Then on February 29, 2012, JDA Software Group Inc that it was unable to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 by the February 29, 2012 deadline due to its review of its revenue recognition policies for certain past years in connection with the previously disclosed inquiry from the SEC.
