Business Overview

Harris Interactive is a professional services firm that provides full service market research and polling services which include ad-hoc and customized qualitative and quantitative research, service bureau research (conducted for other market research firms), and long-term tracking studies.

We conduct market research projects for clients in many industries, including the automotive, transportation, travel, tourism, energy, professional services, consumer goods, restaurants, retail, financial services, healthcare, public affairs and policy, technology, media and telecommunications industries. We also offer consultative solutions in areas such as market assessment, product development, brand and communications, stakeholder relationships, reputation management, and youth and education.

We conduct a significant portion of our market research using online data collection. We also conduct data collection through, among others, mail and telephone surveys, focus groups, and personal interviews. During fiscal 2012, our telephone data collection was conducted through our telephone data collection centers in Canada and, prior to the sale of our U.K. telephone data collection center to a third-party in August 2011 and the closure of our telephone data collection centers in Hong Kong and Singapore in September 2011, the U.K., Hong Kong and Singapore. In fiscal 2012, we also used third party telephone data collection providers.

Our Products and Services

Custom Research

We conduct many types of custom research including customer satisfaction surveys, market share studies, new product introduction studies, brand recognition studies, reputation studies, ad concept testing and more. A custom research project has three distinct phases:

Survey Design — Initial meetings are conducted with the client to clearly define the objectives and reasons for the study to ensure that the final data collected will meet the

client’s needs. Based on the client’s requirements, we then determine the proper data collection process (such as a mail, telephone or online survey, focus groups, personal interviews, or any combination thereof), sampling scheme (the demographics and number of people to be surveyed) and survey design or focus group protocol.

Data Collection — Field data collection is conducted through online or telephone interviewing, by mail or in person, by holding focus group meetings, or any combination of the above. Multiple quality assurance processes are employed to ensure that the survey data are accurately reported and that the correct number and type of interviews have been completed.

Weighting, Analysis, and Reporting — We review the collected data for sufficiency and completeness, weight the data accordingly, and then analyze by desired demographic, business or industry characteristics. A comprehensive report that typically includes recommendations is then prepared and delivered to the client.

Our sample design and questionnaire development techniques help ensure that appropriate information is collected and that the information satisfies the specific inquiries of our clients. We have developed in-depth data collection techniques to enhance the integrity and reliability of our sample database. Our survey methodology is intended to ensure that responses are derived from the appropriate decision-makers in each category. As a result, we have a solid foundation for delivering data and insight that meets our clients’ needs.

Tracking Study Research

We apply our expertise to the design, execution and maintenance of custom, online tracking studies for clients in a broad range of industries and around the globe. Tracking studies regularly ask identical questions to similar demographic groups within a constant interval (once a month, once a quarter, etc.) to feed business decision-makers with dynamic data and intelligence that enables them to:

Measure, sustain and improve customer loyalty,

Gather market and customer intelligence relative to the brand and category,

Detect emerging market trends and/or potential competitive threats,

Assess the impact of marketing on customer behaviors and attitudes, and

Identify opportunities for growth.

Service Bureau Research

Through our service bureau group, we provide our market research industry and other clients with mixed-mode data collection, panel development services, access to respondents through a sample-only offering, and syndicated and tracking research consultation.

Multi-Client Research

We offer a portfolio of multi-client offerings — specialized studies that are available immediately or, in some cases, within a very short time period. These studies span a variety of issues and industries, and the same studies are sold to multiple clients.

Omnibus Research

Our omnibus services cover a range of online, telephone and face-to-face solutions that are offered worldwide. These services allow our clients to obtain fast information at a lower cost than traditional custom market research studies.

Research and Development

We have not incurred expenditures for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 that would be classified as research and development as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for research and development expenses.

Our Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

We believe that the Harris brand and its associated intellectual property provide us with many competitive advantages. To protect our brand and our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade-secret laws, as well as confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-compete and license agreements, and clearly defined standard terms and conditions in our sales contracts.

Our Clients

At June 30, 2012, we had approximately 1,400 clients. No single client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue.

Our Competition and Competitive Advantages

We compete with numerous market research firms, as well as corporations and individuals that perform market research studies on an isolated basis, many of which have market shares or financial and marketing resources larger than our own. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, GfK AG, Ipsos SA, and companies within Kantar (owned by WPP Group plc), including TNS and Millward Brown.

We believe we have a number of competitive advantages, including:

Our Highly Skilled Employees — many of whom are recognized by their peers as leaders in the field of market research or in the particular industry sectors in which they specialize.

Our Strong Brand — we believe that Harris Interactive and The Harris Poll are two of the best known and most trusted names for U.S. market research and public opinion polling today. We have expanded The Harris Poll throughout Europe and expect to continue our relationships with The Financial Times (London), International Herald Tribune, and France 24 (Paris), in order to raise awareness of the Harris Interactive brand on a global scale.

Our Online Panel — our online panel consists of individuals from around the world who have voluntarily agreed to participate in our various online research studies. Our panel enables us to:

project results to large segments of the population, such as “all U.S. voters” or “all British adults”,

conduct a broad range of studies across a wide set of industries,

rapidly survey very large numbers of the general population, and

survey certain low-incidence, hard-to-find subjects.

Our Specialty Sub-Panels — we have developed numerous specialty sub-panels of hard-to-find respondents. Our clients value our ability to survey these hard to find subjects. Many of our clients have asked us to develop specialty sub-panels exclusively for their use.

Our Global Enterprise Solutions Portfolio — a comprehensive tool-box of research techniques, methodologies, and models that can be applied by marketing experts to help develop strategy, implement tactics, and assess their impact in the marketplace. These tools also can be used to analyze markets, develop new products and services, create and/or measure brand positioning and awareness, and measure and/or improve customer loyalty.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

We are comprised of operations in North America and Europe. Non-U.S. market research is comprised of operations in Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Our operations in Asia ceased as of September 30, 2011 and are classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods presented herein. There were no intercompany transactions that materially affected our financial statements, and all intercompany sales have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Our business model for offering market research is consistent across the geographic regions in which we operate. Geographic management facilitates local execution of our global strategies. We maintain global leaders with responsibility across all geographic regions for the majority of our critical business processes, and the most significant performance evaluations and resource allocations made by our chief operating decision-maker are made on a global basis. Accordingly, we have concluded that we have one reportable segment.

We have prepared the financial results for geographic information on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which management internally disaggregates information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We have allocated common expenses among these geographic regions differently than we would for stand-alone information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Geographic operating income (loss) may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below for a description of certain risks attendant to our non-U.S. operations.

Backlog

At June 30, 2012, we had a revenue backlog, also referred to as secured revenue, of approximately $42,502, as compared to a revenue backlog of approximately $44,711 at June 30, 2011. We estimate that substantially all of the backlog at June 30, 2012 will be recognized as revenue from services during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, based on our experience from prior years.

Employees

At June 30, 2012, we employed a total of 564 full-time individuals on a worldwide basis, 298 of whom were employed in the United States. In addition, we employed 120 part-time and hourly individuals on a worldwide basis for data gathering and processing activities, 8 of whom were employed in the United States. Temporary employees and hourly call center staff are not included in these headcount numbers.

None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Factors That May Affect Future Performance.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, we and our clients are affected by global economic conditions. The following section discusses many of these risks and uncertainties, but is not intended to be all-inclusive.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business is vulnerable to fluctuations in general economic conditions.

Our business tends to be adversely affected by slow or depressed business conditions in the market as a whole. Many of our clients treat all or a portion of their market research expenditures as discretionary. As global macroeconomic conditions decline and our clients seek to control variable costs, new bookings tend to slow, existing bookings become increasingly vulnerable to subsequent cancellations and delays, and our sales backlog may convert to revenue more slowly than it has historically. Any of the above factors may result in a material adverse impact to our growth, revenues, and earnings.

Failure to maintain our brand reputation and recognition could impair our ability to remain competitive.

We believe that maintaining our good brand reputation and recognition is critical to attracting and expanding our current client base as well as attracting and retaining qualified employees. If our reputation and name are damaged through, among others, our participation in surveys involving controversial topics or if the results of our surveys are inaccurate or are misused or used out of context by one of our clients, we may become less competitive or lose market share.

If we are unable to maintain adequate capacity and demographic composition of our existing online panel, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to maintain sufficient capacity of our online panel and its specialty sub-panels. Our ability to do this may be harmed if we lose panel capacity or are unable to attract and maintain an adequate number of replacement panelists and specialty sub-panel members. There are currently no industry or other benchmarks for determining the optimal size and composition of an online panel. Among other factors, panelist response rates vary with differing survey content, and the frequency with which panelists are willing to respond to survey invitations is variable. We constantly reassess our panel size and demographics as survey requests are made and, based upon availability of existing panelists to fulfill project requests, determine our need to recruit additional panelists. We are not always able to accommodate client requests to survey low-incidence, limited populations with specific demographic characteristics. If our need to recruit panelists or specialty sub-panel members increases significantly, our operating costs will rise. Further, our business will be adversely affected if we do not achieve sufficient response rates with our existing panelists or our panel narrows and we are unable to spend the funds necessary to recruit additional panelists.

We face competitive pressures within our industry and must continuously replace completed work with new projects.

The market research industry includes many competitors, some of which are much larger than we are, have a greater global presence, and/or have specialized products and services we do not offer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against current and future competitors and our failure to do so could result in loss of market share, diminished value in our

products and services, reduced pricing, and increased marketing expenditures. Furthermore, we may not be successful if we cannot compete effectively on quality of our services, timely delivery of information, customer service, and the ability to offer products and services to meet changing market needs or prices.

No one client accounts for more than 10% of our revenues and a significant portion of our revenues are derived on a project by project basis. We must continuously replace completed work with new projects from both existing and new clients, and competitive pressures may make it more difficult for us to do so and to sustain and grow our revenues. Additionally, a portion of our business involves longer-term tracking studies, which are often renewable on an annual basis. Non-renewal of a large tracking study can have an immediate disproportionate impact on our revenues, and we may have a lag time in replacing the non-renewed tracking study or adjusting our cost structure to reflect the effects of the non-renewal.

Our outstanding debt obligations and ability to comply with related covenants could impact our financial condition or future operating results.

At June 30, 2012, we had $6.0 million outstanding under our credit agreement, which provides for an amortizing term loan with quarterly payments and, subject to certain conditions, the availability of a maximum amount of $5.0 million under a revolving credit facility.

The affirmative, negative and financial covenants of our credit agreement could limit our future financial flexibility and could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, a failure to comply with these covenants could result in acceleration of all amounts outstanding under our credit agreement, which would materially impact our financial condition unless accommodations could be negotiated with our lenders. No assurance can be given that we would be successful in doing so in this current financial climate, or that any accommodations that we were able to negotiate would be on terms as favorable as those presently contained in our credit agreement.

The associated debt service costs of the borrowing arrangement under our credit agreement will continue to be reflected in operating results. The outstanding debt may limit the amount of cash or additional credit available to us, which could restrain our ability to expand or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressures, or pursue future business opportunities requiring substantial investments of additional capital.

Privacy and data protection laws may restrict our activities and increase our costs.

Various statutes and rules regulate conduct in areas such as privacy and data protection which may affect our collection, use, storage, and transfer of personally identifiable information both abroad and in the United States. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to make certain investments or may dictate that we not offer certain types of products and services or only offer such services or products after making necessary modifications. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in, among other things, civil and criminal liability, negative publicity, data being blocked from use, and liability under contractual warranties. In addition, there is an increasing public concern regarding data and consumer protection issues, and the number of jurisdictions with data protection laws has been increasing. There is also the possibility that the scope of existing privacy laws may be expanded. For example, several countries including the United States have regulations that restrict telemarketing to individuals who request to be included on a do-not-call list. Typically, these regulations target sales activity and do not apply to survey research. If the laws were extended to include survey research, our ability to recruit research participants could be adversely affected. These or future initiatives may adversely affect our ability to generate or assemble data or to develop or market current or future products or services, which could negatively impact our business.

Our services involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information. If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained, our services may be perceived as not being secure and panelists and survey respondents may hold us liable for disclosure of personal data, and customers may hold us liable or reduce their use of our services.

We store and transmit large volumes of proprietary information and data that contains personally identifiable information about individuals. Security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability, and our reputation could be damaged. For example, hackers or individuals who attempt to breach our network security could, if successful, misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our services. If we experience any breaches of our network security or sabotage, we might be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against or to alleviate problems. We may not be able to remedy any problems caused by hackers or saboteurs in a timely manner, or at all. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target and, as a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose current and potential clients.

Any unauthorized disclosure or theft of private information we gather could harm our business.

Unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information regarding our panelists and survey respondents, whether through breach of our secure network by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our business. If there were an inadvertent disclosure of personally identifiable information, or client confidential information, or if a third party were to gain unauthorized access to the personally identifiable or client confidential information we possess, our operations could be seriously disrupted and we could be subject to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by panel members or pursuant to the agreements with our customers. In addition, we could incur significant costs in complying with the multitude of state, federal and foreign laws regarding the unauthorized disclosure of personal information. Finally, any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of the information we collect could harm our reputation, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain panelists, and have an adverse impact on our business.

We must continue to attract and retain highly skilled employees.

Our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, sales and client support personnel. Research managers with industry expertise are important to our ability to retain and expand our business. Intense competition for these personnel exists, and we may be unable to attract, integrate or retain the proper number of sufficiently qualified personnel that our business plan assumes. In the past, we have from time to time experienced difficulty hiring and retaining qualified employees. There are few, if any, educational institutions that provide specialized training related to market research. Therefore, employees must be recruited in competition with other industries. In the past, competition for highly skilled employees has resulted in additional costs for recruitment, training, compensation and relocation or the provision of remote access to our facilities. We may continue in the future to experience difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. To the extent that we are unable to hire and retain skilled employees in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer.

We may require additional cash resources which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

We believe that our existing cash balances, projected cash flow from operations, and the borrowing capacity we have under our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet our expected cash requirements for the next twelve months.

We may, however, require additional cash resources due to unanticipated business conditions, to repay indebtedness or to pursue future business opportunities requiring substantial investments of additional capital. If our existing financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our requirements, we may seek to obtain additional borrowings or to monetize non-core assets. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, the incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would further restrict our operations. Further, our ability to access our revolving line of credit is subject to our compliance with the terms and conditions of our credit agreement, including financial covenants, the details of which are described in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with such terms and conditions.

Our international operations expose us to a variety of operational risks which could negatively impact our future revenue and growth.

Our operating results are subject to the risks inherent in international business activities, including general political and economic conditions in each country, changes in market demand as a result of tariffs and other trade barriers, challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations, changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with numerous foreign laws and regulations, differences between U.S. and foreign tax rates and laws, currency exchange fluctuations, problems in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods, issues related to repatriation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries, Internet access restrictions, protecting intellectual property rights in international jurisdictions, political instability, and anti-U.S. sentiment or terrorist activity against U.S. interests abroad. We have little or no control over these risks. For example, we have encountered more restrictive privacy laws in connection with our business operations in Europe, which have inhibited the growth of our European online panel. There can be no assurance we can effectively limit these risks, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on services provided by off-shore providers, the disruption of which could adversely impact our business

We rely on off-shore providers to provide certain of our programming and data processing services, as well as telephone and online data collection. Political or economic instability in countries where such support services are provided, or a significant increase in the costs of such services, could adversely affect our business. From time to time, laws and regulations are proposed in the jurisdictions where we operate that would restrict or limit the benefits of off-shore operations, the enactment of which could further harm our business. If any of these risks were to be realized and assuming that similar off-shore provider relationships could not be established, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected.

If we are unable to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights our competitive position may be harmed.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, confidentiality, non-compete and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized third parties may obtain and use technology or other information that we regard as proprietary. Our intellectual property rights may not survive a legal challenge to their validity or provide significant protection for us. The laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Accordingly, we may not be able to protect our intellectual property in such countries against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

We may be subject to liability for publishing or distributing content over the Internet.

We may be subject to claims relating to content that is published on or downloaded from our websites. We also may be subject to liability for content that is accessible from our website through links to other websites. For example, as part of our surveys panelists sometimes access, through our websites or linkages to our clients’ or other third parties’ websites, content provided by our clients, such as advertising copy, that may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. We also recruit panelists to participate in research sponsored and hosted by our clients on their websites, and we cannot necessarily control breaches of privacy policies, warranties, or other terms by those third parties. Additionally, we may be accused of sending bulk unsolicited email and have our email blocked by one or more Internet service providers and, therefore, our online data collection efforts may suffer.

Although we carry general and professional liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential liability claims for publishing or distributing content over the Internet, or may not be adequate to cover all costs incurred in defense of potential claims or to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. In addition, any claims of this type, with or without merit, would result in the diversion of our financial resources and management personnel.

Any failure in the performance of our technology infrastructure could harm our business.

Any system delays or failures, including network, software or hardware failures, that cause an interruption in our ability to communicate with our Internet panel, collect research data, or protect visual materials included in our surveys, could result in reduced revenue, impair our reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, earthquake, flooding, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins and similar events. Also, the redundancy of our systems may not be adequate. We have experienced technical difficulties and downtime of individual components of our systems in the past, and we believe that technical difficulties and downtime may occur from time to time in the future. The impact of technical difficulties and downtime may be severe. We have not fully implemented a formal disaster recovery plan, and our business interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to failures in our systems.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our business may be harmed if we cannot maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market.

Variations in our operating results may cause our stock price to fluctuate. Our quarterly operating results have in the past, and may in the future, fluctuate significantly and we may incur losses in any given quarter. Our future results of operations may fall below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If this happens, the price of our common stock would likely decline. Other factors, such as general market conditions and investors’ perceptions of our longer term prospects, also may cause fluctuations in the price of our common stock.

To maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Market we must satisfy certain minimum financial and other continued listing standards. On June 13, 2011, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying us that we were not in compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Select Market set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”), as a result of the bid price of our common stock having closed below $1.00 for the thirty consecutive business days prior to the date of the letter.

The Staff’s letter advised us that, in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until December 12, 2011, to regain compliance. The letter further advised that such compliance could be achieved if, at any time before December 12, 2011, the bid price of our common stock closed at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

We did not regain compliance with the Rule on or prior to December 12, 2011 and, accordingly, on December 13, 2011, we received a second letter from the Staff stating that our common stock would be subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Global Select Market as a result of the deficiency unless we requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) on or before December 20, 2011.

Accordingly, we requested and received a hearing before the Panel. On February 21, 2012, we were notified by the Panel that our request for an extension of time to satisfy the $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was granted. Pursuant to the terms of the Panel’s decision, we were required to evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or before June 11, 2012. On March 23, 2012, we received a notice from NASDAQ indicating that we had met the requirements of the Panel’s decision, and were in compliance with all other applicable requirements for listing on NASDAQ. Accordingly, the Panel determined to continue the listing of our securities on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, and closed the matter.

If our common stock loses its status on The NASDAQ Global Select Market in the future and we are not successful in obtaining a listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, shares of our common stock would likely trade in the over-the-counter market. If our common stock were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our common stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common stock is de-listed, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens that may discourage them from affecting transactions in our common stock, further limiting the liquidity of our common stock. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the trading price, liquidity, value and marketability of our common stock.

Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period and may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors or forward-looking statements we have made, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, some of which are outside our control, including declines in general economic conditions or the budgets of our clients, changes in the demand for market research and polling products and services, currency fluctuations, the timing of client projects, and competition in the industry, and others which are partially within our control, including the amount of new business generated, effective management of the professional services aspects of our business, including utilization and realization rates, the mix of domestic and international business, and the timing of the development, introduction and marketing of new products and services. An inability to generate sufficient earnings and cash flow may impact our operating and other activities. The potential fluctuations in our operating results could cause period-to-period comparisons of operating results not to be meaningful and may provide an unreliable indication of future operating results. Furthermore, our operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in the future or forward-looking statements we have made. If this occurs, the price of our stock would likely decline.

Our stock price may be volatile, and investors may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price they paid.

The trading prices of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in operating results, developments in the industries in which we do business, general economic conditions, general market conditions, changes in the nature and

composition of our stockholder base, changes in securities analysts’ recommendations regarding our securities, and our performance relative to securities analysts’ expectations for any quarterly period. Further, even though our stock is quoted on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, our stock has had and may continue to have low trading volume and high volatility. The historically low trading volume of our stock makes it more likely that a significant fluctuation in volume, either up or down, will significantly impact the stock price. Because of the relatively low trading volume of our stock, our stockholders may have difficulty selling our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Such volatility may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter and applicable law could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company.

Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for the division of the Board into three classes, eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting, and provides the Board with the power to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. The preferred stock could have voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights established by the Board that are superior to those of our common stock. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions that impose restrictions on stockholder action to acquire our company. The effect of these provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law could discourage or prevent third parties from seeking to obtain control of us, including transactions in which the holders of common stock might receive a premium for their shares over prevailing market prices.

The Board also adopted a stockholder rights plan, pursuant to which we declared and paid a dividend of one right for each share of common stock outstanding as of March 29, 2005, and one right attaches to each share issued thereafter until a specified date. Unless redeemed by us prior to the time the rights are exercised, upon the occurrence of certain events, the rights will entitle the holders to receive upon exercise of each right shares of our preferred stock, or shares of an acquiring entity, having a value equal to the exercise price of the right divided by 50% of the then market price of our common stock. The issuance of the rights could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012:

Revenue from services was $147,503, down 8.2% from fiscal 2011. Excluding foreign exchange rate differences, revenue was down 8.1% from fiscal 2011. The decrease was driven by declines in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, as discussed further under “Results of Operations – Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 Versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011”.

Bookings were down 8.1% compared with the same prior year period, excluding foreign exchange rate differences. The decrease was driven by decreased bookings in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, as discussed further under “Significant Factors Affecting Company Performance – Key Operating Metrics”.

Our operating loss was $2,806, compared with $6,034 for the same prior year period. Our operating loss for fiscal 2012 included $7,530 in restructuring and other charges, compared with $5,100 for fiscal 2011. These restructuring and other charges were deemed necessary to right-size our business.

We had $11,456 in cash at June 30, 2012, down from $14,084 at June 30, 2011. While cash decreased, it is important to note that our cash funded our debt principal payments and payments related to restructuring and other charges during fiscal 2012.

Our outstanding debt at June 30, 2012 was $5,993, down from $10,787 at June 30, 2011 as a result of quarterly principal payments made throughout fiscal 2012.

At June 30, 2011, we were not in compliance with the leverage and interest coverage ratio covenants contained in our credit agreement largely due to the magnitude of restructuring and other charges incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. As a result, on September 27, 2011, we entered into an amendment agreement and waiver to our credit agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreement and waiver, these covenant violations were permanently waived. The amendment agreement and waiver includes both the addition and modification of certain definitions, terms, and financial covenants in our credit agreement. Obligations under our credit agreement continue to be secured by our domestic assets and 66% of the equity interests in first tier foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC Topic 470, we evaluated the change in cash flows, determined that there was not a greater than 10% change, and concluded that the amendment agreement and waiver did not result in an extinguishment of debt.

The credit facilities under our credit agreement consist of our term loan, which matures September 30, 2013, and a revolving line of credit. A maximum amount of $5,000 remains available under the revolving line of credit, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. Pursuant to the amendment agreement and waiver, until we achieved trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA of $5,000, borrowings under the revolving line of credit are limited to the lesser of $2,000 or our net U.S. accounts receivable, defined as our U.S. accounts receivable plus our U.S. unbilled accounts receivable, less our deferred revenue. The amendment agreement and waiver did not change the principal amount outstanding under, or the payment terms of, the term loan. Pursuant to the amendment agreement and waiver, the manner in which outstanding amounts accrue interest remained unchanged, except that the Eurodollar Applicable Rate (Adjusted LIBO Applicable Rate) and ABR Applicable Rate were fixed at 5.50% and 4.50%, respectively, through March 31, 2012.

The amendment agreement and waiver impacted certain financial covenants, as follows:

The consolidated interest coverage ratio and consolidated total leverage ratio covenants contained in our credit agreement were suspended for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012. During each of those fiscal quarters, we were subject to trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA covenants of $4,548, $3,817 and $4,424, respectively.

For fiscal quarters commencing on or after April 1, 2012, we are subject to the consolidated interest coverage ratio and consolidated total leverage ratio covenants contained in our credit agreement.

Cash paid to fund restructuring and other charges incurred on or before September 30, 2011 was limited to amounts agreed upon in the amendment agreement and waiver.

We were required to maintain minimum global cash of $7,000 and U.S. cash of $1,000 through June 30, 2012, and now are again subject to only a minimum global cash requirement of $5,000.

At June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our credit agreement, as amended by the amendment agreement and waiver agreement.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring

Fiscal 2012

During fiscal 2012, we continued to take actions designed to re-align the cost structure of our U.S. and U.K. operations.

We reduced headcount at our U.S. facilities throughout fiscal 2012, as follows:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we reduced headcount by a total of 23 full-time employees and incurred $389 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in July and August 2011 and all actions were completed at those respective times. Related cash payments were completed by February 2012.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we reduced headcount by a total of 10 full-time employees and incurred $260 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in October and December 2011 and all actions were completed at those respective times. Related cash payments were completed by March 2012.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we reduced headcount by a total of 20 full-time employees and incurred $644 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in June 2012 and all actions were completed at that time. Related cash payments will be completed by December 2012.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we reduced headcount at our U.K. facilities by a total of 56 full-time employees and incurred $1,008 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in July 2011 and all actions were completed at that time. Related cash payments were completed by January 2012.

Throughout fiscal 2012, we reduced our occupancy of leased office space. Specifically, we reduced our occupancy of leased office space at our Rochester, New York, Princeton, New Jersey, Reston, Virginia, Brentford, United Kingdom, and Ottawa, Canada facilities. We incurred $5,705 in lease exit costs associated with the remaining lease obligations, all of which involve cash payments. All actions associated with the leased office space reductions were completed by June 2012, and all cash payments will be completed by June 2015.

Fiscal 2011

During the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011, we took actions designed to re-align the cost structure of our U.K. operations. Specifically, we reduced headcount at our U.K. facilities by a total of 27 full-time employees and incurred $834 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in December 2010 and April 2011 and all actions were completed at those respective times. Related cash payments were completed in June 2011.

During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011, we took actions designed to re-align the cost structure of our U.S. operations. Specifically, we reduced headcount at our U.S. facilities by a total of 21 full-time employees and incurred $330 in one-time termination benefits, all of which involved cash payments. The reductions in staff were communicated to the affected employees in December 2010 and April 2011 and all actions were completed at those respective times. Related cash payments were completed in June 2011.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we reduced our occupancy of leased office space at our Norwalk, Connecticut, Brentford, United Kingdom, and Portland, Oregon facilities. We incurred $1,942 in lease exit costs associated with the remaining lease obligations, all of which involve cash payments. All actions associated with the leased office space reductions were completed in June 2011, and all cash payments will be completed in June 2015.

Other Charges

Other charges reflected in the “Restructuring and other charges” line shown on our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 included the following:

Post-employment payments to former senior executives — In connection with their departures from the Company during fiscal 2011, we reached negotiated settlements with Kimberly Till, Pavan Bhalla and Enzo Micali. Under the separation agreements, as modified, cash payments to Ms. Till are due to be completed in December 2012, while all cash payments to Messrs. Bhalla and Micali were completed during fiscal 2012.

Other — For fiscal 2011, “Other” included costs associated with reorganizing the operational structure of our Canadian operations. In October 2011, our obligation to fund those costs lapsed and accordingly, a credit of $331 was recognized at that time. For fiscal 2010, “Other” included costs incurred to close our telephone-based data collection center in Brentford, United Kingdom.

Discontinued Operations

In July 2011, our Board of Directors approved the closure of our operations in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai (collectively, “Harris Asia”). This decision was based on the Board’s determination that Harris Asia’s operations did not adequately support our strategic objectives. While the operations of Harris Asia ceased as of September 30, 2011, significant future cash flows attributable to those operations as a result of collecting outstanding accounts receivable and settling accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 had not yet been eliminated. As such, we determined that Harris Asia’s operations did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

In connection with our closure of Harris Asia, the following charges were initially recognized in the “Restructuring and other charges” line shown on our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011:


Writeoff of intangible assets	$	489
Termination benefits to former employees		390
Payments to terminate office and equipment leases		231
Professional fees		180
Writeoff of fixed assets		149
Other		(23	)

	$	1,416

The foregoing charges were reclassified to discontinued operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, since all significant future cash flows attributable to Harris Asia had been eliminated at that time.

The revenues and losses attributable to Harris Asia and reported in discontinued operations were as follows for the fiscal years ended June 30:


	2012			2011			2010
Revenues	$	493		$	4,600		$	4,868
Loss from discontinued operations		(1,854	)		(756	)		(1,043	)

The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were as follows:


	At June 30, 2012		At June 30, 2011
Cash and cash equivalents	$	—	$	140
Accounts receivable, net		—		1,433
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		—		32
Property, plant and equipment, net		—		156
Other intangibles, net		—		541
Other assets		—		59

Assets from discontinued operations	$	—	$	2,361

Accounts payable	$	—	$	213
Accrued expenses		181		325
Deferred revenue		—		475

Liabilities from discontinued operations	$	181	$	1,013

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. The most significant of these areas involving difficult or complex judgments made by management with respect to the preparation of our financial statements in fiscal 2012 include:

Revenue recognition;

Impairment of other intangible assets;

Impairment of long-lived assets;

Income taxes;

Stock-based compensation;

HIpoints loyalty program; and

Contingencies and other accruals.

In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from services on a proportional performance basis. In assessing contract performance, both input and output criteria are reviewed. Costs incurred are used as an objective input measure of performance. The primary input of all work performed under these arrangements is labor. As a result of the relationship between labor and cost, there is normally a direct relationship between

the costs incurred and the proportion of the contract performed to date. Costs incurred as an initial proportion of expected total costs is used as an initial proportional performance measure. This indicative proportional performance measure is always subsequently validated against more subjective criteria (i.e., relevant output measures) such as the percentage of interviews completed, percentage of reports delivered to a client and the achievement of any project milestones stipulated in the contract. In the event of divergence between the objective and more subjective measures, the more subjective measures take precedence since these are output measures.

Clients are obligated to pay based upon services performed, and in the event that a client cancels the contract, the client is responsible for payment for services performed through the date of cancellation. Losses expected to be incurred, if any, on jobs in progress are charged to income as soon as it becomes probable that such losses will occur. Invoices to clients in the ordinary course are generated based upon the achievement of specific events, as defined by each contract, including deliverables, timetables, and incurrence of certain costs. Such events may not be directly related to the performance of services. Revenues earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings are classified as unbilled receivables. Amounts billed in excess of revenues earned are classified as deferred revenue.

Revisions to estimated costs and differences between actual contract losses and estimated contract losses would affect both the timing of revenue allocated and the results of our operations.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to the estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger a review for impairment include the following:

Significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

Significant changes in the manner of our use of acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;

Significant negative industry or economic trends;

Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and

Significant decline in our market capitalization relative to net book value.

We are required to amortize intangible assets with estimable useful lives over their respective estimated useful lives to the estimated residual values, and to review intangible assets with estimable useful lives for impairment in accordance with the FASB guidance for property, plant and equipment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We account for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets in accordance with the FASB guidance for property, plant and equipment. Events that trigger a test for recoverability include material adverse changes in the projected revenues and expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. A test for recoverability also is performed when we have committed to a plan to sell or otherwise dispose of an asset group and the plan is expected to be completed within a year. Recoverability of an asset group is evaluated by comparing its carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the comparison indicates that the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously-recognized long-lived asset impairment loss is not allowed.

We estimate the fair value of an asset group based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the asset could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, we estimate the fair value of the asset group using the income approach and/or the market approach. The income approach uses cash flow projections. Inherent in our development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of our operating results, approved business plans, expected growth rates and cost of capital, among others. We also make certain assumptions about future economic conditions, interest rates, and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods.

Changes in assumptions or estimates could materially affect the determination of fair value of an asset group, and therefore could affect the amount of potential impairment of the asset. The following assumptions are key to our income approach:

Business Projections — We make assumptions about the level of demand for our services in the marketplace. These assumptions drive our planning assumptions for revenue growth. We also make assumptions about our cost levels. These assumptions are key inputs for developing our cash flow projections. These projections are derived using our internal business plans.

Growth Rate — The growth rate is the expected rate at which an asset group’s earnings stream is projected to grow beyond the planning period.

Economic Projections — Assumptions regarding general economic conditions are included in and affect our assumptions regarding revenue from services. These macroeconomic assumptions include inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases.

The FASB guidance for income taxes requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We evaluate the weight of the available evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The decision to record a valuation allowance requires varying degrees of judgment based upon the nature of the item giving rise to the deferred tax asset. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable is based on significant estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible that changes in these estimates in the near term could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We apply the FASB guidance for uncertain tax positions, which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Although we believe we have adequately provided for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given with respect to the final outcome of these matters. We adjust reserves for our uncertain tax positions due to changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is

different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which such a determination is made. Our provisions for income taxes include the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate and also include the related interest and penalties.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the FASB guidance for stock-based compensation. For share-based payments granted subsequent to July 1, 2005, compensation expense based on the grant date fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. In determining the fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which employs the following assumptions:

Expected volatility — based on historical volatilities from daily share price observations for our stock covering a period commensurate with the expected term of the options granted.

Expected life of the option — based on the vesting terms of the respective option and a contractual life of ten years, calculated using the “simplified method” as allowed by ASC 718-10 and corroborated through review of the expected life assumptions of publicly-traded market research companies.

Risk-free rate — based on the implied yield available at the time the options were granted on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option when granted.

Dividend yield — based on our historical practice of electing not to pay dividends to our stockholders.

Expected volatility and the expected life of the options granted, both of which impact the fair value of the options calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, involve management’s best estimates at that time. The weighted-average assumptions used to value options during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are set forth in Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the price per share of our common stock on the date of grant. We grant options to purchase our stock at fair value as of the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options or restricted shares that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior and the vesting period of the respective stock options or restricted shares. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

HIpoints Loyalty Program

Our HIpoints loyalty program is designed to reward respondents who register for our online panel, complete online surveys and refer others to join our online panel. The earned points are non-transferable and may be redeemed for gifts from a specific product folio at any time prior to expiration. Points awarded under the HIpoints program expire after twelve months of account inactivity, if a panelist cancels his or her registration or opts out of the program, or if the e-mail address used by a panelist for the program is no longer valid. We maintain a reserve for our obligations with respect to future redemption of outstanding points based on the expected redemption rate of the points. This expected redemption rate is based on our actual redemption rates since the inception of the program. An actual redemption rate that differs from the expected redemption rate could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Contingencies and Other Accruals

From time to time, we record accruals for severance costs both in connection with formal restructuring programs and in the normal course, lease costs associated with excess facilities, contract terminations, and asset impairments as a result of actions we undertake to streamline our organization, reposition certain businesses and reduce ongoing costs. Estimates of costs to be incurred to complete these actions, such as future lease payments, sublease income, the fair value of assets, and severance and related benefits, are based on assumptions at the time the actions are initiated. To the extent actual costs differ from those estimates, reserve levels may need to be adjusted. In addition, these actions may be revised due to changes in business conditions that we did not foresee at the time such actions were approved. Additionally, we record accruals for estimated incentive compensation costs during each year. Amounts accrued at the end of each reporting period are based on our estimates and may require adjustment as the ultimate amount paid for these incentives are sometimes not finally determinable until the completion of our fiscal year end closing process.

Explanation of Key Financial Statement Captions

Revenue from Services

We recognize revenue from services on a proportional performance basis, as more particularly described above in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Revenue Recognition”.

Our revenue from services is derived principally from the following:

Custom Research — including, but not limited to, customer satisfaction surveys, market share studies, new product introduction studies, brand recognition studies, reputation studies, and ad concept testing.

Tracking Studies — studies that regularly ask identical questions to similar demographic groups within a constant interval (once a month, once a quarter, etc.) to provide business decision-makers with dynamic data and intelligence.

Service Bureau Research — data collection and other services that we perform primarily for market research industry clients.

Cost of Services

Our direct costs associated with generating revenues principally consist of the following items:

Project Personnel — Project personnel have four distinct roles: project management, survey design, data collection, and data analysis. We maintain project personnel in North America and Europe. Labor costs are specifically allocated to the projects they relate to. We utilize a timekeeping system that tracks the time of project personnel as incurred for each specific revenue-generating project to determine the labor costs allocable to such project.

Respondent Incentives — Our panelists receive both cash and non-cash incentives (through programs such as our HIpoints loyalty program) for participating in our surveys. We award cash incentives to our respondents for participating in surveys, which are earned when we receive timely and complete survey responses. Non-cash incentives in the form of points are awarded to respondents who register for our online panel, complete online surveys, and refer others to join our online panel. The earned points are non-transferable and may be redeemed for gifts from a specific product folio at any time prior to their expiration.

Data Processing — We manage the processing of survey data using our own employees. We also engage third-party suppliers to perform data processing on an as-needed basis.

Other Direct Costs — Other direct costs include direct purchases, principally labor and materials, related to data collection and analysis, and the amortization of software developed for internal use.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense includes the following:

payroll and related costs, including commissions, for sales and marketing professionals;

payroll and related costs for staff in the areas of finance, human resources, information technology, legal, and executive management; and

other indirect costs necessary to support the business, including among others, office rents, travel, stock-based compensation, and public company costs.

Operating Income (Loss)

We calculate operating income (loss) as revenue from services less total operating expenses. Operating income (loss) represents only those amounts that relate to our consolidated operations and does not include interest income and expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, or loss on extinguishment of debt.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes includes current and deferred income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is necessary to reduce a deferred tax asset to an amount that we expect to realize in the future. We continually review the adequacy of our valuation allowance and adjust it based on whether or not our assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that these benefits will be realized.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the results of our operations, expressed both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of revenue from services, for the fiscal years ended June 30:

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2012 Versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011

Revenue from services. Revenue from services decreased by $13,161, or 8.2%, to $147,503 for fiscal 2012 compared with fiscal 2011. As more fully described below, revenue from services was impacted by several factors. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate differences, revenue from services in fiscal 2012 was down 8.1% compared with fiscal 2011.

North American revenue decreased by $6,304 to $109,741 for fiscal 2012 compared with fiscal 2011, a decrease of 5.4%. By country, North American revenue for fiscal 2012 was comprised of:

Revenue from U.S. operations of $87,190, down 6.1% compared with $92,885 for fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue impact from bookings declines in our U.S. operations during fiscal 2012.

Revenue from Canadian operations of $22,551, down 2.6% compared with $23,160 for fiscal 2011. In local currency (Canadian Dollar), Canadian revenue decreased by 2.6% compared with fiscal 2011. The decrease was due primarily to the loss of a large project in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and declines in bookings for our Canadian service bureau business during fiscal 2012.

European revenue decreased by $6,857 to $37,762 for fiscal 2012 compared with fiscal 2011, a decrease of 15.4%. By country, European revenue for fiscal 2012 was comprised of:

Revenue from U.K. operations of $15,264, down 33.2% compared with $22,864 for fiscal 2011. In local currency (British Pound), U.K. revenue decreased by 33.5% compared with fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the expected impact of our U.K. restructuring actions discussed above under “Restructuring and Other Charges”, which were designed to scale back our U.K. business to focus on core markets and key solutions areas.

Revenue from French operations of $14,536, up 3.2% compared with $14,092 for fiscal 2011. In local currency (Euro), French revenue increased by 5.5% compared with fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to the French management team’s focus on and success in selling to new and existing clients across several industry sectors during the first half of fiscal 2012.

Revenue from German operations of $7,962, up 3.9% compared with $7,663 for fiscal 2011. In local currency (Euro), German revenue increased by 2.5% compared with fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to winning and delivering certain projects during the second half of fiscal 2012 that had been deferred as a result of delays in spending by certain of our German clients during the first half of the fiscal year.

Cost of services. Cost of services was $91,902 or 62.3% of total revenue for fiscal 2012, compared with $105,976 or 66.0% of total revenue for fiscal 2011. Cost of services for fiscal 2012 was principally impacted by direct labor savings and operational efficiencies derived from the restructuring actions discussed above under “Restructuring and Other Charges”.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal 2012 was $46,270 or 31.4% of total revenue, compared with $49,701 or 30.9% of total revenue for fiscal 2011. Selling, general and administrative expense was principally impacted by the following:

$1,967 decrease in payroll-related expense as a result of the headcount reductions during fiscal 2012, as described above under “Restructuring and Other Charges”; and

$1,344 decrease in rent expense as a result of reducing our facilities footprint during fiscal 2011 and 2012, as described above under “Restructuring and Other Charges”.

The remainder of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expense was the result of decreases across a number of other operating expense categories because of our continued efforts to properly align our cost structure with the needs of our business.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $4,607 or 3.1% of total revenue for fiscal 2012, compared with $5,921 or 3.7% of total revenue for fiscal 2011. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for fiscal 2012 when compared with fiscal 2011 was the result of fixed and intangible assets that became fully depreciated or amortized during fiscal 2012 combined with capital spending that was lower than historical levels as part of our overall focus on controlling costs.

Restructuring and other charges. See above under “Restructuring and Other Charges” for further discussion regarding restructuring and other charges incurred during fiscal 2012 and 2011.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was $689 or less than 1% of total revenue for fiscal 2012, compared with $1,171 or less than 1% of total revenue for fiscal 2011. The decrease in net interest expense for fiscal 2012 as compared with fiscal 2011 reflects the impact of the decline in our outstanding debt as we continue to make required principal payments.

Income taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $234 for fiscal 2012, compared with an income tax provision of $492 for fiscal 2011. For both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, our tax provisions were comprised mainly of tax expense related to income in certain of our foreign jurisdictions.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011 Versus Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010

Revenue from services. Revenue from services decreased by $2,883, or 1.8%, to $160,664 for fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010. As more fully described below, revenue from services was impacted by several factors. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate differences, revenue from services in fiscal 2011 was down 2.9% compared with fiscal 2010.

North American revenue decreased by $1,550 to $116,045 for fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010, a decrease of 1.3%. By country, North American revenue for fiscal 2011 was comprised of:

Revenue from U.S. operations of $92,885, down 4.2% compared with $96,942 for fiscal 2010. This decline was driven mainly by declines of:

9.8% in our Healthcare sector, driven by the revenue impact of bookings decreases experienced during the first nine months of fiscal 2011;

10.7% in our Financial Services sector, driven mainly by the loss of a large tracking study;

17.1% in our Consumer Goods, Restaurant and Retail sector, as a result of a non-recurring project that was sold and delivered during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010; and

6.4% in our Technology, Media and Telecom sector, driven mainly by the loss of a large tracking study.

Revenue from Canadian operations of $23,160, up 12.1% compared with $20,653 for fiscal 2010. In local currency (Canadian Dollar), Canadian revenue increased by 5.7% compared with fiscal 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to revenue from work on a large tracking study that was won during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

European revenue decreased by $1,332 to $44,619 for fiscal 2011 compared with fiscal 2010, a decrease of 2.9%. By country, European revenue for fiscal 2011 was comprised of:

Revenue from U.K. operations of $22,864, down 19.5% compared with $28,398 for fiscal 2010. In local currency (British Pound), U.K. revenue decreased by 20.4% compared with fiscal 2010. The decrease was due primarily to the revenue impact of a large tracking study that was not renewed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as well as challenging market conditions across several industry sectors.

Revenue from French operations of $14,092, up 19.8% compared with $11,764 for fiscal 2010. In local currency (Euro), French revenue increased by 18.8% compared with fiscal 2010. The increase was due primarily to continued success in selling to new and existing clients across several industry sectors.

Revenue from German operations of $7,663, up 32.4% compared with $5,790 for fiscal 2010. In local currency (Euro), German revenue increased by 32.5% compared with fiscal 2010. Similar to our French operations, the increase was driven mainly by continued success in selling to new and existing clients across several industry sectors.

Cost of services. Cost of services was $105,976 or 66.0% of total revenue for fiscal 2011, compared with $103,987 or 63.6% of total revenue for fiscal 2010. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2011 was impacted by the differing types of custom research projects performed when compared with fiscal 2010.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for fiscal 2011 was $49,701 or 30.9% of total revenue, compared with $52,430 or 32.1% of total revenue for fiscal 2010. Selling, general and administrative expense was principally impacted by the following:

a $607 decrease in facilities-related expense, driven primarily by space reductions taken during fiscal 2010;

a $382 decrease in travel expense, driven primarily by our continued focus on controlling these costs;

a $255 decrease in payroll-related expenses, driven primarily by headcount reductions made throughout fiscal 2011; and

a $173 decrease in legal expenses, driven primarily by improved operational efficiency of our legal function.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $5,921 or 3.7% of total revenue for fiscal 2011, compared with $6,576 or 4.0% of total revenue for fiscal 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for fiscal 2011 when compared with fiscal 2010 was the result of fixed and intangible assets that became fully depreciated or amortized during fiscal 2011 combined with decreased capital spending as part of our overall focus on controlling costs.

Restructuring and other charges. See above under “Restructuring and Other Charges” for further discussion regarding restructuring and other charges incurred during fiscal 2011. We did not incur any restructuring and other charges during fiscal 2010.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. During fiscal 2010, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $724, of which $550 represented unamortized debt issuance costs, as a result of amending and restating our credit agreement on June 30, 2010. We did not incur a similar loss during fiscal 2011. Further financial information about our credit agreement is included in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was $1,171 or less than 1% of total revenue for fiscal 2011, compared with $1,827 or 1.1% of total revenue for fiscal 2010. The decrease in net interest expense for fiscal 2011 as compared with fiscal 2010 reflects the impact of the decline in our outstanding debt as we continue to make required principal payments, as well as the decline in our effective interest rate as a result of amending our credit agreement in June 2010.

Income taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $492 for fiscal 2011, compared with an income tax benefit of $1,052 for fiscal 2010. The tax provision for fiscal 2011 was comprised primarily of tax expense related to income in certain of our foreign jurisdictions. The tax benefit for fiscal 2010 was principally due to a U.S. tax law change which resulted in the recognition of an additional tax benefit of $1,103. In addition, a valuation allowance of approximately $300 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 against the net deferred tax assets of our U.K. operations due to the overall financial impact of revenue declines in that business.

Significant Factors Affecting Company Performance

Key Operating Metrics

We closely track certain key operating metrics, specifically bookings and secured revenue. These key operating metrics enable us to measure the current and forecasted performance of our business relative to historical trends.

Key operating metrics, by quarter, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, were as follows (U.S. Dollar amounts in millions):


	Q1 FY2011		Q2 FY2011		Q3 FY2011		Q4 FY2011		Total FY2011		Q1 FY2012		Q2 FY2012		Q3 FY2012		Q4 FY2012		Total FY2012
Bookings	$	34.5	$	54.4	$	39.0	$	34.0	$	161.9	$	32.1	$	45.2	$	39.5	$	28.5	$	145.3
Secured revenue	$	41.9	$	52.9	$	54.9	$	44.7		N/A	$	39.0	$	45.1	$	50.5	$	42.5		N/A

Additional information regarding each of the key operating metrics noted above is as follows:

Bookings are defined as the contract value of revenue-generating projects that are anticipated to take place during the next four fiscal quarters for which a firm client commitment was received during the current period, less any adjustments to prior period bookings due to contract value adjustments or project cancellations during the current period.

Bookings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $145.3 million, compared with $161.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Excluding foreign exchange rate differences, bookings were down 8.1% over the same prior year period. Bookings in local currency for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were principally impacted by the following:

U.S. bookings decreased by 5.2%, impacted significantly by our decision not to sell work that is not expected to yield sufficient profit margins.

Canadian bookings decreased by 14.2%, due primarily to the loss of a large project in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and declines in bookings for our Canadian service bureau business during fiscal 2012.

U.K bookings decreased by 24.7%, due primarily to the expected impact of our restructuring actions in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to scale back the U.K. business to focus on core markets and key solution areas.

German bookings decreased by 14.7%, due primarily to the loss of a large research project earlier in fiscal 2012.

French bookings increased by 2.5%, a modest increase over fiscal 2011.

Monitoring bookings enhances our ability to forecast long-term revenue and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and sales initiatives. However, we also are mindful that bookings often vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Information concerning our new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over time. There are no third-party

standards or requirements governing the calculation of bookings. New bookings involve estimates and judgments regarding new contracts and renewals, as well as extensions and additions to existing contracts. Subsequent cancellations, extensions and other matters may affect the amount of bookings previously reported.

Secured Revenue is defined as prior period secured revenue plus current period bookings, less revenue recognized on outstanding projects as of the end of the period.

Secured revenue helps us manage our future staffing levels more accurately and also is an indicator of the effectiveness of our marketing and sales initiatives. Based on our experience, projects included in secured revenue at the end of a fiscal period generally convert to revenue from services during the following twelve months.

Secured revenue at June 30, 2012 was $42.5 million, compared with $44.7 million at June 30, 2011. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate differences, secured revenue was down 4.9% over the same prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to the impact of bookings declines throughout fiscal 2012 when compared with fiscal 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table sets forth net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities, for the fiscal years ended June 30:


	2012			2011			2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,924		$	3,983		$	6,461
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,416	)		(810	)		(631	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(4,816	)		(4,555	)		(7,031	)

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,924 for fiscal 2012, essentially flat compared with $3,983 for fiscal 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,983 for fiscal 2011, compared with $6,461 for fiscal 2010. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was principally the result of an increase in fiscal 2011 net loss compared with fiscal 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,416 for fiscal 2012, compared with $810 for fiscal 2011. Investing activities during both fiscal 2011 and 2012 consisted solely of capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities was $810 for fiscal 2011, compared with $631 for fiscal 2010. Investing activities for fiscal 2010 included capital expenditures, which were offset by $998 in proceeds from the maturities and sales of marketable securities. Investing activities for fiscal 2011 consisted solely of capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $4,816 for fiscal 2012, compared with $4,555 for fiscal 2011. Cash used during both fiscal 2012 and 2011 was primarily for required principal payments on our outstanding debt and related amendment financing costs, along with repurchases of common stock through the Repurchase Program, offset by cash received from the purchase of shares by employees through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4,555 for fiscal 2011, compared with $7,031 for fiscal 2010. Cash used during both fiscal 2010 and 2011 was for required principal payments on our outstanding debt, partially offset by cash received from the purchase of shares by employees through

our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options. The required quarterly principal payments on our outstanding debt decreased from $1,731 to $1,199 in fiscal 2010 as a result of amending our credit agreement in June 2010.

Working Capital

At June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,456 compared with $14,084 at June 30, 2011. Available sources of cash to support known or reasonably likely cash requirements over the next 12 months include cash and cash equivalents on hand, additional cash that may be generated from our operations, and funds to the extent available through our credit facilities discussed below. While we believe that our available sources of cash, including funds available through our revolving line that are subject to certain minimum cash balance requirements, will support known or reasonably likely cash requirements over the next 12 months, including quarterly principal payments of $1,199 and interest payments due under our credit agreement, our ability to generate cash from our operations is dependent upon our ability to profitably generate revenue, which requires that we continually develop profitable new business, both for growth and to replace completed projects. Although work for no one client constitutes more than 10% of our revenue, we have had to find significant amounts of replacement and additional revenue as client relationships and work for continuing clients change and will likely have to continue to do so in the future. Our ability to profitably generate revenue depends not only on our execution of our business plans, but also on general market factors outside of our control. As many of our clients treat all or a portion of their market research expenditures as discretionary, our ability to profitably generate revenue is adversely impacted whenever there are adverse macroeconomic conditions in the markets we serve.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to, market acceptance of our products and services, the resources we allocate to the continuing development of new products and services, our technology infrastructure and online panels, and the marketing and selling of our products and services. We are able to control or defer certain capital and other expenditures in order to help preserve cash if necessary. We expect to incur capital expenditures of between $1,000 and $1,500 during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

Credit Facilities

The required principal repayments under our credit agreement for each of the two succeeding fiscal years are set forth in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. At June 30, 2012, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit and $345 of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit reduce the remaining undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit that is available for future borrowings.

At June 30, 2011, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit agreement largely due to the magnitude of restructuring and other charges incurred during fiscal 2011. On September 27, 2011, these covenant violations were permanently waived through an amendment agreement and waiver, as more fully described above under “Significant Events – Amendment Agreement and Waiver” and in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our credit agreement, as amended by the amendment agreement and waiver.

Interest Rate Swap

The principal terms of our interest rate swap are described in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Program

Under the Repurchase Program, we repurchased 65,107 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $1.08 for an aggregate purchase price of $70 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. All shares repurchased were subsequently retired.

The Repurchase Program calls for up to $3,000 of share repurchases to be made at management’s discretion in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time through March 5, 2014 in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, subject to cash requirements for other purposes, and other relevant factors, such as trading price, trading volume, general market and business conditions, our performance, and our compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement.

At June 30, 2012, the Repurchase Program had $2,930 in remaining capacity.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk Disclosure

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements constituting an “off-balance sheet arrangement” as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Contractual Obligations

Our consolidated contractual obligations and other commercial commitments at June 30, 2012 are as follows:


	Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years
Long-term debt obligations	$	5,993	$	4,794	$	1,199	$	—	$	—
Interest obligations on long-term debt(1)		328		328		—		—		—
Operating lease obligations		18,012		4,924		9,565		2,501		1,022
Other long-term liabilities(2)		107		—		107		—		—

Total	$	24,440	$	10,046	$	10,871	$	2,501	$	1,022

(1)

Interest obligations shown above were derived using an interest rate of 7.82%. This rate is a combination of the 4.32% that is fixed by our interest rate swap, and the 3.50% additional spread based on a pricing grid tied to our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. These rates are more fully described in Note 11, “Borrowings”, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)

Amounts in the “1-3 Years” category represent liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions, determined in accordance with the FASB guidance for uncertain tax positions, as more fully described in Note 15, “Income Taxes”, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

See Note 3, “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted”, to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2012, for the fiscal year then ended, as well as the expected impact on our consolidated financial statements for future periods.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have two kinds of market risk exposures, interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure. We have no market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes.

In light of recent economic conditions, we reviewed the cash equivalents held by us. We do not believe that our holdings have a material liquidity risk under current market conditions.

Foreign Currency Exposure

As a result of operating in foreign markets, our financial results could be affected by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have international operations in North America and Europe. Therefore, we are subject to foreign currency rate exposure. Non-U.S. transactions are denominated in the functional currencies of the respective countries in which our foreign subsidiaries reside. Our consolidated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at the applicable exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Consolidated income and expense items are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for each period presented. Accumulated net translation adjustments are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity. We measure our risk related to foreign currency rate exposure on two levels, the first being the impact of operating results on the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in the functional currencies of their home countries, and the second being the extent to which we have instruments denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign exchange translation gains and losses are included in our results of operations since we consolidate the results of our international operations, which are denominated in each country’s functional currency, with our U.S. results. The impact of translation gains or losses on net income from consolidating foreign subsidiaries was not material for the periods presented. We have historically had low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates upon consolidating the results of our foreign subsidiaries with our U.S. results due to the size of our foreign operations in comparison to our consolidated operations. However, if the operating profits of our international operations increase as a percentage of our consolidated operations, our exposure to the appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. Dollar could have a more significant impact on our net income (loss) and cash flows. Thus, we evaluate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuation risk on an ongoing basis.

Since our foreign operations are conducted using foreign currencies, we bear additional risk of fluctuations in exchange rates because of instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have historically had low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates with regard to instruments denominated in foreign currencies, given the amount and short-term nature of the maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the maturity of these instruments.

We performed a sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2012. Holding all other variables constant, we have determined that the impact of a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar would have an insignificant effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.	Description of Business

Harris Interactive Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global market research firm that uses online, telephone and other research methodologies to provide clients with information about the views, behaviors and attitudes of people worldwide.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. There are no unconsolidated entities or off-balance sheet arrangements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at date of purchase.

Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for debt and equity securities. Investments for all periods presented have been classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, as well as interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities, are included in interest and other income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The collectibility of outstanding client invoices is continually assessed. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments. In estimating the allowance, the Company considers factors such as historical collections, a client’s current creditworthiness, age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate, and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and is monitored by

HARRIS INTERACTIVE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

management to ensure that it is consistent with management’s expectations. Credit risk is limited with respect to accounts receivable by the Company’s large client base. For fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, no single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend useful life, are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:


Computer equipment			3 years
Non-computer equipment			5 years
Furniture and fixtures			7 years

In accordance with the FASB guidance for leases, leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the assets or the term of the underlying lease arrangements.

Business Combinations

Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to the FASB guidance for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible assets and liabilities and intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value is recorded as goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are valued separately and amortized over their expected useful life.

Goodwill

The FASB guidance on goodwill requires the Company to test its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and to write down goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets when impaired. These assessments require the Company to estimate the fair market value of its single reporting unit. If the Company determines that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, absent other facts to the contrary, an impairment charge must be recognized for the associated goodwill of the reporting unit against earnings in its consolidated financial statements. As the Company has one reportable segment, it utilizes the entity-wide approach for assessing goodwill.

Since 2002, the Company has evaluated goodwill for impairment using the two-step process as prescribed in the FASB guidance. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step must be followed to calculate impairment. Otherwise, if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, the goodwill is not considered to be impaired as of the measurement date. To determine fair value for its reporting unit, the Company uses the fair value of the cash flows that its

HARRIS INTERACTIVE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

reporting unit can be expected to generate in the future. This valuation method requires management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multiyear period, as well as determine the weighted average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over estimated useful lives that range as follows:


Contract-based intangibles			2 to 4 years
Internet respondent database			2 to 9 years
Customer relationships			3 to 10 years
Trade names			0.5 to 20 years

The Company has no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use

The Company follows the provisions of the FASB guidance for internally developed software, which addresses the accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use and identifies the characteristics of internal use software. Costs that satisfy the capitalization criteria prescribed in the FASB guidance are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and amounted to $986 and $1,596 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense related to these costs amounted to $948, $1,411 and $1,430 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the FASB guidance for property, plant, and equipment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, based on undiscounted cash flows to be generated from each asset group compared to the original estimates used in measuring the assets.

Events that trigger a test for recoverability include material adverse changes in the projected revenues and expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. A test for recoverability also is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

performed when the Company has committed to a plan to sell or otherwise dispose of an asset group and the plan is expected to be completed within a year. Recoverability of an asset group is evaluated by comparing its carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the comparison indicates that the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously-recognized long-lived asset impairment loss is not allowed.

The Company estimates the fair value of an asset group based on market prices (i.e., the amount for which the asset could be bought by or sold to a third party), when available. When market prices are not available, the Company estimates the fair value of the asset group using the income approach and/or the market approach. The income approach uses cash flow projections. Inherent in the Company’s development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of its operating results, approved business plans, expected growth rates and cost of capital, among others. The Company also makes certain assumptions about future economic conditions, interest rates, and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods.

Business Projections — The Company makes assumptions about the level of demand for its services in the marketplace. These assumptions drive the Company’s planning assumptions for revenue growth. The Company also makes assumptions about its cost levels. These assumptions are key inputs for developing the Company’s cash flow projections. These projections are derived using the Company’s internal business plans.

Growth Rate — The growth rate is the expected rate at which an asset group’s earnings stream is projected to grow beyond the planning period.

Economic Projections — Assumptions regarding general economic conditions are included in and affect the Company’s assumptions regarding revenue from services. These macroeconomic assumptions include inflation, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. On this same date, the Company adopted additional FASB guidance for fair value measurements which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities existing at July 1, 2008 which had not previously been carried at fair value. Any future transacted financial assets or liabilities will be evaluated for the fair value election as prescribed by this guidance.

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and available for sale marketable securities is derived from quoted market prices for similar instruments, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was

HARRIS INTERACTIVE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

based on quotes from the respective counterparty, which are corroborated by the Company using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves obtained from independent pricing services. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value. The Company had $5,993 of outstanding debt at June 30, 2012 under its credit facilities, which is considered a financial instrument. The carrying amount of this debt approximates its fair value as the rate of interest on the Company’s term loans that are outstanding under its credit facilities reflect current market rates of interest for similar instruments with comparable maturities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage the economic effect of the variable interest obligation on the outstanding debt under its credit agreement so that the interest payable on the outstanding debt effectively becomes fixed at a certain rate, thereby reducing the impact of future interest rate changes on the Company’s future interest expense.

The Company accounts for its interest rate swap in accordance with the FASB guidance for derivatives and hedging. The Company records the interest rate swap’s fair value in other assets or liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. The effective portion of the change in the interest rate swap’s fair value is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is recorded as interest expense when the hedged debt affects interest expense. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value is recognized in interest expense in the period of the change.

The interest rate swap was not an effective cash flow hedge at June 30, 2011 as a result of the covenant violations as discussed below in Note 11, “Borrowings”, and the Company opted not to re-designate its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge at September 30, 2011. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded through interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and such treatment will continue for the foreseeable future.

Post-Employment Payments

The Company has entered into employment and letter agreements with certain of its executives and other employees that obligate the Company to make post-employment payments for varying periods of time and under terms and circumstances set forth in these agreements. In part, the payments are in consideration for obligations of the individuals not to engage in certain competitive activities after termination of their employment, and in part, the payments relate to other relationships between the parties. The Company accounts for its obligations under these agreements in accordance with the FASB guidance for non-retirement post-employment benefits.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from services on a proportional performance basis. In assessing contract performance, both input and output criteria are reviewed. Costs incurred are used as an objective input measure of performance. The primary input of all work performed under these arrangements is labor. As a result of the relationship between labor and cost, there is normally a direct relationship between the costs incurred and the proportion of the contract performed to date. Costs incurred as an initial proportion of expected total costs is used as an initial proportional performance measure. This indicative proportional performance measure is always subsequently validated against

HARRIS INTERACTIVE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

more subjective criteria (i.e. relevant output measures) such as the percentage of interviews completed, percentage of reports delivered to a client and the achievement of any project milestones stipulated in the contract. In the event of divergence between the objective and more subjective measures, the more subjective measures take precedence since these are output measures.

Clients are obligated to pay based upon services performed, and in the event that a client cancels the contract, the client generally is responsible for payment for services performed through the date of cancellation. Losses expected to be incurred, if any, on jobs in progress are charged to income as soon as it becomes probable that such losses will occur. Invoices to clients in the ordinary course are generated based upon the achievement of specific events, as defined by each contract, including deliverables, timetables, and incurrence of certain costs. Such events may not be directly related to the performance of services. Revenues earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings are classified as unbilled receivables. Amounts billed in excess of revenues earned are classified as deferred revenue.

In accordance with the FASB guidance for revenue recognition, revenue includes amounts billed to clients for subcontractor costs incurred in the completion of surveys and reflects reductions offered to clients in the form of rebates and reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses related to service contracts.

Cost of Services

The Company’s direct costs of providing services principally consist of project personnel, which relate to the labor costs directly associated with a project, panelist incentives, which represent cash and non-cash incentives awarded to individuals who complete surveys, data processing, which represents both the internal and outsourced processing of survey data, and other direct costs related to survey production, including the amortization of software developed for internal use.

Panelist Incentives

The Company’s HIpoints loyalty program is designed to reward respondents who register for its panel, complete online surveys, and refer others to join its online panel. The earned points are non-transferable and may be redeemed for gifts from a specific product portfolio at any time prior to expiration. Points awarded under the HIpoints program expire after twelve months of account inactivity, if a panelist cancels his or her registration or opts out of the program, or if the e-mail address used by a panelist for the program is no longer valid. The Company maintains a reserve for obligations with respect to future redemption of outstanding points based on the expected redemption rate of the points. This expected redemption rate is based on the Company’s actual redemption rates since the inception of the program.

In addition, certain of the Company’s panelists receive cash incentives for participating in surveys from the Company, which are earned by the panelist when the Company receives a timely survey response. The Company accrues these incentives in the period in which they are earned.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Such expenses amounted to $592, $732 and $871 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

The FASB guidance for stock-based compensation requires that all share-based payments to employees after July 1, 2005, including employee stock options and shares issued to employees under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plans, be recognized in the financial statements as stock-based compensation expense based on their fair value on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model. The guidance also requires that the Company estimate forfeitures when recognizing stock-based compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

A deferred tax asset is recorded on the stock-based compensation expense required to be accrued under the FASB guidance. A current income tax deduction arises at the time of vesting (restricted stock) or exercise (stock options). In the event the current income tax deduction is greater or less than the associated deferred tax asset, the difference is required to be charged first to the windfall tax benefit pool. In the event that there is not an adequate pool of windfall tax benefits, the shortfall is charged to expense. The Company elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall benefits as permitted by the FASB guidance.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense under the effective interest method over the expected term of the related debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to extinguished debt are expensed at the time the debt is extinguished and recorded as a component of the gain or loss recognized upon extinguishment. Unamortized debt issuance costs are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes in accordance with the FASB guidance for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Through December 31, 2010, the Company did not provide U.S. deferred income taxes applicable to the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, as these amounts were considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company began to provide U.S. deferred income taxes applicable to the unremitted earnings of certain of its foreign subsidiaries, as more fully described below in Note 16, “Income Taxes”.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $338 in French research and development credits and presented those credits within the provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statement of operations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $124 in such credits and presented them in the selling, general and administrative line of its consolidated statement of operations based on the determined refundable nature of these credits. The prior year amount has been corrected to conform to current year presentation. Based on the Company’s assessment, this adjustment did not have a material impact on its fiscal 2011 results of operations. There were no such amounts recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the FASB guidance for uncertain tax positions, which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and which is now incorporated into the FASB guidance for income taxes. Applying the two-step approach, the Company first determines if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is that the Company measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of operations.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with the FASB guidance on earnings per share, basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of employee stock options that have an exercise price that is below the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. The treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted shares outstanding whereby assumed proceeds from the exercise of stock options, net of average unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock, and the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common stock at the average market price during the period. When the impact of stock options or other stock-based compensation is anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation.

Foreign Currency Translation

For the Company’s subsidiaries located outside of the United States, the local currency is the functional currency. In accordance with FASB guidance on foreign currency matters, the financial statements of those subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars as follows. Consolidated assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Consolidated income, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates for each period and stockholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the FASB guidance on comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of changes in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap, any unrealized holding gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities, and the foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports segment information in accordance with the FASB guidance on segment reporting. The Company operates a globally consistent business model, offering custom market research to its customers in the geographic regions in which it operates. Geographic management facilitates local execution of the Company’s global strategies. However, the Company maintains global leaders for the majority of its critical business processes, and the most significant performance evaluations and resource allocations made on a global basis by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it has one reportable segment.

Future Liquidity Considerations

At June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,456, compared with $14,084 at June 30, 2011. Available sources of cash to support known or reasonably likely cash requirements over the next 12 months include cash and cash equivalents on hand, additional cash that may be generated from the Company’s operations, and funds to the extent available through its credit facilities discussed in Note 11, “Borrowings”. While the Company believes that its available sources of cash, including funds available through its revolving line that are subject to certain requirements, including minimum cash balances, will support known or reasonably likely cash requirements over the next 12 months, including quarterly principal payments of $1,199 and interest payments due under the Company’s credit agreement, the Company’s ability to generate cash from its operations is dependent upon its ability to profitably generate revenue, which requires that it continually develops new business, both for growth and to replace completed projects. Although work for no one client constitutes more than 10% of revenue, the Company has had to find significant amounts of replacement and additional revenue as client relationships and work for continuing clients change and will likely have to continue to do so in the future. The Company’s ability to profitably generate revenue depends not only on execution of its business plans, but also on general market factors outside of its control. As many of the Company’s clients treat all or a portion of their market research expenditures as discretionary, the Company’s ability to profitably generate revenue is adversely impacted whenever there are adverse macroeconomic conditions in the markets the Company serves.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The amended guidance clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this amended guidance on July 1, 2012 and adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to update the presentation of comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements. Under this new guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in its annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2012 and adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3.	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted — (Continued)

In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that now allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as the basis for determining whether it is then necessary to apply the two-step goodwill impairment test as proscribed by current guidelines. If the conclusion from the qualitative assessment is that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would be required to conduct the two-step goodwill impairment process. If this conclusion is not reached from the qualitative assessment, the entity would not need to apply the two-step test. This updated guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012 and adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other Charges

Other charges reflected in the “Restructuring and other charges” line shown on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 included the following:

Post-employment payments to former senior executives — In connection with their departures from the Company during fiscal 2011, negotiated settlements were reached with Kimberly Till, Pavan Bhalla and Enzo Micali. Under the separation agreements, as modified, cash payments to Ms. Till are due to be completed in December 2012, while all cash payments to Messrs. Bhalla and Micali were completed during fiscal 2012.

Other — For fiscal 2011, “Other” included costs associated with reorganizing the operational structure of the Company’s Canadian operations. In October 2011, the Company’s obligation to fund those costs lapsed and accordingly, a credit of $331 was recognized at that time. For fiscal 2010, “Other” included costs incurred to close the Company’s telephone-based data collection center in Brentford, United Kingdom.

5.	Discontinued Operations

In July 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the closure of its operations in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai (collectively, “Harris Asia”). This decision was based on the Board’s determination that Harris Asia’s operations did not adequately support the Company’s strategic objectives. While the operations of Harris Asia ceased as of September 30, 2011, significant future cash flows attributable to those operations as a result of collecting outstanding accounts receivable and settling accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 had not yet been eliminated. As such, the Company determined that Harris Asia’s operations did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

In connection with the Company’s closure of Harris Asia, the following charges were initially recognized in the “Restructuring and other charges” line shown on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011:


Writeoff of intangible assets	$	489

6.	Fair Value Measurements

The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value for financial assets and liabilities maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, default provisions, and affirmative and negative covenants, including among others prohibitions of dividends, sales of certain assets and mergers, and restrictions related to acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, investments, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Among others, the Company may freely transfer assets and incur obligations among its domestic subsidiaries, but limitations apply to transfers of assets and loans to foreign subsidiaries.

Amendment Agreement and Waiver

At June 30, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with the Consolidated Total Leverage and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio covenants contained in the Credit Agreement largely due to the magnitude of restructuring and other charges incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. As a result, on September 27, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment Agreement No. 2 and Waiver (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, these covenant violations were permanently waived. Amendment No. 2 includes both the addition and modification of certain definitions, terms, and financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to be secured by the Company’s domestic assets and 66% of the equity interests in first tier foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with ASC Topic 470, the Company evaluated the change in cash flows, determined that there was not a greater than 10% change, and concluded that Amendment No. 2 did not result in an extinguishment of debt.

The Company’s credit facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement consist of its term loan, which matures September 30, 2013, and a revolving line of credit. A maximum amount of $5,000 remains available under the revolving line of credit, subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, until the Company achieved trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA of $5,000, borrowings under the revolving line of credit are limited to the lesser of $2,000 or the Company’s net U.S. accounts receivable, defined as its U.S. accounts receivable plus its U.S. unbilled accounts receivable, less its deferred revenue. The principal amount outstanding under the term loan, $10,787 at June 30, 2011, and the payment terms of the term loan remained unchanged under the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, the manner in which outstanding amounts accrue interest remains unchanged, except that the Eurodollar Applicable Rate (Adjusted LIBO Applicable Rate) and ABR Applicable Rate were fixed at 5.50% and 4.50%, respectively, through March 31, 2012.

Amendment No. 2 also impacted certain financial covenants, as follows:

The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenants were suspended for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011 and

HARRIS INTERACTIVE INC.

Borrowings — (Continued)

March 31, 2012. During each of those fiscal quarters, the Company was subject to trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA covenants of $4,548, $3,817 and $4,424, respectively.

For fiscal quarters commencing on or after April 1, 2012, the Company is subject to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Cash paid to fund restructuring and other charges incurred on or before September 30, 2011 was limited to amounts agreed upon in Amendment No. 2.

The Company was required to maintain minimum global cash of $7,000 and U.S. cash of $1,000 through June 30, 2012, and is now again subject to only a minimum global cash requirement of $5,000.

At June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2012, the required principal repayments of the term loan under the Amended Credit Agreement for the two succeeding fiscal years are as follows:


	Total
2013	$	4,794
2014		1,199

	$	5,993

At June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit and $345 and $359, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit reduce the remaining undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit that is available for future borrowings.

Interest Rate Swap

Effective September 21, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with JPMC, which effectively fixed the floating LIBOR interest portion of the rates on the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement at 5.08% through September 21, 2012. The three-month LIBOR rate received on the swap matched the LIBOR base rate paid on the term loans since both used three-month LIBOR. The swap had an initial notional value of $34,625, which declined as payments were made on the term loans so that the amount outstanding under those term loans and the notional amount of the swap were always equal.

As a result of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company modified the terms of its interest rate swap to ensure that the notional amount of the swap matched the outstanding amount of the term loan and the three-month LIBOR rate received on the swap matched the LIBOR base rate on the term loan. The term of the interest rate swap was extended through September 30, 2013 to be consistent with the maturity date of the term loan and the applicable spread referenced in the pricing grid set forth above is added to the 4.32% rate fixed by the interest rate swap. As a result of these modifications, the Company re-designated its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and determined it to be highly effective at that time.

The interest rate swap was effective at June 30, 2010 and through the nine months ended March 31, 2011. During those periods, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded through other comprehensive income, and there was no ineffectiveness that was recorded through interest expense. The interest rate swap was not an effective cash flow hedge at June 30, 2011 as a result of the covenant violations discussed above, and recorded a charge to interest expense of $68, the amount of the change in the swap’s fair value during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. At September 30, 2011, the Company opted not to re-designate its interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. As such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap, $339, was recorded through interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, and such treatment will continue for the foreseeable future.

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had liabilities of $174 and $513, respectively, in the “Other liabilities” line item of its consolidated balance sheet to reflect the fair value of the interest rate swap.

Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

100,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”), par value $.001 per share, are authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended in fiscal 2000.

Restricted Stock Award Withholdings

The Company issues restricted stock awards as part of the Incentive Plans, as defined in Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation”. For certain of the restricted stock awards granted, the number of shares released on the date the restricted stock awards vest is net of the statutory withholding requirements that the Company pays to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of its employees. The shares repurchased to satisfy the statutory withholding requirements are immediately retired.

Share Repurchase Program

Under the share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorized by the Board on March 6, 2012, the Company repurchased 65,107 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $1.08 for an aggregate purchase price of $70 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. All shares repurchased were subsequently retired.

The Repurchase Program calls for up to $3,000 of share repurchases to be made at management’s discretion in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time through March 5, 2014 in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, subject to cash requirements for other purposes, and other relevant factors, such as trading price, trading volume, general market and business conditions, Company performance, and the Company’s compliance with the covenants under its credit agreement.

At June 30, 2012, the Repurchase Program had $2,930 in remaining capacity.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On March 11, 2005, the Board adopted a stockholder rights plan, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated March 11, 2005 (the “Rights Agreement”). Under the Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding

In addition, one Right automatically attaches to each share of Common Stock issued between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (defined below). Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), at a cash exercise price of $27.48 per Unit, subject to adjustment under certain conditions specified in the Rights Agreement. The Rights will separate from Common Stock and will become exercisable only when a public announcement has been made that a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (an “Acquiring Person”), other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company or certain inadvertent actions by a stockholder, or ten days after a person commences, or publicly announces the intention to commence (which intention to commence remains in effect for five business days after such announcement), a tender offer or exchange offer that could result in the person or group becoming an Acquiring Person and that is not terminated within such ten-day period (the earlier of such dates being referred to as the “Distribution Date”). If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person and certain of its related parties, whose Rights become null and void) will be entitled to receive upon exercise of each Right that number of Units equal to $27.48 (as adjusted) multiplied by the number of Units for which the Right is then exercisable, divided by 50% of the then current per share market price of the Common Stock. If there are insufficient shares of Preferred Stock to permit full exercise of all of the Rights, holders of Rights may instead receive shares of Common Stock, other securities, cash or property, or a combination thereof. If, at any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction with an Acquiring Person or certain other types of transaction specified in the Rights Agreement, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person and certain of its related parties, whose Rights become null and void) will be entitled to receive upon exercise of each Right, in lieu of shares of Preferred Stock, that number of shares of Common Stock of the surviving entity equal to $27.48 (as adjusted) multiplied by the number of Units for which the Right is then exercisable, divided by 50% of the then current per share market price of the surviving entity’s common stock.

The Rights are not exercisable until a Distribution Date occurs and will expire on March 11, 2015, unless earlier terminated or redeemed by the Company in accordance with the Rights Agreement. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, no right to vote or receive dividends. The Rights Agreement is reviewed and evaluated at least once every three years by a “TIDES Committee” of independent directors. During fiscal 2010, the TIDES Committee reviewed the Rights Agreement and recommended no changes to it.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan in 1999, amended in November 2004 (“1999 Incentive Plan”), and a 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2007 Incentive Plan” and together with the 1999 Incentive Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). In addition, in 2001, as part of its acquisition of Total Research Corporation, the Company also assumed certain options previously issued by that company under its incentive plans (“Total Plans”). The Company also adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 1999, amended in November 2004 (“1999 ESPP”), and a 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, amended in November 2009 and 2011 (“2007 ESPP” and together with the 1999 ESPP, the “ESPPs”). In January 2008, the Company adopted the Harris Interactive U.K. Limited Share Incentive Plan (“SIP”). The Company also has issued stock options to certain new employees outside the Incentive Plans.

Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)

The Company did not capitalize stock-based compensation expense as part of the cost of an asset for any periods presented. The following table illustrates the stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the cost of stock options and restricted stock issued under the Incentive Plans, stock options issued to new employees outside the Incentive Plans, and shares issued under the ESPPs for the fiscal years ended June 30:


	2012		2011		2010
Cost of services	$	31	$	12	$	18
Selling, general and administrative		1,796		670		662

	$	1,827	$	682	$	680

Any potential tax benefits associated with incentive stock options are recognized if and when the Company receives a tax deduction associated with the options. Accordingly, due to the timing of the recognition of the tax benefit versus the related stock-based compensation expense, the Company’s effective tax rate was increased for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The Company determines the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities from daily share price observations for the Company’s stock covering a period commensurate with the expected term of the options granted. The Company continues to use the “simplified” method as permitted by ASC 718-10 for purposes of determining the expected life of options when granted, but has corroborated the expected option life derived using this method to the expected option lives used by other companies within the market research industry to ensure reasonableness. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available at the time the options were granted on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options when granted. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical practice of electing not to pay dividends to its stockholders.

Long Term Incentive Plans

The Company maintains the Incentive Plans, under which it may grant nonqualified and incentive stock options, as well as restricted stock awards to employees and directors of the Company. The Company grants options to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value as of the date of grant. Time-based options generally vest over a period of up to four years for employees, and expire after ten years from the date of grant or earlier, if in connection with termination of employment or service as a director. Certain options vest upon the achievement of performance targets. Vesting of options is accelerated in certain circumstances upon a change in control. Restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of up to four years for employees and one year for directors, and, generally, any unvested portion is forfeited upon termination of employment or service as a director. Certain restricted stock awards vest upon achievement of performance targets.

The Company has registered a total of 10,250,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Incentive Plans. At June 30, 2012, 1,738,717 shares were unissued and available for grant under the Incentive Plans.

Options outstanding at June 30		5,218,927		$	1.54		6,396,373		$	1.53		3,873,452		$	2.38

During fiscal 2012 and 2011, 160,000 and 3,381,000, respectively, of the options granted represent awards that vest in ten equal tranches upon the achievement of certain performance targets. In February and March 2012, the Company modified such performance based targets. 966,000 of such performance-based options vested during fiscal 2012 due to the achievement of certain of the modified performance targets. As a result of such modifications, the Company recorded an additional $202 of stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $29, $34 and $0, respectively.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted by the Company during the fiscal years ended June 30:

During fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted 300,500, 127,482 and 119,000 restricted shares, respectively, to non-employee directors.

At June 30, 2012, there was $2,426 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Plans and the ESPPs. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The ESPPs provide employees with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through payroll deductions through semi-annual offerings in July and January of each fiscal year. Under the ESPPs, the Company’s employees may purchase, subject to certain restrictions, shares of Common Stock at the lesser of 85% of the fair value at either the beginning or the end of each six month offering period. During fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, employees purchased 227,000, 206,270 and 293,179 shares of Common Stock, respectively, through the ESPPs. Of the 3,000,000 shares available for issuance under the ESPPs, 608,018 shares remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)

The ESPPs are considered compensatory under the FASB guidance and thus, a portion of the cost related to the July and January offerings under the ESPPs are included in the Company’s stock-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The fair value of the July and January offerings under the ESPPs were determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility from daily share price observations for the Company’s stock covering a period commensurate with the expected life of the rights under the ESPPs. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available at the time the rights under the ESPPs were granted on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the rights under the ESPPs when granted. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical practice of electing not to pay dividends to its stockholders.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value rights under the ESPPs for the July and January offerings for the fiscal years ended June 30:


	2012			2011			2010
Risk-free interest rate		0.4	%		0.2	%		0.3	%
Weighted-average expected life (in years)		0.5			0.5			0.5
Volatility factor		105	%		63	%		108	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—
Weighted-average fair value	$	0.27		$	0.33		$	0.25

U.K. employees may purchase the Company’s common stock pursuant to the SIP through a payroll deduction with no discount to the market price. Employees are entitled to receive three matching shares for every seventeen shares purchased under the SIP. The SIP has been deemed non-compensatory and, therefore, no stock-based compensation costs were recognized for fiscal 2012, 2011 or 2010.

14.

401(k) Plan

The Company established a 401(k) Plan effective January 1, 1995. Eligible employees may begin to participate in the 401(k) Plan the first of the month following their date of hire, but are not eligible to receive employer matching contributions, if any, until the first day of the calendar quarter following the one anniversary year of service during which they have worked at least 1,000 hours.

Participants may contribute from 1% to 60% of compensation up to federally established limitations. Employer matching contributions are discretionary, and were made in the form of Company stock through March 31, 2008. The Company suspended its matching contributions on January 1, 2009 and had not resumed them as of June 30, 2012. As such, the Company incurred no matching contribution expense during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had U.S. federal and various state net operating loss carryforwards of $39,891 that will begin to expire in 2021.

Under existing federal tax laws, Internal Revenue Code Section 382 provides for an annual limitation on the utilization of federal operating loss and tax credit carryforwards generated prior to certain ownership changes. The Company’s acquisition of Total Research Corporation in November 2001 resulted in an ownership change for federal income tax purposes and accordingly, this could limit the Company’s ability to use its federal operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in future years. As of June 30, 2012, of the Company’s total federal operating loss carryover, approximately $18,012 is subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries would no longer be considered permanently reinvested. After assessing the assets of the subsidiaries relative to the specific opportunities for reinvestment, as well as the forecasted uses of cash for both its domestic and foreign operations, the Company concluded that it was prudent to change its indefinite reinvestment assertion to allow for greater flexibility in its cash management. At that time, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $2,732 and at June 30, 2011, that deferred tax liability was adjusted to $2,409. However, this change in assertion had no net impact on tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, as the deferred tax liability was fully offset by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s U.S. valuation allowance. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s assertion regarding the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries remains unchanged.

It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes may be the result of ongoing audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, $86 and $75, respectively, were included in the liability for uncertain tax positions for the possible payment of interest and penalties.

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and various state, local and foreign income tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. This examination did not result in a material adjustment. With few exceptions, the remaining state, local and foreign income tax returns are no longer subject to examination for fiscal years prior to June 30, 2007.

The Company is comprised of operations in North America and Europe. Non-U.S. market research is comprised of operations in the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Germany. The Company’s operations in Asia ceased as of September 30, 2011 and are classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods presented herein. There were no intercompany transactions that materially affected the Company’s financial statements, and all intercompany sales have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s business model for offering market research is consistent across the geographic regions in which it operates. Geographic management facilitates local execution of the Company’s global strategies. The Company maintains global leaders with responsibility across all geographic regions for the majority of its critical business processes, and the most significant performance evaluations and resource allocations made by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker are made on a global basis. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it has one reportable segment.

The Company has prepared the financial results for geographic information on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which management internally disaggregates information to assist in making internal operating decisions. The Company has allocated common expenses among these geographic regions differently than it would for stand-alone information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Geographic operating income (loss) may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Related-Party Transactions

Angrisani Turnarounds, LLC

On June 7, 2011, the Company entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Angrisani Turnarounds, LLC (“ATL”) and Al Angrisani, pursuant to which Mr. Angrisani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ATL, agreed to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately, and continuing through and including June 30, 2012 (the “Service Period”), subject to certain early termination rights set forth therein. The material terms of the Services Agreement included:

Related-Party Transactions — (Continued)

Mr. Angrisani’s agreement to be bound by certain non-competition obligations for the duration of each monthly period associated with a Monthly Retainer payment.

The Company’s option, in its sole discretion, to continue to pay the Monthly Retainer for a minimum of six months following the end of the Service Period, binding Mr. Angrisani to the non-competition obligations during such period.

ATL’s agreement to preserve the confidentiality of non-public confidential and proprietary information received in the course of the Service Period.

Limitation of the Company’s and ATL’s liability.

Arbitration of disputes.

In addition, the Company separately engaged ATL beginning in March 2011 to provide a thorough review of the Company’s operations and business model and a report of observations and recommendations.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of each fiscal quarter and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Company’s management conducts an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. It is the conclusion of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, based upon an evaluation completed as of June 30, 2012, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2012.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B.

Other Information

Modification to Compensation Arrangement for Executive Officer — Todd Myers

On September 20, 2012, the Company and Todd Myers, Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Business Groups, entered into Employment Agreement Amendment 1 (the “Amendment”) to Mr. Myers’ Employment Agreement, dated March 27, 2012. The material terms of the Amendment include:

Mr. Myers’ base salary was increased from $250,000 to $275,000 per year.

Mr. Myers’ annual performance bonus target for fiscal years beginning with fiscal 2013 was increased from 50% to 60% of his base salary.

Mr. Myers’ retention bonuses were modified such that he is eligible to receive a retention bonus of $75,000 payable at the end of fiscal 2013, a retention bonus of $25,000 payable at the end of calendar year 2013, and a retention bonus of $75,000 payable at the end of fiscal 2014 if he is employed by the Company at such times.

An award of 50,000 shares of restricted stock if the U.S. business of the Company achieves 100% of its fiscal 2013 management revenue and sales budget (the “Fiscal 2013 Milestone”), under the condition that Mr. Myers is employed by the Company on June 30, 2013. If the award is made, the shares will vest on June 30, 2014, under the condition that Mr. Myers is employed by the Company on such date; provided, however, if Mr. Myers’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause or Mr. Myers terminates his employment for good reason on or prior to June 30, 2014, then all unvested shares will immediately vest on the date of termination. All shares also will immediately vest upon the occurrence of a change in control, provided that the change of control occurs prior to Mr. Myers’ date of termination. If a change in control occurs prior to June 30, 2013, then, if the Company achieves the Fiscal 2013 Milestone and Mr. Myers is employed by the Company on June 30, 2013, rather than receiving the share award, Mr. Myers will be entitled to receive a cash award, calculated by multiplying 50,000 by the price per share paid by the acquirer of the Company in the change in control transaction.

Mr. Myers is subject to a twelve month non-compete following the termination of his employment with the Company.

A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 10.4.28 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.

Fiscal 2012 Bonus Payouts

On September 19, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the following fiscal 2012 cash bonuses for the Company’s executive officers:


Name	Fiscal 2012 Bonus Payout
Al Angrisani (President and Chief Executive Officer)	$	291,667	(1)

Eric W. Narowski (Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Global Controller)	$	100,000

Marc H. Levin (Chief Operating Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary)	$	138,000

Michael de Vere (President and Chief Executive Officer, U.S. Business Groups)	$	115,000

Todd Myers (Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Business Groups)	$	115,000

(1)	$166,667 of such amount was paid to Mr. Angrisani in March 2012.

Fiscal 2013 Bonus Plan

On September 19, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the Company’s fiscal 2013 bonus plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan has been designed to establish a pool of funds (the “Bonus Pool”) to be available for making bonus payments to the executive officers and certain other employees of the Company. The funding level of the Bonus Pool is based on the Company’s performance relative to budgeted fiscal 2013 adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted to remove the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other charges), as approved by the Board in connection with establishing the Company’s fiscal 2013 annual budget (the “Financial Target”). Under the Bonus Plan, 100% of the Bonus Pool will be funded if performance is equal to 114% of the Financial Target. No bonus will be payable under the Bonus Plan if performance is less than 83% of the Financial Target. Between 83% and 128% performance, a sliding scale applies. The Board, in its discretion, has the option of increasing the size of the Bonus Pool if the Company achieves greater than 128% of the Financial Target.

In accordance with their employment agreements, Messrs. Narowski, Levin, de Vere and Myers have target bonuses of 50%, 60%, 60% and 60% of their annual base salaries, respectively, under the Bonus Plan. Bonus payouts under the Bonus Plan for Messrs. Narowski, Levin, de Vere and Myers will be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee in consultation with the President and Chief Executive based on the Company’s performance relative to the Financial Target and/or other financial metrics related to each executive officer’s area of responsibility, as well as each executive officer’s individual performance.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2012, Mr. Angrisani is eligible for an annual performance bonus for fiscal 2013 of up to $600,000, to be earned and payable as follows: (i) $100,000 each quarter, beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, upon the Company’s payment of its scheduled quarterly principal and interest bank payment, using internally generated cash and without accessing the Company’s revolving line of credit, and (ii) $200,000 upon achievement of the Financial Target (subject to a cutback for attainment above an agreed upon threshold).

Changes to Compensation Arrangements for Non-Employee Directors, Effective as of July 1, 2012

Non-Employee Director Cash Compensation

On September 19, 2012, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, returning the non-employee director annual cash retainer to $41,500, the amount paid to non-employee directors prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, with retroactive effect to July 1, 2012. The portion of the $35,000 annual cash retainer in effect for the annual period commencing after the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company that non-employee directors received previously will be deducted from the cash compensation they are to receive based on such compensatory adjustment. Further, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved modifying the supplemental annual cash compensation for the Chairman of the Board. Specifically, the Chairman will receive supplemental annual cash compensation in the amount of $41,500, with retroactive effect to July 1, 2012, in recognition of the significant time the Chairman spends addressing Board matters and advising management on key strategic initiatives. The supplemental annual cash compensation for the Lead Director, Chairman of the Audit Committee, and Chairman of the Compensation Committee did not change.

Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation

On September 19, 2012, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, returning the non-employee director annual equity compensation to its level prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, with retroactive effect to July 1, 2012. Specifically, non-employee directors will receive an annual grant of restricted stock intended to equal as closely as practical the annual cash retainer of $41,500 paid to non-employee directors. The portion of the equity grant of 25,000 shares of restricted stock made on November 15, 2011 that vest in fiscal 2013 will be deducted from such grant. Further, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved modifying the supplemental annual equity compensation for the Chairman of the Board. Specifically, the Chairman will receive such number of shares of restricted stock that equal as closely as practical the annual supplemental cash retainer of $41,500 paid to the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board received a restricted stock grant of 120,000 shares in fiscal 2012, in lieu of the equity grants that he would have otherwise received for his service as a director and Chairman of the Board during the fiscal year. Vesting terms for the grants approved in September 2012 remain unchanged from the non-employee director equity compensation granted on November 2011, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form DEF14A on September 30, 2011.
