NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Datawatch Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 filed with the SEC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management,
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the full year. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before
the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require
additional disclosure.
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an on-going basis,
that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular,
significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns
reserve, useful lives of property and equipment, and the valuation of net deferred tax assets, acquired intellectual property,
other intangible assets and share-based awards.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue allocated to software
products, specified upgrades and enhancements is recognized upon delivery of the related product, upgrades or enhancements. Revenue
is allocated by vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value to post-contract customer support (primarily
maintenance) and is recognized ratably over the term of the support, and revenue allocated using VSOE to service elements (primarily
training and consulting) is recognized as the services are performed. The residual method of revenue recognition is used for multi-element
arrangements when the VSOE of the fair value does not exist for one of the delivered elements. Under the residual method, the arrangement
fee is recognized as follows: (1) the total fair value of the undelivered elements, as supported by VSOE, is deferred and subsequently
recognized as such items are delivered or completed and (2) the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount allocated
to the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements.
The Company licenses its
software products directly to end-users, through value added resellers and through distributors. Sales to distributors and resellers
accounted for approximately
32%
and 23% of total sales for the three months ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenue from the sale of all software products is generally recognized
at the time of shipment, provided there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fee is fixed or determinable,
collectability is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists and there are no significant obligations remaining.
All of the Company’s
7
software product
offerings are considered to be “off-the-shelf” as such term is customarily defined. The Company’s software
products can be installed and used by customers on their own with little or no configuration required. Multi-user licenses
marketed by the Company are sold as a right to use the number of licenses, and the license fee revenue is recognized upon
delivery of all software required to satisfy the number of licenses sold. Upon delivery, the licensing fee is payable
without further delivery obligations to the Company.
Datawatch software products
are generally sold in multiple element arrangements which may include software licenses, professional services and post-contract
customer support. In such multiple element arrangements, the Company applies the residual method in determining revenue to be allocated
to the software license. In applying the residual method, the Company deducts from the sale proceeds the VSOE of fair value of
the professional services and post-contract customer support in determining the residual fair value of the software license. The
VSOE of fair value of the services and post-contract customer support is based on the amounts charged for these elements when sold
separately. Professional services include implementation, integration, training and consulting services with revenue recognized
as the services are performed. These services are generally delivered on a time and materials basis, are billed on a current basis
as the work is performed, and generally do not involve modification or customization of the software or any unusual acceptance
clauses or terms. The Company has established VSOE of fair value for the majority of its professional services using the bell-shaped
curve method. Post-contract customer support is typically provided under a maintenance agreement which provides technical support
and rights to unspecified software maintenance updates and bug fixes on a when-and-if available basis. Revenue from post-contract
customer support services is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of support (generally one year). Such deferred amounts
are recorded as part of deferred revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has established
VSOE of fair value for the majority of its post-contract customer support based on stated renewal rates only if the rate is determined
to be substantive and falls within the Company’s customary pricing practices. VSOE of fair value for post-contract
customer support through the Company’s
distribution channel was established using the bell-shaped curve method. VSOE calculations are updated and reviewed quarterly.
The Company also licenses
its enterprise software using a subscription model. At the time a customer enters into a binding agreement to purchase a subscription,
the customer is invoiced for an initial 90 day service period and an account receivable and deferred revenue are recorded. Beginning
on the date the software is installed at the customer site and available for use by the customer, and provided that all other criteria
for revenue recognition are met, the deferred revenue amount is recognized ratably over the period the service is provided. The
customer is then invoiced every 90 days and revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the subscription. The subscription
arrangement includes software, maintenance and unspecified future upgrades on a when and if available basis including major version
upgrades. The subscription renewal rate is the same as the initial subscription rate. Subscriptions can be cancelled by the customer
at any time by providing 90 days prior written notice following the first year of the subscription term.
The Company’s software
products are sold under warranty against certain defects in material and workmanship for a period of 30 days from the date of purchase.
The Company also offers a 30 day money-back guarantee on its Monarch product sold directly to end-users. Additionally, the Company
provides its distributors with stock-balancing rights. Revenue from the sale of software products to distributors and resellers
is recognized at the time of shipment providing all other criteria for revenue recognition as stated above are met and (i) the
distributor or reseller is unconditionally obligated to pay for the products, including no contingency as to product resale, (ii)
the distributor or reseller has independent economic substance apart from the Company, (iii) the Company is not obligated for future
performance to bring about product resale, and (iv) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s
experience and history with its distributors and resellers allows for reasonable estimates of future returns. Among other things,
estimates of potential future returns are made based on the inventory levels at, and the returns history with, the various distributors
and resellers, which the Company monitors frequently.
8
Share-Based Compensation
All share-based awards,
including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their
fair value at date of grant.
The
Company recognizes the fair value of share-based awards over the requisite service period of the individual awards, which
generally equals the vesting period. All of the Company’s share-based awards are accounted for as equity instruments
and there have been no liability awards granted to date. See additional share-based compensation disclosure in Note 5 to the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risks and
Major Customers
The Company licenses
its products and services to U.S. and non-U.S. distributors and other software resellers, as well as to end users, under
customary credit terms. One distributor, Lifeboat Distribution, individually accounted for
23%
and 6% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, Lifeboat
Distribution accounted for
22%
and 19% of total accounts receivable at December
31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company licenses to Lifeboat Distribution under a distribution agreement
which automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated. In addition to Lifeboat Distribution, one
additional customer, United Health Group, individually accounted for approximately 24% of total revenue for the three months
ended December 31, 2011, which included 19% of sales directly to United Health Group and 5% of sales to United Health Group
through a reseller. Also, one additional customer, Unisys Belgium, individually accounted for 24% of total accounts
receivable at September 30, 2012. Other than these two customers, no other customer constitutes a significant portion (more
than 10%) of revenues or accounts receivable for the periods presented. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances are provided for anticipated doubtful accounts and sales
returns based on management’s review of receivables, inventory and historical trends.
Capitalized Software Development
Costs
The Company capitalizes
certain software development costs as well as purchased software upon achieving technological feasibility of the related products.
Software development costs incurred and software purchased prior to achieving technological feasibility are charged to engineering
and product development expense as incurred. Commencing upon initial product release, capitalized costs are amortized to cost of
software licenses using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the product (which approximates the ratio that current
gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product), which is generally
18 to 24 months. The net amount of capitalized software development costs was approximately $21,000 and $30,000 at December 31,
2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during the three months
ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company capitalized approximately $43,000 of software
development costs related to new products in development.
Intangible Asset – Intellectual
Property
On March 30, 2012, the
Company acquired intellectual property which consisted primarily of the source code underlying its Monarch Professional and
Datawatch Data Pump products for a purchase price of $8,541,000. Additionally, the Company capitalized approximately $75,000 in
closing costs and adjustments related to the acquisition. The intellectual property assets are being amortized to cost of software
licenses using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which is five years. Amortization expense related
to the intellectual property assets for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $431,000. The estimated future amortization
expense related to the intellectual property is as follows (in thousands):

Other Intangible Assets
Other
intangible assets consist of internally developed software, patents and customer lists acquired through business combinations.
The values allocated to the majority of these intangible assets
are amortized using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and are recorded in cost of software licenses. The values allocated
to customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and
are recorded in sales and marketing expenses. The values allocated to loan acquisition costs are amortized using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the related asset and are recorded in interest (expense) income and other income, net.
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recoverable and an impairment loss is recognized when it is probable that the estimated cash flows are less
than the carrying amount of the asset.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are
provided for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and operating loss carryforwards and credits. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce the net deferred tax assets to amounts the Company believes are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company follows the
accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum
threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on
derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents
include cash on hand, cash deposited with banks and highly liquid securities consisting of money market investments with original
maturities of 90 days or less.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price
that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy.
·
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the
measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
·
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not
active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs
are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
·
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the
fair value measurement and unobservable.

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

Note 3 – Financing Arrangements
Revolving Line of Credit
In connection with the
acquisition of intellectual property disclosed in Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, on
March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $2.0 million revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”),
pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB. On March 30, 2012, the Company borrowed $1.5 million under this revolving credit
facility. The Company repaid $600,000 under the line of credit in September 2012. The revolving line of credit under the SVB facility
terminates on March 29, 2014. On that date, the principal amount of all advances then outstanding under the revolving line and
all unpaid interest thereon will become due and payable. The principal amount outstanding under the revolving line accrues interest
at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.5% above the prime rate, with the prime rate having a floor under the SVB agreement of
3.25%. The Company can borrow under the SVB revolving line of credit based on a formula percentage of its accounts receivable balance.
Additionally, the SVB facility requires that the Company maintain certain net asset and net income ratios. The Company was in compliance
with the covenants under its Loan and Security Agreement at December 31, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the SVB facility
are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than intellectual property. The principal amount outstanding
under the revolving line of credit at December 31, 2012 was $900,000.
Subordinated Note and Warrants
Also in connection with
the intellectual property acquisition, on March 30, 2012, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Massachusetts
Capital Resource Company (“MCRC”), the terms of which include a $4.0 million subordinated note and warrants for 185,000
shares of the Company’s common stock. The subordinated note issued to MCRC has a maturity date of February 28, 2019, with
interest due monthly on the unpaid principal amount of the note at the rate of 10% per annum in arrears. The subordinated note
also
12
contains interest rate premiums on any optional redemption of principal payments during the first three years of the note
agreement. The Company is also required under the MCRC agreement to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios. The
Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement at December 31, 2012.
Future principal payments
related to the subordinated note are as follows (in thousands):

The warrants issued to
MCRC are exercisable at any time prior to the later of the repayment in full of the MCRC note or February 28, 2019 at a purchase
price per share of $11.54, which is equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 45 trading days
prior to the issuance of the warrants on March 30, 2012. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject
to adjustment in connection with stock splits and other events impacting the Company’s common stock generally, however, the
warrants do not provide the holder with any anti-dilution protection.
The Company accounted
for the borrowing under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement in accordance with the guidance prescribed in the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 470-20,
“Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock
Purchase Warrants”
(“ASC 470-20”). In accordance with ASC 470-20, the value of the stock purchase warrants
is considered an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) which is required to be amortized over the life of the note as interest
expense with a corresponding credit to notes payable. The fair value of the warrants on March 30, 2012, as determined under the
Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820,
“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”
(“ASC 820”),
was approximately $1.1 million which is included in Additional Paid in Capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance
sheets at December 31, 2012. The Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrants which
included the following key assumptions: the expected life of the warrants (7 years), stock price volatility (68.18%), risk-free
interest rate (1.61%) and dividend yield (0%).
The unamortized debt discount
at December 31, 2012 was $978,000 which will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the subordinated note which is seven
years. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, interest expense related to the warrants was approximately $39,000.
Note 4 – Income Taxes
During the three months
ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $6,000 related to uncertain tax positions relative to foreign taxes, $5,000 related
to estimated federal alternative minimum taxes and recorded a $2,000 credit related to state income tax adjustments. During the
three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded $19,000 related to estimated state taxes, $13,000 related to estimated
federal alternative minimum taxes and $6,000 related to uncertain tax positions relative to foreign taxes.
13
Deferred Tax Assets
The Company’s deferred
tax assets include net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits that expire at different times through and until 2031. Significant
judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the carrying value of deferred tax assets and
liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Factors such as future reversals of deferred
tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, changes in enacted tax rates and the period over which the Company’s
deferred tax assets will be recoverable are considered in making these determinations. Management does not believe the deferred
tax assets are more likely than not to be realized and a full valuation allowance has been provided against the deferred tax assets
at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
Provision
for Uncertain Tax Positions
At
September 30, 2012, the Company had a cumulative tax liability of $200,000 related to foreign tax exposure that could result in
cash payments, of which approximately $6,000 was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The Company increased
its tax liability by $6,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the
Company released a portion of its reserve for uncertain tax positions and recorded a benefit of $2,000 for the quarter. The Company
does not expect its tax liability to change significantly during the next twelve months. The Company’s policy is to recognize
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in its consolidated statements of
operations. To date, the Company has not accrued any amounts for interest and penalties associated with this liability as such
amounts have been de minimis.
The
Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (before consideration of any valuation allowance) represent differences between tax positions
taken by the Company in its various consolidated and separate worldwide tax returns and the benefits recognized and measured for
uncertain tax positions. This amount also represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably
affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods. The change in the unrecognized tax benefits during the three months
ended December 31, 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such
jurisdictions as the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Australia, and the United States, and as a result, files numerous consolidated
and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The fiscal years
ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2011 are generally still open to examination in the jurisdictions listed above.

The Company’s stock
compensation plans provide for the granting of restricted stock units and either incentive or non-qualified stock options to employees
and non-employee directors. Options and restricted stock units are subject to terms and conditions determined by the Compensation
and Stock Committee of the Board of Directors. Options generally vest over a three year period beginning three months from the
date of grant and expire either seven or ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units generally vest annually over
a three year period.
Stock Options
The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options on the date of grant. The key assumptions for this valuation method
include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. No options were granted
under the stock option plans for the three months ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. The total intrinsic value of options exercised
during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $450,000 and $39,000, respectively. Total cash received
from option exercises during the three months ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $119,000. As of December 31, 2012, there
was $193,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option arrangements, which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 1.35 years.
Many of the assumptions
used in the determination of compensation expense are judgmental and highly volatile. The expected option life is based on historical
trends and data. With regard to the expected option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants
and models the pattern of aggregate exercises. Patterns are determined on specific criteria of the aggregate pool of optionees
including the reaction to vesting, realizable value and short-time-to-maturity effect. The Company uses an expected stock-price
volatility assumption that is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock which are obtained from public data
sources. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the historical U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bond rate with a remaining term
equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses a dividend yield of zero which is based on the fact that the Company
has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Based on the Company’s historical voluntary
turnover rates, an annualized estimated forfeiture rate of 10% has been used in calculating the estimated cost. Additional expense
will be recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and a recovery of prior expense will be recorded if the
actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company periodically
grants awards of restricted stock units (“RSU”) to each of its non-employee directors and some of its management team
and employees on a discretionary basis pursuant to its stock compensation plans. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive, at the
end of each vesting period, a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The total number of RSUs unvested
at December 31, 2012 was 588,749. Each RSU vests at the rate of 33.33% on each of the first through third anniversaries of the
grant date with final vesting of the most recent grants scheduled to occur in December 2015. Included in the total number of RSUs
unvested at December 31, 2012 are 158,009 RSUs which are subject to a further vesting condition that the Company’s common
stock must trade at a price greater than $10 per share on a national securities exchange for a period of twenty consecutive days
prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, 233,900 RSUs with the same $10 per share market price vesting condition on or
prior to the fourth anniversary of the grant date, 136,000 RSUs with a $17.50 per share market price vesting condition on or prior
to the fourth anniversary of the grant date, 8,500 RSUs with a $20 per share market price vesting condition on or prior to the
fourth anniversary of the grant date and 19,000 RSUs with a $22.50 per share market price vesting condition on or prior to the
fourth anniversary of the grant date. The Company’s common stock has satisfied both the $10 per share market price vesting
condition and the $17.50 per share market price vesting condition for the grants summarized above. For such RSUs, the Company performed
fair value analysis using the Monte Carlo option-pricing model. The fair value related to the RSUs was calculated based primarily
on the average stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and is being amortized evenly on a pro-rata
basis over the vesting period to sales and marketing, engineering and product development and general and administrative expense.
The fair values of the RSUs granted in the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were approximately $2,347,000
(or $18.41 fair value per share) and $22,000 (or $4.41 fair value per share). The Company recorded compensation expense related
to RSUs of approximately $536,000 and $104,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts
are included in the total share-based compensation expense disclosed above. As of December 31, 2012, there was approximately $5.6
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
of 2.5 years.

Note 6 - Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss)
Per Share
Basic net income (loss)
per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the impact, when dilutive, of the exercise of stock options and the vesting
of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012
is the same as basic net loss per share as the potentially dilutive securities are all anti-dilutive.
There were no potentially
dilutive common stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2012. Potentially dilutive common stock options aggregating
12,500 shares for the three months ended December 31, 2011 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss)
per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive restricted stock units aggregating 155,744 for the
three months ended December 31, 2012 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive restricted stock units for the three months ended December
31, 2011. There were no potentially dilutive warrants for the three months ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
Prior to the acquisition
of intellectual property on March 30, 2012, as disclosed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company
was obligated to pay royalties ranging from 7% to 50% on revenue generated by the sale of certain licensed software products. Additionally,
the Company pays royalties under arrangements with vendors related to sales of its Datawatch Report Manager on Demand and Datawatch
Dashboards products. Royalty expense included in cost of software licenses was approximately $35,000 and $511,000, respectively,
for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company is not obligated to pay any minimum amounts for royalties. As
a result of the acquisition of the intellectual property, the Company is no longer required to pay royalties related to its Monarch
Professional and Datawatch Data Pump products.
From time to time, the
Company is subject to claims and may be party to actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is not party
to any litigation that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.
Note 8 - Segment Information
The Company has determined
that it has only one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, does
not manage any part of the Company separately, and the allocation of resources and assessment of performance is based solely on
the Company’s consolidated operations and operating results.
