Overview
History and Significant Events
2continuous retail operations. Professional services include technology consulting, software customization, staging, implementation, hardware and software maintenance and 24/7 support service capabilities. Agilysys also makes these products and services available to its existing partners and customers. On February 18, 2004, Agilysys completed its second 2004 acquisition. The company acquired substantially all of the assets of Inter-American Data, Inc. (IAD). The purchase price was $38.0 million, and was funded by cash. As with the Kyrus acquisition, the addition of IAD opened up a new market, broadened the companys customer base, and increased its services and product offerings. With this acquisition Agilysys is the leading developer and provider of technology solutions for property and inventory management in the casino and destination resort segments of the hospitality industry in the United States. Most of the major casinos and many of the largest resorts use Agilysys to design, implement and support their property management systems (PMS) for the hotel front office, management accounting, customer service and housekeeping functions. Lodging Management Systems (LMS) by Agilysys is the hospitality industrys leading property management software solution. Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the hospitality industry, the comprehensive solution automates every aspect of hotel operations, allowing properties to provide a higher level of service more efficiently and more cost-effectively. Agilysys supplements its LMS offering with a Materials Management System (MMS) that enables the tracking and replenishment of food, beverage and other perishable and non-perishable inventory. In addition to gaming customers, the market for the MMS products includes restaurant chains and public arenas. With the acquisition of IAD, the company also develops and markets proprietary document management solutions, DataMagine, with a focus on the hospitality, health care, retail and government markets. DataMagine enables the capture, storage, control, manipulation and distribution of scanned and electronically originated images. On May 31, 2005, the company acquired The CTS Corporations (CTS), a leading, independent services organization, specializing in information technology storage solutions for large and medium-sized corporate customers and public-sector clients. CTS has annual revenues of approximately $35 million and, based on the timing of the close of the transaction, is expected to contribute approximately $30 million to 2006 revenues. The purchase price was $27.5 million, which included $2.6 million in assumed debt, and was funded by cash. In addition, the company will pay an earn-out to CTS shareholders based on the acquired business achieving specific financial performance targets. The addition of CTS enhances the companys offering of comprehensive storage solutions.IndustryThe worldwide IT products and services industry generally consists of (1) manufacturers and suppliers which sell directly to distributors, resellers and end-users, (2) distributors, which sell to resellers and, (3) resellers, which sell directly to end-users. A variety of reseller categories exist, including value-added resellers (VARs), corporate resellers, systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), direct marketers and independent dealers. The large number of resellers makes it cost-efficient for suppliers to rely on a small number of distributors to serve this diverse customer base. Similarly, due to the large number of suppliers and products, resellers often cannot or choose not to establish direct purchasing relationships. As a result, many of these resellers are heavily dependent on distribution partners, such as Agilysys, that possess the necessary systems infrastructure, capital, inventory availability, and distribution and integration facilities to provide fulfillment and other services, such as financing, logistics, marketing and technical support. These services allow resellers to reduce or eliminate their inventory and warehouse requirements, and reduce their staffing needs for marketing and systems integration, thereby reducing their costs. Enterprise computer products distribution continues to perform a vital role in delivering IT products to market in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Manufacturers are pursuing strategies to outsource functions such as logistics, order management and technical support to supply chain partners as they look to minimize costs and investments in pre- and post-sales support and focus on their core competencies. Distribution plays an important role in this outsource strategy by allowing the manufacturers to decrease variable costs as the distributors deliver a streamlined approach to an extended customer base through their technically skilled sales organization. The company also believes that suppliers will continue to embrace the
Industry
3distribution channel for enterprise computer solutions in order to maintain sales, marketing and technical expertise in key markets such as the mid-market sector through distribution and the extended reseller network. The economies of scale and reach of large industry-leading enterprise computer solutions providers are expected to continue to be significant competitive advantages in this marketplace. Fiscal 2005 results were favorably impacted by aggressive marketing by Agilysys of hardware, software and services, combined with improving U.S. capital spending in information technology. According to information published in March 2005 by IDC, a leading provider of technology intelligence and market data, U.S. IT spending is projected to grow at approximately 5 to 6 percent in 2006. Since Agilysys is well entrenched in the server, storage and software markets, the company expects to benefit from the projected growth in the overall industry. However, a slowdown in this market could have a negative effect on the companys revenues and results of operations.Products and Services Distributed and Sources of SupplyAgilysys focuses on the distribution and reselling of three specific product areas server and storage hardware, software and services. The company offers mid-range enterprise servers, comprehensive storage solutions including hardware and software, and database, Internet and systems management software. These products are packaged together as new systems or to enhance existing systems, depending on the customers needs. The company also resells supplier-provided services and sells its own proprietary services. Through its acquisition of Kyrus, Agilysys offers specific retail hardware and software products and extensive professional services that ensure continuous retail operations. The professional services include technology consulting, software customization, staging, implementation, hardware and software maintenance and 24/7 support service capabilities. Through its acquisition of IAD, Agilysys offers technology solutions consisting of hardware, software and services for property and inventory management within the hospitality industry. The offerings include Agilysys proprietary MMS and LMS software applications. Also, as a result of this acquisition, the company offers proprietary document management software solutions. The company sells products supplied by five primary suppliers. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, products purchased from the companys two largest suppliers accounted for 88%, 88% and 83%, respectively, of the companys sales volume. The companys largest supplier, IBM, supplied 72%, 72% and 63% of the companys sales volumes in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales of HP products accounted for 16%, 16% and 20% in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The loss of either of the top two suppliers or a combination of certain other suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, results of operations and financial condition unless alternative products manufactured by others are available to the company. In addition, although the company believes that its relationships with suppliers are good, there can be no assurance that the companys suppliers will continue to supply products on terms acceptable to the company. Through distributor agreements with its suppliers, Agilysys is authorized to sell all or some of the suppliers products. The authorization with each supplier is subject to specific terms and conditions regarding such items as product return privileges, price protection policies, purchase discounts and supplier incentive programs such as sales volume incentives and cooperative advertising reimbursements. A substantial portion of the companys profitability results from these supplier incentive programs. These incentive programs are at the discretion of the supplier. From time to time, suppliers may terminate the right of the company to sell some or all of their products or change these terms and conditions or reduce or discontinue the incentives or programs offered. Any such termination or implementation of such changes could have a material negative impact on the companys results of operations.InventoryThe company maintains certain levels of inventory in order to ensure that the lead times to its customers remain competitive. The majority of the products sold by Agilysys are purchased pursuant to distributor agreements, which generally provide for inventory return privileges by the company upon cancellation of a distributor agreement. The distributor agreements also typically provide protection to the company for product obsolescence and price erosion. Along with the companys inventory management policies and practices, these provisions reduce the companys risk of loss due to slow-moving inventory, supplier price reductions, product updates or obsolescence.

Inventory
4 In some cases, the industry practices discussed above are not embodied in agreements and do not protect the company in all cases from declines in inventory value. However, the company believes that these practices provide a significant level of protection from such declines, although no assurance can be given that such practices will continue or that they will adequately protect Agilysys against declines in inventory value. In addition, the companys results of operations depend in part on successful management of the challenges of rapidly changing technology.CustomersAgilysys serves customers in most major and secondary markets of North America. The companys customer base includes VARs, which often are privately held with annual sales that range from approximately $10 million to $400 million, and corporate end-users, which range from medium to large corporations, as well as the public sector. A substantial amount of the companys business, whether through resellers or direct to end-users, is in the mid-market customer segment, which is currently the fastest-growing segment in the industry. No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of Agilysys total sales during 2005, 2004, or 2003.Uneven Sales Patterns and SeasonalityThe company experiences a disproportionately large percentage of quarterly sales in the last month of its fiscal quarters. In addition, the company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Third quarter sales were 32%, 33% and 32% of annual revenues for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Agilysys believes that this sales pattern is industry-wide. Although the company is unable to predict whether this uneven sales pattern will continue over the long term, the company anticipates that this trend will remain the same in the foreseeable future.BacklogThe company historically has not had a significant backlog of orders. There was no significant backlog at March 31, 2005.CompetitionThe distribution and reselling of enterprise computer technology solutions is competitive, primarily with respect to price, but also with respect to service levels. The company faces competition with respect to developing and maintaining relationships with customers. Agilysys competes for customers with other distributors and resellers and occasionally with some of its suppliers. Several of the companys largest distribution competitors are significantly larger; whereas, the companys reseller competitors are typically smaller. Also, it is possible that certain suppliers may decide to distribute products directly, which would further heighten competitive pressures.Growth through AcquisitionsWith the divestiture of IED and cash generated through operations, Agilysys has the flexibility to make acquisitions without immediately increasing leverage or diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The company reviews acquisition prospects that could accelerate the growth of the business by expanding the companys customer base, extending the companys reach into new markets and/or broadening the range of solutions offered by the company. The companys continued growth depends in part on its ability to find suitable acquisition candidates and to consummate and integrate acquisitions. To proceed, the prospect must have an appropriate valuation based on financial performance relative to acquisition price. However, acquisitions always present risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on the companys business and results of operations.EmployeesAs of March 31, 2005, Agilysys had 1,386 employees. The company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, has had no strikes or work stoppages and considers its employee relations to be excellent.

Results of Operations
2005 Compared with 2004
Net Sales and Operating Income
10 Net sales. Of the $219.7 million increase in net sales, $79.7 million is attributable to incremental solutions offerings from the two business acquisitions made during 2004. IAD was acquired on February 17, 2004; thus, it marginally impacted prior year results. In addition, Kyrus only contributed six months of sales activity in 2004 as the business was acquired on September 30, 2003. The remaining $140.0 million increase can be attributed to higher sales volume through the companys distribution business. As discussed below, the sale of server and storage hardware to the companys reseller partners during 2005 reflected the strong demand for information technology by end-user customers. Demand for the products we provide softened, however, towards the end of 2005 resulting in a 4.0% decrease in hardware sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared with the comparable period last year. The increase in full year net sales was attributed to the following changes in net sales by product category compared with the same period last year: hardware sales increased $187.1 million, software sales increased $9.7 million, and services revenue increased $22.9 million. Despite a slight decrease in hardware sales during the fourth quarter of 2005, annual hardware sales were favorably impacted by higher server and storage sales primarily through the companys distribution business. The increase in software sales was mainly the result of proprietary software revenue generated from IAD, which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 2004. Thus, 2005 was favorably impacted by a full year of IAD revenue. The increase in services revenue can be attributed to incremental solutions offerings from the companys two acquisitions made last year. Gross Margin. The $26.5 million increase in gross margin is mainly attributed to incremental sales generated from the two 2004 business acquisitions, which increased gross margin by $24.7 million in 2005. The increase in sales volume in the companys business, excluding the two 2004 business acquisitions, resulted in higher gross margin dollars as well; however, these gains were negatively impacted by a reduction in gross margin percentage year-over-year. The lower levels of gross margin percentage were mainly due to a decrease in gross margin realized on the sale of hardware products, fundamentally the sale of IBM Intel-architecture products. A significant component of gross margin is the realization and timing of incentive payments from the companys suppliers. Incentive programs are principally designed to reward sales performance. The decrease in fourth quarter sales in 2005 compared with 2004 resulted in lower incentive payments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005 versus 2004, which negatively impacted gross margin in the current year. Operating Expenses.The company experienced a $20.0 million increase in operating expenses compared with last year. Operating expenses includes selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and restructuring charges. The increase was primarily caused by higher compensation and benefits costs, which increased $15.4 million, mainly resulting from the two 2004 business acquisitions having a full-year impact in 2005. The higher compensation and benefits also reflect a $3.0 million increase in the companys Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan expense during 2005 as well as a $1.5 million expense to accrue for a long-term incentive plan. Additionally, the company incurred $2.8 million in amortization of intangible assets during 2005 compared with zero in 2004. The intangible assets were recognized in 2005 as the purchase accounting adjustments were finalized for the two business acquisitions made in 2004. Further, professional fees were $2.6 million higher in the current year as a result of acquisition exploration activities and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 professional services. Other activity in operating costs resulted in an overall decrease of $0.8 million during the year compared with last year.Other (Income) Expenses
Other (Income) Expenses
11 The 70.3% decrease in other income, net is explained by a favorable litigation settlement of $5.0 million received in 2004. The 47.1% increase in interest income reflects higher yields earned on the companys short term investments due to a rising interest rate environment experienced during the year. The 36.8% decrease in interest expense is attributable to lower average debt levels in 2005 compared to prior year, as the interest rates applicable to the companys long-term debt are fixed. The companys average long-term debt was $59.6 million in the current year versus $95.2 million last year. The loss on retirement of debt, net of $7.9 million in 2004 relates to the premiums paid, as well as the write-off of other deferred financing fees associated with the companys repurchase of approximately $71.6 million of its Senior Notes, offset by a gain relative to the companys repurchase of approximately $17.0 million of Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. No such repurchases occurred during 2005.Income TaxesThe company recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations at an effective tax rate of 38.1% in 2005 compared with an income tax provision at an effective rate of 36.3% in 2004. The change in rate from 2005 to 2004 was the net sum of the increase in the valuation allowance for Canadian deferred tax assets, the increase in state income tax expense, the decrease in the valuation allowance for state net operating loss carryforwards, and the favorable settlement of state income tax audits in 2004. In 2005, the company recognized a tax benefit of $3.5 million for state income tax net operating loss carryforwards more likely than not to be realized. The benefit is based on managements forecasted taxable income for the 3-year period ending March 31, 2008, significantly discounted to reflect the uncertainty of projecting future events. These net operating loss carryforwards expire, if unused, in years 2008 through 2019. In 2005, the company established a $2.5 million valuation allowance for the Canadian subsidiary deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, because it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In 2005, the company established a $45,000 valuation allowance for Federal net operating loss carryforwards of a non-consolidated affiliated subsidiary. The valuation allowance was established because it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized.2004 Compared with 2003Net Sales and Operating Income

2004 Compared with 2003
12 Gross margin. The 21.2% increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the increase in core business volume, which also resulted in a higher rate of vendor incentives compared with the 2003. Higher sales volumes in the core business resulted in a gross margin increase of $20.9 million. This increase was partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease largely due to a change in sales mix that resulted from an increase in sales volume through distribution to resellers. In addition, the two acquisitions made during 2004 contributed $13.8 million to gross margin, which favorably impacted the overall gross margin percentage. Operating expenses.The 4.7% increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was attributable primarily to the two acquisitions made in 2004, which added $10.7 million of SG&A expense. SG&A expense in the companys core business was $4.2 million lower compared with 2003, which can be credited to the $9.5 million cost savings estimate associated with the restructuring activity in 2003, which was offset by an increase in variable costs related to a 13.7% increase in core business sales volume. Overall, the company was able to reduce SG&A as a percentage of sales from 11.6% to 10.1% by leveraging existing infrastructure while increasing sales volume year over year. In 2003, the company recorded a charge of $20.7 million relating to the sale of the companys Industrial Electronics Division. As a result of this sale, the company restructured its remaining business and facilities to reduce overhead and eliminate assets that were inconsistent with the companys strategic plan and were no longer required. During 2004, additional restructuring costs of $2.5 million were incurred as a result of facility closures, the change in the companys name, and other costs associated with the 2003 reorganization.Other (Income) Expenses
132003. The change in rate from 2003 to 2004 was mainly the result of the settlement of several state income tax audits in 2004.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsThe company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.Contractual ObligationsThe following table provides aggregated information regarding the companys contractual obligations as of March 31, 2005. These obligations are discussed in detail in the preceding paragraphs and notes 7, 8, and 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
The company anticipates that cash on hand, funds from continuing operations, the revolving credit agreement, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to finance acquisitions, capital spending and working capital needs and to service its obligations and other commitments arising during the foreseeable future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
14Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred SecuritiesOn June 15, 2005, the company completed the redemption of its 6.75% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the Securities). The carrying value of the Securities as of March 31, 2005 was $125.3 million. Securities with a carrying value of $105.4 million were redeemed for cash at a total cost of $109.0 million. The company funded the redemption with existing cash. In addition, 398,324 Securities with a carrying value of $19.9 million were converted into common shares of the company. The Securities were converted at the conversions rate of 3.1746 to 1,264,505 common shares of the company. As a result of the redemption, the company will write-off deferred financing fees of $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The financing fees, incurred at the timing of issuing the Securities, were being amortized over a 30-year period ending on March 31, 2028. The Securities were non-voting (except in limited circumstances) and paid quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%. The Securities were convertible into common shares at the rate of 3.1746 common shares for each Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.75 per common share). Approximately $0.1 million of the Securities debt was converted to 6,831 common shares of the company during the current year.Senior NotesThe principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding at March 31, 2005 was $59.4 million. The Senior Notes pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 at an annual rate of 9.5%. Interest accrued on the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2005 was approximately $1.0 million. The indenture under which the Senior Notes were issued limits the creation of liens, sale and leaseback transactions, consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of the companys assets, and indebtedness of the companys restricted subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to mandatory repurchase by the company at the option of the holders in the event of a change in control of the company.Revolving Credit FacilityThe company maintains a revolving credit agreement (Revolver), which provides the ability to borrow up to $100 million, limited to certain borrowing base calculations, and allows for increases under certain conditions up to $150 million during the life of the facility. Advances on the Revolver bear interest at various levels over LIBOR, and a facility fee is required, both of which are determined based on the companys leverage ratio. The Revolver does not contain a pre-payment penalty. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver at March 31, 2005.Cash Flow

Cash Flow
15 Cash flow used for investing activities.Cash used for investing activities during 2005 was for capital expenditures primarily related to information technology infrastructure and facility construction costs. In the comparable period last year, cash used for investing activities included the acquisitions of Kyrus Corporation for approximately $28.7 million (net of cash acquired) and Inter-American Data, Inc. for approximately $38.0 million, and capital expenditures of $1.6 million; offset by proceeds of $12.7 million received in 2004 from the sale of IED in 2003 as well as proceeds of $3.3 million from the sale of the companys investment in Eurodis Electron PLC (Eurodis). The company recognized a gain of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of its investment in Eurodis, which was recorded as an adjustment to reconcile income from continuing operations to net cash used for operating activities. The estimated capital expenditures for 2006 are expected to be between $2.0 and $4.0 million and primarily relate to information systems and facility projects. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded by existing cash. Cash flow provided by (used for) financing activities. During 2005, the company paid dividends of approximately $3.3 million. Cash was also used for payments under the companys capital lease obligations, which were $0.4 million in 2005 and classified within the other category. This activity was offset primarily by proceeds of $4.0 million received from the issuance of common stock under the companys stock-based compensation plans. During 2004, cash used for financing activities was mainly used for the repurchase of Securities for approximately $17.0 million, the repurchase of Senior Notes for approximately $79.8 million, and dividend payments of approximately $3.5 million. As noted above, on June 15, 2005 the company completed the redemption of its Securities. Securities with a carrying value of $105.4 million were redeemed for cash at a total cost of $109.0 million. In addition, 398,324 Securities with a carrying value of $19.9 million were converted into common shares of the company. The carrying value of the Securities was $125.3 million at March 31, 2005.Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates & AssumptionsThe companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting policies. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring and contingencies and litigation. 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. The companys most significant accounting policies relate to the sale, purchase, distribution and promotion of its products. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of the companys consolidated financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on managements judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. No material adjustments to the companys accounting policies were made in 2005. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Revenue recognition.The company derives revenue from three primary sources: server and storage hardware, software, and services. Revenue is recorded in the period in which the goods or services are rendered and when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The company reduces revenue for discounts, sales incentives, estimated customer returns and other allowances. Discounts are offered based on the volume of products and services purchased. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates & Assumptions
16 Regarding hardware sales, revenue is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are not unfulfilled obligations that affect the customers final acceptance of the arrangement. A portion of the companys hardware sales involves shipment directly from its suppliers to the end-user customers. In such transactions, the company is responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the supplier, establishing payment terms with the customer, product returns, and bears credit risk if the customer does not pay for the goods. As the principal with the customer, the company recognizes revenue and cost of goods sold when it is notified by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized at the point of destination. Regarding software sales, the company offers proprietary software as well as remarketed software to its customers. Generally, software sales do not require significant production, modification, or customization at the time of shipment (physically or electronically) to the customer. As such, revenue from both proprietary and remarketed software sales is generally recognized when the software has been shipped. For software delivered electronically, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer either takes possession of the software via downloading or has been provided with the requisite codes that allow for immediate access to the software. Regarding sales of services, the company offers proprietary and third-party services to its customers. Proprietary services generally are as follows: consulting, installation, integration, and maintenance. Revenue relating to consulting, installation, and integration services is recognized when the service is performed. Revenue relating to maintenance services is recognized evenly over the coverage period of the underlying agreement. In addition to proprietary services, the company offers third-party service contracts to its customers. In such instances, the supplier is the primary obligor in the transaction and the company bears credit risk in the event of nonpayment by the customer. Since the company is acting as an agent or broker with respect to such sales transactions, the company reports revenue at the time of executing the transaction in the amount of the commission (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.The company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as historical trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of the companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk the company performs frequent credit evaluations of its customers. Inventories.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method. The companys inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions governing price protection, stock rotation (right of return status), and technological obsolescence, as well as turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. The company provides a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors including an analysis of historical sales of products, the age of the inventory and return provisions provided by the distribution agreements. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Deferred Taxes. The carrying value of the companys deferred tax assets is dependent upon the companys ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Should the company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be expensed in the period such determination was made. The company presently records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that the company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount (including valuation allowance), an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would decrease tax expense in the period such determination was made.
17 Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets.In assessing the recoverability of the companys goodwill and other long-lived assets, significant assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets must be made, as well as the related estimated useful lives. The fair value of goodwill is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation model. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future as a result of changes in strategy or market conditions, the company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the period such determination was made. For further information concerning the companys calculation of impairment, see notes 1 and 5 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Restructuring and Other Special Charges.The company has recorded a reserve in connection with reorganizing its ongoing business subsequent to its sale of IED in 2003. This reserve principally includes estimates related to employee separation costs, the consolidation and impairment of facilities and other assets deemed inconsistent with continuing operations. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Determination of the impairment of assets is discussed above in Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. Facilities reserves are calculated using a probability-weighted present value of future minimum lease payments, offset by an estimate for future sublease income provided by external brokers. Present value is calculated using a risk-free Treasury rate with a maturity equivalent to the lease term. Valuation of Accounts Payable.The companys accounts payable has been reduced by amounts claimed to vendors for returns, price protection and other amounts related to incentive programs. Amounts related to price protection and other incentive programs are recorded as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses, depending on the nature of the program. There is a time delay between the submission of a claim by the company and confirmation of agreement by our vendors. Historically, the companys estimated claims have approximated amounts agreed to by vendors. Supplier Programs.The company receives funds from suppliers for price protection, product sales incentives and marketing and training programs, which are generally recorded, net of direct costs, as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses according to the nature of the program. The product sales incentives are generally based on a particular quarters sales activity and are primarily formula-based. Some of these programs may extend over one or more quarterly reporting periods. The company accrues supplier sales incentives and other supplier incentives as earned based on sales of qualifying products or as services are provided in accordance with the terms of the related program. Actual supplier sales incentives may vary based on volume or other sales achievement levels, which could result in an increase or reduction in the estimated amounts previously accrued, and can, at times, result in significant earnings fluctuations on a quarterly basis.Recently Issued Accounting StandardIn December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment, which is a revision of Statement 123. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and amends Statement 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 operating results based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) will be effective for the company at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or the beginning of the companys fiscal 2007. 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, or (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 disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The company has not yet determined which of the two methods it will use to adopt the provisions of Statement 123(R). As permitted by Statement 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
18employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have an impact on the companys operating results. 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 would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as 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. While the company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions have not been significant.Cancellation of Subscribed-for SharesIn July 1996, the company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement and Trust (the Trust) with Wachovia Bank of North Carolina. The Trust had subscribed for 5,000,000 common shares of the company which were to be paid for over the 15 year term of the Trust. Proceeds from the sale of the common shares were to be used to fund company obligations under various employee benefit plans, to pay cash bonuses and other similar employee related company obligations. The companys Board of Directors and its various Committees carefully reconsidered the role of the Trust in connection with the company and its compensation and benefit programs and concluded that the Trust no longer served its intended purpose for the company and its shareholders. As a result, the Trust was terminated in December 2004. Upon termination, the remaining 3.6 million common shares subject to the Trust were dissolved with the related common shares cancelled and retired. This activity reduced the stated value of common shares by $1.1 million, capital in excess of stated value by $41.6 million and unearned employee benefits by $42.7 million; thus having no net impact on shareholders equity.Business CombinationsKyrus Corporation (Kyrus).Kyrus was acquired on September 30, 2003. Kyrus was an IBM Master Distributor and Premier Business Partner in retail sales solutions. The acquisition expands the companys operations to include a wide range of services and solutions, including hardware and software products and extensive professional services to customers in the retail industry. The purchase price was $29.6 million, offset by approximately $0.9 million of cash acquired. In 2005, sales generated from the acquisition were $116.8 million, or 7.2% of consolidated sales. In 2004, the partial-year sales generated from the acquisition were $66.1 million, or 4.7% of consolidated sales. Inter-American Data, Inc. (IAD).IAD was acquired on February 17, 2004. IAD was a leading developer and provider of software and services to hotel casinos and major resorts in the United States. The acquisition provides significant opportunities for growth in the hospitality industry. The purchase price was $38.0 million. In 2005, sales generated from the acquisition were $32.8 million, or 2.0% of consolidated sales. In 2004, the partial-year sales generated from the acquisition were $3.7 million, or less than 1% of consolidated sales. The CTS Corporations (CTS).On May 31, 2005, the company acquired CTS, a leading, independent services organization, specializing in information technology storage solutions for large and medium-sized corporate customers, and public-sector clients. The acquisition of CTS initiates a relationship with EMC Corporation and will position the company as a leading provider of storage services. CTS works closely with corporate and public sector end-users to help optimize the value and performance of their IT storage systems, implementing storage solutions around major storage providers. The purchase price was $27.5 million, which included $2.6 million in assumed debt, and was funded by cash. In addition, the company will pay an earn-out to CTS shareholders based on the acquired business achieving specific financial performance targets. CTS has annual revenues of approximately $35.0 million and, based on the timing of the close of the transaction, contribution to 2006 revenues is expected to be approximately $30.0 million.
Cancellation of Subscribed-for Shares
Business Combinations
19Discontinued OperationsDuring 2003, the company announced its strategic transformation to focus solely on its enterprise computer systems business. The transformation included the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the companys Industrial Electronics Division (IED), which distributed semiconductors, interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, power supplies and embedded computer products in North America and Germany. Cash proceeds from the sale were approximately $240 million. The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts receivable and inventories and the companys shares of common stock in World Peace Industrial Co., Ltd., an Asian distributor of electronic components. The buyer also assumed certain liabilities. In connection with the sale of IED, the company discontinued the operations of Aprisa, Inc. (Aprisa), which was an internet-based start up corporation that created customized software for the electronic components market. The disposition of IED and discontinuance of Aprisa represented a disposal of a component of an entity. The company continues to incur certain costs related to IED and Aprisa, which are reported as loss from discontinued operations.Restructuring ChargesDiscontinued operations.In connection with the sale of IED in 2003, the company recognized a restructuring charge of $28.7 million. Of the total charge, $5.9 million related to severance and other employee benefit costs to be paid to approximately 525 employees previously employed by IED and not hired by the acquiring company; $5.0 million related to facilities costs for approximately 30 vacated locations no longer required as a result of the sale that were determined as the present value of qualifying exit costs offset by an estimate for future sublease income; and $17.4 million related to the write down of assets to fair value that were abandoned or classified as held for sale, as a result of the disposition and discontinuance of IED and Aprisa, respectively. During 2005, the restructuring reserve was primarily reduced by ongoing payment of facilities obligations and minor adjustments to remaining facility obligations. As of March 31, 2005, $1.6 million of the restructuring charge remained, all of which relates to facilities obligations. Approximately $0.4 million is expected to be paid during 2006 for facilities obligations, representing accretion expense and the absence of sub-lease income that was assumed when the restructuring charge was initially recorded. Facilities obligations are anticipated to continue until 2010. Continuing operations.In the fourth quarter of 2003, concurrent with the sale of IED, the company announced the restructuring of its remaining enterprise computer solutions business and facilities to reduce overhead and eliminate assets that were inconsistent with the companys strategic plan and were no longer required. In connection with this reorganization, the company recorded restructuring charges totaling $20.7 million for the impairment of facilities and other assets no longer required as well as severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs for personnel whose employment was involuntarily terminated. During 2005, the restructuring reserve was reduced mainly by ongoing payment of facility obligations. As of March 31, 2005, $5.5 million of the restructuring charge remained, all of which relates to facilities obligations. Approximately $0.6 million is expected to be paid during 2006 for facilities obligations, which represents accretion expense and the absence of sub-lease income that was assumed when the restructuring charge was initially recorded. Facilities obligations are anticipated to continue until 2017.GoodwillOn April 1, 2002, the company adopted FASB Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition. Goodwill and other intangibles that have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. All other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Effective April 1, 2002, the company discontinued amortization of its goodwill in accordance with Statement 142. Under the required transitional provisions of Statement 142, the company identified and evaluated its reporting units for impairment as of April 1, 2002, the first day of the companys fiscal year 2003, using a two-step process. The first step involved identifying the reporting units with carrying values, including goodwill, in excess of fair value. The fair value of goodwill was estimated using a combination of a discounted cash flow valuation model, incorporating a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved for each reporting unit, and a market approach of guideline companies in similar transactions. As a result of completing the first step

Goodwill
20of the process, it was determined that there was an impairment of goodwill at the date of adoption. This was due primarily to market conditions and relatively low levels of sales. In the second step of the process, the implied fair value of the affected reporting units goodwill was compared with its carrying value in order to determine the amount of impairment, that is, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the fair value. As a result of the transitional impairment test, the company recorded an impairment charge of $36.7 million, before tax, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2003 and is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2003. The goodwill impairment was comprised of $25.7 million for the Industrial Electronics Division and $11.0 million for the operations of Aprisa which were sold and discontinued, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2003. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for 2003, the charge resulting from the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle did not impact cash flow. The company performed its latest annual impairment test as of February 1, 2005. The company concluded that the fair value of its two reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill. As such, step two of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary and no impairment loss was recognized. As of March 31, 2005, the company was not aware of any circumstances or events requiring an interim impairment of goodwill.InvestmentsDuring 2004, the company sold its investment in Eurodis Electron PLC (Eurodis), a publicly traded European enterprise computer systems distributor. The realized gain was determined on the basis of specific identification of securities sold since the company liquidated its entire securities holding. Sales proceeds and realized gain on the sale were $3.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Management continually monitored the change in the value of its investment to determine whether declines in market value below cost were other-than-temporary. The company made such a determination based upon criteria that included the extent to which cost exceeded market value, the duration of the market decline, and the financial condition of and specific prospects of the issuer. In addition, the company evaluated its intent to retain the investment over a period of time which would be sufficient to allow for any recovery in market value. In 2003, as a result of the companys sale of IED and subsequent change in business focus, the companys intent concerning its investment changed. The investment no longer held strategic value and it was not the companys intent to retain the investment for a long period of time. Therefore, the decline in market value was deemed to be other than temporary, and in 2003 the company recognized a $14.6 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value (cost basis) to market value.Risk Control and Effects of Foreign Currency and InflationThe company extends credit based on customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements when collections are in doubt. The company sells internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency on operating results did not have a material impact on the companys results of operations for the 2005, 2004 or 2003 fiscal years. The company believes that inflation has had a nominal effect on its results of operations in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 and does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in fiscal 2006.Risks Relating to the CompanyThe company is highly dependent on its key suppliers and supplier programs.The company depends on a small number of key suppliers. During fiscal 2005, products purchased from IBM and HP, the companys two largest suppliers, accounted for 72% and 16%, respectively, of the companys sales volume. The loss of either of these suppliers or a combination of certain other suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, results of operations and financial condition. From time to time, a supplier may terminate the companys right to sell some or all of a suppliers products or change the terms and conditions of the supplier relationship or reduce or discontinue the incentives or programs

21offered. Any such termination or implementation of such changes could have a material negative impact on the companys results of operations.Risks associated with the indirect distribution of the companys products and services may materially adversely affect the companys financial results.In addition to direct sales, the company markets and sells products and services indirectly through systems integrators, resellers and original equipment manufacturers. The company derives a significant percentage of its revenues from sales through these reseller partners. The companys financial results could be materially adversely affected if the companys agreements with its reseller partners were terminated, if the companys relationships with its reseller partners were to deteriorate or if the financial condition of its reseller partners were to weaken. In addition, as the companys market opportunities change, the company may have an increased reliance on its reseller partners, which may negatively impact the companys gross margins. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in maintaining or expanding the sales revenue generated by the indirect distribution of its products and services. If the company is not successful, the company may lose sales opportunities, customers and market share. In addition, there can be no assurance that the companys reseller partners will not develop, market or sell products or services in competition with the company in the future.The market for the companys products and services is affected by rapidly changing technology and inventory obsolescence and if the company fails to anticipate and adapt to such changes and protect against inventory obsolescence, the companys results of operations may suffer.The markets in which the company competes are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changing needs of customers. The companys future success will depend on its ability to adapt to changes in technology and industry standards. In addition, because the company maintains certain levels of inventory in order to ensure that the lead times to customers remain competitive, the company is subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence. If the company fails to successfully manage the challenges of rapidly changing technology and inventory obsolescence risks, the companys results of operations may suffer.Market factors could cause a decline in spending for information technology, adversely affecting our financial results.Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services. Delays or reductions in information technology by end users could materially adversely affect the demand for our products and services. If the markets for our products and services soften or continue to soften, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.The companys business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with acquisitions and investments.As part of the companys business strategy, the company seeks acquisition prospects that could accelerate the growth of its business by expanding its customer base, extending its reach into new markets and/or broadening the range of solutions it offers. However, acquisitions always present risks and uncertainties. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, results of operations or financial condition.Management has identified material weaknesses in the companys disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remedied effectively, could result in a material misstatement of the companys reported results.As discussed elsewhere in this report, management has concluded that the companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting had material weaknesses as of March 31, 2005. The company has taken certain actions to begin to address these material weaknesses. The companys inability to remediate these material weaknesses promptly and effectively could have a material impact on the reported results of operations and financial condition, as well as impair its ability to meet its quarterly and annual reporting requirements in a timely manner. These effects could in turn adversely affect the trading

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The companys management, with the participation of the companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
23decisions regarding required disclosure. The companys disclosure controls and procedures include components of the companys internal control over financial reporting.Based upon, and as of the date of, this evaluation, the companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective solely because of the material weaknesses relating to the companys internal control over financial reporting as described in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting contained elsewhere in this report. In light of these material weaknesses, the Company performed additional analysis and post-closing procedures to ensure the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this report present fairly in all material respects the companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.(b) Internal control over financial reporting. See, Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting contained elsewhere in this report.(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the companys internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the companys internal control over financial reporting. However, during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the company began implementing the remedial measures described in, Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.Item 9B.

The consolidated financial statements of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared by the company, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that are based on informed judgments and estimates. The company also prepared the other information in the annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
29Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of Agilysys Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that the company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as a result of the two material weaknesses discussed below. Vendor Debits Process Inadequate controls over the preparation and review of the reconciliation of the subsidiary ledger to the general ledger for vendor debits combined with inadequate controls over determining the appropriate reserve for collectibility of vendor debits resulted in a material weakness in internal control over the vendor debits process. These control deficiencies resulted in adjustments impacting the vendor debit and vendor debit reserve accounts. Vendor debits are transactional discounts on purchases from major suppliers. The vendor debit process is manually intensive, involves thousands of individual transactions and the vendor debit subsidiary ledger does not interface with the general ledger. Management has performed a review of its internal control processes and procedures surrounding the Vendor Debits Process. As a result of this review, management is in the process of remediating the deficiencies described above. Additional review and approval of the vendor debit reconciliation and reserve analysis has been added. Furthermore, management is evaluating all systems and procedures relative to the vendor debit process with the objective of implementing automated and preventive controls and other process improvements. Financial Statement Close Process Inadequate controls over the Financial Statement Close Process resulted in several control deficiencies that, when aggregated, constitute a material weakness in internal control over the Financial Statement Close Process. The control deficiencies resulted from inadequate controls over the reconciliation of vendor rebates, recognition of equity income related to an unconsolidated entity, recognition of revenue, accrual of liabilities for employee incentives, valuation of service parts inventory within the retail hardware services business, amounts due to vendors within the retail hardware services business, accrual of liabilities for the long-term incentive compensation plan and accrual of the obligation for the supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). These control deficiencies resulted in adjustments impacting the related accounts. Management has performed a review of the companys internal control processes and procedures surrounding the Financial Statement Close Process. As a result of this review, the company will be taking the following steps to remediate the deficiencies: 1. To address inadequate controls over the reconciliation of vendor rebates, recognition of equity income related to an unconsolidated entity, recognition of revenue, and accrual of liabilities for employee incentives, a more comprehensive reconciliation and review process will be implemented to ensure the related controls, as designed, are operating effectively and the related financial statement accounts are accurately stated. 2. To address inadequate controls over the valuation of service parts inventory and amounts due to vendors within the retail hardware services business, management has conducted a comprehensive review of the companys hardware services businesss accounting processes and systems and is currently designing and implementing systems and procedures with the objective of implementing automated and preventive controls to mitigate the risk of control deficiencies. 3. To address the inadequate controls over the accrual of liabilities for the long-term incentive compensation plan, management will review on a monthly basis actual operating performance versus plan requirements and record an additional accrual as required. For the accrual of the obligation for the SERP, management will provide to the Finance department written communication of any changes to the SERP. Such communications will be reviewed and assessed for the appropriate accounting and reporting requirements. The company will maintain evidence as to

32Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" -->
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included elsewhere herein, that Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, because of the material weaknesses identified in managements assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
33 inadequate controls over the reconciliation of vendor rebates, recognition of equity income related to an unconsolidated entity, valuation of service parts inventory within the retail hardware services business, accrual of liabilities for employee incentives, amounts due to vendors within the retail hardware services business, accrual of liabilities for the long-term incentive compensation plan, accrual of the obligation for the supplemental executive retirement plan, and recognition of revenue. These control deficiencies resulted in adjustments impacting the related accounts. These material weaknesses were identified by management subsequent to March 31, 2005. The material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2005 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated June 23, 2005 on those financial statements. In our opinion, managements assessment that Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO control criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on the COSO control criteria. We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on managements statements referring to the remediation of the material weaknesses or the implementation of new controls./S/ ERNST & YOUNG LLPCleveland, OhioJune 23, 2005

1.
Operations.Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the company or Agilysys) distributes and resells a broad range of enterprise computer systems products, including servers, storage, software and services. These products are sold to resellers and commercial end-users. The company has operations in North America and strategic investments in the United States and Europe.
39customers. In such instances, the supplier is the primary obligor in the transaction and the company bears credit risk in the event of nonpayment by the customer. Since the company is acting as an agent or broker with respect to such sales transactions, the company reports revenue only in the amount of the commission (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale. Supplier programs.Agilysys participates in certain programs provided by various suppliers that enable it to earn volume incentives. These incentives are generally earned by achieving quarterly sales targets. The amounts earned under these programs are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales when earned. In addition, the company receives incentives from suppliers related to cooperative advertising allowances, price protection and other programs. These incentives generally relate to agreements with the suppliers and are recorded, when earned, as adjustments to gross margin or net advertising expense, as appropriate. All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed in the year incurred. Cooperative reimbursements from suppliers, which are earned and available, are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. Valuation of accounts payable.The companys accounts payable has been reduced by amounts claimed to vendors for returns, price protection and other amounts related to incentive programs. Amounts related to price protection and other incentive programs are recorded as adjustments to cost of goods sold or operating expenses, depending on the nature of the program. There is a time delay between the submission of a claim by the company and confirmation of the claim by our vendors. Historically, the companys estimated claims have approximated amounts agreed to by vendors. Income taxes.Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized, the company considers such factors as (a) expectations of future taxable income, (b) expectations of material changes in the present relationship between income reported for financial and tax purposes, and (c) tax-planning strategies. Foreign currency.The functional currency of the companys Canadian subsidiary is its local currency. For this foreign operation, the assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Statement of operations accounts are translated at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The gains or losses resulting from these translations are recorded as a separate component of shareholders equity. Foreign currency gains and losses from changes in exchange rates have not been material to the consolidated operating results. Cash and cash equivalents.The company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents with no established maturity date are fully redeemable on demand (without penalty) with settlement of principal and accrued interest on the following business day after instruction to redeem. Such investments are readily convertible to cash with no penalty. Fair value of financial instruments.Estimated fair value of the companys financial instruments are as follows:
40 The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the companys Senior Notes is estimated using rates currently available for securities with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of the Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities represents market value as determined in the over the counter market. Investments in affiliated companies.The company enters into certain investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives, and typically does not attempt to reduce or eliminate the inherent market risks on these investments. The company has investments in affiliates accounted for using the equity method and the cost method. For those investments accounted for under the equity method, the companys proportionate share of income or losses from affiliated companies is recorded in other (income) expense. Concentrations of credit risk.Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable is mitigated by the companys large number of customers and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The company extends credit based on customers financial condition and generally, collateral is not required. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the company also performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.The company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as other trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of the companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk the company performs frequent credit evaluations of its customers. Concentrations of supplier risk.The company sells products supplied by five primary suppliers. The companys largest supplier, IBM, supplied 72%, 72% and 63% of the companys sales volume in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales of products sourced by HP accounted for 16%, 16% and 20% of the companys sales volume in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The loss of either of the top two suppliers or a combination of certain other suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the companys business, results of operations and financial condition unless alternative products manufactured by others are available to the company. In addition, although the company believes that its relationships with suppliers are good, there can be no assurance that the companys suppliers will continue to supply products on terms acceptable to the company. Inventories.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method on a first-in, first-out basis. The companys inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to the lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions governing price protection, stock rotation (right of return status), and technological obsolescence, as well as turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventory were $4.7 million and $8.4 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Intangible assets.Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are primarily amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. Purchased intangible assets relating to customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated method, which reflects the period the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the company. The companys finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from three to eight years. The company has an indefinite-lived intangible asset relating to purchased trade names. The indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value. Goodwill.Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Effective April 1, 2002, the company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under Statement 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization; rather, is subject to periodic impairment testing at least annually. Statement 142 required that goodwill be tested for impairment upon adoption (the transition impairment test) and at least annually, thereafter. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair
41value. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the company performed valuations of its reporting units for transitional purposes and, based on these valuations, concluded that goodwill was impaired. Accordingly, the company recorded an impairment charge of $36.7 million, before taxes, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in 2003. The company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of February 1, 2005 and 2004 and, based on the analyses, concluded that goodwill was not impaired. Goodwill will also be tested as necessary if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. Prior to adoption of Statement 142 in 2003, the company regularly evaluated its goodwill for impairment, considering such factors as historical and future profitability. Long-lived assets.Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, as are interest costs on capital projects. Minor replacements, maintenance, repairs and reengineering costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capital leases, which make up a negligible portion of total assets, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for depreciation and amortization are as follows: buildings and building improvements 7 to 30 years; furniture 7 to 10 years; equipment 3 to 10 years; software 3 to 10 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the economic life or the lease term. Internal use software costs are expensed or capitalized depending on the project stage. Amounts capitalized are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years, beginning with the projects completion. Total depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $7.0 million, $7.8 million and $14.8 million during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. Stock-based compensation.The company applies the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for employee stock compensation costs, which is referred to as the intrinsic value method. Since the exercise price of the companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost is recognized for the companys stock option plans. The company has adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FASB Statement 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. The following table shows the effects on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share had compensation cost been measured on the fair value method pursuant to Statement 123. The pro forma expense determined under the fair value method presented in the table below relates only to stock options that were granted as of March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. Accordingly, the impact of applying the fair value method is not indicative of future amounts.
42Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and adjusting income available to common shareholders for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, as necessary. The dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding is computed by sequencing each series of issues of potential common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined as the lowest earnings (loss) per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares. Comprehensive income (loss).Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus the aggregate change in shareholders equity, excluding changes in ownership interests, referred to as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At March 31, 2005 and 2004, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in shareholders equity consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments of $84,000 and $(1.4) million, respectively. Segment reporting.Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Operating segments can be aggregated for segment reporting purposes so long as certain aggregation criteria are met. The company has concluded that its two operating segments meet the necessary aggregation criteria for reporting one consolidated business segment. See note 13 for a discussion of the companys segment reporting. Related party transactions.The Secretary of the company is also a partner of the law firm Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP (Calfee), which provides legal services to the company. Legal costs paid to Calfee by the company are not material to operating results. Recent Accounting Standards.In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146, Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities. Statement 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Statement 146 requires that liabilities for one-time termination benefits that will be incurred over future service periods should be measured at the fair value as of the termination date and recognized over the future service period. This statement also requires that liabilities associated with disposal activities should be recorded when incurred. These liabilities should be adjusted for subsequent changes resulting from revisions to either the timing or amount of estimated cash flows, discounted at the original credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Interest on the liability would be accreted and charged to expense as an operating item. The company adopted this Statement effective January 1, 2003 and used the guidelines as a basis for reporting exit and disposal activities related to the companys discontinued operations and restructuring. See further discussion of the impact on the companys financial position and results of operations in note 4. In April 2003, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 01-03, Accounting in a Purchase Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree. EITF 01-03 provides guidance regarding the recognition of deferred revenue as a liability with respect to business combinations. The Task Force concluded that an acquiring entity should recognize a liability related to a revenue arrangement of an acquired entity only if it has assumed a legal obligation to provide goods, services, or other consideration to a customer. The amount assigned to the liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The company adopted the guidance set forth in EITF 01-03 to record deferred revenues purchased in connection with the acquisitions of Inter-American Data, Inc. and Kyrus Corporation in 2004, which resulted in liabilities of $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that a company classify certain financial instruments, such as instruments in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of the instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The company evaluated the requirements of this Statement and concluded that the Statement does not apply to the companys 6.75% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities since they are convertible into the companys common shares. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment,which is a revision of Statement 123. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and amends Statement 95, Statement of Cash Flows.Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described
43in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in operating results based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) will be effective for the company at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or the beginning of the companys fiscal 2007. 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, or (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 disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The company has not yet determined which of the two methods it will use to adopt the provisions of Statement 123(R). As permitted by Statement 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)s fair value method will have an impact on the companys operating results. 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 would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in note 1. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as 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. While the company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions have not been significant. Reclassifications.Certain amounts in the prior periods Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.2.RECENT ACQUISITIONSIn accordance with FASB Statement 141,Business Combinations, the company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In 2004, the company acquired two businesses, Kyrus Corporation (Kyrus) and Inter-American Data, Inc. (IAD).Kyrus CorporationKyrus was acquired on September 30, 2003. The results of Kyrus operations have been included in the companys consolidated financial statements since that date. Kyrus was an IBM Master Distributor and Premier Business Partner in retail sales solutions. The acquisition expands the companys operations to include a wide range of services and solutions, including hardware and software products and extensive professional services to customers in the retail industry. The purchase price was $29.6 million, offset by approximately $0.9 million of cash acquired. Approximately $26.6 million of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill in 2004 based on the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired. During 2005, the company finalized its purchase price allocation and made several adjustments to the fair value assigned to the net assets acquired. The company recorded an additional $26,700 of costs that were directly associated with the Kyrus acquisition, resulting in an increase to goodwill. The company also received $50,000 upon settlement of monies in escrow, resulting in a decrease to goodwill. In addition, the company lowered the estimated fair value of certain liabilities assumed by approximately $0.2 million, resulting in a decrease to goodwill. Finally, the company recorded a liability of $1.4 million relating to tax

44uncertainties existing at the date of acquisition, which increased goodwill. The company may have to record additional amounts for similar tax uncertainties in the future; however such amounts cannot be estimated at this time. Any additional amounts recorded by the company for tax uncertainties that existed at the date of acquisition will result in a change to goodwill. In addition to the above, the company recorded approximately $1.9 million of intangible assets acquired, resulting in a decrease to goodwill. Of the intangible assets acquired, $1.7 million was assigned to customer relationships, which is being amortized over five years using an accelerated method; $210,000 was assigned to non-competition agreements, which is being amortized over six years using the straight-line method; and $30,000 was assigned to developed technology, which is being amortized over eight years using the straight-line method. It is not anticipated that such assets will have significant residual values. At March 31, 2005, $25.8 million of the purchase price had been assigned to goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.Inter-American Data, Inc.IAD was acquired on February 17, 2004. The results of IADs operations have been included in the companys consolidated financial statements since that date. IAD was a leading developer and provider of software and services to hotel casinos and major resorts in the United States. The acquisition provides significant opportunities for growth in the hospitality industry. The purchase price was $38.0 million, with approximately $35.7 million assigned to goodwill in 2004 based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During 2005, the company finalized its purchase price allocation and made several adjustments to the fair value assigned to the net assets acquired. The company recorded an additional liability of $0.2 million assumed in the acquisition, with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The liability related to one-time involuntary termination costs for employees of IAD whose job functions were terminated during the integration of IAD. Termination benefits are expected to continue through the current fiscal year. The company also lowered the estimated fair value of certain assets acquired by $1.0 million, resulting in an increase to goodwill. During 2005, the company also recorded $6.7 million of intangible assets acquired, resulting in a decrease to goodwill. Of the intangible assets acquired, $3.6 million was assigned to customer relationships, which is being amortized over five years using an accelerated method; $1.4 million was assigned to developed technology, which is being amortized over six years using the straight-line method; $690,000 was assigned to non-competition agreements, which are being amortized over seven to eight years using the straight-line method; $80,000 was assigned to patented technology, which is being amortized over three years using the straight-line method; and $900,000 was assigned to trade names, which have been assigned indefinite useful lives and will be tested for impairment at least annually. It is not anticipated that such assets will have significant residual values. At March 31, 2005, $30.2 million of the purchase price had been assigned to goodwill. Goodwill relating to the purchase of IAD is deductible for income tax purposes.3.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSDuring 2003, the company announced its strategic transformation to focus solely on its enterprise computer systems business. The transformation included the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the companys Industrial Electronics Division (IED), which distributed semiconductors, interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, power supplies and embedded computer products in North America. In connection with the sale of IED, the company discontinued the operations of Aprisa, Inc. (Aprisa), which was an internet-based start up corporation that created customized software for the electronic components market. The disposition of IED and discontinuance of Aprisa represented a disposal of a component of an entity as defined by FASB Statement 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The company continues to incur certain costs related to IED and Aprisa, which are reported as loss from discontinued operations.

During 2003, the company announced its strategic transformation to focus solely on its enterprise computer systems business. The transformation included the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the companys Industrial Electronics Division (IED), which distributed semiconductors, interconnect, passive and electromechanical components, power supplies and embedded computer products in North America. In connection with the sale of IED, the company discontinued the operations of Aprisa, Inc. (Aprisa), which was an internet-based start up corporation that created customized software for the electronic components market. The disposition of IED and discontinuance of Aprisa represented a disposal of a component of an entity as defined by FASB Statement 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The company continues to incur certain costs related to IED and Aprisa, which are reported as loss from discontinued operations.
45 For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the company realized a loss from discontinued operations of $0.9 million (net of $0.5 million in taxes) and $2.9 million (net of $2.7 million in taxes), respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2003, the company realized income from discontinued operations of $18.8 million (net of $9.3 million in taxes). The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2005 included the sale of a vacant distribution facility and adjacent vacant land. Proceeds from the sale of the distribution facility and land were approximately $3.3 million, resulting in a loss on sale of $0.3 million. At March 31, 2005, the assets of discontinued operations were $0.7 million and related to accounts receivable and deferred taxes. The liabilities of discontinued operations were $1.8 million and related to restructuring liabilities for ongoing lease commitments and deferred taxes.4.RESTRUCTURING CHARGESContinuing OperationsIn the fourth quarter of 2003, concurrent with the sale of IED, the company announced the restructuring of its remaining enterprise computer solutions business and facilities to reduce overhead and eliminate assets that were inconsistent with the companys strategic plan and were no longer required. In connection with this reorganization, the company recorded restructuring charges totaling $20.7 million for the impairment of facilities and other assets no longer required as well as severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs for personnel whose employment was involuntarily terminated. The charges were classified as restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations. During 2004, additional restructuring costs of $2.5 million were incurred as a result of facility closures, the change in the companys name, and other costs associated with the 2003 reorganization. Severance, incentives, and other employee benefit costs were to be paid to approximately 110 personnel. Facilities costs represent the present value of qualifying exit costs, offset by an estimate for future sublease income for a vacant warehouse that represents excess capacity as a result of the sale of IED. Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liability:

47combination of a discounted cash flow valuation model, incorporating a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved for each reporting unit, and a market approach of guideline companies in similar transactions. As a result of completing the first step of the process, it was determined that there was an impairment of goodwill at the date of adoption. This was due primarily to market conditions and relatively low levels of sales. In the second step of the process, the implied fair value of the affected reporting units goodwill was compared with its carrying value in order to determine the amount of impairment, that is, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the fair value. As a result, the company recorded an impairment charge of $36.7 million, before tax, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2003. The goodwill impairment was comprised of $25.7 million for IED and $11.0 million for the operations of Aprisa. Both of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations.Intangible AssetsThe following table summarizes the companys intangible assets at March 31, 2005:
Intangible Assets
There were no intangible assets at March 31, 2004. Amortization expense relating to intangible assets for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $2.9 million and zero, respectively. The estimated amortization expense relating to intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows: 2006 - $2.0 million, 2007 - $1.2 million, 2008 - $0.7 million, 2009 - $0.5 million, and 2010 - $0.3 million.

The fair value of the companys cost method investment is not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.Sale of InvestmentDuring 2004, the company sold its investment in Eurodis Electron PLC (Eurodis), a publicly traded European enterprise computer systems distributor. The realized gain was determined on the basis of specific identification of securities sold since the company liquidated its entire securities holding. Sales proceeds and realized gain on the sale were $3.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Management continually monitored the change in the value of its investment to determine whether declines in market value below cost were other-than-temporary. The company made such a determination based upon criteria that included the extent to which cost exceeded market value, the duration of the market decline, and the financial condition of and specific prospects of the issuer. In addition, the company evaluated its intent to retain the investment over a period of time which would be sufficient to allow for any recovery in market value. When it was concluded that the market value decline was temporary, the changes in market value were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholders equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. In 2003, as a result of the companys sale of IED and subsequent change in business focus, the companys intent concerning its investment changed. The investment no longer held strategic value and it was not the companys intent to retain the investment for a long period of time. Therefore, the decline in market value was deemed to be other than temporary, and in 2003 the company recognized a $14.6 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value (cost basis) to market value. This non-cash charge was included as investment impairment in other (income) expense in the consolidated statement of operations in 2003.7.LEASE COMMITMENTSCapital LeasesThe company is the lessee of certain equipment under capital leases expiring in various years through 2008. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are depreciated over the lower of their related lease terms or their estimated productive lives. Depreciation of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Minimum future lease payments under capital leases as of March 31, 2005 for each of the next five years and in the aggregate are:

The Pioneer-Standard Trust, a statutory business trust, is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the company, with its sole asset being $148.2 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Agilysys, Inc. due March 31, 2028 (the Trust Debentures). The company has executed a guarantee with regard to the Trust Preferred Securities. The guarantee, when taken together with the companys obligations under the Trust Debentures, the indenture pursuant to which the Trust Debentures were issued and the applicable trust document, provide a full and unconditional guarantee of the Pioneer-Standard Trusts obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities are non-voting (except in limited circumstances), pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 6.75%, carry a liquidation value of $50 per share and are convertible at the option of the holder into the companys Common Shares at any time prior to the close of business on March 31, 2028. After March 31, 2003, the Trust Preferred Securities were redeemable, at the option of the company, for a redemption price of 103.375% of par reduced annually by 0.675% to a minimum of $50 per Trust Preferred Security. As of March 31, 2005, the Trust Preferred Securities were redeemable at the option of the company for a redemption price of 102.025%. The redemption price will be reduced to 100% of par by March 31, 2008. In 2005, 2,152 Trust Preferred Securities were converted into 6,831 shares of the companys common stock. The conversion reduced the carrying value of the Trust Preferred Securities to $125.3 million. As of March 31, 2005, a total of 368,652 Trust Preferred Securities had been redeemed or converted by the company. See Note 18 for a discussion of the companys redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities subsequent to year-end. In 2004, the company repurchased 365,000 Trust Preferred Securities, approximating $18.3 million face value, for a cash purchase price of approximately $17.0 million. The difference between the face value and cash paid, partially offset by the expensing of related deferred financing fees, resulted in a net gain of $0.7 million, which is included in the other (income) expense in 2004. As of March 31, 2004, a total of 366,500 Trust Preferred Securities had been redeemed. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair market value of the Trust Preferred Securities was $150.4 million and $123.5 million, respectively.

53amounts that would have been contributed to the companys 401(k) plan if it were not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations. Contribution expense for the benefit equalization plan was $0.1 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003. The company also provides a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for certain officers of the company. The SERP is a non-qualified plan designed to provide retirement benefits and life insurance for the plan participants. The projected benefit obligation related to the SERP was $11.9 million at March 31, 2005, of which $8.8 million has been accrued in accordance with FASB Statement 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions. The company also recognized an intangible asset of $2.9 million in 2005 in accordance with Statement 87. The projected benefit obligation related to the SERP was $8.8 million at March 31, 2004, of which $2.4 million had been accrued at March 31, 2004. The annual expense for the SERP was $3.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. In conjunction with the benefit equalization plan and SERP, the company has invested in life insurance policies related to certain employees to satisfy future obligations of the plans. The cash surrender value of the policies was $6.3 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.12.CONTINGENCIESThe company is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. The company provides for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the companys future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the company.13.BUSINESS SEGMENTSThe company is a leading distributor and premier reseller of enterprise computer technology solutions. The company is principally engaged in the distribution and reselling of three specific product areas: server and storage hardware, software, and services. These technology solutions are offered to two primary customer groups, value-added resellers, which often are privately held with annual sales ranging from approximately $10 million to $400 million, and end-user customers, which range from medium to large corporations as well as the public sector. The companys chief operating decision maker (i.e., chief executive officer) reviews financial information presented at varying levels of detail for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The chief operating decision makers primary review, however, focuses on the companys two primary customer groups. In accordance with FASB Statement 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the company has two operating segments separated between the customer group focus. Given the similar economic characteristics between the two operating segments and the other aggregation criteria established by Statement 131, the companys two operating segments have been combined into one reportable business segment. Reporting segment information as a consolidated entity is consistent with the companys focus on providing enterprise computer technology solutions to its customers.

The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and the effect on income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by sequencing each series of potential issuance of common shares from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined as the lowest earnings or highest (loss) per incremental share in the sequence of potential common shares.

The company has a stock incentive plan. Under the plan, the company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, and performance shares for up to 3.2 million shares of common stock. For stock option awards, the exercise price is equal to the market price of the companys stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of the options is 10 years, and they vest ratably
56over 3 years. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with a stock option granted under the plan. Stock appreciation rights are exercisable only to the extent that the stock option to which it relates is exercisable and terminate upon the termination or exercise of the related stock option. Restricted shares and restricted share units may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price which may be below their fair market value but which are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance share awards may be granted, where the right to receive shares in the future is conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objects and such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies. The exercise price of performance share awards would be equal to the market price of the companys stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2005, there were no stock appreciation rights, restricted share units, or performance shares awarded from the plan.Stock OptionsThe following table summarizes stock option activity during 2005, 2004, and 2003 for stock options awarded by the company under the stock incentive plan and prior plans.

59 The company experiences a seasonal increase in sales during its fiscal third quarter ending in December. Third quarter sales were 33% of annual revenues for 2004. The company believes that this sales pattern is industry-wide. Although the company is unable to predict whether this uneven sales pattern will continue over the long term, the company anticipates that this trend will remain the same in the foreseeable future. Included in the results of the fourth quarter of 2004 is a $5.0 million ($3.2 million after taxes) favorable litigation settlement and a $7.9 million ($5.1 million after taxes) loss on retirement of debt relating to the repurchase of Senior Notes and Securities.18.SUBSEQUENT EVENTSAcquisition of The CTS CorporationsOn May 31, 2005, the company acquired The CTS Corporations (CTS), a leading, independent services organization, specializing in information technology storage solutions for large and medium-sized corporate customers and public-sector clients. CTS has annual revenues of approximately $35 million and, based on the timing of the close of the transaction, is expected to contribute approximately $30 million to the companys 2006 revenues. The purchase price of $27.5 million, which included $2.6 million in assumed debt, was funded by cash. In addition, the company will pay an earn-out to CTS shareholders based on the acquired business achieving specific financial performance targets. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill.Redemption of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred SecuritiesOn June 15, 2005, the company completed the redemption of its 6.75% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the Securities). The carrying value of the Securities as of March 31, 2005 was $125.3 million. Securities with a carrying value of $105.4 million were redeemed for cash at a total cost of $109.0 million. The company funded the redemption with existing cash. In addition, 398,324 Securities with a carrying value of $19.9 million were converted into common shares of the company. The Securities were converted at the conversion rate of 3.1746 common shares for each share of the Securities converted resulting in the issuance of 1,264,505 common shares of the company. As a result of the redemption, the company will write-off deferred financing fees of $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
