a result of the softening of the IT market in North America, with net sales decreasing 12.0% year-over-year. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 170 basis points year-over-year to 25.5% at March 31, 2010 versus 27.2% at March 31, 2009, primarily due to lower selling margins and lower vendor rebates as a result of the lower sales volumes during fiscal 2010. The Company recognized a higher proportion of lower margin hardware revenues during fiscal 2010 versus proprietary software and service revenues, for which margins were higher.

In July 2008, the Company decided to exit TSG’s China and Hong Kong businesses. In January 2009, the Company sold the stock of TSG’s China operations and certain assets of TSG’s Hong Kong operations, receiving proceeds of $1.4 million. HSG continues to operate in Hong Kong and China. As disclosed in previous filings, the Company sold KSG in March 2007 and now operates solely as an IT solutions provider. For financial reporting purposes, the current and prior period operating results of TSG’s Hong Kong and China businesses and KSG have been classified within discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the discussion and analysis presented below, including the comparison to prior periods, reflects the continuing business of Agilysys.

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company allocated certain general and administrative costs related to the accounts receivable, collections, accounts payable, legal, payroll, and benefits functional departments to HSG, RSG, and TSG in order to provide a better reflection of the costs needed to operate the business segments. Prior period results have been adjusted to conform to the current period reporting presentation.

On May 28, 2011, the Company agreed to sell TSG to OnX, subject to several contingencies. The remainder of the discussion contained in this MD&A is without consideration to the effect of this anticipated sale, which is expected to occur in the fiscal 2012 second quarter.

Net sales.    The $41.2 million increase in net sales during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 was primarily driven by higher volumes across all the Company’s product and services offerings, with increases of $16.0 million, $16.9 million, and $8.3 million in hardware, software, and services, respectively. These revenue increases reflect a general improvement in customer demand, which benefited HSG and TSG, as well as success in bundling more remarketed software with TSG hardware sales in the current year.

 

21


Table of Contents

HSG’s sales increased $9.6 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 due to increases in hardware, software, and services revenues of $3.1 million, $1.4 million, and $5.1 million, respectively. The increase in HSG’s services revenues is primarily as a result of improved proprietary services demand, particularly in the food services market. RSG’s sales decreased $1.7 million in fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year due to declines in hardware and software revenues of $0.4 million and $2.4 million, which were partially offset by an increase in services revenues of $1.1 million. The decrease in RSG’s hardware and software revenues is primarily due to a

large customer order in fiscal 2010 that did not repeat in fiscal 2011. TSG’s sales increased $33.2 million year-over-year driven by increases of $13.3 million, $17.8 million, and $2.1 million in hardware, software, and services, respectively, due to higher volumes.

Gross margin.    The Company’s total gross margin percentage declined to 23.3% for fiscal 2011 from 25.5% for fiscal 2010, with product gross margins decreasing 230 basis points and services gross margins decreasing 160 basis points. The lower product gross margins resulted from declines in hardware, and to a lesser extent, remarketed software gross margins due to lower vendor rebates and increased pricing pressure. The lower vendor rebates of $7.1 million year-over-year were due to the change in the Sun direct rebate programs since their acquisition by Oracle. Software gross margins for fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010 were also unfavorably impacted by amortization expense of $0.7 million associated with HSG’s Guest 360™ software, which was first made available for sale in June 2010. The decline in services gross margins is primarily due to lower proprietary services, which primarily impacted RSG.

HSG’s gross margin decreased 300 basis points, primarily attributable to lower product gross margins. The decline in HSG’s product gross margins is due to lower proprietary software gross margins, which were unfavorably impacted by the $0.7 million of amortization expense associated with the Guest 360 software, which was made available for sale in June 2010. RSG’s gross margin percentage decreased 180 basis points in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010, primarily due to lower services gross margins. In fiscal 2011, RSG’s services gross margins were unfavorably impacted by higher project related costs. TSG’s gross margin percentage decreased 250 basis points in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. The decrease in TSG’s gross margin percentage was driven by lower product gross margins, which were affected by declines in both hardware and software gross margins, as a result of the reduction in vendor rebates and competitive pricing pressure.

Operating expenses.    The Company’s operating expenses consist of selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, asset impairment charges, and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses increased $6.0 million, or 3.6% in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010. This increase reflects that, during fiscal 2011, the Company expensed maintenance costs totaling $3.3 million related to HSG’s Guest 360 software product and $3.3 million related to the implementation of the Oracle ERP system. Comparable costs were capitalized in the prior year. Payroll-related costs for incentive compensation was $5.3 million higher in fiscal 2011 compared with the prior year due to the higher sales volume in fiscal 2011, as well as, the mix of performance to plan in different reportable business segments and product groups. These increases in SG&A expenses was partially offset by lower acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense of $3.8 million during the same period, as customer and supplier relationship intangible assets related to the Innovative acquisition in fiscal 2008 were fully amortized by June 30, 2009. In addition, in fiscal 2010, the Company applied $1.6 million of the total $3.9 million in proceeds received from the settlement of litigation with CTS as a reimbursement of the attorney fees paid by the Company, which lowered SG&A expenses in 2010.

From a business segment perspective, SG&A expenses increased $4.0 million in HSG, but were partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in TSG. RSG’s operating expenses were relatively flat year-over year. Corporate/Other SG&A expenses increased $3.8 million in fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010. The increase in HSG’s operating expenses was primarily driven by higher payroll-related costs in the current year compared with the prior year. HSG’s payroll-related costs for incentive compensation increased $0.7 million due to the higher sales volume in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2011, HSG also expensed maintenance costs of $3.3 million related to Guest 360, as this software product was released for general sale in June 2010. In fiscal 2010, HSG capitalized $4.2 million of costs related to the development of Guest 360. The decrease in TSG’s SG&A expenses was primarily driven by lower amortization expense for intangible assets, as customer and supplier relationship intangible assets associated with the Company’s acquisition of Innovative in fiscal 2008 were fully amortized as of June 30, 2009. The lower amortization expense in TSG was partially offset by an increase in payroll-related costs primarily for incentives as a result of the higher sales volumes, as well as, the mix of performance to plan in different business lines and product groups. The increase in Corporate/Other SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher professional fees of $4.1 million. Of this increase in professional fees in fiscal 2011, $2.8 million related to the post-implementation efforts of the Oracle ERP system, which was implemented in April 2010. In addition, fiscal 2010 professional fees include the application of $1.6 million of the total $3.9 million in proceeds received from the settlement of the litigation with the former CTS shareholders as reimbursement for reasonable attorney fees paid by the Company.

The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $37.7 million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that certain software developed technology within HSG was no longer being sold. As a result the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million, which impacted HSG. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that it was no longer using certain indefinite-lived intangible assets related to HSG trade names. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.9 million, which impacted HSG. In addition, as a result of the annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, 2011, the Company concluded that impairment indicators existed with respect to certain of its goodwill and intangible assets related to non-competition agreements, customer relationships, and supplier relationships within TSG. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges of $30.1 million related to its goodwill and $6.6 million related to its finite-lived intangible assets, which impacted TSG. In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded total goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $30.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively. These charges are discussed further in Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges and in Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. During fiscal 2010, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $0.3 million, primarily related to capitalized software property and equipment that management determined was no longer being used to operate the business.

The Company recorded restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $0.8 million during fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. The restructuring charges recorded in fiscal 2011 consist of settlement costs of $0.4 million related to the payment of an obligation under the Company’s nonqualified executive retirement defined benefit pension plan for an executive officer (the “SERP”) who was part of the fiscal 2009 restructuring actions, as well as, $0.8 million of costs related to the Canada restructuring. In March 2011, the Company took restructuring actions designed to consolidate its Canadian operations and achieve cost savings, including closing its office in Montreal, Quebec and terminating five employees. In connection with these restructuring actions, the Company recorded $0.8 million in charges for severance costs, which impacted TSG. The lease for the Montreal, Quebec facility expired on April 14, 2011 and was not renewed. No significant additional charges are expected to be incurred with respect to these restructuring actions. The Company expects these restructuring actions to result in annualized cost savings of $1.0 million and expects to fully realize these cost savings in fiscal 2012. The fiscal 2010 restructuring charges primarily consist of settlement costs related to the payment of obligations under the SERP to two executive officers who were part of the restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2009. The Company’s restructuring actions are discussed further in the Restructuring Charges subsection of this MD&A and in Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges.

Other (income) expenses, net.    In fiscal 2011, the $2.3 million in other income primarily included a gain of $2.1 million recorded on the $2.2 million in proceeds received as a death benefit from certain corporate-owned life insurance policies. In fiscal 2010, the $6.2 million in other income primarily included $2.3 million of the total $3.9 million in proceeds received from the settlement of the CTS litigation, which represented the jury’s damages award, $2.5 million of the total $4.8 million in proceeds received as a distribution from The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund, and $0.8 million in gains incurred related to corporate-owned life insurance policies, which are held to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the SERP and other employee benefit plans. These amounts are discussed further in the subsection of this MD&A below titled, Investments, in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Commitments and Contingencies.

Interest income.    The $0.1 million favorable change in interest income from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011 was due to the Company investing its excess cash balances in interest-bearing accounts with banks in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2009, the Company adopted a more conservative investment strategy and maintained this strategy throughout fiscal 2010.

Interest expense.    Interest expense consists of costs associated with the Company’s current credit facility, the amortization of deferred financing fees, loans on corporate-owned life insurance policies, and capital leases. Interest expense increased $0.3 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010. The Company executed its current credit facility on May 5, 2009. Prior to that date, the Company did not have an active credit facility in place since January 20, 2009.

The Company recorded an effective tax rate from continuing operations of (4.1%) in fiscal 2011 compared with a benefit from continuing operations at an effective rate of 323.5% in fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a increase in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred assets. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred assets related to the five-year net operating loss carryback law change and certain foreign refund claims.

Net sales.    The $86.6 million decrease in net sales during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 was primarily driven by declines in both hardware and service revenues due to lower volumes across all products and services offerings, with decreases of $22.4 million, $8.0 million, and $56.2 million in hardware, software, and services, respectively. These revenue decreases reflect a general reduction in customers’ IT spending due to weak macroeconomic conditions, which affected all three reportable business segments.

Table of Contents

HSG’s sales were $16.3 million lower in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 due to decreases of $6.3 million and $10.6 million in software and services revenues, respectively. The decline in HSG’s software and services revenues resulted from soft demand in the destination resort and commercial gaming markets. The decrease in HSG’s software and services revenues was partially offset by a $0.6 increase in hardware revenues due to a large customer sale. RSG’s sales decreased $11.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year due to decreases of $2.8 million, $0.1 million, and $8.1 million in hardware, software, and service revenues, respectively. TSG’s sales fell $59.3 million year-over-year primarily driven by a decrease of $38.2 million in service revenues due to soft demand for high-end proprietary services. TSG’s hardware and software revenues also decreased $19.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During fiscal 2010, both RSG and TSG were impacted by customers’ reluctance to add IT infrastructure projects with pay-back periods longer than 12 months.

Gross margin.    The Company’s total gross margin percentage declined 170 basis points to 25.5% for fiscal 2010 from 27.2% for fiscal 2009. The decrease in the total gross margin percentage year-over-year was primarily due to a lower service margin, which declined to 57.9% in fiscal 2010 from 58.2% in fiscal 2009, driven by lower volumes of proprietary and remarketed services. Product gross margin increased to 16.6% in fiscal 2010 from 15.1% in fiscal 2009, which reflected a favorable mix of products and customers in the current year compared to the prior year.

HSG’s gross margin increased 360 basis points due to lower intangible asset amortization expense, which decreased $1.3 million in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009, as certain developed technology associated with the InfoGenesis acquisition was fully amortized as of December 31, 2008. In addition, HSG’s gross margin was unfavorably impacted in fiscal 2009 due to miscellaneous adjustments to costs of goods sold. RSG’s gross margin percentage decreased 180 basis points in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. TSG’s gross margin percentage decreased 190 basis points in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. RSG and TSG recognized a higher proportion of lower margin hardware revenues during fiscal 2010 versus proprietary service revenues, for which margins were higher.

Operating expenses.    The Company’s operating expenses consist of selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, asset impairment charges, and restructuring charges. SG&A expenses decreased $31.6 million, or 15.9%, in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009. This decrease was primarily due to lower payroll-related costs ($7.2 million), professional fees ($5.7 million), travel and entertainment expenses ($2.4 million), bad debt expense ($2.0 million), amortization expense related to customer and supplier relationship intangible assets ($10.2 million), and other expenses ($4.1million). These declines reflect the realization of cost savings from the restructuring actions and other expense reduction initiatives taken in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. In addition, in fiscal 2010, the Company applied $1.6 million of the total $3.9 million in proceeds received from the settlement of litigation with CTS as a reimbursement of the attorney fees paid by the Company.

From a business segment perspective, SG&A expenses decreased $6.9 million, $3.1 million, and $12.1 million in HSG, RSG, and TSG, respectively. Corporate/Other SG&A expenses decreased $9.5 million in fiscal 2010 compared with fiscal 2009. The reduction in HSG’s operating expenses is primarily a result of decreases in payroll-related expenses of $3.7 million, bad debt expenses of $0.9 million, travel and entertainment expenses of $0.8 million, and other expenses of $1.1 million. The lower compensation costs in HSG were primarily due to the capitalization of costs in connection with the development of the Guest 360 software. RSG’s SG&A expense reduction was primarily related to a decrease in salaries and wages expenses of $1.4 million, bad debt expenses of $1.3 million, and travel and entertainment expenses of $0.3 million. TSG’s SG&A expenses were lower primarily due to decreases of $1.9 million in payroll-related expenses and $9.9 million in intangible asset amortization expenses. Customer and supplier relationship intangible assets associated with the Innovative acquisition were fully amortized as of June 30, 2009. The lower Corporate/Other SG&A expenses primarily resulted from decreases of $1.2 million in payroll-related expenses, $0.7 million in travel and entertainment expenses, $5.4 million in professional fees, and $2.2 million in other expenses, which reflect the realized cost savings from the restructuring actions and other expense reduction initiatives taken in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. The reduction in professional fees in fiscal 2010 includes the application of $1.6 million of the total $3.9 million in proceeds received from the settlement of the litigation with the former CTS shareholders as reimbursement for reasonable attorney fees paid by the Company, combined with other cost containment initiatives. Payroll-related expenses in fiscal 2009 included a $3.5 million benefit from the reversal of share-based compensation expense related to stock options due to a change in the estimated forfeiture rate and the reversal of stock compensation expense related to restricted and performance shares as a result of restructuring actions taken.

The Company recorded asset impairment charges of $0.3 million and $231.9 million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. During fiscal 2010, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $0.3 million, primarily related to capitalized software property and equipment that management determined was no longer being used to operate the business. The asset impairment charges recorded by the Company in fiscal 2009 consist of goodwill impairment charges of $229.5 million, not including goodwill impairment of $16.8 million and $3.8 million in finite-lived intangible asset impairment charges classified within restructuring charges, and an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $2.4 million. The goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges are discussed

The Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.8 million and $40.8 million during fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The fiscal 2010 restructuring charges primarily consist of settlement costs related to the payment of obligations under the SERP to two former executives who were part of the restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2009. The fiscal 2009 restructuring charges consist of $23.5 million recorded during the first two quarters of fiscal 2009 related to the professional services restructuring actions, $13.4 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 related to the third quarter management restructuring actions and relocation of the Company’s headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida to Solon, Ohio, and $3.9 million recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 related to both the third and the fourth quarter management restructuring actions. The Company’s restructuring actions are discussed further in the Restructuring Charges subsection of this MD&A and in Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges.

In fiscal 2009, the $7.2 million in other expenses primarily included $4.6 million in losses incurred related to corporate-owned life insurance policies and $3.0 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges recorded for the Company’s investment in the Primary Fund. These amounts are discussed further in the subsection of this MD&A below titled, Investments, in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Commitments and Contingencies.

Interest income.    The $0.5 million unfavorable change in interest income was due to management’s decision in mid-fiscal 2009 to change to a more conservative investment strategy.

Interest expense.    Interest expense consists of costs associated with the Company’s current and former credit facilities, the former inventory financing arrangement, the amortization of deferred financing fees, loans on corporate-owned life insurance policies, and capital leases. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. In January 2009, the Company terminated its then-existing credit facility and wrote off unamortized deferred financing fees for the previous credit facility of $0.4 million during the third quarter. The Company did not execute its current credit facility until May 2009 and therefore, incurred less amortization expense in fiscal 2010.

Table of Contents

The Company recorded an effective tax rate from continuing operations of 323.5% in fiscal 2010 compared with a benefit from continuing operations at an effective rate of 0.4% in fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred assets related to the five-year net operating loss carryback law change and certain foreign refund claims. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impairment of nondeductible goodwill and an increase in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred tax assets.

On April 1, 2000, the Company implemented a nonqualified defined benefit pension plan for a current executive officer and certain of its former executive officers (the “SERP”). The SERP provides retirement benefits for the participants. The projected benefit obligation recognized by the Company for this plan was $5.7 million at March 31, 2011. On March 25, 2011, the Company terminated the SERP. A former officer of the Company who was part of the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was eligible for early retirement and elected to receive his benefit of approximately $2.5 million in the form of a lump sum distribution in December 2011. Due to limitations imposed by income tax regulations, the remaining SERP obligations totaling approximately $3.2 million will be distributed to participants in March 2012. See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Additional Balance Sheet Information and Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Employee Benefit Plans, for additional information regarding the SERP.

(4)

Other employee benefit obligations consist of an additional service credit obligation related to the SERP and deferred compensation liabilities related to agreements for life insurance benefits (i.e., endorsement split-dollar life insurance) with certain former executives of the Company. The Company entered into an agreement with a former executive, providing him one additional year of service for purposes of calculating benefits under the SERP. Since this agreement was executed outside the SERP, the Company recorded the benefit obligation attributable to the additional service awarded under the agreement as a separate liability. The projected benefit liability for this obligation, which was recognized by the Company was approximately $0.1 million at March 31, 2011. This additional service credit obligation of $0.1 million will be paid to the former executive in fiscal 2012 in conjunction with the related SERP benefits, as a result of the SERP termination described in note (3) above. The Company has agreements with certain former executives that provide the executive’s beneficiary with a life insurance benefit. The Company recognized a liability of approximately $0.3 million, which represents the present value of the future benefits as of March 31, 2010. Since the obligation is not payable to the executive’s beneficiary until the former executive’s death, the timing of the cash outflows is not reasonably determinable and therefore, is not scheduled. See Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Employee Benefit Plans, for additional information regarding the endorsement split-dollar life insurance.

In connection with the sale of KSG, the Company entered into a product procurement agreement (“PPA”) with Arrow. Under the PPA, the Company is required to purchase a minimum of $330 million of products each year through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, adjusted for product availability and other factors. If the Company does not meet the minimum purchase requirements under the PPA, the Company will be required to pay Arrow an amount equal to 1.25% of the shortfall in purchases. This PPA is expected to be assumed by OnX, the acquirer of the TSG business, which is expected to occur in the fiscal 2012 second quarter.

(6)

The Company recorded restructuring liabilities related to the restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2009. See the section to the MD&A titled, Restructuring Charges, and Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges, for additional information regarding these restructuring liabilities.

(7)

The Company has recorded a liability for unrecognized income tax positions at March 31, 2011. Unrecognized tax positions are defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between positions taken on tax returns and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. See Note 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Income Taxes, for further information regarding unrecognized tax positions. The timing of certain potential cash outflows related to these unrecognized tax positions is not reasonably determinable and therefore, is not scheduled.

(8)

The amount of total contractual obligations with maturities greater than one year is not reasonably determinable, as discussed in notes (4) and (7) above.

The Company anticipates that cash on hand, funds from continuing operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to finance capital spending and working capital needs and to service its obligations and other commitments arising during the foreseeable future.

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 primarily consists of lease and rental obligations at March 31, 2011. The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand, availability under the credit facility as discussed below, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet its short-and long-term liquidity requirements. Additional information regarding the Company’s financing arrangements is provided in Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Financing Arrangements.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s total debt was approximately $2.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, comprised of capital lease obligations in both periods.

At March 31, 2011, 100% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in bank accounts. Therefore, the Company believes that credit risk is limited with respect to its cash and cash equivalents balances.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company executed a Loan and Security Agreement dated May 5, 2009 (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the lenders from time to time party thereto (“Lenders”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by the Company’s assets (as defined in the Credit Facility). This Credit Facility replaces the Company’s previous credit facility, which was terminated on January 20, 2009. The Company also maintained an unsecured inventory financing agreement (the “Floor Plan Financing Facility”) with International Business Machines. This Floor Plan Financing Facility was terminated on May 4, 2009, and the Company has funded working capital through open accounts payable provided by its trade vendors.

The Credit Facility provides $50 million of credit (which may be increased to $75 million by a $25 million “accordion provision”) for borrowings and letters of credit and will mature May 5, 2012. The Credit Facility establishes a borrowing base for availability of loans predicated on the level of the Company’s accounts receivable meeting banking industry criteria. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of all borrowings, to the extent not previously repaid, is repayable at maturity. Borrowings also are repayable at such other earlier times as may be required under or permitted by the terms of the Credit Facility. LIBOR Loans bear interest at LIBOR for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%. Base rate loans (as defined in the Credit Facility) bear interest at the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%. Interest is payable on the first of each month in arrears. There is no premium or penalty for prepayment of borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains normal mandatory repayment provisions, representations, and warranties and covenants for a secured credit facility of this type. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default upon the occurrence of which, among other remedies, the Lenders may terminate their commitments and accelerate the maturity of indebtedness and other obligations under the Credit Facility.

The Company’s Credit Facility also contains a loan covenant that restricts total capital expenditures from exceeding $10.0 million in any fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, management determined that in the fourth quarter, the Company would exceed the $10.0 million covenant limit for fiscal 2010 due to capitalized labor related to the development of the company’s new proprietary property management system software, Guest 360™, as well as the acceleration of the time line related to the internal implementation of the new Oracle ERP system. On January 20, 2010, the company obtained a waiver from the Lender increasing the covenant restriction from $10.0 million to $15.0 million for fiscal 2010. The loan covenant restricting total capital expenditures reverted back to the $10.0 million limit for fiscal 2011 and for the remaining fiscal years under the Credit Facility’s term.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and due to availability of eligible accounts receivable, $41.6 million was available for future borrowings. However, at March 31, 2011, the Company would have been and still would be limited to borrowing no more than $26.5 million under the Credit Facility in order to maintain compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. The Company has no intention to borrow amounts under the Credit Facility in the near term. The Company expects to terminate the Credit Facility immediately prior to closing the TSG Sale.

Cash flow provided by operating activities.    The $14.8 million in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2011 was comprised of $55.5 million in losses from continuing operations, $57.1 million in non-cash adjustments to income from continuing operations, and $13.2 million in changes to operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash adjustments to the losses from continuing operations were $37.7 million in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, $14.1 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $3.6 million in share-based compensation expense, and $4.1 million in deferred tax expense, partially offset by a $2.1 million gain on the redemption of corporate-owned life insurance policies. Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $17.9 million increase in accounts receivable and a $6.2 million increase in inventories, which were offset by a $22.8 million increase in accounts payable, a $4.0 million increase in accrued liabilities, and an $8.3 million increase in income taxes payable. The increase in accounts receivable is reflective of an increase in the volume of sales that occurred in March 2011 compared with March 2010. In addition, during fiscal 2011, the Company experienced an increase in the aging of its accounts receivable balances, as days sales outstanding increased to 77 days at March 31, 2011 compared with 69 days at March 31, 2010. However, management believes this increase is related to timing and is not indicative of the credit quality of the Company’s customers. The increases in inventories and accounts payable were also a result of the higher sales volume in March 2011 compared with March 2010. The increase in accrued liabilities was mainly a result of higher payroll-related costs mostly related to incentives and liabilities accrued with respect to the Canadian restructuring. The $8.3 million change in income taxes was primarily a result of $9.7 million in income tax refunds received during fiscal 2011.

The $103.9 million in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2010 was comprised of $3.6 million in income from continuing operations, $24.7 million in non-cash adjustments to income from continuing operations, and $75.6 million in changes to operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash adjustments to income from continuing operations were $16.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $2.4 million in share-based compensation expense, and $6.6 million in deferred tax expense,

partially offset by $2.5 million in gains on the redemption of the investment in The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund and $0.8 million in gains on corporate-owned life insurance policies. Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $49.5 million reduction in accounts receivable, a $12.8 reduction in inventories, and a $41.9 million increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a $18.1 million reduction in accrued liabilities, and a $9.0 million change in income taxes due to income taxes receivable of $10.4 million recorded in fiscal 2010. The decrease in accounts receivable was driven by a lower sales volume and a significant improvement in days’ sales outstanding from 88 days at March 31, 2009 to 69 days at March 31, 2010. The increase in accounts payable reflected the termination and payment of the Company’s inventory financing agreement that was previously used to finance inventory purchases in May 2009 and that was recorded as a financing activity. Going forward, the Company intends to finance inventory purchases through accounts payable without a separate financing facility. The reduction in accrued liabilities was mainly a result of payments made in fiscal 2010 against amounts accrued with respect to restructuring actions taken in fiscal 2009, including $12.0 million in cash paid to settle employee benefit plan obligations.

Cash flow (used for) provided by investing activities.    In fiscal 2011, the $5.7 million in cash used for investing activities was primarily comprised of $16.0 million in proceeds received from the redemption of certain corporate-owned life insurance policies, which were offset by $1.1 million of additional investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies, $13.7 million of additional investments in marketable securities, and $7.0 million for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment. The Company used the proceeds from the redemption of certain corporate-owned life insurance policies to settle employee benefit plan obligations during fiscal 2011 and invested the remainder in marketable securities. The $7.0 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2011 primarily consisted of amounts capitalized with respect to the Company’s development of enhancements related to its new property management software, Guest360™ and additional costs related to the implementation of the Oracle ERP software.

The $2.3 million in cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2010 represented $4.8 million in proceeds received as a distribution of the Company’s investment in The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund and $12.5 million in proceeds from borrowings against corporate-owned life insurance policies, partially offset by $1.7 million in additional investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies and $13.3 million for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment. The Company used the proceeds from amounts borrowed against corporate-owned life insurance policies to settle employee benefit plan obligations during fiscal 2010. The $13.3 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2010 primarily consisted of amounts capitalized with respect to the Company’s development of its new property management software, Guest360™, and implementation of the Oracle ERP software.

Cash flow used for financing activities.    The $0.6 million in cash used for financing activities in fiscal 2011 represented principal payments on capital lease obligations and $0.2 million related to shares withheld for income taxes on the exercise or vesting of stock compensation awards.

The $77.5 million in cash used for financing activities in fiscal 2010 were primarily comprised of $74.5 million in payments on the Company’s previous inventory financing agreement, $1.6 million paid for debt financing costs related to the Company’s current Credit Facility, and $1.4 million in dividends paid.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates & Assumptions

MD&A is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring and contingencies, litigation, and supplier incentives. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The Company’s most significant accounting policies relate to the sale, purchase, and promotion of its products. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. No significant adjustments to the Company’s accounting policies were made in fiscal 2011. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue recognition.    The Company derives revenue from the sale of products (i.e., server, storage, and point of sale hardware, and software) and services. Revenue is recorded in the period in which the goods are delivered or services are rendered and when

 

31


Table of Contents

the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company reduces revenue for estimated discounts, sales incentives, estimated customer returns, and other allowances. Discounts are offered based on the volume of products and services purchased by customers. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. Revenues are recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies.

Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. A majority of the Company’s hardware sales involves shipment directly from its suppliers to the end-user customers. In such transactions, the Company is responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and bears credit risk if the customer does not pay for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold when it is notified by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon receipt at the point of destination.

The Company offers proprietary software as well as remarketed software for sale to its customers. A majority of the Company’s software sales do not require significant production, modification, or customization at the time of shipment (physically or electronically) to the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s software license arrangements do not include acceptance provisions. As such, revenue from both proprietary and remarketed software sales is recognized when the software has been shipped. For software delivered electronically, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer either takes possession of the software via downloading or has been provided with the requisite codes that allow for immediate access to the software based on the U.S. Eastern time zone time stamp.

The Company also offers proprietary and third-party services to its customers. Proprietary services generally include: consulting, installation, integration, training, and maintenance. Revenue relating to maintenance services is recognized evenly over the coverage period of the underlying agreement. Many of the Company’s software arrangements include consulting services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts. When the arrangements qualify as service transactions, consulting revenues from these arrangements are accounted for separately from the software revenues. The significant factors considered in determining whether the revenues should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the software), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments, and the impact of milestones or other customer acceptance criteria on revenue realization. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for consulting services, the revenues are deferred until the uncertainty is resolved.

For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fee arrangements, the Company estimates proportional performance using the hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project consistent with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Accordingly, revenue for these contracts is recognized based on the proportion of the work performed on the contract. If there is no sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, the revenues are recognized when final customer acceptance is received. Adjustments to contract price and estimated service hours are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. The aggregate of billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs is shown as a current asset.

If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software and consulting services, then the software revenues are recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method of accounting. Contract accounting is applied to arrangements that include: milestones or customer-specific acceptance criteria that may affect the collection of revenues, significant modification or customization of the software, or provisions that tie the payment for the software to the performance of consulting services.

In addition to proprietary services, the Company offers third-party service contracts to its customers. In such instances, the supplier is the primary obligor in the transaction and the Company bears credit risk in the event of nonpayment by the customer. Since the Company is acting as an agent or broker with respect to such sales transactions, the Company reports revenue only in the amount of the “commission” (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.    The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk, as well as historical trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers.

Inventories.    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method. The Company’s inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions governing turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. The Company provides a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors including an analysis of historical sales of products and the age of the inventory. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. The carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Should the Company determine that it is not able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets is expensed in the period such determination is made to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company presently records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount (including valuation allowance), an adjustment to the tax valuation allowance would decrease tax expense in the period such determination was made.

The Company records a liability for “unrecognized tax positions,” defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between positions taken on tax returns and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. The Company’s income taxes are described further in Note 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Income Taxes.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets.    Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually. Goodwill is also subject to testing as necessary, if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill, identified intangibles, and other long-lived assets, significant assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets must be made, as well as the related estimated useful lives. The fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation model and observed earnings and revenue trading multiples of identified peer companies. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future as a result of changes in strategy or market conditions, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the period such determination was made. The Company’s goodwill and long-lived assets are described further in Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Restructuring Charges.    The Company recognizes restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of the Company’s business, or the manner in which that business is conducted, is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable. The Company’s restructuring reserves principally include estimates related to employee separation costs and the consolidation and impairment of facilities that will no longer be used in continuing operations. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Determination of the asset impairments is discussed above in Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. Facility reserves are calculated using a present value of future minimum lease payments, offset by an estimate for future sublease income provided by external brokers. Present value is calculated using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate with a maturity equivalent to the lease term.

Valuation of Accounts Payable.    The Company’s accounts payable has been reduced by amounts claimed by vendors for amounts related to incentive programs. Amounts related to incentive programs are recorded as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses, depending on the nature of the program. There is a time delay between the submission of a claim by the Company and confirmation of the claim by our vendors. Historically, the Company’s estimated claims have approximated amounts agreed to by vendors.

Supplier Programs.    The Company receives funds from suppliers for product sales incentives and marketing and training programs, which are generally recorded, net of direct costs, as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses according to the nature of the program. The product sales incentives are generally based on a particular quarter’s sales activity and are primarily formula-based. Some of these programs may extend over one or more quarterly reporting periods. The Company accrues supplier sales incentives and other supplier incentives as earned based on sales of qualifying products or as services are provided in

 

33


Table of Contents

accordance with the terms of the related program. Actual supplier sales incentives may vary based on volume or other sales achievement levels, which could result in an increase or reduction in the estimated amounts previously accrued, and can, at times, result in significant earnings fluctuations on a quarterly basis.

Share-Based Compensation.    The Company has a stock incentive plan under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, time-vested restricted shares, restricted share units, performance-vested restricted shares, and performance shares. Shares issued pursuant to awards under this plan may be made out of treasury or authorized but unissued shares. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan.

The Company records compensation expense related to stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and stock-settled appreciation right awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Sholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of the Company’s common shares. Additional information regarding the assumptions used to value share-based compensation awards is provided in Note 16 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Share-Based Compensation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance addressing the diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. This guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the required supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements, which is effective for the Company on April 1, 2011 for new revenue arrangements or material modifications to existing arrangements. The guidance amends the criteria for separating consideration in arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable based on: 1) vendor-specific objective evidence; 2) third-party evidence; or 3) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands the required disclosures related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. Entities may elect to adopt the guidance through either prospective application for revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date, or through retrospective application to all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements that include software elements, which is effective for the Company on April 1, 2011. The guidance changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software elements and non-software elements as follows: 1) the tangible product element is always excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance even when sold together with the software element; 2) the software element of the tangible product element is also excluded from the software revenue guidance when the software and non-software elements function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality; and 3) undelivered elements in a revenue arrangement related to the non-software element are also excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance. Entities must select the same transition method and same period for the adoption of both this guidance and the guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements.

Business Combinations

Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited – Fiscal 2009

On April 9, 2008, the Company acquired all of the shares of Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited (“Triangle”), the UK-based reseller and specialist for the Company’s InfoGenesis products and services for $2.7 million, comprised of $2.4 million in cash and $0.3 million of assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the results of operations for Triangle have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements from that date forward. Triangle enhanced the Company’s international presence and growth strategy in the UK, as well as solidified the Company’s leading position in the hospitality, stadium, and arena markets without increasing InfoGenesis’ ultimate customer base. Triangle also added to the Company’s hospitality solutions suite with the ability to offer customers the Triangle mPOS solution, which is a handheld point-of-sale solution which seamlessly integrates with InfoGenesis products. Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired (accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable), approximately $2.7 million was originally assigned to goodwill. Due to purchase price adjustments to increase goodwill by $0.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and to decrease goodwill by $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, as well as the cumulative impact of favorable foreign currency fluctuations of $0.4 million, the goodwill attributed to the Triangle acquisition is $3.1 million at March 31, 2011. Goodwill that resulted from the Triangle acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Discontinued Operations

TSG’s China and Hong Kong Operations – Fiscal 2009

In July 2008, the Company decided to discontinue its TSG operations in China and Hong Kong. As a result, the Company classified TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations as held-for-sale and discontinued operations, and began exploring divestiture opportunities for these operations. Agilysys acquired TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations in December 2005. During January 2009, the Company sold the stock related to TSG’s China operations and certain assets of TSG’s Hong Kong operations, receiving proceeds of $1.4 million, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on the sale of discontinued operations of $0.8 million. The remaining unsold assets and liabilities related to TSG’s Hong Kong operations, which primarily consisted of amounts associated with service and maintenance agreements, were substantially settled as of March 31, 2010. TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations were reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented.

Restructuring Charges

Canada Restructuring.    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company took restructuring actions designed to consolidate its Canadian operations and achieve cost savings, including closing its office in Montreal, Quebec and terminating five employees. In connection with these restructuring actions, the Company recorded $0.8 million in charges for severance costs, which impacted TSG. The lease for the Montreal, Quebec facility expired on April 14, 2011 and was not renewed. No significant additional charges are expected to be incurred with respect to these restructuring actions. The Company expects these restructuring actions to result in annualized cost savings of $1.0 million and expects to be fully realize these cost savings in fiscal 2012.

First and Second Quarters Fiscal 2009 Professional Services Restructuring.    During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company performed a detailed review of the business to identify opportunities to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. As part of this cost reduction effort, management reorganized the professional services go-to-market strategy by consolidating its management and delivery groups, resulting in a workforce reduction that was mainly comprised of service personnel. The Company will continue to offer specific proprietary professional services, including identity management, security, and storage virtualization; however, it will increase the use of external business partners. A total of $23.5 million in restructuring charges were recorded during fiscal 2009 ($23.1 million and $0.4 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively) for these actions. The costs related to one-time termination benefits associated with the workforce reduction ($2.5 million and $0.4 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively), and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges ($20.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009), which related to the Company’s fiscal 2005 acquisition of CTS. Payment of these one-time termination benefits was substantially complete in fiscal 2009. The entire $23.5 million restructuring charge relates to TSG.

In connection with the restructuring actions taken in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company expected to realize $14.0 million in annual future cost savings. The Company expected to realize and actually realized $3.5 million of those benefits per quarter beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The $14.0 million in annual cost savings were fully realized in fiscal 2010.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2009 Management Restructuring.    During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company took steps to realign its cost and management structure. During October 2008, the Company’s former Chairman, President and CEO announced his retirement. In addition, four Company vice presidents, as well as other support personnel, were terminated. The Company also relocated its headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida, to Solon, Ohio, where the Company has a facility with a large number of employees, and cancelled the lease on its financial interests in two airplanes. These actions resulted in restructuring charges totaling $13.4 million in fiscal 2009, comprised mainly of termination benefits for the above-mentioned management changes and the costs incurred to relocate the corporate headquarters. Also included in the restructuring charges was a non-cash charge for a curtailment loss of $4.5 million under the Company’s SERP. An additional $0.2 million expense was incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of an impairment to the leasehold improvements at the Company’s former headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. These restructuring charges are included in Corporate/Other.

In connection with the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company expected to realize $8.0 million in annual future cost savings. The Company expected to realize $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. However, due to the timing of transitioning certain personnel, the Company only realized $1.8 million in benefits during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company actually realized $2.0 million in savings per quarter beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and fully realized the $8.0 million in annual benefits in fiscal 2010.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2009 Management Restructuring.    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company took additional steps to realign its cost and management structure. An additional four Company vice presidents, as well as other support and sales personnel, were terminated during the quarter. These actions resulted in a restructuring charge of $3.7 million during the quarter, comprised mainly of termination benefits for the above-mentioned management changes. Also included in the restructuring charges was a non-cash charge for a curtailment loss of $1.2 million under the Company’s SERP. These restructuring charges are included in Corporate/Other.

In connection with the restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company expected to realize and actually realized $1.0 million in quarterly future cost savings beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The $4.0 million in annual cost savings were fully realized in fiscal 2010.

During fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an additional $0.8 million in restructuring charges associated with the restructuring actions taken in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. The additional restructuring charges were primarily comprised of non-cash settlement charges related to the payment of obligations under the Company’s SERP to two former executives.

During fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an additional $0.4 million in restructuring charges associated with the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The additional restructuring charges were primarily comprised of non-cash settlement charges related to the payment of an obligation under the Company’s SERP to a former executive.

The restructuring actions discussed above resulted in restructuring charges totaling $1.2 million, $0.8 million, and $40.8 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company expects to incur additional net restructuring charges of approximately $10,000 between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2014 for non-cash settlement charges related to the expected payment of a SERP obligation to a former executive and for ongoing facility obligations.

Investments

The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund

At September 30, 2008, the Company had $36.2 million invested in the Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund. Due to liquidity issues associated with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, Inc., the Primary Fund temporarily ceased honoring redemption requests, but the Board of Trustees of the Primary Fund subsequently voted to liquidate the assets of the fund and approved a distribution of cash to the investors. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had received $31.0 million of the investment, with $5.2 million remaining in the Primary Fund. As a result of the delay in cash distribution, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the remaining $5.2 million was reclassified from “Cash and cash equivalents” to investments in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and, accordingly, the reclassification was presented as a cash outflow from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, the Company estimated and recognized impairment charges totaling 8.3% of its original investment in the fund for losses that may occur upon the liquidation of the Primary Fund. The impairment charges recognized during fiscal 2009 totaled $3.0 million and were classified in “Other (income) expenses, net” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During fiscal 2010, the Company received additional distributions totaling $4.8 million from the Primary Fund and presented the distributions as a cash inflow from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Company recognized gains related to these distributions totaling $2.5 million within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During fiscal 2011, the Company received additional distributions totaling $0.1 million from the Primary Fund and presented the distributions as a cash inflow from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Company recognized gains related to these distributions totaling $0.1 million within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a remaining uncollected balance of its Primary Fund investment totaling $0.4 million, for which a reserve was previously recorded in fiscal 2009. The Company is unable to estimate the timing of future distributions, if any, from the Primary Fund.

Investments in Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies and Marketable Securities

The Company invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities primarily to satisfy future obligations of certain employee benefit plans. Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies were held in a Rabbi Trust and were classified within “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s investment in corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value, at the balance sheet date. The Company took loans totaling $12.5 million against these policies in fiscal 2010 and used the proceeds for the payment of obligations under the SERP. The Company was not obligated to repay and did not repay these loans. The aggregate cash surrender value of these life insurance policies was $12.8 million (net of policy loans totaling $12.5 million) at March 31, 2010. In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded $2.2 million in proceeds as a death benefit from the corporate-owned life insurance policies and recognized a gain of $2.1 million, which is classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also in fiscal 2011, the Company surrendered the remaining company-owned life insurance policies held within the Rabbi Trust, receiving proceeds of $13.7 million, which was equal to their net cash surrender value on the surrender date. These proceeds were re-invested in marketable equity securities, which are also held within the Rabbi Trust.

Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies are endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The Company entered into a separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby the Company splits a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive’s designated beneficiary. At March 31, 2010, the Company recognized a charge of $0.3 million related to these benefit obligations based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and including assumptions with respect to discount rates and mortality. This expense was classified within “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability, which was $0.3 million at both March 31, 2011 and 2010, was recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts was $3.3 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) and $3.1 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded losses of 0.2 million, gains of $0.8 million, and losses of $4.6 million in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2009, respectively, related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies.

The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities are held within the Rabbi Trust and classified as available for sale. However, these investments are restricted by the terms of the Rabbi Trust agreement and may only be used to satisfy the benefit obligations of the Company’s nonqualified benefit plans or to satisfy the obligations of the Company’s general creditors under an insolvency. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s marketable securities was $13.7 million and $21,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which was classified within “Prepaid and other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. During fiscal 2011, sales proceeds were $14,000 and there were no realized gains or losses. During fiscal 2010, sales proceeds and realized losses were $61,000 and $91,000, respectively. During fiscal 2009, sales proceeds and realized gains were $0.1 million and $24,000, respectively. The Company used the sales proceeds in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2009 to pay for the cost of actuarial and professional fees related to the employee benefit plans. At March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in other comprehensive income.

Investment in Magirus — Sold in November 2008

In November 2008, the Company sold its 20% ownership interest in Magirus, a privately owned European enterprise computer systems distributor headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, for $2.3 million. In July 2008, the Company received a dividend from Magirus of $7.3 million, related to Magirus’ fiscal 2008 sale of a portion of its distribution business. As a result, the Company received total proceeds of $9.6 million from Magirus in fiscal 2009. Prior to March 31, 2008, the Company decided to sell its 20% investment in Magirus. Therefore, the Company classified its ownership interest in Magirus as an investment held for sale until it was sold in November 2008.

On April 1, 2008, the Company began to account for its investment in Magirus using the cost method, rather than the equity method of accounting. The Company changed to the cost method because it did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Magirus, which is one of the requirements contained in the FASB authoritative guidance that is necessary to account for an investment in common stock under the equity method of accounting.

Because of the Company’s inability to obtain and include audited financial statements of Magirus for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the SEC stated that it will not permit effectiveness of any new securities registration statements or post-effective amendments, if any, until such time as the Company files audited financial statements that reflect the disposition of Magirus or the Company requests, and the SEC grants, relief to the Company from the requirements of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. As part of this restriction, the Company is not currently permitted to file any new securities registration statements that are intended to automatically go into effect when they are filed, nor can the Company make offerings under effective registration statements or under Rules 505 and 506 of Regulation D where any purchasers of securities are not accredited investors under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. These restrictions do not apply to the following: offerings or sales of securities upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities or upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or rights; dividend or interest reinvestment plans; employee benefit plans, including stock option plans; transactions involving secondary offerings; or sales of securities under Rule 144A.

Risk Control and Effects of Foreign Currency and Inflation

The Company extends credit based on customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the Consolidated Financial Statements when collections are in doubt.

The Company sells products and services internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency on operating results did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the 2011, 2010, or 2009 fiscal years.

The Company believes that inflation has had a nominal effect on its results of operations in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 and does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in fiscal 2012.

Forward Looking Information

This Annual Report contains certain management expectations, which may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking information speaks only as to the date of this Annual Report and may be identified by use of words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “continues,” “seeks,” or the negative of those terms or similar expressions. Many important factors could cause actual results to be materially different from those in forward-looking information including, without limitation, competitive factors, disruption of supplies, changes in market conditions, pending or future claims or litigation, or technology advances. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of cost reductions, expected benefits and outcomes from our recent ERP implementation, business strategies, future financial results, unanticipated downturns to our relationships with customers and macroeconomic demand for IT products and services, unanticipated difficulties integrating acquisitions, new laws and government regulations, interest rate changes, consequences related to the concentrated ownership of our outstanding shares by MAK Capital, unanticipated deterioration in economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world or the consequences, and uncertainties associated with the proposed sale of the Company’s TSG business to OnX Enterprise Solutions, including uncertainties related to the anticipated timing of filings and approvals relating to the transaction, the expected timing of completion of the transaction, and the ability to complete the transaction.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company has assets, liabilities, and cash flows in foreign currencies creating foreign exchange risk. Systems are in place for continuous measurement and evaluation of foreign exchange exposures so that timely action can be taken when considered desirable. Reducing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is an integral part of the Company’s risk management program. Financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts are employed, when deemed necessary, as one of the methods to reduce such risk. There were no foreign currency exchange contracts executed by the Company during fiscal years 2011, 2010, or 2009. At March 31, 2011, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.

As discussed within Liquidity and Capital Resources in the MD&A, on January 20, 2009, the Company terminated its five-year $200 million revolving credit facility. At the time of the termination, there were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility. Therefore, the Company did not have a revolving credit facility in place at March 31, 2009. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility in fiscal years 2009 or 2008. On May 5, 2009, the Company entered into a new $50 million revolving credit facility. There were no amounts outstanding on the new credit facility as of March 31, 2011 or 2010. While the Company is exposed to interest rate risk from the floating-rate pricing mechanisms on its new revolving credit facility, it does not expect interest rate risk to have a significant impact on its business, financial condition, or results of operations during fiscal 2012.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a Company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011 based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Agilysys, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2011. Our audits also included the accompanying financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Agilysys, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 14, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

report of Ernst & Young LLP independent registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Agilysys, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2011 and our report dated June 14, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Table amounts in thousands, except per share data and Note 16)

1.

OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Operations.    Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Agilysys”) provides innovative IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers with special expertise in select vertical markets, including retail, hospitality, and technology solutions. The Company operates extensively in North America and has sales offices in the United Kingdom and in Asia.

The Company has three reportable segments: Hospitality Solutions Group (“HSG”), Retail Solutions Group (“RSG”), and Technology Solutions Group (“TSG”). Additional information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is discussed in Note 13, Business Segments.

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, fiscal 2011 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Principles of consolidation.    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to continuing operations.

Use of estimates.    Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation.    The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations whose functional currencies are not in U.S. dollars are translated at the period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the fiscal year. The cumulative translation effects are reflected as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on monetary transactions denominated in other than the functional currency of an operation are reflected within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency gains and losses from changes in exchange rates have not been material to the consolidated operating results of the Company.

Related party transactions.    In connection with the move of its headquarters from Florida to Ohio during fiscal year 2009, the Company provided relocation assistance to an executive officer who was required to relocate. This relocation assistance included costs related to temporary housing, commuting expenses, sales and broker commissions, moving expenses, costs to maintain the executive’s former residence while it was on the market and the loss, if any, associated with the sale of the executive’s former residence. For more information, refer to the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2009, in the Company’s 2009 Proxy Statement under the heading, “Executive Compensation.”

All related person transactions with the Company require the prior approval of or ratification by the Company’s Audit Committee. In October 2009, the Board adopted Related Person Transaction Procedures to formalize the procedures by which the Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies related person transactions. The procedures set forth the scope of transactions covered, the process for reporting such transactions, and the review process. Through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Company makes a formal yearly inquiry of all of its executive officers and directors for purposes of disclosure of related person transactions, and any such newly revealed related person transactions are conveyed to the Audit Committee. All officers and directors are charged with updating this information with the Company’s internal legal counsel.

Segment reporting.    Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Operating segments may be aggregated for segment reporting purposes so long as certain aggregation criteria are met. With the divestiture of the Company’s KeyLink Systems Distribution Business (“KSG”) in fiscal 2007, the continuing operations of the Company represented one business segment that provided IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers. In fiscal 2008, the Company evaluated its business groups and developed a structure to support the Company’s strategic direction as it transformed to a

pervasive solution provider largely in the North American IT market. With this transformation, the Company now has three reportable segments: HSG, RSG, and TSG. See Note 13 for a discussion of the Company’s segment reporting.

Revenue recognition.    The Company derives revenue from the sale of products (i.e., server, storage, and point of sale hardware, and software) and services. Revenue is recorded in the period in which the goods are delivered or services are rendered and when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company reduces revenue for estimated discounts, sales incentives, estimated customer returns, and other allowances. Discounts are offered based on the volume of products and services purchased by customers. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. Revenues are presented net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies.

Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. A majority of the Company’s hardware sales involves shipment directly from its suppliers to the end-user customers. In such transactions, the Company is responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and bears credit risk if the customer does not pay for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold when it is notified by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon receipt at the point of destination.

The Company offers proprietary software as well as remarketed software for sale to its customers. A majority of the Company’s software sales do not require significant production, modification, or customization at the time of shipment (physically or electronically) to the customer. Substantially all of the Company’s software license arrangements do not include acceptance provisions. As such, revenue from both proprietary and remarketed software sales is recognized when the software has been shipped. For software delivered electronically, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer either takes possession of the software via downloading or has been provided with the requisite codes that allow for immediate access to the software based on the U.S. Eastern time zone time stamp.

The Company also offers proprietary and third-party services to its customers. Proprietary services generally include: consulting, installation, integration, training, and maintenance. Revenue relating to maintenance services is recognized evenly over the coverage period of the underlying agreement. Many of the Company’s software arrangements include consulting services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts. When the arrangements qualify as service transactions, consulting revenues from these arrangements are accounted for separately from the software revenues. The significant factors considered in determining whether the revenues should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the software), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments, and the impact of milestones or other customer acceptance criteria on revenue realization. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for consulting services, the revenues are deferred until the uncertainty is resolved.

For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fee arrangements, the Company estimates proportional performance using the hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project consistent with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Accordingly, revenue for these contracts is recognized based on the proportion of the work performed on the contract. If there is no sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, the revenues are recognized when final customer acceptance is received. Adjustments to contract price and estimated service hours are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. The aggregate of billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs is shown as a current asset.

If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software and consulting services, then the software revenues are recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method of accounting. Contract accounting is applied to arrangements that include: milestones or customer-specific acceptance criteria that may affect the collection of revenues, significant modification or customization of the software, or provisions that tie the payment for the software to the performance of consulting services.

In addition to proprietary services, the Company offers third-party service contracts to its customers. In such instances, the supplier is the primary obligor in the transaction and the Company bears credit risk in the event of nonpayment by the customer. Since the Company is acting as an agent or broker with respect to such sales transactions, the Company reports revenue only in the amount of the “commission” (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale.

Share-based compensation.    The Company has a stock incentive plan under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, time-vested restricted shares, restricted share units, performance-vested restricted shares, and performance shares. Shares issued pursuant to awards under this plan may be made out of treasury or authorized but unissued shares. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan.

The Company records compensation expense related to stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and stock-settled appreciation right awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Sholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of the Company’s common shares. Additional information regarding the assumptions used to value stock-based compensation awards is provided in Note 16, Share-Based Compensation.

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock incentive awards exercised or vested (i.e., excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additional information regarding the excess tax benefits related to stock incentive awards is provided in Note 16, Share-Based Compensation.

Earnings per share.    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and adjusting income available to common shareholders for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, as necessary. The dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding are computed by sequencing each series of issues of potential common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings per share is determined as the lowest earnings per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares. When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted earnings per share is not adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive (loss) income.    Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net (loss) income, as currently reported under GAAP, plus other comprehensive (loss) income. Other comprehensive (loss) income considers the effects of additional transactions and economic events that are not required to be recorded in determining net (loss) income, but rather are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011 are as follows:

Fair value measurements.    The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. In determining fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the Company uses various valuation techniques. Additional information regarding fair value measurements is provided in Note 17, Fair Value Measurements.

Cash and cash equivalents.    The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents with no established maturity date are fully redeemable on demand (without penalty) with settlement of principal and accrued interest on the following business day after instruction to redeem. Such investments are readily convertible to cash with no penalty.

Concentrations of credit risk.    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable is mitigated by the Company’s large number of customers and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The Company extends credit based on customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the Company also performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. In addition, the Company does not expect any party to fail to perform according to the terms of its contract.

In fiscal 2011, Verizon Communications, Inc. represented 23% of Agilysys total sales and 32% of TSG’s total sales. In fiscal 2010, Verizon Communications, Inc. represented 27% of Agilysys total sales and 39% of TSG’s total sales. In fiscal 2009, Verizon Communications, Inc. represented 23% of Agilysys total sales and 33% of TSG’s total sales.

Allowance for doubtful accounts.    The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as historic trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers.

Inventories.    The Company’s inventories are comprised of finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method. The Company’s inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to the lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions such as turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. The Company provides a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors, including an analysis of historical sales of products and the age of the inventory. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated.

Investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities.    The Company invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities primarily to satisfy future obligations of its employee benefit plans, including a benefit equalization plan (“BEP”) and supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”). Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies were held in a Rabbi Trust and were classified within “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s investment in corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value, at the balance sheet date. The Company took loans totaling $12.5 million against these policies in fiscal 2010 and used the proceeds for the payment of obligations under its SERP. The Company was not obligated to repay and did not repay these loans. The aggregate cash surrender value of these life insurance policies was $12.8 million (net of policy loans totaling $12.5 million) at March 31, 2010. In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded $2.2 million in proceeds as a death benefit from the corporate-owned life insurance policies and recognized a gain of $2.1 million, which is classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also in fiscal 2011, the Company surrendered the remaining company-owned life insurance policies held within the Rabbi Trust, receiving proceeds of $13.7 million, which was equal to their net cash surrender value on the surrender date. These proceeds were re-invested in marketable equity securities, which are also held within the Rabbi Trust.

Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies are endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The Company entered into a non-cancelable separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby the Company must maintain the life insurance policy for the specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive’s designated beneficiary. At March 31, 2010, the Company recognized a charge of $0.3 million related to these benefit obligations based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and including assumptions with respect to discount rates and mortality. This expense was classified within “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability, which was $0.3 million at both March 31, 2011 and 2010, was recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts, which were classified within “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $3.3 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) and $3.1 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded losses of $0.2 million, gains of 0.8 million, and losses of $4.6 million in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2009, respectively, related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies.

The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities are held within the Rabbi Trust and classified as available for sale. However, these investments are restricted by the terms of the Rabbi Trust agreement and may only be used to satisfy the benefit obligations of the Company’s nonqualified benefit plans or to satisfy the obligations of the Company’s general creditors under an insolvency. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s marketable securities was $13.7 million and $21,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which was classified within “Prepaid and other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. During fiscal 2011, sales proceeds were $14,000 and there were no realized gains or losses. During fiscal 2010, sales proceeds and realized losses were $61,000 and $91,000, respectively. During fiscal 2009, sales proceeds and realized gains were $0.1 million and $24,000, respectively. The Company used the sales proceeds in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2009 to pay for the cost of actuarial and professional fees related to the employee benefit plans. At March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in other comprehensive income.

Goodwill.    Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually. Goodwill is also subject to testing as necessary, if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test on February 1st of each fiscal year. As a result of the analysis performed on February 1, 2011, indicators of impairment arose with respect to the Company’s goodwill. Therefore, the Company initiated a “step-two” analysis to measure the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of each reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value. The fair value of each reporting unit was calculated using discounted cash flow analyses and weighted average costs of capital of 16.0% to 25.5%, depending on the risks of the various reporting units. Based on the results of the “step-two” analysis, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $30.1 million, which were classified within “Asset impairment charges” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As a result of the analysis performed on February 1, 2010, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of the recorded goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, impairment indicators arose with respect to the Company’s goodwill. Therefore, during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company also initiated a “step-two” analysis. The fair value of each reporting unit was calculated using discounted cash flow analyses and weighted average costs of capital of 15.5% to 23.5%, depending on the risks of the various reporting units. This “step-two” analysis was not complete as of June 30, 2008. Therefore, the Company recognized an estimated impairment charge of $33.6 million as of June 30, 2008, pending completion of the analysis. This amount did not include $16.8 million in goodwill impairment related to the acquisition of CTS Corporation (“CTS”) that was classified within “Restructuring charges” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The “step-two” analysis was updated and completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, resulting in the Company recognizing an additional goodwill impairment charge of $112.0 million.

The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of February 1, 2009 and updated the analyses performed in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that a further impairment of goodwill had occurred. As a result, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $83.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Total goodwill impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2009 were $229.5 million, not including the $16.8 million classified within restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Except for the impairment charges classified within restructuring charges, the goodwill impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2009 were classified within “Asset impairment charges” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

There were no new impairment indicators at March 31, 2011. Additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill and impairment analyses is provided in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and Note 17, Fair Value Measurements.

Intangible assets.    Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are primarily amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. Purchased intangible assets relating to customer relationships and supplier relationships are being amortized using an accelerated or straight-line method, which reflects the period the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the Company. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from six months to ten years. The Company has an indefinite-lived intangible asset relating to purchased trade names. The indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that certain software developed technology within HSG was no longer being sold. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.1 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that it was no longer using certain indefinite-lived intangible assets related to HSG trade names. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.9 million. In conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test on February 1, 2011, the Company concluded that certain of its intangible assets related to non-competition agreements, customer

relationships, and supplier relationships within TSG were fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges of $6.6 million related to these finite-lived intangible assets. The total impairment charges recorded with respect to intangible assets during fiscal 2011 of $7.6 million charges were classified within “Asset impairment charges” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As a result of the annual impairment test performed on February 1, 2010, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of its finite-lived or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Additional information regarding the Company’s intangible assets and impairment analyses is provided in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and Note 17, Fair Value Measurements.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, management took actions to realign its cost structure. These actions included a $3.8 million impairment charge related to the Company’s customer relationship intangible asset that was classified within “Restructuring charges” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring actions are described further in Note 4, Restructuring Charges. Then, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of February 1, 2009 (discussed below), the Company concluded that an impairment existed. As a result, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.4 million related to the indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Long-lived assets.    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, as are interest costs on capital projects. Minor replacements, maintenance, repairs, and reengineering costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capital leases, which make up less than one percent of total assets, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for depreciation and amortization are as follows: buildings and building improvements — 7 to 30 years; furniture — 7 to 10 years; equipment — 3 to 10 years; software — 3 to 10 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the economic life or the lease term. Internal use software costs are expensed or capitalized depending on the project stage. Amounts capitalized are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years, beginning with the project’s completion. Capitalized project expenditures are not depreciated until the underlying project is completed. Total depreciation expense on property and equipment was $4.7 million, $3.9 million, and $4.0 million during fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Total amortization expense on capitalized internal-use software was $3.9 million, $3.5 million, and $3.1 million during fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. During fiscal 2010, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $0.3 million, primarily related to capitalized software property and equipment that management determined was no longer being used to operate the business. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company concluded that no additional impairment indicators existed.

Valuation of accounts payable.    The Company’s accounts payable has been reduced by amounts claimed from vendors for returns and other amounts related to certain incentive programs. Amounts related to incentive programs are recorded as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses, and are recorded as a reduction of accounts payable to the vendor or, within accounts receivable as a receivable from the vendor depending on the nature of the program. There is a time delay between the submission of a claim by the Company and confirmation of the claim by our vendors. Historically, the Company’s estimated claims have approximated amounts agreed to by vendors.

Supplier programs.    The Company participates in certain programs provided by various suppliers that enable it to earn volume incentives. These incentives are generally earned by achieving quarterly sales targets. The amounts earned under these programs are recorded as reductions of cost of sales when earned. In addition, the Company receives incentives from suppliers related to cooperative advertising allowances and other programs. These incentives generally relate to agreements with the suppliers and are recorded, when earned, as a reduction of cost of sales or advertising expense, as appropriate. All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed in the year incurred. Cooperative reimbursements from suppliers, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Advertising and product promotional expenses, net of cooperative reimbursements received totaled $1.2 million, $0.9 million, and $2.2 million during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Concentrations of supplier risk.    Sales of products and services from the Company’s three largest original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) accounted for 49%, 53% and 61% of the Company’s sales volume during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009. Sales of products and services sourced through Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) accounted for 15%, 18% and 28% of the Company’s sales volume in fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Sales of products and services sourced through

Table of Contents

Hewlett-Packard Corporation (“HP”) accounted for 17%, 16% and 16% of the Company’s sales volume in fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Sales of products and services sourced through International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) accounted for 17%, 19% and 17% of the Company’s sales volume in fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The loss of any of the top three OEMs or a combination of certain other OEMs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition unless alternative products manufactured by others are available to the Company. In addition, although the Company believes that its relationships with OEMs are good, there can be no assurance that the Company’s OEMs will continue to supply products on terms acceptable to the Company.

Income taxes.    Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers such factors as (a) expectations of future taxable income, (b) expectations of material changes in the present relationship between income reported for financial and tax purposes, and (c) tax-planning strategies.

The Company records a liability for “unrecognized tax positions,” defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between positions taken on tax returns and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. The Company’s income taxes are described further in Note 10.

Recently adopted accounting standards.    In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding fair value measurements. This guidance requires additional disclosure within the roll forward of activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of assets and liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 17 for definitions of the fair value hierarchy levels). In addition, this guidance requires enhanced disclosures of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements within Levels 2 and 3. The new disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. On April 1, 2010, the Company adopted the required provisions of this guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by FASB on business combinations. The guidance modifies the accounting for business combinations by requiring that acquired assets and assumed liabilities be recorded at fair value, contingent consideration arrangements be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition, and pre-acquisition contingencies will generally be accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. The guidance also requires that transaction costs be expensed as incurred, acquired research and development be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and the requirements for exit and disposal activities be met at the acquisition date in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB that changes the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests. The guidance modifies the reporting for noncontrolling interests in the balance sheet and minority interest income (loss) in the income statement. The guidance also requires that increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount be accounted for as equity transactions. The adoption of the guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on subsequent events. The guidance provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The guidance provides, (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (b) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (c) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The guidance requires an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim

reporting periods, as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative GAAP. The Company modified its disclosures to comply with the requirements. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recently issued accounting standards.    In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance regarding when to perform a “step-two” goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance amends the criteria for performing “step-two” of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing a “step-two” analysis if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance addressing the diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. This guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This guidance also expands the required supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements, which is effective for the Company on April 1, 2011 for new revenue arrangements or material modifications to existing arrangements. The guidance amends the criteria for separating consideration in arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable based on: 1) vendor-specific objective evidence; 2) third-party evidence; or 3) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands the required disclosures related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. Entities may elect to adopt the guidance through either prospective application for revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date, or through retrospective application to all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements that include software elements, which is effective for the Company on April 1, 2011. The guidance changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software elements and non-software elements as follows: 1) the tangible product element is always excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance even when sold together with the software element; 2) the software element of the tangible product element is also excluded from the software revenue guidance when the software and non-software elements function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality; and 3) undelivered elements in a revenue arrangement related to the non-software element are also excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance. Entities must select the same transition method and same period for the adoption of both this guidance and the guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverable elements. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements.

Reclassifications.    Certain fiscal 2010 and 2009 product and service revenues and costs of sales were reclassified (no impact on total gross margin) in order to conform to current period reporting presentations. Certain fiscal 2010 and 2009 amounts related to corporate-owned life insurance policies were reclassified to conform to current period reporting presentation (no impact on income from continuing operations or cash flows (used for) provided by operations).

Correction of Error.    During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an adjustment to increase income tax expense by $3.8 million. The adjustment increased the Company’s valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets and represents a correction of an error. In fiscal 2009, the Company erroneously considered the tax effect of indefinite-lived intangible assets as a source of future taxable income, when it established a significant U.S. valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. Income (loss) before income taxes did not change. Net loss increased by $3.8 million, or $0.17 per share, due to this adjustment. Management performed an evaluation under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 and concluded the effect of this adjustment was immaterial to prior years’ financial statements as well as the full-year fiscal 2011 financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited – Fiscal 2009

On April 9, 2008, the Company acquired all of the shares of Triangle Hospitality Solutions Limited (“Triangle”), the UK-based reseller and specialist for the Company’s InfoGenesis products and services for $2.7 million, comprised of $2.4 million in cash and $0.3 million of assumed liabilities. Accordingly, the results of operations for Triangle have been included in these Consolidated Financial Statements from that date forward. Triangle enhanced the Company’s international presence and growth strategy in the UK, as well as solidified the Company’s leading position in the hospitality, stadium, and arena markets without increasing InfoGenesis’ ultimate customer base. Triangle also added to the Company’s hospitality solutions suite with the ability to offer customers the Triangle mPOS solution, which is a handheld point-of-sale solution which seamlessly integrates with InfoGenesis products. Based on management’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired (accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable), approximately $2.7 million was originally assigned to goodwill. Due to purchase price adjustments to increase goodwill by $0.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and to decrease goodwill by $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, as well as the cumulative impact of favorable foreign currency translation of $0.4 million, the goodwill attributed to the Triangle acquisition is $3.1 million at March 31, 2011. Goodwill resulting from the Triangle acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

TSG’s China and Hong Kong Operations – Fiscal 2009

In July, 2008, the Company made the decision to discontinue its TSG operations in China and Hong Kong. As a result, the Company classified TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations as held-for-sale and discontinued operations, and began exploring divestiture opportunities for these operations. Agilysys acquired TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations in December 2005. As a result of this decision, the Company wrote-off goodwill associated with TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations totaling $0.9 million in fiscal 2009. During January 2009, the Company sold the stock related to TSG’s China operations and certain assets of TSG’s Hong Kong operations, receiving proceeds of $1.4 million, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on the sale of discontinued operations of $0.8 million. The remaining unsold assets and liabilities related to TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations, which primarily consisted of amounts associated with service and maintenance agreements, were substantially settled as of March 31, 2010. TSG’s China and Hong Kong operations were reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented.

Sale of Assets and Operations of KeyLink Systems Distribution Business – Fiscal 2007

During fiscal 2007, the Company sold the assets and operations of KSG for $485.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. Through the sale of KSG, the Company exited all distribution-related businesses and now exclusively sells directly to end-user customers. By monetizing the value of KSG, the Company significantly increased its financial flexibility and redeployed the proceeds in efforts 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. Income from discontinued operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 includes the settlement of obligations and contingencies of KSG that existed as of the date the assets and operations of KSG were sold.

Under the PPA, the Company is required to purchase a minimum of $330 million of products each fiscal year during the term of the agreement (5 years), adjusted for product availability and other factors. This obligation is expected to be assumed by the buyer of the TSG business, should the transaction described in Note 19 be successful.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Fiscal 2011 Restructuring Activity

Canada Restructuring.    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company took restructuring actions designed to consolidate its Canadian operations and achieve cost savings, including closing its office in Montreal, Quebec and terminating five employees. In connection with these restructuring actions, the Company recorded $0.8 million in charges for severance costs, which impacted TSG. The lease for the Montreal, Quebec facility expired on April 14, 2011 and was not renewed. No significant additional charges are expected to be incurred with respect to these restructuring actions.

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Activity

First and Second Quarters Professional Services Restructuring.    During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company performed a detailed review of the business to identify opportunities to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. As part of this cost reduction effort, management reorganized the professional services go-to-market strategy by consolidating its management and delivery groups, resulting in a workforce reduction that was comprised mainly of service personnel. The Company will continue to offer specific proprietary professional services, including identity management, security, and storage virtualization; however, it will increase the use of external business partners. A total of $23.5 million in restructuring charges were recorded during fiscal 2009 ($23.1 million and $0.4 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively) for these actions. The costs related to one-time termination benefits associated with the workforce reduction ($2.5 million and $0.4 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively), and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges ($20.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009), which related to the Company’s fiscal 2005 acquisition of The CTS Corporations (“CTS”). Payment of these one-time termination benefits was substantially complete in fiscal 2009. The entire $23.5 million restructuring charge relates to TSG.

Third Quarter Management Restructuring.    During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company took steps to realign its cost and management structure. During October 2008, the Company’s former Chairman, President and CEO announced his retirement. In addition, four Company vice presidents, as well as other support personnel, were terminated. The Company also relocated its headquarters from Boca Raton, Florida, to Solon, Ohio, where the Company has a facility with a large number of employees, and cancelled the lease on its financial interests in two airplanes. These actions resulted in restructuring charges totaling $13.4 million as of December 31, 2008, comprised mainly of termination benefits for the above-mentioned management changes and the costs incurred to relocate the corporate headquarters. Also included in the restructuring charges was a non-cash charge for a curtailment loss of

$4.5 million under the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). An additional $0.2 million expense was incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of an impairment to the leasehold improvements at the Company’s former headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. These restructuring charges are included in Corporate/Other.

Fourth Quarter Management Restructuring.    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company took additional steps to realign its cost and management structure. An additional four Company vice presidents, as well as other support and sales personnel, were terminated during the quarter. These actions resulted in a restructuring charge of $3.7 million during the quarter, comprised mainly of termination benefits for the above-mentioned management changes. Also included in the restructuring charges was a non-cash charge for a curtailment loss of $1.2 million under the Company’s SERP. These restructuring charges are included in Corporate/Other.

During fiscal 2010, the Company recorded an additional $0.8 million in restructuring charges associated with the restructuring actions taken in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. The additional restructuring charges were primarily comprised of non-cash settlement charges related to the payment of obligations under the Company’s SERP to two former executives.

During fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an additional $0.4 million in restructuring charges associated with the restructuring actions taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The additional restructuring charges were primarily comprised of non-cash settlement charges related to the payment of an obligation under the Company’s SERP to a former executive.

The restructuring actions discussed above resulted in restructuring charges totaling $1.2 million, $0.8 million and $40.8 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company expects to incur additional net restructuring charges of approximately $10,000 between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2014 for non-cash settlement charges related to the expected payment of a SERP obligation to a former executive and for ongoing facility obligations.
