1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at December 31, 2004, the results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and changes in cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The condensed, consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2004 that are included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or period, or for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.

2. Restructuring Expenses

The Company recorded a restructuring credit of $1.0 million and restructuring costs of $11.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004, respectively.

In the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $11.4 million for revisions to accounting estimates from prior business restructurings and for additional restructuring charges related to office and business consolidations and employee severance. Revisions to the Company’s expected sublease income for two unoccupied floors in San Francisco comprised $0.4 million of this expense, inclusive of the $1.0 million benefit recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to reduce a lease reserve based on an agreement entered into in October 2004 to sublease a portion of the respective office space. Further consolidation of office space in San Francisco and Atlanta resulted in $7.8 million in new restructuring charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This consolidation included vacating three floors in Atlanta and one additional floor in San Francisco. The remaining $3.2 million in restructuring expense is associated with the elimination of approximately 140 positions, including the transfer of certain functions to the company-owned office buildings in Columbia, SC and the outsourcing of some development functions to India. At December 31, 2004, $6.8 million remains in the restructuring accrual for this initiative and is related to employee severance and excess lease costs associated with subleasing the Company’s vacated office space in Atlanta and San Francisco. These restructuring charges have been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No. 112, “Employer’s Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.”

Between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $22.7 million relating to two restructuring initiatives: (1) the relocation of the Company’s headquarters from San Francisco, CA to Atlanta, GA and (2) the suspension of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (“MoD”) project. At December 31, 2004, $7.7 million remains in the restructuring accrual for these initiatives, all of which is related to excess lease costs associated with subleasing the Company’s vacated office space in San Francisco, Dallas and Pittsburgh.

The restructuring accruals remaining as of December 31, 2004 are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in “Accrued liabilities” for amounts due within one year and “Other liabilities” for amounts due after one year. The following is a summary of activity in the restructuring accruals for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

3. Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using net income (loss) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using net income (loss) and the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (“common stock equivalents”) during each period.

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, stock options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10.6 million and 10.4 million shares, respectively, were outstanding. The warrants expired in June 2004. The 8% Convertible Notes issued in March 2003 to fund the acquisition of Indus Utility Systems, Inc. (“IUS”), formerly SCT Utility Systems, Inc., were converted into 9,751,859 shares of common stock in July 2003.

The calculations of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on securities investments that are excluded from net income (loss) and reflected in stockholders’ equity.

The following table sets forth the calculation of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively (in thousands):

5. Stock-Based Compensation

As currently permitted under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and accordingly recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants as long as the exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of grant.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, as required by SFAS No. 123, which also requires that the pro forma information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock option grants under the fair value method required by SFAS No. 123, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma net income (loss) including pro forma compensation expense, net of tax for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued and subsequently revised in December 2003, FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, which clarifies the consolidation accounting guidance of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Such entities are known as variable interest entities (“VIE”). The Company’s adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations as a result of such adoption. The Company had no VIEs during the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

Statement 123(R) must be adopted in the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005, irrespective of the entity’s fiscal year. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt Statement 123(R) during its second quarter in fiscal 2006.

Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date, and (2) a “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma

9

disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior periods of the year of adoption. The Company has not yet determined which method it will adopt.

As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation expense cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 5 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. However, in the case of the Company, the existence of its net operating loss carryforward will preclude recognition of the tax benefit until the deduction can be used to offset current taxes payable. The Company cannot estimate what the tax amounts will be in the future or when they will be recognized, because they depend on, among other things, when the net operating loss carryforwards will expire and when employees exercise stock options.

7. Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are attributable to the withholding of income taxes on revenues generated from foreign countries and a tax benefit recognized upon resolution of an international income tax issue. At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating losses, totaling approximately $67.5 million, inclusive of losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, to carry forward which, subject to certain limitations, may be used to offset future income through 2025.

8. Restricted Cash

The Company maintained cash deposits of approximately $6.4 million at December 31, 2004 and $5.6 million at March 31, 2004 in support of standby letters of credit, collateral for a mortgage and a bank guarantee. The letters of credit require the Company to maintain corresponding compensating balances equal to the amounts of the letters of credit. The compensating balances are classified as restricted cash at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004. A total of $4.6 million in restricted cash should be released in increments of $2.3 million each in both July 2006 and May 2008, relative to the expiration of letters of credit supporting a performance bond and the Company’s leased facilities in San Francisco, CA, respectively. Of the remaining amount, $0.3 million should be released ratably through June 2005. At both dates there was a $0.6 million certificate of deposit, used as collateral for the Company’s mortgage note payable on its Columbia, SC property, which will be released in April 2008.

9. Segment Information and Geographic Data

The Company operates in one reportable segment, service delivery management (“SDM”) and sells software and services offerings to enable the three principal components of SDM: asset management, customer management and field service management. Neither the acquisition of IUS nor the acquisition of Wishbone Systems, Inc. (“Wishbone”) resulted in a new business segment for the Company. The Company manages its business by geographic areas.

Geographic revenue information for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is based on customer location, and is shown in thousands. In prior periods, geographic revenue information has been shown by selling location. The Company believes that providing this data by customer location aligns more closely with the way the business is managed. Prior period data have been restated to reflect this revision. Long-lived asset information is based on the physical location of the assets.

10

Total long-lived assets outside North America were approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

10. Litigation

In February 2003, Integral Energy Australia brought a claim against IUS (which was then known as SCT Utility Systems, Inc.) in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, relating to the implementation of IUS software. On March 5, 2003, the Company acquired IUS from Systems and Computer Technology Corporation (“SCT”) and subsequently merged IUS into the Company. The Company is now the defendant in this lawsuit. The amount of damages asserted against the Company is not determinable. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement among the Company and SCT and its affiliates, SCT and those affiliates of SCT that were a party to the Purchase Agreement agreed to defend the Company against the claims in this suit and to indemnify the Company from all losses relating thereto.

In 2002, the Company received an inquiry from the federal government requesting documents and employee interviews related to certain Department of Energy facilities with which the Company does business. The Company was made aware that this inquiry was the result of a qui tam complaint against the Company in the United States District Court of Virginia (Case No. CA01-1260-A) relating to its billing practices at these facilities. The Company has settled this matter with the federal government and the relator. Under the terms of this settlement the Company paid the federal government $500,000 and relator’s counsel $45,000 in July 2004. The settlement was provided for by the Company at March 31, 2004. The court has dismissed this action with prejudice. There was no factual finding or adjudication of wrongdoing by the Company as part of the settlement.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions. However, any settlement or judgment may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such settlement or judgment is paid or payment becomes probable. The Company does not believe that, individually or in aggregate, the legal matters to which it is currently a party are likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

11. Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company accounts for guarantees and indemnifications in accordance with Financial Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.”

License and hosting agreements with customers generally contain infringement indemnity provisions. Under these agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret infringement claims made by third parties with respect to the customer’s authorized use of our products and services. The indemnity provisions generally provide for the Company to control defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer. The indemnity provisions also generally provide that if the Company’s products infringe, or in the Company’s opinion it is likely that they will be found to infringe, on the rights of a third-party Indus will, at its option and expense, procure the right to use the infringing product, modify the product so it is no longer infringing, or return the product for a partial refund that reflects the reasonable value of prior use. The Company has not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations. The Company accounts for these indemnity obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and records a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for these arrangements as of December 31, 2004.

11

Services agreements with customers may also contain indemnity provisions for death, personal injury or property damage caused by the Company’s personnel or contractors in the course of performing services to customers. Under these agreements, the Company generally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the customer in connection with death, personal injury and property damage claims made by third parties with respect to actions of the Company’s personnel or contractors. These indemnity provisions generally provide for the Company’s control of defense and settlement and cover costs and damages finally awarded against the customer. The indemnity obligations contained in services agreements generally have no specified expiration date and no specified monetary limitation on the amount of award covered. The Company has not previously incurred costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification obligations and estimates the fair value of these potential obligations to be nominal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2004.

Some services agreements require the Company to maintain performance bonds as security for the performance of the Company’s obligations under those agreements. Some of the performance bonds require cash to be restricted as collateral. The obligations to maintain these bonds typically expire either at a date specified in the applicable contract or upon the performance of the Company’s obligations. Due to the Company’s historical experience of successful software implementations, the Company has no significant history of payment under these types of bonds. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for these arrangements as of December 31, 2004.

The Company generally warrants that its software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer for six months to a year, depending upon the software license. Additionally, contracts generally warrant that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or, in some instances, specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, provision will be made for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. There has been no significant recurring expense under these product or service warranties.

12. Goodwill and Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, increased by $486,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The Company recorded an increase to the purchase price of Wishbone for the costs to relocate certain Wishbone employees to Atlanta, GA, as planned with the acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing criteria. For purposes of its impairment testing, the Company considers itself to be a single reporting unit and assesses goodwill impairment on an enterprise-wide level. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. The Company has recorded goodwill of $0.4 million associated with the acquisition of IUS and $7.0 million associated with the acquisition of Wishbone. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2004.

Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, and include values for developed technology, customer base, contracts and trade names. Acquired technology is being amortized over the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product including the period being reported on. Other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of two to fifteen years. Total amortization expense for intangible assets was $520,000 and $451,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and was $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

12

Acquisition-related intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

The remaining weighted-average amortization period on all acquired intangible assets is approximately ten years. Trademarks and technology have a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately three years and contracts and customer base have a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately twelve years. The Company expects future amortization expense from acquired intangible assets as of December 31, 2004 to be as follows (in thousands):

13. Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”, whereby costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. With the one exception noted in the following paragraph, software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have not been significant, and all software development costs have been charged to research and development expense as incurred.

The Company capitalized $7.7 million of development costs related to the internationalization of one of its products to Asian markets through March 31, 2004. The product became generally available for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2004, and the related capitalized software development costs became subject to amortization. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 86, amortization is determined as the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the product including the period being reported on. Amortization expense of $313,000 and $2.4 million was recorded in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, and is included in “Cost of revenue: Software license fees” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. Subsequent Event-Stockholder Protection Rights Plan

On January 25, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a Stockholder Protection Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”). Under the Rights Plan, a dividend of one right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock was distributed to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 4, 2005. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer to acquire 20% or more of the Company’s common stock. If either event occurs, each Right would entitle its holder (other than the person or group that exceeded the threshold) to purchase, at the exercise price of $17.00, a number of shares of Indus common stock having a market value equal to twice such exercise price. Also, if Indus were to be acquired in a merger or other business combination initiated by a person or group that had acquired 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock, each Right would entitle its holder (other than the person or group that exceeded the threshold) to purchase, at such exercise price, a number of common shares in the acquiring company having a market value equal to twice such exercise price. Upon being distributed, the Rights will automatically attach to and trade with all shares of Indus common stock. The Rights will not trade separately from the

13

common stock unless and until they become exercisable. The Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights at any time prior to the time at which the rights became exercisable. Unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Board of Directors, the Rights will expire on January 25, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

14

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are 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 estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and intangibles and restructuring. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company has identified the following policies as critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of the Company’s results of operations. Senior management has discussed the development and selection of these policies and the disclosures below with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company’s revenue arises from two sources: (a) the sale of licenses to use our software products, and (b) the delivery of customer support, outsourcing, hosting, implementation, consulting, training and education services related to our software products. Revenue recognition rules for software companies are very complex, often subject to interpretation, and continue to evolve. Very specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue are followed by the Company; however, certain judgments affect the application of the Company’s revenue policy. On occasion, the Company is unable to recognize software license revenue in the period an order is received due to the complexities of the applicable accounting standards, the judgments involved and contractual provisions in response to customer demands. Delays in the timing and amount of revenue recognition for software license fees have caused volatility in the Company’s financial results.

Software license fee revenue is recognized when a non-cancelable license agreement becomes effective as evidenced by a signed contract, product delivery, a fixed or determinable license fee and probability of collection. If the license fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. In arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, the total arrangement fee is allocated among each of the deliverables using the residual method, under which revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue are allocated to delivered elements. Elements included in multiple element arrangements may consist of software products, maintenance (which includes customer support services and unspecified upgrades), hosting and consulting services. VSOE is based on the price generally charged when an element is sold separately or, in the case of an element not yet sold separately, the price established by authorized management, if it is probable that the price, once established, will not change when the element is sold separately. If VSOE does not exist for an undelivered element, the total arrangement fee will be taken to revenue over the life of the contract.

Revenue from consulting and implementation services is, in general, time and material based and recognized as the work is performed. Delays in project implementation will result in delays in revenue recognition. Some professional consulting services involve fixed-price and/or fixed-time arrangements and are recognized using contract accounting, which requires the accurate estimation of the cost, scope and duration of each engagement. Revenue for these projects is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, with progress-to-completion measured by using specific milestones, usually labor unit inputs, with revisions to estimates reflected in the period in which changes become known. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. If the Company does not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed, or does not manage its projects properly within the planned periods of time or satisfy its obligations under the contracts, then future consulting margins on these projects may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Although the Company has a good history of successful services performance, occasional deviations from the significant estimates required for larger services engagements, particularly those with fixed-price arrangements, have caused volatility in the Company’s financial results.

Revenue from customer support services is recognized ratably over the term of the support contract, typically one year. Revenue from outsourcing and hosting services is recognized based upon contractually agreed upon rates per user or service, over a contractually defined time period.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

15

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated accounts receivable losses resulting from the inability or failure of its customers to make required payments. This allowance is formula-based, supplemented by an evaluation of specific accounts where there may be collectibility risk. If the methodology the Company uses to calculate this allowance does not properly reflect future collections, revenue could be overstated or understated. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable based upon historical collections and an assessment of the collectibility of specific accounts. The Company evaluates the collectibility of specific accounts using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balance(s), evaluation of the account’s financial condition, recent payment history, and discussions with the Company’s account executive for the specific customer. Based upon this evaluation of collectibility, any increase or decrease required in the allowance for doubtful accounts is reflected in the period in which the evaluation indicates that a change is necessary. 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. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $703,000 as of December 31, 2004 and $912,000 as of March 31, 2004. The decrease is attributable to improved collections of aged accounts receivable during the nine months ended December 31, 2004.

The Company generates a significant portion of revenues and corresponding accounts receivable from sales to the utility industry. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $19.0 million, or 71.0%, of the Company’s gross billed accounts receivable were attributable to software license fees and services sales to utility customers. In determining the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company has considered the financial condition of the utility industry as a whole, as well as the financial condition of individual utility customers.

Revenue from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar resulted in approximately $2.9 million of the Company’s December 31, 2004 gross billed accounts receivable, of which approximately $1.5 million were denominated in British Pounds. Historically, the foreign currency gains and losses on these receivables have not been significant, and the Company has determined that foreign currency derivative products are not required to hedge the Company’s exposure. If the value of the U.S. Dollar significantly increased versus one or more foreign currencies, the U.S. Dollar equivalents received from the Company’s customers could be significantly less than the December 31, 2004 reported amount.

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill:

The acquisitions of Indus Utility Systems, Inc. (“IUS”), formerly SCT Utility Systems, Inc., in March 2003 and Wishbone Systems, Inc. (“Wishbone”) in January 2004 resulted in the recording of goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, as well as other definite-lived intangible assets.

Under present accounting rules (SFAS No. 142), goodwill is no longer subject to amortization; instead it is subject to impairment testing criteria at least annually. Other acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of its goodwill impairment testing, the Company considers itself to be a single reporting unit and assesses goodwill impairment on an enterprise-wide level. The impairment test is therefore performed on a consolidated basis and compares the Company’s market capitalization (reporting unit fair value) to its outstanding equity (reporting unit carrying value). In accordance with the recommended provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company utilizes its closing stock price as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of the impairment test in order to compute market capitalization. The Company has designated December 31 as the annual date for impairment testing.

The Company performed its annual impairment test as of December 31, 2004 and concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed since the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. No events have occurred, nor circumstances changed, subsequent to December 31, 2004 that would reduce the Company’s fair value below its carrying value. The Company will continue to test for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if circumstances change that would indicate the possibility of impairment. The impairment review may require an analysis of future projections and assumptions about the Company’s operating performance. If such a review indicates that the assets are impaired, an expense would be recorded for the amount of the impairment, and the corresponding impaired assets would be reduced in carrying value. Differences in the identification of reporting units and the use of valuation techniques can result in materially different evaluations of impairment.

Restructuring:

In the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $11.4 million for revisions to accounting estimates from prior business restructurings and for additional restructuring charges related to office and business consolidations and employee severance. Revisions to the Company’s expected sublease income for two unoccupied floors in San Francisco comprised $0.4 million of this expense, inclusive of the $1.0 million benefit recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to reduce a lease reserve based on an agreement entered into in October 2004 to sublease a portion of the respective office space. Further consolidation of office space in San Francisco and Atlanta resulted in $7.8 million in new restructuring charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This consolidation included vacating three floors in Atlanta and one additional floor in San Francisco. The remaining $3.2 million in restructuring expense is associated with the elimination of approximately 140 positions, including the transfer of certain functions to the company-owned office buildings in Columbia, SC and the outsourcing of some development functions to India. At December 31, 2004, $6.8 million remains in the restructuring accrual for this initiative and is related to employee severance and excess lease costs associated with subleasing the Company’s vacated office space in Atlanta and San Francisco. These restructuring charges have been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No. 112, “Employer’s Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.”

Between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $22.7 million relating to two restructuring initiatives: (1) the relocation of the Company’s headquarters from San Francisco, CA to Atlanta, GA and (2) the suspension of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (“MoD”) project. At December 31, 2004, $7.7 million remains in the restructuring accrual for these initiatives, all of which is related to excess lease costs associated with subleasing the Company’s vacated office space in San Francisco, Dallas and Pittsburgh.

Should rental conditions in the Company’s Atlanta location deteriorate to the point where the remaining redundant office space is not leased, the Company could incur additional charges totaling approximately $6.6 million over the remaining period of fiscal years 2005 through 2012. Should rental conditions improve, it is possible that higher than anticipated sublease income will be generated. Any required increase or decrease in this accrual will be reflected in the period in which the evaluation indicates that a change is necessary.

The restructuring accruals remaining as of December 31, 2004 are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in “Accrued liabilities” for amounts due within one year and “Other liabilities” for amounts due after one year.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2003

Revenue

The Company’s revenue arises from two sources: (a) the sale of licenses to use our software products, and (b) the delivery of customer support, outsourcing, hosting, implementation, consulting, training and education services related to our software products. Customer support, outsourcing and hosting services are typically sold under agreements lasting one or more years, the revenue from which is recognized, in most cases, ratably over the periods covered by the agreements.

Software license fees: Software license fees increased 135.3% to $7.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in software license fees is attributable to better sales execution and sales of additional Indus products, including Service Suite, primarily into its existing customer base. Service Suite was acquired in the January 2004 acquisition of Wishbone and, therefore, was not available for sale in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company continues to prudently expand its sales efforts in the Eastern Europe and Asia-Pacific regions of the world; geographic markets that the Company believes provide opportunities for growth.

Support, outsourcing and hosting: Support, outsourcing and hosting revenue decreased 7.4% to $14.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004. Effective October 15, 2004, the Company did not renew a non-strategic outsourcing contract which provided recurring revenues of approximately $1.0 million per quarter. The absence of this contract is the principal reason for the decline in support, outsourcing and hosting revenue during the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Renewals of customer support revenues for the current fiscal year remain over 90%, reflecting limited customer losses and some adjustments to accommodate various customer considerations.

Consulting, training and other: Consulting, training and other revenue decreased 22.4% to $12.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004. The same quarter in the prior year reflected more engagements for such services and better utilization of billable personnel. The Company has initiated a strategic program to better and more frequently utilize third party systems integrators and certified business partners in its delivery of consulting, training and other services in order to provide greater business scalability and the potential introduction into more opportunities for sales of its software products. Over time, this strategy will likely yield less consulting, training and other services as a percentage of overall revenues for Indus.

18

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of (i) amortization of the costs associated with internally developed software, (ii) amounts paid to third parties for inclusion of their products in the Company’s software, (iii) personnel, data maintenance and related costs for customer support, hosting and outsourcing services, and (iv) personnel and related costs for consulting and training services.

Cost of software license fees: The increase in cost of software license fees in the three months ended December 31, 2004 is attributable to amortization of $0.3 million in capitalized software development costs related to a double-byte character-enabled version of our Asset Suite, made generally available for sale in April 2004. There was no corresponding amortization in the three months ended December 31, 2003. Higher costs for third party software included with the Company’s products accounted for the remainder.

Cost of services revenue — customer support, outsourcing and hosting: The decrease in cost of customer support, outsourcing and hosting services is attributable to two factors: (1) the efficiencies gained through consolidation of the Company’s North American customer support operations in Columbia, SC as part of the Company’s business restructuring plan implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005; and (2) the elimination of personnel associated with the non-strategic outsourcing contract that was not renewed during the quarter, as noted above.

Cost of services revenue — consulting, training and other: Cost of consulting, training and other services decreased in the three months ended December 31, 2004 due to staffing reductions called for in the Company’s strategic resource allocation plans. As a percentage of revenue, cost of consulting, training and other services revenue increased due to lower utilization of personnel on staff. The Company’s ongoing strategic resource plans call for more efficient use of personnel, both internal and external.

19

Operating Expenses

Research and development: Research and development expenses include personnel and related costs, primarily internal and offshore, third party consultant fees and computer processing costs, all directly attributable to the development of new software products and enhancements to existing products. The reduction in research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period of the prior year is attributable to the combined effects of two principal actions: (1) the elimination of personnel dedicated to less strategic product lines; and (2) better utilization of offshore research and development resources in India. Total research and development expenditures have been reduced by approximately $2.4 million from the same period of the prior year, when considering the $0.7 million decline in expenses and the $1.7 million of software development costs capitalized in the three months ended December 31, 2003 for the development of the double-byte character-enabled version of our Asset Suite.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs, sales commissions, and the costs of advertising, public relations, and participation in industry conferences and trade shows. The reduction in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period in the prior year is attributable to the elimination of certain sales and marketing positions as part of the Company’s restructuring plan implemented in August 2004 and its continued efforts toward cost containment and better allocations of resources. These reductions are partially offset by tiered sales commissions associated with greater sales of software licenses in fiscal 2005.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses include personnel and other costs of the Company’s finance, legal, human resources and administrative operations. The $1.3 million reduction in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period of the prior year is attributable to consolidation of certain previously decentralized accounting and administrative functions into the Company’s headquarters in Atlanta, GA and continued cost containment programs.

Restructuring expenses: The Company recorded a $1.0 million benefit in the three months ended December 31, 2004 to reduce a lease reserve based on an agreement entered into in October 2004 to sublease two previously vacated floors in San Francisco, CA. The Company could incur additional increases or decreases to its existing accruals in the event that the underlying assumptions used to develop the Company’s estimates of excess lease costs change, such as the timing and the amount of any sublease income.

20

Interest Expense, Other Income (Expense) and Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes

Interest expense, net: Interest expense, net arises from interest expense on a mortgage note payable and interest income generated from the Company’s invested cash balances.

Other income, net: Other income, net is primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains or losses. Foreign exchange gains were $182,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to foreign exchange gains of $14,000 for the same period of 2003. This variance reflects changes in relative values of currencies in which the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries do business and revaluation of certain balances between the parent company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes: Income taxes include federal, state and foreign income taxes. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2004 is attributable to the withholding of income taxes on revenues generated in foreign countries offset by a $249,000 tax benefit recognized upon resolution of an international income tax issue. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had significant net operating losses to carry forward to offset taxable income that may arise in the future, subject to certain limitations.

21

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2003

Revenue

Software license fees: Software license fees increased 34.8% to $23.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase is principally attributable to better sales execution and sales of additional Indus products, including Service Suite, primarily into its existing customer base. Service Suite was acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 with the acquisition of Wishbone. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 Indus recognized a greater than $5.0 million license fee from Tokyo Electric Power Company (“TEPCO”) after product acceptance by TEPCO and upon delivery of the double-byte character-enabled version of our Asset Suite product in April 2004. This TEPCO license fee had been classified as deferred revenue beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2003. For comparison purposes, approximately $5.0 million of software license fees recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, previously classified as deferred revenue, was attributable to a single customer.

Support, outsourcing and hosting: Support, outsourcing and hosting revenue, from a collective view, remained approximately flat for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Outsourcing revenue decreased by $1.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 with the absence of revenues associated with two contracts, one of which was not renewed in October 2004, as discussed above, and the other of which concluded in the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Increases in revenue from sales of customer support agreements on a growing installed based and organic growth from existing hosting agreements offset the decrease in outsourcing revenue. Renewals of customer support revenues for the current fiscal year remain over 90%, reflecting limited customer losses and some adjustments to accommodate various customer considerations.

Consulting, training and other: Consulting, training and other services revenue decreased 17.0% to $37.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The same period in the prior year reflected more engagements for such services and better utilization of billable personnel. The Company has initiated a strategic program to better and more frequently utilize third party systems integrators and certified business partners in its delivery of consulting, training and other services in order to provide greater business scalability and the potential introduction into more opportunities for sales of its software products. Over time, this strategy will likely yield less consulting, training and other services as a percentage of overall revenues for Indus.

22

Cost of Revenue

Cost of software license fees: The increase in cost of software license fees in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 is due to amortization of $2.4 million in capitalized software development costs to create a double-byte character-enabled Japanese version of our Asset Suite, made generally available for sale in April 2004. There was no such amortization in the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Higher costs for third party software included with the Company’s products accounted for the remainder.

Cost of services revenue — customer support, outsourcing and hosting: The decrease in cost of customer support, outsourcing and hosting services is attributable to two factors: (1) the efficiencies gained through consolidation of the Company’s North American customer support operations in Columbia, SC as part of the Company’s business restructuring plan implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2005; and (2) the elimination of personnel associated with the non-strategic outsourcing contract that was not renewed in October 2004, as discussed above.

Cost of services revenue — consulting, training and other: Cost of consulting, training and other services decreased in the nine months ended December 31, 2004, as compared to the same period of the prior year, due to staffing reductions called for in the Company’s strategic resource allocation plans. As a percentage of revenue, cost of consulting, training and other services revenue increased due to lower utilization of personnel on staff. The Company’s ongoing strategic resource plans call for more efficient use of existing personnel, both internal and external.

23

Operating Expenses

Research and development: Research and development expenses include personnel and related costs, primarily internal and offshore, third party consultant fees and computer processing costs, all directly attributable to the development of new software application products and enhancements to existing products. The reduction in research and development expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period of the prior year is attributable to the combined effects of two principal actions: (1) the elimination of personnel dedicated to less strategic product lines; and (2) better utilization of offshore research and development resources in India. Total research and development expenditures have been reduced by approximately $8.3 million from the same period of the prior year, when considering the $4.0 million decline in expenses and the $4.3 million of software development costs capitalized in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 for the development of the double-byte character-enabled version of our Asset Suite.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs, sales commissions, and the costs of advertising, public relations, and participation in industry conferences and trade shows. The reduction in sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period of the prior year is attributable to elimination of certain sales and marketing positions as part of the Company’s restructuring plans and its continued efforts toward cost containment and better allocations of resources.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses include personnel and other costs of the Company’s finance, legal, human resources and administrative operations. The $4.4 million reduction in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 from the same period of the prior year is attributable to consolidation of previously decentralized accounting and administrative functions into the Company’s headquarters in Atlanta, GA and continued cost containment programs.

Restructuring expenses: In the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $11.4 million for revisions to accounting estimates from prior business restructurings and for additional restructuring charges related to office and business consolidations and employee severance. Revisions to the Company’s expected sublease income for two unoccupied floors in San Francisco comprised $0.4 million of this expense, inclusive of the $1.0 million benefit recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to reduce a lease reserve based on an agreement entered into in October 2004 to sublease a portion of the respective office space. Further consolidation of office space in San Francisco and Atlanta resulted in $7.8 million in new restructuring charges for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. This consolidation included vacating three floors in Atlanta and one additional floor in San Francisco. The remaining $3.2 million in restructuring expense is associated with the elimination of approximately 140 positions, including the transfer of certain functions to the company-owned office buildings in Columbia, SC and the outsourcing of some development functions to India. At December 31, 2004, $6.8 million remains in the restructuring accrual for this initiative and is related to employee severance and excess lease costs associated with subleasing the Company’s vacated office space in Atlanta and San Francisco. The Company could incur future increases or decreases to its existing accruals in the event that the underlying assumptions used to develop the Company’s estimates of excess lease costs, such as the timing and the amount of any sublease income change.

24

Interest Expense, Other Income (Expense) and Provision for Income Taxes

Interest expense, net: Interest expense, net arises from debt financing and debt incurred with the acquisition of IUS in March 2003 and interest income generated from the Company’s invested cash balances. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 declined due to less debt outstanding, as the convertible notes to finance the IUS acquisition were converted to equity in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Interest income has declined due to less cash available for investment.

Other income (expense), net: Other income (expense), net is primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains or losses. Foreign exchange gains were $293,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to foreign exchange losses of $129,000 for the same period of 2003. This variance reflects changes in the relative values of currencies in which the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries do business and revaluation of certain balances between the parent company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Provision for income taxes: Income taxes include federal, state and foreign income taxes. The provisions for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are attributable to the withholding of income taxes on revenues generated in foreign countries offset by a $249,000 tax benefit recognized upon resolution of an international income tax issue As of December 31, 2004, the Company had significant net operating losses to carry forward to offset taxable income that may arise in the future, subject to certain limitations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $22.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.4 million in short and long-term restricted cash. The Company generated $3.8 million of cash flow from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and increased cash and cash equivalents by $3.7 million as of December 31, 2004 over September 30, 2004.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2004:

•

Cash of $5.2 million was used in operating activities. The outflows of cash can be stratified into two categories: (1) cash payments associated with the Company’s business restructurings and other items and (2) cash activity associated with day-to-day business activities. Relative to the former category, in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 the Company made cash payments of $6.0 million in settlement of current and prior business restructuring obligations and $0.5 million in settlement of an outstanding claim by the Department of Energy. Relative to the latter category, in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 the Company generated $1.3 million of cash from day-to-day business activities. The Company’s days sales outstanding (DSO) was 93 days at December 31, 2004, up 11 days from September 30, 2004 and 24 days from March 31, 2004. The increase over September 30, 2004 is attributable to approximately $2.0 million in aged accounts receivable from two customers subsequently collected in January 2005 and seasonal renewals of customer support agreements. DSO of 69 days at March 31, 2004 reflected favorable collections experience. DSO of 93 days at December 31, 2004 compares reasonably to DSO of 90 days at December 31, 2003, particularly considering subsequent collections in January 2005.

25

	•	Cash of $3.5 million was used in investing activities, including the restriction of $0.8 million in cash to support additional standby letters of credit, $2.3 million in capital expenditures and $0.5 million in purchase price adjustments associated with the acquisition of Wishbone. Capital expenditures consist of amounts to build-out consolidated office space in the Company’s headquarters in Atlanta, GA and purchases of computers and equipment to ensure consistency in operations and customer success.
	•	Cash of $0.2 million was used in financing activities. Debt payments of $0.8 million exceeded proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.6 million.

Restricted Cash:

At December 31, 2004, the Company maintained cash deposits totaling approximately $6.4 million in support of eight standby letters of credit, collateral for a mortgage and a bank guarantee. The letters of credit require the Company to maintain corresponding compensating balances equal to the amounts of the letters of credit. The compensating balances are classified as restricted cash at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004. A total of $4.6 million in restricted cash should be released in increments of $2.3 million each in both July 2006 and May 2008, relative to the expiration of letters of credit supporting a performance bond and the Company’s leased facilities in San Francisco, CA, respectively. Of the remaining amount, $0.3 million should be released ratably through June 2005. A $0.6 million certificate of deposit, used as collateral for the Company’s mortgage note payable on its Columbia, SC property, will be released in April 2008.

The Company maintains performance bonds, directly and indirectly, in accordance with certain customer contracts, some of which are collateralized by letters of credit supported by restricted cash, as noted above. Although the Company believes, based on its extensive historical experience of successful software implementations, that the likelihood of payment under these bonds is remote, a failed implementation or a significant software malfunction leading to payment under one or more of these bonds could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.

Acquisition financing:

The purchase price of the March 2003 IUS acquisition approximated $35.8 million, which the Company financed with approximately $24.8 million from a private placement of the Company’s common stock and convertible notes and a $10.0 million promissory note. The $10.0 million promissory note was paid in full on September 5, 2003 with the proceeds from an $11.5 million note secured by certain real property located in Columbia, SC. This note bears interest at an annual rate of 6.5% and is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest (determined on a 15-year amortization) through October 1, 2008, at which time the remaining principal balance of $7.7 million is due and payable. The Company may extend the maturity date at that time for one additional five year term at a variable rate of interest.

On January 21, 2004, the Company acquired Wishbone for $7.2 million (inclusive of the $0.5 million purchase price adjustment for employee relocations recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2005) plus the assumption of $1.0 million in Wishbone debt, which was repaid concurrent with the acquisition. The acquisition was financed from the Company’s available cash balance. Shortly thereafter, on February 9, 2004, the Company completed a private placement offering of 5.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share of $3.10 per share. Net proceeds from this offering were used to replenish cash used in the acquisition of Wishbone and for general working capital.

Cash Analysis:

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. In the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company implemented business restructuring plans with cumulative charges to operations of $11.4 million, which the Company believes should help to improve its cash flow from operations over time. However, the Company is prepared to adjust its usage of cash and cash equivalents, as called for by its internal business plans, to align with actual business conditions.

The foregoing statement regarding the Company’s expectations for continued liquidity is a forward-looking statement, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including variable operating results, continued operating losses, presently unexpected uses of cash and the factors discussed under the section below, “Factors Affecting Future Performance”.

Factors Affecting Future Performance

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter which could negatively affect our results of operations and our stock price.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and our results may fluctuate significantly in the future. Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and may be negatively affected as a result of a number of factors, including:

	•	the variable size and timing of individual license transactions and services engagements;
	•	delays in maintenance renewals or non-renewals or cancellation of maintenance services;
	•	changes in the proportion of revenues attributable to license fees, hosting fees and services;
	•	successful completion of customer funded development;
	•	changes in the level of operating expenses;
	•	our success in, and costs associated with, developing, introducing and marketing new products;
	•	delays associated with product development, including the development and introduction of new products and new releases of existing products;
	•	the development and introduction of new operating systems and/or technological changes in computer systems that require additional development efforts;
	•	software defects and other product quality problems and the costs associated with solving those problems; and
	•	personnel changes, including changes in our management.

Changes in operating expenses or variations in the timing of recognition of specific revenues resulting from any of these factors can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter-to-quarter and may in some future quarter result in losses or have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

If we are unable to achieve consistent profitability and positive operating cash flow in the near future, our business and long-term prospects may be harmed.

We generated a net loss of $9.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and used cash of $5.2 million in operating activities during the same period. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we generated a net loss of $12.0 million and used cash of approximately $3.8 million in operating activities during the same period. If we are unable to achieve and maintain consistent profitability and positive cash flow from operations in the near future it will negatively affect our capacity to implement our business strategy and may require us to take actions in the short-term that will impair the long-term prospects of our business. If we are unable to achieve and maintain consistent profitability and positive cash flow from operations in the near future it may also result in liquidity problems and impair our ability to finance our continuing business operations on terms that are acceptable to us. Further, we may need to enter into financing transactions that are dilutive to our stockholders’ equity ownership in our company.

If the market for service delivery management solutions does not grow as anticipated or if our service delivery management solutions are not accepted in the market, we may not be able to grow our business.

The market for service delivery management solutions is an emerging market. If customers’ demand in this emerging market does not grow as anticipated or if our service delivery management solution is not accepted in the market place, then we may not be able to grow our business.

If the market does not accept our new products and enhancements or upgrades to our existing products that we launch from time to time, our operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

From time to time, we acquire new products, launch new products, and release enhancements or upgrades to existing products. For example, in December 2004, we released a new product called the Indus Asset Suite, which incorporates the key capabilities of our legacy PassPort and InsiteEE product lines. In January 2004, we acquired our Service Suite software from Wishbone, which forms a part of our service delivery management offering. There can be no assurance that any of our new or

27

enhanced products will be sold successfully or that they can achieve market acceptance. Our future success with these products and other next generation product offerings will depend on our ability to accurately determine the functionality and features required by our customers, as well as the ability to enhance our products and deliver them in a timely manner. We cannot predict the present and future size of the potential market for our next generation of products, and we may incur substantial costs to enhance and modify our products and services in order to meet the demands of this potential market.

Demand for our Asset Suite and Customer Suite solutions may grow slowly or decrease in upcoming quarters, which may impair our business and could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Overall demand for our Asset Suite and Customer Suite solutions in general may grow slowly or decrease in upcoming quarters and years because of unfavorable general economic conditions, decreased spending by companies in need of our solutions or otherwise. This may reflect the capital spending environment generally, a saturation of the market for asset management and customer management software generally, as well as deregulation and retrenchments affecting the way companies purchase our software. To the extent that there is a slowdown in the overall market for our solutions, our business, results of operations and financial condition are likely to be materially adversely affected.

If we experience delays in product development or the introduction of new products or new versions of existing products, our business and sales will be negatively affected.

We have, in the past, experienced delays in product development that have negatively affected our relationships with existing customers and have resulted in lost sales of our products and services to existing and prospective customers and our failure to recover our product development costs. There can be no assurance that we will not experience further delays in connection with our current product development or future development activities. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products, or enhancements to existing products, in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. Because we have limited resources, we must effectively manage and properly allocate and prioritize our product development efforts and our porting efforts relating to newer products and operating systems. There can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or, even if successful, that any resulting products or operating systems will achieve customer acceptance.

Delays in implementation of our software or the performance of our services may negatively affect our business.

Following license sales to new customers, the implementation of our products and their extended solutions generally involves a lengthy process, including customer training and consultation. In addition, we are often engaged by our existing customers for other lengthy services projects. A successful implementation or other services project requires a close working relationship between us, the customer and, if applicable, third-party consultants and systems integrators who assist in the process. These factors may increase the costs associated with completion of any given sale, increase the risks of collection of amounts due during implementation or other services projects, and increase risks of cancellation or delay of such projects. Delays in the completion of a product implementation or with any other services project may require that the revenues associated with such implementation or project be recognized over a longer period than originally anticipated, or may result in disputes with customers regarding performance by us and payment by the customers. Such delays have caused, and may in the future cause, material fluctuations in our operating results. Similarly, customers may typically cancel implementation and other services projects at any time without penalty, and any such cancellations could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Because our expenses are relatively fixed, a small variation in the timing of recognition of specific revenues can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter-to-quarter and may in some further quarter result in losses or have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

We have experienced significant change in our executive management team and the current executive management team has only begun to work together.

We have experienced significant change in our executive management team. In February 2004, Gregory Dukat was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and John Gregg was promoted to Executive Vice President of Field Operations. In June 2004, we appointed Thomas Williams as our new Chief Financial Officer. In July 2004, we hired Dave Henderson as our Vice President of Global Professional Services. In September 2004, Thomas Madison ceased to be an executive officer of the Company, although he will continue as Chairman of the Board in a non-employee capacity. In January 2005, we appointed Joseph Trino as an Executive Vice President. The current executive management team has only recently begun to work together, and they may be unable to integrate and work effectively as a team. There are no assurances that we will be able to motivate and retain the current executive management team or that they will be able to work together effectively. If we lose any

28

member of our executive management team or they are unable to work together effectively, our business, operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Our future success depends, in significant part, upon the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel, as well as our ability to attract and retain new personnel. Competition for qualified sales, technical and other personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract, assimilate or retain additional highly qualified employees in the future. Our ability to attract, assimilate and retain key personnel may be adversely impacted by the fact that we have reduced our work force by approximately 26% in the nine months ended December 31, 2004. If we are unable to offer competitive salaries and bonuses, our key technical, sales and senior management personnel may be unwilling to continue service for us, and it may be difficult for us to attract new personnel. If we were unable to hire and retain personnel, particularly in senior management positions, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. Further additions of new personnel and departures of existing personnel, particularly in key positions, can be disruptive and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our failure to realize the expected benefits of our recent restructurings, including anticipated cost savings, could result in unfavorable financial results.

Over the last several years we have undertaken several internal restructuring initiatives. For example, in the nine months ended December 31, 2004, the Company restructured business activities by eliminating approximately 140 positions and consolidating office space in Atlanta, GA and San Francisco, CA, wherein certain functions were transferred from these locations to company-owned office buildings in Columbia, SC. These types of internal restructurings have operational risks, including reduced productivity and lack of focus as we terminate some employees and assign new tasks and provide training to other employees. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will achieve the anticipated cost savings from these restructurings and any failure to achieve the anticipated cost savings could cause our financial results to fall short of expectations and adversely affect our financial position.

We have taken charges for restructuring of $10.2 million in 2001, $8.2 million in 2002, $2.2 million in the three-month transition period ended March 31, 2003, $44,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and $11.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2004. There can be no assurance that additional charges for restructuring expenses will not be required in future periods. Significant future restructuring charges could cause financial results to be unfavorable.

Our business may suffer from risks associated with growth through acquisitions, should they occur.

In recent years we have acquired IUS and Wishbone and we evaluate acquisition opportunities from time to time. All acquisitions involve specific risks. Some of these risks include:

	•	the assumption of unanticipated liabilities and contingencies;
	•	diversion of our management’s attention;
	•	inability to achieve market acceptance of acquired products; and
	•	possible reduction of our reported asset values and earnings because of:

	•	goodwill impairment;
	•	increased interest costs;
	•	issuances of additional securities or debt; and
	•	difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and assets.

As we grow and attempt to integrate any business and assets that we may acquire, we can give no assurance that we will be able to:

	•	properly maintain and take advantage of the business or value of any acquired business and assets;
	•	identify suitable acquisition candidates;
	•	complete any additional acquisitions; or
	•	integrate any acquired businesses or assets into our operations.

The strain on our management may negatively affect our business and our ability to execute our business strategy.

29

Changes to our business and customer base have placed a strain on management and operations. Previous expansion had resulted in substantial growth in the number of our employees, the scope of our operating and financial systems and the geographic area of our operations, resulting in increased responsibility for management personnel. Our restructuring activities in recent years and our acquisitions of IUS and Wishbone have placed additional demands on management. In connection with our restructuring activities and our acquisitions, we will be required to effectively manage our operations, improve our financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures on a timely basis and to train and manage our employee work force. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively manage our operations and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

The market for our products is highly competitive, and we may be unable to maintain or increase our market share.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop more advanced products more quickly and less expensively than our existing and potential competitors and to educate potential customers on the benefits of licensing our products. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, as well as greater name recognition and a larger customer base than us, which may allow them to introduce products with more features, greater functionality and lower prices than our products. These competitors could also bundle existing or new products with other, more established products in order to effectively compete with us.

Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of sales volume, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Any material reduction in the price of our products would negatively affect our gross revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and if we fail to do so we may be unable to maintain or increase our market share.

If we don’t respond to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, we will be unable to compete effectively.

The industries in which we participate are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards in computer hardware and software technology, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The introduction of products embodying new technologies, the emergence of new standards or changes in customer requirements could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our success will depend in part upon our ability to enhance our existing software solutions, expand our products offerings through development or acquisition, and introduce new products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve customer acceptance. There can be no assurance that any future enhancements to existing products or new products developed or acquired by us will achieve customer acceptance or will adequately address the changing needs of the marketplace. There can also be no assurance that we will be successful in developing, acquiring and marketing new products or enhancements to our existing products that incorporate new technology on a timely basis.

Our growth is dependent, in part, upon the successful development of our indirect sales channels.

We believe that our future growth will depend, in part, on developing and maintaining successful strategic relationships or partnerships with systems integrators and other technology companies. One of our strategies is to continue to increase the proportion of customers served through these indirect channels. Our inability to partner with other technology companies and qualified systems integrators could adversely affect our results of operations. Because lower unit prices are often charged on sales made through indirect channels, increased indirect sales could reduce our average selling prices and result in lower gross margins. As indirect sales increase, our direct contact with our customer base could decrease, and we may have more difficulty accurately forecasting sales, evaluating customer satisfaction and recognizing emerging customer requirements. In addition, sales of our products through indirect channels may reduce our service revenues, as the third-party systems integrators reselling our products provide these services. Further, when third-party integrators install our products and train customers to use our products, it could result in incorrect product installation, failure to properly train the customer, or general failure of an integrator to satisfy the customer, which could have a negative effect on our relationship with the integrator and the customer. Such problems could damage our reputation and the reputation of our products and services. In addition, we may face additional competition from these systems integrators and third-party software providers who develop, acquire or market products competitive with our products.

Our strategy of marketing our products directly to customers and indirectly through systems integrators and other technology companies may result in distribution channel conflicts. Our direct sales efforts may compete with those of our indirect channels and, to the extent different systems integrators target the same customers, systems integrators may also come into conflict with

30

each other. Any channel conflicts that develop may have a material adverse effect on our relationships with systems integrators or hurt our ability to attract new systems integrators to market our products.

If we fail to comply with laws or government regulations, we may be subject to penalties and fines.

We are not directly subject to regulation by any governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, and there are currently few laws or regulations addressing the products and services we provide. We do, however, license our products and provide services, from time to time, to the government, government agencies, and government contractors and to other customers that are in industries regulated by the government. As a result, our operations, as they relate to our relationships with governmental entities and customers in regulated industries, are governed by certain laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are subject to change without notice to us. In some instances, compliance with these laws and regulations may be difficult or costly, which may negatively affect our business and results of operations. In addition, if we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we may be subject to significant penalties and fines that could materially negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial position.

If we are unable to expand our international operations, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

International revenue (from sales outside the United States) accounted for approximately 21% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, and 26% of total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. We maintain an operational presence and have established support offices in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France and Japan. We expect international sales to continue to be a material component of our business. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products. In addition, international expansion may require us to establish additional foreign operations and hire additional personnel. This may require significant management attention and financial resources and could adversely affect our operating margins. To the extent we are unable to expand foreign operations in a timely manner, our growth, if any, in international sales will be limited, and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

The success of our international operations is subject to many uncertainties.

Our international business involves a number of risks, including:

	•	lack of acceptance of localized products;
	•	cultural differences in the conduct of business;
	•	unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations;
	•	longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
	•	greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
	•	seasonality due to the annual slow-down in European business activity during the third calendar quarter;
	•	unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and withholding taxes that restrict the repatriation of earnings;
	•	tariffs and other trade barriers;
	•	the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws; and
	•	negative effects relating to hostilities, war or terrorist acts.

To the extent profit is generated or losses are incurred in foreign countries, our effective income tax rate may be materially and adversely affected. In some markets, localization of our products will be essential to achieve market penetration. We may incur substantial costs and experience delays in localizing our products, and there can be no assurance that any localized product will ever generate significant revenues. There can be no assurance that any of the factors described herein will not have a material adverse effect on our future international sales and operations and, consequently, our business, operating results and financial condition.

We have only limited protection of our proprietary rights and technology.

Our success is heavily dependent upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of the protections provided under applicable copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and license arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, distributors and corporate partners, and license agreements with respect to our software, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain

31

portions of our products or to reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary, to use our products or technology without authorization, or to develop similar technology independently. Moreover, the laws of some countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Furthermore, we have no patents and existing copyright laws afford only limited protection. We license source code for certain of our products and providing such source code may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuses of our intellectual property. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary software against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

We may not be successful in avoiding claims that we infringe other’s proprietary rights.

We are not aware that any of our products, including the products we acquired in the IUS and Wishbone acquisitions, infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that a third-party will not assert that our technology violates its patents or other proprietary rights in the future. Any such claims, with or without merit, can be time consuming and expensive to defend or could require us to enter into royalty and license agreements. Such royalty or license agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

As a result of our lengthy sales cycle and the large size of our typical orders from new customers, any delays we experience will affect our operating results.

The purchase of our software products by a customer generally involves a significant commitment of capital over a long period of time, with the risk of delays frequently associated with large capital expenditures procedures within an organization, such as budgetary constraints and internal approval review. During the sales process, we may devote significant time and resources to a prospective customer, including costs associated with multiple site visits, product demonstrations and feasibility studies, and experience significant delays over which we will have no control. Any such delays in the execution of orders have caused, and may in the future cause, material fluctuations in our operating results.

Customer claims, whether successful or not, could be expensive and could harm our business.

The sale and support of our products may entail the risk of product liability claims. Our license agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in such license agreements may not be effective as a result of federal, state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. A successful product liability claim brought against us relating to our product or third-party software embedded in our products could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

We maintain performance bonds, directly and indirectly, in accordance with certain customer contracts, some of which are collateralized by letters of credit supported by restricted cash. A failed implementation or a significant software malfunction leading to payment under one or more of these bonds, could adversely affect our liquidity.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent or delay a change in control of Indus, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could discourage, delay or prevent an acquisition or other change in control of Indus, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions might also discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a price above the then current market price for our common stock.

These provisions include:

	•	authorization of a stockholder rights plan or “poison pill” to deter a takeover attempt;
	•	authorization of “blank check” preferred stock that our board of directors could issue to thwart a takeover attempt;
	•	limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
	•	limitations on stockholder action by written consent; and

32

•

advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limit our ability to enter into business combination transactions with 15% or greater stockholders that our board of directors has not approved. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiation with the board of directors. These provisions may apply even if some stockholders may consider the transaction beneficial.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price.

We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires an annual management assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing this assessment. During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies or weaknesses which we may not be able to remediate prior to our fiscal year end. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company did not experience any material changes in market risk in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In February 2003, Integral Energy Australia brought a claim against IUS (which was then known as SCT Utility Systems, Inc.) in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, relating to the implementation of IUS software. On March 5, 2003, the Company acquired IUS from Systems and Computer Technology Corporation (“SCT”) and subsequently merged IUS into the Company. The Company is now the defendant in this lawsuit. The amount of damages asserted against the Company is not determinable. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement among the Company and SCT and its affiliates, SCT and those affiliates of SCT that were a party to the Purchase Agreement agreed to defend the Company against the claims in this suit and to indemnify the Company from all losses relating thereto.

From time to time, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in these actions. However, any settlement or judgment may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such settlement or judgment is paid or payment becomes probable. The Company does not believe that, individually or in aggregate, the legal matters to which it is currently a party are likely to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
