Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements discussed in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (which Sections were adopted as part of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. Forward-looking statements are often identified by future or conditional words such as “will”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, or “anticipates”, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include, among others:

•

risks relating to the filing of our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports, including the occurrence of known contingencies or unforeseen events that could delay our future filings, management distraction, and significant expense;

•

risks that our credit rating could be downgraded or placed on a credit watch based on, among other things, our financial results or delays in the filing of our periodic reports;

•

risks associated with being a consolidated, controlled subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc. (“Comverse”) and formerly part of Comverse’s consolidated tax group, including risk of any future impact on us resulting from Comverse’s special committee investigation and restatement or related effects, and risks related to our dependence on Comverse to provide us with accurate financial information, including with respect to stock-based compensation expense and net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), for our financial statements;

•

uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic conditions, particularly in information technology spending, on our business;

•

risks that our financial results will cause us not to be compliant with the leverage ratio covenant under our credit facility or that any delays in the filing of future SEC reports could cause us not to be compliant with the financial statement delivery covenant under our credit facility;

	•		risks that customers or partners delay or cancel orders or are unable to honor contractual commitments due to liquidity issues, challenges in their business, or otherwise;
	•		risks that we will experience liquidity or working capital issues and related risk that financing sources will be unavailable to us on reasonable terms or at all;

•

uncertainties regarding the future impact on our business of our now concluded internal investigation, restatement, and extended filing delay, including customer, partner, employee, and investor concern, and potential customer and partner transaction deferrals or losses;

•

risks relating to the remediation or inability to adequately remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and relating to the proper application of highly complex accounting rules and pronouncements in order to produce accurate SEC reports on a timely basis;

•

risks relating to our implementation and maintenance of adequate systems and internal controls for our current and future operations and reporting needs;

•

risks of possible future restatements if the processes used to produce the financial statements contained in our SEC reports are inadequate;

•

risks associated with future regulatory actions or private litigations relating to our internal investigation, restatement, or previous delays in filing required SEC reports;

•

risks that we will be unable to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market;

•

risks associated with Comverse controlling our board of directors and a majority of our common stock (and therefore the results of any significant stockholder vote);

•

risks associated with significant leverage resulting from our current debt position;

•

risks due to aggressive competition in all of our markets, including with respect to maintaining margins and sufficient levels of investment in the business and with respect to introducing quality products which achieve market acceptance;

•

risks created by continued consolidation of competitors or introduction of large competitors in our markets with greater resources than us;

•

risks associated with significant foreign and international operations, including exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates;

•

risks associated with complex and changing local and foreign regulatory environments;

•

risks associated with our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in all geographies in which we operate;

	•		challenges in accurately forecasting revenue and expenses;
	•		risks associated with acquisitions and related system integrations;

•

risks relating to our ability to improve our infrastructure to support growth;

•

risks that our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business or that others may make claims on our intellectual property or claim infringement on their intellectual property rights;

•

risks associated with a significant amount of our business coming from domestic and foreign government customers;

•

risks that we improperly handle sensitive or confidential information or perception of such mishandling;

•

risks associated with dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain components of our products;

•

risks that we are unable to maintain and enhance relationships with key resellers, partners, and systems integrators; and

•

risks that use of our tax benefits may be restricted or eliminated in the future.

These risks, uncertainties, and challenges, as well as other factors, are discussed in greater detail in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the filing date of this report. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended January 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2010, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods shown. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2010 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended January 31, 2010. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Verint”, “we”, “our”, and “us” and words of similar import as used in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements include Verint Systems Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verint Systems Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, and a joint venture in which we hold a 50% equity interest. This joint venture functions as a systems integrator for Asian markets and is a variable interest entity in which we are the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we have less than a 20% ownership interest and do not exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost. We include the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions, which may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Implemented:

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. In February 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to this guidance that removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this standard, as amended, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, requiring a company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis requires a company to assess whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity and if it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. This standard requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and significantly enhances disclosures. The standard may be applied retrospectively to previously issued financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first year restated. This standard was effective for us for the fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These disclosure requirements are effective in two phases. The initial phase, effective for us as of February 1, 2010, requires enhanced disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The second phase, effective for us as of February 1, 2011, is further discussed below.

New Standards to be Implemented:

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance that applies to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance also provides principles and application guidance on whether a revenue arrangement contains multiple deliverables, how the arrangement should be separated, and how the arrangement consideration should be allocated. The guidance requires an entity to allocate revenue in a multiple-deliverable arrangement using estimated selling prices of the deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price. It eliminates the use of the residual method and, instead, requires an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. It also expands disclosure requirements with respect to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.

Also in October 2009, the FASB issued guidance related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that contain both software and hardware elements, focusing on determining which revenue arrangements are within the scope of existing software revenue guidance. This additional guidance removes tangible products from the scope of the software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are within the scope of the software revenue guidance. This revenue recognition guidance, and the guidance discussed in the preceding paragraph, should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. It will be effective for us in our fiscal year beginning February 1, 2011, although early adoption is permitted. Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt the provisions of these issues on a retrospective basis. We are assessing the impact that the application of this new guidance, and the guidance discussed in the preceding paragraph, may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These disclosure requirements are effective in two phases. The initial phase, as previously discussed, was effective for us in our fiscal year beginning February 1, 2010. The second phase, effective for us as of February 1, 2011, will require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). We are assessing the impact that the application of this new guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Verint Systems Inc.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Verint Systems Inc. for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009:

		Three Months Ended July 31,								Six Months Ended July 31,

4. Business Combination

On February 4, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary, Verint Americas Inc., acquired all of the outstanding shares of Iontas Limited (“Iontas”), a privately held provider of desktop analytics solutions. Prior to this acquisition, we licensed certain technology from Iontas, whose solutions measure application usage and analyze workflows to help improve staff performance in contact center, branch, and back-office operations environments. We acquired Iontas, among other objectives, to expand the desktop analytical capabilities of our workforce optimization solutions. We have included the financial results of Iontas in our condensed consolidated financial statements since February 4, 2010.

We acquired Iontas for total consideration valued at $21.9 million, including cash consideration of $17.9 million, and additional milestone-based contingent payments of up to $3.8 million, tied to certain performance targets being achieved over the next two years.

We recorded the acquisition-date estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of $3.2 million as a component of the purchase price of Iontas. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration was measured based on the probability-adjusted present value of the contingent consideration expected to be earned and transferred. The fair value of the contingent consideration was remeasured as of July 31, 2010 at $3.3 million, and the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration between the acquisition date and July 31, 2010 is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our purchase price to acquire Iontas also includes $1.5 million of prepayments for product licenses and support services procured from Iontas prior to the acquisition date, partially offset by $0.7 million of trade accounts payable to Iontas as of the acquisition date.

The following table sets forth the components and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price of Iontas. We are continuing to evaluate certain assets and liabilities of Iontas using information known to us at the acquisition date, and therefore may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining additional information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of previous estimates.

Total purchase price		$	21,866

Among the factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill in this transaction were the expansion of our desktop analytical capabilities, the expansion of our suite of products and services, and the addition of an assembled workforce. This goodwill has been assigned to our Workforce Optimization segment, and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Transaction costs, primarily professional fees, directly related to the acquisition of Iontas, totaled $1.3 million, including $0.5 million incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2010, and were expensed as incurred.

The pro forma impact of the Iontas acquisition is not material to our historical consolidated operating results and is therefore not presented. Revenues from Iontas for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 were also not material.

5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

We test our goodwill for impairment at least annually as of November 1, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. No events or circumstances indicating the potential for goodwill impairment were identified during either the six months ended July 31, 2010 or the six months ended July 31, 2009.

6. Long-term Debt

On May 25, 2007, to partially finance the acquisition of Witness Systems Inc. (“Witness”), we entered into a $675.0 million secured credit agreement comprised of a $650.0 million seven-year term loan facility and a $25.0 million six-year revolving line of credit. Our $25.0 million revolving line of credit was effectively reduced to $15.0 million during the quarter ended October 31, 2008, in connection with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the related termination of its revolving commitment under the credit agreement in June 2009. During the quarter ended January 31, 2009, we borrowed the full $15.0 million then available under the revolving line of credit. As discussed further below, the borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit was increased to $75.0 million in July 2010. The revolving line of credit and term loan mature in May 2013 and May 2014, respectively.

The following is a summary of our outstanding financing arrangements as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010:

		July 31,				January 31,
(in thousands)		2010				2010
Term loan facility		$	583,234			$	605,912
Revolving line of credit			15,000				15,000
			598,234				620,912
Less: current portion			—				22,678
Long-term debt		$	598,234			$	598,234

In May 2010, we made a $22.1 million mandatory “excess cash flow” payment of the term loan, based upon our operating results for the year ended January 31, 2010, $12.4 million of which is being applied to the eight immediately following principal payments and $9.7 million of which will be applied pro rata to the remaining principal payments.

The credit agreement includes a requirement that we submit audited consolidated financial statements to the lenders within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2010. Should we fail to deliver such audited consolidated financial statements as required, the agreement provides a thirty day period to cure such default, or an event of default occurs.

In April 2010, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement to extend the due date for delivery of audited consolidated financial statements and related documentation for the year ended January 31, 2010 from May 1, 2010 to June 1, 2010. In consideration for this amendment, we paid $0.9 million to our lenders. This payment is being amortized as additional interest expense over the remaining term of the credit agreement using the effective interest method. Legal fees and other out-of-pocket costs directly relating to the amendment, which were expensed as incurred, were not significant.

In July 2010, the credit agreement was further amended to, among other things, (a) change the calculation of the applicable interest rate margin to be based on our periodic consolidated leverage ratio, (b) designate a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor of 1.50%, (c) change certain negative covenants, including providing covenant relief with respect to the permitted consolidated leverage ratio, and (d) increase the revolving line of credit from $15.0 million to $75.0 million. The commitment fee for unused capacity under the revolving line of credit was increased from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum.

The credit agreement contains one financial covenant that requires us to meet a certain consolidated leverage ratio, defined as our consolidated net total debt divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the agreement, for the trailing four quarters. The consolidated leverage ratio could not exceed 3.50:1 for the period ended July 31, 2010. As amended in July 2010, the consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50:1 for all periods through October 31, 2011, and cannot exceed 3.00:1 for all quarterly periods thereafter.

In consideration for the July 2010 amendments, we paid $2.6 million to our lenders. These payments are being amortized as additional interest expense over the remaining term of the credit agreement using the effective interest method. Legal fees and other out-of-pocket costs directly relating to these amendments, which were expensed as incurred, were not significant.

Substantial modifications of credit terms require assessment to determine whether the modifications should be accounted for and reported in the same manner as a formal extinguishment of the prior arrangement and replacement with a new arrangement, with the potential recognition of a gain or loss on the extinguishment. The July 2010 credit agreement amendments were assessed under applicable accounting guidance and determined to be modifications of the prior arrangement, not requiring extinguishment accounting.

On May 25, 2007, concurrently with entry into our credit facility, we entered into a receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a multinational financial institution with a notional amount of $450.0 million to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with variable interest rates on the term loan. The original term of the interest rate swap extended through May 2011. However, on July 30, 2010, we entered into an agreement to terminate the interest rate swap in exchange for a payment of $21.7 million to the counterparty, representing the approximate present value of the expected remaining quarterly settlement payments we otherwise would have owed under the agreement. This payment was made on August 3, 2010. We recorded a $1.5 million loss on the interest rate swap for the three months ended July 31, 2010. See Note 11, “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments” for further details regarding the interest rate swap agreement.

We incurred interest expense on borrowings under our credit agreement of $4.9 million and $10.3 million during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively, and $5.7 million and $11.5 million during the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, respectively. We also recorded amortization of our deferred debt issuance costs of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, reported within interest expense, during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively, inclusive of a $0.3 million write-off associated with the $22.1 million term loan principal payment in May 2010. Amortization of our deferred debt issuance costs during the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 was $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

As of July 31, 2010, the interest rates on the term loan and the revolving line of credit borrowings were 5.25% and 6.00%, respectively. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit borrowings reset to 5.25% as of August 4, 2010. The interest rate on both the term loan and the revolving line of credit borrowings was 3.49% as of January 31, 2010. The higher interest rates as of July 31, 2010 reflect, among other things, the impact of the July 2010 amendments discussed above.

7. Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 25, 2007, in connection with our acquisition of Witness, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Comverse, whereby Comverse purchased, for cash, an aggregate of 293,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $293.0 million. Proceeds from the issuance of the preferred stock were used to partially finance the acquisition.

The terms of the preferred stock provide that upon a fundamental change, as defined, the holders of the preferred stock would have the right to require us to repurchase the preferred stock for 100% of the liquidation preference then in effect. Therefore, the preferred stock has been classified as mezzanine equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, separate from permanent equity, because the occurrence of these fundamental changes, and thus potential redemption of the preferred stock, however remote in likelihood, is not solely under our control. Fundamental change events include the sale of substantially all of our assets and certain changes in beneficial ownership, board of directors’ representation, and business reorganizations.

We concluded that, as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, there were no indications that the occurrence of a fundamental change and the associated redemption of the preferred stock were probable. We therefore have not adjusted the initial carrying amount of the preferred stock to its redemption amount, which is its liquidation preference. Through July 31, 2010, cumulative, undeclared dividends on the preferred stock were $39.2 million and as a result, the liquidation preference of the preferred stock was $332.2 million at that date. If it were convertible at July 31, 2010, the preferred stock could be converted into approximately 10.2 million shares of our common stock.

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Treasury Stock

From time to time, our board of directors approves repurchases of our common stock from independent directors and executive officers upon vesting of restricted stock grants in order to provide funds for the recipient’s obligation to pay associated income taxes upon vesting of stock awards.

During the six months ended July 31, 2010, we acquired 157,000 shares of treasury stock from certain executive officers and directors at a cost of $4.1 million. Treasury stock activity for the six months ended July 31, 2009 was not significant.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The following table summarizes, as of each balance sheet date, the components of our accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income tax effects on unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities and derivative financial instruments were not significant.

		July 31,				January 31,
(in thousands)		2010				2010
Foreign currency translation losses, net		$	(46,538	)		$	(43,245	)
Unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments			101				106
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities			5				5
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	(46,432	)		$	(43,134	)

Foreign currency translation losses, net, primarily reflect the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling since our acquisition of Witness in May 2007, which has resulted in lower U.S. dollar translated balances of British pound sterling denominated goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Witness.

9. Restructuring

We continually review our business model and carefully manage our cost structure. When considered necessary, we have periodically implemented restructuring plans to reduce costs and better align our resources with market demand. Activities under all historical restructuring plans were complete at January 31, 2010, with the exception of the restructuring plan related to the May 2007 acquisition of Witness.

Following the acquisition of Witness in May 2007, we implemented a plan to integrate the Witness business with our existing Workforce Optimization segment, which included actions to reduce fixed costs and eliminate redundancies. The following table summarizes the activity during the six months ended July 31, 2010 in accrued expenses related to the Witness restructuring plan.

Accrued restructuring costs — January 31, 2010		$	116
Payments and settlements			(116	)
Accrued restructuring costs — July 31, 2010		$	—

10. Income Taxes

Our quarterly provision for (benefit from) income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate for the period, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdiction, foreign income tax rate differentials, relative impact of permanent book to tax differences, and the effects of valuation allowances on certain loss jurisdictions. For the three months ended July 31, 2010, we recorded an income tax provision of $3.1 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 20.2%. The effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of income and losses by jurisdiction. We recorded an income tax provision on income from our foreign subsidiaries taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and we did not recognize a tax benefit on losses incurred by certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances.

For the three months ended July 31, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.9 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 65.8%. This rate is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because we recorded an income tax provision on income from certain profitable foreign subsidiaries while we did not record an income tax benefit on losses incurred by certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances.

For the six months ended July 31, 2010, we recorded an income tax provision of $5.2 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 262.3%. This tax rate is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of income and losses by jurisdiction. We recorded an income tax provision on income from certain profitable foreign subsidiaries while we did not record an income tax benefit on losses incurred by certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by taxing jurisdiction, which is particularly evident for this period as we recorded an income tax provision of $5.2 million on pre-tax income of $2.0 million. Other factors, including foreign income tax rate differentials, relative impacts of permanent book to tax differences, and the effects of valuation allowances on certain loss jurisdictions, also impact the comparability of the income tax provision between periods.

For the six months ended July 31, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of $7.1 million, which represents an effective tax rate of 24.4%. This rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because we did not record significant income tax expense or income tax benefit in the U.S., but recorded an income tax provision on income from our foreign subsidiaries taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate.

As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets are not more-likely-than-not realizable, we establish a valuation allowance. We determined that there is sufficient negative evidence to maintain the valuation allowances against our federal and certain state and foreign deferred tax assets as a result of historical losses in the most recent three-year period in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance against these assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $38.0 million and $37.5 million (excluding interest and penalties) as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. The accrued liability for interest and penalties was $7.5 million and $7.2 million at July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, respectively. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in the statement of operations. As of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was approximately $33.0 million and $32.6 million, respectively. We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits for the impact of new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of expiration. During the three months ended July 31, 2010, we received notification from a foreign taxing jurisdiction that an uncertain tax position had been accepted as filed. As a result, we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million (including related interest and penalties). Further, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2010 could decrease by approximately $2 million in the next twelve months as a result of settlement of certain tax audits or lapses of statutes of limitation. Such decreases may involve the payment of additional taxes, the adjustment of certain deferred taxes including the need for additional valuation allowances, and the recognition of tax benefits. Our income tax returns are subject to ongoing tax examinations in several jurisdictions in which we operate. We also believe that it is reasonably possible that new issues may be raised by tax authorities or developments in tax audits may occur which would require increases or decreases to the balance of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such changes cannot reasonably be made.

11. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification of our applicable assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in transfers within the fair value measurement hierarchy. We did not identify any transfers between levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the six months ended July 31, 2010.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following as of July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010:

The following table presents the change in the estimated fair value of our liability for contingent consideration measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended July 31, 2010:

(in thousands)		Amount
Fair value measurement at January 31, 2010		$	—
Contingent consideration liability recorded for business combination			3,224
Change in fair value recorded in operating expenses			82
Fair value measurement at July 31, 2010		$	3,306

Our liability for contingent consideration relates to the February 4, 2010 acquisition of Iontas. Between February 4, 2010 and July 31, 2010, there were no changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability other than accretion related solely to the passage of time. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration of $42 thousand and $82 thousand for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

Money Market Funds — We value our money market funds using quoted market prices for such funds.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — The estimated fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on quotes received from the counterparty. These quotes are reviewed for reasonableness by discounting the future estimated cash flows under the contracts, considering the terms and maturities of the contracts and market exchange rates using readily observable market prices for similar contracts.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement — The fair value of the interest rate swap represented the estimated amount we would receive or pay to settle the agreement, taking into consideration current and projected interest rates using readily observable market prices for similar contracts as well as the creditworthiness of the parties. On July 30, 2010, we entered into an agreement to terminate the interest rate swap in exchange for a payment of $21.7 million to the counterparty, as further described below.
