(Unaudited)

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pervasive Software Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Pervasive”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2005, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on September 13, 2005 (File No. 000-23043). The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

The components of comprehensive income are as follows:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment - An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95. This revised standard addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the new standard, companies are no longer able to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic-value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Instead, companies are required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in the statement of operations.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective beginning July 1, 2005 using the modified prospective application transition method. The modified prospective application method requires that companies recognize compensation expense on stock-based payment awards that are modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost of the portion of awards of which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of July 1, 2005 shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered.

The impact of adopting SFAS 123R on operating income, net income, and basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

The weighted average estimated grant date fair value, as defined by SFAS 123R, for options granted under the company’s stock option plan during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was $2.84 and $2.85 per share, respectively .

If the company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123R in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2004, the weighted average estimated grant date fair value for options granted under the company’s stock option plan would have been $3.15 and $3.24 per share, respectively.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, had compensation expense for stock options been determined based on the fair value of the options at dates of grant consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The fair value of each award granted from our stock option plan during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

As of December 31, 2005, $5.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over the course of the following 4 years.

As of December 31, 2005, Pervasive had goodwill in the amount of $39.0 million associated with the acquisition of Data Junction. The Company previously determined, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, that it would assess the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if other indicators of impairment arise. Other intangible assets, classified as Purchased Technology on the balance sheet, amounted to $5.3 million (net of accumulated amortization of $3.0 million) as of December 31, 2005. These intangible assets consist of developed technology, including the $6.3 million value assigned to amortizable intangible assets related to developed technology in connection with the acquisition of Data Junction during the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the $550,000 purchase of a database transaction intelligence technology from ThinkNet Inc., a software development company based in Toronto, Ontario, the $600,000 license of full text search technology from ABACUS Research A.G., a software development company based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and the $493,000 license of modeling environment technology from Metaserver Inc., a software development company based in New Haven, Connecticut. The Company is amortizing these assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally five to ten years. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets is anticipated to be approximately $1.6 million for each of the years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008, approximately $0.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2009 and approximately $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Overview

Pervasive Software is a global value leader in data infrastructure software. Thousands of businesses worldwide rely on our solutions to help manage, integrate, analyze and secure their critical data. Our data management and integration product lines are designed specifically for small to mid-sized businesses and departments of large enterprises where high performance, flexibility, rapid deployment and low total cost of ownership (TCO) are paramount. In addition, significant portions of our product line are embeddable into commercial applications for sale predominantly to small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs) through a well-developed channel of independent software vendors (ISVs), value-added resellers (VARs) and systems integrators.

Our flagship Pervasive.SQL database, offering unparalleled data management technology combined with very low TCO, has more than 6 million server seats licensed since inception in 1994. The full data management product line also includes specific solutions for data movement and synchronization, and addresses security challenges related to data integrity, accountability, continuity and availability throughout the data life cycle. The product line is designed for integration by ISVs into client/server, Web and mobile applications and is predominantly sold to SMEs, which typically have environments with little to no information technology (IT) infrastructure, and require self-tuning, low-administration products.

Our data and application integration solutions feature a comprehensive set of visual design tools to rapidly build and test integration processes, regardless of size and complexity, across hundreds of data formats and applications within and outside of the enterprise. The Pervasive Integration product line is designed to grow and scale for the diverse data and application integration needs of mid-sized businesses and departments of large enterprises and the ISVs, Application Service Providers and Systems Integrators who serve them. Our focus on rapid implementation and ease of use helps reduce the complexity, costs and risks associated with traditional labor-intensive integration methods.

Our open source database management solution, Pervasive Postgres, is a commercial distribution of PostgreSQL, offering enterprise-ready core database technology. Pervasive Postgres is targeted to mainstream businesses that require a high-quality relational database management solution at a low cost. Users can select Pervasive Postgres for brand new business and web applications, as well as for database migrations from other proprietary databases. Most open source databases fail to meet required business needs, and most open source database providers lack the experience to successfully service and support the technology. While companies increasingly consider open source databases as an alternative for managing their data, they require functionality and reliable support before making a commitment. We believe that a scalable, low TCO corporate database that is fully supported by an experienced database provider is the best solution for budget-conscious, data-demanding businesses of all sizes. Pervasive Postgres is just such an open source database solution.

Our customer base is both large and diverse; we serve tens of thousands of customers in virtually every industry and market around the world. We sell products in more than 150 countries through direct sales and channel

distribution. Founded in 1994, Pervasive is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with international offices in Brussels; Frankfurt; London; Paris and Bangalore; and a joint venture in Japan.

On January 10, 2005, we introduced Pervasive Postgres, a commercial distribution of open source database, PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is a leading open source database, offering enterprise-ready core technology like views, triggers, stored procedures and security, and is released under the business-friendly BSD license, allowing royalty-free use within commercial settings. Pervasive Postgres offers formal support, a clear roadmap and technological enhancements designed to help reduce the costs and remove barriers facing open source adoption, ensuring that PostgreSQL is suitable for more users. Pervasive Postgres takes advantage of Pervasive Software-driven critical development enhancements to the base PostgreSQL product, such as seamless automated installation and easy to use administration tools that accelerate time-to-value and provide corporate users with a cost-effective platform on which to build applications. The addition of Pervasive Postgres to our data infrastructure software family now gives us a full spectrum of database offerings that meets the needs of customers both large and small. Corporate adopters of open source databases can now depend on Pervasive, one of the most trusted and experienced database companies in the marketplace.

On December 4, 2003 we completed the acquisition of Data Junction Corporation (“Data Junction”). The aggregate cash plus share purchase price for all of the common stock of Data Junction was approximately $46.6 million, net of cash acquired from Data Junction. The acquisition of Data Junction brought data integration and transformation technologies and products, which are complementary to our existing data management products, expertise and customer base. Winner of more than 20 major industry awards, Data Junction was a market leader in innovative integration technology, helping customers quickly and cost-effectively connect disparate data sources. Primary integration products include a comprehensive set of visual design tools for rapidly building and testing data integration processes that work with hundreds of data formats and applications. This enables design with total control over all aspects of the integration project – from creating integration maps to managing complex, event-driven flow of inter-application messages and EDI processes. Data Junction virtually created the category known as ETL (extract, transform and load) in 1986 with Data Junction v1.0, one of the world’s first hub-and-spoke approaches to data conversion and translation, and today is charting new ground in the development of business and application integration technologies.

In July 2001, we formed a new business venture with AG-TECH Corporation, a company developing, selling and importing packaged software, to sell and support our products in Japan. AG-TECH has been engaged in the sales and support of Btrieve (predecessor to Pervasive.SQL) and Pervasive.SQL products since 1986. In conjunction with the joint venture, AG-TECH launched a new operating division staffed with specialists experienced in selling and supporting Pervasive.SQL to assume responsibility for OEM sales, packaged software sales, technical support and localization and translation of our products into Japanese. The new business venture has resulted in improved profitability on sales in Japan as the arrangement allowed us to significantly reduce our costs in Japan. In connection with the new business venture, we obtained a less than 20% ownership interest in AG-TECH and the ability to elect one director to the AG-TECH Board of Directors. Pervasive’s revenues from Japan were $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. In June 2004, we renewed portions of our distribution agreement with AG-TECH for an additional three-year period ending June 30, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our 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. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

11

Table of Contents

We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition - We license our software through OEM license agreements with software developers, or ISVs, and through shrink-wrap software licenses, sold through ISVs, value-added resellers, or VARs, systems integrators and distributors, or direct to end users. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant Company obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Revenues related to OEM license agreements involving nonrefundable fixed minimum license fees are generally recognized upon delivery of the product master or first copy if no significant vendor obligations remain. Per copy royalties related to OEM license agreements in excess of a fixed minimum amount are recognized as revenue when such amounts are reported to us. Revenue from post contract support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades is recognized ratably over the contract term. We generally provide telephone support to customers and end users in the 30 days immediately following the sale at no additional charge and at a minimal cost per call. We accrue the cost of providing this support. Revenue from consulting services and training is recognized when the related services are performed. We enter into agreements with certain distributors that provide for certain stock rotation and price protection rights. These rights allow the distributor to return products in a non-cash exchange for other products or for credits against future purchases. Revenue from shipping and handling is recognized at the shipping date. Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of product license revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Where software licenses are sold with maintenance or other services, we allocate the total fee to the various elements based on the fair values of the elements. We determine the fair value of each element in the arrangement based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value. VSOE of fair value is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and, for support services, is additionally measured by the renewal rate. If we do not have VSOE for one of the delivered elements of an arrangement, but do have VSOE for all undelivered elements, we use the residual method to record revenue. Under the residual method, the arrangement fee is first allocated to the undelivered elements based upon their VSOE of fair value; the remaining arrangement fee, including any discount, is allocated to the delivered element. If the residual method is not used, discounts, if any, are applied proportionately to each element included in the arrangement based on each element’s fair value without regard to the discount.

Sales Returns and Bad Debt Reserves - We reserve for the cost of estimated sales returns, stock rotation and price protection rights as well as uncollectible accounts based on experience.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – We assess whether goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are impaired on an annual basis. Upon determining the existence of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangibles impairment, we measure that impairment based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangibles exceeds its fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole, as if that reporting unit had just been acquired and the purchase price were being initially allocated. Additional impairment assessments may be performed on an interim basis if we encounter events or changes in circumstance that would indicate that, more likely than not, the book value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangibles has been impaired.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense – We account for employee stock-based compensation costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment.” We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock-based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Historical volatility was used in estimating the fair value of our stock-based awards rather than implied volatility, while the expected life was estimated to be four years based on historical trends since our initial public offering. Further, as required under SFAS 123R, we now

12

Table of Contents

estimate forfeitures for options granted, which are not expected to vest. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. The estimated fair value is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying awards, which is generally four years. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options having no vesting restrictions and being fully transferable. Accordingly, our estimate of fair value may not represent the value assigned by a third-party in an arms-length transaction. While our estimate of fair value and the associated charge to earnings materially impacts our results of operations, it has no impact on our cash position.

Taxes - Under the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“Statement 109”), deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We then assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance. We concluded that a full valuation allowance was required for all periods presented. While we have considered future taxable income in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made, increasing our income in the period in which such determination was made. Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, the amounts of and benefits from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses and tax credits that we may utilize include, but are not limited to, a cumulative change of more than 50% ownership of the company, as defined, over a three year period, and changes in the relative mix of our foreign source taxable income versus our domestic taxable income. Further, our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to potential expiration if not utilized by certain dates in the future.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities. Accruals for tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Although we believe we have appropriate support for the positions taken on our tax returns, we have recorded a liability for our best estimate of the probable loss on certain of these positions. We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years, based on our assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter, which matters result primarily from intercompany transfer pricing. Although we believe our recorded assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain; therefore our assessments can involve both a series of complex judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. Although we believe that the estimates and assumptions supporting our assessments are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and recorded assets and liabilities. Based on the results of an audit or litigation, a material effect on our income tax provision, net income, or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made could result. Due to the complexity involved we are not able to estimate the range of reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts recorded.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of revenues represented by certain lines in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenues

Revenue from our embedded database product, Pervasive.SQL, decreased during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 as compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2005. Our embedded database business continues to be under pressure due to a variety of factors including, increasing competition and what we believe to be the increasingly negative impact of general economic conditions on our ISV customers who build applications utilizing our database software and reduced demand for the ISVs’ software applications themselves. Our embedded database and related products represented approximately 70% of our revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Our integration products represented approximately 30% of our revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and grew nominally during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 as compared to the first six months of 2005. Although we have not generated substantial revenue from Pervasive Postgres to date, we believe that our entry in to the open source database market represents an opportunity to be a participant in this emerging market. A continued reduction in our embedded database business, or our inability to grow our integration products business and our open source database business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our revenues were $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of 3% over the $11.6 million reported for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Our revenues for the six-month period ending December 31, 2005 decreased 2% to $23.0 million as compared to $23.4 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Our product license revenues were $8.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of 6% over the $8.9 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Our product license revenues for the six-month period ending December 31, 2005 decreased 4% to $17.1 million as compared to $17.8 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Licenses of our embedded database software operating on Windows NT or other Microsoft operating systems continue to represent more than 90% of our database product license revenues. We expect that the percentages of our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on particular platforms will continue to change from time to time. We cannot be certain that our revenues attributable to licenses of our software operating on Windows NT, or any other operating system platform, will grow in the future.

Our service and other revenues were $3.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 9% over the $2.7 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Our service and other revenues for the six-month period ending December 31, 2005 increased 5% to $5.8 million as compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is attributable to an increase in support and maintenance contracts and an increase in professional services revenue.

Table of Contents

International revenues, consisting of all revenues from customers located outside of North America, were $4.2 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 37% and 33% of total revenues, respectively. International revenues were $9.1 million and $8.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 39% and 37% of total revenues, respectively. The decline in international revenue, on a year over year basis, is a reflection of the overall pressure on the database product. We expect that international revenues will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues in the future.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Product License Revenues. Cost of product license revenues consists primarily of the cost to manufacture and fulfill orders for our shrink-wrap software products, payment of license fees for third-party technologies embedded in our products and amortization of purchased technology. Cost of product license revenues was $0.6 million and $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 5% and 5% of total revenues, respectively. Cost of product license revenues was $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the six-month period ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 5% and 5% of total revenues, respectively. We anticipate that cost of product license revenues in the near term will be consistent with costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Cost of Service and Other Revenues. Cost of service and other revenues consists primarily of the cost to provide technical support, primarily telephone support, and the costs to deliver professional services and training services to others. Cost of service and other revenues was $1.1 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 10% and 12% of total revenues, respectively. Cost of service and other revenues was $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the six-month period ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 11% and 12% of total revenues, respectively. Cost of service and other revenues increased in dollar amount for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 primarily as a result of the requirement to record stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123(R) beginning on July 1, 2005 as well as an increase in costs related to technical support personnel. We anticipate that cost of service and other revenues in the near term will be consistent with the costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel, foreign sales office expenses, marketing programs and promotional expenses, and travel and entertainment. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.5 million and $4.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 47% and 44% of total revenues, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.9 million and $10.0 million for the six months ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 47% and 43% of total revenues, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is due primarily to a reduction in costs related to sales and marketing personnel, offset partially by stock-based compensation expense related to the requirement to record stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123(R) beginning on July 1, 2005. We expect sales and marketing expenses in the near term will be consistent with the costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs. Research and development expenses were $2.8 million and $2.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 24% and 22% of total revenues, respectively. Research and development expenses were $5.4 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 23% and 24% of total revenues, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses is due primarily to a reduction in costs related to research and development personnel, offset partially by stock-based compensation expense related to the requirement to record stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123(R) beginning on July 1, 2005. We anticipate that research and development expenses in the near term will be consistent with the costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and other costs associated with our finance, human resources, information systems and administrative departments. General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million and $1.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 10% and 15% of total revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, representing 9% and 14% of total revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of the requirement to

Table of Contents

record stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123(R) beginning on July 1, 2005. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses in the near term will be consistent with costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

Restructuring Charges. We announced certain senior management changes effective January 24, 2006, including the departure of our former President and Chief Executive Officer, David Sikora, and our former Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, Jeff Seiden, and the appointment of John Farr, who previously served as our Chief Financial Officer, as our new President and Chief Executive Officer. We will incur severance expenses associated with these changes during the quarter ending March 31, 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was approximately $62,000 and $50,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Provision for income taxes was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to foreign operations. Income from U.S. operations has been offset by net operating losses carried forward from previous years to the extent available and income tax from U.S. operations has been offset by tax credits carried forward from previous years.

Based on a number of factors, we believe that it is more likely than not, that a substantial amount of our deferred tax assets may not be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets based on the lack of significant earnings history, recent revenue decreases and risks associated with business combinations. We expect to continue to incur foreign taxes associated with our international operations while our domestic income taxes will remain minimal as we utilize substantial net operating losses and foreign tax credits carried forward from previous years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operations was $4.9 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended December 31, 2005 resulted primarily from net income, a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenue. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended December 31, 2004 resulted primarily from net income and a decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by payment of a lease termination fee of $2.3 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the first six months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, we received net proceeds of $0.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively, from the sale or maturity of marketable securities, consisting of various taxable and tax advantaged securities. In addition, we purchased property and equipment totaling approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This property consisted primarily of computer hardware and software. We expect that our capital expenditures will be consistent with the prior fiscal year.

In July 2003, we announced the authorization of a new $5.0 million stock repurchase plan which became effective upon expiration of the previous plan on July 21, 2003. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, we repurchased 151,600 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $0.6 million.

During the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we received approximately $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in proceeds from the exercise of stock options resulting in the issuance of shares of our common stock of approximately 89,000 and 313,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

On December 31, 2005, we had $38.0 million in working capital, including $41.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

The majority of our operations are based in the United States and, accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. Dollars. However, we do have foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Currently, we have operations in Japan, Belgium, Germany, France, England and India and conduct transactions in the local currency of each location. We monitor our foreign currency exposure and, from time to time will attempt to reduce our exposure through hedging. The impact of fluctuations in the relative value of other foreign currencies was not material for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Quantitative and qualitative information about market risk was addressed in Item 7A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our Financial Results May Vary Significantly from Quarter to Quarter

Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter at times in the past and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future due to a variety of factors. Many of these factors are outside of our control. These factors include:

18

Table of Contents

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from relatively large transactions. The sales cycles for these transactions tend to be longer than the sales cycles on smaller orders. This longer sales cycle for large transactions makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which these sales will occur. Accordingly, our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the existence and timing of larger transactions. A reduction in large transactions during any quarter could materially impact our revenues.

Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services, which in turn depends on general economic and business conditions. The nature and extent of the effect of the current economic climate on our ability to sell our products and services is uncertain. A softening of demand for our products and services caused by weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively promote revenue growth rates in all economic conditions.

Significant portions of our expenses are not variable in the short term and cannot be quickly reduced to respond to decreases in revenues. Therefore, if our revenues are below our expectations, our operating results are likely to be adversely and disproportionately affected. In addition, we may change our prices, modify our distribution strategy and policies, accelerate our investment in research and development, sales or marketing efforts in response to competitive pressures or pursue new market opportunities. Any one of these activities may further limit our ability to adjust spending in response to revenue fluctuations.

Seasonality May Contribute to Fluctuations in Our Quarterly Operating Results

Our business has, on occasion, experienced seasonal customer buying patterns. In recent years, we have generally experienced relatively weaker demand in the quarter ending September 30. We believe that this pattern may continue. In addition, we anticipate that demand for our products in Europe and Japan will decline in the summer months because of reduced corporate buying patterns during the vacation season.

We Currently Operate Without a Backlog

We generally operate with virtually no order backlog because our software products are shipped and revenue is recognized shortly after orders are received. This lack of backlog makes product revenues in any quarter substantially dependent on orders booked and shipped throughout that quarter.

Our Performance Depends on Market Acceptance of Pervasive.SQL

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the license of our Pervasive.SQL products. Continued market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL may be influenced heavily by factors outside of our control such as new product offerings or promotions by competitors, mergers and acquisitions of customers and competitors, the product development and deployment cycles of developers and resellers who embed or bundle our products into packaged software applications and demand for applications of the type built on our products. Market acceptance of Pervasive.SQL V9 (released March 15, 2005) and future upgrades also may be influenced by factors in our control such as product quality, relative demand for feature and functionality upgrades and any future product announcements or price changes.

Revenue from our embedded database product, Pervasive.SQL, decreased in fiscal year 2005, relative to the fiscal year 2004. We believe this decrease was due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the length of time since the last major version release of our database product (Version 8 in December 2002), increasing competition and what we believe to be the increasingly negative impact of general economic conditions on our ISV customers who build applications utilizing our database software and reduced demand for the ISVs’ software

applications themselves. We believe the integration products we acquired in fiscal year 2004 represent a meaningful growth opportunity as we invest in revenue synergies and opportunities presented by the acquired business, combined with our historical database business and channels. A continued reduction in our embedded database business, or our inability to grow our integration products business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our Efforts to Develop and Maintain Brand Awareness of Our Products May Not be Successful

Brand awareness is important given competition in the market for data infrastructure software products. We are aware of other companies that use the word “Pervasive” either in their marks alone or in combination with other words. We expect that it may be difficult or impossible to prevent third-party usage of the Pervasive name and variations of this name for competing goods and services. Competitors or others who use marks similar to our brand name may cause confusion among actual and potential customers, which could prevent us from achieving significant brand recognition. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand or incur significant related expenses, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We Must Succeed in the Data Management Infrastructure Software Market as well as the Data Integration Software Market if we are to Realize the Expected Benefits of the Merger

Our long-term strategic plan depends upon the successful development and introduction of products and solutions that address the needs of the data management infrastructure software market as well as the data integration software market. In order for us to succeed in these markets, we must align strategies and objectives and focus a significant portion of our resources towards serving these markets.

The challenges involved include the following:

In addition, our success in these markets will depend on several factors, many of which are outside our control including:

If we are unable to succeed in this market our business may be harmed and we may be prevented from realizing the anticipated benefits of the merger and our investment in open source database technology.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Past Acquisitions, Joint Ventures or Licensing Arrangements

In April 2005, we licensed technology from Metaserver Inc., a software development company based in New Haven, Connecticut. The licensed technology is a design tool that facilitates the modeling of processes and the creation of connections between processes and supporting applications and data. We licensed the technology for $493,000. Following a productization and integration effort, this technology was made available in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. We cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for this new technology will meet our expectations.

In January 2005, we entered into an offshore development, support and services agreement with Aztec Software and Technologies Limited, an outsourcing company based in Bangalore, India. Pursuant to the agreement, Aztec will provide certain enhancements to Pervasive Postgres and certain levels of support to our customers who have entered into support agreements with us related to Pervasive Postgres. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in the promotion of Pervasive Postgres or that end users will purchase our annual subscriptions for support. It is possible that our efforts to promote and support Pervasive Postgres may divert the attention of management away from our other products and that we may not realize the strategic and operational benefits and objectives we had anticipated, including, greater revenue and market opportunities. Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

On December 8, 2003 we announced the completion of our acquisition of privately held Data Junction Corporation, a pioneering data and application integration company based in Austin, Texas, for approximately $16.6 million in cash, net of $6.5 million of cash held by Data Junction at the time of closing of the transaction, and 5 million shares of our common stock. We cannot be certain that we will realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In particular we may not realize the strategic and operational benefits we had anticipated, including greater revenue and market opportunities, maintaining industry leadership and consistent profitability.

In July 2003, we licensed technology from ABACUS Research A.G., a software development company based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The licensed technology enables users to perform advanced searches into application and Web portal data, providing sub-second responses across large databases. We licensed the technology for $600,000. Following a productization and integration effort, this technology was made available in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. We cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for this new technology will meet our expectations.

In April 2003, we purchased a database transaction intelligence technology from ThinkNet Inc., a software development company based in Toronto, Ontario. The acquired technology provides a continuous, comprehensive and auditable view of an application’s database operations, such as who did what when, where and how. It consists of a Pervasive.SQL logging plug-in, a query and analysis module, and a sophisticated business rules engine. It also alerts administrators to events according to predefined business rules and reports activity efficiently for analysis. We acquired the technology for $550,000 in cash. Following a productization and integration effort, a new product, Pervasive Audit Master, was launched in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. We cannot be certain that the market acceptance or demand for this new product will meet our expectations.

In July 2001, we formed a new business venture with AG-TECH Corporation, a company developing, selling and importing packaged software, to sell and support our products in Japan. AG-TECH has been engaged in the sales and support of Btrieve (predecessor to Pervasive.SQL) and Pervasive.SQL products since 1986. In conjunction with the joint venture, AG-TECH launched a new operating division staffed with specialists experienced in selling and supporting Pervasive.SQL to assume responsibility for OEM sales, packaged software sales, technical support and localization and translation of our products into Japanese. In connection with the new business venture, we obtained a less than 20% ownership interest in AG-TECH and the ability to elect one director to the AG-TECH Board of Directors. While this venture has been successful to date, we cannot be certain that this venture will continue to be successful, which could result in our inability to successfully operate in Japan. In addition, as a part of our venture, we executed a three year master distributor agreement with AG-TECH, the initial term of which expired June 30, 2004. This agreement has been renewed for an additional three-year term which expires June 30, 2007. We cannot be certain that we will continue to be able to renew our agreement with AG-TECH on terms and conditions at least as favorable to Pervasive as those contained in our present agreement. Further, we may be unable to maintain or increase Japanese market demand for our products.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Future Acquisitions, Joint Ventures or Licensing Arrangements

In the future, we may acquire additional businesses, products and technologies, or enter into joint venture or licensing arrangements, that could complement, modify or expand our business. Our negotiations of potential acquisitions or joint ventures and our integration of acquired businesses, products or technologies could divert management time and resources. Any future acquisitions could require us to issue dilutive equity securities, reduce our cash and marketable securities, incur debt or contingent liabilities, amortize intangibles, or write-off purchased research and development and other acquisition-related expenses. If we are unable to fully integrate acquired businesses, products or technologies with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of acquisitions. In addition, market reactions to acquisitions are difficult to predict and if we do announce any future acquisitions, such market reactions may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

Our Investment in Pervasive Postgres May Not Be Successful

While we believe that Pervasive Postgres offers a scalable, low TCO corporate database solution, we can not be certain that we will be successful in the development or marketing of this new open source database solution. The commercial market for open source databases is still in an early stage and to date we have not generated a substantial amount of revenue from Pervasive Postgres. We cannot be certain that this market will develop and mature or that Pervasive Postgres will adequately meet the needs of this market. In addition, the development and marketing of Pervasive Postgres will require a significant amount of management’s attention. Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We May Face Problems in Connection With Product Line Expansion

In the future, we may acquire, license or develop additional products. Future product line expansion may require us to modify or expand our business. If we are unable to fully integrate new products with our existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of such product line expansion.

A Small Number of Distributors and Sales Related to Accounting Software Applications Account For a Significant Percentage of Our Revenues

The loss of a major distributor, changes in a distributor’s payment practices, changes in the financial stability of a major distributor or any reduction in orders by such distributor, including reductions due to market or competitive conditions combined with the potential inability to replace the distributor on a timely basis, or any modifications to our pricing or distribution channel strategy could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Many of our ISVs, VARs and end users place their orders through distributors. A relatively small number of distributors have accounted for a significant percentage of our revenues. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, one distributor (our joint venture partner in Japan, AG-TECH Corporation) accounted for an aggregate of approximately 13% of our revenues, as compared to 12% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Additionally, we estimate that approximately 20% of our database revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were from sales related to accounting software applications. Furthermore, there is currently consolidation taking place among our ISVs that could narrow the number of customers who sell our products. For example, one of our ISVs, The Sage Group plc, has acquired Timberline Software Corporation, Softline Limited, and ACCPAC International Inc., three of our ISVs. These four ISVs together have, at various times in the past, represented as much as 10% of our revenues. Accordingly, our sales to The Sage Group plc could constitute 10% or more of our revenues in the future. As a result, we expect we will continue to depend on a limited number of distributors, certain of our ISV customers and sales related to accounting software applications for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods and the loss of a significant distributor or ISV customer could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, we expect that such distributors and sales related to accounting software applications will vary from period to period. Our distributors have not agreed to any minimum order requirements. Although we forecast demand and plan accordingly, if a distributor purchases excess product, we may be obligated to accept the return of some products.

We Depend on Our Indirect Sales Channel

Our failure to grow our indirect sales channel or the loss of a significant number of members of our indirect channel partners would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from indirect sales through a channel consisting of independent software vendors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, consultants and distributors. Our sales channel could be adversely affected by a number of factors including:

We cannot be certain we will be able to continue to attract additional indirect channel partners or retain our current partners. In addition, we cannot be certain our competitors will not attempt to recruit certain of our current or future partners. For example, in December 2000, Microsoft (a competitor) acquired Great Plains Software (a former OEM and channel partner). Any similar transactions may have an adverse effect on our ability to attract and retain partners.

We May Not Be Able to Develop Strategic Relationships

Our current collaborative relationships may not prove to be beneficial to us, and they may not be sustained. We may not be able to enter into successful new strategic relationships in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. From time to time, we have collaborated with other companies in areas such as product development, marketing, distribution and implementation. However, many of our current and potential strategic partners are either actual or potential competitors with us. In addition, many of our current relationships are informal or, if written, terminable with little or no notice.

We Depend on Third-Party Technology in Our Products

We rely upon certain software that we license from third parties, including software integrated with our internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of, or inability to maintain or obtain any of these software licenses, could result in shipment delays or reductions until we develop, identify, license and integrate equivalent software. Any delay in product development or shipment could damage our business, operating results and financial condition.

We May be Unable to Protect Our Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect our software and other proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. However, these measures afford us only limited protection. Furthermore, we use third-party service providers in India for some of our development and the laws of India do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In addition, we rely in part on “shrink wrap” and “click wrap” licenses that are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Therefore, our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate. We cannot be certain that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around the copyrights and trade secrets owned by us. Unauthorized parties may attempt to

23

Table of Contents

copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information we regard as proprietary. Although we believe software piracy may be a problem, we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software products occurs. In addition, portions of our source code are developed in foreign countries with laws that do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

We may be subjected to claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment continues to grow and the functionality of products in different industry segments increasingly overlaps. Any infringement claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or the loss or deferral of sales or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of intellectual property infringement against us, should we fail or be unable to either license the technology or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We Must Adapt to Rapid Technological Change

Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and new industry standards and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards characterize the market for our products. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result of the complexities inherent in client/server and Web computing environments and in data and application integration solutions, and the performance demanded by customers for data infrastructure software products, new products and product enhancements can require long development and testing periods. As a result, significant delays in the general availability of such new releases or significant problems in the installation or implementation of such new releases could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have experienced delays in the past in the release of new products and new product enhancements. We may not be successful in:

Our Software May Contain Errors or Defects

Errors or defects in our products may result in loss of revenues or delay in market acceptance, and could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Software products such as ours may contain errors, sometimes called “bugs,” particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. From time to time, we discover software errors in certain of our new products after their introduction. Despite our testing, current versions, new versions or enhancements of our products may still have errors after commencement of commercial shipments. Product errors can put us at a competitive disadvantage and can be costly and time-consuming to correct.

We May Become Subject to Product or Professional Services Liability Claims

A product or professional services liability claim, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition. Our license and service agreements with our customers

24

Table of Contents

typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product or service liability claims. However, these contract provisions may not preclude all potential claims. Product or professional services liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages.

We Compete with Microsoft while Simultaneously Supporting Microsoft Technologies

We currently compete with Microsoft in the market for data management products while simultaneously maintaining a working relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft has a longer operating history, a larger installed base of customers and substantially greater financial, distribution, marketing and technical resources than Pervasive. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively with Microsoft now or in the future, and our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We expect that Microsoft’s commitment to and presence in the data management products market will substantially increase competitive pressures. We believe that Microsoft will continue to incorporate SQL Server database technology into its operating system software and certain of its server software offerings, possibly at no additional cost to its users. Microsoft currently licenses a royalty-free limited version of its SQL Server database technology. We believe that Microsoft will also continue to enhance its SQL Server database technology and that Microsoft will continue to invest in various sales and marketing programs involving certain of our channel partners.

In addition, Microsoft continues to grow its presence in the software applications market. For example, they acquired Great Plains Software, a former channel partner of Pervasive, and Navision, both of which are accounting software vendors. Microsoft has also entered the customer relationship management software market. We believe that Microsoft will continue to grow its presence in the software applications market and in doing so, may have a negative impact on the financial stability of other software application vendors who use our products, or may influence other software application vendors to use Microsoft infrastructure software products instead of those available from Pervasive.

We believe we must maintain a working relationship with Microsoft to achieve success. Many of our customers use Microsoft-based operating platforms. Thus it is critical to our success that our products be closely integrated with Microsoft technologies. Notwithstanding our historical and current support of Microsoft platforms, Microsoft may in the future promote technologies and standards more directly competitive with or not compatible with our technology.

We Face Significant Competition From Other Companies

We encounter competition for our embedded database products primarily from large, public companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM and Progress. In particular, Sybase’s small memory footprint database software product, Adaptive Server Anywhere, and Microsoft’s product, SQL Server, directly compete with our products. Further, our recently announced Pervasive Postgres initiative competes directly with corporate database solutions sold by the companies listed above. And, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we may encounter additional competition from other established or emerging companies providing database products based on existing, new or open-source technologies.

Open-source software, which is an emerging trend in the software marketplace, may impact our business as interest, demand and use increases in the database segment and poses a challenge to our business model, including recent efforts by proponents of open-source software to convince governments worldwide to mandate the use of open-source software in their purchase and deployments of software products. Firms adopting the open-source software model typically provide customers software produced by loosely associated groups of unpaid programmers and made available for license to end users at nominal cost, and earn revenue on complementary services and products, without having to bear the full costs of research and development for the open-source software. Because the present demand for open-source database software is largely concentrated in major corporations, our embedded database business has not been adversely affected to date. However, it is likely that increased adoption of Linux will drive heightened interest in other more mature software categories such as database and certain business applications. Our recently announced open-source software initiative, Pervasive Postgres, is our response to the emerging trend in open source software in the corporate database market. To the extent competing open-source

25

Table of Contents

software products gain increasing market acceptance, sales of our products may decline, we may have to reduce prices we charge for our products, and our revenue and operating margins may decline. Mass adoption of open source databases in the SME market could have a material adverse impact on our database business.

Application service providers (ASPs) may enter our market and could cause a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server and Web-based applications to renting applications. Our competitors may be more successful than we are in adopting these revenue models and capturing related market share.

The market for our integration products is highly competitive and subject to rapidly changing technology. We principally compete against ETL (extract, transform and load) software vendors and data warehousing and application integration software providers. Such competitors include Ascential/IBM, Business Objects, Embarcadero, Informatica, and Information Builders. In addition, we compete or may compete against database vendors that currently offer, or may develop, products with functionalities that compete with our solutions. These products typically operate specifically with these competitors’ proprietary databases. Such competitors include IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. Competition also comes in the form of custom code, where potential customers have sufficient internal technical resources to develop solutions in-house without the aid of our products or those of our competitors.

Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers. In addition, some competitors have demonstrated a willingness to, or may willingly in the future, incur substantial losses as a result of deeply discounted product offerings or aggressive marketing campaigns. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of competitive products, than we can. There is also a substantial risk that changes in licensing models or announcements of competing products by competitors such as Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, Progress, Ascential/IBM, Business Objects, Embarcadero, Informatica, Information Builders or others could result in the cancellation of customer orders in anticipation of the introduction of such new licensing models or products. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products to address customer needs which may limit our ability to sell our products through particular partners. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among, or consolidations of, current and new competitors may emerge and rapidly gain significant market share in our current or anticipated markets. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of software industry consolidation. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. We cannot be certain we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Are Susceptible to a Shift in the Market for Client/Server Applications Toward Web-Based or Hosted Applications

We have derived substantially all of our historical embedded database product revenues from the use of our products in client/server applications. We expect to rely on continued market demand for client/server applications indefinitely. However, we believe market demand may shift from client/server applications to Web-based or hosted applications. If so, this shift could occur before our product line has achieved market acceptance for use in Web-based or hosted applications. In addition, we cannot be certain that our existing client/server developers will migrate to Web-based or hosted applications and continue to use our products or that other developers of Web-based or hosted applications would select our data management products. Further, this shift could result in a change in revenue models from licensing of client/server applications to renting of Web-based or hosted applications from application service providers. A decrease in client/server application sales coupled with an inability to derive revenues from the Web-based or hosted application market could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We Depend on International Sales and Operations

We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will derive a significant portion of our revenues from sources outside North America. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we derived 38% of our revenues outside North America. Our international operations are generally subject to a number of risks. These risks include:

26

Table of Contents

We may expand or modify our operations internationally. Despite our efforts, we may not be able to expand or modify our operations internationally in a timely and cost-effective manner. Such an outcome would limit or eliminate any sales growth internationally, which in turn would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Even if we successfully expand or modify our international operations, we may be unable to maintain or increase international market demand for our products.

We expect our international operations will continue to place financial and administrative demands on us, including operational complexity associated with international facilities, administrative burdens associated with managing relationships with foreign partners, and treasury functions to manage foreign currency risks and collections. In particular, we have begun to develop products in our new Bangalore, India facility. In order to capitalize on the economic opportunity afforded by developing products in this facility, we must successfully execute new business processes and retain key technical personnel in Austin and India. It is also likely that the company will run parallel processes in many areas of its technical operations in order to assure high quality development and a high standard of customer care. While the long term economic impact created by the India operation is expected to be favorable, these parallel processes could increase our costs in the short term.

We Use Third-Party Service Providers in India and If We Are Unable to Use Such Providers Our Business Could Be Temporarily Adversely Affected

We are actively supplementing the capabilities of our organization by contracting with third-party service providers located in India. As other software companies have done and are continuing to do, we may continue to allocate more development and IT resources to Indian third parties, and we may expand our own operational capabilities in India, with the expectation of achieving significant efficiencies, including reducing operational costs and permitting an around-the-clock development cycle. To date, the dispute between India and Pakistan involving the Kashmir region and the incidents of terrorism in India have not adversely affected our operations in India. Should we be unable to conduct operations in India in the future, we believe that our business could be temporarily adversely affected.

Fluctuations in the Relative Value of Foreign Currencies Can Affect Our Business

To date, the majority of our transactions have been denominated in U.S. dollars. The majority of our international operating expenses and substantially all of our sales in Japan have been denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar. Certain of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, especially in Europe. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of countries where we sell products denominated in U.S. dollars will increase the relative cost of our products and could negatively impact our sales in those countries. To the extent our international operations expand or are modified, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations may increase. We have, on occasion, entered into limited hedging transactions to mitigate our exposure to currency fluctuations. Despite these hedging transactions, exchange rate fluctuations have caused, and will continue to cause, currency transaction gains and losses. Although these transactions have not resulted in material gains and losses to date, similar transactions could have a damaging effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition in future periods.

We Must Continue to Hire and Retain Skilled Personnel

Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees on a timely basis, particularly executive management, sales and marketing personnel, software engineers and other senior personnel. Our efforts to attract and retain highly skilled employees could be harmed by our past or any future workforce reductions. Our failure to attract and retain the highly trained technical personnel who are essential to our product development, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue and develop new products or product enhancements. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, we recently announced a number of senior management changes including the replacement of our former President and Chief Executive Officer. Our failure to successfully manage the transition in leadership could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We issue stock options and restricted stock as key components of our overall compensation. There is growing pressure on public companies from shareholders generally and various organizations to reduce the rate at which companies issue stock options and restricted stock to employees, which may make it more difficult to obtain shareholder approval of equity compensation plans when required. In addition, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has adopted changes to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that require us to adopt a different method of determining the compensation expense for our employee stock options and restricted stock beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. In addition, we believe expensing stock options and restricted stock will increase shareholder pressure to limit future grants and could make it more difficult for us to grant stock options and restricted stock to employees in the future. As a result, we may lose top employees to non-public, start-up companies or may generally find it more difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, either of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We Have Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals that a stockholder might consider favorable. It includes provisions to authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock; establish advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations for elections to the Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholders’ meetings; eliminate the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; require super-majority voting to approve certain amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation; limit the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; and provide for a Board of Directors with staggered, three-year terms. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law and our 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan”) may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals.

Further, in October 2000, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan whereby one preferred share purchase right was distributed for each outstanding share of our common stock. The rights are designed to assure that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover

and to guard against partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other tactics designed to gain control without paying all stockholders a fair price. The rights were not being distributed in response to any specific effort to acquire us.

The rights become exercisable if a person or group hereafter acquires 15% or more of our common stock or announces a tender offer for 15% or more of our common stock. Such events, or if we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after a person acquires 15% or more of our common stock, would entitle the right holder to purchase, at an exercise price of $18.00, a number of shares of common stock having a market value at that time of twice the right’s exercise price. Rights held by the acquiring person would become void. The Board of Directors can choose to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time before an acquiring person hereafter acquires 15% or more of the outstanding common stock. The Rights Plan may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or unsolicited acquisition proposals.

We May Elect to Raise Additional Capital Which Might Not Be Available or Which, if Available, May Be on Terms That Are Not Favorable to Us

We may elect to raise additional funds, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we issue equity securities, the ownership percentage of our stockholders would be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we borrow money, we may incur significant interest charges, which could harm our profitability. Holders of debt would also have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

The Price of Our Stock Has Been Volatile and Could Continue to Fluctuate Substantially

Our common stock is traded in the NASDAQ National Market. The market price of our common stock has been volatile and could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors outside of our control, in addition to our financial performance. Furthermore, stock prices for many companies, including our own, fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to operating results.

We May Be Exposed to Potential Risks if We Do Not Have an Effective System of Disclosure Controls or Internal Controls or Fail on an On-going Basis to Properly Address and Implement Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley

We must comply, on an on-going basis, with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), including those provisions that establish the requirements for both management and auditors of public companies with respect to reporting on internal control over financial reporting. These requirements first became applicable to Pervasive on June 30, 2005. The requirements and processes associated with Section 404 are relatively new and untested, and we cannot be certain that the measures we have taken, and will take, will be sufficient or timely completed to meet the Section 404 requirements on an on-going basis, or that we will be able to implement and maintain adequate disclosure controls and controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting, including satisfaction of the requirements of Section 404 of SOX, we may not be able to accurately or timely report on our financial results or adequately identify and reduce fraud. As a result, the financial position of our business could be harmed; current and potential future shareholders could lose confidence in us and/or our reported financial results, which may cause a negative effect on our trading price; and we could be exposed to litigation or regulatory proceedings, which may be costly or divert management attention.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, as of December 31, 2005, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required public disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could materially affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation. However, the Company is currently implementing a new accounting system. We expect that the project will be completed during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year.
