PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
           
o
    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
       
      (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Company is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 at this time because the Company is examining whether it has been properly recognizing revenue from certain software contracts dating back as far as 2004 and earlier. The contracts at issue include both a license of software and related maintenance and support. Specifically, the Company is reviewing, in consultation with its public accountants, whether the Company should have recognized the entire value of the bundled contract as revenue over the period for which maintenance and support may be provided to the customer. The approach being considered is different from the Company’s historical practice of recognizing the fair value of the software principally in the initial year of the contract and the fair value of the maintenance over the maintenance period.
As of the date hereof, this review has not yet been completed, and accordingly, the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 have not been finalized, and KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not completed their review of those financial statements.
SEC 1344 (03-05)   Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.
