NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except per share data)


1. Nature of Operations and Financial Statement Presentation
Nature of Operations
Agilysys is a leading technology company that provides innovative software for point-of-sale (POS), property management (PMS), inventory and procurement, workforce management, analytics, document management and mobile and wireless solutions and services to the hospitality industry. Our solutions and services allow property managers to better connect, interact and transact with their customers and enhance their customer relationships by streamlining operations, improving efficiency, increasing guest recruitment and wallet share, and enhancing the overall guest experience. We serve four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services.

We operate throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts consolidated with our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, fiscal 2017 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

Our unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 10, 2016.

Correction of Errors

In connection with the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we identified errors in the manner in which we recognized revenue on contract support.  Contract support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer arrangement.  In certain instances where contract support is an element of a multiple-element arrangement, we use a hierarchy to determine the fair value allocation for recognition of revenue on each deliverable.  An error related to an input used in this allocation resulted in the overstatement of contract, maintenance, and support revenue of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The error was identified and

7



corrected during the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we identified errors in the manner in which we capitalize internal labor on software development projects.   An error in the method by which internal resources account for administrative time resulted in the over capitalization of costs during the last six months of fiscal 2015 and the first three months of fiscal 2016.  The error for each of the three months ended December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015, was $0.1 million. We corrected these errors during the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC 250-10 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality), we assessed the materiality of the errors and concluded that the errors were not material to any of our previously issued financial statements. Correction of the errors is also not material to the three months ended June 30, 2015 or fiscal 2016 results.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principals versus agent considerations in FASB ASC 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09 described below. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The amendments in this update include a new FASB ASC Topic 842, which supersedes Topic 840. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2015, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Updates. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the codification and are generally categorized as follows: Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification; Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections; Simplification; and, Minor Improvements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As the objectives of this standard are to clarify the codification; correct unintended application of guidance; eliminate inconsistencies; and, to improve the codification’s presentation of guidance, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which converges the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standard on revenue recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB amended the effective date and early adoption is permitted only for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The FASB has also issued the following standards which provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606). We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the related ASU 2014-09 standards will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements.


3. Restructuring Charges
We recognize restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of our business or the manner in which that business is conducted is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable.

Fiscal 2016 Restructuring Activity

Q4 - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we continued our efforts to better align product development and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs. We recorded $0.3 million in restructuring charges related to the Q4 fiscal 2016 restructuring activity in fiscal 2016, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining liability of approximately $17,000 recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2016 restructuring activity. We expect to record additional restructuring expense related to the Q4 fiscal 2016 restructuring event during fiscal 2017 as those obligations become present and the definition of a liability included in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, is met. These additional charges are not expected to exceed $0.2 million.

Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the restructuring liability:

sold and was $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense of non-software intangibles is included in operating expenses along with acquired and internally developed internal use software. Internal use software is classified as property and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization expense of non-software intangible and internal use assets was $11,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Capitalized software development costs that are internally developed to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are carried on our balance sheet at net realizable value, net of accumulated amortization. We capitalized approximately $3.3 million and $4.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts was $17.3 million and $22.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The related allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

On January 12, 2015, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (Caesars) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 15, 2015, Caesars and certain of its affiliates filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11. Those cases have been consolidated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. At March 31, 2015, our accounts receivable owing by Caesars and its affiliates who have filed a bankruptcy petition totaled approximately $3.2 million, including both pre- and post-petition claims. As of May 26, 2015, we filed a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims. In January 2016, we filed an amended proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying approximately $0.2 million of pre-petition claim in addition to those filed on May 26, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims remain outstanding.

7.1
%

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, foreign and state taxes, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, a refunded settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit, foreign and state taxes, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

We have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of valuation allowance, however, could be reduced in the near term. The exact timing will be based on the level of profitability we achieve. We expect a full release of the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets in Hong Kong. We expect that the release of the valuation allowance will be recorded as an income tax benefit at the time of release increasing our reported net income. Our recorded tax rate may increase in subsequent periods following a valuation allowance release. Any valuation allowance release will not affect the amount of cash paid for income taxes.


7. Commitments and Contingencies

Agilysys is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products, software, components and/or systems sold by us infringe three patents owned by Ameranth purporting to cover generation and synchronization of menus, including restaurant menus, event tickets, and other products across fixed, wireless and/or internet platforms as well as synchronization of hospitality information and hospitality software applications across fixed, wireless and internet platforms. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit.  However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter.

8. (Loss) Earnings per Share

The following data shows the amounts used in computing (loss) earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares.

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes 340,101 and 454,444 of restricted shares at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as these shares were issued but were not vested and, therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic earnings per share at the balance sheet dates.

Diluted (loss) earnings per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) and unvested restricted shares that are potentially dilutive securities. When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net loss per share.

9. Share-based Compensation

We may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted share units for up to 3.0 million common shares under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan). The maximum number of shares subject to stock options or SSARs that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 800,000 shares, and the maximum number of shares subject to restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 400,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted under the 2011 Plan is 1.0 million.

We have a shareholder-approved 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) and a 2000 Stock Incentive Plan that still have vested awards outstanding. Awards are no longer being granted from these incentive plans.

We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and appreciation right exercises or restricted share and performance share awards.

We record compensation expense related to stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and SSARs awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing

10. Fair Value Measurements
We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. The hierarchy indicates the extent to which pricing inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable, or other observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates, and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include our own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables below.
 
There were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

The recorded value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies is adjusted to the cash surrender value of the policies obtained from the third party life insurance providers, which are not observable in the market, and therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies are recorded within “Other (income) expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted earn-out payments based on the assessment of the likelihood that certain milestones would be achieved.

On July 28, 2016, we announced general availability of our rGuest® Buy point of sale solution. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $10.4 million of related software development costs were capitalized as project expenditures not yet in use in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization of this internally developed technology will be included in Products cost of goods sold. The useful life of this asset is 5 years. We expect annual amortization resulting from the asset being placed into service of approximately $2.1 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”), management explains the general financial condition and results of operations for Agilysys and subsidiaries including:

—    what factors affect our business;
—    what our earnings and costs were;
—    why those earnings and costs were different from the year before;
—    where the earnings came from;
—    how our financial condition was affected; and
—    where the cash will come from to fund future operations.

The MD&A analyzes changes in specific line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and provides information that management believes is important to assessing and understanding our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q updates information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report as well as our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2016. Information provided in the MD&A may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” on page 26 of this Quarterly Report, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report, and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 for additional information concerning these items. Management believes that this information, discussion, and disclosure is important in making decisions about investing in Agilysys.

Net revenue.  Total net revenue increased $3.5 million, or 12.6%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Products revenue increased $0.7 million, or 8.0%, due to increased hardware replacement sales for existing iconic products, as well as increased new logo hardware sales associated with our proprietary software sold as a service. Hardware revenue growth was offset by a decline in proprietary software license revenue in line with the strategic shift in mix to subscription based services revenue. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue remained relatively flat at $14.9 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016 driven primarily by continued increases in subscription based service revenue, which increased approximately 31.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016, offset by a decline in our remarketed support revenue. Professional services revenue increased $2.7 million, or 71.5%, as a result of increased volume of customer installation and implementation projects associated with growth in overall product revenue.

Gross profit and gross profit margin.  Our total gross profit decreased $0.2 million, or 1.3%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and total gross profit margin decreased approximately 740 basis points to 52.3%. Products gross profit decreased $0.9 million and gross profit margin decreased approximately 1,270 basis points to 31.4% primarily as a result of an increase of $1.0 million of developed technology amortization as a result of the rGuest® Stay development costs being placed into service with the announcement of the property management system as being generally available during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit remained consistent and gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 74.2% as we continue to invest in our subscription platform. Professional services gross profit increased $1.0 million and gross profit margin improved approximately 330 basis points to 32.6% primarily as a result of more efficient use of labor during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, excluding the charges for restructuring, severance and other charges, increased $1.6 million, or 9.4%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Product development.  Product development includes all expenses associated with research and development. Product development increased $0.6 million, or 9.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016. This increase is primarily driven by our continued investment in resources related to both our rGuest® and iconic product enhancements to expand the customer experience across our install base as well as our future offerings with existing and new customers. In addition, certain research and development costs are capitalized as software development costs upon achieving specific milestones in the development life-cycle. We capitalized approximately $3.4 million and $4.7 million as software development costs for future use during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing increased $1.2 million, or 26.3%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The change is due primarily to an increase of approximately $0.7 million in commission expense in line with booking growth, specifically in subscription based bookings, whose total contract value increased 250% year over year. In addition, advertising and promotion expense increased $0.4 million primarily due to timing of tradeshows and other marketing initiatives, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

General and administrative.  General and administrative declined $0.3 million, or 5.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 due primarily of our continued efforts to improve efficiencies and streamline back office functions.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, foreign and state taxes, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, a refunded settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit, foreign and state taxes, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of zero to $0.1 million of tax and zero to $0.1 million of interest based on the outcome of tax examinations and as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are routinely audited; due to the ongoing nature of current examinations in multiple jurisdictions, other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time.

We have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of valuation allowance, however, could be reduced in the near term. The exact timing will be based on the level of profitability we achieve. We expect a full release of the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets in Hong Kong. We expect that the release of the valuation allowance will be recorded as an income tax benefit at the time of release increasing our reported net income. Our recorded tax rate may increase in subsequent periods following a valuation allowance release. Any valuation allowance release will not affect the amount of cash paid for income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding, which primarily consists of lease and rental obligations at June 30, 2016. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $55.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our total debt was approximately $0.3 million, comprised of capital lease obligations in both periods.

At June 30, 2016, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We maintain approximately 95% of our cash and cash equivalents in the United States. Therefore, we believe that credit risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents.

Cash flow used in operating activities.  Cash flows used in operating activities was $1.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2017. The use of cash was attributable to $0.8 million in net working capital movements associated mainly with $4.7 million in increased collections on accounts receivable and $1.2 million in increased inventory and prepaid expenses, offset by a $3.8 million decrease in deferred revenue related to support services and a $2.8 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses, primarily due to annual fiscal 2016 payment bonuses.

Cash flows used in operating activities were $1.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2016. The use of cash was mostly attributable to $1.7 million in net working capital movements associated with payments to vendors offset by $6.2 million in increased collections on accounts receivable and $0.3 million in restructuring, severance, and other payments to favorable working capital movements. This was offset by $1.3 million related to our operating loss adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and share based compensation.
