EVOLVING SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and cable markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest network operators worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of Operations Support Systems (OSS). We offer software products and solutions focused on activation and provisioning: our service activation solution, TertioTM (TSA) used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks; our SIM card activation solution, Dynamic SIM Allocation TM (DSA) used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to wireless devices that rely on SIM cards, and our connected devices activation solution, Intelligent M2M Controller (IMC) which supports the activation of M2M devices with intermittent or infrequent usage patterns.
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We made estimates with respect to revenue recognition for estimated hours to complete projects accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowance, fair values of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for property, equipment and intangible assets, business combinations, capitalization of internal software development costs and fair value of stock-based compensation amounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. Our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity. Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolving Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2012 and determined that no impairment of our goodwill had occurred. As of the date this report was issued, we are in progress of completing our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2013.
Intangible Assets Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of purchased software and licenses, customer contracts and relationships, trademarks and tradenames, and business partnerships acquired in conjunction with our purchase of Tertio Telecoms Ltd. (Evolving Systems U.K.). These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives.
We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the assets carrying amount. If an amortizable intangible or long-lived asset is not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss representing the excess of the assets carrying value over its estimated fair value.
Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect managements estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of securities are recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities impact our net income only when such securities are sold or an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each securitys cost basis. We review our marketable debt securities to determine if the securities are other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require us to record an impairment charge in the period any such determination is made. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the available-for-sale designations as of each balance sheet date.
Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when an agreement is signed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from two primary sources: license fees and services, and customer support. The majority of our license fees and services revenue is generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to our software products and services to customize such software to meet our customers use. When the customization services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. In these types of arrangements, we do not typically have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of fair value on the license fee/services portion (services are related to customizing the software) of the arrangement due to the large amount of customization required by our customers; however, we do have VSOE for the warranty/maintenance services based on the renewal rate of the first year of maintenance in the arrangement. The license/services portion is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and the warranty/maintenance services are separated based on the renewal rate in the contract and recognized ratably over the warranty or maintenance period. We estimate the percentage-of-completion for each contract based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours and recognize revenue based on the percent complete multiplied by the contract amount allocated to the license fee/services. Since estimated direct labor hours, and changes thereto, can have a significant impact on revenue recognition, these estimates are critical and we review them regularly. If the arrangement includes a customer acceptance provision, the hours to complete the acceptance testing are included in the total estimated direct labor hours; therefore, the related revenue is recognized as the acceptance testing is performed. Revenue is not recognized in full until the customer has provided proof of acceptance on the arrangement. Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when certain criteria are met, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts. We record amounts billed in advance of services being performed as unearned revenue. Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under the terms of the fixed-price contracts. All such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months.
We may encounter budget and schedule changes or increases on fixed-price contracts caused by increased labor or overhead costs. We make adjustments to cost estimates in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known. We record estimated losses, if any, in the period in which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a loss. If revisions
to cost estimates are obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the interim or annual financial statements, we make adjustments to the interim or annual financial statements accordingly.
In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize license revenue when a license agreement has been signed, delivery and acceptance have occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Where applicable, we unbundle and record as revenue fees from multiple element arrangements as the elements are delivered to the extent that VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements exist. If VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist, we defer fees from such arrangements until the earlier of the date that VSOE does exist on the undelivered elements or all of the elements have been delivered.
We recognize revenue from fixed-price service contracts using the proportional performance method of accounting, which is similar to the percentage-of-completion method described above. We recognize revenue from professional services provided pursuant to time-and-materials based contracts and training services as the services are performed, as that is when our obligation to our customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.
We recognize customer support, including maintenance revenue, ratably over the service contract period. When maintenance is bundled with the original license fee arrangement, its fair value, based upon VSOE, is deferred and recognized during the periods when services are provided.
Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant. This model requires the use of estimates for expected term of the options and expected volatility of the price of our common stock.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale.
Income Taxes We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.
We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2012-03, to cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. We adopted ASU 2013-02 effective March 2013. The adoption of this standard did not affect our financial position or results of operations.

(1) Represent primarily the impact of foreign currency translation for instances when goodwill is recorded in foreign entities whose functional currency is also their local currency. Goodwill balances are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end. Adjustments related to foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.
We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2012, and we determined that goodwill was not impaired as of the test date. From July 31, 2012 through the date of this report, no events have occurred that we believe may have impaired goodwill.
We amortized identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from one to seven years and include the cumulative effects of foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, identifiable intangibles were as follows (in thousands):

(1) Changes in intangible gross values as of June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 are the direct result of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the periods then ended. Adjustments related to foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.
Amortization expense of identifiable intangible assets was $0.1 million for the three months ended and $0.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. As Evolving Systems U.K. uses the British Pound Sterling as its functional currency, the amount of future amortization actually recorded will be based upon exchange rates in effect at that time. Identifiable intangible assets are fully amortized as of June 30, 2013.
NOTE 3 EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share (EPS) by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including common stock issuable under participating securities. We compute diluted EPS using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including participating securities, plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.
Our policy is to treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, as participating securities, included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. The following is the reconciliation of the denominator of the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.
NOTE 4 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors, and record compensation cost for all stock awards granted after January 1, 2006 and awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date, using the modified prospective method. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, with respect to our stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Stock Incentive Plans
In January 1996, our stockholders approved an Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan). Under the Option Plan, as amended, 4,175,000 shares were reserved for issuance. Options issued under the Option Plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors, including the vesting provisions of each stock option granted. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The Option Plan terminated on January 18, 2006; options granted before that date were not affected by the plan termination. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 0.3 and 0.3 million options remained outstanding under the Option Plan, respectively.
In June 2007, our stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Stock Plan) with a maximum of 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance. In June 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,250,000. In June 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,500,000. Awards permitted under the 2007 Stock Plan include: Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards. Awards issued under the 2007 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years for employees and one year for directors and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. At June 30, 2013, there were approximately 0.3 million shares available for grant under the 2007 Stock Plan, as amended. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 0.4 million options were issued and outstanding under the 2007 Stock Plan as amended, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no grants of restricted stock to members of our senior management. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 6,000 and 2,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 13,000 and 9,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively. No shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Approximately 1,250 and 2,000 shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair market value of restricted shares for share-based compensation expensing is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense includes $40,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.1 million and $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of expense related to restricted stock grants. The restrictions on the stock awards are released quarterly, generally over four years for senior management and over one year for board members.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each option grant. The expected term of share options granted is derived using the simplified method, which we adopted in January 2008. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock options. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the stock options. The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends. The weighted-average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

There were 14,000 and 16,041 stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2.41 and $2.34. As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $39,000 and $0.1 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.1 million, respectively.
The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $4,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $8,000 and $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), we are authorized to issue up to 550,000 shares. Employees may elect to have up to 15% of their gross compensation withheld through payroll deduction to purchase our common stock, capped at $25,000 annually and no more than 10,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month participation period. As of June 30, 2013, there were approximately 71,000 shares available for purchase. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded compensation expense of $500 and $400, respectively, and $1,000 and $700, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, associated with grants under the ESPP which includes the fair value of the look-back feature of each grant as well as the 15% discount on the purchase price. This expense fluctuates each period primarily based on the level of employee participation.
The fair value of each purchase made under our ESPP is estimated on the date of purchase using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each purchase. The expected term of each purchase is based upon the three-month participation period of each offering. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of each offering. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock. The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends. The weighted average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

NOTE 5 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, one significant customer (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 13% of revenue from operations. The significant customer for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is a large telecommunications operator in Asia. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, two significant customers accounted for 34% (18% and 16%), of revenue from operations. The significant customers for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are large telecommunications operators in Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, two significant customers accounted for 33% (20% and 13%) of revenue from operations. These customers are large telecommunications operators in the Commonwealth of Independent States and Europe.
As of June 30, 2013, two significant customers accounted for approximately 25% (14% and 11%) of contract receivables and unbilled work-in-progress. These customers are large telecommunication operators in Asia. At December 31, 2012, three significant customers accounted for approximately 46% (21%, 14% and 11%) of contract receivables and unbilled work-in-progress. These customers are a large telecommunications operator in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Asia and Mexico.
NOTE 6 LONG-TERM DEBT
On October 22, 2012, we entered into a $5.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the Revolving Facility). The $5.0 million Revolving Facility bears interest at the greater of 2.75% or the U.S.A Prime Rate minus one half of one percent (0.5%). Prime Rate was 3.25% as of December 31, 2012. The Revolving Facility is secured by all assets of Evolving Systems, including a pledge, subject to certain limitations with respect to stock of foreign subsidiaries, of the stock of the existing and future direct subsidiaries of Evolving Systems. There is no mandated borrowing required against the Revolving Facility. To take an advance under the Revolving Facility, we must have a balance of $3.0 million in cash on deposit and have quarterly net income and a specified ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as defined in the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility requires us to pay an annual credit facility fee of $10,000. All accrued interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility is paid monthly, with any outstanding
balance due with a final maturity of October 22, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, we are in compliance with the covenants and have $5.0 million available to borrow under this Revolving Facility.
NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES
We recorded net income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.4 million and a deferred tax expense of $0.1 million. The current tax expense consists primarily of unrecoverable foreign withholding tax in the U.S. and U.K. and income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings offset by intangible assets from our U.K. based operations. The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.4 million and a deferred tax expense of $.1 million. The current tax expense consisted primarily of Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), state tax and unrecoverable foreign withholding tax in the U.S., income tax from our U.K.-based operations and income taxes related to our operations in India. The deferred tax expense was net of a tax benefit primarily related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations.
We recorded net income tax expense of $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.9 and a deferred tax expense of $0.2 million. The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.S. and U.K. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings offset by a tax benefit related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations. The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.6 and a deferred tax expense of $43,000. The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.K.-based operations, income taxes related to our operations in India and AMT, unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes in the U.S. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to the decrease in deferred tax assets related to stock compensation and accrued liabilities in the period and a tax benefit related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations.
Our effective tax rate of 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was increased from our effective tax rate of 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K. and the realization of Net Operating Losses (NOL) comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the U.S. When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.
Our effective tax rate of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was increased from our effective tax rate of 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K. and the realization of Net Operating Losses (NOL) comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the U.S. When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Evolving Systems U.K., we recorded certain identifiable intangible assets. Since the amortization of these identifiable intangibles is not deductible for income tax purposes, we established a long-term deferred tax liability of $4.6 million at the acquisition date for the expected difference between what would be expensed for financial reporting purposes and what would be deductible for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this component of the deferred tax liability was $0 and $39,000, respectively. This deferred tax liability relates to Evolving Systems U.K., and has no impact on our ability to recover U.S.-based deferred tax assets. This deferred tax liability was recognized as a reduction of deferred income tax expense as the identifiable intangibles were amortized.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on portions of our domestic net deferred tax asset. Such assets primarily consist of certain NOL carryforwards and other tax credits. The NOL are comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Unused windfall tax benefits may not be recorded as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets but are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. The $0.2 million of net deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2013, were comprised of the following:

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. We do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.
We conduct business globally and, as a result, Evolving Systems, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, namely the United Kingdom, Germany and India.
NOTE 8 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock Dividend
On May 7, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable July 12, 2013, to stockholders of record June 10, 2013. Previously, our Board of Directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of $.08 per share, payable April 12, 2013, to stockholders of record March 22, 2013.
Any determination to declare a future quarterly dividend, as well as the amount of any cash dividend which may be declared, will be based on our financial position, earnings, financial covenants to which we are subject, earnings outlook and other relevant factors at that time.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions/Agreements with Stockholders
Our restated certificate of incorporation allows the board of directors to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of preferred stock, while providing desired flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.
In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibit us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by discouraging or preventing takeover attempts that might result in the payment of a premium price to our stockholders.
NOTE 9 SEGMENT INFORMATION
We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance as our chief operating decision-makers (CODM). These chief operating decision makers review revenues by segment and review overall results of operations.
We currently operate our business as two operating segments based on revenue type: license fees and services revenue, and customer support revenue (as shown on the consolidated statements of operations). License fees and services (L&S) revenue represents the fees received from the license of software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed products, such as fees for custom development and integration services. Customer support (CS) revenue includes annual support fees, recurring maintenance fees, fees for maintenance upgrades and warranty services. Warranty services that are similar to software maintenance services are typically bundled with a license sale. Total assets by segment have not been disclosed as the information is not available to the chief operating decision-makers.
Segment information is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Other Commitments
As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements with officers and directors under which we agree to indemnify them for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in this capacity. The term of the indemnification period is indefinite. There is no limit on the amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements; however, we maintain Director and Officer insurance policies, as well as an Employment Practices Liability Insurance Policy, that may enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
We enter into standard indemnification terms with customers and suppliers, in the ordinary course of business, for third party claims arising under our contracts. In addition, as we may subcontract the development of deliverables under customer contracts, we could be required to indemnify customers for work performed by subcontractors. Depending upon the nature of the indemnification, the potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements may be unlimited. We may be able to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier if the indemnification results from the subcontractors or suppliers failure to perform. To the extent we are unable to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier, we could be required to reimburse the indemnified party for the full amount. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to an indemnification. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
Our standard license agreements contain product warranties that the software will be free of material defects and will operate in accordance with the stated requirements for a limited period of time. The product warranty provisions require us to cure any defects through any reasonable means. We believe the estimated fair value of the product warranty provisions in the license agreements in place with our customers is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these product warranty provisions as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
Our software arrangements generally include a product indemnification provision whereby we will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer for claims that our products infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent of a third party. We have not historically incurred any significant costs related to product indemnification claims. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
(b) Litigation
We are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business. Losses, including estimated costs to defend, are recorded for these matters to the extent they are probable of loss and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
NOTE 11 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the restructuring of our business after the sale of the Numbering Business, we eliminated the position of Sr. Vice President and General Counsel held by Anita T. Moseley, effective July 1, 2011. We entered into a consulting agreement with Ms. Moseley to provide consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2011, and was extended through December 31, 2013 on an as-needed basis. We had obligations of $8,000 and $0 in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012, respectively, related to this agreement. We recorded approximately $19,000 and $5,000 of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations, related to this agreement, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $37,000 and $10,000 of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations, related to this agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we purchased $16.9 million of Primus Telecommunications Group, Inc. (PTGI) senior secured notes, net of purchase discounts, on the open market through a registered broker dealer. The Singer Family Trust, our
largest shareholder, owns approximately 22% of our outstanding common shares and approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of PTGI. Richard Ramlall, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Chief Communications Officer of PTGI, serves on our board of directors but is not on our Investment Committee of the Board and as such is not involved in any of our investment decisions, nor is Mr. Ramlall involved with any oversight of the financial operations of PTGI.
During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded interest income of $0.1 and $0.5 million in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the PTGI senior secured notes, respectively. As of April 23, 2012 the investments were sold for approximately $17.8 million and we realized a gain on sale of approximately $0.9 million.
NOTE 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 13, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable September 13, 2013, to stockholders of record August 30, 2013.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Consolidated revenue decreased to $5.8 million and $12.5 million from $6.7 million and $12.6 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in revenue is due to lower license and services revenue primarily from DSA and TSA.
Our twelve month backlog decreased to $10.3 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to $11.4 million as of June 30, 2012.
We have operations in foreign countries where the local currency is used to prepare the financial statements which are translated into our reporting currency, U.S. Dollars. Changes in the exchange rates between these currencies and our reporting
currency are partially responsible for some of the changes from period to period in our financial statement amounts. The chart below summarizes how our revenue and expenses would change had they been reported on a constant currency basis. The constant currency basis assumes that the exchange rate was constant for the periods presented (in thousands).

Revenue
Revenue is comprised of license fees/services and customer support. License fees and services revenue represent the fees we receive from the licensing of our software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed product as well as integration and consulting services. Customer support revenue includes annual support, recurring maintenance and warranty services. Warranty services consist of maintenance services and are typically bundled with a license sale and the related revenue, based on Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE), is deferred and recognized ratably over the warranty period.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $12.5 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Decreased revenue in the period is primarily due to decreased license and services revenue from our DSA and TSA products offset by an increase in customer support revenue from our DSA product.
License Fees and Services
License fees and services revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 22%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in revenue is primarily related to lower revenue from DSA and TSA.
License fees and services revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in revenue is primarily related to slightly lower revenue from DSA.
Customer Support
Customer support revenue increased $0.1 million, or 6%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in customer support revenue is due to higher revenue from DSA partially offset by lower TSA customer support revenue.
Customer support revenue increased $0.2 million, or 4%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in customer support revenue is due to increased revenue from DSA partially offset by lower TSA customer support revenue.
Costs of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization
Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, consist primarily of personnel costs and other direct costs associated with these personnel, facilities costs, costs of third-party software and partner commissions. Costs of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The decrease in costs is primarily the result of decreased third party software and partner commissions for our DSA product. As a percentage of license fees and services revenue, costs of license fees and services, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased to 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the decreased revenue during the period.
Costs of license fees and services, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased $0.5 million, or 15%, to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in costs is primarily the result of third party software and partner commissions for our DSA product due to lower DSA revenue during the period. As a percentage of license fees and services revenue, costs of license fees and services, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased to 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of the aforementioned decrease in expenses during the period.
Costs of Customer Support, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization
Costs of customer support, excluding depreciation and amortization, was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. As a percentage of customer support revenue, costs of customer support revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, was 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

amortization, decreased to 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of the increased customer support revenue during the period.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation costs, including incentive compensation and commissions, travel expenses, advertising, marketing and facilities expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in sales and marketing costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the decrease in revenue during the period.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in costs is related primarily to lower employee, travel and marketing expense. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses was 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist principally of employee related costs and professional fees for the following departments: facilities, finance, legal, human resources, and certain executive management. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 23%, to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in costs is primarily related to a bad debt reserve made during the three months ended June 30, 2012 but no reserve during the current period. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease of expenses during the period.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 13%, to $1.7 million from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease of expenses during the period.
Product Development
Product development expenses consist primarily of employee related costs and subcontractor expenses. Product development expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 12% to $0.7 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in costs is primarily due to decreased hours spent on research and development projects and lower employee costs. As a percentage of revenue, product development expenses were 12% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.
Product development expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 7% to $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in costs is primarily due to decreased hours spent on research and development projects, lower employee costs offset by higher travel expense. As a percentage of revenue, product development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, decreased to 11% from 12%, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the aforementioned decrease of expenses during the period.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense consists of depreciation of long-lived property and equipment. Depreciation expense decreased $42,000, or 53%, to $37,000 from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest income decreased $0.1 million or 98%, to $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was due primarily to interest income from our long-term investments which were sold in the second quarter of 2012.
Interest income decreased $0.6 million or 99%, to $6,000 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was due primarily to interest from long-term investments which were sold in the second quarter of 2012.
Interest Expense

Interest expense was $5,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of $5,000 is primarily due to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our $5.0 million revolving credit facility which was signed on October 22, 2012.
Interest expense was $11,000 and $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of $10,000 is primarily due to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our $5.0 million revolving credit facility which was signed on October 22, 2012.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) resulted from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective subsidiary and were $0.2 million and $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.1 million and ($0.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The gains (losses) were generated primarily through the re-measurement of certain non-functional currency denominated financial assets and liabilities of our Evolving Systems U.K. and India subsidiaries.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale. Other comprehensive loss decreased to ($0.3) million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to ($0.9) million during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is related primarily to stronger subsidiaries functional currencies net of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities in the first quarter 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other comprehensive loss increased to ($1.4) million from $0.4 million income for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is related primarily to weaker subsidiaries functional currencies partially offset by the net unrealized gains related to long-term corporate debt securities in 2012.
Income Taxes
We recorded net income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.4 million and a deferred tax expense of $0.1 million. The current tax expense consists primarily of unrecoverable foreign withholding tax in the U.S. and U.K. and income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings offset by intangible assets from our U.K. based operations. The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.4 million and a deferred tax expense of $.1 million. The current tax expense consisted primarily of Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), state tax and unrecoverable foreign withholding tax in the U.S., income tax from our U.K.-based
operations and income taxes related to our operations in India. The deferred tax expense was net of a tax benefit primarily related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations.
We recorded net income tax expense of $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.9 and a deferred tax expense of $0.2 million. The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.S. and U.K. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings offset by a tax benefit related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations. The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.6 and a deferred tax expense of $43,000. The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.K.-based operations, income taxes related to our operations in India and AMT, unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes in the U.S. The deferred tax expense was primarily related to the decrease in deferred tax assets related to stock compensation and accrued liabilities in the period and a tax benefit related to intangible assets from our U.K.-based operations.
Our effective tax rate of 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was increased from our effective tax rate of 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K. and the realization of Net Operating Losses (NOL) comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation in the U.S. When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Evolving Systems U.K., we recorded certain identifiable intangible assets. Since the amortization of these identifiable intangibles is not deductible for income tax purposes, we established a long-term deferred tax liability of $4.6 million at the acquisition date for the expected difference between what would be expensed for financial reporting purposes and what would be deductible for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this component of the deferred tax liability was $0 and $39,000, respectively. This deferred tax liability relates to Evolving Systems U.K., and has no impact on our ability to recover U.S.-based deferred tax assets. This deferred tax liability was recognized as a reduction of deferred income tax expense as the identifiable intangibles were amortized.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on portions of our domestic net deferred tax asset. Such assets primarily consist of certain NOL carryforwards and other tax credits. The NOL are comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Unused windfall tax benefits may not be recorded as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets but are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. See Note 7 to the financial statements for a summary of our net deferred tax liability.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our working capital position increased $0.7 million to $14.6 million as of June 30, 2013 from $13.9 million as of December 31, 2012. The majority of the increase in working capital is related to the increase of current assets of cash and contracts receivables offset by a reduction of unbilled work-in progress and an increase in current liabilities related to unearned revenue.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed operations through cash flows from operations and equity transactions. At June 30, 2013, our principal source of liquidity was $13.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.6 million in contract receivables, net of allowances and $5.0 million of unused availability under our revolving credit facility.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.4 million and ($0.2) million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in unbilled work-in-progress, an increase in unearned revenue, partially offset by an increase in contract receivables and reduction of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was ($0.1) million and $17.8 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to the sale of marketable securities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 partially offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $0.1 million during the six month ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.6 million and $41.7 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the special $2.00 per share common stock cash dividend paid on January 3, 2012 and the special $1.70 per share common stock cash dividend paid on May 29, 2012.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and financing requirements for at least the next twelve months. In making this assessment we considered the following:
· Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2013 of $13.4 million;
· Our working capital balance of $14.6 million;
· Our demonstrated ability to generate positive cash flows from operations;
· The declaration of our quarterly cash dividends of $0.08 per share for the first and second quarters of 2013 and the possibility of future dividends;
· Our backlog as of June 30, 2013 of approximately $10.3 million, including $5.1 million in license fees and services and $5.2 million in customer support;
· The availability under our revolving credit facility of $5.0 million as of June 30, 2013.
We are exposed to foreign currency rate risks which impact the carrying amount of our foreign subsidiaries and our consolidated equity, as well as our consolidated cash position due to translation adjustments. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the effect of exchange rate changes resulted in a $0.3 million decrease and $0.1 million decrease to consolidated cash. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure, but we monitor rate changes and may hedge our exposures if we see significant negative trends in exchange rates.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Uncertainties that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable such as political, economic, tax, other regulatory, or credit risks are not included in the following assessment of market risks.
Interest Rate Risks
Our cash balances are subject to interest rate fluctuations and as a result, interest income amounts may fluctuate from current levels.
Market Risks
Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Any significant future declines in their market values could have a material adverse affect our financial condition and operating results. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, we review factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investments amortized cost basis. Our investment policy requires investments to be rated B- or better. Marketable debt securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the available-for-sale designations as of each balance sheet date. We classify our marketable debt securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instruments underlying contractual maturity date. Marketable debt securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to favorable and unfavorable fluctuations of the U.S. dollar (our functional currency) against the currencies of our operating subsidiaries. Any increase (decrease) in the value of the U.S. dollar against any foreign currency that is the functional currency of one of our operating subsidiaries will cause the parent company to experience unrealized foreign currency translation losses (gains) with respect to amounts already invested in such foreign currencies. In addition, we and our operating subsidiaries are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our respective functional currencies, such as accounts receivable (including intercompany amounts) that are denominated in a currency other than their own functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these items will result in unrealized (based upon period-end exchange rates) or realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. In addition, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our operating subsidiaries monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity. As a result of foreign currency risk, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

At the present time, we do not hedge our foreign currency exposure or use derivative financial instruments that are designed to reduce our long-term exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that translation and transaction gain and losses become significant, we will consider various options to reduce this risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business. Losses, including estimated costs to defend, are recorded for these matters to the extent they were probable of loss and the amount of loss could be reasonably estimated. We had no pending legal proceedings as of June 30, 2013.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2013, except with respect to the following:
Dividends - Our Board of Directors has declared a first and second quarter cash dividend of $0.08 per share. The decision to pay dividends in the future will depend on general business conditions, the impact of such payment on our financial condition and other factors our Board of Directors may consider to be relevant. If we elect to pay future dividends, this could reduce our cash reserves to levels that may be inadequate to fund expansions to our business plan or unanticipated contingent liabilities.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 under Item 1A. Risk Factors.
