AMDOCS LIMITED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)

xbrl,n

1. Basis of Presentation

xbrl,body

Amdocs Limited (“Amdocs” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of software and services for communications, media and entertainment industry service providers. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in one segment, providing integrated products and services primarily to leading wireless, wireline, cable and satellite service providers throughout the world. The Company designs, develops, markets, supports, implements and operates customer experience systems, including revenue management, customer management, service and resource management (OSS), personalized portal and value-added services and portfolio management, as well as consulting and managed services for its customers. Amdocs also offers a full range of directory sales and publishing systems.

The Company is a Guernsey company, which directly or indirectly holds numerous wholly-owned subsidiaries around the world. The majority of the Company’s customers are in North America, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. The Company’s main production and operating facilities are located in Canada, Cyprus, India, Ireland, Israel, and the United States.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been included herein and are of a normal recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements during interim periods requires management to make numerous estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effect of revisions is reflected in the results of operations of the interim periods in which changes are determined to be necessary.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on December 7, 2009 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Subsequent events were evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued.

Reclassification

Certain immaterial amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

xbrl,body

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. Based on its current operations, the Company believes that the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

xbrl,body

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons for the transfers, the reasons for any transfer in or out of Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy and a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of recurring assets and liabilities measured at Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. In addition to these new disclosure requirements the new guidance also clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for revenue recognition relating to arrangements containing both hardware and software elements. Under the new guidance, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of software revenue recognition guidance, and will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB updated its authoritative guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. The revised guidance eliminates the requirement that “objective and reliable” evidence of fair value exist for an undelivered item in order for a delivered item to be treated as a specific unit of accounting. In addition, the guidance modifies the methodology to allocate transaction consideration to each identified unit of accounting by allowing the use of estimated selling price, or ESP, for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value or third-party evidence of selling price is unavailable. This results in the elimination of the residual method of allocating revenue consideration. The Company elected to early adopt the pronouncements at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after October 1, 2009. If VSOE of fair value or third-party evidence of selling price is unavailable, the Company determines ESP for the purposes of allocating the consideration to individual elements of an arrangement by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, margin objectives, geographies in which the Company offers its services and internal costs. The determination of ESP is made through consultation with and approval by management. This guidance does not generally change the units of accounting in the Company’s revenue arrangements or the methodology by which transaction consideration is allocated to the various units of accounting due to the fact that, for the majority of the Company’s existing multiple deliverables arrangements, the Company allocated transaction consideration for purposes of revenue recognition to each identified unit of accounting based upon its relative fair value, determined using VSOE. The new accounting standards for revenue recognition if applied to the year ended September 30, 2009 would not have had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position for that fiscal year. In addition, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new earnings per share authoritative guidance that provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. As such, they should be included in the computation of basic earnings per share, or EPS, using the two-class method. Prior-period EPS data presented have been adjusted retroactively, and this adjustment had no impact on basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009.

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value measurements guidance for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance significantly changes the accounting for business combinations and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. Among the more significant changes, acquired in-process research and development will be capitalized and upon completion amortized over its useful life; acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred; restructuring costs will generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition date; contingent consideration will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date with subsequent changes recognized in earnings, and reductions in deferred tax valuation allowance relating to a business acquisition will be recognized in earnings. In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the revised business combination guidance regarding the accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. The impact of this accounting guidance on the Company’s results of operations or financial position will vary depending on each specific business

xbrl

combination. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.

Effective October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the guidance that changes the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirement to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations and changes in the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

4. Fair Value Measurement

xbrl,body

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

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

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or other inputs that are observable (model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable) or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following tables presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009:

Available for sale securities that are classified as Level 2 assets are priced using observable data that may include quoted market prices for similar instruments, market dealer quotes, market spreads, non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data and other observable market information and discounted cash flow techniques. The Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 as they represent foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts valued primarily based on observable inputs including forward rates and yield curves.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest-bearing investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and options. The fair value of the financial instruments included in the accounts of the Company does not significantly vary from their carrying amount.

As of March 31, 2010, the unrealized losses were primarily due to credit market conditions and interest rate movements. A significant portion of the unrealized losses has been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or greater. The Company assessed whether such unrealized losses for the investments in its portfolio were other-than-temporary. Based on this assessment, the Company recognized through earnings a credit loss of $211 and $491 in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, unrealized losses of $2,328 related to other-than-temporarily impaired securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

xbrl,body

The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.

The Company’s derivatives expose it to credit risks from possible non-performance by counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that the Company would incur if counterparties to the derivative financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts, based on the gross fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts that are favorable to the Company, was approximately $11,953 as of March 31, 2010. The Company has limited its credit risk by entering into derivative transactions exclusively with investment-grade rated financial institutions and monitors the creditworthiness of these financial institutions on an ongoing basis.

The Company classifies cash flows from its derivative transactions as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flow.

The table below presents the total volume or notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of March 31, 2010. Notional values are U.S. dollar translated and calculated based on forward rates as of March 31, 2010 for forward contracts, and based on spot rates as of March 31, 2010 for options.

	Notional Value*
Foreign exchange contracts	$ 721,685

(*) Gross notional amounts do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company, but are used in the calculation of settlements under the contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges

In order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its results, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts and options contracts to purchase and sell foreign currencies to hedge a significant portion of its foreign currency net exposure resulting from revenue and expense transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company designates these contracts for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges. The Company currently hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of two years (a significant portion of the forward contracts and options outstanding as of March 31, 2010 are expected to mature within the next 12 months).

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, and subsequently reclassified into earnings to the same line item as the related forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged exposure affects earnings. The cash flow hedges are evaluated for effectiveness at least quarterly. As the critical terms of the forward contract or options and the hedged transaction are matched at inception, the hedge effectiveness is assessed generally based on changes in the fair value for cash flow hedges as compared to the changes in the fair value of the cash flows associated with the underlying hedged transactions. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, and hedge components, such as time value, excluded from assessment of effectiveness testing for hedges of estimated receipts from customers, are recognized immediately in interest expense and other, net.

The effect of the Company’s cash flow hedging instruments in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which partially offset the foreign currency impact from the underlying exposures, is summarized as follows:

An aggregate gain of $2,848 and loss of $9,968, net of taxes, was reclassified from other comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. An aggregate gain of $4,134, net of taxes, was reclassified from other comprehensive income in the six months ended March 31, 2010. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a cash flow hedge, including the time value portion excluded from effectiveness testing for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was not material.

As of March 31, 2010, amounts related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $4,980 which will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months and will partially offset the foreign currency impact from the underlying exposures. The amount ultimately realized in earnings will likely differ due to future changes in foreign exchange rates. Losses from cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $4,469, or $3,822, net of taxes.

Cash flow hedges are required to be discontinued in the event it becomes probable that the underlying forecasted hedged transaction will not occur. The Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges during any of the periods presented nor does the Company anticipate any such discontinuance in the normal course of business.

The activity related to the changes in net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, net of tax, is as follows:

Net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, net of tax, as of October 1, 2009	$
Changes associated with hedging transactions, net of tax $(647)	(3,822	)
Reclassification into earnings, net of tax $(647)	(4,134	)
Net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges, net of tax, as of March 31, 2010	$ 4,980

Other Risk Management Derivatives

The Company also enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting and are used to reduce the impact of foreign currency on certain balance sheet exposures and certain revenue and expense.

These instruments are generally short-term in nature, with typical maturities of less than one year, and are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

The effect of the Company’s non-designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which partially offset the foreign currency impact from the underlying exposures, is summarized as follows:

The Company’s effective income tax rate varied from the statutory Guernsey tax rate as follows for the following periods:

March 31,		March 31,

Statutory Guernsey
tax rate	0 %	0 %	0 %	0 %
Foreign taxes	15	11	12	11
Effective income tax rate	15 %	11 %	12 %	11 %

As a Guernsey company subject to a corporate tax rate of zero percent, the Company’s overall effective tax rate is attributable to foreign taxes.

As of March 31, 2010, deferred tax assets of $84,789, derived primarily from net capital and operating loss carry forwards related to some of the Company’s subsidiaries, were offset by valuation allowances related to the uncertainty of realizing tax benefit for such losses. Releases of the valuation allowances will be recognized through earnings.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which includes interest and penalties, was $116,469 as of March 31, 2010, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if realized.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $15,686 in income taxes payable for interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is currently under audit in several jurisdictions for the tax years 2001 and onwards. Timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain and therefore the Company cannot estimate the change in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from these audits within the next 12 months.

(1) The basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new earnings per share authoritative guidance requiring the inclusion of unvested share-based payment awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents in the calculation of basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. This adjustment had no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009. See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

11. Financing Arrangements

xbrl,body

In November 2007, the Company entered into an unsecured $500,000 five-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and repurchases of the Company’s ordinary shares that the Company may consider from time to time. The interest rate for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is chosen at the Company’s option from several pre-defined alternatives, depends on the circumstances of any advance and is based on the Company’s credit ratings. As of March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with financial covenants under the revolving credit facility and had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

12. Stock Option and Incentive Plan

xbrl,body

In January 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options and other equity-based awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The purpose of the Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain qualified personnel and to motivate such persons by providing them with an equity participation in the Company. Since its adoption, the Plan has been amended on several occasions to, among other things, increase the number of ordinary shares issuable under the Plan. In 2008, the maximum number of ordinary shares authorized to be granted under the Plan was increased from 46,300 to 55,300. Awards granted under the Plan generally vest over a period of four years and stock options have a term of ten years.

The following table summarizes information about options to purchase the Company ‘ s ordinary shares, as well as changes during the six-month period ended March 31, 2010:

		Weighted	Average

Forfeited	(39	)	27.62
Outstanding unvested shares as of March 31, 2010	1,293	$	26.16

As of March 31, 2010, there was $56,808 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The Company recognizes compensation costs using the graded vesting attribution method which results in a weighted average period of approximately one year over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized.

Equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the statements of income based on their fair values.

Employee equity-based compensation pre-tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock-based compensation (including restricted shares) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $268 and $1,467, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,451 and $3,050, respectively.

The Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its equity-based awards and recognizes compensation costs using the graded vesting attribution method. The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions used are noted in the following table (all in weighted averages for options granted during the period):

	Three months — ended		Six months — ended

Expected dividend yield (4)	None	None	None	None
Fair value per option	$ 7.76	$ 6.57	$ 7.62	$ 7.58

| (1) | Risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury yield curve appropriate for the term of the Company ‘ s employee stock options. | | --- | --- | | (2) | Expected life of stock options is based upon historical experience. | | (3) | Expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatility of the Company’s traded options and historical stock price volatility (“blended volatility”). | | (4) | Expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and future expectation of dividend payouts. |

Equity-based compensation recognized is reduced for estimated forfeitures and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. Based upon the advice of counsel, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company generally sells its products with a limited warranty for a period of 90 days. The Company’s policy is to account for warranty costs, if needed, based on historical trends in product failure. Based on the Company’s experience, only minimal warranty charges have been required and, as a result, the Company did not accrue any amounts for product warranty liability during the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company generally indemnifies its customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of the Company’s software. To date, the Company has incurred and recorded in its consolidated financial statements only minimal costs as a result of such obligations.

14. Subsequent Events

xbrl,body

In April 2010, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan allowing the repurchase of up to $700,000 of its outstanding ordinary shares over the following 12 months. The authorization permits the Company to purchase its ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that it considers appropriate. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 (through May 12, 2010), the Company repurchased approximately 2,112 ordinary shares at an average price of $31.24 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees).

In April 2010, the Company divested an 81 percent majority stake in Longshine, its Chinese subsidiary previously purchased in 2005, to a newly formed and locally-managed entity, Longshine Technology Holding, Ltd. for approximately $26,730 in cash at closing. The Company believes the divestiture will enable it to better focus its efforts on service provider opportunities in China with the Company’s CES 8 portfolio. The Company retains a minority interest in Longshine. In connection with the divestiture, as of March 31, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $21,800 to reflect the fair value of this subsidiary less costs to sell. The charge has been reflected in interest expense and other, net in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.

Forward Looking Statements

This section contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws) that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “project”, “forecast”, “continue”, “potential”, “should”, “would”, “could”, and “may”, and other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcome. Statements that we make in this document that are not statements of historical fact also may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations that we describe in our forward-looking statements. There may be events in the future that we are not accurately able to predict, or over which we have no control. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We do not promise to notify you if we learn that our assumptions or projections are wrong for any reason. We disclaim any obligation to update our forward-looking statements, except where applicable law may otherwise require us to do so.

Important factors that may affect these projections or expectations include, but are not limited to: changes in the overall economy; changes in competition in markets in which we operate; changes in the demand for our products and services; consolidation within the industries in which our customers operate; the loss of a significant customer; changes in the telecommunications regulatory environment; changes in technology that impact both the markets we serve and the types of products and services we offer; financial difficulties of our customers; losses of key personnel; difficulties in completing or integrating acquisitions; litigation and regulatory proceedings; and acts of war or terrorism. For a discussion of these important factors and other risks, please read the information set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal 2009 that we filed on December 7, 2009 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview of Business and Trend Information

Amdocs is a leading provider of software and services for communications, media and entertainment industry service providers. Although our market focus has traditionally been primarily on Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers in developed markets, we have also focused in the last several years on Tier 3 and Tier 4 providers in developed markets, and on providers in emerging markets throughout the world.

We develop, implement and manage software and services associated with business support systems, or BSS, operational support systems, or OSS, and service delivery platforms that enable service providers to personalize customer interactions, process orders more efficiently, optimize network capacity, support new business models and manage the evolution of service providers’ networks. We refer to these systems collectively as customer experience systems because of the impact they have on the service providers’ end-user experience.

In March 2010, we expanded our capabilities in the mobile payments domain through the acquisition of MX Telecom, a leading mobile payments and messaging aggregator with operations in Europe, the United States, and Australia.

We believe the demand for our customer experience systems is driven by the need of service providers to anticipate and respond to consumer demands. In a global communications industry impacted by the move toward convergence of services and devices and increasing network capacity, consumers expect immediate and constant connectivity to personalized services, information and applications. We refer to these developments as the evolution to the “Connected World.”

In established markets, service providers are transforming their businesses as they attempt to derive revenue and profit from IP-based content services, while confronting increased competition from non-traditional competitors, including major Internet companies and handset manufacturers. In emerging markets, many startup operations are introducing communications services to markets for the first time, coping with massive scale and rapid growth; other companies are undergoing consolidations as providers with global brands seek to do business in these new geographies. Regardless of whether providers are bringing their first offerings to market, scaling for growth, consolidating systems, or transforming the way they do business, we believe they will succeed in differentiating their offerings by delivering a customer experience that is simple, personal and valuable at every point of service. We refer to this type of customer experience as the “intentional customer experience.” We seek to address these market forces through a strategy of forward-looking product development and holistic, vertical integration encompassing all systems from the customer to the network. Our goal is to supply cost-effective, scalable software products and services that provide functionality and flexibility to service providers as they — and their markets — grow and change.

We also offer a full range of directory systems and related services for publishers of both traditional printed Yellow Page and white page directories and electronic Internet directories, which we refer to as directory systems.

As we emerge from the recent economic crisis, we are confident in our strong competitive position. We have improved our operating efficiencies and cost competitiveness, yet we have continued investing in innovation, exemplified by the launch of our latest major release of our comprehensive portfolio, Amdocs CES 8, in January 2010. Amdocs CES 8 was developed to enable our customers to run leaner operations while, at the same time, prepare for the changes and opportunities that the Connected World offers, such as enabling their unique network, product and customer assets to expand into new business models. Additionally, in Amdocs CES 8 we have focused on reducing the costs associated with installation, implementation and maintenance of our systems which we believe will serve to further differentiate us in the market. Given our market position and the improved demand outlook, we believe that Amdocs will continue down the path of resumed growth throughout fiscal 2010.

We conduct our business globally, and as a result we are subject to the effects of global economic conditions and, in particular, market conditions in the communications, media and entertainment industry. In the six months ended March 31, 2010, customers in North America accounted for 76.2% of our revenue, while customers in Europe and the rest of the world accounted for 12.4% and 11.4%, respectively. We maintain development facilities in Cyprus, India, Ireland, Israel and the United States.

We derive our revenue principally from:

| • | the initial sales of licenses to use our products and related services, including modification, implementation, integration and customization services, | | --- | --- | | • | managed services in our domain expertise and other related services, and | | • | recurring revenue from ongoing support, maintenance and enhancements provided to our customers, and from incremental license fees resulting from increases in a customer’s business volume. |

Revenue is recognized only when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. We usually sell our software licenses as part of an overall solution offered to a customer that combines the sale of software licenses with a broad range of services, which normally include significant customization, modification, implementation and integration. Those services are deemed essential to the software. As a result, we generally recognize initial license fee and related service revenue over the course of these long-term projects, using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Subsequent license fee revenue is recognized upon completion of specified conditions in each contract, based on a customer’s subscriber or transaction volume or other measurements when greater than the level specified in the contract for the initial license fee. Revenue from software solutions that do not require significant customization, implementation and modification is recognized upon delivery. Revenue from services that do not involve significant ongoing obligations is recognized as services are rendered. In managed services contracts, we typically recognize revenue from the operation of a customer’s system as services are performed based on time elapsed, output produced or volume of data processed, depending on the specific contract terms of the managed services arrangement. Typically, managed services contracts are long-term in duration and are not subject to seasonality. Revenue from ongoing support services is recognized as work is performed.

Revenue from third-party hardware sales is recognized upon delivery and installation, and revenue from third-party software sales is recognized upon delivery. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement.

A significant portion of our revenue is recognized over the course of long-term projects under the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion method requires the exercise of judgment, such as with respect to estimations of progress-to-completion, contract revenue, loss contracts and contract costs. Progress in completing such projects may significantly affect our annual and quarterly operating results.

Revenue from managed services arrangements is included in both license and service revenue and includes IT and infrastructure management, application management and ongoing support, systems modernization and consolidation, business process operations support and end-to-end transformational business process outsourcing. Revenue generated in connection with managed services arrangements is a significant part of our business, accounting for approximately 45% and 40% of our total revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and generating substantial, long-term revenue streams, cash flow and operating income. In the initial period of our managed services projects, we generally invest in modernization and consolidation of the customer’s systems. Invoices are usually structured on a periodic fixed or unit charge basis. Managed services projects can be less profitable in the initial period, however, margins tend to improve over time as we derive benefit from the operational efficiencies and from changes in the geographical mix of our resources.

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for us beginning October 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. Based on our current operations we believe that the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons for the transfers, the reasons for any transfer in or out of Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy and a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of recurring assets and liabilities measured at Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. In addition to these new disclosure requirements the new guidance also clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. The guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for us beginning October 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for revenue recognition relating to arrangements containing both hardware and software elements. Under the new guidance, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB updated its authoritative guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. The revised guidance eliminates the requirement that “objective and reliable” evidence of fair value exist for an undelivered item in order for a delivered item to be treated as a specific unit of accounting. In addition, the guidance modifies the methodology to allocate transaction consideration to each identified unit of accounting by allowing the use of estimated selling price, or ESP, for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value or third-party evidence of selling price is unavailable. This results in the elimination of the residual method of allocating revenue consideration. We elected to early adopt the pronouncements at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after October 1, 2009. If VSOE of fair value or third-party evidence of selling price is unavailable, we determine ESP for the purposes of allocating the consideration to individual elements of an arrangement by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, margin objectives, geographies in which we offer our services and internal costs. The determination of ESP is made through consultation with and approval by our management. This guidance does not generally change the units of accounting in our revenue arrangements or the methodology by which transaction consideration is allocated to the various units of accounting due to the fact that for the majority of our existing multiple deliverables arrangements, we allocated transaction consideration for purposes of revenue recognition to each identified unit of accounting based upon its relative fair value, determined using VSOE. The new accounting standards for revenue recognition if applied to the year ended September 30, 2009 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position for that fiscal year. In addition, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.

Effective October 1, 2009, we adopted the new earnings per share authoritative guidance that provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. As such, they should be included in the computation of basic earnings per share, or EPS, using the two-class method. Prior-period EPS data presented have been adjusted retroactively, and this adjustment had no impact on basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009.

Effective October 1, 2009, we adopted the fair value measurements guidance for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Effective October 1, 2009, we adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance significantly changes the accounting for business combinations and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. Among the more significant changes, acquired in-process research and development will be capitalized and upon completion amortized over its useful life; acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred; restructuring costs will generally be expensed in periods after the acquisition date; contingent consideration will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date with subsequent changes recognized in earnings, and reductions in deferred tax valuation allowance relating to a business acquisition will be recognized in earnings. In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the revised business combination guidance regarding the accounting for assets acquired

and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. The impact of this accounting guidance on our results of operations or financial position will vary depending on each specific business combination. This guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position in the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.

Effective October 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance that changes the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirement to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations and changes in the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. The adoption of this accounting guidance had no impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Revenue. Total revenue increased by $3.9 million, or 0.3%, to $1,468.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,464.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. In the six months ended March 31, 2010, we continued to experience increased demand; however, the slower pace of new project signings and fewer transformation projects that we experienced throughout 2009 impacted our revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2010, and resulted in a relatively small increase in revenue compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to revenue from managed services customers, revenue from cable and satellite service providers and to foreign exchange impacts. The increase was partially offset by decreases in revenue related to projects.

License revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $31.7 million, or 38.8%, to $50.1 million, from $81.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. License revenue declined primarily due to the completion of some projects and the impact of fewer project signings in 2009.

License and service revenue attributable to the sale of customer experience systems decreased by $1.6 million, or 0.1%, to $1,367.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $1,369.0 million, in the six months ended March 31, 2009. License and service revenue resulting from the sale of customer experience systems represented 93.1% and 93.4% of our total revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

License and service revenue attributable to the sale of directory systems increased by $5.4 million, or 5.7%, to $101.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $96.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue from existing customers. License and service revenue from the sale of directory systems represented 6.9% and 6.6% of our total revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the six months ended March 31, 2010, revenue from customers in North America, Europe and the rest of the world accounted for 76.2%, 12.4% and 11.4%, respectively, of total revenue compared to 75.2%, 14.8% and 10.0%, respectively, in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenue from customers in North America was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue from managed services customers, revenue from cable and satellite service providers and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by decrease in projects related revenue. The decrease in revenue from customers in Europe was primarily attributable to a decline in projects related revenue. Revenue from customers in the rest of the world increased primarily due to revenue from managed services customers and revenue contributed by customers in emerging markets.

Cost of License and Service. Cost of license includes fee and royalty payments to software suppliers. Cost of service consists primarily of costs associated with providing services to customers, including compensation expense and costs of third-party products. The decrease in cost of license and service in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was $2.8 million, or 0.3%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of license and service was 63.9% in the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 64.3% in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in our cost of service, in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to our continued efforts to improve efficiencies including expansion into lower cost jurisdictions, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts . Our cost of service as a percentage of revenue, in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was positively impacted by higher margins from existing managed services arrangements. Margins from existing managed services tend to improve over time as we create cost efficiencies and improve business processes.

Research and Development. Research and development expense is primarily comprised of compensation expense. Research and development expense decreased by $7.7 million, or 7.0%, to $101.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $109.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. Research and development expense decreased as a percentage of revenue from 7.4% in the six months ended March 31, 2009 to 6.9% in the six months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily a result of changes in the geographical mix of our research and development resources as well as foreign exchange impacts. Our research and development efforts are a key element of our strategy and are essential to our success, and we intend to maintain our commitment to research and development. An increase or a decrease in our total revenue would not necessarily result in a proportional increase or decrease in the levels of our research and development expenditures, which could affect our operating margin.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $9.0 million, or 5.2%, to $183.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $174.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expense is primarily comprised of compensation expense. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to an increase in selling and marketing efforts in the six months ended March 31, 2010.

Restructuring Charges and In-Process Research and Development . Restructuring charges and in-process research and development in the six months ended March 31, 2009 consisted of a $15.1 million restructuring charge related primarily to our restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and a $5.7 million charge for the write-off of purchased in-process research and development related to a small acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Effective October 1, 2009, we adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations and as a result will capitalize in-process research and development in future acquisitions.

Operating Income . Operating income increased by $25.0 million, or 14.1%, to $202.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $177.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the effect of the restructuring charges and in-process research and development charges in the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Interest Expense and Other, Net. Interest expense and other, net increased by $19.9 million to $23.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $3.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest expense and other, net, was primarily attributable to impairment on investment in a Chinese subsidiary in which a majority interest was subsequently sold in April 2010. We retain a minority interest in this Chinese company.

Income Taxes . Income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $21.9 million on pretax income of $178.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.2%, compared to 10.8% in the six months ended March 31, 2009. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate between quarters as a result of discrete items that may affect a specific quarter.

Net Income . Net income was $156.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $154.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net income was attributable mainly to the increase in operating income, partially offset by increase in interest expense and other, net and income taxes.

Diluted Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.02, or 2.7%, to $0.76 in the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $0.74 in the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in diluted earnings per share resulted from the decrease in diluted weighted average numbers of shares outstanding.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we continued to experience increased demand. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to revenue from managed services customers, revenue from cable and satellite service providers and to foreign exchange impacts. The increase was partially offset by decreases in revenue attributable to completion of projects and a slower pace of new project signings and fewer transformation deals we experienced throughout 2009.

License revenue decreased by $11.3 million, or 30.3%, to $25.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $37.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. License revenue declined primarily due to the completion of some projects and the impact of fewer project signings in 2009.

License and service revenue attributable to the sale of customer experience systems was $689.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $21.0 million, or 3.1%, over the three months ended March 31, 2009. License and service revenue resulted from the sale of customer experience systems represented 92.6% and 93.9% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

License and service revenue from the sale of directory systems was $55.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $11.9 million, or 27.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue from existing customers. License and service revenue from the sale of directory systems represented 7.4% and 6.1% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, revenue from customers in North America, Europe and the rest of the world accounted for 76.9%, 12.4% and 10.7%, respectively, of total revenue compared to 75.9%, 14.8% and 9.3%, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenue from customers in North America was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue from managed services customers and cable and satellite service providers, partially offset by decrease in revenue related to projects. The decrease in revenue from customers in Europe was primarily attributable to a decline in revenue related to projects. Revenue from customers in the rest of the world increased primarily due to revenue from managed services customers and revenue contributed by customers in emerging markets.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $11.8 million on pretax income of $80.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 14.7%, compared to 10.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in our effective tax rate, was primarily attributable to impairment of investment on a Chinese subsidiary. Our effective tax rate may fluctuate between quarters as a result of discrete items that may affect a specific quarter.

Net Income . Net income was $68.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net income of $80.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net income was mainly attributable to the increase in interest expense and other, net and income taxes, partially offset by increase in our operating income.

Diluted Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.06, or 15.4% to $0.33 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $0.39 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in diluted earnings per share resulted primarily from the decrease in net income. Please see Note 10 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term interest-bearing investments totaled $1,361.5 million as of March 31, 2010, compared to $1,173.0 million as of September 30, 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to $358.1 million in positive cash flow from operations and $17.3 million proceeds from employee stock options exercised, partially offset by $149.7 million in net cash paid for acquisitions and $40.1 million for capital expenditures. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $358.1 million and $221.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our policy is to retain substantial cash balances in order to support our growth. We believe that our current cash balances, cash generated from operations and our current lines of credit will provide sufficient resources to meet our operational needs for at least the next fiscal year.

Our interest-bearing investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Such interest-bearing investments consist primarily of money market funds, U.S. government treasuries, U.S. agency securities, government guaranteed debt and corporate bonds. We believe we have conservative investment policy guidelines. Our interest-bearing investments are stated at fair value. Our interest-bearing investments are priced by pricing vendors and are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 investments, since these vendors either provide a quoted market price in an active market or use observable inputs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized a credit loss of $0.2 and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, unrealized losses of $2.3 million related to other-than-temporarily impaired securities were included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Please see Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, we entered into an unsecured $500 million five-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, which is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and repurchases of ordinary shares that we may consider from time to time. The interest rate for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is chosen at our option from several pre-defined alternatives, depends on the circumstances of any advance and is based on our credit rating. As of March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the revolving credit facility and had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees from various banks totaling $68.8 million. As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding obligations of $1.0 million in connection with leasing arrangements.

We have contractual obligations for our non-cancelable operating leases, purchase obligations, pension funding and convertible notes summarized in the tabular disclosure of contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Since September 30, 2009, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations other than in the ordinary course of our business.

Our capital expenditures were approximately $40.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2010. Approximately 80% of these expenditures consisted of purchases of computer equipment, and the remainder attributable mainly to leasehold improvements. The capital expenditures in the six months ended March 31, 2010 were mainly attributable to investments in our operating facilities and our development centers around the world. Our policy is to fund our capital expenditures principally from operating cash flows and we do not anticipate any changes to this policy in the foreseeable future.

In April 2010, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan allowing the repurchase of up to $700 million of our outstanding ordinary shares over the following 12 months. The authorization permits us to purchase our ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that we consider appropriate. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 (through May 12, 2010), we repurchased approximately 2.1 million ordinary shares at an average price of $31.24 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees).

Currency Fluctuations

We manage our foreign subsidiaries as integral direct components of our operations. The operations of our foreign subsidiaries provide the same type of services with the same type of expenditure throughout the Amdocs group. The U.S. dollar is our functional currency according to the salient economic factors as indicated in the authoritative guidance for foreign currency matters.

During the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 70% to 80% of our revenue and approximately 50% to 60% of our operating expenses were in U.S. dollars or linked to the U.S. dollar. If more customers will seek contracts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and as our operational activities outside of the United States may increase, the percentage of our revenue and operating expenses in U.S. dollar or linked to the U.S. dollar may decrease over time, which may increase our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In managing our foreign exchange risk, we enter from time to time into various foreign exchange hedging contracts. We do not hedge all of our exposure in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, but rather our policy is to hedge significant net exposures in the major foreign currencies in which we operate. We periodically assess the applicability of the U.S. dollar as our functional currency by reviewing the salient indicators.
