Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with the effect of inter-company balances and transactions eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC rules have been condensed or omitted as permitted by and pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2012 balance sheet included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instrument—The Company follows the relevant GAAP guidance concerning fair value measurements which provides a consistent framework to define, measure, and disclose the fair value of assets and liabilities in financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. This guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective data from external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable.
•
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments to the reporting entity at the measurement date
•
Level 2 Inputs - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs, which are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and used in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and wherein the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk.

Table of Contents


     A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2013 the Company had the following financial instruments to which it had to consider fair values and had to make fair assessments:
•
Common share-based put option for which the fair value was measured as a Level 2 instrument.
•
Short-term investments for which the fair values are measured as a Level 1 instrument.
•
Contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities for which fair values are measured as Level 3 instruments. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2013 but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, capital lease obligations, and debt under the revolving line of credit and term loans with Citibank. The estimated fair value of such instruments at June 30, 2013 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
Additional information regarding the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented in the following table:

(a) In connection with the acquisition of PlanetSoft effective June 1, 2012, Ebix issued a put option to the PlanetSoft's three shareholders. The put option, which expires in June 2014, is exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the two-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell the underlying 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock they received as part of the purchase consideration, back to the Company at a price of $16.86 per share, which represents a 10% discount off of the per-share value established on the effective date of the closing of Ebix's acquisition of PlanetSoft. A portion of the total purchase consideration was allocated to this put liability based on its initial fair value, which was determined to be $1.4 million using a Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in the valuation of the put option include term, stock price volatility, current stock price, exercise price, and the risk free rate of return.
(b) The income valuation approach is applied and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments.
* During the three months ended June 30, 2013 there were no transfers between fair value Levels 1, 2 or 3.
    
For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the six months ending June 30, 2013:

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are projected revenue forecasts developed by the Company's management and the probability of achievement of those revenue forecasts. The discount rate used in these calculations is 1.75%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly (lower) higher fair value measurement.
Revenue Recognition—The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription and transaction fees pertaining to services delivered over our exchanges or from our ASP platforms, fees for business process outsourcing services, and fees for software development projects including associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems. 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.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) and SEC accounting guidance on revenue recognition, 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. We apply the provisions of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles related 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 the relevant technical accounting guidance, 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. Generally these types of arrangements include deliverables pertaining to software licenses, system set-up, and professional services associated with product customization or modification. Delivery of the various contractual elements typically occurs over periods of less than eighteen months. These arrangements generally do not have refund provisions or have very limited refund terms.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by FASB 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.
Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable—Reported accounts receivable include $28.8 million of trade receivables stated at invoice billed amounts net of the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, and $9.7 million of unbilled receivables. Approximately $4.4 million deferred revenue is included in billed accounts receivable at June 30, 2013. The Company recognized and recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $527 thousand for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and $50 thousand and $316 thousand for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The bad debt expenses that was recognized during the recent quarterly period pertained to significant increases in the aging of certain specific customer receivables within our PlanetSoft, ADAM, and Singapore operations. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance account when the Company has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the fair value of acquired contractual customer relationships for which future cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely. In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested 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 likely have reduced the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. The impairment evaluation process involves an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we were to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would not perform the two-step quantitative impairment testing described further below.
The aforementioned two-step quantitative testing process involves comparing the reporting unit carrying values to their respective fair values; we determine fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method using the present value of future estimated net cash flows. 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

13
Table of Contents

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. Projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, operating costs, 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. The use of different estimates or assumptions for 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. We perform our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and testing as of September 30th of each year. This evaluation is done during the fourth quarter each year. During the year ended December 31, 2012 we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are reflected in the following table. Goodwill increased during this period due to one business acquisition that was made in April.

Amortization expense recognized in connection with acquired intangible assets was $1.8 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $1.4 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Foreign Currency Translation-Historically the functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in India and Singapore had been the Indian rupee and Singapore dollar, respectively. As a result of the Company's rapid growth, including its acquisition of PlanetSoft in 2012, the expansion of its intellectual property research and development activities in its Singapore subsidiary, and its product development activities and information technology enabled services for the insurance industry provided by its India subsidiary in support of Ebix's operating divisions across the world (both of which are transacted in U.S. dollars), management undertook a reconsideration of functional currency designations for these two foreign subsidiaries in India and Singapore, and concluded that effective July 1, 2012 the functional currency for these entities should be changed to the U.S. dollar. The Company believes that the acquisition of PlanetSoft along with the other four business acquisitions completed in 2012 during the current year combined with the cumulative effect of business acquisitions made over the last few years which necessitated the rapid growth of the Company's operations in India and Singapore, were indicative of a significant change in the economic facts and circumstances that justified the reconsideration and ultimate change in the functional currency.
The functional currency of the Company's other foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of these 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 accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency are included in the determination of net income.
Income Taxes—Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are 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.
The Company also applies FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes positions. This guidance 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. In this regard we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements—The following is a brief discussion of recently released accounting pronouncements that are pertinent to the Company's business:

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists". This accounting standard states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This accounting standards update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The accounting standards update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt this new standard in 2014, and it may have an affect on how unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for and presented in the Company's balance sheet.
    
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" (the revised standard). The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September

15
Table of Contents

15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this new standard in 2013 for use in its annual impairment evaluations of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are performed as of September of each year.
    
In September 2011, the FASB issued technical guidance regarding an entity's evaluation of goodwill for possible impairment. Under this new guidance an entity has 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, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. This new technical guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment evaluations performed as of a date before September 2011, if an entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period had not yet been issued. The Company elected to adopt this technical guidance early and accordingly applied it to the 2011 and 2012 annual impairment evaluation of goodwill.

Note 3: Business Combinations
    The Company executes accretive business acquisitions in combination with organic growth initiatives as part of its comprehensive business growth and expansion strategy. The Company looks to acquire businesses that are complementary to Ebix's existing products and services. Since June 1, 2012 the Company has completed four business acquisitions including PlanetSoft, Inc. which is considered significant and is discussed further below. The valuation and purchase price allocation for one of these acquisitions is considered preliminary and subject to change.
A significant component of the purchase price consideration for many of the Company's business acquisitions is a potential future cash earnout based on reaching certain specified future revenue targets. The Company recognizes these potential obligations as contingent liabilities as reported on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed in more detail in Note 1, these contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. During the three and six months ending June 30, 2013 these aggregate contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities, were reduced by $5.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, due to remeasurements as based on the then assessed fair value and changes in anticipated future revenue levels. As of June 30, 2013, the total of these contingent liabilities was $15.5 million, of which $9.2 million is reported in long-term liabilities, and $6.3 million is included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2012 the total of these contingent liabilities was $17.5 million, of which $14.2 million is reported in long-term liabilities, and $3.3 million is included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Consideration paid by the Company for the businesses it purchases is 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

16
Table of Contents

of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Recognized goodwill pertains to the value of the expected synergies to be derived from combining the operations of the businesses we acquire including the value of the acquired workforce.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company received a termination fee in connection with a failed business acquisition. In this regard the Company recorded a reduction to general and administrative expense in the approximate amount of $971 thousand (net of directly related internal operating costs incurred by the Company and a portion of the fee that was paid to our investment banker).
Effective June 1, 2012 Ebix closed the merger of California based PlanetSoft, Inc. ("PlanetSoft"). Under the terms of the merger agreement the former PlanetSoft shareholders received $35.0 million cash and 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock valued at $16.86 per share or $5.0 million in the aggregate. Furthermore, under the terms of the agreement the PlanetSoft shareholders hold a put option exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the two-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell the underlying shares of common stock back to the Company at a 10% discount off of the per-share value established on the effective date of the closing of Ebix's acquisition of PlanetSoft. The initial fair value of this put option liability was determined to be $1.4 million. This put option is described in more detail in Note 7. Included in the Company's revenues as reported in its condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is $7.9 million of PlanetSoft's operating revenue. The revenue derived from PlanetSoft's operations is included in the Company's Exchange division. The Company accounted for this acquisition by recording $44.1 million of goodwill, $9.8 million of intangible assets pertaining to customer relationships, and $540 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to acquired technology. The former shareholders of PlanetSoft retain the right to earn up to an additional cash consideration if certain incremental revenue targets are achieved over the two-year anniversary date subsequent to the effective date of the acquisition. The Company has determined that the approximate fair value of this contingent consideration liability to be $10.2 million as of June 30, 2013.

The aggregated unaudited pro forma financial information pertaining to all of the Company's acquisitions made during the six months ending June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013, which includes the acquisitions of BSI, Taimma, PlanetSoft, Fintechnix, TriSystems, and Qatarlyst as presented in the table below is provided for informational purposes only and does not project the Company's expected results of operations for any future period. No effect has been given in this pro forma information for future synergistic benefits that may still be realized as a result of combining these companies or costs that may yet be incurred in integrating their operations. The 2013 and 2012 pro forma financial information below assumes that all such business acquisitions were made on January 1, 2012, whereas the Company's reported financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 only include the operating results from the businesses since the effective date that they were acquired by Ebix.

Correspondingly, the reported revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $12.0 million or 13.1% from the reported revenue during the same period in 2012.


Note 4: Debt with Commercial Bank

Table of Contents


On April 26, 2012, Ebix entered into a credit agreement providing for a $100 million secured syndicated credit facility (the “Secured Syndicated Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") as administrative agent and Citibank, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, and RBS Citizens, N.A. as joint lenders. The financing is comprised of a four-year, $45 million secured revolving credit facility, a $45 million secured term loan which amortizes over a four year period with quarterly principal and interest payments that commenced on June 30, 2012 and a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest due on April 26, 2016, and an accordion feature that provides for the expansion of the credit facility by an additional $10 million. This new $100 million credit facility with Citibank, as administrative agent, replaced the former $55 million facility that the Company had in place with Bank of America, N.A.  The initial interest rate applicable to the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 1.50% or currently 1.70%. Under the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility the maximum interest rate that could be charged depending upon the Company's leverage ratio is LIBOR plus 2.00%. The credit facility is used by the Company to fund working capital requirements primarily in support of current operations, organic growth, and accretive business acquisitions. The Company incurred $744 thousand of origination costs in connection with this new credit facility, and is amortizing these costs into interest expense over the four-year life of the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2013 the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $527 thousand of remaining deferred financing costs. The underlying financing agreement contains financial covenants regarding the Company's annualized EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio, and leverage ratio, as well as certain restrictive covenants pertaining to such matters as the incurrence of new debt, the aggregate amount of repurchases of the Company's equity shares, and the consummation of new business acquisitions. The Company currently is in compliance with all such financial and restrictive covenants.
    
At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was $32.8 million and the facility carried an interest rate of 1.70%. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $5.0 million of payments were made against the revolving line of credit with Citibank.This balance is included in the long-term liabilities section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six month period ending June 30, 2013, the average and maximum outstanding balances on the revolving line of credit were $36.4 million and $37.8 million, respectively.
    At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on the term loan was $36.8 million of which $12.4 million is due within the next twelve months. This term loan also carried an interest rate of 1.70%. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $4.1 million of scheduled payments were made against the existing term loan with Citibank. The current and long-term portions of the term loan are included in the respective current and long-term sections of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the amounts of which were $12.4 million and $24.8 million respectively at June 30, 2013.

Contingencies-Between July 14, 2011 and July 21, 2011, securities class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaints assert claims against (i) the Company and the Company's CEO and CFO for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and (ii) the Company's CEO and CFO as alleged controlling persons. The complaints generally allege false statements in earnings reports, SEC filings, press releases, and other public statements that allegedly caused the Company's stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. The New York action has been transferred to Georgia and has been consolidated with the Georgia action, now styled In re: Ebix, Inc. Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:11-CV-02400-RSW (N.D. Ga.). A Consolidated Amended Complaint (“CAC”) was filed by Plaintiffs on November 28, 2011. On January 12, 2012, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the CAC, which raised various defenses that the CAC failed to state a claim. On September 28, 2012, the Court entered an order denying the Company's Motion to Dismiss. On December 7, 2012, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Class Certification. On June 19, 2013, Defendants filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, which is presently pending. On July 2, 2013, the Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification without prejudice to Plaintiffs' refiling their Motion should the Court deny, in whole or in part, Defendants' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. On July 16, 2013, the Court entered a Stipulated Order Staying Discovery Pending Resolution of Defendants' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. In connection with this shareholder class action suit, there have been three derivative complaints brought by certain shareholders on behalf of the Company, which name certain of the Company's officers and its entire board of directors as Defendants. The first such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Paul Nauman styled Nauman v. Raina, et al., Civil Action File No. 2011-cv-205276 (Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia). The second such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Gilbert Spagnola styled Spagnola v. Bhalla, et al., Civil action No. 1:13-CV-00062-RWS (N.D. Ga.), filed January 7, 2013. The third such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City Pension Fund styled Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund v. Raina, et al., Civil Action No. 1:13-CV-00246-RWS (N.D. Ga.), filed January 23, 2013. These derivative actions are based on substantially the same factual allegations in the shareholder class action suit, but also variously

18
Table of Contents

claim breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, the wasting of corporate assets, negligence, unjust enrichment by the Company's directors, and violation of Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The Nauman case has been stayed pending the completion of expert discovery in the shareholder class action suit. On April 12, 2013, the Court entered an Order consolidating the Spagnola and Hotel derivative cases under the style In re Ebix, Inc. Derivative Litigation, File No. 1:13-CV-00062- RWS (N.D. Ga.), appointing Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund as Lead Derivative Plaintiff, and appointing the law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC as Lead Derivative Counsel and The Law Offices of David A. Bain LLC as Liaison Counsel. Lead Derivative Plaintiff filed its Consolidated Shareholder Derivative and Class Action Complaint on May 20, 2013. Thereafter, the Court entered a Consent Order on June 4, 2013, setting a schedule for Lead Derivative Plaintiff to amend its complaint in light of the anticipated preliminary proxy related to the transaction announced on May 1, 2013 with affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co. Based on the termination of the merger agreement relating to that transaction, as announced on June 19, 2013, the parties are conferring regarding future case scheduling. The Company denies any liability and intends to defend the federal and derivative actions vigorously. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome for this matter is not estimable.

On June 6, 2013, the Company was notified that the U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia had opened an investigation into allegations of intentional misconduct that had been brought to its attention from the pending shareholder class action lawsuit against the Company's directors and officers, the media and other sources. The Company is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney's office.
Following the announcement on May 1, 2013 of the execution of a merger agreement with affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co., eleven putative class action complaints challenging the proposed merger were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  These complaints name as defendants some combination of the Company, its directors, Goldman Sachs & Co and affiliated entities.  On June 10, 2013, the eleven complaints were consolidated by the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption In re Ebix, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, CA No. 8526-CS.  On June 19, 2013, the Company announced that the merger agreement had been terminated pursuant to a Termination and Settlement Agreement.  Defendants then moved to dismiss the consolidated proceeding.  Lead Plaintiffs have indicated that they intend to amend their operative complaint and an order requiring them to do so on before August 20, 2013 was entered by the Court on July 24, 2013.

The Company has been sued by Microsoft in the N.D. Ga. for alleged copyright infringement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Licensing, GP v. Ebix, Inc., Case No. 1:13-CV-01655-CAP (N.D. Ga), filed May 15, 2013. The Company has not yet been able to determine exposure as the case concerns alleged underlicensing of Microsoft software. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the case on July 10, 2013. On August 5, 2013, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint. The Company has and will continue to defend itself aggressively against Microsoft's claims.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate likely disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Lease Commitments—The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases with expiration dates ranging through 2019, 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012. Rental expense for office facilities and certain equipment subject to operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
Self Insurance—For most of the Company’s U.S. employees the Company is self-insured for its health insurance program 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 June 30, 2013, the amount accrued on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the self-insured component of the Company’s employee health insurance was $277 thousand. The maximum potential estimated cumulative liability for the annual contract period, which ends in September 2013, is $3.0 million.


Note 6: Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated world-wide effective tax rate reflects the tax benefits  of conducting operating activities in  certain foreign jurisdictions where earnings are taxed at rates lower than U.S. statutory rates and where certain components of the Company's income are exempt from taxation. Furthermore, the Company's world-wide product development operations and intellectual property ownership have been centralized into our India and Singapore subsidiaries. Our operations in India benefit from a tax holiday which will continue through 2015; and as such the income generated by our India operations, other than passive interest  income, is not taxed. After the tax holiday expires in 2015 the income generated by our India operations will be taxed at

19
Table of Contents

50% of the normal 33.99% corporate tax rate for a period of five years. The Company also has a relatively low income tax rate in Singapore in which our operations are taxed at a 10% marginal tax rate as a result of concessions granted by the local Singapore Economic Development Board for the benefit of in-country intellectual property owners. The concessionary 10% income tax rate will expire after 2015, at which time our Singapore operations will be subject to the prevailing corporate tax rate in Singapore, which is currently 17%, unless the Company reaches a subsequent agreement to extend the incentive period and the then applicable concessionary rate.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company's interim period income tax provisions are based on an estimate of the effective income tax rate expected to be applicable to the corresponding annual period, after eliminating discrete items unique to the respective interim period being reported. The estimated annual effective tax rate, net of the discrete item pertaining to the increase in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, for the second quarter of 2013 was 8.77% as compared to 10.46% for the same period in 2012. The effective rate increased primarily due to increased taxable income from jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
At June 30, 2013, the Company had remaining available domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $48.9 million which are available to offset future federal and certain state income taxes. The Company reviews its NOL positions to validate that all NOL carry-forwards will be utilized before they begin to expire in 2020.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With the exception of NOL carry-forwards, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. There is an open federal income tax audit for taxable years 2008 through 2011. In connection with this open audit, the Company has responded to a number of information requests from the IRS, but there have been no substantive discussions or identification of potential deficiencies to date. Regarding our foreign operations as of December 31, 2012, the tax years that remain open and possibly subject to examination by the tax authorities in those jurisdictions are Australia (2006 to 2012), Singapore and Brazil (2007 to 2012), New Zealand (2008 to 2012), and India (2010 to 2012).
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—The Company has applied the FASB’s accounting guidance on accounting for uncertain income tax positions. As of June 30, 2013 the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a liability of $8.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits which is included in other long-term liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 there were $2.4 million in changes to this liability. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the Company’s liability reserves for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013 approximately $766 thousand of estimated interest and penalties is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and is part of the balance of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the above table.


Note 7: Derivative Instruments
The Company periodically uses derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges under FASB accounting guidance related to the accounting for derivative instruments, to hedge the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items such as intercompany receivables. As of June 30, 2013, all of the Company's pre-existing foreign currency hedge contracts have matured. The inputs that were used in the valuation of the hedge contracts included the USD/INR foreign currency exchange spot rates in effect at the inception date of the contract, forward premiums, forward foreign currency exchange rates, terms, and contract maturity dates.
The intended purpose of these hedging instruments was to offset the income statement impact of recorded foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated intercompany invoices issued by our Indian subsidiary whose functional currency had been the Indian rupee until it was changed to the U.S. dollar effective July 1, 2012. The change in the fair value of these derivatives was recorded in foreign currency exchange gains in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income

20
Table of Contents

and was zero and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These gains are in addition to the consolidated foreign exchange gains (losses) equivalent to $(293) thousand and $1.1 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, incurred by our subsidiaries for settlement of transactions denominated in other than their functional currency. The Company classifies its foreign currency hedges, for which the fair value is remeasured on a recurring basis at each reporting date, as a Level 2 instrument (i.e. wherein fair value is determined and based on observable inputs other than quoted market prices), which we believe is the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date. This disclosure specifically pertains to the hedging instruments outstanding at March 31, 2012, rather than the current year, in that as of June 30, 2013, all of the Company's pre-existing foreign currency hedge contracts have matured and there were no such other hedging instruments outstanding on this date.
    In connection with the acquisition of PlanetSoft effective June 1, 2012, Ebix issued a put option to PlanetSoft's three shareholders. The put option, which expires in June 2014, is exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the two-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell the underlying 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock they received as part of the purchase consideration, back to the Company at a price of $16.86 per share, which represents a 10% discount off of the per-share value established on the effective date of the closing of Ebix's acquisition of PlanetSoft. In accordance with the relevant authoritative accounting literature a portion of the total purchase consideration was allocated to this put liability based on its initial fair value, which was determined to be $1.4 million using a Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in the valuation of the put option include term, stock price volatility, current stock price, exercise price, and the risk free rate of return. At June 30, 2013 the fair value of the put option liability was re-measured and was determined to have increased $1,344 thousand during the six month period then ended with this amount reflected as a loss included in other non-operating income (loss) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. As of June 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of this derivative instrument, which is included in long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $2.5 million. The Company has classified the put option, for which the fair value is re-measured on a recurring basis at each reporting date, as a Level 2 instrument (i.e. wherein fair value is partially determined and based on observable inputs other than quoted market prices), which we believe is the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine its fair value at the measurement date.

Note 8: Geographic Information

related to pet insurance to each constituent including practice management, electronic medical records, and billing. CurePet is also a customer of Ebix; during the three and six month period ending June 30, 2013 the Company recognized $553 thousand and $1.2 million of revenue from CurePet, respectively, and as of June 30, 2013 there was an $1.4 million outstanding balance due from CurePet in the Company's reported trade accounts receivable. Ebix also has a revenue share arrangement with CurePet pertaining to certain customer revenues recognized by CurePet; for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there have been no revenue sharing earned or accrued.


Note 10: Temporary Equity

The $5.0 million of temporary equity reported on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is in connection with the June 1, 2012 acquisition of PlanetSoft. As part of the consideration paid for PlanetSoft in accordance with terms of the merger agreement the former PlanetSoft shareholders received 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock valued at $16.86 per share or $5.0 million in the aggregate. In regard to these shares of Ebix common stock, and as discussed in Note 7 "Derivative Instruments," the Company issued a put option to PlanetSoft's three shareholders. The put option, which expires in June 2014, is exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the two-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell the underlying 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock they received as part of the purchase consideration, back to the Company at a price of $16.86 per share. Furthermore as per the terms of the PlanetSoft merger agreement, if Ebix consummates a merger or acquisition agreement whereby it ceases to be a public reporting company as under the SEC Exchange Act, then the put option shall become immediately exercisable. Accordingly and in compliance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480 "Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments," in that the common stock is redeemable for cash at the option of the holders, and not within control of the Company, it is presented outside of the stockholders equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is shown as a separate line referred to as "temporary equity" appearing after liabilities, and before the stockholder's equity section, and will remain so until July 2014 when either exercised or lapsed.


Note 11: Subsequent Events


On July 29, 2013 the Company made a $5.0 million payment against the revolving line of credit with Citibank, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit is now $27.8 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 our total operating revenues increased $3.3 million or 7%, to $51.0 million as compared to $47.7 million during the second quarter of 2012. The increase in revenues is a summation of revenue from business acquisitions completed during 2012 and 2013 and the continued growth achieved in our Exchange channel. Ebix Carrier and Broker System revenues increased by 41% and 8% respectively on a year over year basis. The increase in Carrier revenues are the result of a targeted emphasis on larger scale professional service projects to clients in this product channel. With regard to business acquisitions, the Company continues to immediately and efficiently leverage product cross-selling opportunities across all channels, as facilitated by our operating philosophy and business acquisition strategy. With respect to business acquisitions completed during the years 2012 and 2013 on a pro forma basis, as disclosed in the table in Note 3 “Pro Forma Financial Information” to the enclosed condensed consolidated financial statements, combined revenues decreased 5.7% for the second quarter of 2013 versus the second quarter of 2012 whereas there was a 6.9% increase in reported revenues for the same comparative period. The cause for the difference between the 6.9% increase in reported Q2 2013 revenue versus Q2 2012 revenue, as compared to the 5.7% decrease in Q2 2013 pro forma versus Q2 2012 pro forma revenue is due to the effect of combining the additional revenue derived from those businesses acquired during the years 2012 and 2013, specifically BSI, Taimma, PlanetSoft, Fintechnix, TriSystems, and Qatarlyst with the Company's pre-existing operations. The 2013 and 2012 pro forma financial information assumes that all such business acquisitions were made on January 1, 2012, whereas the Company's reported financial statements for Q2 2012 only includes the revenues from the businesses since the effective date that they were acquired by Ebix. The 2012 pro forma financial information includes a full three months of results for PlanetSoft, TriSystems, BSI, Taimma, Fintechnix, and Qatarlyst as if they had been acquired on January 1, 2012.

The above referenced pro forma table and the relative comparative change in pro forma and actual revenues are based on the following premises:

•
2012 and 2013 pro forma revenue contains actual revenue of the acquired entities before acquisition date, as reported by the sellers, as well as actual revenue of the acquired entities after acquisition. Reported growth in revenues of the acquired entities after acquisition date are only reflected for the period after their acquisition.
•
Revenue billed to existing clients from the cross selling of acquired products has been assigned to the acquired section of our business.
•
Any existing products sold to new customers acquired through the acquisition customer base, have also been assigned to the acquired section of our business.
•
2012 pro forma revenues include revenues from some product lines whose sale was discontinued after the acquisition date and revenues from some customers whose contracts were discontinued. This is typically done for efficiency and/or competitive reasons.
Cost of Services Provided
Costs of services provided, which include costs associated with maintenance, support, call center, consulting, implementation and training services, increased $1.2 million or 13%, from $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. This increase is due to additional personnel costs and professional service expenses in support of expanded revenue streams associated with our health services division, and business acquisitions made during 2012 and 2013
Product Development Expenses
The Company’s product development efforts are focused on the development of new operating technologies and services for use by insurance carriers, brokers and agents, and the development of new data exchanges for use in the domestic and international insurance markets. Product development expenses increased $0.9 million or 16% from $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2012 to $6.7 million during the second quarter of 2013. This increase is attributable to additional personnel costs associated with increased software and system development activities at India operating centers in support of further revenue growth for the Company.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $469 thousand or 11%, from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. This decrease is due to less trade show expenses and a temporary net reduction in sales and marketing personnel.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 4% from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. General and administrative expenses for second quarter of 2013 include a benefit of $(5.8) million resulting from the net reduction of earnout contingent liabilities with respect to certain prior business acquisitions. Also impact general and administrative expenses for the quarter were legal expenses primarily related to the earlier planned merger with Goldman Sachs and the terminations thereof, and certain other unique operating expenses.
Amortization and Depreciation Expenses
Amortization and depreciation expenses increased $387 thousand or 18%, from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2013. This increase is due to $455 thousand of additional amortization costs associated with the customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the business acquisitions of PlanetSoft, Fintechnix, TriSystems, and Qatarlyst completed since June 2012.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $19 thousand or 17% from $110 thousand in the second quarter of 2012 to $91 thousand in the second quarter of 2013. Interest income was comparatively less due to lower cash balances.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $31 thousand or 10%, from $312 thousand in the second quarter of 2012 to $281 thousand in the second quarter of 2013. Interest expense decreased due to the fact that the aggregate outstanding balance on the Company's credit facility decreased from $77.8 million at June 30, 2012 to $69.6 million at June 30, 2013.
Other Non-Operating Income (Loss)
Other non-operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $1.4 million pertains to the loss recognized in regards to the increase in the fair value of the put option that was issued to the former stockholders of PlanetSoft, acquired by Ebix in June 2012, who received shares of Ebix common stock as part of the acquisition consideration paid by the Company.
Foreign Currency Exchange Loss
Net foreign currency exchange losses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $123 thousand primarily pertained to losses recognized upon re-measurement of certain transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective operating division.
Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Comparatively the income tax expense increased from a year earlier primarily due a $2.3 million provision for uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective tax rate used in the determination of its interim period tax provision for the quarter was 9.48% as compared to the 10.46% effective tax rate for the same period a year earlier. The effective rate decreased due to a greater proportion of our taxable income being generated from jurisdictions with lower tax rates. The Company’s interim period income tax provisions are based on our estimate of the effective income tax rate for the full current year, after eliminating discrete items uniquely related to the respective interim reporting period.
Results of Operations — Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Operating Revenue
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 our total operating revenues increased $12.0 million or 13%, to $103.6 million as compared to $91.5 million during the same period in 2012.

Broker System revenues increased by 79% and 3%, respectively, on a year over year basis. The increase in Carrier revenues is the result of a targeted emphasis on larger scale professional service projects to clients in this product channel. With regards to business acquisitions, the Company continues to immediately and efficiently leverage product cross-selling opportunities across all channels, as facilitated by our operating philosophy and business acquisition strategy. With respect to business acquisitions completed during the years 2012 and 2013 on a pro forma basis, as disclosed in the table in Note 3 “Pro Forma Financial Information” to the enclosed condensed consolidated financial statements, combined revenues decreased 0.9% for the six months ending June 30, 2013 versus the same comparative six-month period in 2012 whereas there was a 13.1% increase in reported revenues for the same comparative periods.

The 2013 and 2012 pro forma financial information assumes that all such business acquisitions were made on January 1, 2012, whereas the Company's reported financial statements for six months ending June 30, 2013 only includes the revenues from the businesses since the effective date that they were acquired by Ebix.

Amortization and depreciation expenses increased $898 thousand or 22%, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $5.0 million as compared to $4.1 million incurred during the same period in 2012.This increase is primarily due to $981 thousand of additional amortization costs associated with the customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the business acquisitions of BSI, Taimma, PlanetSoft, Fintechnix, TriSystems, and Qatarlyst completed during 2012 and 2013.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased $93 thousand or 34%, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $184 thousand as compared to $277 thousand incurred during the same period in 2012. Interest income was comparatively less due to reduced short-term investments (bank certificates of deposits).
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $78 thousand or 14%, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $643 thousand as compared to $565 thousand incurred during the same period in 2012. Interest expense increased due to the amortization of the origination costs associated with the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility entered into with Citi Bank, N.A. on April 26, 2012.
Other Non-Operating Income (Loss)
Other non-operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 in the amount of $1.3 million pertains to the loss recognized in regards to the increase in the fair value of the put option that was issued to the former stockholders of PlanetSoft, acquired by Ebix in June 2012, who received shares of Ebix common stock as part of the acquisition consideration paid by the Company.

The Company recognized income tax expense of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Comparatively the income tax expense increased from a year earlier primarily due to an increase a $2.3 million provision for uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective tax rate used in the determination of its interim period tax provision for the six-month interim period was 8.77% as compared to the 10.46% effective tax rate for the same period a year earlier. The effective rate decreased due to a greater proportion of our taxable income being generated from jurisdictions with lower tax rates. The Company’s interim period income tax provisions are based on our estimate of the effective income tax rate for the full current year, after eliminating discrete items uniquely related to the respective interim reporting period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's ability to generate significant cash flows from its ongoing operating activities is one of our fundamental financial strengths. Our principal sources of liquidity are the cash flows provided by the Company's operating activities, our commercial banking 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 (including the treatment of net operating loss carryforwards and minimum alternative tax obligations in the U.S. and India), future cash outlays for income taxes are expected to exceed income tax expense. We intend to utilize cash flows generated by our operations, in combination with our bank credit facility, and the possible issuance of additional equity or debt securities, to fund capital expenditures and organic growth initiatives, and to make strategic business acquisitions in the insurance services sector.

In the fourth quarter of 2011 the Company paid its first quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.04 per common share. This same quarterly dividend per share was paid again in February 2012. The dividend rate was increased to $0.05 effective with the dividend payment made in May 2012, and the same dividend payment was made in August 2012 and November 2012. On November 7, 2012 Ebix's Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly dividend by 50% to 7.5 cents per outstanding share of the Company's common stock to be paid in February 2013, which was paid in February 2013. The Company did not pay a

28
Table of Contents

dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 due to contractual restrictions, which are no longer applicable, relating to the then-pending agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co.
We believe that anticipated cash flows provided by our operating activities, together with current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to our credit facilities, and access to 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.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $35.4 million and $36.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance has decreased by $1.1 million since year end 2012, as a result of term loan payments, line of credit payments, a business acquisition, and share repurchases partially offset by cash generated by our ongoing operating activities. The Company holds material cash balances overseas in foreign jurisdictions. The free flow of cash from certain countries where we hold such balances may be subject to repatriation tax effects and other restrictions. Furthermore, the repatriation of earnings from some of our foreign subsidiaries would result in the application of withholding taxes at source as well as a tax at the U.S. parent level upon receipt of the repatriated amounts. The approximate cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances held in our domestic U.S. operations and each of our foreign subsidiaries as of August 7, 2013 are presented in the table below (figures denominated in thousands):

Our current ratio slightly decreased to 1.18 at June 30, 2013 down from 1.44 at December 31, 2012 and our corresponding working capital position decreased to $12.4 million at June 30, 2013 from $25.0 million at the end of the 2012. Our short-term liquidity position has decreased due to increased trade payables and accrued liabilities associated with our growing business, and increased short-term debt associated with the amortization of our secured term loan with Citibank. The Company's accounts receivable DSO stood at 68 days at June 30, 2013 and reflects a decrease of 1 day from March 31, 2013 and a 9 day increase from the second quarter of 2012. We believe that the Company's ability to generate sustainable and robust cash flows from operations will enable the Company to continue to fund its current liabilities from current assets including available cash balances for the foreseeable future.

Business Combinations
The Company executes accretive business acquisitions in combination with organic growth initiatives as part of its comprehensive business growth and expansion strategy. The Company looks to acquire businesses that are complementary to Ebix's existing products and services. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 the Company completed one business acquisition which was not considered material to the Company's consolidated operations or financial position.
A significant component of the purchase price consideration for many of the Company's business acquisitions is a potential future cash earnout based on reaching certain specified future revenue targets. The Company recognizes these potential obligations as contingent liabilities. These contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are re-measured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. As of June 30, 2013, the total of these contingent liabilities was $15.5 million, of which $9.2 million is reported in long-term liabilities, and $6.3 million is included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2012 the total of these contingent liabilities was $17.5 million, of which $14.2 million is reported in long-term liabilities, and $3.3 million is included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by our operating activities was $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The primary components of the cash provided by operations during the six months period consisted of net income of $30.9 million, net of $1.7 million of net non-cash losses recognized on derivative instruments and foreign currency exchange, $5.0 million of depreciation and amortization, $(13.7) million of working capital requirements primarily associated with increased outstanding trade accounts receivable and deferred tax assets and reduced deferred revenues, and $996 thousand of non-cash share-based compensation. During the six months ending June 30, 2013 the Company made $11.8 million of tax payments including $8.0 million of minimum

Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $49.1 million, of which $44.7 million in the aggregate was used to complete business acquisitions closed during that prior year interim period (inclusive of $34.0 million that used for the Planetsoft acquisition), $2.0 million was used for the investment in Curepet, $1.5 million was used in payment of an earnout obligation in connection with our 2010 acquisition of MCN in Brazil, $1.1 million was used for capital expenditures pertaining to the enhancement of our technology platforms and the purchases of operating equipment to support our expanding operations. Partially offsetting these investment cash outflows was $194 thousand consisting from maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases.

Partially offsetting these aggregate cash proceeds was $9.4 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock, $3.3 million used to pay quarterly dividends to our common stockholders, and $765 thousand used to make principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Commercial Bank Financing Facility
    
On April 26, 2012 Ebix entered into a credit agreement providing for a $100 million secured syndicated credit facility (the “Secured Syndicated Credit Facility”) with Citibank as administrative agent and Citibank, N.A., Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, and RBS Citizens, N.A. as joint lenders. The financing is comprised of a four-year, $45 million secured revolving credit facility, a $45 million secured term loan which amortizes over a four year period with quarterly principal and interest payments that commenced on June 30, 2012 and a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest due on April 26, 2016, and an accordion feature that provides for the expansion of the credit facility by an additional $10 million.  The interest rate applicable to the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 1.50% or currently 1.70%. Under the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility the maximum interest rate that could be charged depending upon the Company's leverage ratio is LIBOR plus 2.00%. The credit facility is and will be used by the Company to fund working capital requirements primarily in support of current operations, organic growth, and accretive business acquisitions. The underlying financing agreement contains financial covenants regarding the Company's annualized EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio, and leverage ratio, as well as certain restrictive covenants pertaining to such matters as the incurrence of new debt, the aggregate amount of repurchases of the Company's equity

shares, and the consummation of new business acquisitions. The Company currently is in compliance with all such financial and restrictive covenants.

At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Company's revolving line of credit with Citibank was $32.8 million and the facility carried an interest rate of 1.70%. This balance is included in the long-term liabilities section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The current and long-term portions of the term loan are included in the respective current and long-term sections of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, the amounts of which were $12.4 million and $24.4 million respectively at June 30, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information about new accounting pronouncements and the potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 1 of the condensed notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Form 10-K.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), as promulgated in the United States, requires our management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following accounting policies involve the use of “critical accounting estimates” because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. In addition, while we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have possibly been used in the current period, and changes in the accounting estimates that we used are reasonably likely to occur from period to period both of which may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For additional information about these policies, see Note 1 of the Condensed Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are limited based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription and transaction fees pertaining to services delivered over our exchanges or from our ASP platforms, fees for business process outsourcing services, and fees for software development projects including associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting (the “SEC”) accounting guidance on revenue recognition 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. We apply the provisions of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles related 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 the relevant technical accounting guidance, 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. Generally these types of arrangements include deliverables pertaining to software licenses, system set-up, and professional services associated with product customization or modification. Delivery of the various contractual elements typically occurs over periods of less than eighteen months. These arrangements generally do not have refund provisions or have very limited refund terms.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by FASB 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.
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
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the fair value of acquired contractual customer relationships for which future cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely. In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested 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 likely have reduced the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. The impairment evaluation process involves an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we were to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we would not perform the two-step quantitative impairment testing described further below.
The aforementioned two-step quantitative testing process involves comparing the reporting unit carrying values to their respective fair values. We determine the fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method using the present value of future estimated net cash flows. 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. Projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, operating costs, 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. The use of different estimates or assumptions for 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. We perform our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and testing as of

September 30th of each year. This evaluation is done during the fourth quarter each year. During the year ended December 31, 2012 we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are 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.
The Company also applies FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes positions. This guidance 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.
Foreign Currency Matters
Historically the functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in India and Singapore had been the Indian rupee and Singapore dollar respectively. As a result of the Company's rapid growth, including its recent acquisition of PlanetSoft, and the expansion of its intellectual property research and development activities in its Singapore subsidiary, and its product development activities and information technology enabled services for the insurance industry provided by its India subsidiary in support of Ebix's operating divisions across the world (both of which are transacted in U.S. dollars), management undertook a reconsideration of functional currency designations for these two foreign subsidiaries in India and Singapore, and concluded that effective July 1, 2012 the functional currency for these entities should be changed to the U.S. dollar. The Company believes that the acquisition of PlanetSoft along with the other four business acquisitions completed during 2012 combined with the cumulative effect of business acquisitions made over the last few years which in turn has necessitated the rapid growth of the Company's operations in India and Singapore, were indicative of a significant change in the economic facts and circumstances that justified the reconsideration and ultimate change in the functional currency.
The functional currency of the Company's other foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of these 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency are included in the determination of net income.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign-based operations where certain transactions are denominated in other than our entity's functional currency and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of those currencies. Most of the Company's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, however, the Company has significant and expanding operations in Australia, Brazil and Europe, and we conduct transactions in the local currencies of each of those locations. 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 the net change in the cumulative foreign currency translation account, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity, were unrealized gains (losses) of $(4.1) million and $(3.4) million, respectively. The Company considered the historical trends in currency exchange rates 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 $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 June 30, 2013 the Company had $71.5 million of outstanding debt obligations which consisted of a $32.8 million balance on our commercial banking revolving line of credit, a $36.8 million secured term loan, and $1.9 million in secured promissory note payables. The Company's revolving line of credit and secured term loan bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%, and stood at 1.70% at June 30, 2013. The Company is exposed to market risk in relation to this line of credit in regards to the potential increase in 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 $21 thousand and $22 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's average cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $39.0 million and its existing cash balances as of June 30, 2013 were $35.4 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 $37 thousand and $55 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In connection with the acquisition of PlanetSoft effective June 1, 2012, Ebix issued a put option to the PlanetSoft's three shareholders. The put option, which expires in June 2014, is exercisable during the thirty-day period immediately following the two-year anniversary date of the business acquisition, which if exercised would enable them to sell the underlying 296,560 shares of Ebix common stock they received as part of the purchase consideration, back to the Company at a price of $16.86 per share, which represents a 10% discount off of the per-share value established on the effective date of the closing of Ebix's acquisition of PlanetSoft. In accordance with the relevant authoritative accounting literature a portion of the total purchase consideration was allocated to this put liability based on its initial fair value, which was determined to be $1.4 million using a Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in the valuation of the put option include term, stock price volatility, current stock price, exercise price, and the risk free rate of return, with the volatility factor being the input subject to the most variation. Therefore, as pertaining to the put option, the Company is exposed to market risk in regards to the rate and magnitude of change of our stock price and corresponding variations to the volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes valuation model. We evaluated this risk by estimating the potential adverse impact of a 10% increase in the volatility factor and determined that such a change in the volatility factor would have resulted in an approximate $87 thousand increase to the put option liability and a corresponding reduction to pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
There were no other material changes to our market risk exposure during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. For additional information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in Part II, Item 7A of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

Items required under Part II not specifically shown below are not applicable.


Item 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Between July 14, 2011 and July 21, 2011, securities class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaints assert claims against (i) the Company and the Company's CEO and CFO for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and (ii) the Company's CEO and CFO as alleged controlling persons. The complaints generally allege false statements in earnings reports, SEC filings, press releases, and other public statements that allegedly caused the Company's stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. The New York action has been transferred to Georgia and has been consolidated with the Georgia action, now styled In re: Ebix, Inc. Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 1:11-CV-02400-RSW (N.D. Ga.). A Consolidated Amended Complaint (“CAC”) was filed by Plaintiffs on November 28, 2011. On January 12, 2012, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the CAC, which raised various defenses that the CAC failed to state a claim. On September 28, 2012, the Court entered an order denying the Company's Motion to Dismiss. On December 7, 2012, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Class Certification. On June 19, 2013, Defendants filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, which is presently pending. On July 2, 2013, the Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification without prejudice to Plaintiffs' refiling their Motion should the Court deny, in whole or in part, Defendants' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. On July 16, 2013, the Court entered a Stipulated Order Staying Discovery Pending Resolution of Defendants' Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. In connection with this shareholder class action suit, there have been three derivative complaints brought by certain shareholders on behalf of the Company, which name certain of the Company's officers and its entire board of directors as Defendants. The first such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Paul Nauman styled Nauman v. Raina, et al., Civil Action File No. 2011-cv-205276 (Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia). The second such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Gilbert Spagnola styled Spagnola v. Bhalla, et al., Civil action No. 1:13-CV-00062-RWS (N.D. Ga.), filed January 7, 2013. The third such derivative action was brought by an alleged shareholder named Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City Pension Fund styled Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund v. Raina, et al., Civil Action No. 1:13-CV-00246-RWS (N.D. Ga.), filed January 23, 2013. These derivative actions are based on substantially the same factual allegations in the shareholder class action suit, but also variously claim breach of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, the wasting of corporate assets, negligence, unjust enrichment by the Company's directors, and violation of Section 14 of the Exchange Act. The Nauman case has been stayed pending the completion of expert discovery in the shareholder class action suit. On April 12, 2013, the Court entered an Order consolidating the Spagnola and Hotel derivative cases under the style In re Ebix, Inc. Derivative Litigation, File No. 1:13-CV-00062- RWS (N.D. Ga.), appointing Hotel Trades Council and Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund as Lead Derivative Plaintiff, and appointing the law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC as Lead Derivative Counsel and The Law Offices of David A. Bain LLC as Liaison Counsel. Lead Derivative Plaintiff filed its Consolidated Shareholder Derivative and Class Action Complaint on May 20, 2013. Thereafter, the Court entered a Consent Order on June 4, 2013, setting a schedule for Lead Derivative Plaintiff to amend its complaint in light of the anticipated preliminary proxy related to the transaction announced on May 1, 2013 with affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co. Based on the termination of the merger agreement relating to that transaction, as announced on June 19, 2013, the parties are conferring regarding future case scheduling. The Company denies any liability and intends to defend the federal and derivative actions vigorously. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome for this matter is not estimable.

On June 6, 2013, the Company was notified that the U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia had opened an investigation into allegations of intentional misconduct that had been brought to its attention from the pending shareholder class action lawsuit against the Company's directors and officers, the media and other sources. The Company is cooperating with the U.S. Attorney's office.
Following the announcement on May 1, 2013 of the execution of a merger agreement with affiliates of Goldman Sachs & Co., eleven putative class action complaints challenging the proposed merger were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  These complaints name as defendants some combination of the Company, its directors, Goldman Sachs & Co and affiliated entities.  On June 10, 2013, the eleven complaints were consolidated by the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption In re Ebix, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, CA No. 8526-CS.  On June 19, 2013, the Company announced that the merger agreement had been terminated pursuant to a Termination and Settlement Agreement.  Defendants then moved to dismiss the consolidated proceeding.  Lead Plaintiffs have indicated that they intend to amend their operative complaint and an order requiring them to do so on before August 20, 2013 was entered by the Court on July 24, 2013.

The Company has been sued by Microsoft in the N.D. GA for alleged copyright infringement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Licensing, GP v. Ebix, Inc., Case No. 1:13-CV-01655-CAP (N.D. Ga) filed May 15, 2013. The Company has not yet been able to determine exposure as the case concerns alleged underlicensing of Microsoft software and an audit is underway. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the case on July 10, 2013. On August 5, 2013, Plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint. The Company has and will continue to defend itself aggressively against Microsoft's claims.
The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate likely disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.


Item 1A: RISK FACTORS
    
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risks set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect the Company's business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks that the Company faces.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Government investigations may require significant management time and attention, result in significant legal expenses or damages and cause the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows to suffer. The Company could face additional governmental investigations with respect to these matters, could incur substantial costs to defend any such investigations and be required to pay damages, fines and penalties, or incur additional expenses or be subject to injunctions as a result of the outcome of such investigations. The unfavorable resolution of one or more matters could adversely impact the Company.
On December 3, 2012 and April 16, 2013, the Company received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the conduct by the SEC of a non-public fact-finding inquiry and investigation and seeking documents relating to the issues raised the matter styled In re: Ebix, Inc. Securities Litigation, and in an online news article based on unnamed sources, published on November 3, 2012 speculating about the existence of such an investigation. Additionally, on June 6, 2013, the Company was notified that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia had opened an investigation into allegations of intentional misconduct. The Company has cooperated with the government in connection with these investigations and expects to continue to do so. The amount of time needed to resolve these investigations is uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the outcome of these investigations or whether the Company will face additional government investigations, inquiries or other actions. Subject to certain limitations, the Company is obligated to indemnify current and former directors, officers and employees in connection with ongoing governmental investigations and any future government inquiries, investigations or actions. These matters could require the Company to expend significant management time and incur significant legal and other expenses and could result in civil and criminal actions seeking, among other things, injunctions against the Company and the payment of significant fines and penalties by the Company, which could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, business, results of operations and cash flow.

If these governmental authorities were to commence legal action, the Company could be required to pay significant penalties and could become subject to injunctions, a cease and desist order and other equitable remedies. The Company can provide no assurances as to the outcome of any governmental investigation.
