Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

PROS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its operating subsidiaries (the “Company”), provides big data software applications designed to help companies outperform in their markets by using big data to sell more effectively. The Company applies data science to unlock buying patterns and preferences within transaction data to reveal which opportunities are most likely to close, which offers are most likely to sell and which prices are most likely to win. The Company offers big data software applications to analyze, execute, and optimize sales, pricing, quoting, rebates and revenue management. The Company also provides professional services to implement its software applications as well as business consulting. In addition, the Company provides product maintenance and support to its customers to receive unspecified upgrades, maintenance releases and bug fixes during the term of the support period on a when-and-if-available basis. The Company provides its big data software applications to enterprises across a range of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, services and travel.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Basis of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Dollar amounts

The dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars, except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure.

Use of estimates

The Company’s management prepares the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company makes estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and its estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in the Company’s estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of assets, depreciation, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock options, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. The critical accounting policies related to the

Table of Contents

estimates and judgments are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report under management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report.

Revenue recognition

The Company derives its revenue from the licensing and implementation of software solutions and associated software maintenance and support. To a lesser extent, the Company's revenue includes nonsoftware related hosting services. The Company's arrangements with customers typically include: (a) license fees for the use of our solutions either in perpetuity or over a specified term, (b) professional services for configuration, implementation and training services and (c) maintenance and support related to the solutions, including technical support and software updates. If there is significant uncertainty about contract completion or collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved or collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and fees are fixed or determinable.

In determining whether professional services revenue should be accounted for separately from license revenue, the Company evaluates whether the professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software using factors such as: the nature of its software products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of professional services; the availability of services from other vendors; whether the timing of payments for license revenue coincides with performance of services; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the software license fee.

If the Company determines that professional services revenue should not be accounted for separately from license revenue,

the license revenue is recognized together with the professional services revenue using the percentage-of-completion method or completed contract method. The completed contract method is also used for contracts where there is a risk over final acceptance by the customer or for contracts that are short term in nature.

The percentage-of-completion computation is measured by the percentage of man-days incurred during the reporting period as compared to the estimated total man-days necessary for each contract for implementation of the software solutions. The Company measures performance under the percentage-of-completion method using total man-day method based on current estimates of man-days to complete the project. The Company believes that for each such project, man-days expended in proportion to total estimated man-days at completion represents the most reliable and meaningful measure for determining a project's progress toward completion. Under our fixed-fee arrangements, should a loss be anticipated on a contract, the full amount is recorded when the loss is determinable.

The Company also licenses software solutions under term license agreements that typically include maintenance and support during the license term. When maintenance and support is included for the entire term of the license, there is no renewal rate and the Company has not established vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for the maintenance and support on term licenses. For term license agreements, revenue and the associated costs are deferred until the delivery of the solution and recognized ratably over the remaining license term.

For arrangements that include hosting services, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration between the hosting service and other elements and recognize the hosting fee ratably beginning on the date the customer commences use of our services and continuing through the end of the hosting term.

For multiple element arrangements that contain software and nonsoftware elements (such as the Company's hosting service offerings), the Company allocates revenue between the software and software-related elements as a group and any nonsoftware elements based on a relative fair value allocation. The Company determines fair value for each deliverable using the following hierarchy. The Company utilizes VSOE of fair value if it exists; however in certain instances, the Company may not be able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in an arrangement with multiple elements. This may be due to infrequently selling each element separately, not pricing solutions or services within a narrow range, or only having a limited sales history. In addition, third party evidence ("TPE") may not be available. When the Company is unable to establish selling prices using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses best estimated selling price ("BESP") in the allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. For transactions that only include software and software-related elements, the Company continues to account for such arrangements under the software revenue recognition standards which require it to establish VSOE of fair value to allocate arrangement consideration to multiple deliverables.

Table of Contents

Maintenance and support revenue includes post-implementation customer support and the right to unspecified software updates and enhancements on a when-and-if available basis. The Company generally invoices for maintenance and support services on a monthly, quarterly or on an annual basis through the maintenance and support period. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance and support arrangements ratably over the period in which the maintenance and support services are provided.

Software license and implementation revenue that have been recognized, but for which the Company has not invoiced the customer, are recorded as unbilled receivables. Invoices that have been issued before software license, implementation and maintenance and support revenue have been recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Internal-use software

Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the development stage are capitalized, stated at cost, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Development stage costs generally include salaries and personnel costs and third party contractor expenses associated with internal-use software configuration, coding, installation and testing. Capitalized internal-use software development costs related to the Company's cloud-based offerings were $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.4 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized internal-use software development costs related to our cloud-based offerings are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company amortized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of capitalized internal-use software development costs related to its cloud-based offerings. Capitalized software for internal use is included in property and equipment, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs related to the Company's cloud-based offerings is included in cost of license and implementation revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Noncash share-based compensation

The Company measures all share-based payments to its employees based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognizes expense in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period during which the recipient is required to perform service (generally over the vesting period of the awards). To date, the Company has granted stock options, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), and Market Stock Units (“MSUs”). The MSUs are performance-based awards where the number of shares that vest are based upon the Company’s relative shareholder return.

The following table presents the number of shares or units outstanding for each award type as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.



Award type	September 30, 2013	December 31, 2012
Stock options	1,182,290	1,474,828
Restricted stock units	1,613,335	1,182,726
Stock appreciation rights	725,196	789,637
Market share units	469,000	205,000

Stock options, RSUs and SARs vest ratably between three and four years. The actual number of MSUs that will be eligible to vest is based on the total shareholder return of the Company relative to the total shareholder return of the Russell 2000 Index (“Index”) over their respective performance periods, as defined by each award's plan documents.

The fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of MSUs on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of fair value of the MSUs is affected by the Company’s stock price and a number of assumptions including the expected volatilities of the Company’s stock and the Index, its risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company’s expected volatility at the date of grant was based on the historical volatilities of the Company and the Index over the performance period.

The assumptions used to value the MSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and SARs or the vesting of share-based awards. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive share-based awards using the treasury stock method.

Fair value measurement

The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of $58.0 million invested in treasury money market funds at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of these accounts is determined based on quoted market prices, which represents level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure.”

Deferred revenue and unbilled receivables

Software license and implementation services that have been performed, but for which the Company has not invoiced the customer, are recorded as unbilled receivables, and invoices that have been issued before the software license and implementation services have been performed are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally invoices for maintenance and support services on a monthly, a quarterly or an annual basis through the maintenance and support period.

Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2013, $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility ("Revolver") is included in other long term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $12,500 and $37,500, respectively, of debt issuance cost amortization is included in Other Expense (Income), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver.

Income taxes

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate to calculate its income tax provision. The estimated effective tax rate includes U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes and is based on the application of an estimated annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter’s year-to-date pre-tax income. This estimated effective tax rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim reporting periods.

In January 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which included, among other legislation, the retroactive extension of the Research and Experimentations ("R&E") tax credit. The passage of this legislation made the R&E tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2012 and extended the R&E tax credit until December 31, 2013.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 33% and 25%, respectively. The effective tax rate (benefit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was (22)% and 39%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to an increase in non-deductible share-based compensation expense in 2013 and a discrete tax provision amount recorded in the third quarter of 2012 related to a favorable return-to-provision adjustment attributable to higher than expected 2011 R&E tax credits, partially offset by the application of the 2013 R&E tax credit. The difference between the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to the

Table of Contents

application of the 2013 R&E tax credit, a discrete benefit attributed to the 2012 R&E tax credit recorded in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by a rate increase attributed to an increase in non-deductible share-based compensation expense and a discrete tax provision amount recorded in the third quarter of 2012 related to a favorable return-to-provision adjustment attributable to higher than expected 2011 R&E tax credits.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 34% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to the 2013 R&E tax credit, partially offset by a rate increase attributable to nondeductible share-based compensation expense. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to rate decreases from the 2013 R&E tax credit and a discrete benefit attributed to the 2012 R&E tax credit, partially offset by a rate increase attributable to nondeductible share-based compensation expense.

3. Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Numerator:
Net income	$	993	$	1,356	$	3,307	$	3,542
Denominator:
Weighted average shares (basic)	28,096,333		27,426,269		27,953,416		27,322,940
Dilutive effect of potential common shares	2,219,166		936,313		1,982,340		997,241
Weighted average shares (diluted)	30,315,499		28,362,582		29,935,756		28,320,181
Basic earnings per share	$	0.04	$	0.05	$	0.12	$	0.13
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.03	$	0.05	$	0.11	$	0.13

Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of SARs, vesting of RSUs and MSUs. Potential common shares determined to be antidilutive and excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding were approximately 140 and 1,005,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately 12,000 and 549,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

4. Noncash Share-based Compensation

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation:

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company regularly becomes involved in contract and other negotiations and, in more limited circumstances, becomes involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company is not currently involved in any outstanding litigation that it believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

6. Subsequent Events

On October 24, 2013, the Company entered into a tender offer agreement with Cameleon Software ("Cameleon"), a French software company listed on the NYSE Euronext exchange, indicating the Company's intent to acquire Cameleon through the tender offer for all of the outstanding share capital of Cameleon in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately €24 million (U.S. $33 million), net of cash expected to be acquired. The Cameleon board unanimously recommended this tender offer. Completion of the tender offer is subject to, among other things, clearance of the tender offer by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), and Cameleon shareholders tendering at least 65% of Cameleon’s freely tradeable shares and warrants in the tender offer. As part of the tender offer, the Company placed approximately $40 million in an escrow to fund the acquisition. These funds will be unavailable to the Company for other uses until the successful closing of the tender offer, the failure of the tender offer in accordance with its terms or the AMF's rejection of the tender offer, whichever first occurs. If successful, we expect to complete the acquisition of Cameleon in the first quarter of 2014.

Since inception, PROS has completed over 600 implementations of our solutions across more than 30 industries in more than 50 countries.

Opportunities, Trends and Uncertainties

We have noted opportunities, trends and uncertainties that we believe are particularly significant to understand our financial results and condition.

•

Growth opportunities. We believe the market for our big data software applications is underpenetrated. Market interest for our software has increased over the past several years, providing us with growth opportunities. We have and will continue to invest in our business to more effectively address these opportunities through significant investment in professional services, research and development, sales, marketing and back office. In addition to organic growth, we may acquire companies or technologies that can contribute to the strategic, operational and financial growth of our business. We expect to continue to explore both organic and other strategic growth opportunities.

•

Uncertain global economic conditions. Global economic conditions have been challenging in recent years, and continue to be somewhat uncertain. The uncertain economic conditions have had and may have a negative impact on the adoption of big data software and may increase the volatility in our business. Due to the uncertain economic conditions, we continue to experience long sales cycles, increased scrutiny on purchasing decisions and overall cautiousness taken by customers. In addition, certain foreign countries are still facing significant economic and political crises and it is possible that these crises could result in economic deterioration in the markets in which we operate. We believe our solutions provide value to our customers during periods of economic growth as well as in recessions, but the extent to which the current economic conditions will further affect our business is uncertain.

•

Managing our continued growth. Since 2010, we have experienced strong growth in both our revenues and operations, including significant growth in our sales and marketing personnel. Our continued success depends on, among other things, our ability to successfully recruit, train and retain personnel to execute our sales and marketing strategies, successfully integrate the operations and personnel of any companies we may acquire, appropriately manage our expenses as we grow; enter into and maintain beneficial channel relationships; and develop new products. If we are not able to execute on these actions, our business may not grow as we anticipated.

•

Variability in revenue. Our revenue recognition policy provides visibility into a significant portion of our revenue in the near-term quarters, although the actual timing of revenue recognition varies based on the nature and requirements of our contracts. For the majority of our arrangements, we have not historically recognized license revenue upon customer contract signature and software delivery. We evaluate our contract terms and conditions as well as our implementation performance obligations in making our revenue recognition determination for each contract. Our contractual performance obligations in the future may differ from historical periods, impacting the timing of the recognition of revenue. For example, growth in our term license and SaaS service offerings may result in the deferral of revenue over the contractual term, whereas growth in perpetual license arrangements that meet the criteria for separation may result in the recognition of license revenue on delivery, provided revenue recognition criteria are met. Our revenue could also vary based on our customer mix and customer geographic location. We sell our software solutions to customers in the manufacturing, distribution, services and travel industries. From a geographical standpoint, approximately 56% of our consolidated revenues were derived from customers outside the United States for both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and approximately 54% and 59% of our consolidated revenues were derived from customers outside the United States for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our contracts with customers outside the United States are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars. The economic and political environments around the world could change our concentration of revenue within industries and across geographies.

•

Income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our effective income tax rate provision was 33% and a tax benefit of 22% as compared to the federal rate of 34%. In January 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which included, among other legislation, the retroactive extension of the Research and Experimentations ("R&E") tax credit. The passage of this legislation made the R&E tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2012 and extended the R&E tax credit until December 31, 2013. As a result of the retroactive reinstatement of the 2012 R&E tax credit in 2013, we recognized a discrete tax benefit of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.

License and implementation. License and implementation revenue increased $5.6 million to $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, representing a 29% increase. The increase in license and implementation revenue was principally the result of an 11% increase in the number of implementations from 85 to 94, which increased the number of man-days expended by 13%, and a 14% increase in the average revenue recognized per man-day as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The increase in average revenue recognized per man-day was due predominantly to an increase in license revenue recognized upon software delivery for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The average revenue per man-day can vary from quarter to quarter based on the relative relationship between license and implementation revenue and on the amount of license revenue recognized upon software delivery.

License and implementation revenue includes revenue from both term licenses and hosting services. Revenue from term licenses represented approximately 3% and 6% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenue from hosting services represented approximately 2% and 3% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Maintenance and support. Maintenance and support revenue increased $1.3 million to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, representing a 13% increase. The increase in maintenance and support revenue is principally a result of an increase in the number of customers purchasing maintenance and support services.

Cost of license and implementation. Cost of license and implementation increased $2.5 million to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, representing a 38% increase. The increase in cost of license and implementation was principally attributable to an increase of $2.4 million of personnel costs. Personnel costs, which include our employees and third party contractors, increased primarily as a result of an increase in headcount needed to support the increased number of active and anticipated implementations. Included in the increase in personnel costs is an increase of $0.2 million of noncash share-based compensation expense. In addition, there was an increase of $0.1 million in depreciation as a result of the renovation and the expansion of our corporate headquarters, and an increase of $0.1 million related to hosting and other cloud-based services offerings. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.1 million of recruiting expenses.

Table of Contents

License and implementation gross profit percentages were 64% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in the license and implementation gross profit percentage was principally the result of a 38% increase in license and implementation costs due primarily to an increase in headcount needed to support the increased number of active and anticipated implementations. License and implementation gross margins vary from period to period depending on different factors, including the amount of implementation services required to deploy our solutions relative to the total contract price and additional headcount needed to support anticipated future implementations.

Cost of maintenance and support. Cost of maintenance and support decreased $0.1 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in cost of maintenance for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the corresponding period in 2012 was attributable to a decrease of $0.1 million of personnel costs.

Maintenance and support gross profit percentages were 83% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in maintenance and support gross profit percentages was principally the result of a 13% increase in maintenance and support revenue offset by a 5% decrease in cost of maintenance and support.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $4.5 million to $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $21.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, representing a 21% increase.

decrease in the income tax provision was principally attributable to a decrease of $3.1 million of pre-tax income and a decrease in the effective tax rate. Our effective tax rates were a tax benefit of 22% and a tax provision of 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the effect of the application of the 2013 R&E tax credit, and a discrete benefit attributed to the 2012 R&E tax credit recorded in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by a rate increase attributed to an increase in nondeductible share-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At September 30, 2013, we had $90.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $88.1 million of working capital as compared to $83.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $73.0 million of working capital at December 31, 2012. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in the U.S. dollar and are held in financial institutions located in the U.S. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations and potential borrowings under our Revolver. Our material drivers or variants of operating cash flow are net income, noncash expenses (principally share-based compensation) and the timing of periodic billings and collections related to the sale of our software and related services. The primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors and service providers in accordance with the invoice terms and conditions.

In October , 2013, we placed approximately $40 million of cash into escrow to fund our planned acquisition of Cameleon. These funds will be unavailable for other uses until the successful closing of the tender offer, the failure of the tender offer in accordance with its terms or the AMF's rejection of the tender offer, whichever first occurs. Excluding the funds placed into escrow, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, funds available under our Revolver and our current estimates of future operating cash flows will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our operational requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next twelve months. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, our potential strategic expansion, future acquisitions we might undertake, and the expansion into complementary businesses. If such need arises, we may raise additional funds through equity or debt financings.

The following table presents key components of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.



	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	11,159		$	10,869
Net cash used in investing activities	(4,572		)	(6,769		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	629			87
Cash and cash equivalents (beginning of period)	83,558			68,457
Cash and cash equivalents (end of period)	$	90,774		$	72,644

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $11.2 million, which represents an increase of $0.3 million when compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The $0.3 million increase was due to an increase of $7.0 million of noncash expenses principally from a $4.9 million increase in share-based compensation, a $1.7 million increase in excess tax benefits on share-based compensation and a $1.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization. These increases were offset by a $1.6 million decrease in tax benefits from share-based compensation and a $6.5 million decrease attributed to changes in operating assets and liabilities, which are comprised of accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued payroll and other employee benefits and deferred revenue. Included in our changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2013 and 2012 was $5.7 million and $2.8 million of incentive payments paid to our employees that were earned in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also included in our changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2012 was $5.1 million of cash provided from a tax refund received in the second quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012 is

primarily the result of a $2.2 million decrease in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in capitalized internal-use software development costs related to our cloud-based service offerings.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012 is primarily the result of an increase in net cash provided by the exercise of stock options of $2.0 million, offset by a $1.7 million decrease in excess tax benefits as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report.

Credit facility

As of September 30, 2013, there were $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolver included in other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $12,500 and $37,500, respectively, of debt issue cost amortization is included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver as of September 30, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our contracts are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars; however, we have contracts denominated in foreign currencies and therefore a portion of our revenue is subject to foreign currency exchange risk. The primary market risk we face is from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results. The effect of an immediate 10% adverse change in exchange rates on our foreign denominated receivables as of September 30, 2013 would result in a loss of approximately $500,000. In addition, the Company has operating subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany. However, due to the relatively low volume of payments made by the Company through these foreign subsidiaries, the Company does not believe that it has significant exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our financial results in the future.

We currently do not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency exchange risks. We continue to review this issue and may consider hedging certain foreign exchange risks through the use of currency futures or options in future years.

Exposure to Interest Rates

The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related to the variable interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolver. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolver.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2013. Based on our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and

Table of Contents

procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 other than the update included below:

Our directors, executive officers, and certain significant shareholders hold a significant portion of our outstanding shares.

Our directors and executive officers collectively control approximately 19% of our outstanding common shares, and together with certain significant stockholders, including investment funds associated with Brown Capital Management, LLC and investment funds associated with BlackRock, Inc., control approximately 42% of our outstanding common shares. As a result, these stockholders could influence matters requiring stockholder approval in ways that may not align with your interest as a stockholder, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us even if such change of control would be beneficial to you as a stockholder and could affect the market price of our shares if there is a sale by this group of stockholders.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

We have an ongoing authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $15.0 million in shares of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2013, $10.0 million remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization.

We did not make any purchases of our common stock under this program for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
