The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the effect of inter-company balances and transactions has been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2008.

Reclassification—Beginning in 2008 and for all years reported, the Company has reclassified and separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows its investments in and cash flows associated with short-term investments in certificates of deposit placed with its commercial bank in India. These certificates of deposit have maturities in a 12 to 120 months range. The aggregate amount of these short-term investments was $477 thousand and $1.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and the net cash inflows (outflows) arising from these investments was $1.1 million and ($4.3) million for the three months ended March 31 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Short-term Investments—The Company’s short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits with established commercial banking institutions with readily determinable fair values. These certificates of deposit have maturities periods ranging from 12 to 120 months, with a weighted average maturity period of approximately 13 months at March 31, 2009. Ebix accounts for investments that are reasonably expected to be realized in cash, sold or consumed during the year as short-term investments that are available-for-sale. The carrying amount of investments in marketable securities approximates fair value at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The carrying value of our short-term investments was $477 thousand and $1.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company believes the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, line of credit and letters of credit is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short maturity of these items and/or their fluctuating interest rates.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue—The Company derives its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems, subscription and transaction fees related to services delivered over our exchanges or on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis, fees for hosting software, fees for software license maintenance and registration, business process outsourcing revenue, and the licensing of proprietary and third-party software. Sales and value-added taxes are not included in revenues, but rather are recorded as a liability until the taxes assessed are remitted to the respective taxing authorities.

The Company considers revenue earned and realizable when (a) persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, provided that the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (b) delivery or performance has occurred, (c) customer acceptance has been received, if contractually required, and, (d) collectability of the arrangement fee is probable. The Company uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Revenue is recorded net of sales tax, as these taxes are recognized as a liability upon billing.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2),” as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions, (SOP 98-9)” to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement. For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21), which provides criteria governing how to determine whether goods or services that are delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be considered as separate units of accounting for the purpose of revenue recognition. Deliverables are accounted for separately if they meet all of the following criteria: a) the delivered items has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; b) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items; and c) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, the delivery or performance of the undelivered items is probable and substantially controlled by the seller. To the extent arrangements contain multiple deliverables, the Company performs an analysis of the nature of the deliverables to determine to what extent the deliverables of the arrangement are governed by any “higher level literature” (as defined in EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 recognizes arrangements that qualify for treatment under SOP 97-2 and certain arrangements that qualify for contract accounting (i.e. SOP 81-1) as falling under the definition of higher level literature. In regards to arrangements containing multiple performance elements, revenue recognition on delivered elements is predicated upon the establishment of vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value for the undelivered elements and applying the residual method of SOP 98-9 if necessary. Fair value is determined for each undelivered element based on the price the Company charges when the item is sold separately.

Data exchange processing and ASP transaction services fee revenue is recognized as the transactions occur and generally billed in arrears. Service fees for hosting arrangements are recognized over the requisite service period.

Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance on Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, (SOP 81-1)” using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.

The Company begins to recognize revenue from license fees for its software products upon delivery and the customer’s acceptance of the software implementation and customizations if applicable. Revenue from third party software is derived from the licensing of third party software products in connection with sales of the Company’s software licenses and is recognized upon delivery together with the Company’s licensed software products. Training, data conversion, installation, and consulting services fees are recognized as revenue when the services are performed. Revenue for maintenance and support services is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.

For business process outsourcing agreements, which include call center services, services are primarily performed on a time and material basis. Revenue is recognized when the service is performed.

In contracts that contain first year maintenance bundled with software fees, unbundling of maintenance is based on the price charged for renewal maintenance. Revenue for maintenance and support service is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement. Revenues derived from initial setup or registration fees are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition.”

Deferred revenue includes maintenance and support payments or billings that have been received or recorded prior to performance and, in certain cases, cash collections; initial setup or registration fees under hosting agreements; and amounts received under multi-element arrangements in which the VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist. In these instances revenue is recognized when the VSOE for the undelivered elements is established or when all contractual elements have been completed and delivered.

Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable is stated at invoice billed amounts net of the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, write-offs, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense was $0 thousand and $30 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable are written off to the allowance account when the Company has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts. During the three months ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 there were no accounts receivable written off.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, or SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized. We are required to test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30 each year. In analyzing goodwill for potential impairment, we use projections of future discounted cash flows from our reporting units to determine whether the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds its carrying value. Our estimates of fair value for each reporting unit are corroborated by market multiple comparables. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if a reporting unit’s fair value were to be less than its carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeded its implied value. The Company performed the annual impairment assessment, as required by SFAS No. 142 as of September 30, 2008 and it was determined that the recorded goodwill was not impaired. No impairment of goodwill was indicated based on the updated analysis.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded $3.2 million of additional goodwill in connection with the previous acquisitions of Telstra, Periculum, Acclamation, and ConfirmNet all of which occurred during the previous twelve month period.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are as follows:


	March 31,
	2009
	(In thousands)
Beginning Balance	$	88,488
Additions		3,192
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(321	)

Ending Balance	$	91,359

The Company’s indefinite-lived asset is associated with the estimated fair value of the contractual/territorial relationships existing with the property and casualty insurance carriers in Australia. These contractual/territorial rights are perpetual in nature and, therefore, the useful lives are considered indefinite. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually. In accordance with SFAS 142, we are required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment of the asset value. Our annual impairment test date is September 30. We perform the impairment test for our indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the asset’s fair value to its carrying value. We estimate the fair value based on projected discounted future cash flows. An impairment charge is recognized if the asset’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying value. In connection with the acquisition of Telstra an indefinite-lived asset in the amount of $14.7 million was recorded as of January 2, 2008.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets—Purchased intangible assets represent the estimated acquisition date fair value of customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks acquired through synergistic combination of the business that we acquire in the U.S. and foreign countries in which operate. We amortize these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:


	Life
Category	(yrs)
Customer relationships		4–20
Developed technology		3–7
Trademarks		5–10

The carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:


	March 31,			December 31,
	2009			2008
	(In thousands)
Intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	11,364		$	11,373

Total intangibles		16,915			16,931

Intangibles, net	$	9,765		$	10,235

Indefinite-lived intangibles:
Customer/territorial relationships	$	11,581		$	11,589

Income Taxes—The Company follows the asset and liability method of amounting for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109)”. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and their financial reporting amounts at each period end using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized based on the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences will be deductible.

Effective January of 2007 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 141R during the first quarter of 2009. To date it has not yet had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, since there were no acquisitions in the 1^st quarter of 2009.

Note 2. Earnings per Share

The basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), and the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for all periods presented on the consolidated statements of income have been adjusted to reflect the retroactive effect of the Company’s 3-for-1 stock split dated October 9, 2008 (see Note 13 for further explanation). Basic EPS is equal to net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration common stock equivalents which for the Company consist of stock options, restricted stock, and convertible debt. With respect to stock options, diluted EPS is calculated as if the Company had additional common stock outstanding from the beginning of the year or the date of grant or issuance, net of assumed repurchased shares using the treasury stock method. With respect to convertible debt, diluted EPS is calculated as if the debt instrument had been converted at the beginning of the reporting period or the date of issuance, whichever is later. Diluted EPS is equal to net income plus interest expense on convertible debt, divided by the combined sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. At March 31, 2009 and 2008 there were 361,872 and 361,392, respectively, shares potentially issuable with respect to stock options which could dilute EPS in the future but which was excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because presently their effect is anti-dilutive.

To calculate diluted earnings per share, interest related to convertible debt of $163 thousand and $125 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively was added back to net income.

The Company’s short term debt consists of a $25.0 million revolving line of credit facility with Bank of America Corporation. The line provides for a variable interest rate at Libor plus 1.3%, is secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, and expires in August 2009. The underlying loan and security agreement contains certain financial covenants related to profitability, current assets, and debt coverage to which the Company is in compliance. There have been no events of default.

There were no repayments or borrowings on the line of credit during the first quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2009 the outstanding balance on the line was $24.9 million and the facility carried an interest rate of 1.8%.

During the year ending December 31, 2008 the Company borrowed $9.3 million from the revolving line of credit facility, and at year end 2008 the balance on the credit facility was $24.9 million.

Note 4: Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate—The effective income tax rate was 4.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to 5.22% for the same period in 2008. The Company’s interim period income tax provisions are based on our current estimate of the effective income tax rates applicable to the related annual twelve month period, after considering discrete items unique to the respective interim reporting period. Our effective tax rate for 2009 has decreased slightly due to the change in the mix of taxable income amongst the various domestic and foreign countries, including certain low tax rate foreign jurisdictions, in which the Company conducts operations. Reported income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are also lower due to a reduction in the provision for unrecognized tax benefits, which is detailed further below.

In the United States the Company’s effective federal income tax rate is reduced because of the use of available net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards used to partially offset taxable income. At March 31, 2009, the Company has remaining available domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $39 million (net of approximately $3.9 million utilized to reduce the current period’s taxable income), which are available to offset future federal and certain state income taxes. A portion of these NOLs will expire during each of the years 2009 through 2020. A full valuation allowance currently exists against the Company’s accumulated domestic net operating loss carryforwards because of uncertainty as to the expectation of future taxable income in the United States and the lack of availability of effective tax planning strategies. Changes in the valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Company’s future effective tax rate.

Currently, in India the Company’s local taxable income, other than passive interest and rental income, is subject to a tax holiday. The tax holiday is scheduled to expire in 2010. The Company’s operations in India are also subject to the 11.33% Minimum Alternative Tax (“MAT”). For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 the Company’s MAT liability was $396 thousand. The tax paid under the MAT provisions is carried forward for a period of seven years and set off against future tax liabilities computed under the regular corporate income tax provisions, for which the current income tax rate is 33.99%. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2009 includes a long-term deferred tax asset in the amount of $1.6 million.

FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”—The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007 “FIN 48.” As of March 31, 2009 the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes a liability of $717 thousand for unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:


	(in thousands)
Balance at January 1, 2009	$	914

Additions for tax positions related to current year	$	52
Additions for tax positions of prior years	$	—
Reductions for tax position of prior years	$	(249	)

Balance at March 31, 2009	$	717

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments—The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates ranging through 2015, with various renewal options. Capital leases range from three to five years and are primarily for computer equipment. There were multiple assets under various individual capital leases at March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Rental expense for office facilities and certain equipment subject to operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $596 thousand and $556 thousand, respectively. Sublease income was $35 thousand and $54 thousand, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Contingencies—The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Self Insurance—For most of the Company’s U.S. employees the Company is currently self-insured for its health insurance and has a stop loss policy that limits the individual liability to $100 thousand per person and the aggregate liability to 125% of the expected claims based upon the number of participants and historical claims. As of March 31, 2009, the amount accrued on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $124 thousand. The maximum potential estimated cumulative liability for the annual contract period, which ends in September 2009, is $1.2 million.

Note 8: Acquisitions

The acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquiring entity in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Certain acquisitions included earnout provisions which are recorded as a component of goodwill when the earnout is determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.

2008 Acquisitions

ConfirmNet Corporation—Effective November 1, 2008 Ebix acquired ConfirmNet Corporation (“ConfirmNet”) a provider of insurance certificate creation and tracking services. The Company paid ConfirmNet shareholders $7.36 million for all of ConfirmNet’s stock, and ConfirmNet shareholders earned an additional $3.1 million in additional consideration which was paid during the first quarter of 2009 and retain the right to earn up to an additional $3.0 million, which is currently considered contingent, at the one year anniversary date of the acquisition if certain revenue targets of the ConfirmNet division of Ebix are met. The results of operation for ConfirmNet, which is a component of our BPO channel, are included in the Company’s reported net income since the fourth quarter of 2008. Ebix financed this acquisition using available cash balances. The purchase price allocation for the ConfirmNet acquisition is not complete because the Company is in the process of developing a valuation of the respective identifiable intangible and tangible assets.

Acclamation Systems, Inc.—Effective August 1, 2008 Ebix acquired Acclamation Systems, Inc (“Acclamation”) a developer of supplier software and e-commerce solutions to the health insurance industry. The Company acquired all of the stock of Acclamation for a payment of $22 million in cash and additional future payments of up to $3.0 million, which is currently considered contingent, over a two year period subsequent to the effective date of the acquisition if certain customer revenue targets for Ebix’s Health Benefits division are achieved. The Company also incurred approximately $85 thousand of costs primarily consisting of legal, accounting, due diligence, and filing fees directly related to the closing of the acquisition. Ebix financed this acquisition with a combination of $15 million of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and $7 million of available cash reserves. The operating results of Acclamation, which is a component of our Exchange channel, have been included in the Company’s reported net income beginning in the third quarter of 2008.

Periculum Services Group—Effective April 28, 2008 Ebix acquired Periculum Services Group (“Periculum”) a provider of certificate of insurance tracking services. The Company acquired all of the stock of Periculum for a payment of $1.1 million and additional consideration of $200 thousand which was paid in April 2009. Ebix financed this acquisition using available cash. The operating results of Periculum, which is a component of our BPO channel, have been included in the Company’s reported net income beginning in the second quarter of 2008. The purchase price allocation for the Periculum acquisition is not complete because the Company is in the process of developing a valuation of the respective identifiable intangible and tangible assets.

Telstra eBusiness Services—Effective January 2, 2008 Ebix acquired Telstra eBusiness Services (“Telstra”) an insurance exchange located in Melbourne, Australia. The Company purchased all of the stock of Telstra for a payment of Australian $50.0 million (US $43.9 million). Telstra was a wholly owned subsidiary of Telstra Services Solutions Holding Limited. The Company also incurred approximately $368 thousand of expenses primarily consisting of legal, accounting, due diligence, and filing fees directly related to the closing of the acquisition. Ebix financed this acquisition with a combination of $1.6 million of available cash reserves, $16.5 million from the Company’s line of credit, $20.0 million of convertible debt, and $5.7 million from sales of the Company’s common stock. The operating results of Telstra have been included in the Company’s reported net income since the first quarter of 2008. The acquisition also gave rise to the elimination of certain personnel of Telstra and as a result and in accordance with the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” the Company recognized a liability of $198 thousand related to this elimination of personnel that was undertaken as part of the final integration plan that was implemented immediately after the closing of the acquisition. The Company completed its purchase price allocation and the valuation of the respective acquired intangible assets with the assistance of independent third party valuation experts. As a result, the Company recognized an indefinite-life intangible and associated estimated fair value with respect to the contractual/territorial relationships existing with the property and casualty insurance carriers in Australia. These contractual/territorial rights are perpetual in nature and, therefore, the useful lives are considered indefinite. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually. In summary the Company recorded an indefinite-life intangible asset with respect to the insurance carriers in the amount of $14.9 million, definite lived intangible assets with respect to acquired customer relationships in the amount of $2.6 million (with an estimated useful life of 20 years), and acquired developed technology in the amount of $523 thousand (with an estimated useful life of 3 years).

Company Overview

The Company derives its revenues from professional and support services, which includes revenue generated from software development projects and associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems, subscription and transaction fees related to services delivered over our exchanges or on an application service provider (“ASP”) basis, fees for hosting software, fees for software license maintenance and registration, business process outsourcing revenue, and the licensing of proprietary and third-party software.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 our operating revenue increased $4.0 million or 24%, to $20.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $16.6 million during the first quarter of 2008. The increase in our first quarter 2009 revenue as compared to the first quarter of 2008 is a the result of a $2.6 million increase in our health insurance exchange division revenues, a $1.5 million increase in our annuity and life insurance exchange division revenues , and a $1.7 million increase in BPO division revenues, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in our property and casualty insurance exchange revenues primarily due to the effect of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates effecting reported results.

Cost of Services Provided

Costs of services provided, which includes costs associated with support, call center, consulting, implementation and training services, increased $1.2 million or 44%, from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. This increase is attributable to additional personnel and facility costs in our BPO division in the amount of $808 thousand primarily associated with our recent acquisitions of Periculum and ConfirmNet, and $602 thousand of similarly related cost increases in support of our health insurance exchange division operations. As a percentage of revenues, our costs of services provided increased to 19.8% in the first quarter of 2009 from 17.1% in same period of 2008.

Product Development expenses

Product development expenses increased $334 thousand or 15%, from $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2008 to $2.5 million during the first quarter of 2009. This increase is primarily due to costs associated with new product development activities in support of our health insurance exchange division operations. Overall our consolidated product development expenses, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 12.1% in the first quarter of 2009 from 13.0% in the same period of 2008.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $287 thousand or 34%, from $847 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. This increase is primarily attributable additional personnel and commission related costs in our BPO division in the amount of $196 thousand, and $106 thousand of similarly related cost increases in support of our health insurance exchange division operations. As a percentage of revenues, our sales and marketing costs increased slightly to 5.5% in the first quarter of 2009 from 5.1% in the same period of 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative modestly increased by $27 thousand from $3.82 million during the first quarter of 2008 to $3.84 million during the first quarter of 2009. $546 thousand of net reductions in administrative personnel and consulting related expenses, were offset by a $344 thousand increase in fees for audit and legal services and $193 thousand of increases in discretionary share-based and performance related compensation costs. Overall our consolidated general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 18.6% in the first quarter of 2009 from 22.9% in the same period of 2008.

Amortization and Depreciation Expenses

Amortization and depreciation expenses decreased $75 thousand or 9.2%, from $819 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 to $744 thousand in the first quarter of 2009. This net decrease in amortization and depreciation expenses is primarily due to the completion of the amortization of the customer relationships intangible asset in connection with our acquisition of Heart in July 2004 which reduced amortization expense by $61 thousand, and in connection with our January 2008 acquisition of Telstra, the reclassification of a portion of the purchase price associated with the contractual/territorial relationships existing with the property and casualty insurance carriers in Australia to an indefinite life intangible asset which reduced amortization expense by $122 thousand; partially offsetting these amortization expense reductions is a $96 thousand increase in amortization expense related to intangible assets associated with our April 2008 acquisition of Periculum, August 2008 acquisition of Acclamation, and November 2008 acquisition of ConfirmNet.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $196 thousand which is a $116 thousand or 37% decrease compared to the $312 thousand recognized in the same period in 2008. The Company’s interim period income tax provisions are based on our estimate of the effective income tax rates applicable to related annual twelve month period, after considering discrete items uniquely related to the respective interim reporting period. The effective tax rate utilized in the first quarter of 2009 was 4.7% which is slightly down from the 5.2% for the same period in 2008 due to the change in the mix of taxable income amongst the various domestic and foreign countries, including certain low tax rate foreign jurisdictions, in which the Company conducts operations. Reported income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are also lower due to a $249 thousand reduction in the provision for unrecognized tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to generate significant cash flows from operating activities is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Our principal sources of liquidity are the cash flows provided by our operating activities, our revolving credit facility, and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Due to the effect of temporary or timing differences resulting from the differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes and minimum alternative tax obligations in India, future cash outlays for income taxes are expected to substantially exceed current income tax expense but will not adversely impact the Company’s liquidity position. We intend to utilize cash flows generated by our ongoing operating activities, in combination with renewing our revolving credit facility and the issuance of equity securities to fund capital expenditures and organic growth initiatives, to make acquisitions, and to retire outstanding indebtedness.

We believe that anticipated cash flows provided by our operating activities, together with current cash and cash equivalent balances and access to our credit facilities and the capital markets, if required and available, will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for the next twelve months, and the foreseeable future thereafter, although any projections of future cash needs, cash flows, and the condition of the capital markets in general, as to the availability of debt and equity financing, are subject to substantial uncertainty. In the event additional liquidity needs arise, we may raise funds from a combination of sources, including the potential issuance of debt or equity securities.

Our revolving line of credit, which had a current balance of $24.9 million, will mature in August 2009, and the first convertible note with Whitebox VSC, Ltd., which has current balance of $5.9 million as of May 7, 2009, will mature in December 2009. We expect to renegotiate a new revolving credit facility with a major commercial banking institution at relatively favorable market terms during the 2^nd quarter. We expect that Whitebox will continue to convert principal balances on the convertible note into shares of our common stock as the year progresses. If favorable terms can be negotiated and if the capital market conditions are appropriate, we may seek to pre-pay any remaining balance on the Whitebox convertible notes prior to their maturity.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $11.8 million and $9.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased during the quarter primarily as a result of the cash generated from our operating activities.

Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company generated $7.8 million of net cash flow from our ongoing operating activities. The primary components of the cash provided by operations for the quarter consisted of net income of $8.4 million, net of $743 thousand of depreciation and amortization, $(1.5) million of working capital requirements, and $243 thousand of non-cash compensation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company generated $3.6 million of net cash flow from operating activities. The major sources of cash provided by operating activities for during the first quarter of 2008 was net income of $5.7 million, net of $819 thousand of depreciation and amortization, $(3.0) million of working capital requirements $100 thousand of non-cash compensation.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $3.8 million, of which $1.0 million was used to fulfill an earn-out payment obligation to the former shareholders of IDS (a November 2007 business acquisition), $3.1 million was used to fulfill an earn-out payment obligation to the former shareholders of ConfirmNet (a November 2008 business acquisition), and $727 thousand was used for capital expenditures pertaining to the enhancement of our technology platforms and the purchases of operating equipment. Partially offsetting these uses of cash resources for investment related purposes was the $1.1 million of cash provided from the maturities of marketable securities (specifically bank certificates of deposit).

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $47.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, of which $43.0 million was used for the January 2008 acquisition of Telstra (net of $944 thousand of cash acquired), $4.3 million was used to purchase marketable securities (principally certificates of deposit with a major commercial banking institution), and $181 thousand was used for capital expenditures pertaining to the enhancement of our technology platforms and the purchases of operating equipment. The Telstra acquisition was financed with a combination of $1.6 million of available cash reserves, $16.5 million from the Company’s line of credit, $20.0 million of convertible debt, and $5.7 million from sales of the Company’s common stock.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company used $1.1 million for financing activities. This financing outflow for the quarter was comprised of $507 thousand used to complete open market repurchases of our common stock and $623 thousand was used to service existing long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $4.1 million. During the first quarter of 2008 the Company borrowed $4.3 million from its revolving line of credit for operating and working capital needs. Also during the quarter the Company used $495 thousand to service existing long-term debt and capital lease obligations, and received $271 thousand from the exercise of outstanding vested common stock options.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has maintained a $25 million revolving line of credit facility with Bank of America Corporation that matures on August 31, 2009. The interest rate on the credit facility is Libor plus 1.30%. At March 31, 2009 the balance on the line of credit was $24.9 million with an effective interest rate was 1.8%, thereby leaving $100 thousand available under the facility. The underlying loan and security agreement contains certain financial covenants related to profitability, current assets, and debt coverage to which the Company is in compliance. There have been no events of default.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in off -balance sheet financing arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information about new accounting pronouncements and the potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Form 10-K.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” sections of Note 1 to this Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements, in our 2008 Form 10-K describe the pertinent accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ materially from our estimates. We have considered how the acquisitions of Telstra eBusniess Services and Acclamation Systems, Inc. has affected our critical accounting policies and concluded that they have not had a significant impact on our critical accounting policies. We have also expanded our discussion of our accounting for income taxes to include our adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 “Revenue Recognition” and therefore we consider revenue earned and realizable when (a) persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, provided that the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (b) delivery or performance has occurred, (c) customer acceptance has been received, if contractually required, and, (d) collectability of the arrangement fee is probable. The Company typically uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Sales and value-added taxes are not included in revenues, but rather are recorded as a liability until the taxes assessed are remitted to the respective taxing authorities.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition (SOP 97-2),” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions” to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement. For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21), individual contractual deliverables are accounted for separately if (a) the delivered items has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;(b) there is vendor-specific objective and reliable evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered items; and, (c) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, the delivery or performance of the undelivered items is probable and substantially in our control. Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance on Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, (SOP 81-1)” using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.

The Company begins to recognize revenue from license fees for its application software products upon delivery and the customer’s acceptance of the software implementation and customizations if applicable. Revenue from third party software is derived from the licensing of third party software products in connection with sales of the Company’s software licenses and is recognized upon delivery together with the Company’s licensed software products. Training, data conversion, installation, and consulting services fees are recognized as revenue when the services are performed. Revenue for maintenance and support services is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement. Revenues derived from initial setup or registration fees are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement in accordance with SAB 104. ASP transaction services fee revenue is recognized as the transactions occur and generally billed in arrears. Service fees for hosting arrangements are recognized over the requisite service period.

Deferred revenue includes maintenance and support payments or billings that have been received or recorded prior to performance and, in certain cases, cash collections; initial setup or registration fees under hosting agreements; software license fees received in advance of delivery, acceptance, and/or completion of the earnings process; and amounts received under multi-element arrangements in which the VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist. In these instances revenue is recognized when the VSOE for the undelivered elements is established or when all contractual elements have been completed and delivered.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, write-offs, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Valuation of Goodwill

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142)” which addresses how goodwill and other acquired intangible assets should be accounted for in financial statements. In this regard we test these intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment are present. These events or circumstances would include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The testing involves comparing the reporting unit and asset carrying values to their respective fair values; we determine fair value by using the present value of future estimated net cash flows.

In analyzing goodwill for potential impairment, we use projections of future discounted cash flows to determine each reporting unit’s fair value. These projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, anticipated future economic conditions and the appropriate discount rates relative to risk and estimates of residual values. We believe that our estimates are consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Our estimates of fair value for each reporting unit are corroborated by market multiple comparables. The use of different estimates or assumptions within our projected discounted cash flows (e.g., growth rates, future economic conditions, discount rates and estimates of terminal values) when determining the fair value of our reporting units could result in different values and may result in a goodwill impairment charge. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances. For additional information about goodwill. See Note 1 of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in our 2008 annual report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109).” As part of the process of preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We then assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. The Company has not provided deferred U.S. taxes on its unremitted foreign earnings because it considers them to be permanently re-invested.

We currently maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s accumulated domestic net operating loss carryforwards because management believes it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset may not be realizable due to uncertainties as to the generation of future taxable income in the United States and the lack of available tax-planning strategies.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation adjustments are included as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in other than the subsidiary’s functional currency is included in the determination of net income.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates risk is related our foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of those currencies. Most of the Company’s operations are based in the U.S. and, accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, however, the Company has operations in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and India, and we conduct transactions in the local currencies of each location. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, revenues or financial condition. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 the net change in the cumulative foreign currency translation account, which is a component of stockholders’ equity, was an unrealized gain(loss) of $(1.2) million and $1.9 million respectively. The Company considered the historical trends in currency exchange rate and determined that it was reasonably possible that adverse changes in our respective foreign currency exchange rates of 20% could be experienced in the near term. Such an adverse change in currency exchange rates would have resulted in reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $650 thousand and $445 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates to its interest expense on outstanding debt obligations and to its interest income on existing cash balances. As of March 31, 2009 the Company had $51.7 million of outstanding debt obligations which consisted of a $25.0 million balance on our revolving line of credit, the $11.5 million and $15.0 million remaining balances on our convertible promissory notes with Whitebox VSC, Ltd., and a $150 thousand balance on the note payable to AON in connection with the 2008 acquisition of Confirmnet. The interest rate on Whitebox convertible notes is fixed at 2.5% and the Confirmnet note is non-interest bearing, therefore these instruments present no risk as to exposures to financial market fluctuations. The Company’s revolving line of credit bears interest at the rate of LIBOR + 1.3%, and interest rate stood at 1.8% at March 31, 2008. The Company is exposed to market risk in relation to this line of credit in regards to the potential increase to interest expense arising from adverse changes in interest rates. This interest rate risk is estimated as the potential decrease in earnings resulting from a hypothetical 30% increase in the LIBOR rate. Such an adverse change in the LIBOR rate would have resulted in a reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $9 thousand and $60 thousand for the three ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The Company’s average cash balances during the first quarter of 2009 was $10.7 million and its existing cash balances as of March 31, 2009 was $11.8 million. The Company is exposed to market risk in relation to these cash balances in regards to the potential loss of interest income arising from adverse changes in interest rates. This interest rate risk is estimated as the potential decrease in earnings resulting from a hypothetical 20% decrease in interest rates earned on deposited funds. Such an adverse change in these interest rates would have resulted in a reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $11 thousand and $13 thousand for the three ending March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

The Company does not currently use any derivative financial instruments.
