TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events.
We are filing
this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating the contents of
this report into the Registration Statement on Form S-3 that we intend
to file on December 11, 2006.
Consolidation of Reportable Segments
As previously
reported, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we consolidated
our Enterprise Security, Data Protection, and Storage and Server Management segments into two
segments — the Security and Data Management segment and the Data Center Management segment.
Pursuant to guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have recast in Exhibit
99.01 filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K the following items that were contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (“Annual Report”), to reflect this
change in reportable segments: Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” and Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The
information included in and with this Current Report on Form 8-K is presented for information
purposes only in connection with the change in our reportable segments. There is no change to our
previously reported consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows. The changes
to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
are to refer to the consolidated operating segment structure that we adopted in fiscal 2007, to
report Net revenues, Operating income (loss) and Depreciation & amortization expense for our
reportable segments in these segments and to discuss these matters consistently with this
presentation.
In Item 1, “Business,” of our Annual Report, in the subsection entitled “Operating
Segments and Products,” we refer to our having viewed our business in six operating segments and to
the fact that beginning in the June 2006 quarter, our Enterprise Security, Data Protection, and
Storage and Server Management segments would be consolidated into the Security and Data Management
segment and the Data Center Management segment. We are now operating in the reportable segments
that we indicated would become effective in the June 2006 quarter. Our Security and Data
Management segment focuses on providing enterprise and large
enterprise customers with endpoint security, information security,
and security management software, as well as providing small and
medium-sized businesses with software to provision, backup, secure,
and remotely access their personal computers and servers. Our Data Center Management segment focuses on providing enterprise and large
enterprise customers with storage and server management, data protection, and application
performance management solutions.
