  (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
     Blackbaud, Inc. (“Blackbaud” or the “Company”) announced on May 9, 2007 that during the preparation of the Company’s Form 10-Q, the Company determined that SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”) was misapplied in connection with reporting its consolidated financial position and results of operations as of and for the period ended December 31, 2006. The Company has elected to restate its consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and to reflect the impact of this error correction, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, in its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007.
     The Company has historically recognized maintenance and subscription revenue using a monthly convention rather than on an actual days basis. The effect on the income statements of the difference between these two methods has been evaluated in the past and it was concluded that the impact was immaterial. The Company has determined that at December 31, 2006, it should have recorded a one-time adjustment to its retained earnings, under SAB 108, to correct for the cumulative impact of using the actual days method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this misapplication on its internal controls and procedures.
     The Company has undertaken a rigorous review process to address the potential adjustments that are required. In connection with this process, the Company is evaluating its maintenance and subscription agreements in accordance with the requirements of SAB 108. Due to the amount of time and complexity involved in this review, the Company has not completed their work and therefore is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by the required filing date. The Company is focused on resolving these issues as quickly as possible and anticipates filing its Form 10-Q on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date according to Rule 12b-25.
