Our revenue growth of 12% in the quarter and 13% for the fiscal year was primarily organic. While our license revenue was below expectations for the quarter and fiscal year; the increase in support and services and hardware revenue continued to offset any shortfall. Our managers and employees continued to focus on the business which enabled us to leverage our revenue growth into a 16% increase in net income and a 19% increase in EPS. While paying close attention to our financial performance we also maintained our ongoing focus on meeting our customers needs, and continue to have industry leading customer satisfaction ratings."

Provision for income taxes for the current fiscal year increased 11 percent and is 34.6 percent of income before income taxes compared to 35.8 percent of income before income taxes for fiscal 2006. The effective tax rate change is due to the renewal of the Research and Experimentation Credit retroactive to January 1, 2006.

Fiscal year 2007 net income totaled $104.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $89.9 million, or $0.96 per diluted share in the prior year.

According to Kevin Williams, CFO, "The operating results of the quarter and the year were in-line with our expectations. Our net income increased during the year with the assistance of the change in our effective tax rate due to the extension of the Research and Development Credit ("the R&D Tax Credit") which was retroactive to January 1, 2006. This extension required the recording of an additional six months of R&D credit during the fiscal year related to fiscal 2006, which created a significant tax benefit (approximately $3.0 million or $.03 per diluted share) for fiscal 2007. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 will be dependent somewhat on whether this credit will be extended again as it is now scheduled to lapse on December 31, 2007, and until it is extended we will have to assume in our quarterly provision that it will not be renewed, therefore we are anticipating a higher effective tax rate for fiscal year 2008".
