Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk” or the “Company”) as of October 31, 2011, and for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk has made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2012, or for any other period. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, filed on March 18, 2011. |

| Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the nine months ended October 31, 2011, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2010-29 regarding Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” This ASU updates accounting guidance to clarify that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The new accounting guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and should be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. Autodesk adopted the new disclosures under ASU 2010-29 effective February 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The impact of ASU 2010-29 on Autodesk’s future quarterly disclosures will be dependent on the size of the business combinations that it consummates in future periods. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 regarding ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” This ASU updates accounting guidance related to the calculation of the carrying amount of a reporting unit when performing the first step of a goodwill impairment test. More specifically, this update requires an entity to use an equity premise when performing the first step of a goodwill impairment test and if a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount, the entity must assess and consider qualitative factors and whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The new accounting guidance is effective for public entities, for impairment tests performed during entities’ fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) that begin after December 15, 2010. Autodesk adopted the changes under ASU 2010-28 effective February 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 regarding ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This ASU requires additional disclosure regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. In addition, this ASU requires the Company to separately present information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (on a gross basis rather than as one net number) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). ASU 2010-06 clarifies existing disclosures regarding fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. This update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan asset (Subtopic 715-20). The changes under ASU 2010-06 were effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which Autodesk adopted February 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 regarding ASC Subtopic 605-25 “Revenue Recognition—Multiple-element Arrangements.” This ASU addresses criteria for separating the consideration in multiple-element arrangements. ASU 2009-13 requires companies to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable by using a best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or other third-party evidence of the selling price. In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU 2009-14 regarding ASC Topic 985 “Software: Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU modifies the scope of ASC Subtopic 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition,” to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. The changes under ASU 2009-13 and 2009-14 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Autodesk adopted the changes under ASU 2009-13 and 2009-14 effective February 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 regarding ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” This ASU allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This ASU will be effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Autodesk believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 regarding ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires the presentation of the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU will be effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. Autodesk currently believes that this new accounting pronouncement will impact the presentation of other comprehensive income but will not impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04 regarding ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU updates accounting guidance to clarify how to measure fair value to align the guidance surrounding Fair Value Measurement within GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. In addition, the ASU updates certain requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosure around fair value measurement. It does not require additional fair value measurements and the ASU was not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. This ASU will be effective for Autodesk’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2012. Early adoption is not permitted. Autodesk believes that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

| Concentration of Credit Risk |
Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citibank and its global affiliates (“Citibank”). Citicorp USA, Inc., an affiliate of Citibank, is one of the lead lenders and agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $400.0 million line of credit facility. It is Autodesk’s policy to limit the amounts invested with any one institution by type of security and issuer.
Total sales to the distributor Tech Data Corporation, and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”), accounted for 16% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for both the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, and 15% and 16% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for the three and nine months periods ended October 31, 2010, respectively. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data relates to Autodesk’s Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment and is for sales made outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 17% and 16% of trade accounts receivable at October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, respectively. On October 27, 2011, Tech Data purchased certain assets of Mensch und Maschine Software (“MuM”), which has been a distributor of Autodesk products in Europe. Autodesk believes its business is not substantially dependent on Tech Data, including following the acquisition of certain assets of MuM. Autodesk’s customers through Tech Data are the resellers and end users who purchase Autodesk’s software licenses and services. Should any of the agreements between Autodesk and Tech Data be terminated for any reason, Autodesk believes the resellers and end users who currently purchase Autodesk’s products through Tech Data would be able to continue to do so under substantially the same terms from one of the many other distributors of Autodesk without substantial disruption to Autodesk revenue. |

| Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities |
Financial Instruments Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. The cost and fair value of Autodesk’s financial instruments are as follows:
Autodesk classifies its marketable securities and financial instruments as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Marketable securities and financial instruments with remaining maturities of less than 12 months are classified as short-term and marketable securities and financial instruments with remaining maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. Autodesk may sell certain of its marketable securities and financial instruments prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes or in anticipation of credit deterioration. Autodesk has marketable securities and financial instruments that are classified as either “available-for-sale securities” or “trading securities.” At October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, Autodesk’s short-term investment portfolio included $32.7 million and $31.3 million, respectively, of “trading securities” invested in a defined set of mutual funds directed by the participants in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. At October 31, 2011, these securities had net unrealized gains of $0.9 million and a cost basis of $31.8 million. At January 31, 2011, these securities had net unrealized gains of $1.6 million and a cost basis of $29.7 million (see Note 11, “Deferred Compensation”).
Marketable securities and financial instruments classified as “available-for-sale securities” include the following securities at October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011:
The sales or redemptions of “available-for-sale securities” resulted in no gross gains or losses during the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2011 and 2010. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. At October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, Autodesk owned an auction rate security with an estimated fair value of $4.2 million. Autodesk’s auction rate security is a variable rate debt instrument that has underlying securities with contractual maturities greater than ten years and interest rates that were structured to reset at auction every twenty-eight days. The security, which met Autodesk’s investment guidelines at the time the investment was made, has failed to settle in auction since August 2007 and has earned a premium interest rate since that time. While Autodesk expects to recover substantially all of its current holdings, net of reserves, in the auction rate security, it cannot predict when this will occur or the amount the Company will receive. Due to the lack of liquidity of this investment in an active market, it is included in non-current “marketable securities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue on a quarterly basis to evaluate its accounting for this investment.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our “available-for-sale securities” classified by the contractual maturity date of the security:
As of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011, Autodesk did not have any securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. Derivative Financial Instruments Under its risk management strategy, Autodesk uses derivative instruments to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and market price risk which exist as part of ongoing business operations. Autodesk’s general practice is to hedge a majority of transaction exposures denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Swiss francs, British pounds, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. These instruments have maturities between one to twelve months in the future. Autodesk does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes. The bank counterparties in all contracts expose Autodesk to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, Autodesk only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company’s minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. Autodesk monitors ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades on at least a quarterly basis. Based on Autodesk’s on-going assessment of counterparty risk, the Company will adjust its exposure to various counterparties. Autodesk does not have any master netting arrangements in place with collateral features. Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges Autodesk utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quarterly using regression analysis as well as other timing and probability criteria. To receive cash flow hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge and the hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The gross gains and losses on these hedges are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted revenue or expense is recognized. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, Autodesk reclassifies the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” to “Interest and other income (expense), net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at that time. The notional amount of these contracts was $401.9 million at October 31, 2011 and $345.5 million at January 31, 2011. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The entire net loss of $3.6 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” as of October 31, 2011 is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next twelve months. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts which are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce the exchange rate risk associated primarily with foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Forward contracts are marked-to-market at the end of each fiscal quarter with gains and losses recognized as “Interest and other income (expense), net.” These derivative instruments do not subject the Company to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivative instruments are intended to offset the gains or losses resulting from the settlement of the underlying foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The notional amounts of foreign currency contracts were $24.1 million at October 31, 2011 and $56.1 million at January 31, 2011.
In addition to these foreign currency contracts, Autodesk holds derivative instruments issued by privately held companies, which are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivatives consist of certain conversion options on the convertible debt securities held by Autodesk and an option to acquire a privately held company. These derivatives are recorded at fair value as of each balance sheet date and are recorded in “Other assets”. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income as “Interest and other income (expense), net.” Fair Value of Derivative Instruments: The fair value of derivative instruments in Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows as of October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011:
The effects of derivatives designated as hedging instruments on Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (amounts presented include any income tax effects):
The effects of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (amounts presented include any income tax effects):

| Fair Value Measurements |
On a recurring basis, Autodesk measures the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities and financial instruments. Autodesk uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in active markets; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require Autodesk to develop its own assumptions. When determining fair value, Autodesk uses observable market data and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the nine months ended October 31, 2011.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table summarizes Autodesk’s investments and financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2011:
The following table summarizes Autodesk’s investments and financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2011:
Autodesk’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Autodesk’s Level 1 securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices. Level 2 securities are valued primarily using alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s investments held in auction rate and convertible debt securities at October 31, 2011 and January 31, 2011 are designated as Level 3 because they are valued using probability weighted discounted cash flow models and some of the inputs to the models are unobservable in the market.
A reconciliation of the change in Autodesk’s Level 3 items for the nine months ended October 31, 2011 was as follows:
During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, there were no transfers in or out, issuances, settlements, sales or realized/unrealized gains (losses) within Level 3 assets. |

| Stock-based Compensation Expense |
Stock Plans As of October 31, 2011, Autodesk maintained two active stock plans for the purpose of granting equity awards to employees and to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors: the 2008 Employee Stock Plan, as amended and restated (“2008 Plan”), which is available only to employees, and the 2010 Outside Directors’ Option Plan, as amended (“2010 Plan”), which is available only to non-employee directors. The exercise price of all stock options granted under these plans was equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. Additionally, there are seven expired or terminated plans with options outstanding. The 2008 Plan was approved by Autodesk’s stockholders in November 2007 and was amended in June 2010. As amended, the 2008 Plan reserves 16.0 million shares of Autodesk common stock for issuance and will expire in June 2013. The 2008 Plan permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards; however, no more than 2.5 million of the shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan may be issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Options and restricted stock units granted under the 2008 Plan vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to over a four year period, and options expire within seven to ten years from the date of grant. At October 31, 2011, the number of shares available for future issuance under the 2008 Plan was 9.4 million, of which 1.0 million shares were available for future grants of restricted stock. The 2010 Plan, which was approved by Autodesk’s stockholders in June 2009, became effective in March 2010 and will expire in March 2020. The 2010 Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to non-employee members of Autodesk’s Board of Directors. Options and awards granted under the 2010 Plan vest over periods ranging from one year to four years, and options expire within seven years from the date of grant. The 2010 Plan reserves 3.0 million shares of Autodesk common stock. At October 31, 2011, 2.6 million shares were available for future issuance. At a special meeting to be held on January 6, 2012, Autodesk is requesting that its stockholders approve the Autodesk 2012 Employee Stock Plan (“2012 Employee Plan”) and the Autodesk 2012 Outside Directors’ Stock Plan (“2012 Directors’ Plan”), which will replace the 2008 Plan and the 2010 Plan, respectively. If Autodesk’s stockholders approve the 2012 Employee Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the 2012 Employee Plan will be up to 21.2 million shares (which include shares then remaining in the 2008 plan as well as forfeited shares in certain prior employee stock plans). Upon approval of the 2012 Employee Plan, no further equity awards may be granted under the 2008 Plan. If Autodesk’s stockholders approve the 2012 Directors’ Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Directors’ Plan will be that number of shares remaining for issuance under the 2010 Plan as of as of January 6, 2012, not to exceed 2.6 million shares. Upon approval of the 2012 Directors’ Plan, no further equity awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan. The following sections summarize activity under Autodesk’s stock plans.
Stock Options: A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended October 31, 2011 is as follows:
As of October 31, 2011, total compensation cost of $85.9 million related to non-vested options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The following table summarizes information about the pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised, and the weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted, during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, and 2010.
The following table summarizes information about options outstanding and exercisable at October 31, 2011:
These options will expire if not exercised at specific dates ranging through September 2021.
Restricted Stock: A summary of restricted stock award and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended October 31, 2011 is as follows:
During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk granted approximately 934,200 restricted stock units under the 2008 Plan. The restricted stock units vest over periods ranging from immediately upon grant to a pre-determined date that is typically within three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. The fair value of the restricted stock units is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $6.9 million and $20.5 million during three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation related to restricted stock units of $1.9 million and $5.8 million, during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010, respectively. As of October 31, 2011, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $36.4 million related to non-vested restricted stock units, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. At October 31, 2011, the number of restricted stock units granted but unreleased was 2.1 million. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk granted 16,000 restricted stock awards under the 2010 Plan. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2010 Plan vest on the date of the next annual meeting. Restricted stock awards are considered outstanding at the time of grant, as the stock award holders are entitled to many of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, respectively. Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010, respectively. As of October 31, 2011, total compensation cost not yet recognized of $0.3 million related to non-vested restricted stock awards, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.6 years. At October 31, 2011, the number of restricted stock awards granted but unreleased was 16,000. 1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESP Plan”) Under Autodesk’s ESP Plan, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation subject to certain limitations, at not less than 85% of fair market value as defined in the ESP Plan. At October 31, 2011, a total of 29.7 million shares were available for future issuance. This amount automatically increases on the first trading day of each fiscal year by an amount equal to the lesser of 10.0 million shares or 2.0% of the total of (1) outstanding shares plus (2) any shares repurchased by Autodesk during the prior fiscal year. Under the ESP Plan, the Company issues shares on the first trading day following March 31 and September 30 of each fiscal year. The ESP Plan expires during fiscal 2018. Autodesk issued 1.0 million shares and 2.8 million shares under the ESP Plan during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, respectively, at average prices of $23.52 and $18.26 per share, respectively. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010, Autodesk issued 1.5 million and 3.2 million shares under the ESP Plan, respectively, at average prices of $14.91 and $14.77 per share, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESP Plan during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, was $10.74 and $9.07 per share, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted under the ESP Plan during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010, calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, was $7.60 and $7.22 per share, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as follows:
Autodesk uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards based on the following assumptions:
Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures. The first is a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and the second is the implied volatility of traded forward call options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Autodesk estimates the expected life of stock-based awards using both exercise behavior and post-vesting termination behavior as well as consideration of outstanding options. Autodesk does not currently pay, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives. Autodesk recognizes expense only for the stock-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Therefore, Autodesk has developed an estimate of the number of awards expected to cancel prior to vesting (“forfeiture rate”). The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical pre-vest cancellation experience and is applied to all stock-based awards. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. |

| Income Taxes |
Autodesk’s effective tax rate was 20% and 21% during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, respectively, compared to 25% and 24% during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010, respectively. Autodesk’s effective tax rate decreased during the three months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in discrete tax benefits associated with changes in estimates related to Autodesk’s tax return filings in fiscal 2012 and tax detriment from a California tax rate change and related valuation allowance recorded in fiscal 2011 as well as an increase in tax benefits in fiscal 2012 from foreign earnings taxed at lower rates. Excluding the impact of discrete tax items primarily associated with changes in estimates related to tax return filings and stock-based compensation benefits of $3.3 million and $7.8 million in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 respectively, the effective tax rate for each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 was 24% and was lower than the Federal statutory tax rate of 35%, primarily due to foreign income taxed at lower rates and research and development credits partially offset by the impact of non-deductible stock-based compensation expense. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had $198.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, of which approximately $184.3 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months; however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. At October 31, 2011, Autodesk had net deferred tax assets of $172.9 million. The Company believes that it will generate sufficient future taxable income in appropriate tax jurisdictions to realize these assets. |

| Acquisitions |
During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk completed the business combinations and technology purchases described below. The results of operations for the following acquisitions are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations since their respective acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the following acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, Autodesk allocated the fair value of the total consideration transferred to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. Autodesk recorded the excess of consideration over the aggregate fair values as goodwill. On March 1, 2011, Autodesk acquired Scaleform Corporation (“Scaleform”) for total cash consideration of $36.2 million. Scaleform was a privately held middleware and user interface tools company, whose technology has been licensed in the development of games across all major hardware platforms. Scaleform has been integrated into Autodesk’s Media and Entertainment segment. On March 10, 2011, Autodesk acquired Blue Ridge Numerics, Inc (“Blue Ridge”) for total cash consideration of $41.2 million. Blue Ridge was a privately held company that designed and sold software that enables mechanical engineers to study fluid flow and thermal performance in virtual prototyping. Blue Ridge has been integrated into Autodesk’s Manufacturing segment. On August 1, 2011, Autodesk acquired Instructables, Inc. (“Instructables”) for total cash consideration of $30.2 million. Instructables was a privately held web-based company specializing in user-created and uploaded instructions for do-it-yourself projects, on which other users can comment and rate for quality. Instructables has been integrated into Autodesk’s Platform Solutions and Emerging Business segment. On August 24, 2011, Autodesk entered into a purchase agreement with Turbo Squid, Inc. (“Turbo Squid”) to acquire certain technology related assets for $26.0 million and entered into related cross-licensing and a commercial arrangement which is less than $0.2 million in expense per year. Additionally, Autodesk purchased the option to acquire Turbo Squid within a prescribed date range. On October 14, 2011, Autodesk acquired Micro Application Packages Limited (“MAP”) for total cash consideration of $23.0 million. MAP was a privately held company specializing in software and services in the building information modeling (“BIM”) life cycle with the focus on fabrication. MAP has been integrated into Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering and Construction segment. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk also completed 13 other business combination and technology acquisitions for a total cash consideration of approximately $38.7 million. These business combinations and technology acquisitions were not material individually or in aggregate to Autodesk’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for each of the business combinations and technology acquisitions completed during the nine months ended October 31, 2011:
For Scaleform, Blue Ridge, Instructables, and MAP the allocation of purchase price consideration to the assets and liabilities is not yet finalized. The allocation of the purchase price consideration was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are amounts for income tax assets and liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction and residual goodwill. |

| Goodwill |
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended October 31, 2011, is as follows:
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Autodesk assigns goodwill to the reportable segment associated with each business combination, and tests goodwill for impairment annually in its fourth fiscal quarter or more often if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. When assessing goodwill for impairment, Autodesk uses discounted cash flow models that include assumptions regarding reportable segments’ projected cash flows (“Income Approach”) and corroborates it with the estimated consideration that the Company would receive if there were to be a sale of the reporting segment (“Market Approach”). Variances in these assumptions could have a significant impact on Autodesk’s conclusion as to whether goodwill is impaired or the amount of any impairment charge. Impairment charges, if any, result from instances where the fair values of net assets associated with goodwill are less than their carrying values. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. The value of Autodesk’s goodwill could also be impacted by future adverse changes such as: (i) declines in Autodesk’s actual financial results, (ii) a sustained decline in Autodesk’s market capitalization, (iii) significant slowdown in the worldwide economy or the industries Autodesk serves, or (iv) changes in Autodesk’s business strategy or internal financial results forecasts. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the fair value of any of Autodesk’s four reporting units would not have an impact on the carrying value, nor result in an impairment, of goodwill shown on Autodesk’s balance sheet as of October 31, 2011 for the respective reporting units. |

Autodesk’s line of credit facility permits unsecured short-term borrowings of up to $400.0 million, with an option to request an increase in the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $100.0 million, and is available for working capital or other business needs. This credit agreement contains customary covenants that could restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk’s assets, and restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain the financial covenants. The line of credit is syndicated with various financial institutions, including Citicorp USA, Inc., an affiliate of Citibank, which is one of the lead lenders and agent. At October 31, 2011, Autodesk had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit. This facility expires in May 2016. |

| Restructuring Reserve |
During fiscal 2011, fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 Autodesk initiated restructuring plans (“Fiscal 2011 Plan,” “Fiscal 2010 Plan” and “Fiscal 2009 Plan,” respectively) in order to further reduce operating costs. These restructuring plans resulted in targeted global staff reductions of approximately 200, 430, and 700 positions for fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No leased facilities were consolidated as part of the Fiscal 2011 Plan. The Fiscal 2010 Plan and Fiscal 2009 Plan resulted in the consolidation of 32 and 27 leased facilities, respectively. In connection with our restructuring plans, we recorded a favorable adjustment for changes in previous estimates during the nine months ended October 31, 2011.
The following table sets forth the restructuring activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2011.

| Commitments and Contingencies |
Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, Autodesk provides indemnifications of varying scopes, including limited product warranties and indemnification of customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products or services. Autodesk accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. In connection with the purchase, sale or license of assets or businesses with third parties, Autodesk has entered into or assumed customary indemnification agreements related to the assets or businesses purchased, sold or licensed. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. As permitted under Delaware law, Autodesk has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at Autodesk’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments Autodesk could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, Autodesk has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable Autodesk to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Autodesk believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Legal Proceedings Autodesk is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings in the normal course of business activities including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, piracy prosecution, business practices and other matters. In the Company’s opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period, however, based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any such potential loss. |

| Common Stock Repurchase Program |
Autodesk has a stock repurchase program that is used largely to help offset the dilution to net income per share caused by the issuance of stock under the Company’s employee stock plans and for such other purposes as may be in the interests of Autodesk and its stockholders, and has the effect of returning excess cash generated from the Company’s business to stockholders. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk repurchased and retired 3.5 million and 7.7 million shares at an average repurchase price of $26.93 per share and $34.21 per share, respectively. Common stock and additional paid-in capital and retained earnings were reduced by $67.4 million and $26.9 million, respectively, during the three months ended October 31, 2011, as a result of the stock repurchases. Common stock and additional paid-in capital and retained earnings were reduced by $171.9 million and $91.8 million, respectively, during the nine months ended October 31, 2011. At October 31, 2011, 16.7 million shares remained available for repurchase under repurchase plans approved by the Board of Directors. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, Autodesk repurchased its common stock through open market purchases. The number of shares acquired and the timing of the purchases are based on several factors, including general market conditions, the number of employee stock option exercises, stock issuance, the trading price of Autodesk common stock, cash on hand and available in the United States, and company defined trading windows. |

| Net Income Per Share |
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, including restricted stock awards and excluding stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of stock options and restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted net income per share amounts:
The computation of diluted net income per share does not include shares that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method because their exercise prices are higher than the average market value of Autodesk’s stock during the period. For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, 22.8 million and 20.2 million potentially anti-dilutive shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of net income per share. For the nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, 11.9 million and 19.9 million potentially anti-dilutive shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of net income per share. |

| Segments |
Autodesk reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. Autodesk has four reportable segments: Platform Solutions and Emerging Business (“PSEB”), Architecture, Engineering and Construction (“AEC”), Manufacturing (“MFG”) and Media and Entertainment (“M&E”). Autodesk has no material inter-segment revenue. The PSEB, AEC and MFG segments derive revenue from the sale of licenses for software products and services to customers who design, build, manage or own building, manufacturing and infrastructure projects. Our M&E segment derives revenue from the sale of products to creative professionals, post-production facilities and broadcasters for a variety of applications, including feature films, television programs, commercials, music and corporate videos, interactive game production, web design and interactive web streaming. PSEB includes Autodesk’s design product, AutoCAD. Autodesk’s AutoCAD product is a platform product that underpins the Company’s design product offerings for the industries it serves. For example, AEC and MFG offer tailored versions of AutoCAD software for the industries they serve. Autodesk’s AutoCAD product also provides a platform for Autodesk’s developer partners to build custom solutions for a range of diverse design-oriented markets. PSEB’s revenue primarily includes revenue from sales of licenses of Autodesk’s design products, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, as well as the Autodesk Design Suite and many other design products. AEC software products help to improve the way building, civil infrastructure, process plant and construction projects are designed, built and managed. A broad portfolio of solutions enables greater efficiency, accuracy and sustainability across the entire project lifecycle. Autodesk AEC solutions include advanced technology for BIM, AutoCAD-based design and documentation productivity software, sustainable design analysis applications, and collaborative project management solutions. BIM, an integrated process for building and infrastructure design, analysis, documentation and construction, uses consistent, coordination information to improve communication and collaboration between the extended project team. AEC provides a comprehensive portfolio of BIM solutions that help customers deliver projects faster and more economically, while minimizing environmental impact. AEC’s revenue primarily includes revenue from the sales of licenses of Autodesk Revit family suites, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD Map 3D products.
MFG provides the manufacturers in automotive and transportation, industrial machinery, consumer products and building products with comprehensive digital prototyping solutions that bring together design data from all phases of the product development process to develop a single digital model created in Autodesk Inventor software. Autodesk’s solutions for digital prototyping enable a broad group of manufacturers to realize benefits with minimal disruption to existing workflows. MFG’s revenue primarily includes revenue from the sales of licenses of Autodesk Inventor family suites, AutoCAD Mechanical and Autodesk Moldflow products. M&E is comprised of two product groups: Animation, including design visualization, and Creative Finishing. Animation products, such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya and the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite, provide tools for digital sculpting, modeling, animation, effects, rendering and compositing, for design visualization, visual effects and games production. Creative Finishing products provide editing, finishing and visual effects design and color grading. All of Autodesk’s reportable segments distribute their respective products primarily through authorized resellers and distributors and, to a lesser extent, through direct sales to end-users. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Autodesk evaluates each segment’s performance on the basis of gross profit. Autodesk currently does not separately accumulate and report asset information by segment, except for goodwill, which is disclosed in Note 10, “Goodwill.” Information concerning the operations of Autodesk’s reportable segments is as follows:
Information regarding Autodesk’s operations by geographic area is as follows:

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy | Autodesk assigns goodwill to the reportable segment associated
with each business combination, and tests goodwill for impairment
annually in its fourth fiscal quarter or more often if
circumstances indicate a potential impairment. When assessing
goodwill for impairment, Autodesk uses discounted cash flow models
that include assumptions regarding reportable segments’
projected cash flows (“Income Approach”) and
corroborates it with the estimated consideration that the Company
would receive if there were to be a sale of the reporting segment
(“Market Approach”). Variances in these assumptions
could have a significant impact on Autodesk’s conclusion as
to whether goodwill is impaired or the amount of any impairment
charge. Impairment charges, if any, result from instances where the
fair values of net assets associated with goodwill are less than
their carrying values. |

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

An equity security represents an ownership interest in an enterprise or the right to acquire or dispose of an ownership interest in an enterprise at fixed or determinable prices. Equity securities include, among other things, common stock, certain preferred stock, warrant rights, call options, and put options, but do not include convertible debt. An entity may opt to provide the reader with additional narrative text to better understand the nature of investments in debt and equity securities which are categorized as Available-for-sale.

- Definition
The estimated measure of the percentage by which a share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. Volatility also may be defined as a probability-weighted measure of the dispersion of returns about the mean.
