2007 Third Quarter and Full-Year Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its 2007 full-year total revenue guidance last issued on April 25, 2007. Specifically, total revenue for the 2007 year is expected to be in the range of $433 to $437 million. The Company's full-year guidance includes expectations for incremental 2007 second half total revenue contribution from its acquisition of the reseller of approximately $3.5 million, which includes approximately $0.5 million in NLR. The acquisition is expected to be slightly dilutive to GAAP and non-GAAP net income in the 2007 second half of the year. The acquisition has been integrated into Epicor's operations and the Company will not be separately reporting revenues or earnings from this acquisition in any subsequent quarters.

The Company is increasing its 2007 full-year GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance. The Company now expects its 2007 GAAP net income to be in the range of $30 to $31 million, an increase of 26% to 30% over 2006 GAAP net income of $23.8 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the 2007 full-year are now expected to be in the range of $0.88 to $0.89, compared to the Company's earlier guidance of $0.85 to $0.87. 2007 full-year non-GAAP guidance includes the Company's expectations for accretion of approximately $0.03 in the second half of the 2007 year from the Company's convertible note offering in May 2007.

The Company's full-year 2007 non-GAAP net income guidance excludes current expectations for full-year amortization of intangible assets of approximately $11.1 million and full-year stock based compensation expense of approximately $9.5 million, each net of tax. 2007 full-year non-GAAP earnings per share expectations assume a weighted average share count of 58.1 million shares. Expected earnings results presume an effective tax rate of approximately 37.2%, with a cash tax provision of approximately 11% for the 2007 year.

For the 2007 third quarter, the Company expects revenue in the range of $107 to $109 million, which includes expectations for hardware and other revenue of $8 million. NLR revenue for the 2007 third quarter is expected to increase 10% to 13% over 2006 third quarter NLR. Non-GAAP earnings are expected to be $0.22 to $0.23 per diluted share, with GAAP earnings of approximately $0.14 to $0.15 per diluted share. The reseller acquisition is expected to be slightly dilutive to GAAP and non-GAAP net income for the 2007 third quarter.

The Company's 2007 third quarter non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes current expectations for third quarter amortization of intangible assets of approximately $2.9 million and stock based compensation expense of approximately $2.3 million, each net of tax. 2007 third quarter earnings per share expectations assume a weighted average share count of 58.1 million shares.
