PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Ebix, Inc. (the “Company”) is currently in the process of working with its independent auditors to complete its audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.  The Company anticipates that it will be able to complete the audit in time to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 prior to the reporting deadline provided by this extension.

The additional time required by the Company to fully integrate a fourth quarter acquisition and to complete the audit has delayed the completion of the preparation of its Form 10-K and caused it to be unable to file its report within the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expense.

(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
