Commenting on the Non-GAAP financial results for the quarter, Reynolds C. Bish, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Mobile and new or acquired products software license revenue grew by 101.6% year-over-year and 74.1% on an organic basis. Our success with these products has continued to make this part of our business an increasingly larger percentage of our software license revenue, accounting for 41.8% during the quarter. Software license revenue from 'core capture' products declined year-over-year but at a lower rate than in the first quarter. These declines were primarily driven by customers increasingly choosing to purchase Kofax TotalAgility and solutions built on that platform as well as our mobile capture, web capture and electronic content transformation products rather than our legacy Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules products. Multi Channel Capture revenues increased year-over-year during the quarter. This quarter’s results were achieved despite significant exchange rate headwinds. On a constant currency basis – using exchange rate levels in the prior year period – software license revenue would have been approximately $1.2 million and total revenues $2.7 million higher. The effect on Adjusted EBITDA was less negative as a result of the global nature and distribution of our employees and expenses.”

Bish continued: “We're pleased with our performance during the second quarter, and confident in our ability to execute during the remainder of this fiscal year while realizing lower than anticipated expense levels. Therefore, in light of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in recent months and assuming current foreign exchange rates, we are lowering the high end of our software license revenue and total revenues ranges while increasing the low end of our EBITDA range. Neither of these adjustments reflect a change in our underlying current or future fiscal year growth expectations. Our guidance for fiscal year 2015 is therefore as outlined below:”

Chief Executive Officer's Review

Financial Performance

All amounts or percentages in this review are with reference to Kofax’s Non-GAAP financial results unless otherwise noted. For a definition of Non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Chief Financial Officer’s Review that follows.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 software license revenue increased 6.4% to $34.6 million and total revenues increased 5.1% to $81.1 million. In the six months ended December 31, 2014 software license revenue increased 2.0% to $59.8 million and total revenues increased 3.8% to $150.3 million.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 mobile and new or acquired products software license revenue grew by 101.6% year-over-year and 74.1% on an organic basis. In the six months ended December 31, 2014 this revenue grew by 97.2% year-over-year and 74.6% on an organic basis. Our success with these products has continued to make this part of our business an increasingly larger percentage of our software license revenue, and accounted for 41.8% for the quarter and 39.4% for the six months.

Software license revenue from “core capture” products declined year-over-year in both the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014 but at a lower rate in the second quarter than the first quarter. These declines were primarily driven by customers increasingly choosing to purchase Kofax TotalAgility and solutions built on that platform as well as our mobile capture, web capture and electronic content transformation products rather than our legacy Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules products. More cautious and therefore longer sales cycles, particularly in Western Europe, also contributed to these declines.

Some investors and financial analysts have expressed concern about the decline in “core capture” software license revenue and asked what that implies for the future of the capture market and Kofax. In considering this question one needs to reflect on several important points. First, in December 2012 Forrester forecasted that the capture market would grow at a 5.0% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2012 to 2016. Second, that this was for what they defined as the “Multi Channel Capture” market, which included four segments – production capture, on demand capture, mobile capture and electronic content transformation – with the latter two segments accounting for much of that growth. And third, what we report as “core capture” includes only that portion of Kofax’s “Multi Channel Capture” software license revenue arising from sales of our legacy Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules products, which are used for production capture and on demand capture.

Therefore, to provide an appropriate comparison to Forrester’s Multi Capture Market growth forecast, one needs to add Kofax software license revenue from other relevant products to its “core capture” software license revenue for an accurate comparison. This would include mobile capture, web capture, electronic content transformation and that portion of Kofax TotalAgility and solutions built on that platform allocable to production capture and on demand capture – all of which Kofax includes in and reports as “mobile and new or acquired products”. Given how we’ve packaged and priced Kofax TotalAgility and these solutions, it’s difficult or impossible to exactly quantify this latter amount. However, it’s reasonable to assume 20.0% of Kofax TotalAgility software license revenue is related to production capture and on demand capture. If we did this calculation, Kofax’s “Multi Channel Capture” software license revenue would have grown approximately in line with Forester’s forecast of a 5% CAGR for all of fiscal year 2014 and during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Hence, the capture market is not in a state of decline nor is Kofax losing market share. Rather, Kofax is undergoing a rather dramatic shift in buying preferences from our legacy capture software products to our mobile and new or acquired products.

As a result of the complexity of the issues discussed above and the challenges associated with accurately calculating Kofax’s Multi Channel Capture revenues, we will no longer report “core capture” revenues or attempt to report Multi Channel Capture revenues. Instead, we will only report total software license revenue.

As a result of our revenue growth and prudently managing operating expenses in the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA increased 10.1% to $14.4 million or a 17.7% margin. In the six months ended December 31, 2014, adjusted EBITDA decreased 12.4% to $18.7 million or a 12.4% margin.

Our results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and six months ended December 31, 2014 were achieved despite significant exchange rate headwinds. During the second quarter – on a constant currency basis and using exchange rate levels in the prior year period – software license revenue would have been approximately $1.2 million and total revenues $2.7 million higher. The effect on Adjusted EBITDA was less negative as a result of the global nature and distribution of our employees and expenses.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and six months ended December 31, 2014 we closed an increasing number of larger software license transactions as summarized below:

                                Quarter Six Months FY 14                 FY 15 FY 14                 FY 15 Sales > $100,000 42                 60 69                 98 Sales > $1 million 1 3 2 4  

These increases are a result of the new quota bearing sales reps we’ve added and their success in selling our mobile and new or acquired products.

We continue to generate cash and our balance sheet remains strong. Adjusted cash generated from operations was $1.5 million for the second quarter and $7.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, and we ended those periods with $59.4 million of cash. In addition, our existing, undrawn $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility with Bank of America Merrill Lynch remains available and has been extended through June 30, 2016. We therefore have the financial resources needed to continue to fund organic revenue growth while executing our acquisition strategy.

Therefore, in light of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in recent months and assuming current foreign exchange rates, we are lowering the high end of our software license revenue and total revenues ranges while increasing the low end of our EBITDA range. Neither of these adjustments reflect a change in our underlying current or future fiscal year growth expectations. Our guidance for fiscal year 2015 is therefore as outlined below:

Cost of professional services decreased $0.4 million, or 5.0%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014, largely due to a decrease in headcount. Cost of professional services was flat in the six months ended December 31, 2014. Our gross margin on professional services increased 4.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2014 as we were better able to utilize our professional services staff. Our gross margin on professional services decreased 1.0% in the six months ended December 31, 2014 as we experienced lower utilization rates during the first quarter of the fiscal year, offset by increased utilization in the current quarter.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs incurred in connection with the design, development, testing and documentation of our software products as well as associated costs such as facilities and related overhead charges. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.

Research and development expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 1.0%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in share-based payment expense. Research and development costs increased $0.8 million, or 4.5%, in the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to an increase in compensation costs largely associated with our acquisitions of Softpro and incremental personnel to develop solutions based on Kofax TotalAgility in the first quarter.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to our sales and marketing staff, travel costs, costs for trade shows, advertising and other lead generating activities, as well as associated costs such as facilities and overhead charges.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.6 million, or 5.3%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and increased $5.8 million, or 9.8%, in the six months ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in compensation costs our increased investment in growing the sales organization to support sales of our mobile, new and acquired products and our acquisition of Softpro.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our executive, finance, human resource and legal functions, as well as associated costs such as facilities and overhead charges. Also included in general and administrative expenses are costs associated with legal, accounting, tax and advisory fees.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 14.4%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014, due to increased share-based payment expense and legal, accounting, and tax fees, related to the changes in the Company’s regulatory and reporting requirements. General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 12.9%, in the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to increased legal, accounting, and tax fees, related to the changes in the Company’s regulatory and reporting requirements and increased share-based payment expense, primarily driven by awards that were granted with higher fair values, subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering in the United States.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

We amortize acquired intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset. Our intangible assets include acquired contractual and customer relationships, technology and trade names, each based on their fair values ascribed in accounting for the initial business acquisition.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, amortization of technology related assets of $1.5 million was included in cost of revenue with the remaining other intangible asset amortization of $1.3 million included in operating expenses and for the six months ended December 31, 2014, amortization of technology related assets of $3.2 million was included in cost of revenue with the remaining other intangible asset amortization of $2.0 million included in operating expense.

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs include those costs related to business and other acquisitions and consist of (i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii) transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees, as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made redundant).

Acquisition-related costs increased $2.7 million, or 124.0%, to $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014, due to a $2.2 million decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Singularity and Altosoft acquisitions in the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Acquisition-related costs increased $2.4 million, or 2,262.5%, to $2.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2014, relating primarily to due diligence and integration expenses related to the acquisition of Softpro.

Other Operating Expenses, net

Other operating expenses, net consists of all income or expense that is not directly attributable to one of our other operating revenue or expense lines. The following table shows other operating expenses, net in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue:

Other operating expenses, net decreased $2.8 million, or 94.6%, to $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and decreased $3.1 million, or 94.6%, to $0.2 million primarily due to a decrease in professional fees incurred for attorneys, accountants and other advisors who assisted with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in the United States, effective December 5, 2013 and subsequent conversion from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP).

Interest (Expense) Income, net

Income tax expense increased by $0.1 million, or 4.5%, to $2.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to certain jurisdictional profits being offset by previously unrecognized losses and less nondeductible expenses during the quarter. Income tax expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 33.5%, to $2.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in income before tax as well as certain jurisdictional profits being offset by previously unrecognized losses and incurring less nondeductible expenses in the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our business primarily through our cash on hand and cash inflows from operations. We had $59.4 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014, compared to $89.6 million at June 30, 2014. The majority of our cash is held in U.S. dollars, Euros and British Pounds. We have no outstanding debt as of December 31, 2014.

The following table sets forth the summary of our cash flows:

Operating Activities

Net cash generated from operating activities was $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.2 million. This increase in cash inflows in the three months ended December 31, 2014, related to increased net income and an additional $2.4 million in cash paid for taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2013 offset by $1.0 million of outflows related to working capital movements.

Net cash generated from operating activities was $5.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $17.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $12.2 million. This decrease was attributable primarily to the use of cash for working capital in the six months ended December 31, 2013.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $2.0 million in the three months ended December 30, 2013, due to a $0.4 million reduction in payments for property and equipment in the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities was $35.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $43.2 million in the three months ended December 30, 2013, representing a decreased outflow of $7.9 million. The primary use of cash for investing activities was associated with acquisitions. We paid $30.7 million associated with the acquisition of Softpro in fiscal 2015 and $39.2 million in fiscal 2014 associated with the acquisition of Kapow, representing a year over year decrease related to acquisitions of $8.5 million. Additionally we had a $0.8 million reduction in the purchases of property and equipment in the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Financing Activities

Net cash generated from financing activities was $0.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $12.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013. Net cash generated from financing activities was $1.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $12.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was mainly attributable to the $12.4 million in cash received through the Company’s December 5, 2013 initial public offering in the United States, partially offset by net proceeds of employee benefit shares.

Exchange Rate Effects

We operate in many countries around the world, and maintain cash balances in locations outside of the United States, in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 incremental changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in an decrease of $0.1 million and $2.3 million, in cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents will continue to fluctuate in the future, as foreign currency exchange rates vary.

Treasury Management

On October 14, 2013, the Company extended the term of its $40.0 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America Merrill Lynch to June 30, 2016. Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the credit facility can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros and certain other currencies and can be made in the United States and certain other countries. The credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, is secured by certain assets of the Company and can be increased by an additional $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, $39.5 million was available, as $0.5 million has been used to guarantee letters of credit in certain operating facilities and payroll services.

The Company has significant overseas subsidiaries, which operate principally in their local currencies. Where appropriate, intra-company borrowings are arranged in the functional currencies of the borrower to centralize the foreign exchange impact and provide a natural hedge against exchange rate movement risks. The Company hedges certain foreign currency cash and cash flows relating to transactions in accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Assessment of the credit risk profile of the Company’s key customers and resellers is centralized for increased focus.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Revenue – We defined Non-GAAP revenue as revenue, as reported under GAAP, increased to include revenue that is associated with our historic acquisitions that has been excluded from reported results for a limited period due to the effects of purchase accounting. In accordance with GAAP purchase accounting, an acquired company’s deferred revenue at the date of acquisition is subject to a fair value adjustment which generally reduces the deferred amount and revenues recognized subsequent to an acquisition. We include Non-GAAP revenue to allow for more complete comparisons to the financial results of our historical operations, forward looking guidance and the financial results of peer companies. We believe these adjustments are useful to management and investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. Additionally, although acquisition-related revenue adjustments are nonrecurring, we may incur similar adjustments in connection with future acquisitions. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP Revenue as Adjusted Revenue. The tables below provide a reconciliation of GAAP revenues to Non-GAAP revenues related to all of our historic acquisitions:

Non-GAAP software license revenue increased $2.1 million, or 6.4%, in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and increased $1.2 million, or 2.0%, in the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to a significant increase in revenue from mobile and new or acquired products offsetting a decline in core capture products. Total acquisition fair value adjustments decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and decreased $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 as the result of pre-acquisition deferred revenue balance from the acquisition of Kapow being amortized and reduced over time, partially offset by acquisition fair value adjustments from our acquisition of Softpro, which had less of an impact in the current period.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations – We define Non-GAAP income from operations as income/(loss) from operations, as reported under GAAP, excluding the effect of Acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, Share-based compensation expense, Depreciation expense, Amortization of acquired intangible assets, Acquisition-related costs, and Other operating expense, net. Share-based compensation expense, Depreciation expense and Amortization of acquired intangible assets in our Non-GAAP income from operations reconciliation represent non-cash charges which are not considered by management in evaluating our operating performance. Acquisition-related costs consist of: (i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii) transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees, as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made redundant). These acquisition-related costs are not considered to be related to the continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. Other operating expense, net represents items that are not necessarily related to our recurring operations and which therefore are not, under GAAP, included in other expense lines. Accordingly, we exclude those amounts when assessing Non-GAAP income from operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP income from operations as adjusted EBITDA.

We assess Non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total Non-GAAP revenue and by doing so we are able to evaluate the relative performance of our revenue growth compared to the expense growth for those items included in Non-GAAP income from operations. This measure allows management and our Board of Directors to compare our performance against that of other companies in our industry that may be of different sizes.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP income from operations to Non-GAAP income from operations and presents Non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of total Non-GAAP revenues.

At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties, we refer to adjusted income from operations as a percentage of revenues as EBITDA margin.

Non-GAAP Cash Flows from Operations - We define Non-GAAP cash flows from operations as cash flows from operations as reported under GAAP, adjusted for income taxes paid or received and payments under restructurings. Income tax payments are included in this reconciliation as the timing of cash payments and receipts can vary significantly from year-to-year based on a number of factors, including the influence of acquisitions on our consolidated tax attributes. Payments for restructurings relate to a specific activity that is not part of ongoing operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP cash flows from operations as Adjusted cash flows from operations.

The table below provides a reconciliation of GAAP cash flows from operations to Non-GAAP cash flows from operations:

      Three Months Ended December 31, 2014           2013 ($ in thousands) Cash flows from operations $ 647 $ (564 ) Income tax paid 811 3,568 Payments under restructuring   −   488   Non-GAAP cash flows from operations $ 1,458 $ 3,492     Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 2013 ($ in thousands) Cash flows from operations $ 5,416 $ 17,618 Income tax paid 2,134 4,870 Payments under restructuring   −   588   Non-GAAP cash flows from operations $ 7,550 $ 23,076    

Non-GAAP cash flow from operations decreased $2.1 million to $1.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014 and decreased $15.6 million to $7.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2014, primarily attributable to decreased cash inflows from the delivery of deferred revenue balances and decrease income taxes paid as compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share – Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated using GAAP net income/(loss) excluding the effect of Acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, Share-based compensation expense, Amortization of intangible assets, Acquisition-related costs, Net Interest-Other Income and Expense, and the related tax effect, divided by weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding. Therefore, we include this non-GAAP measure in order to provide a more complete comparison of our earnings per share from one period to another. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, financial analysts and other parties we refer to Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share as Adjusted EPS.

Note 1: Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for annual periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2014. The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting and in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015 or any other period.

Seasonality of operations

Many contracts, particularly those sold through the direct sales force, are finalized in the latter portions of any given quarter. Additionally, Kofax’s revenue may vary from quarter to quarter, depending on the timing and size of license revenue, which may contain individually large contracts in any given period. The first and third fiscal quarters have historically been seasonally weaker than the second and fourth quarters. This information is provided to allow for a proper appreciation of the results.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new topic, ASC 606. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This ASU is effective for us beginning in fiscal 2018 and can be adopted by the Company either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Acquisitions

Acquisition of Softpro GmbH

On September 1, 2014, Kofax acquired 100% of the shares of Softpro GmbH (Softpro), a company incorporated in Germany, specializing in e-signature and signature verification solutions. The Company believes Softpro’s software will accelerate Kofax’s ability to improve customer interactions by enabling organizations to offer a streamlined, fully digital and secure experience to their constituents and transform customer workflow to an all-electronic process, accelerating closure in any type of transaction that requires a contract. Additionally, Softpro provides a full suite of banking solutions including signature verification, authentication and fraud detection. These capabilities, offered both on premise and in the cloud, further differentiate Kofax’s smart process application (SPA) offering from competitors who do not offer these capabilities. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Softpro during the four month period from the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Softpro, at the acquisition date, are as follows:

                September 1, 2014 ($ in thousands) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents 506 Trade receivables 1,698 Other current assets 1,085 Total current assets 3,289 Other non-current assets 13 Property and equipment 206 Technology−intangible 10,100 Customer relationships−intangible 6,500 Non-compete-intangible 1,400 In-process R&D−intangible 400 Trade names−intangibles 200 Total assets 22,108   Current liabilities Trade and other payables 114 Other current liabilities 512 Income tax payable 1,109 Deferred tax liability 669 Deferred income 1,820 Total current liabilities 4,224   Deferred tax liabilities 6,029 Total liabilities 10,253   Net assets acquired 11,855   Consideration paid in cash at time of closing 31,200 Deferred consideration 3,292 Total consideration 34,492   Goodwill arising from acquisition 22,637  

The preliminary goodwill of $22.6 million includes the value of acquired technologies, and expected synergies arising from the acquisition and workforce, which is not separately recognizable. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

From the date of acquisition, Softpro has contributed $3.8 million of revenues and $1.5 million of net loss to consolidated results of operations of Kofax. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenues from Softpro’s operations would have been approximately $2.5 million higher and the net income would have decreased by approximately $0.1 million and Kofax’s total revenue would have been $148.3 million and net income $5.2 million.

Note 3: Operating Segments

The Company operates in one reportable business segment, the software business. All products and services are considered one solution to customers and are operated and analyzed under one income statement provided to and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM manages the business based on the key measures for resource allocation, based on a single set of financial data that encompasses the Company’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

Geographic Information

Intangible assets, such as contractual relationships and technology, are amortized over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis. Amortization of these intangibles is included in either cost of revenue or operating expenses based on the function of the intangible asset. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $5.2 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for our reportable segment as of December 31, 2014 were as follows:

                December 31, 2014 ($ in thousands)   Goodwill as of June 30, 2014 $ 186,103 Acquisitions 22,637 Foreign exchange translation effects   (8,966 ) Goodwill as of December 31, 2014 $ 199,774    

Note 5: Income Taxes

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the effective tax rate of 38.60% is above the United Kingdom (U.K.) statutory rate of 20.75%, due to the level of taxable profit attributable to the United States (U.S.), which has a federal tax rate of 35%. The year to date effective tax rate of 52.22% is above the U.K. statutory rate of 20.75%, due to significant acquisition expenses which allow for no tax deduction, unrecognized losses and U.S. profits (which is the Company’s primary operating jurisdiction) being tax effected at the higher U.S. tax rate.

The timing and outcome of our tax audit settlements is uncertain, however it is reasonably possible that a reduction of uncertain tax benefits may occur due to audit settlements and/or expiration of statutes of limitations. The settlement of these unrecognized tax benefits could result in a reduction in the tax charge of between zero and $1.1 million within the next twelve months.

Note 6: Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Note 7: Fair Value Measures

The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is established based on market value advice received by management from the issuing bank.

      December 31, 2014 Total       Level 1       Level 2       Level 3 ($ in thousands) Assets measured at fair value Cash and cash equivalents 59,416 59,416 − − Foreign exchange derivative asset 69 − 69 − Total assets measured at fair value 59,485 59,416 69 −   Liabilities measured at fair value Contingent acquisition payable 8,287 − − 8,287 Total liabilities measured at fair value 8,287 − − 8,287   June 30, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ($ in thousands) Assets measured at fair value Cash and cash equivalents 89,631 89,631 − − Foreign exchange derivative asset 58 − 58 − Total assets measured at fair value 89,689 89,631 58 −

 

Liabilities measured at fair value Contingent acquisition payable 8,702 − − 8,702 Total liabilities measured at fair value 8,702 − − 8,702  

Foreign currency derivative instruments are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices and option volatility at the reporting date. The Company believes the fair values assigned to its derivative instruments as of December 31, 2014 are based upon reasonable estimates and assumptions. Contingent acquisition payables represent future amounts the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with various business combinations. The ultimate amount of future payments is based on specified future criteria, such as sales performance and the achievement of certain future development, regulatory and sales milestones and other contractual performance conditions. The Company evaluates its estimates of the fair value of contingent acquisition payables on a periodic basis. Any changes in the fair value of contingent acquisition payables are recorded as acquisition-related costs in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

During the reporting period ended December 31, 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A rollforward of fair value measurements of level 3 financial instruments is disclosed below:

                December 31, 2014 ($ in thousands)   As of June 30, 2014 $ 8,702 Fair value of contingent consideration from acquisition 3,421 Contingent consideration payments (3,856 ) Change in fair value of contingent consideration 88 Foreign exchange translation effects   (68 ) As of December 31, 2014 $ 8,287    

For the six month period ended December 31, 2014, deferred consideration of $3.3 million was recorded from the acquisition of Softpro in September 2014 and $1.0 million was paid in December 2014 with $1.2 million to be paid in September 2015 and $1.2 million to be paid in September 2016, subject to certain indemnification terms and conditions.

Cash payments related to contingent consideration of $3.9 million were made during the six months ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $2.2 million payment for the second installment of deferred consideration from the acquisition of Kapow, a $0.5 million payment for retention bonuses from the acquisition of Kapow, and a $1.0 million payment from the acquisition of Softpro, as discussed previously above.

Note 8: Share-Based Compensation

We recognize share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. Our share-based awards are accounted for as equity instruments. Share-based compensation included in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements are as follows:

      Three Months Ended December 31, 2014           2013 ($ in thousands)   Cost of maintenance services $ 4 $ 17 Cost of professional services (32 ) 16 Research and development 132 210 Sales and marketing 161 567 General and administrative   649     307 Total share-based compensation expense $ 914   $ 1,117   Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 2013 ($ in thousands)   Cost of maintenance services $ 37 $ 31 Cost of professional services (7 ) 41 Research and development 417 350 Sales and marketing 1,056 937 General and administrative   1,101     507 Total share-based compensation expense $ 2,604   $ 1,866  

Stock options

The Company has an incentive award plan that provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.

Stock option grants to officers and key employees under the incentive award plan are generally granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, generally expire ten years after their original date of grant and generally become vested and exercisable after four years at a rate of 25% per year beginning twelve months after the date of grant and 6.25% vesting every three months thereafter.

The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted.

The table below summarizes activity relating to stock options for the six months ended December 31, 2014:

                Number of shares (shares in thousands)   Options outstanding at July 1, 2014 4,946 Granted 93 Exercised (151 ) Forfeited/expired (20 ) Options outstanding at December 31, 2014 4,868   Options exercisable at December 31, 2014 4,047

Note 9: Commitments and contingencies

Litigation and other claims

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims relating to labor, service and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management judgment is required in deciding the amount and timing of the accrual of certain contingencies. Depending on the timing of when conditions or situations arise, a contingency becoming probable and estimable is not necessarily determinable. The amount of the contingency may change in the future as incremental knowledge, factors or other matters change or become known. There are no material pending or threatened lawsuits against the Company.

Guarantees and other

The Company includes indemnification provisions in the contracts it enters into with customers and business partners. Generally, these provisions require us to defend claims arising out of the Company’s products’ infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, breach of contractual obligations and/or unlawful or otherwise culpable conduct. The indemnity obligations generally cover damages, costs and attorneys’ fees arising out of such claims. In most, but not all cases, the Company’s total liability under such provisions is limited to either the value of the contract or a specified, agreed upon amount. In some cases our total liability under such provisions is unlimited. In many, but not all, cases, the term of the indemnity provision is perpetual. While the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under all the indemnification provisions is unlimited, we believe the estimated fair value of these provisions is de-minimis due to the low frequency with which these provisions have been triggered.

The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. These agreements, among other things, indemnify directors and officers for expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by such persons in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company, regardless of whether the individual is serving in any such capacity at the time the liability or expense is incurred. Additionally, in connection with certain acquisitions we have agreed to indemnify the former officers and members of the boards of directors of those companies, on similar terms as described above, for a period of six years from the acquisition date. In certain cases we purchase director and officer insurance policies related to these obligations, which fully cover the six year periods. To the extent that we do not purchase a director and officer insurance policy for the full period of any contractual indemnification, we would be required to pay for costs incurred, if any, as described above.
