The company anticipates license revenues for the quarter to be approximately $12 million, subscription and maintenance revenues to be approximately $31 million, and services and other revenues to be approximately $37 million.

The company anticipates net loss for the quarter to be approximately $8 million to $9 million, or a loss of approximately $0.13 to $0.15 per share.
