NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2009 and for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, include the accounts of SeaChange International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“SeaChange” or the “Company”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reports and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of July 31, 2009 and results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended July 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, valuation of investments and income taxes, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and related amortization. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates. The Company has reclassified certain prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Account Standard No. 157 and FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157” and “FSP FAS 157-2”) on February 1, 2008. The adoption of these pronouncements did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS 115”) for its available for sale securities with offsetting unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income or loss. Per SFAS 157, the Company is providing fair value measurement disclosures of its available for sale securities in accordance with one of three levels of fair value measurement.

SFAS 157 defines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It establishes a fair value hierarchy and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in both interim and annual periods. SFAS 157 enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop fair value measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. SFAS 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2009 are as follows:

	July 31,		Fair Value Measurements Using
	2009		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
Financial assets:
Available for sale marketable securities:
Current marketable securities:
U.S. government agency issues	$	8,876	$	8,876	$	-	$	-
Non-current marketable securities:
U.S. government agency issues		12,081		12,081		-		-
State and municipal obligations		1,000		-		-		1,000
Total	$	21,957	$	20,957	$	-	$	1,000

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended July 31, 2009 (in thousands):

	Level 3
	Marketable Securities
Balance at January 31, 2009	$	1,000
Level 3 transfers, net		-
Purchases and sales, net		-
Unrealized (gain) loss recorded in other comprehensive income		-
Balance at July 31, 2009	$	1,000

The Company relies on mark to market valuations to record the fair value of the Company’s available for sale security assets which are measured under a Level 1 input. These assets are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily observable and recorded under the guidelines of SFAS 115. At July 31, 2009, we had $8.9 million in short-term marketable securities and $13.1 million in long-term marketable securities. Of the $22.0 million in available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2009, the Company holds $1.0 million in auction rate securities ("ARS") that were intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate in the event there is no new investment in these securities. Due to the uncertainty in the credit markets, this $1.0 million ARS holding in our investment portfolio has failed to settle on its respective settlement date resulting in illiquidity in this investment. Consequently, we have not been able to access these funds and do not expect to do so until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside the auction process. Although the maturity date of the underlying security of our ARS investment is twenty-two years, we currently have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and access to unused credit facilities to meet our short term liquidity requirements and do not anticipate that we will need to access our ARS investment. Accordingly, the Company has classified this investment at par value which approximates fair value. The following is a summary of available for sale securities.

4. Investments in Affiliates

On Demand Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG

On February 27, 2007, the On Demand Group Limited (“ODG”), a wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary of SeaChange, entered into an agreement with Tele-Munchen Fernseh GmbH & Co. Produktionsgesellschaft (TMG) to create a joint venture named On Demand Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG. On Demand Deutschland specializes in establishing on-demand and pay-per-view services on multiple platforms in German-speaking Europe. ODG contributed $2.8 million to acquire its 50% ownership interest in the joint venture of which $2.6 million consisted of the fair value of customer contracts and content license agreements contributed by ODG and $154,000 represented a cash contribution. The customer contracts and licensed content had no book value. SeaChange determined that this investment is an operating joint venture and does not require consolidation under the accounting guidance of FIN No. 46R. Consequently, SeaChange accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

ODG’s original investment in the joint venture was recorded at $154,000 representing the US dollar equivalent of the initial cash contribution. The difference between the book and fair value of the customer contracts and content license agreements is being accreted over the expected five year life of the contracts and recorded as a gain and an increase in the investment. This gain will be partially offset by ODG’s 50% share of the joint venture’s amortization expense over the same period related to the acquired contracts and content license agreements. ODG also recorded a net payable amount to the joint venture of $337,000 as of the joint venture formation date (February 27, 2007) reflecting the transfer of net liabilities incurred by ODG related to the joint venture as well as the joint venture’s reimbursement of previously incurred costs by ODG of $787,000 related to joint venture activities prior to its formation. Consistent with EITF 89-7, Exchange of Assets or Interest in a Subsidiary for a Noncontrolling Equity Interest in a New Entity, ODG did not record other income in connection with the reimbursement of these costs or any other gains as ODG is deemed to have a commitment to support the operations of the joint venture. ODG treated the reimbursement and other gain for a total of $869,000 as a capital distribution in excess of the carrying value of its investment in the joint venture. This capital distribution will be accreted over the expected five year life of the customer contracts and recorded as a gain and an increase in the investment in the joint venture.

ODG entered into a Service Agreement with the joint venture whereby ODG provides content aggregation, distribution, marketing and administration services to the joint venture under an arm’s length fee structure. In the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, ODG recorded revenues of $379,000 and $723,000, respectively, and $376,000 and $957,000 respectively, related to the Service Agreement. ODG’s share of profits from this agreement in proportion to its equity ownership interest is eliminated in consolidation.

The Shareholder’s Agreement requires ODG to provide cash contributions up to $4.2 million (USD equivalent) upon the request of the joint venture’s management and approval by the shareholders of the joint venture. In February 2009, ODG made an additional cash contribution of $212,000 to the joint venture.

ODG recorded its proportionate share of the joint venture’s losses for the three months ending July 31, 2009 and 2008 of $47,000 and $114,000, respectively. For the six months ending July 31, 2009 and 2008, ODG recorded losses of $244,000 and $397,000, respectively. Due to the capital distribution and ODG’s share of the joint venture’s net loss exceeding the book value of its investment in the joint venture, the investment is recorded as a long-term liability of $1.9 million and $1.6 million at July 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, respectively.

Casa Systems, Inc

In June of 2009, the Company invested $654,000 in convertible preferred stock, preserving its 19.8% ownership interest of Casa Systems, Inc., a Massachusetts company that specializes in video processing products primarily for cable television companies. Consistent with prior periods, SeaChange accounts for this investment under the cost method of accounting.

5. Acquisitions

On November 19, 2008, ODG entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by ODG of all the outstanding capital stock (the “Mobix Shares”) of Mobix Interactive Limited (“Mobix”). Mobix is a London, England based company that provides software and content services related to the deployment of mobile video services for wireless network operators.

At the closing, ODG paid the shareholders of Mobix approximately $3.0 million in cash for the Mobix Shares. The £1 million (approximately $1.5 million) deposited in escrow was subsequently returned to ODG on May 27, 2009 due to Mobix failing to meet certain performance goals within the Share Purchase Agreement. In addition, on March 16, 2009, ODG paid $700,000 to the former shareholders of Mobix due to Mobix achieving one of the performance goals within the Share Purchase Agreement and is reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation.

In addition, under the earnout provisions in the Share Purchase Agreement, if Mobix meets certain performance goals over the three year period ending November 19, 2011, primarily related to the financial performance of Mobix, SeaChange will be obligated to make additional cash payments aggregating £8.3 million (approximately $12.4 million USD). The contingent consideration will be reduced or increased based upon Mobix’s actual performance relative to the performance goals.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Mobix’s business have been consolidated subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company is currently undergoing a valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired and it is expected to finalize the purchase price allocation by the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminarily, based on the Company’s best estimates of fair values as of November 19, 2008 and is as follows, subject to the final valuation results (in thousands):

Consideration:
Cash paid, net of cash acquired of $209	$	3,514
Transaction costs		413
Total consideration	$	3,927
Preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration:
Liabilities assumed	$	(898	)
Deferred tax liability	$	(1,185	)
Tangible assets acquired		592
Intangible assets		4,233
Goodwill		1,185
	$	3,927

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company has estimated, based on a preliminary third party valuation report, the fair value of the acquired intangible assets to be $4.2 million which resulted in the reallocation of the previously recorded goodwill. In addition, the Company recorded the estimated deferred tax liabilities related to the temporary tax and book difference on amortization expense of the estimated acquired intangible assets.

SeaChange determined that the goodwill included the value of the Mobix work force and expected synergies in global sales and marketing, especially within the European market, and in content services related to the deployment of mobile video services for wireless network operators. The goodwill generated from the acquisition is not tax deductible. The acquired assets, including goodwill, have been assigned to the Media Services operating segment.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

ARRIS Litigation

On July 31, 2009, Arris Corporation filed a contempt motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against SeaChange International relating to U.S. Patent No 5,805,804, a patent owned by Arris Corporation. In its motion, Arris Corporation is seeking further patent royalties and the enforcement of the permanent injunction entered by the Court on April 6, 2006 against certain of SeaChange products. In response, on August 3, 2009, SeaChange filed a complaint seeking a declaratory judgment from the Court to declare that its products are non-infringing with respect to the ‘804 patent and asserting certain equitable defenses.

On August 25, 2009, Arris Corporation filed 1) an answer to SeaChange’s complaint that included a counterclaim of patent infringement under the ‘804 patent; and 2) a motion to stay the declaratory judgment action until the resolution of the contempt motion. SeaChange has filed a motion to consolidate the Arris contempt motion with SeaChange’s declaratory judgment action. SeaChange believes that Arris’ contempt motion is without merit, and that SeaChange products do not infringe the remaining claims under the ‘804 patent.

Indemnification and Warranties

SeaChange provides indemnification, to the extent permitted by law, to its officers, directors, employees and agents for liabilities arising from certain events or occurrences while the officer, director, employee, or agent is or was serving at SeaChange’s request in such capacity. With respect to acquisitions, SeaChange provides indemnification to or assumes indemnification obligations for the current and former directors, officers and employees of the acquired companies in accordance with the acquired companies’ bylaws and charter. As a matter of practice, SeaChange has maintained directors and officers’ liability insurance including coverage for directors and officers of acquired companies.

SeaChange enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers. Most of these agreements require SeaChange to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to SeaChange’s products. From time to time, SeaChange also indemnifies customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of SeaChange’s products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of SeaChange, its employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. For example, SeaChange has received requests from several of its customers for indemnification of patent litigation claims asserted by Acacia Media Technologies, USA Video Technology Corporation, Multimedia Patent Trust, and VTran Media Technologies. Management performed an analysis of these requests under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”) as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN45”).

SeaChange warrants that its products, including software products, will substantially perform in accordance with its standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery. Most warranties have at least a one year duration that generally commence upon installation. In addition, SeaChange provides maintenance support to customers and therefore allocates a portion of the product purchase price to the initial warranty period and recognizes revenue on a straight line basis over that warranty period related to both the warranty obligation and the maintenance support agreement. When SeaChange receives revenue for extended warranties beyond the standard duration, it is deferred and recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period. Related costs are expensed as incurred.

In the ordinary course of business, SeaChange provides minimum purchase guarantees to certain of its vendors to ensure continuity of supply against the market demand. Although some of these guarantees provide penalties for cancellations and/or modifications to the purchase commitments as the market demand decreases, most of the guarantees do not. Therefore, as the market demand decreases, SeaChange re-evaluates the accounting implications of guarantees and determines what charges, if any, should be recorded.

With respect to its agreements covering product, business or entity divestitures and acquisitions, SeaChange provides certain representations and warranties and agrees to indemnify and hold such purchasers harmless against breaches of such representations, warranties and covenants. With respect to its acquisitions, SeaChange may, from time to time, assume the liability for certain events or occurrences that took place prior to the date of acquisition.

SeaChange provides such guarantees and indemnification obligations after considering the economics of the transaction and other factors including but not limited to the liquidity and credit risk of the other party in the transaction. SeaChange believes that the likelihood is remote that any such arrangement could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operation or liquidity. SeaChange records liabilities, as disclosed above, for such guarantees based on the Company’s best estimate of probable losses which considers amounts recoverable under any recourse provisions.

7. Treasury Stock

On March 11, 2009, SeaChange’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, through a share repurchase program. As authorized by the program, shares may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in a manner consistent with applicable securities laws and regulations, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan maintained by the Company. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. All repurchases are expected to be funded from the Company’s current cash and investment balances. The timing and amount of the shares to be repurchased will be based on market conditions and other factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and alternative investment opportunities. The repurchase program is scheduled to terminate on January 31, 2010. There were no stock purchases during the quarter ended July 31, 2009. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company repurchased 298,415 shares at a cost of $1.7 million.

8. Segment Information

The Company is managed and operated as three segments, Software, Servers and Storage, and Media Services, as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. A description of the three reporting segments is as follows:

Software segment includes product revenues from the Company’s Advertising, VOD, Middleware and Broadcast software, related services such as professional services, installation, training, project management, product maintenance, technical support and software development for those software products, and operating expenses relating to the Software segment such as research and development, selling and marketing and amortization of intangibles.
Servers and Storage segment includes product revenues from the VOD and Broadcast server product lines and related services such as professional services, installation, training, project management, product maintenance, and technical support for those products and operating expenses relating to the Servers and Storage segment, such as research and development and selling and marketing.
Media Services segment includes the operations of ODG, including Mobix Interactive, Inc. activities which include content acquisition and preparation services for television and wireless service providers and related operating expenses.

Under this reporting structure, the Company further determined that there are significant functions, and therefore costs, that are considered corporate expenses and are not allocated to the reportable segments for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. These unallocated costs include general and administrative expenses, other than general and administrative expenses related to Media Services, interest and other income, net, taxes and equity losses in earnings of affiliates, which are managed separately at the corporate level.

The basis of the assumptions for all such revenues, costs and expenses includes significant judgments and estimations. There are no inter-segment revenues for the periods shown below. The Company does not separately track all assets by operating segments nor are the segments evaluated under this criterion. The following summarizes the revenues, gross profit, operating expenses and income from operations by reportable segment:

The following summarizes revenues by significant customer where such revenue exceeded 10% of total revenues for the indicated period:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	July 31,					July 31,
	2009		2008			2009			2008

Customer C	10	%	-		*	10	%		-		*
Customer D	10	%	-		*	-		*	-		*

* Denotes a percentage less than 10%

International sales accounted for approximately 40% and 33% of total revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, international sales accounted for approximately 33% and 32% of total revenue, respectively. In light of the high proportion of revenues derived from our international businesses, we expect that any adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates could have an impact on our future translated results within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At July 31, 2009, four different customers accounted for approximately 16%, 15%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of the accounts receivable and unbilled receivables balances, and at January 31, 2009, two customers accounted for 27% and 14%, respectively, of SeaChange’s accounts receivable and unbilled receivables balances.

Goodwill allocated to the Company’s reportable segments and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were as follows:

	Goodwill
	Software		Servers & Storage		Media Services			Total
	(in thousands)
Balance at January 31, 2009	$	10,162	$	754	$	16,506		$	27,422
Reallocation of previously recorded Mobix goodwill *		-		-		(3,365	)		(3,365	)
Adjusted Mobix goodwill (Note 5)						1,185			1,185
Cumulative translation adjustment		-		-		2,111			2,111
Balance at July 31, 2009	$	10,162	$	754	$	16,437		$	27,353

* During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company has estimated, based on a preliminary third party valuation, the fair value of the acquired intangible assets to be $4.2 million which resulted in the reallocation of the previously recorded goodwill of $3.3 million and the payment made to the former shareholders of Mobix on March 10, 2009 of $700,000.

9. Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $12,000 on losses before taxes and equity losses in earnings of affiliates of $341,000 and an income tax provision of $232,000 on income before taxes and equity losses in earnings of affiliates of $1.1 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of (3%) and 21%, respectively. We expect that an increasing percentage of our consolidated pre-tax income will be derived from, and reinvested in, our international operations. We anticipate that this pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at relatively lower tax rates when compared to the United States federal statutory tax rate in future periods. However, there are current U.S. tax proposals that may, if enacted, limit the ability of U.S. companies to continue to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings.

As of July 31, 2009, the Company has maintained the full valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets primarily due to the uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient pre-tax income for fiscal 2010 and thereafter. If SeaChange generates sufficient pre-tax income in the future, some portion or all of the valuation allowance could be reversed and a corresponding increase in net income would be reported in future periods.

10. Comprehensive Income

During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2010, the U.S. dollar weakened against foreign currencies held by our subsidiaries. For the three and six months ending July 31, 2009, the Company’s Media Services operations in the United Kingdom generated a foreign currency gain of $3.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which was recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income increasing the Company’s equity section of the balance sheet over the prior period.

The components of comprehensive income consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 31,						July 31,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(in thousands)
Net (loss) income	$	(376	)	$	1,487		$	622		$	1,830
Other comprehensive income (loss):
Foreign currency translation adjustment		3,622			(31	)		4,457			(207	)
Unrealized loss on marketable securities, net of tax		(67	)		(164	)		(108	)		(278	)
Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax		3,555			(195	)		4,349			(485	)
Comprehensive income	$	3,179		$	1,292		$	4,971		$	1,345

11. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires the presentation of “basic” earnings per share and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the weighted average number of shares of potential common stock, such as stock options and restricted stock units and warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, 4,954,000 and 3,690,000 common stock equivalents respectively were anti-dilutive. The number of options that were anti-dilutive at July 31, 2009 include 618,000 shares, whose dilutive effect was not included in the calculation as a result of the Company’s net losses for the quarter.

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2008, 3,683,000 and 4,156,000 common stock equivalents respectively were anti-dilutive.

Below is a summary of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted income per share for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 31,		July 31,
	2009	2008	2009	2008
	(in thousands)
Weighted average shares used in calculating
earnings per share—Basic	30,795	30,684	30,821	30,837
Dilutive common stock options	-	464	468	418
Weighted average shares used in calculating
earnings per share—Diluted	30,795	31,148	31,289	31,255

12. Subsequent Event

On September 1, 2009, SeaChange completed the acquisition of all of the issued share capital of eventIS Group B.V, (“eventIS”), a privately owned company based in the Netherlands. eventIS provides VOD and linear broadcast solutions and related services to cable television and broadcast customers primarily in Europe. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, SeaChange paid $36.6 million upon the closing of the transaction on September 1, 2009. In addition, SeaChange is obligated to pay €1.2 million (approximately $1.7 million) in cash to the former eventIS shareholders on each of the first three anniversary dates following the acquisition. SeaChange is also obligated on each of the aforementioned anniversary dates to issue shares of restricted stock of SeaChange equating to €800,000 (approximately $1.1 million) annually to the former eventIS shareholders. The purchase price will also include a performance-based component principally related to the achievement of certain annual revenue targets for eventIS and SeaChange products and services. The revenue performance metrics will cover the three year period ending January 31, 2013 with payment upon achievement of these metrics occurring annually. SeaChange incurred a total of approximately $500,000 of transaction expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 which were expensed as general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. SeaChange expects to incur further transactions costs associated with the acquisition of eventIS during its third quarter.

13. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “(FASB) issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140 (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity," changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity's continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity and replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Also, SFAS 167 requires an ongoing assessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended approach focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 will become effective for the first annual period starting after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of the Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) uses the fair value definition in SFAS 157, which defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” SFAS 141(R) also changes the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141 (R). SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and was adopted by the Company on February 1, 2009. See Note 12 for disclosures relating to the acquisition of eventIS Group B.V. which was completed on September 1, 2009.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). This statement incorporates accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events into U.S. GAAP. The requirements of SFAS 165 for subsequent-events accounting and disclosure are not significantly different from those in existing auditing standards, which SeaChange has historically followed for financial reporting purposes. As a result, SeaChange does not believe this standard had any material impact on its financial statements. The Company evaluated its July 31, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through the date of issuance of these interim financial statements, which is September 8, 2009. Other than the definitive agreement entered into on September 1, 2009 for the purchase of all outstanding shares of eventIS Group B.V., further detailed in Note 12, the Company is not aware of any other subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards:

FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.
FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, and is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures.
FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities.

Upon implementation during SeaChange’s second quarter of fiscal 2010, the FASB Staff Positions (“FSP) did not have a material impact on SeaChange’s consolidated financial statements. The additional disclosures related to FSP’s are included in Note 2.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially due to competitive factors and other factors referred to in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Overview

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of digital video systems and services including the management, aggregation, licensing, storage, and distribution of video, television, gaming and advertisement content to cable system operators, telecommunications companies and broadcast television companies.

The Company is managed and operated as three segments, Software, Servers and Storage, and Media Services, as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. A description of the three reporting segments is as follows:

Software segment includes product revenues from the Company’s Advertising, VOD, Middleware and Broadcast software, related services such as professional services, installation, training, project management, product maintenance, technical support and software development for those software products, and operating expenses relating to the Software segment such as research and development, selling and marketing and amortization of intangibles.
Servers and Storage segment includes product revenues from VOD and Broadcast server product lines and related services such as professional services, installation, training, project management, product maintenance, and technical support for those products and operating expenses relating to the Servers and Storage segment, such as research and development and selling and marketing.
Media Services segment includes the operations of ODG, including Mobix Interactive, Inc. activities which include content acquisition and preparation services for television and wireless service providers and related operating expenses.

The Company determined there are significant functions, and therefore costs, which are considered corporate expenses and are not allocated to the reportable segments for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. These unallocated costs include general and administrative expenses, other than general and administrative expenses related to Media Services, interest and other income, net, taxes and equity losses in earnings of affiliates, which are managed separately at the corporate level.

We have experienced fluctuations in our product revenues from quarter to quarter due to the timing of the receipt of customer orders and the shipment of those orders. The factors that impact the timing of the receipt of customer orders include among other factors:

the customer’s receipt of authorized signatures on their purchase orders;
the budgetary approvals within the customer’s company for capital purchases; and
the ability to process the purchase order within the customer’s organization in a timely manner.

Factors that may impact the shipment of customer orders include:

the availability of material to produce the product;
the time required to produce and test the product before delivery; and
the customer’s required delivery date.

The delay in the timing of receipt and shipment of any one customer order can result in significant fluctuations in our revenue reported on a quarterly basis.

Our operating results are significantly influenced by a number of factors, including the mix of products sold and services provided, pricing, costs of materials used in our products and the expansion of our operations during the fiscal year. We price our products and services based upon our costs and consideration of the prices of competitive products and services in the marketplace. The costs of our products primarily consist of the costs of components and subassemblies that have generally declined from product introduction to product maturity. As a result of the growth of our business, our operating expenses have historically increased in the areas of research and development, selling and marketing and administration. In the current state of the economy, we currently expect that customers may still have limited capital spending budgets as we believe they are dependent on advertising revenues to fund their capital equipment purchases. Accordingly, we expect our financial results to vary from quarter to quarter and our historical financial results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. In light of the higher proportion of our international business, we expect movements in foreign exchange rates to have a greater impact on our operating results and the equity section of our balance sheet in the future.

Our ability to continue to generate revenues within the markets that our products are sold and to generate cash from operations and net income is dependent on several factors which include:

market acceptance of the products and services offered by our customers and increased subscriber usage and demand for these products and services;
selection by our customers of our products and services versus the products and services being offered by our competitors;
our ability to introduce new products to the market in a timely manner and to meet the demands of the market for new products and product enhancements;
our ability to maintain gross margins from the sale of our products and services at a level that will provide us with cash to fund our operations given the pricing pressures within the market and the costs of materials to manufacture our products; and
our ability to control operating costs given the fluctuations that we have experienced with revenues from quarter to quarter.
our ability to successfully integrate businesses acquired by us, including eventIS Group B.V. and Mobit Interactive, Ltd.

Product Revenues. Product revenues decreased 23% to $22.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2009 from $29.5 million in the three months ended July 31, 2008. Product revenues from the Software segment accounted for 64% of the total product revenue for both the three months ended July 31, 2009, and 2008. The Servers and Storage segment accounted for 36% of total product revenues for both the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. The decrease in product revenues is due to lower sales of our Broadcast products driven by the impact of reduced advertising revenues on broadcasters’ capital spending and lower North American Advertising Insertion license revenues.

Services Revenues. Our Services revenues increased 13% year over year to $23.9 million in the three months ended July 31, 2009 from $21.2 million in the three months ended July 31, 2008. For both the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, Services revenues for the Software segment accounted for 65% of the total services revenue. Servers and Storage services revenue accounted for 15% and 17% of total services revenue and Media Services accounted for 20% and 18% of total services revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increased Service revenues is due to higher revenues from On Demand Group primarily from two customer contract wins that occurred in the second half of fiscal 2009 and increased VOD professional service revenues year over year.

For the three months ended July 31, 2009, four customers accounted for more than 54% of our total revenues, and two customers accounted for more than 48% of our total revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2008. Revenue from each of these customers was comprised of Software and Servers and Storage segment revenues. We believe that a significant amount of our revenues will continue to be derived from a limited number of customers.

International sales accounted for approximately 40% and 33% of total revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect that international products and services revenues will remain a significant portion of our business in the future. A majority of our international sales are denominated in United States dollars (USD), and for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 approximately 75% and 76% of international revenues, respectively, were denominated in USD, lessening the exposure of the Company’s revenues to currency fluctuations.

Software Revenues. Revenues from our Software segment for the three months ended July 31, 2009 decreased $2.5 million, or an 8% decrease compared to the three months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in software product revenues were due to lower TV Navigator license revenues and lower software licensing revenues from Advertising and Broadcast products resulting from less capital spending by North American advertisers and broadcasters. The decrease in software product revenues was partially offset by higher software subscription revenues resulting from the renewal of subscription agreements during the quarter and higher VOD license revenues. In addition, lower software product revenues were also partially offset by higher software services revenues primarily due to higher VOD product maintenance revenue and other technical support services revenue from growth in our installed base of products.

Servers and Storage Revenues. Revenues from the Servers and Storage segment for the three months ended July 31, 2009 decreased $2.4 million or 17% compared to related revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in these product revenues compared to the same quarter in the previous year was primarily due to lower Broadcast server revenue as broadcast customers curtailed their capital spending year over year. This was partially offset by strong VOD server shipments to customers in North America, Latin America and China.

Media Services. Revenues from Media Services increased by approximately $722,000 or 19% in the three months ended July 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2008. The increase in this revenue was due primarily to contract wins in Greece and Turkey that occurred in the second half of fiscal 2009. Excluding the impact of currency rate differences, Media Services revenue would have grown 46% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Product Gross Profit. Costs of product revenues consist primarily of the cost of purchased material components and subassemblies, labor and overhead relating to the final assembly and testing of complete systems and related expenses. The gross profit percentage for products increased from 56% in the three months ended July 31, 2008 to 66% in the three months ended July 31, 2009. The year over year increase was due mainly to a favorable product mix of higher margin software subscription revenues combined with lower Broadcast server products which typically carry lower margins.

Services Gross Profit. Cost of services revenues consist primarily of labor, materials and overhead relating to the installation, training, product maintenance and technical support, software development, project management and costs associated with providing video content services. The gross profit percentage for services decreased from 39% in the three months ended July 31, 2008 to 37% in the three months ended July 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to higher headcount costs for the Media Services segment compared to last year’s second fiscal quarter.

Software Revenues Gross Profit. Software segment gross margin of 61% for the three months ended July 31, 2009 was five percentage points higher compared to the three months ended July 31, 2008. The increase in software gross margins is due mainly to higher software subscription revenues primarily from the renewal of our agreement with Comcast during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Servers and Storage Gross Profit. Servers and Storage segment gross margin of 44% in the three months ended July 31, 2009 was two percentage points higher than in the three months ended July 31, 2008 due mainly to higher sales volume-related VOD server gross margins and a lower proportion of lower margin Broadcast server revenue.

Media Services Gross Profit. Media Services segment gross margin of 5% in the three months ended July 31, 2009 was seven percentage points lower than gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2008 due principally to the overlap of increased headcount related costs associated with bringing all content processing in-house combined with the continued third party costs during this transition during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the compensation of development personnel, depreciation of development and test equipment and an allocation of related facilities expenses. Research and development expenses increased from $11.0 million, or 22% of total revenues, in the three months ended July 31, 2008, to $12.0 million or 26% of total revenues, in the three months ended July 31, 2009. The increase year over year is primarily due to increased headcount costs related to the VOD servers and TV Navigator product lines.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses, including sales commissions, travel expenses and certain promotional expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $7.3 million, or 14% of total revenues, in the three months ended July 31, 2008, to $6.3 million, or 13% of total revenues, in the three months ended July 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to lower travel expenses of $300,000, lower marketing-related expenses of $200,000 and lower third party commissions of $300,000.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the compensation of executive, finance, human resource and administrative personnel, legal and accounting services and an allocation of related facilities expenses. In the three months ended July 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.2 million, or 11% of total revenues, from $4.8 million, or 9% of total revenues, in the three months ended July 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to $500,000 of transaction expenses related to the acquisition of eventIS Group B.V. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 141(R), the Company is now required to expense acquisition-related costs in its general and administrative expenses whereas prior to the adoption of SFAS 141(R), such costs were capitalized as part of the purchase price allocated to assets and liabilities acquired.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of acquired intangible assets which are operating expenses and not considered costs of revenues. In the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, amortization expense was $794,000 and $397,000, respectively. The increase was due to the amortization of the intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Mobix Interactive on November 18, 2008. An additional $30,000 and $47,000 of amortization expense related to acquired technology was charged to cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the future, SeaChange expects to have a higher amortization expense as a result of the recent acquisitions of Mobix on November 19, 2008 and eventIS on September 1, 2009. The Company expects to complete valuations for Mobix and eventIS during the second half of fiscal 2010.

Interest and Other Income, net. Interest and other income, net was $149,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2009, compared to $678,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in interest and other income, net is primarily due to a $400,000 decrease in interest income resulting from lower investment yields and $159,000 of translation losses at our various foreign subsidiaries (where the functional currency is the US Dollar) derived from fluctuations in exchange rates between the various currencies and the U.S. dollar.

Equity Loss in Earnings of Affiliates. Equity loss in earnings of affiliates was $47,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2009 in comparison to equity loss in earnings of affiliates of $114,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2008. For the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, $192,000 and $776,000, respectively, of equity loss was recognized from On Demand Deutschland, net of $155,000 and $662,000, respectively, in accreted gains related to customer contracts and content licensing agreements and a capital distribution related to reimbursement of previously incurred costs.

Income Tax Provision and Benefit. For the three months ended July 31, 2009, we recorded an income tax benefit of $12,000 on a loss before tax of $341,000 resulting in an effective tax rate of (3%). The income tax provision was attributable to the reduction of our deferred tax liabilities related to the Mobix intangibles, offset by our tax expense on foreign source income which are taxed at lower rates than in the U.S.. For the three months ended July 31, 2008, we recorded an income tax provision of $208,000 on income before taxes of $1.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%.

As of July 31, 2009, the Company has maintained the full valuation allowance against its net U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets primarily due to the uncertainties related to our ability to generate sufficient pre-tax income for fiscal 2010 and thereafter. If we generate sufficient pre-tax income in the future, some portion or all of the valuation allowance could be reversed and a corresponding increase in net income would be reported in future periods.

Product Revenues. Product revenues decreased 13% to $49.0 million in the six months ended July 31, 2009 from $56.5 million in the six months ended July 31, 2008. Product revenues from the Software segment accounted for 63% and 67% of the total product revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Servers and Storage segment accounted for 37% and 33% of total product revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The $7.5 million decrease in product revenues between years is primarily due to lower sales of our Broadcast products driven by the impact of reduced advertising revenues on broadcasters’ capital spending and lower North American Advertising Insertion license revenue.

Services Revenues. Our Services revenues increased 17% year over year to $46.4 million in the six months ended July 31, 2009 from $39.6 million in the six months ended July 31, 2008. For the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, Services revenues for the Software segment accounted for 65% and 62% of the total services revenue, respectively. Servers and Storage services revenue accounted for 16% and 18% of total services revenue and Media Services accounted for 19% and 20% of total services revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The $6.8 million increase in Services revenues in our Software segment is due to increased VOD support maintenance and professional services and increases in our Media Services segment were due to two customer contract wins that occurred in the second half of fiscal 2009.

For the six months ended July 31, 2009, three customers accounted for more than 48% of our total revenues, and two customers accounted for more than 44% of our total revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2008. Revenue from each of these customers was comprised of Software and Servers and Storage segment revenues. We believe that a significant amount of our revenues will continue to be derived from a limited number of customers.

International sales accounted for approximately 33% and 32% of total revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect that international products and services revenues will remain a significant portion of our business in the future. A majority of our international sales are denominated in United States dollars (USD), and for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 72% and 74% of international revenues, respectively, were earned in USD, lessening the exposure of the Company’s revenues to currency fluctuations.

Software Revenues. Revenues from our Software segment for the six months ended July 31, 2009 decreased $2.0 million, or a 3% decrease compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008. The $7.4 million decrease in product revenue for the Software segment was caused by lower software licensing revenue from our Advertising Insertion products and lower orders from our Broadcast products resulting from less capital spending by broadcasters. In addition, there were also two large nonrecurring orders during our first half of fiscal 2009 for our VODlink and VOD hospitality software products; that were partially offset by higher VOD subscription revenue from the renewal of the Comcast subscription agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The $5.4 million increase in services revenue for the Software segment was primarily due to VOD product maintenance contract revenue and other technical support services revenue from growth in our installed base of products.

Servers and Storage Revenues. Revenues from the Servers and Storage segment for the six months ended July 31, 2009 increased $345,000 or 1% compared to related revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in product revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2009 of $162,000 compared to the same six months in the previous year was primarily due to lower Broadcast server revenues offset by higher VOD server revenues. In addition, lower product revenues were offset by higher service revenues primarily due to higher VOD product maintenance contract revenue and other technical support services revenue from growth in our installed base of products.

Media Services. Revenues from Media Services increased by $914,000 or 12% in the six months ended July 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008. The increase in this revenue was due primarily to recent contract wins in Greece and Turkey in the second half of the last fiscal year.

Product Gross Profit. Costs of product revenues consist primarily of the cost of purchased material components and subassemblies, labor and overhead relating to the final assembly and testing of complete systems and related expenses. The gross profit percentage for products increased from 58% in the six months ended July 31, 2008 to 64% in the six months ended July 31, 2009. The year over year increase in product gross profit percentages between years was due mainly to higher VOD software subscription margins and a lower proportion of lower margin Broadcast revenue.

Services Gross Profit. Cost of services revenues consist primarily of labor, materials and overhead relating to the installation, training, product maintenance and technical support, software development, project management and costs associated with providing video content services. The gross profit percentage for services increased from 37% in the six months ended July 31, 2008 to 38% in the six months ended July 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to increased VOD maintenance revenues due to a larger installed base year over year, partially offset by lower margins in the Media Services segment.

Software Revenues Gross Profit. Software segment gross margin of 59% for the six months ended July 31, 2009 was four percentage points higher compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008. The increase in software gross margins is due mainly to higher Software subscription revenues resulting from the renewal of our agreement with Comcast during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Servers and Storage Gross Profit. Servers and Storage segment gross margin of 47% in the six months ended July 31, 2009 was two percentage points higher compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008. The increase was due to a favorable product mix of higher margin VOD server revenues and lower margin Broadcast revenues.

Media Services Gross Profit. Media Services segment gross margin of 7% in the six months ended July 31, 2009 was eight percentage points lower than gross margin for the six months ended July 31, 2008 due principally to the overlap of increased headcount related costs associated with bringing all content processing in-house combined with the continued third party costs for this transition during the first half of this year. We expect that the third party costs will be minimal going forward.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the compensation of development personnel, depreciation of development and test equipment and an allocation of related facilities expenses. Research and development expenses increased from $21.5 million, or 22% of total revenues, in the six months ended July 31, 2008, to $24.1 million or 25% of total revenues, in the six months ended July 31, 2009. The increase year over year is primarily due to increased headcount costs related to the VOD servers and TV Navigator product lines.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses, including sales commissions, travel expenses and certain promotional expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased from $13.7 million, or 14% of total revenues, in the six months ended July 31, 2008, to $12.5 million, or 13% of total revenues, in the six months ended July 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to lower external commission expense of $200,000, lower travel expenses of $400,000 and lower trade show expenses of $300,000.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the compensation of executive, finance, human resource and administrative personnel, legal and accounting services and an allocation of related facilities expenses. In the six months ended July 31, 2009, general and administrative expenses were flat at $10.1 million, or 11% of total revenues, as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses included approximately $500,000 of transaction expenses related to the acquisition of eventIS Group B.V. during the six months ended July 31, 2009. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 141(R), the Company is now required to expense acquisition-related costs in its general and administrative expenses whereas prior to the adoption of SFAS 141(R), such costs were capitalized as part of the purchase price allocated to assets and liabilities acquired.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of acquired intangible assets which are operating expenses and not considered costs of revenues. In the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, amortization expense was $1.3 million and $793,000, respectively. The increase is due to the estimated amortization of intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Mobix Interactive on November 18, 2008. An additional $60,000 and $94,000 of amortization expense related to acquired technology was charged to cost of sales for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the future, SeaChange expects to have a higher amortization expense as a result of the recent acquisitions of Mobix on November 19, 2008 and eventIS on September 1, 2009. The Company expects to complete valuations for Mobix and eventIS during the third quarter.

Interest and Other Income, net. Interest and other income, net was $285,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2009, compared to $1.5 million in the six months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in interest and other income, net is primarily due to a $873,000 decrease in interest income resulting from lower investment yields and $373,000 of translation losses at our various foreign subsidiaries (where the functional currency is the US Dollar) derived from fluctuations in exchange rates between the various currencies and the U.S dollar.

Equity Loss in Earnings of Affiliates. Equity loss in earnings of affiliates was $244,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2009 in comparison to equity loss in earnings of affiliates of $397,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2008. For the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, $520,000 and $755,000, respectively, of equity loss was recognized from On Demand Deutschland, net of $286,000 and $358,000, respectively, in accreted gains related to customer contracts and content licensing agreements and a capital distribution related to reimbursement of previously incurred costs.

Income Tax Provision. For the six months ended July 31, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of $233,000 on income before tax of $1.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21%. The effective tax rate of 21% was primarily attributable to income in our foreign subsidiaries which are taxed at lower rates than in the U.S. rate of 35%. For the six months ended July 31, 2008, we recorded an income tax provision of $633,000 on income before taxes of $2.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 22%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily with cash on-hand and the proceeds from sales of our common stock. Cash and marketable securities increased $7.7 million from $85.8 million at January 31, 2009 to $93.5 million at July 31, 2009. Working capital, excluding long-term marketable securities, increased from $89.5 million at January 31, 2009 to $89.7 million at July 31, 2009.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.5 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2009 was primarily the result of non-cash expenses of $7.7 million and a decrease of $12.0 million of accounts receivable, resulting from strong collections during the period offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in accrued expenses.

Net cash used by investing activities was $6.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2009 compared to net cash used by investing activities of $4.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. Investment activity for the six months ended July 31, 2009 consisted of net purchases of $300,000 of marketable securities, the purchase of property and equipment of $6.0 million, a $700,000 contingent payment to the former shareholders of Mobix and additional investments in Casa Systems, Inc. of $654,000 and On Demand Deutschland GMBH and CoKG of $212,000.

Net cash used by financing activities was $800,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and net cash used by financing activities was $4.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008. In the six months ended July 31, 2009, the cash used by financing activities was due to the repurchase of $1.7 million of the Company’s stock partially offset by $900,000 from the issuance of common stock in connection with stock option exercises and stock purchases under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

For the six month period ended July 31, 2009 the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents from translating ODG’s cash balances to U.S. dollars from British Pounds resulted in an increase of the cash balance of $600,000.

In connection with our acquisition of eventIS Group B.V., (eventIS), SeaChange paid €25.5 million (approximately $36.6 million) upon the closing of the transaction on September 1, 2009. In addition, SeaChange is obligated to pay annually €1.2 (approximately $1.7 million) million in cash and issue shares of restricted stock of SeaChange equating to €800,000 (approximately $1.1 million) to the former eventIS shareholders on each of the first three anniversary dates following the acquisition. In addition, we have agreed to contingent earnout payments principally related to the achievement of certain annual revenue targets for eventIS products and sales of SeaChange products and services. The revenue performance metrics will cover the three year period ending January 31, 2013 with payment upon achievement of these metrics occurring annually. We incurred a total of approximately $500,000 of transaction expenses, during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 which were expensed as general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. We expect to incur further transactions costs associated with the acquisition of eventIS during our third quarter.

In connection with our acquisition of Mobix, at the closing, we deposited £1 million (approximately $1.5 million) in escrow, which was subsequently returned to ODG on May 27, 2009 due to Mobix failing to meet certain performance goals. In addition, we have agreed to make total contingent earnout cash payments of approximately £8.3 million upon the achievement of certain financial targets measured over defined periods through November 19, 2011.

On February 27, 2007, the On Demand Group Ltd. (“ODG”), a wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary of SeaChange, entered into an agreement with Tele-Munchen Fernseh GmbH & Co. Produktionsgesellschaft to create a joint venture named On Demand Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG. The Shareholder’s Agreement requires ODG to provide cash contributions up to $4.2 million upon the request of the joint venture’s management and approval by the shareholders of the joint venture. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company contributed $212,000.

On March 11, 2009, SeaChange’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, through a share repurchase program. As authorized by the program, shares may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions in a manner consistent with applicable securities laws and regulations, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan maintained by the Company. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. All repurchases are expected to be funded from the Company’s current cash and investment balances. The timing and amount of the shares to be repurchased will be based on market conditions and other factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements and alternative investment opportunities. The repurchase program is scheduled to terminate on January 31, 2010. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the Company repurchased 298,415 shares at a cost of $1.7 million.

On October 31, 2008, RBS Citizens (a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc) extended our $15.0 million revolving line of credit from October 31, 2008 through October 31, 2010. Loans made under this revolving line of credit bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the bank’s prime rate. Borrowings under this line of credit are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The loan agreement requires SeaChange to comply with certain financial covenants. On August 31, 2009, these financial covenants were amended to reflect the acquisition of eventIS. As of July 31, 2009, we were in compliance with the financial covenants and there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit.

We are occasionally required to post letters of credit, issued by a financial institution, to secure certain sales contracts. Letters of credit generally authorize the financial institution to make a payment to the beneficiary upon the satisfaction of a certain event or the failure to satisfy an obligation. The letters of credit are generally posted for one-year terms and are usually automatically renewed upon maturity until such time as we have satisfied the commitment secured by the letter of credit. We are obligated to reimburse the issuer only if the beneficiary collects on the letter of credit. We believe that it is unlikely we will be required to fund a claim under our outstanding letters of credit. As of July 31, 2009, the full amount of the letters of credit of $629,000 was supported by our credit facility.

We believe that existing funds combined with available borrowings under the revolving line of credit and cash provided by future operating activities are adequate to satisfy our working capital, potential acquisitions and capital expenditure requirements and other contractual obligations for the foreseeable future, including at least the next twelve months. In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions, such as our recent acquisition of eventIS on September 1, 2009, that would complement our existing product offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any future transactions of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital or could require us to issue additional stock and dilute existing stockholders. Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including the global economic slowdown as well as conditions in financial markets and the cable and telecom industries. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Effects of Inflation

Management believes that financial results have not been significantly impacted by inflation and price changes in materials we use in manufacturing our products.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Impact of the Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards:

FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.
FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, and is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced disclosures.
FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We face exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily associated with product sales arrangements, European and Asian repatriation or settlement of intercompany payables and receivables among subsidiaries and its parent company, and/or investment/equity contingency considerations denominated in the local currency where the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our international product sales are payable in United States Dollars (USD) or in the case of our Media Services operations in the United Kingdom service sales, payable in GBP, providing a natural hedge for receipts and local payments. In light of the high proportion of our international businesses, we expect the risk of any adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates could have an impact on our translated results within the Combined Statements of Financial Position and Operations. In addition, for the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s Media Services operations in the United Kingdom generated a foreign currency translation gain of $4.5 million and $207,000, respectively, which was recorded as accumulated other comprehensive gain increasing the Company’s equity section of the balance sheet over the prior period.

With the exception of ODG and Mobix, the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for our international subsidiaries. All foreign currency gains and losses are included in interest and other income, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company recorded approximately $80,000 in losses and $46,000 in gains to interest and other income, net, due to international subsidiary translations and cash settlements of revenues and expenses. For the six months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company recorded approximately $155,000 in losses and $201,000 in gains to interest and other income, net, due to international subsidiary translations and cash settlements of revenues and expenses.

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, trade receivables and trade payables approximate fair value at July 31, 2009 due to the short maturities of these instruments. We maintain investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types, and maturities. Our cash and marketable securities include cash equivalents, which we consider to be investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at July 31, 2009, a sharp rise in interest rates should not have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Additionally, our long term marketable investments, which are carried at the lower of cost or market, have fixed interest rates, and therefore are subject to changes in fair value. As a result, we do not currently hedge these market risk exposures.

At July 31, 2009, we had $8.9 million in short-term marketable securities and $13.1 million in long-term marketable securities. Of the $22.0 million in available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2009, the Company holds $1.0 million in auction rate securities ("ARS") that were intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate in the event there is no new investment in these securities. Due to the uncertainty in the credit markets, this $1.0 million ARS holding in our investment portfolio has failed to settle on its respective settlement date resulting in the illiquidity of this investment. Consequently, we have not been able to access these funds and do not expect to do so until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside the auction process. Although the maturity date of the underlying security of our ARS investment is twenty-two years, we currently have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and access to unused credit facilities to meet our short term liquidity requirements and do not anticipate that we will need to access our ARS investment. Accordingly, the Company has classified this investment as long-term and its fair value equals par at maturity.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. William C. Styslinger, III, our Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin M. Bisson, our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Styslinger and Bisson concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report and as of the date of the evaluation.

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting As a result of the evaluation completed by the Company, and in which Messrs. Styslinger and Bisson participated, the Company has concluded that there were no changes during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009 in its internal controls over financial reporting, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Litigation

None

Other Matters

ARRIS Litigation

On July 31, 2009, Arris Corporation filed a contempt motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against SeaChange International relating to U.S. Patent No 5,805,804, a patent owned by Arris Corporation. In its motion, Arris Corporation is seeking further patent royalties and the enforcement of the permanent injunction entered by the Court on April 6, 2006 against certain of our products. In response, on August 3, 2009, we filed a complaint seeking a declaratory judgment from the Court to declare that its products are non-infringing with respect to the ‘804 patent and asserting certain equitable defenses.

On August 25, 2009, Arris Corporation filed 1) an answer to our complaint that included a counterclaim of patent infringement under the ‘804 patent; and 2) a motion to stay the declaratory judgment action until the resolution of the contempt motion. We have filed a motion to consolidate the Arris contempt motion with our declaratory judgment action. We believes that Arris’ contempt motion is without merit, and that our products do not infringe the remaining claims under the ‘804 patent.

Indemnification and Warranties

SeaChange enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with customers, resellers, distributors, integrators and suppliers. Most of these agreements require SeaChange to defend and/or indemnify the other party against intellectual property infringement claims brought by a third party with respect to SeaChange’s products. From time to time, SeaChange also indemnifies customers and business partners for damages, losses and liabilities they may suffer or incur relating to personal injury, personal property damage, product liability, and environmental claims relating to the use of SeaChange’s products and services or resulting from the acts or omissions of SeaChange, its employees, authorized agents or subcontractors. For example, SeaChange has received requests from several of its customers for indemnification of patent litigation claims asserted by Acacia Media Technologies, USA Video Technology Corporation, Multimedia Patent Trust, and VTran Media Technologies. Management performed an analysis of all requests under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”) as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN45”).

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
