In recent years our message has been clear and to the point: Tyler works.
Our products and services – and the professionals who deliver them – work
for our clients. Our success works to provide ongoing opportunities for
our employees. And our strategy – to stay intensely focused on meeting
the technology needs of the public sector – works for our shareholders.
This year our message is about realizing our full potential.
Our market size is estimated at more than $11 billion. Of all the compa-
nies serving the local government IT market, we believe Tyler has both
the largest client base and the broadest product line. Yet our total rev-
enues make up less than 2% of that highly fragmented market.

To our shareholders:
2005 was a year of challenge, momentum and
success for our company. Disappointing
results from our Appraisal and Tax Division
during the first half of the year challenged us
to look inward – leading to an internal restruc-
turing during the second quarter. Growing
acceptance of our Odyssey courts software
created significant momentum for our Courts
and Justice Division – leading to a record
backlog of signed business at year-end. And
continued expansion of our financial suite of
products into new markets led to record rev-
enues for our Financials Division. By tackling
the challenges we faced in early 2005, we
now stand ready to fully capitalize on the
momentum and success shown later in the year,
which should make 2006 our best year ever.
At Tyler, we increasingly consider free cash
flow to be a true measure of our financial per-
formance. With a high level of depreciation
and amortization, declining capital expendi-
ture requirements and complex accounting
rules for software revenue recognition that
often result in deferred revenue, we generate
free cash flow that is considerably greater
than our net income. Despite first half results
that were below expectations, our 2005 free
cash flow was a record $18.5 million (cash pro-
vided by operations of $21.2 million minus
capital expenditures of $2.7 million), a 21%
increase over free cash flow in 2004. And we
expect this trend to continue in the future,
particularly with the recent accounting rule
changes that will require us to recognize non-
cash expense related to stock-based compen-
sation beginning in 2006.
Building on a Strong Base
Building on a Strong Base
As we close 2005 and look to the future, I am
pleased to report that each of our major divi-
sions is healthy and in a strong position to
continue to realize Tyler’s potential in the
local government IT market. Our Financials
Division continues to expand its sales both
horizontally into new geographic markets and
vertically into larger market opportunities,
while at the same time broadening the scope
of its product offerings. In 2005 our Financials
Division had revenues in excess of $100 mil-
lion, a first for Tyler, executing contracts with
major customers such as the Indianapolis
Public Schools and the City of Durham, North
Carolina. We expect further growth from
these market-leading products in 2006, hav-
ing already started the year by signing a
major contract with the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Our Courts and Justice Division is beginning
to reap the benefits from our prior investment
in our Odyssey courts software, which contin-
ues to mature and gain momentum in the
marketplace. In the second half of 2005, we
signed contracts with two of the nation’s ten
largest counties. Already in 2006, we have
signed a contract with the Texas Conference
of Urban Counties, a consortium of 34 large
Texas counties, which includes a license fee
for Odyssey of approximately $12.4 million.
While continuing to target state and larger
county opportunities, we also expect to con-
tinue to expand sales of Odyssey into the mid-
size courts market, which should help provide
a more consistent revenue stream from this
product.
In 2005 we reorganized our Appraisal and Tax
Division, segregating management of apprais-
al services from software. Our new Appraisal
and Tax software product, Orion, was built on
the same Microsoft “best practices” technolo-
gy as Odyssey. We released Orion in late 2004
with the initial installation in the State of
Kansas. Our experience with Odyssey leads us
to believe that Orion will take some time to
build market acceptance and scale to the
point that it is a consistent contributor to
profits. We expect that, as with Odyssey, suc-
cess with Orion will occur over time.
With respect to appraisal services, after
record performance during 2001 – 2003, the
market for appraisal services has returned to
its historical level with annual revenue of
approximately $18 million to $20 million. We
expect appraisal services revenues to remain
at these levels in the foreseeable future. With
this outlook, we reorganized that division to
better align costs with the expected revenue
base, including the elimination of approxi-
mately 120 positions. As a result, our appraisal
services margins improved significantly and
that business returned to profitability in the
second half of 2005. We expect the appraisal
services business to positively contribute to
earnings in the future, providing Tyler with an
incremental, complementary service offering
that differentiates us from our competitors.

Primed for Success
Primed for Success
Tyler enters 2006 with optimism and momen-
tum. We operate in a large and growing mar-
ket – one that is fragmented and without a
dominant competitor. We have a broad line of
products and services local governments
need. We deliver those products and services
through an incredibly strong team with
unmatched domain expertise and lasting cus-
tomer relationships. We have the financial
strength to develop superior products, ensur-
ing that our competitive position constantly
improves. We have the resources and cash
flow to fund growth both internally and
through acquisitions, and a highly leveragable
business model capable of expanding rev-
enues, earnings, and cash flow. We believe
that we have the necessary elements in place
to continue to realize our potential, and by
doing so, reward our shareholders, customers
and employees.
J O H N S . M A R R , J R . , P R E S I D E N T & C E O
Tyler’s free cash flow is very strong, and we
will continue to reinvest our cash in ways we
believe will maximize shareholders’ invest-
ment in Tyler. First, our software business,
which generates revenues from software
licenses, software services and maintenance,
has grown over the last five years at a com-
pound growth rate of 17% -- well above the
overall market rate. As we continue to grow,
we will continue to invest in our software
products to keep them competitive so that we
may sustain this growth over the long-term.
Today we have over 350 developers working
to enhance our software by adding new fea-
tures and functionality and incorporating new
technologies, with virtually all of those costs
being expensed.
Second, we will selectively use cash to add
growth through acquisitions. In January 2006,
we acquired MazikUSA, Inc. and TACS, Inc., two
companies that give us new software products
for the local government market that we did
not previously offer. MazikUSA provides us
with a line of school management software
that complements the existing financial prod-
ucts we sell to school districts across the
nation. TACS adds pension administration soft-
ware products to our robust financial offering.
Finally, we will at times invest our cash in
Tyler through stock repurchases. In 2005, we
repurchased 2.5 million shares of our common
stock at an average cost of $7.19 per share.
Since 2003, we have repurchased a total of 10
million shares of our stock.

Real questions
Is there significant market potential
for our products and services?
While Tyler’s financial results in 2005 did not
meet our expectations, Tyler’s performance in
the second half of the year demonstrates we
have a solid foundation on which to build. We
finished the year with our 19th consecutive
profitable quarter and our free cash flow is sig-
nificantly greater than our net income. Tyler’s
management strength and deep domain
expertise derive from entrepreneurial passion
and our commitment to exceptional client serv-
ice. In 2005 we again made progress in stream-
lining the company. We integrated our sales
forces to more efficiently address the growing
market opportunity. And we reorganized our
appraisal services business to align its organi-
zation and cost structure with the revenue
base while maintaining superior client service.
This year we also committed significant
resources to product development, although
much less of our product development costs
was capitalized than in recent years. While
we’re known for the solid functionality of our
products, we’re working with exciting new tech-
nology and cutting edge development tools.
This allows us to both update and improve our
existing proven products and expand our prod-
uct base. With the progress we’ve made, we’re
ready to take our clients to the next level with
their mission-critical systems.
There are four key questions our constituents
regularly ask:
Are we in a stable market that can
survive changing market conditions?
Do we have the right strategy
to grow our market share?
Do we have a competitive advantage
that is clear to our clients
and potential clients?
Our answer is a confident yes to each.
We believe with this foundation we have the strength
to reach the enormous potential before us.
REALizingPOTENTIAL
Does the market need our products and servic-
es? One of the most dramatic examples of the
market’s need for our products and services is
conveyed by this graphic excerpt in a letter
from our client at the City of Biloxi, Mississippi
following Hurricane Katrina this past year:
“...in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Tyler’s MUNIS
disaster recovery service proved its worth to the City.
With virtually all forms of communication shut down by the storm, when I
was able to contact Tyler via cell phone I found the team had already re-
constituted the Biloxi MUNIS database on their servers. They had anticipat-
ed that Biloxi would need to use the disaster recovery service.
During this time, everyone at Tyler showed genuine concern for our com-
munity. All requests were handled professionally and quickly. The MUNIS
disaster recovery team provided the service that the City hoped for when
the plan was implemented. City of Biloxi officials
and employees wish to express our gratitude to
everyone on the MUNIS team for their support,
prayers and professional service during the weeks
after the hurricane.”
Sincerely,
Tom Reno, Database Manager
City of Biloxi Information Systems

The fact is the services provided to the public
sector, especially in the wake of a disaster,
must continue uninterrupted. The products
and services provided by Tyler Technologies
do just that – they allow cities, schools and
counties to operate seamlessly, efficiently, and
cost effectively for their citizens – however
challenging the conditions.
In addition to providing products and services
for our clients’ essential operations, the
potential to improve their operations is clear.
Along with our invaluable disaster recovery
solutions, we now have more than 50 clients
who subscribe to our ASP hosting solution,
which reduces costly overhead and allows
client personnel to focus on the business of
running their governments. And in Clark
County (Las Vegas), Nevada, we’re implement-
ing Tyler’s Odyssey case management soft-
ware, replacing four separate outdated court
systems with one state-of-the-art solution.

Is our market a stable and growing market?
Tyler Technologies has a single focus: the pub-
lic sector and specifically, local governments.
Why is this a good market? Because our prod-
ucts and services are essential to the basic
functions of our clients’ operations, regardless
of market conditions.
As the nation’s population continues to grow,
citizens’ needs for services from their govern-
ments grow. Cities, counties, school districts
and other local authorities have a multitude of
expanding responsibilities that must be met.
More homes to be assessed and taxed, more
cases to be tried in the courts, more students
to be educated in the schools. In good and
bad economic times, these services must be
delivered consistently and efficiently. Further,
citizens increasingly demand that the local
government services they pay for are cost
effective and easy to access.
Tyler is committed to providing products and
services that deliver results and a strong
return on our clients’ investments. Our prod-
ucts emphasize functionality. And we continu-
ally explore and develop new technologies
that enable our products to work more effi-
ciently. Our proven ability to deliver on time
and on budget helps assure our clients that
our system implementations will be success-
ful. And that they represent an outstanding
long-term value.
Real growth strategy
Tyler’s growth strategy is proving successful
and will allow us to continue to capture mar-
ket share and grow revenues, cash flow and
earnings.

Geographic expansion
New products
We continue to successfully expand the geo-
graphic reach of our products. With both
existing and new sales resources we are
actively marketing our products in areas of
the country where we previously had little or
no presence. This expansion builds on the stel-
lar long-term, referenceable customer rela-
tionships in our established regions. Virtually
all our products are now offered nationwide.
For example, our courts and justice product
has expanded from a presence in just two
states, Texas and Georgia, to new installations
We are broadening our product line for local
governments, through both acquisition and
internal development. We acquired MazikUSA,
Inc., in January 2006 and can now offer a
school management system to manage appli-
cations such as grades, attendance and sched-
uling in K-12 schools. Our new product comple-
ments the financial, human resources and
payroll software we’ve already been providing
to school systems, including all schools in the
state of Kentucky, the Indianapolis public
schools and the San Jose, California schools.
We also acquired TACS, Inc., which gives us a
new software product for local government
pension administration.
In addition to acquisitions we have expanded
our product lines through our own in-house
development. For example, we developed new
solutions for computer-aided dispatch, police
records management and other applications
in the area of public safety. Our new public
safety products are now used by over 70
agencies nationwide, including police depart-
ments in Brownwood, Texas and Lynn Haven,
Florida.

In 2005 Tyler Technologies signed 18 con-
tracts valued at more than one million dollars
each. Those large contracts include a $10 mil-
lion property assessment system for the state
of New Jersey and Odyssey court case man-
agement systems for two of the nation’s ten
largest counties. These demonstrate our grow-
ing potential to serve larger clients. We are
not reducing our commitment to the small
and mid-sized entities that make up the vast
majority of local governments, but our con-
tract size continues to grow with more “Tier 1”
clients. Larger jurisdictions are recognizing
the power of the significant resources we
have devoted exclusively to software develop-
ment for local governments. We offer
the technology, scalability and financial
strength they expect.
Tyler’s larger implementations are completed
on budget and run as smoothly as those for
our thousands of small and mid-size govern-
ment projects. Clients understand that the
unmatched domain expertise incorporated
into each of our products leads to faster, more
predictable implementations while eliminating
the need for custom solutions that are diffi-
cult to maintain.
In our markets word of our performance trav-
els fast.
Building on our customer base
Our systems are installed in over 6,000 local
government offices throughout all 50 states,
Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Tyler has, we believe, the largest installed cus-
tomer base in the local government market.
Our high level of customer satisfaction is evi-
denced by our outstanding retention rate –
more than 98% of our clients renew their
annual maintenance and support agreements
each year.
Our clients provide a stable base of recurring
revenues while also presenting major growth
opportunities. Over time, we expect to expand
our existing relationships when clients replace
other software applications with additional
Tyler products.

Are Tyler’s competitive advantages clear?
One of Tyler’s most valuable attributes is our
deep domain experience. There is no substi-
tute for 25 plus years of successfully serving
the same type of clients. We keep doing what-
ever it takes to get better and better at what
we do, with a singular focus on local govern-
ments. And we continue to anticipate the
changing needs of our clients in product devel-
opment. Our research and development re-
sources are spent on making technology work
better for local governments. Since we already
understand their needs and requirements, we
are a step ahead of competitors whose resources
are spread across many vertical markets.

Tyler signs $4.1 million contract to provide Odyssey Case
Management software to Miami-Dade County, FL.
12.19.05
Province of Nova Scotia, Canada signs $3.1 million con-
tract for property assessment software.
Another Tyler advantage is that we take full
responsibility for our projects – development,
implementation, training, consulting and sup-
port. Our products and services are predomi-
nantly delivered by our own professional staff.
The fact that Tyler can provide a predictable,
turnkey solution is invaluable – particularly in
the public sector where officials must manage
public funds wisely. They can’t afford the all
too typical cost overruns and delays associat-
ed with many of the large software providers.
Over time, the re-licensing of software with
version upgrades is a significant cost to users.
For many of our products Tyler eliminates this
cost and disruptions to our clients by provid-

ing version upgrades in our support agree-
ments. Many clients have been with us for
more than 20 years, through multiple soft-
ware versions, under the original licensing
agreement. Our customers view Tyler soft-
ware as an investment that will not become
obsolete, but will continue to improve and
evolve over time. The ability to stay on an up-
to-date system is an added value that results
in the long-term relationships and lasting
client loyalty we enjoy.
Tyler’s capability and capacity for growth --
our potential -- is real. We serve the essential
needs of a stable and growing market. Our
growth strategy of geographic expansion,
new products and larger implementations
while building on our existing client base is
working. Our competitive advantages are
clear. Our operations and customer care are
exceptional. Our free cash flow was a record
high in 2005. And we have reported 19 con-
secutive profitable quarters. All the funda-
mentals are in place for Tyler to continue
realizing our potential at an even faster rate.

(2) Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under the
standard, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized but are instead tested for impairment at least annually. In accor-
dance with the standard, results of operations for years prior to 2002 are reported under the previous accounting standards for goodwill and intangible assets.
Amortization expense net of income taxes, related to goodwill (including assembled workforce subsumed into goodwill) no longer expensed under the standard
was $2,960 in 2001.
(3) On March 25, 2003, we received cash proceeds of $39.3 million in connection with a transaction to sell all of our 5.6 million shares of H.T.E., Inc. (“HTE”) common
stock to SunGard Data Systems Inc. for $7.00 cash per share. Our original cost basis in the HTE shares was $15.8 million. After transaction and other costs, we
recorded a gross realized gain of $23.2 million ($16.2 million or $0.36 per diluted share after income taxes of $7.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Overview
We provide integrated information management solutions and services for local governments. We develop and market a broad line of software products and services
to address the information technology (“IT”) needs of cities, counties, schools and other local government entities. In addition, we provide professional IT services to
our customers, including software and hardware installation, data conversion, training and for certain customers, product modifications, along with continuing main-
tenance and support for customers using our systems. We also provide property appraisal outsourcing services for taxing jurisdictions.
Our products are generally grouped into four major areas:
• Financials;
• Courts and Justice;
• Property Appraisal and Tax; and
• Document Management.
We monitor and analyze several key performance indicators in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance. These indica-
tors include the following:
Revenues. We derive our revenues from four primary sources: sale of software licenses; software services; appraisal services; and maintenance and support.
Because we sell primarily “off-the-shelf” software, increased sales of software products generally result in incrementally higher gross margins. Thus, the most signif-
icant driver to our business is the number and size of software license sales. In addition, new software license sales generally generate implementation services rev-
enues as well as future maintenance and support revenues, which we view as a recurring revenue source. We also monitor our customer base and churn since our
maintenance and support revenue should increase due to our historically low customer turnover.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins. Our primary cost component is personnel expenses in connection with providing software implementation and appraisal serv-
ices to our customers. We can improve gross margins by controlling headcount and related costs and by expanding our revenue base, especially from those products
and services that produce incremental revenue with minimal incremental cost, such as software licenses and maintenance and support. Our appraisal projects are
seasonal in nature, and we often employ appraisal personnel on a short-term basis to coincide with the life of a project.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. The primary components of SG&A expense are administrative and sales personnel salaries and commis-
sions, marketing expense, research and development costs, rent and professional fees. Sales commissions generally fluctuate with revenues but other administrative
expenses tend to grow at a slower rate than revenues; however, these costs have recently grown disproportionately because of the requirements of corporate gover-
nance legislation. Research and development costs fluctuate from year-to-year depending on product development activity.
Liquidity and Cash Flows. The primary driver of our cash flows is net income. In addition, 2003 cash flow was positively impacted when we sold our investment in
H.T.E., Inc. and received $39.3 million in cash proceeds. Uses of cash include capital investments in software development and property and equipment and the dis-
cretionary purchases of treasury stock. In 2005, we purchased 2.5 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cash purchase price of $17.7 million. Our
working capital needs are fairly stable throughout the year with the significant components of cash outflows being payment of personnel expenses offset by cash
inflows representing collection of accounts receivable and cash receipts from customers in advance of revenue being earned.
Balance Sheet. Cash, accounts receivable and days sales outstanding and deferred revenue balances are important indicators of our business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accor-
dance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues, cost of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included as part
of this Annual Report describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evalu-
ate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to intangible assets, bad debts and our service contracts. We base our estimates on historical experi-
ence and on various other assumptions that we believe 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assump-
tions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
20
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amend-
ed by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and in accor-
dance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition.” We recognize revenue on our appraisal services con-
tracts using the proportionate performance method of accounting, with considerations for the provisions of Emerging Issue Task Force No. 00-21, “Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Our revenues are derived from sale of software licenses, appraisal services, maintenance and support, and services that
typically range from installation, training and basic consulting to software modification and customization to meet specific customer needs. For multiple element
software arrangements, which do not entail the performance of services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we generally record rev-
enue when the delivered products or performed services result in a legally enforceable and non-refundable claim. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts and
sales adjustments, which are provided at the time the revenue is recognized. Because most of our customers are governmental entities, we rarely incur a loss result-
ing from the inability of a customer to make required payments. In a limited number of cases, we encounter a customer who is dissatisfied with some aspect of the
software product or our service, and we may offer a “concession” to such customer. In those limited situations where we grant a concession, we rarely reduce the
contract arrangement fee, but alternatively may perform additional services, such as additional training or programming a minor feature the customer had in their
prior software solution. These amounts have historically been considered nominal. In connection with our customer contracts and the adequacy of related
allowances and measures of progress towards contract completion, our project managers are charged with the responsibility to continually review the status of each
customer on a specific contract basis. Also, management at our corporate offices as well as at our operating companies review, on at least a quarterly basis, signifi-
cant past due accounts receivable and the adequacy of related reserves. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount for the
allowances for doubtful accounts and sales adjustments may require revision, include, but are not limited to, deterioration of a customer’s financial condition, failure
to manage our customer’s expectations regarding the scope of the services to be delivered, and defects or errors in new versions or enhancements of our software
products.
For those software arrangements that include customization of the software, which is considered essential to its functionality, and for substantially all real estate
appraisal outsourcing projects, we recognize revenue and profit as the work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method and the proportionate perform-
ance method of revenue recognition. These methods rely on estimates of total expected contract revenue, billings and collections and expected contract costs, as
well as measures of progress toward completion. We believe reasonably dependable estimates of revenue and costs and progress applicable to various stages of a
contract can be made. At times, we perform additional and/or non-contractual services for little to no incremental fee to satisfy customer expectations. If changes
occur in delivery, productivity or other factors used in developing our estimates of expected costs or revenues, we revise our cost and revenue estimates, and any
revisions are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to that revision first become known.
We use contract accounting, primarily the percentage-of-completion method, for those software arrangements that include customization or modification of the
software, or where our software services are otherwise considered essential to the functionality of the software. In addition, we recognize revenue using the propor-
tionate performance method of revenue recognition for our property appraisal projects, some of which can range up to three years. In connection with these and
certain other contracts, we may perform the work prior to when the services are billable and/or payable pursuant to the contract. The termination clauses in most
of our contracts provide for the payment for the fair value of products delivered and services performed in the event of an early termination. In connection with cer-
21
M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S O F F I N A N C I A L C O N D I T I O N A N D R E S U L T S O F O P E R A T I O N S ( C O N T I N U E D )
tain of our contracts, we have recorded retentions receivable or unbilled receivables consisting of costs and estimated profit in excess of billings as of the balance
sheet date. Many of the contracts which give rise to unbilled receivables at a given balance sheet date are subject to billings in the subsequent accounting period.
Management reviews unbilled receivables and related contract provisions to ensure we are justified in recognizing revenue prior to billing the customer and that we
have objective evidence which allows us to recognize such revenue. In addition, we have a sizable amount of deferred revenue which represents billings in excess of
revenue earned. This liability primarily consists of maintenance billings in which payments are made in advance and the revenue is ratably earned over the mainte-
nance period, generally one year. We also have deferred revenue for those contracts in which we receive a deposit and the conditions in which to record revenue for
the service or product has not been met. On a periodic basis, we review by customer the detail components of our deferred revenue to ensure our accounting
remains appropriate.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Our business acquisitions typically result in the creation of goodwill and other intangible asset balances, and these balances affect
the amount and timing of future period amortization expense, as well as expense we could possibly incur as a result of an impairment charge. The cost of acquired
companies is allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets based on estimated fair value, with the excess allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, we have a sig-
nificant balance of acquisition date intangible assets, including software, customer related intangibles, trade name and goodwill. In addition, we capitalize software
development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Certain of these intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful
lives. All intangible assets with definite and indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of goodwill is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its fair
value, generally determined by estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of other intangible assets is generally meas-
ured by comparison of the carrying amount to estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The assessment of recoverability or of the estimated useful life for amorti-
zation purposes will be affected if the timing or the amount of estimated future operating cash flows is not achieved. Events or changes in circumstances that indi-
cate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the market value of the business or asset acquired, a sig-
nificant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the business or asset acquired is used, or a significant adverse change in the business climate. In addition,
products, capabilities, or technologies developed by others may render our software products obsolete or non-competitive.

Software licenses. Changes in software license revenues consist of the following components:
• Software license revenue related to financial products, which comprise approximately 80% of our software license revenues in the years presented, increased
slightly compared to the prior year primarily due to third party software products which enhance the functionality of our proprietary software. Our financial
software products automate accounting systems for cities, counties, school districts, public utilities and not-for-profit organizations.
• Software license revenue related to our Odyssey courts and justice product declined in 2005 compared to 2004. The prior year was unusually high because it
included approximately $900,000 of license fees earned upon final acceptance for two original Odyssey installation sites. In 2005 we had fifteen Odyssey
contracts in process compared to seven Odyssey contracts in 2004. The implementation cycle for Odyssey products ranges from nine to thirty-six months
depending on the scope of the contract and modification complexity. We have recognized revenue on these contracts using contract accounting.
Software services. Changes in software services revenues consist of the following components:
• Software services revenue related to financial products, which comprise more than half of our software service revenue in the years presented, increased moder-
23
M A N A G E M E N T ’ S D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S O F F I N A N C I A L C O N D I T I O N A N D R E S U L T S O F O P E R A T I O N S ( C O N T I N U E D )
ately in 2005 compared to the prior year. Typically, software contracts include services such as installing the software, converting the customers’ data to be com-
patible with the software and training customer personnel to use the software. Approximately one-half of our financial software services revenue increase related
to training and the remaining increases were due to new customers for our application service provider hosting and disaster recovery services and other miscella-
neous services. We increased our training staff in 2005 which enabled us to deliver our backlog at a faster rate.
• Software services revenue related to our Odyssey courts and justice product increased significantly in 2005 compared to the prior year mainly due to a new $1.4
million contract for follow-on services to an existing customer that had previously implemented and accepted the software.
• Software services revenue related to appraisal and tax products declined substantially in 2005. This decline was mainly associated with the completion of several
legacy appraisal and tax contracts in 2004 and early 2005.
Maintenance. We provide maintenance and support services for our software products and third party software. Maintenance revenues increased due to growth in
our installed customer base as evidenced by our software license revenue and slightly higher maintenance rates on certain product lines.
Appraisal services. The decrease in appraisal services revenues is due to the completion in 2004 of certain significant appraisal contracts. These larger projects
are often relatively discretionary in nature compared to smaller projects which tend to occur on a more consistent basis, and the larger projects we recently com-
pleted have not been replaced by similar projects. The appraisal services business is driven in part by revaluation cycles in various states and based on our new
business pipeline, we expect that appraisal services revenues in the foreseeable future will remain at historically low levels consistent with 2005.

Cost of software license revenues. The main component of our cost of software license revenues is amortization expense for capitalized development costs on cer-
tain software products, with third party software costs making up the balance. Once a new product is released, we begin to amortize the costs associated with its
development. Amortization expense is determined on a product-by-product basis at an annual rate not less than straight-line basis over the product’s estimated life,
but not to exceed five years. Development costs consist mainly of personnel costs, such as salary and benefits paid to our developers. Amortization expense for cap-
italized software products declined from $6.1 million in 2004 to $5.9 million in 2005, because certain software products became fully amortized during 2005, which
offset new amortization expense from software products released in 2004.
Cost of acquired software. When we complete an acquisition we allocate the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired to amortiz-
able software, customer and trade name intangibles, with the remainder allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. Amortization expense of acquired
software is recorded as cost of revenues while amortization expense of other acquisition intangibles is recorded as amortization of customer and trade name intan-
gibles. In 2005 cost of acquired software declined compared to the prior year because certain acquired software assets recorded for previous acquisitions became
fully amortized. The estimated useful life of acquired software ranges from 3 to 5 years. Estimated annual amortization expense relating to acquired software,
excluding acquisitions completed in 2006, for the next five years is as follows (in thousands):

We have not finalized the allocation of the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets for the companies acquired in January 2006, but
expect this allocation will significantly increase related amortization expense over the next five years.
Cost of software services and maintenance revenues. Cost of software services and maintenance revenues primarily consists of expenses such as personnel costs
related to installation of our software products, conversion of customer data, training customer personnel, support activities and various other services such as
application service provider (“ASP”) and disaster recovery. In 2005 cost of software services and maintenance grew 11% while the related software services and
maintenance revenues increased 8% compared to the prior year period. During 2005, costs increased at a faster rate than related software services and mainte-
nance revenues, which reflects lower utilization of personnel in our appraisal and tax software division, costs to support our recently released Orion products, a shift
in the roles of certain of our development personnel whose costs were capitalized in 2004 to projects that were expensed in 2005, and higher health care costs.
Cost of appraisal services revenues. The decline in the cost of appraisal services revenues is the result of lower appraisal services revenues. We often hire tempo-
rary employees to assist in appraisal projects whose term of employment generally ends with the projects’ completion. In addition, in the second quarter of 2005 we
made significant organizational changes to our appraisal services division because of the declining gross margins. See “Restructuring Charge.”
Gross margin. The overall gross margin for 2005 was 36% compared to 37% in 2004. The margin decline was due to cost inefficiencies associated with lower
appraisal services revenues and efforts and costs to support our recently released Orion products, as well as a shift in the roles of certain of our development per-
sonnel whose costs were capitalized in 2004 to projects that are being expensed in 2005 and higher health care costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher health care costs and an increase in the number of marketing personnel. These increas-
es were offset somewhat by lower consulting fees associated with documenting our internal control processes.
Restructuring Charge
Because of unsatisfactory financial performance early in 2005, we made significant organizational changes to those areas of our business that were not performing
to our expectations. Our goal was to bring costs in line with expected levels of revenue while improving the efficiency of our organizational structure to ensure that
clients continue to receive superior service.
We currently anticipate that revenues in our appraisal services business are likely to remain at historically low levels in the foreseeable future, consistent with 2005
and have reorganized that division to eliminate levels of management and reduce overhead expense. We have also taken action to reduce headcount and costs in
our appraisal and tax software division. These cost reductions were made in the second quarter of 2005. As a result, we reduced headcount in the appraisal services
and appraisal and tax software businesses, as well as in the corporate office, by eliminating approximately 120 positions, including management, staff and project-
related personnel. Additionally we have made changes in both management personnel and organizational structures at those business units and have reorganized
our corporate structure to consolidate certain senior management positions.
In connection with the reorganization, we incurred certain charges in the second quarter of 2005. Those charges, which were primarily comprised of employee sev-
erance costs and related fringe benefits, totaled approximately $1.3 million before income taxes. The related payments were made during the second and third quar-
ter in 2005.
Amortization of Customer and Trade Name Intangibles
Acquisition intangibles are composed of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired that is allocated to acquired and amorti-
zable software, customer and trade name intangibles with the remainder allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. However, amortization expense
related to acquired software is included with cost of revenues while amortization expense of customer and trade name intangibles is recorded as a non-operating
26
expense. The estimated useful lives of customer and trade name intangibles are 20 to 25 years and 5 to 25 years, respectively. The following table sets forth a com-
parison of amortization of customer and trade name intangibles for the following years ended December 31:

Interest income is the main component of other income, which also includes non-usage and other fees associated with our credit agreement, gain on sale of certain
assets, gain on risk management assets associated with a foreign exchange contract and miscellaneous other items. Other income increased compared to 2004
mainly due to higher interest rates and a small gain on sale of certain assets.

Software licenses. For the year ended December 31, 2004, software license revenues included $3.5 million related to Eden Systems, compared to $100,000 for the
same prior year period. Excluding the software license revenue related to Eden, the increase in software license revenues from 2003 to 2004 was approximately
$900,000 or 3%. The change was the result of the following factors:
• Financials software license revenues, which comprise approximately two-thirds of our software license revenues in the years presented (excluding Eden),
increased $4.9 million due to a combination of geographic expansion on the west coast and in the southwest United States, and an increase in our implementation
staff, which has allowed us to install software products more quickly. In addition, the completion in March 2004 of software enhancements to one of our financial
software products has enabled us to expand into larger cities and counties, resulting in larger contracts.
• Courts and justice software license revenues decreased $3.5 million compared to the prior year with approximately $1.4 million of the decline due to lower rev-
enues from Odyssey courts and justice product. In September 2003, we successfully installed the first phase of Odyssey in the State of Minnesota and Lee County,
Florida. The contract with the State of Minnesota was the largest software contract in our history, and we recorded $3.4 million of software license revenue in
2003 for both Minnesota and Lee County. In 2004, we had seven Odyssey contracts in process, several of which began late in the year. We recognized revenue on
these contracts using contract accounting and recorded approximately $2.0 million of revenue for Odyssey contracts in 2004. The remaining decline reflects lower
sales of our legacy courts and justice products.
Software services. Software services revenues increased $4.9 million, or 13%, compared to the prior year period after excluding the increase in software services
revenues generated by Eden of $7.7 million. Higher software services revenues were attributable to the following factors:
28
• Excluding Eden, software services revenues from our financials products comprised almost half of our software service revenue in the years presented and were
$2.5 million, or 14%, higher in 2004, primarily as a result of the increase in related software licenses sales over the prior year. Increased staffing levels also
allowed for faster implementation of our backlog. In addition, we expanded our ASP and disaster recovery markets, which contributed approximately $750,000 to
the increase in 2004.
• Software services revenues related to appraisal and tax software products for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $1.6 million higher than the prior year.
Sales of Orion, our new appraisal and tax product generated approximately $1.4 million of the increase.
•
In 2004, our document management division entered into a $1.9 million contract to convert data into a microfilm format, which generated a $675,000 increase in
software services revenue over the prior year.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 included $4.1 million from Eden, compared to $300,000 for the same prior year period.
Excluding the impact of Eden, maintenance revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 increased approximately 15% compared to 2003 due to growth in
our installed customer base and slightly higher maintenance rates on certain product lines.
Appraisal services. The decrease in appraisal services revenues is due to the completion of certain significant appraisal contracts, particularly the completion of our
contract with Lake County, Indiana in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Cost of software license revenues. The increase is related to the general release of several software development products and the commencement of the related
amortization expense. Product releases in 2004 include Orion appraisal and tax products and an enhancement to one of our financial products. Amortization
expense for 2004 also includes a full year of expense related to the Odyssey courts and justice product versus only four months in 2003.
Cost of acquired software. In 2004 cost of acquired software declined compared to 2003 because certain acquired software assets recorded for previous acquisi-
tions became fully amortized beginning mid 2003 and throughout 2004. This decline was offset somewhat by the amortization expense for acquisition software
recorded for the acquisition of Eden in December 2003.
Cost of software services and maintenance revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2004, Eden contributed cost of software services and maintenance rev-
enues of $7.9 million, compared to $500,000 in the prior year. Excluding Eden, cost of software services and maintenance revenues increased $8.3 million, or 15%,
during 2004. In 2004 we added additional staff to provide faster implementation of our backlog. Excluding Eden, software services and maintenance revenues
increased 14% for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 2003. Cost of software services and maintenance revenues increased more than the associated
revenues due to the time required to train and orient additional personnel hired during 2004 before they can effectively perform revenue-generating tasks, such as
training and implementations. In addition, expenses increased as the costs related to certain employees who previously worked on new software development prod-
ucts ceased to be capitalized as those projects were completed and these employees moved into implementation and support functions.
Cost of appraisal services revenues. The decline in the cost of appraisal services revenues is consistent with lower appraisal services revenues. In 2004, appraisal
revenues declined at a faster rate than cost of appraisal revenues due to the use of subcontractors to supplement our appraisal staff on some of our larger con-
tracts during 2004, resulting in lower margins. The nature and timing of these contracts required us to retain staff on either short notice or with specific qualifica-
tions, thus increasing the associated costs as a percentage of appraisal revenues.
Gross margin. Excluding the results of Eden, our gross margin for 2004 was 37% compared to 38% in the prior year. The decline in gross margin from the prior year
period was due to the following factors:
• Higher amortization costs of our software development products released from mid-year 2003 through 2004; and
• The utilization of sub-contractors by our property appraisal and tax and document management divisions during 2004.

SG&A associated with Eden amounted to $4.4 million in 2004 compared to $350,000 in 2003. Excluding Eden, SG&A increased 8% year-over-year. The increase in
SG&A is a result of the following factors:
• Costs to comply with corporate governance and public disclosure requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and New York Stock Exchange rules, including
those associated with documenting and testing internal controls. Compliance costs were very high and significantly exceeded our original estimates. These costs
consisted of the engagement of a third party firm to consult with us on the development and testing of our controls, as well as the incremental costs associated
with the independent auditors attesting to the effectiveness of these controls. While some of the expenses we incurred in 2004 may be considered “one-time”
costs, it is clear that the new regulatory environment places an expensive burden on companies that will continue into the future;
•
Increased headcount in our sales and marketing areas to support geographic expansion;
• Higher commissions related to higher revenue levels; and
• Higher research and development costs.
Amortization of Customer and Trade Name Intangibles
Amortization of customer and trade name intangibles increased in 2004 because it included a full year of amortization expense related to the December 2003 acqui-
sition of Eden.
Realized Gain on Sale of Investment in H.T.E., Inc.
On March 25, 2003, we received cash proceeds of $39.3 million in connection with a transaction to sell all of our 5.6 million shares of H.T.E., Inc. (“HTE”) common
stock to SunGard Data Systems Inc. for $7.00 cash per share. Our original cost basis in the HTE shares was $15.8 million. After transaction and other costs, we
recorded a gross realized gain of $23.2 million ($16.2 million or $0.36 per diluted share after income taxes of $7.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the utiliza-
tion of the capital loss carryforward in 2003, increased state income taxes and non-deductible meals and entertainment costs.
The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes income tax expense of $7.0 million relating to the realized gain from the sale of our invest-
ment in HTE (after reduction in valuation allowance related to the utilization of a capital loss carryforward amounting to $1.1 million on a tax-effected basis). For
2003, we had an effective income tax rate of 38% (excluding the effect of the HTE gain) compared to 42% in 2004. The majority of the increase was due to higher
state income taxes because in 2004 we had more sales and profitability in highly taxed states than in the prior year.
Discontinued Operations
One of our non-operating subsidiaries, Swan Transportation Company (“Swan”), had been involved in various claims raised by former employees of a foundry that
was owned by an affiliate of Swan and Tyler prior to December 1995. These claims were for alleged work-related injuries and physical conditions resulting from
alleged exposure to silica, asbestos, and/or related industrial dusts. After a series of bankruptcy court filings involving Swan, on December 23, 2003, Tyler in accor-
dance with the terms of the plan of reorganization, transferred the stock of Swan to the Swan Asbestos and Silica Trust (the “Trust”), an unaffiliated entity that will
oversee the processing and payment of all present and future claims related to the foundry. On December 23, 2003, we paid $1.48 million to the Trust in full and
final release from all liability for claims associated with the once-owned foundry (the “Swan Matter”). As a result of the release, any claimant is barred from assert-
ing any such claim, either now or in the future, against Tyler or its affected affiliates. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the gain on disposal of discontin-
ued operations of $424,000 primarily resulted because we fully settled the Swan Matter at an amount less than initially recorded and certain aspects of the settle-
ment were structured in a beneficial tax manner. Accordingly, we recognized for the first time certain tax benefits associated with payments on behalf of the Swan
Matter.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Historically, we have funded our operations and cash expenditures primarily with cash generated from operating activities. As of December 31, 2005, our balance in
cash and cash equivalents was $20.7 million and we had short-term investments of $11.7 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $12.6 million and short-
term investments of $13.8 million at December 31, 2004. Cash provided by operating activities was $21.2 million compared to cash provided by operating activities
of $22.2 million in 2004 and $22.5 million in 2003. Cash and short-term investments increased primarily due to continued strong operating performance and higher
deferred revenue due to additional maintenance customers and new contract signings.
At December 31, 2005, our days sales outstanding (“DSOs”) were 101 days compared to DSOs of 89 days at December 31, 2004. The increase in DSOs is due prima-
rily to timing of billings. DSOs are calculated based on accounts receivable (excluding long-term receivables) divided by the quotient of annualized quarterly rev-
enues divided by 360 days.
Investing activities provided cash of $1.8 million in 2005 compared to a use of cash of $9.9 million in 2004 and $590,000 in 2003. In 2005 we significantly reduced
our capitalized investments in software development and property and equipment and liquidated some short term investments and reinvested the proceeds in cash
equivalents. The cash used in investing activities in 2004 was comprised of investments in software development costs and property and equipment, short-term
bond funds and additional purchase price payments related to the Eden acquisition. Investing activities in 2003 included $39.3 million of gross proceeds on the sale
of our investment in H.T.E., Inc. which was offset by the investment of such proceeds in short-term bond funds, software development costs, property and equipment
and the acquisition of Eden.

During 2005, we made capital expenditures of $2.7 million, including $1.7 million for computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and expansions related to internal
growth. The other expenditures related to software development costs. Capital expenditures were funded from cash generated from operations.
Proceeds from sales of short-term investments were $19.0 million during 2005. During 2005, the short-term investments earned interest income of $290,000 which
was reinvested. We also earned interest income of $450,000 from money market investments and interest income of $170,000 from an investment in a restricted
certificate of deposit.
Pursuant to our purchase agreement with Eden, two of the shareholders of Eden were granted the right to “put” their remaining shares to Tyler and we were also
granted the right to “call” the remaining shares. In 2004, we purchased the remaining 2,500 shares for $725,000 in cash.
Financing activities used cash of $14.8 million in 2005 compared to $9.9 million in 2004 and $25.4 million in 2003. Cash used in financing activities was primarily
comprised of purchases of treasury shares, net of proceeds from stock option exercises. Financing activities in 2003 included the purchase of approximately 6.0 mil-
lion shares of our common stock through our modified Dutch Auction tender offer and purchases on the open market for $24.1 million.
During 2005, we purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of $17.7 million.
In 2005, we received $1.8 million from the exercise of options to purchase approximately 436,000 shares of our common stock under our employee stock option
plan. During 2004 we issued 680,000 shares of common stock and received $1.9 million in aggregate proceeds, upon exercise of stock options and during 2003 we
issued 554,000 shares of common stock and received $1.7 million in aggregate proceeds upon exercise of stock options.
During 2005, we received $1.0 million for contributions to the Tyler Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“the ESPP”), which was adopted by our share-
holders in May 2004.
Subsequent to December 31, 2005 and through February 27, 2006 we purchased approximately 250,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate cash pur-
chase price of $2.2 million.
On February 11, 2005, we entered into a revolving bank credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures February 11, 2008 and provides for total
borrowings of up to $30.0 million and a $10.0 million Letter of Credit facility under which the banks will issue cash collateralized letters of credit. As of December 31,
2005, our effective interest rate was 5.9% under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2005 we had no debt and outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.1 million to
secure surety bonds required by some of our customer contracts. As of February 27, 2006, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.
In January 2006, we acquired two companies, MazikUSA, Inc. and TACS, Inc. The combined purchase price for the two companies was approximately $14.2 million,
comprised of approximately $11.3 million cash and 325,000 shares of Tyler common stock. We have not finalized the allocation of the excess purchase price over the
34
fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired companies but expect this allocation will result in non-cash charges that will have a small dilutive effect on
earnings per share in 2006.
Excluding acquisitions, we anticipate that 2006 capital spending will be between $3.5 million and $4.0 million, the majority of which will be related to computer
equipment and software for infrastructure expansions. Capital spending in 2006 is expected to be funded from existing cash balances and cash flows from opera-
tions.
From time to time we will engage in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. In order to pursue such opportunities, which could require significant commit-
ments of capital, we may be required to incur debt or to issue additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to our future
acquisition opportunities and how such opportunities will be financed. In the absence of future acquisitions of other businesses, we believe our current cash bal-
ances and expected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and other activi-
ties through the next twelve months. If operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our needs, we may borrow under our credit agreement.
We lease office facilities, as well as transportation, computer and other equipment used in our operations under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring
at various dates through 2013. Most leases contain renewal options and some contain purchase options. Following are the future obligations under non-cancelable
leases at December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

It is not our usual business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. Moreover, it is not our normal policy to issue guarantees to third parties. As of
December 31, 2005 we have no material purchase commitments, except for the operating lease commitments listed above.
Capitalization
At December 31, 2005, our capitalization consisted of $112.2 million of shareholders’ equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2006, we will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” which, among
other things, will require the recording in the financial statements of non-cash compensation expense related to stock options and employee stock purchase plan
transactions. Prior to 2006, we have only disclosed, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, pro forma financial results including
the effects of share-based compensation expense in the footnotes to the financial statements. We have chosen the “modified prospective” method of implementing
35
SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified prospective” method, new awards will be valued and accounted for prospectively upon adoption. Outstanding prior awards that
are unvested as of December 31, 2005 will be recognized as compensation cost over the remaining requisite service period. Prior periods will not be restated. Based
on stock options granted to employees through December 31, 2005, we expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, will reduce first quarter net earn-
ings by approximately $320,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) and reduce full year 2006 net earnings by approximately $1.3 million ($0.03 per share, diluted).
SFAS No. 123R also requires employee stock purchase plans (ESPP) with purchase price discounts greater than 5% to be compensatory. Our ESPP has a 15% pur-
chase price discount, but the plan can be modified at any time. We expect the related compensatory charge would reduce first quarter 2006 net earnings by approx-
imately $50,000 ($0.00 per share, diluted) and reduce full year 2006 net earnings by approximately $200,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted).
SFAS No. 123R includes several modifications to the way that income taxes are recorded in the financial statements. The expense for certain types of option grants
is only deductible for tax purposes at the time that the taxable event takes place, which could cause variability in our effective tax rates recorded throughout the
year. SFAS No. 123R does not allow companies to “predict” when these taxable events will take place. Furthermore, it requires that the benefits associated with the
tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current lit-
erature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts can-
not be estimated, because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options. However, the amount of operating cash flows recognized in
prior periods for such excess tax deductions, as shown in our consolidated statement of cash flows, were $313,000, $582,000, and $292,000, respectively, for 2005,
2004, and 2003. See Notes 1 and 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our stock-based compensation plans.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates. As of December 31, 2005, we had
funds invested in auction rate municipal bonds, which we accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.” These investments were treated as available-for-sale under SFAS No. 115. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair market value. Due
to the nature of this investment, we are not subject to significant market rate risk.
We have no outstanding debt at December 31, 2005, and we therefore are not subject to any interest rate risk.
In order to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk associated with one contract, in December 2005, we contracted with a commercial bank to enter into
a series of forward contracts, at no material cost to us, to acquire Canadian dollars through 2009 at fixed prices. These forward contracts have been entered into for
periods consistent with the related underlying exposure in this contract and do not constitute positions independent of this exposure. We had approximately
$100,000 of current risk management assets associated with these foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2005. If the applicable exchange rate was to
increase or decrease 10% from the rate at December 31, 2005, our current risk management assets would increase or decrease approximately $300,000. We do not
enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes, nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument. At December 31, 2004 we did not have any for-
ward contracts in place.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tyler Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tyler Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signifi-
cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tyler Technologies, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Tyler Technologies,
Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Tyler Technologies, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that Tyler
Technologies, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Tyler Technologies, Inc.’s management is respon-
sible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit pro-
vides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transac-
tions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acqui-
sition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effec-
tiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
38
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Tyler Technologies, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fair-
ly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Tyler Technologies, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal con-
trol over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Tyler
Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated February 23, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
We provide integrated software systems and related services for local governments. We develop and market a broad line of software products and services to
address the information technology (“IT”) needs of cities, counties, schools and other local government entities. In addition, we provide professional IT services to
our customers, including software and hardware installation, data conversion, training, and for certain customers, product modifications, along with continuing main-
tenance and support for customers using our systems. We also provide property appraisal outsourcing services for taxing jurisdictions.
Tyler’s business is subject to risks and uncertainties including dependence on information technology spending by customers, fluctuations of quarterly results, a
lengthy and variable sales cycle, dependence on key personnel, dependence on principal products and third-party technology and rapid technological change.
Principles of Consolidation
In 2005, we merged all of our subsidiaries into the parent company. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 include our parent company and
our subsidiaries, all of which were wholly-owned.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Other
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, such as money market investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three
months or less at the time of purchase. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” we determine
the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluate the classification as of each balance sheet date. At December 31,
2005 and 2004, we classified our short-term investments as available-for-sale securities pursuant to SFAS No. 115. Investments which are classified as available-for-
sale are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market price and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, if any, are not reflected in
earnings but are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Interest and dividends earned on these securities are reinvested

We have a $5.0 million restricted certificate of deposit which collateralizes letters of credit required under our surety bond program. These letters of credit expire
during 2006 and early 2007.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue related to our software arrangements pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as
amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, and related interpretations, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
“Revenue Recognition.” We recognize revenue on our appraisal services contracts using the proportionate performance method of accounting, with considerations
for the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”
Software Arrangements
We earn revenue from software licenses, post-contract customer support (“PCS” or “maintenance”), software related services and hardware. PCS includes telephone
support, bug fixes, and rights to upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. We provide services that range from installation, training, and basic consulting to soft-
ware modification and customization to meet specific customer needs. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, specified
upgrades, PCS, and/or other services, we allocate the total arrangement fee among each deliverable based on the relative fair value of each.
We typically enter into multiple element arrangements, which include software licenses, software services, PCS and occasionally hardware. The majority of our soft-
ware arrangements are multiple element arrangements, but for those arrangements that include customization or significant modification of the software, or where
software services are otherwise considered essential to the functionality of the software in the customer’s environment, we use contract accounting and apply the
provisions of SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction – Type and Certain Production – Type Contracts.”
45
If the arrangement does not require significant modification or customization, revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
i.
ii.
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
delivery has occurred;
iii. our fee is fixed or determinable; and
iv.
collectibility is probable.
For multiple element arrangements, each element of the arrangement is analyzed and we allocate a portion of the total arrangement fee to the elements based on
the fair value of the element using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each
element. Fair value is considered the price a customer would be required to pay if the element was sold separately based on our historical experience of stand-alone
sales of these elements to third parties. For PCS, we use renewal rates for continued support arrangements to determine fair value. For software services, we use
the fair value we charge our customers when those services are sold separately. In software arrangements in which we have the fair value of all undelivered ele-
ments but not of a delivered element, we apply the “residual method” as allowed under SOP 98-9 in accounting for any element of a multiple element arrangement
involving software that remains undelivered such that any discount inherent in a contract is allocated to the delivered element. Under the residual method, if the fair
value of all undelivered elements is determinable, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocat-
ed to the delivered element(s) and is recognized as revenue assuming the other revenue recognition criteria are met. In software arrangements in which we do not
have VSOE for all undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until fair value is determined or all elements for which we do not have VSOE have been delivered.
Alternatively, if sufficient VSOE does not exist and the only undelivered element is services that do not involve significant modification or customization of the soft-
ware, the entire fee is recognized over the period during which the services are expected to be performed.
Software Licenses. We recognize the revenue allocable to software licenses and specified upgrades upon delivery of the software product or upgrade to the cus-
tomer, unless the fee is not fixed or determinable or collectibility is not probable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, including new customers whose payment
terms are three months or more from shipment, revenue is generally recognized as payments become due from the customer. If collectibility is not considered prob-
able, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. Arrangements that include software services, such as training or installation, are evaluated to determine
whether those services are essential to the product’s functionality.
A majority of our software arrangements involve “off-the-shelf” software. We consider software to be off-the-shelf software if it can be added to an arrangement with
minor changes in the underlying code and it can be used by the customer for the customer’s purpose upon installation. For off-the-shelf software arrangements, we
recognize the software license fee as revenue after delivery has occurred, customer acceptance is reasonably assured, that portion of the fee represents a non-refund-
able enforceable claim and is probable of collection, and the remaining services such as training are not considered essential to the product’s functionality.
For arrangements that include customization or modification of the software, or where software services are otherwise considered essential, we recognize revenue
using contract accounting. We generally use the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenue from these arrangements. We measure progress-to-comple-
tion primarily using labor hours incurred, or value added. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent
46
N O T E S T O C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
profit margins over the life of a contract since we have the ability to produce reasonably dependable estimates of contract billings and contract costs. We use the
level of profit margin that is most likely to occur on a contract. If the most likely profit margin cannot be precisely determined, the lowest probable level of profit in
the range of estimates is used until the results can be estimated more precisely. These arrangements are often implemented over an extended time period and occa-
sionally require us to revise total cost estimates. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the progress-to-completion measurement after giving effect to
any changes in our cost estimates. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recorded in the period they are determined. Estimated losses on uncomplet-
ed contracts are recorded in the period in which we first determine that a loss is apparent.
For arrangements that include new product releases for which it is difficult to estimate final profitability except to assume that no loss will ultimately be incurred, we
recognize revenue under the completed contract method. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or sub-
stantially complete. Historically these amounts have been immaterial.
Software Services. Some of our software arrangements include services considered essential for the customer to use the software for the customer’s purposes. For
these software arrangements, both the software license revenue and the services revenue are recognized as the services are performed using the percentage-of-
completion contract accounting method. When software services are not considered essential, the fee allocable to the service element is recognized as revenue as
we perform the services.
Computer Hardware Equipment. Revenue allocable to computer hardware equipment, which is based on VSOE, is recognized when we deliver the equipment and
collection is probable.
Postcontract Customer Support. Our customers generally enter into PCS agreements when they purchase our software licenses. Our PCS agreements are typically
renewable annually. Revenue allocated to PCS is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the PCS is provided. All significant costs and expenses associat-
ed with PCS are expensed as incurred. Fair value for the maintenance and support obligations for software licenses is based upon the specific sale renewals to cus-
tomers or upon renewal rates quoted in the contracts.
Appraisal Services
For our property appraisal projects, we recognize revenue using the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition since many of these projects are
implemented over one to three year periods and consist of various unique activities. Under this method of revenue recognition, we identify each activity for the
appraisal project, with a typical project generally calling for bonding, office set up, training, routing of map information, data entry, data collection, data verification,
informal hearings, appeals and project management. Each activity or act is specifically identified and assigned an estimated cost. Costs which are considered to be
associated with indirect activities, such as bonding costs and office set up, are expensed as incurred. These costs are typically billed as incurred and are recognized
as revenue equal to cost. Direct contract fulfillment activities and related supervisory costs such as data collection, data entry and verification are expensed as
incurred. The direct costs for these activities are determined and the total contract value is then allocated to each activity based on a consistent profit margin. Each
activity is assigned a consistent unit of measure to determine progress towards completion and revenue is recognized for each activity based upon the percentage
47
complete as applied to the estimated revenue for that activity. Progress for the fulfillment activities is typically based on labor hours or an output measure such as
the number of parcel counts completed for that activity. Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which we first determine that a
loss is apparent.
Other
Deferred revenue consists primarily of unearned support and maintenance revenue that has been billed based on contractual terms in the underlying arrangement
with the remaining balance consisting of payments received in advance of revenue being earned under software licensing, software services and hardware installa-
tion. Unbilled revenue is not billable at the balance sheet date but is recoverable over the remaining life of the contract through billings made in accordance with
contractual agreements. The termination clauses in most of our contracts provide for the payment for the fair value of products delivered and services performed in
the event of an early termination.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets include direct and incremental costs, consisting primarily of third party sub-contractor payments and commissions asso-
ciated with arrangements for which revenue recognition has been deferred. Such costs are expensed at the time the related revenue is recognized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the finan-
cial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions
include the application of the percentage-of-completion and proportionate performance methods of revenue recognition, the carrying amount and estimated useful
lives of intangible assets and valuation allowance for receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property, equipment and purchased software are recorded at original cost and increased by the cost of any significant improvements after purchase. We expense
maintenance and repairs when incurred. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the asset’s estimated useful
life or the term of the lease in the case of leasehold improvements. For income tax purposes, we use accelerated depreciation methods as allowed by tax laws.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are included with selling, general and administrative expenses and are expensed when incurred. We expensed research and devel-
opment costs of $2.4 million during 2005, $2.5 million during 2004, and $1.1 million during 2003.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial statement accounting
and tax accounting, known as “temporary differences.” We record the tax effect of these temporary differences as “deferred tax assets” (generally items that can
be used as a tax deduction or credit in the future periods) and “deferred tax liabilities” (generally items that we received a tax deduction for, which have not yet
been recorded in the income statement). The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rules and laws that are expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is likely that
a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Stock Compensation
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” we elected to account for our stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles
Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as amended, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method,
compensation expense is determined on the measurement date; that is, the first date on which both the number of shares the option holder is entitled to receive,
and the exercise price, if any, are known. Compensation expense, if any, is measured based on the award’s intrinsic value – the excess of the market price of the
stock over the exercise price on the measurement date. The exercise price of all of our stock options granted equals the market price on the measurement date.
Therefore, we have not recorded any compensation expense related to grants of stock options.
The weighted-average fair value per stock option granted was $3.47 for 2005, $6.03 for 2004, and $3.41 for 2003. We estimated the fair values using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions for the periods presented:

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123 for awards granted after December 31, 1994, as if we had accounted
for our stock-based awards to employees under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The pro forma impact of applying SFAS No. 123 in 2005, 2004 and 2003 will
not necessarily be representative of the pro forma impact in future years. Our pro forma information is as follows:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. Among other
items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. Pro forma disclosure
is no longer an alternative under the new standard. Although early adoption is allowed, we will adopt SFAS No. 123R as of the required effective date for calendar
year companies, which is January 1, 2006.
We currently utilize a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees. While SFAS No. 123R
permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a more complex binomial, or “lattice” model. Based upon our research on the
alternative models available to value option grants, and in conjunction with the type and number of stock options expected to be issued in the future, we have deter-
mined that we will continue to use the Black-Scholes model for option valuation as of the current time.
SFAS No. 123R includes several modifications to the way that income taxes are recorded in the financial statements. The expense for certain types of option grants
is only deductible for tax purposes at the time that the taxable event takes place, which could cause variability in our effective tax rates recorded throughout the
50
N O T E S T O C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
year. SFAS No. 123R does not allow companies to “predict” when these taxable events will take place. Furthermore, it requires that the benefits associated with the
tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current
literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts can-
not be estimated, because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options. However, the amounts of operating cash flows recognized in
prior periods for such excess tax deductions, as shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows, were $313,000, $582,000, and $292,000, respectively, for 2005,
2004, and 2003.
We have chosen the “modified prospective” method of implementing SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified prospective” method, new awards will be valued and
accounted for prospectively upon adoption. Outstanding prior awards that are unvested as of December 31, 2005 will be recognized as compensation cost over the
remaining requisite service period. Prior periods will not be restated. Based on stock options granted to employees through December 31, 2005, we expect the adop-
tion of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, will reduce first quarter net earnings by approximately $320,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted) and reduce full year 2006 net
earnings by approximately $1.3 million ($0.03 per share, diluted).
SFAS No. 123R also requires employee stock purchase plans (“ESPP”) with purchase price discounts greater than 5% to be compensatory. Our ESPP currently has a
15% purchase price discount, but the plan can be modified at any time. We expect the related compensatory charge would reduce first quarter 2006 net earnings
approximately $50,000 ($0.00 per share, diluted) and reduce full year 2006 net earnings approximately $200,000 ($0.01 per share, diluted).
See Note 12 for further information on our stock-based compensation plans.

Segment and Related Information
Although we have a number of operating divisions, separate segment data has not been presented as they meet the criteria for aggregation as permitted by SFAS
No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We have used the purchase method of accounting for all of our business combinations. Our business acquisitions result in the allocation of the purchase price to
goodwill and other intangible assets. We allocate the cost of acquired companies first to identifiable assets based on estimated fair values. The excess of the pur-
chase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill.
Under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we will evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of April 1st, or more frequently if impairment indi-
cators arise. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. In the implementation of SFAS No. 142, we iden-
tified two reporting units for impairment testing. The appraisal services and appraisal software stand-alone business unit qualified as a reporting unit since it is one
level below an operating segment, discrete financial information exists for the business unit and the executive management group directly reviews this business
unit. The other software business units were aggregated into the other single reporting unit. The appraisal services and appraisal software stand-alone business unit
is organized in such a manner that both of its revenue sources are tightly integrated with each other and discrete financial information at the operating profit level
does not exist for this business unit’s respective revenue sources.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our property and equipment or other long-lived assets to be held
and used may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, we measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset or appropriate grouping of assets and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the car-
rying amount of the assets exceeds their estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented
separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Costs of Computer Software
Software development costs have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed.” Under SFAS No. 86, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the
52
N O T E S T O C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
availability of the product for general release to customers. We capitalized software development costs of approximately $1.0 million during 2005, $4.6 million during
2004 and $6.8 million during 2003. Software development costs primarily consist of personnel costs and rent for related office space. We begin to amortize capital-
ized costs when a product is available for general release to customers. Amortization expense is determined on a product-by-product basis at a rate not less than
straight-line basis over the product’s remaining estimated economic life but not to exceed five years. Amortization of software development costs was approximately
$5.9 million in 2005, $6.1 million during 2004, and $4.1 million during 2003 and is included in cost of software license revenue in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payables, deferred revenues and certain other assets at cost approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of these instruments. Our available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices.
In order to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk associated with one contract, in December 2005, we contracted with a commercial bank to enter into
a series of forward contracts, at no material cost to us, to acquire Canadian dollars through 2009 at fixed prices. These forward contracts have been entered into for
periods consistent with the related underlying exposure in this contract and do not constitute positions independent of this exposure. These forward contracts are
recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in earnings. We had approxi-
mately $100,000 of current risk management assets associated with these foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2005 and we recorded related gains in other
income of approximately $100,000. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes, nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument. At
December 31, 2004 we did not have any forward contracts in place.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Unbilled Receivables
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the size and geographical diversity of our customer base. Historically, our credit losses
have not been significant. As a result, we do not believe we have any significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 31, 2005.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts and sales adjustments, which are provided at the time the revenue is recognized. Since most of our customers are
domestic governmental entities, we rarely incur a loss resulting from the inability of a customer to make required payments. Events or changes in circumstances
that indicate that the carrying amount for the allowances for doubtful accounts and sales adjustments may require revision, include, but are not limited to, deterio-
ration of a customer’s financial condition, failure to manage our customer’s expectations regarding the scope of the services to be delivered, and defects or errors in
new versions or enhancements of our software products.
The termination clauses in most of our contracts provide for the payment for the fair value of products delivered or services performed in the event of early termi-
nation. Our property appraisal outsourcing service contracts can range up to three years and, in one case, as long as six years in duration. In connection with these
53
contracts, as well as certain software service contracts, we may perform work prior to when the software and services are billable and/or payable pursuant to the
contract. We have historically recorded such unbilled receivables (costs and estimated profit in excess of billings) in connection with (1) property appraisal services
contracts accounted for using proportionate performance accounting in which the revenue is earned based upon activities performed in one accounting period but
the billing normally occurs shortly thereafter and may span another accounting period; (2) software services contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-com-
pletion method of revenue recognition using labor hours as a measure of progress towards completion in which the services are performed in one accounting period
but the billing for the software element of the arrangement may be based upon the specific phase of the implementation; (3) software revenue for which we have
objective evidence that the customer-specified objective criteria has been met but the billing has not yet been submitted to the customer; and (4) in a limited num-
ber of cases, we may grant extended payment terms generally to existing customers with whom we have a long-term relationship and favorable collection history. In
addition, certain of our property appraisal outsourcing contracts are required by law to have an amount withheld from a progress billing (generally a 10% retention)
until final and satisfactory project completion is achieved, typically upon the completion of fieldwork or formal hearings.
In connection with this activity, we have recorded unbilled receivables of $7.1 million and $10.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, with billing pri-
marily dependent on a fixed payment schedule based on specific calendar dates. We also have recorded retention receivable of $1.7 million at both December 31,
2005 and 2004, and these retentions become payable upon the completion of our field work and formal hearings. Unbilled receivables and retention receivables
expected to be collected in excess of one year have been classified as non-current receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Indemnification
Most of our software license agreements indemnify our customers in the event that the software sold infringes upon the intellectual property rights of a third party.
These agreements typically provide that in such event we will either modify or replace the software so that it becomes non-infringing or procure for the customer
the right to use the software. We have recorded no liability associated with these indemnifications, as we are not aware of any pending or threatened infringement
actions that are possible losses. We believe the estimated fair value of these intellectual property indemnification clauses is minimal.
We have also agreed to indemnify our officers and board members if they are named or threatened to be named as a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact
that they acted in such capacity. A form of the indemnification agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. We
maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to protect against any such losses. We have recorded no liability associated with these indemnifications.
Because of our insurance coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for previous years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Acquisitions
During December 2003, we acquired 95% of one company, Eden Systems, Inc. (“Eden”), and certain assets of another business that provides forms software to users
of some of our software products, for an aggregate purchase price of $15.5 million, consisting of $13.1 million cash and $2.4 million of Tyler common stock. In 2004
we paid $725,000 cash for the remaining 5% of Eden. The results of these acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their
respective dates of acquisition. Eden provides financial, personnel and citizen services applications software for local governments.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the consolidated results of operations for 2003 as if our acquisition of Eden occurred as of the beginning of
2003, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangibles, interest and income tax effects. Pro forma information does not include acqui-
sitions that are not considered material to our results of operations. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what our results of operations actual-
ly would have been had such transaction or event occurred on the dates specified, or to project our results of operations for any future period.

One of our non-operating subsidiaries, Swan Transportation Company (“Swan”), had been involved in various claims raised by former employees of a foundry that
was owned by an affiliate of Swan and Tyler prior to December 1995. These claims were for alleged work related injuries and physical conditions resulting from
alleged exposure to silica, asbestos, and/or related industrial dusts. After a series of bankruptcy court filings involving Swan, on December 23, 2003, Tyler, in accor-
dance with the terms of the plan of reorganization, transferred the stock of Swan to the Swan Asbestos and Silica Trust (the “Trust”), an unaffiliated entity that will
oversee the processing and payment of all present and future claims related to the foundry. On December 23, 2003, we paid $1.48 million to the Trust in full and
final release from all liability for claims associated with the once-owned foundry (the “Swan Matter”). As a result of the release, any claimant is barred from assert-
ing any such claim, either now or in the future, against Tyler or its affected affiliates. We recorded a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $424,000
because we fully settled the Swan Matter at an amount less than initially recorded and certain aspects of the settlement were structured in a beneficial tax manner.
Accordingly, we recognized for the first time certain tax benefits associated with payments on behalf of the Swan Matter.
(4) Restructuring Charge
Because of unsatisfactory financial performance early in 2005, we made significant organizational changes in the second quarter of 2005 to those areas of our busi-
ness that were not performing to our expectations. Our goal was to bring costs in line with expected levels of revenue while improving the efficiency of our organi-
zational structure to ensure that clients continue to receive superior service.
55
We currently anticipate that revenues in our appraisal services business are likely to remain at historically low levels in the foreseeable future and we reorganized
that division to eliminate levels of management and reduce overhead expense. We also took actions to reduce headcount and costs in our appraisal and tax software
division, and we consolidated certain senior management positions at the corporate office. These cost reductions were made in the second quarter of 2005. As a
result, we reduced headcount in the appraisal services and appraisal and tax software businesses, as well as in the corporate office, by eliminating approximately 120
positions, including management, staff and project-related personnel.
In connection with the reorganization, we incurred certain charges which were primarily comprised of employee severance costs and related fringe benefits, and
totaled approximately $1.3 million before income taxes. The related payments were paid in 2005.

(6) Gain on Sale of Investment
On March 25, 2003, we received cash proceeds of $39.3 million in connection with a transaction to sell all of our 5.6 million shares of H.T.E., Inc. (“HTE”) common
stock to SunGard Data Systems Inc. for $7.00 cash per share, pursuant to a Tender and Voting Agreement dated February 4, 2003. Our original cost basis in the HTE
shares was $15.8 million. After transaction and other costs, we recorded a realized gross gain of $23.2 million ($16.2 million after income taxes of $7.0 million,
including the utilization for tax purposes and reduction in valuation allowance for accounting purposes related to a capital loss carryforward amounting to $1.1 mil-
lion on a tax effected basis).

(9) Long Term Obligations
On February 11, 2005, we entered into a revolving bank credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures February 11, 2008 and provides for total
borrowings of up to $30.0 million. Borrowings bear interest at either prime rate or at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.5%. As of
December 31, 2005, the effective interest rate was 5.9%. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal property. The Credit Facility requires us to
maintain certain financial ratios and other financial conditions and prohibits us from making certain investments, advances, cash dividends or loans. As of December
31, 2005, we were in compliance with those covenants. The credit agreement also includes a $10.0 million Letter of Credit facility under which the banks will issue
cash collateralized letters of credit.
At December 31, 2005, we had no debt outstanding under the Credit Facility and our bank had issued outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.1 million to secure
surety bonds required by some of our customer contracts. These letters of credit have been collateralized by restricted cash balances invested in a certificate of
deposit.
We paid interest of $184,000 in 2005, $105,000 in 2004, and $238,000 in 2003, which includes non-usage and other fees associated with the credit agreement.

In 2003, we utilized our capital loss carryforward of $1.1 million on a tax-effected basis in connection with a realized gain from the sale of our investment in HTE.
See Note 6 – Gain on Sale of Investment.
Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that all the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 will be realized. Accordingly,
we believe no valuation allowance is required for the deferred tax assets. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in
the future if estimates of reversing taxable temporary differences are revised.
We paid income taxes, net of refunds received, of $8.1 million in 2005, $6.5 million in 2004, and $6.5 million in 2003.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005 and through February 27, 2006, we have repurchased 250,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2.2 million. As of
February 27, 2006 we have authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to 1.8 million additional shares of our common stock.
In 2003, through a modified Dutch Auction tender offer, we purchased 5.1 million shares of our common stock at a cash purchase price of $4.00 per share and
incurred transaction costs of approximately $150,000, for a total cost of $20.6 million. In addition, during 2003 we also repurchased 912,800 shares of common
stock on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million.
In November 2003, we exchanged a warrant issued in July 1997 to purchase 2.0 million shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share into six separate warrants to
purchase a total of 2.0 million shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share. Subsequent to the exchange in 2003, several parties exercised their warrants to pur-
chase 375,000 shares of our common stock by way of cashless exercise and were issued, on a net basis, 247,620 shares of our common stock from our treasury. In
March 2004, another warrant holder exercised his warrant to purchase 21,234 shares of our common stock by way of cashless exercise and was issued on a net
basis, 15,780 shares of our common stock from our treasury shares. As of December 31, 2005, we have warrants outstanding to purchase 1.6 million shares of com-
mon stock at $2.50 per share. These warrants expire in September 2007.
In August 2003, Sanders Morris Harris Inc. (“SMH”) exercised its warrant issued in May 2000 to purchase 333,380 shares of our common stock. The exercise price
per share was $3.60 payable either in cash or by the surrender of shares subject to the warrant with a value equal to the aggregate exercise price as determined by
the market price of our stock on the date of exercise. On August 27, 2003, SMH exercised the full amount of the warrant by way of cashless exercise and was issued,
on a net basis, 145,413 shares of our common stock from our treasury shares.
(12) Stock Plans
We have a stock option plan that provides for the grant of stock options to key employees and directors. Options become fully exercisable after three to five years
of continuous employment and expire ten years after the grant date. Once exercisable, the employee can purchase shares of our common stock at the market price
on the date we granted the option. In 2005 we also issued 65,000 non-qualified stock options to a non-employee who provides consulting services. These options
61
were granted at their fair market value on the date of the grant, vest over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31,
2005, there were 73,000 shares available for future grants under the plan from the 7.5 million shares previously approved by the stockholders.
The following table summarizes our stock option plan’s transactions for the three-year period ended December 31, 2005:

In May 2004, our shareholders voted to adopt the Tyler Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and to reserve 1.0 million shares of our common
stock for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, participants may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to purchase common shares of Tyler. The
purchase price of the shares is equal to 85% of the closing price of Tyler shares on the last day of each quarterly offering period. During 2005, employees con-
tributed $1.0 million to the ESPP and we issued approximately 171,000 shares of common stock in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, there were 785,000 shares avail-
able for future grants under the plan from the 1.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

Stock options representing the right to purchase common stock of 229,000 shares in 2005, 110,000 shares in 2004, and 1.1 million shares in 2003, had exercise
prices greater than the average quoted market price of our common stock. These options were outstanding during 2005, 2004 and 2003, but were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect.
(14) Leases
We lease office facilities for use in our operations as well as transportation, computer and other equipment. We also have two office facility lease agreements with a
shareholder and certain division managers. Most of these leases are noncancelable operating lease agreements and they expire at various dates through 2013. In
addition to rent, the leases generally require us to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses.
Rent expense was approximately $4.6 million in 2005, $4.6 million in 2004, and $4.3 million in 2003, which included rent expense associated with related party lease
agreements of $1.5 million in 2005, $1.4 million in 2004, and $1.5 million in 2003.

and none thereafter.
(15) Employee Benefit Plans
We provide a defined contribution plan for the majority of our employees meeting minimum service requirements. The employees can contribute up to 30% of their
current compensation to the plan subject to certain statutory limitations. We contribute up to a maximum of 2.5% of an employee’s compensation to the plan. We
made contributions to the plan and charged operations $1.0 million during 2005, $801,000 during 2004, and $931,000 during 2003.
(16) Commitments and Contingencies
On September 9, 2005, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“ACS”) filed litigation in Dallas County, Texas against thirty-three defendants, including Tyler and John M.
Yeaman, our Chairman of the Board (“Yeaman”). The other named defendants include entities affiliated with William D. Oates (“Oates”), a former director of ours,
and certain individuals employed by such entities. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we breached the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set
forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2000 (the “SPA”) between ACS and us pursuant to which we sold to ACS for cash all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Business Resources Corporation (“BRC”), which comprised a significant portion of our then existing property records business. In the
SPA, we agreed to certain five-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, which expired on December 29, 2005. In addition, the SPA contained a closing
condition pursuant to which Oates agreed to amend his then existing three-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants so that the restricted activities
would conform to the language of our restricted activities, which covenants expired on December 29, 2003. The lawsuit alleges that Oates (or entities owned by
Oates) solicited ACS employees and re-entered the land records business after the expiration of his three-year covenants, but prior to the expiration of our five-year
covenants, and further alleges that we, through our non-compete, are legally responsible for Oates’ actions. The lawsuit further alleges that Oates “controlled
Tyler”, “manipulated Tyler”, and was a “legal representative” of ours for a significant, but unspecified, period of time following the sale of BRC, even though Oates
65
has not been a member of our board since 2001, has not been employed by us since the sale of BRC, has had limited contact with our management since the sale of
BRC, and to our knowledge, has not owned any stock in us since May 2003. The lawsuit further alleges that we fraudulently induced ACS to enter into the SPA
because we allegedly knew that Oates (or entities owned by Oates) would re-enter the land records business after three years, even though the SPA specifically con-
tained different covenants with respect to Oates and us. ACS entered into a settlement agreement with all of the defendants other than Yeaman and us, the terms
of which are currently confidential; however, management believes that the settlement agreement extends the non-compete for Oates and his related entities for
some period of time.
We vehemently deny all allegations contained in the lawsuit. Management believes that we have not breached any non-competition covenants, have not solicited
ACS employees, and have not misappropriated ACS confidential information. Management further believes that the “factual” allegations made against us are false
and inaccurate and that the legal theories asserted by ACS are without merit. Management further believes based on discovery that has taken place to date that
even if the allegations as currently set forth in the petition were true, that ACS has suffered no or nominal damage, particularly in light of the settlement agreement
with Oates and his related entities.
We have filed counterclaims against ACS, including claims for business disparagement and defamation, alleging that ACS has published factually inaccurate and
defamatory statements about us to third parties, including our customers and prospective customers, with malice and/or negligence regarding the truth of those
statements. We intend to defend the lawsuit and pursue our counterclaims vigorously. The future costs associated with such defense and in pursuit of the counter-
claims are uncertain and difficult to predict and may be material.
Other than ordinary course, routine litigation incidental to our business and except as described herein, there are no material legal proceedings pending to which we
are party or to which any of our properties are subject.
(17) Subsequent Events
In January 2006, we acquired two companies whose products will be included within our Financials division. MazikUSA, Inc. offers a Student Information System for
K-12 schools, which manages such applications as scheduling, grades and attendance. TACS, Inc. offers software products to manage public sector pension funds.
These acquisitions added products that were not previously a part of Tyler’s portfolio. The combined purchase price for the two companies was approximately $14.2
million, comprised of approximately $11.3 million cash and 325,000 shares of Tyler common stock. We have not finalized the allocation of the excess purchase price
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired companies.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)) as of December 31, 2005. Based on such evaluation, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2005 such disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as
defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Tyler’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Tyler’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance to Tyler’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Tyler’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our
assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2005, Tyler’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the
independent registered public accounting firm who also audited Tyler’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on management’s
assessment of Tyler’s internal control over financial reporting appears on page 38 hereof.
