Additional required cash consideration of $1.35 million was offset against open receivable balances due to Ebix, Inc. from CurePet, and therefore no actual cash outlay was made by Ebix, Inc. Previously during 2012, Ebix acquired a minority19.8% interest in CurePet for cash consideration in the amount of $2.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 there were 38,0403,340 shares, totaling $1.14 million,$147 thousand, used to satisfy exercise costs and the recipients' income tax obligations related to stock options exercised and restricted stock vesting.

As of September 30,December 31, 2015 there were 40,00025,000 shares totaling $1.0 million$820 thousand of share repurchases that were not settled until October 2015.January 2016.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with the effect of inter-company balances and transactions eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC rules have been condensed or omitted as permitted by and pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 20142015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or the full year of 2015.2016. The condensed consolidated December 31, 20142015 balance sheet included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not necessarily include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20142015.
Reclassification—The change in reserve for potential uncertain income tax return positions had been previously netted against the provision for deferred taxes line in the consolidated statements of cash flows, it is now shown separately. Also, beginning in 2014 the Company has applied the new provisions under Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, A Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists and as more fully described in Note 6 "Income Taxes". A portion of potential uncertain income tax return positions previously reported in "Other Liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are now netted against the "Deferred tax asset, net" line in the long term asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Advertising—With the exception of certain direct-response costs, advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $2.1$4.7 million and $695 thousand$2.1 million in the first nine months of 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Sales and marketing expenses have been reduced in the first nine months of 2015 as a result of2016 include the deferment of $151 thousand (net of amortization) $2.9 million of certain

direct-response advertising costs associated with our recent acquisition of Oakstone, which have been capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 340. These costs are being amortized to expense over periods ranging from twelve to twenty-four months based on the type of product the customer purchases.
Fair Value of Financial Instrument—The Company follows the relevant GAAP guidance concerning fair value measurements which provides a consistent framework to define, measure, and disclose the fair value of assets and liabilities in financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an

(an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. This guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective data from external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable.
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments to the reporting entity at the measurement datedate.
Level 2 Inputs - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs, which are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and used in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and wherein the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk.

     A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 20152016 the Company had the following financial instruments to which it had to consider fair values and had to make fair value assessments:
Short-term investments for which the fair values are measured as a Level 1 instrument.
Contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities for which fair values are measured as Level 3 instruments. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 20152016 but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, capital lease obligations, and debt under the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under the syndicated credit agreement facility with Regions Financial Corporation. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Additional information regarding the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented in the following tables:

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs
As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are projected revenue forecasts as developed by the relevant members of Company's management team and the probability of achievement of those revenue forecasts. The discount rate used in these calculations is 1.75%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the corresponding acquired assets and liabilities. During the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2016, certain of the Company's contingent earn out liabilities were adjusted because of changes to anticipated future revenues from these acquired businesses, or as a result of finalizing purchase price allocations that were previously provisional.
Revenue Recognition—The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription and transaction fees pertaining to services delivered over our exchanges or from our ASPapplication service provider ("ASP") platforms, fees for risk compliance solution services, and fees for software development projects including associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems and applications. Sales and value-added taxes are not included in revenues, but rather are recorded as a liability until the taxes assessed are remitted to the respective taxing authorities.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) and SEC accounting guidance on revenue recognition, the Company considers revenue earned and realizable when: (a) persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, provided that the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (b) delivery or performance has occurred, (c) customer acceptance has been received or is assured, if contractually required, and (d) collectability of the arrangement fee is probable. The Company uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. We apply the provisions of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles related to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement.
For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with the relevant technical accounting guidance, which provides criteria governing how to determine whether goods or services that are delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be considered as separate units of accounting for the purpose of revenue recognition. These types of arrangements include deliverables pertaining to software licenses, system set-up, and professional services associated with product customization or modification. Delivery of the various contractual elements typically occurs over periods of less than eighteen months. These arrangements generally do not have refund provisions or have very limited refund terms.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by FASB using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.
Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable—Reported accounts receivable include $39.349.9 million of trade receivables stated at invoice billed amounts and $10.3$12.8 million of unbilled receivables, net of the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable in the amount of $2.41.9 million,. The unbilled receivables pertain to certain projects for which the timing of billing is tied to contractual milestones. The Company adheres to such contractually stated performance milestones and accordingly issues invoices to customers as per contract billing schedules. Approximately $6.3$5.1 million of deferred revenue is included in billed accounts receivable at September 30, 2015.2016. The Company recognized and recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $1.65$243 thousand and $700 thousand for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and $1.7 million and $1.95$2.0 million for the three and nine-monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, and $336 thousand and $1.1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance account when the Company has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts. During the nine months endingended September 30, 2015 $1.22016, $2.2 million of accounts receivable, which had been specifically reserved for in prior periods, were written off.

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the fair value of certain acquired contractual customer relationships for which future cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely. In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would likely have reduced the fair value

13


of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. The impairment evaluation process involves an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we were to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would not perform the two-step quantitative impairment testing described further below.
The aforementioned two-step quantitative testing process involves comparing the reporting unit carrying values to their respective fair values; we determine fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method using the present value of future estimated net cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if a reporting unit's fair value were to be less than its carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeded its implied value. Projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, operating costs, anticipated future economic conditions and the appropriate discount rates relative to risk and estimates of residual values. We believe that our estimates are consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. The use of different estimates or assumptions for our projected discounted cash flows (e.g., growth rates, future economic conditions, discount rates and estimates of terminal values) when determining the fair value of our reporting units could result in different values and may result in a goodwill impairment charge. In 2015 the goodwill residing in the Broker Systems reporting unit and the Carrier Systems reporting unit, were evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of certain qualitative factors, and were determined not to have been impaired. In 2015 the goodwill residing in the Exchange reporting unit and the Risk Compliance Solutions ("RCS") reporting unit were evaluated for impairment using step-one of the quantitative testing process described above. The fair value of both of these reporting units were found to be greater than their carrying value, and thusly there was no need to proceed to step-two, as there was no impairment indicated. In specific regards to the Risk Compliance Solutions reporting unit, its assessed fair value was $102.0 million which was $13.5 million or 15% in excess of its $88.5 million carrying value. Key assumptions used in the fair value determination were annual revenue growth of 2% to 3% and discount rate of 16%. As of December 31, 2015 there was $64.0 million of goodwill assigned to the RCS reporting unit. A significant reduction in future revenues for the RCS reporting unit would negatively effect the fair value determination for this unit and may result in an impairment to goodwill and a corresponding charge against earnings. We perform our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and testing as of September 30th of each year. This evaluation is done during the fourth quarter each year. During the year ended December 31, 20142015 we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances. The 2015 goodwill impairment evaluation is currently underway and will be completed commensurate with the release of the Company's full year 2015 financial reporting.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and the year ended December 31, 20142015 are reflected in the following table.

Capitalized Software Development Costs—In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Costs incurred to enhance our software products, after general market release of the services using the products, are expensed in the period they are incurred.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets—Purchased intangible assets represent the estimated acquisition date fair value of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements obtained in connection with the businesses we acquire. We amortize these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Foreign Currency Translation—The functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in India, Dubai, and Singapore is the U.S. dollar because the intellectual property research and development activities provided by its Dubai and Singapore subsidiary,subsidiaries, and the product development and information technology enabled services activities for the insurance industry provided by its India subsidiary, both in support of Ebix's operating divisions across the world, are transacted in U.S. dollars.
The functional currency of the Company's other foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency are included in the determination of net income.
Income Taxes—Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to

the amount management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are recorded for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized based on the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences will be deductible.
The Company also applies the relevant FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In this regard we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements—The following is a brief discussion of recently released accounting pronouncements that are pertinent to the Company's business:
In August 2016 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This ASU addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; distributions received from equity method investees; debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies and bank-owned life insurance policies; and beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and also addresses separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the ASU for those issuers would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company will adopt this ASU in January 2017 and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption.
In March 2016 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)". The amendments relate to when another party, along with the Company, is involved in providing a good or service to a customer. Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (i.e., the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (i.e., the entity is an agent). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by clarifying the following:
> An entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to a customer.
> An entity determines the nature of each specified good or service (e.g., whether it is a good, service, or a right to a good or service).
> When another entity is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of: (a) a good or another asset from the other party that it then transfers to the customer; (b) a right to a service that will be performed by another party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity’s behalf; or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services to provide the specified good or service to the customer.
> The purpose of the indicators in paragraph 606-10-55-39 is to support or assist in the assessment of control. The amendments in paragraph 606-10-55-39A clarify that the indicators may be more or less relevant to the control assessment and that one or more indicators may be more or less persuasive to the control assessment, depending on the facts and circumstances.

The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). The Company will adopt this new technical accounting guidance at that time and does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on its result of operations or financial position.
In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-07 "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting". The amendments affect all entities that have an investment that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. The Company will adopt this new technical guidance in 2017, and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption.
In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. This amendment simplifies the requirements for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt ASU in January 2017, but has not fully assessed the impact its adoption will have on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". This new accounting guidance is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets referred to as “Lessees” to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. An organization is to provide disclosures designed to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements concerning additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet the new ASU will require both types of leases (i.e., operating and capital) to be recognized on the balance sheet. The FASB lessee accounting model will continue to account for both types of leases. The capital lease will be accounted for in substantially the same manner as capital leases are accounted for under existing GAAP. For operating leases there will have to be the recognition of a lease liability and a lease asset for all such leases greater than one year in term. The leasing standard will be effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning after December 15, 2018. Public companies will be required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all companies and organizations. For calendar year-end public companies, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019 and retrospective application to previously issued annual and interim financial statements for 2018 and 2017. Lessees with a large portfolio of leases are likely to see a significant increase in balance sheet assets and liabilities. See Note 5 for the Company’s current lease commitments. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new leasing ASU will have on its financial statements.
In September 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.Adjustments". This pronouncement simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments.
U.S. GAAP currently requires that during the measurement period, the acquirer retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Those adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities.

The acquirer also must revise comparative information for prior periods presented in financial statements as needed, including revising depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of changes made to provisional amounts.
The amendments require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record and disclose, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.
For public business entities, the amendments arebecame effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The only disclosures required at transition should be the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. An entity should disclose that information in the first annual period of adoption and in the interim periods within the first annual period if there is a measurement-period adjustment during the first annual period in which the changes are effective. The Company adopted this ASU during the third quarter of 2015 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 20142015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")ASU No. 2014-172015-17, "Business Combinations Pushdown AccountingBalance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (a consensus of". This ASU requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU applybalance sheet. Prior to the separate financial statementsissuance of an acquired entityASU 2015-17, deferred taxes were required to be presented as a net current asset or liability and its subsidiaries that are a business (either publicnet noncurrent asset or nonpublic)liability.

If pushdown accounting isnet long-term deferred tax liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not applied in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs, an acquired entity will have the option to elect to apply pushdown accounting in a subsequent reporting period to the acquired entity’s most recent change-in-control event. An election to apply pushdown accounting in a reporting period after the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurred should be considered a change in accounting principle. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. If an acquired entity elects the option to apply pushdown accounting in its separateimpact our consolidated financial statements, it should disclose information in the current reporting period that enables usersposition, results of financial statements to evaluate the effect of pushdown accounting. The amendments in this ASU were effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control eventsoperations or to its most recent change-in-control event. The Company has adopted this ASU and its adoption has not had a material impact on its financial statements.cash flows.
In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU.
The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
For a public entity, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted.
An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods:
1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented and the entity may elect any of the following practical expedients:

For completed contracts, an entity need not restate contracts that begin and end within the same annual reporting period.
For completed contracts that have variable consideration, an entity may use the transaction price at the date the contract was completed rather than estimating variable consideration amounts in the comparative reporting periods.
For all reporting periods presented before the date of initial application, an entity need not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations and an explanation of when the entity expects to recognize that amount as revenue.
2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects this transition method it also should provide the additional disclosures in reporting periods that include the date of initial application of:
The amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of this ASU as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change.
An explanation of the reasons for significant changes.
Subsequently, in August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date", to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Accordingly public business entities should apply the guidance of ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period.
Although early adoption is allowed, the Company plans to adopt this new accounting standard on its newly revised effective date of January 1, 2018, but it has not presently determined the impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its income statement, balance sheet, or statement of cash flows. Furthermore, the Company has not yet determined the method of retrospective adoption it will use as described in first and second paragraphs immediately above.
In a related technical accounting pronouncement in April 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, which is an amendment to ASU 2014-09. This amendment provides clarification on two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. Public entities should apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application for public entities is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The effective date for nonpublic entities is deferred by one year. A summary of this ASU is as follows:
Identifying Performance Obligations
Before an entity can identify its performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract. The amendments add the following guidance:
1. An entity is not required to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.
2. An entity is permitted, as an accounting policy election, to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than as an additional promised service.
To identify performance obligations in a contract, an entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. The amendments improve the guidance on assessing the promises are separately identifiable criterion by:
1. Better articulating the principle for determining whether promises to transfer goods or services to a customer are separately identifiable by emphasizing that an entity determines whether the nature of its promise in the contract is to transfer each of the goods or services or whether the promise is to transfer a combined item (or items) to which the promised goods and/or services are inputs.

Table2. Revising the related factors and examples to align with the improved articulation of Contentsthe separately identifiable principle.
Licensing Implementation Guidance

Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance by clarifying the following:
1. An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality (e.g., the ability to process a transaction, perform a function or task, or be played or aired) does not include supporting or maintaining that intellectual property during the license period.
2. An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to symbolic intellectual property (that is, intellectual property that does not have significant standalone functionality) includes supporting or maintaining that intellectual property during the license period.
3. An entity considers the nature of its promise in granting a license, regardless of whether the license is distinct, in order to apply the other guidance in Topic 606 to a single performance obligation that includes a license and other goods or services (in particular, the guidance on determining whether a performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and the guidance on how best to measure progress toward the complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time).

Note 3: Business Combinations
    The Company seeks to execute accretive business acquisitions (which primarily targets businesses that are complementary to Ebix's existing products and services), in combination with organic growth initiatives, as part of its comprehensive business growth and expansion strategy, which primarily consist of businesses that are complementary to Ebix's existing products and services.strategy.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company completed one business acquisition as follows:

Effective July 1, 2016 Ebix and IHC jointly executed a Call Notice agreement, whereby Ebix purchased additional common units in the EbixHealth JV from IHC constituting eleven percent (11%) of the EbixHealth JV for $2.0 million cash which resulted in Ebix holding an aggregate fifty-one percent (51%) controlling equity interest in the EbixHealth JV. Commensurate with additional equity stake in the joint venture a contemporaneous valuation of the business was completed. In accordance with the technical accounting guidance pertaining to step acquisitions the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $21.8 million, a non-controlling interest in the amount of $11.3 million, and recognized a $1.2 million gain on its  previously carried 40% equity interest in the EbixHealth JV. This recognized gain is reflected as a component of other non-operating income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated  Statement of Income.  The valuation of the EbixHealth JV is considered preliminary as the allocation to the identified tangible and intangible assets (e.g. customer lists, trade name, developed technology), and the determination of the residual goodwill has yet to performed, but will be completed in line with the filing of the Company's 2016 annual report on Form 10-K. Previously, effective September 1, 2015 Ebix and Independence Holdings Corporation ("IHC") formed a joint venture named Ebix Health Exchange Holdings, LLC ("EbixHealth JV").   Ebix paid $6.0 million and contributed a license to use certain CurePet software and systems valued by the EbixHealth JV at $2.0 million, for its initial 40% membership interest in the EbixHealth JV.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed two business acquisitions, as follows:
The Company acquired PB Systems, Inc. (a U.S. company) and PB Systems Private Limited (an Indian company) (together, being "PB Systems"), effective June 1, 2015. PB Systems develops and implements software solutions for insurance clients. Ebix acquired PB Systems for upfront cash consideration in the amount of $12.4 million, plus possible future contingent earn out payments of up to $8.0 million based on earned revenues over the subsequent twenty-four month period following the effective date of the acquisition. The Company has determined that the fair value of the contingent earn out consideration is zero as of September 30, 2016. In the Company's Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2015, Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company had disclosed that the valuation and purchase price allocation for the PB Systems acquisition iswas preliminary because all of the information necessary to determine the fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible asset and will be finalized priorfair value of the revenue-based earn out contingent liability was still in the process of being evaluated by management and the Company's external valuation firms. This evaluation was completed during the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 and resulted in a $1.8 million reduction to the developed technology intangible asset, a $1.6 million reduction to the customer relationship intangible

asset, a $657 thousand reduction to the deferred tax liability, a $4.4 million reduction to the revenue-based earn out contingent liability, and a corresponding and offsetting $1.6 million reduction to goodwill to what was originally recorded in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, since December 31, 2015.2015 this resulted in a $8.2 million reduction to the customer relationship intangible asset, a $3.2 million reduction to the deferred tax liability, a $664 thousand reduction to the revenue-based earn out contingent liability, and a corresponding and offsetting $4.3 million increase to goodwill.
The Company acquired Via Media Health Communications Private Limited ("Via Media Health"), effective March 1, 2015. Via Media Health is one of India’s leading health content and communication companies. Ebix acquired Via Media Health for upfront cash consideration in the amount of $1.0 million, plus a possible future one time contingent earn out payment of up to $372 thousand based on earned revenues over the subsequent twelvetwelve- month period following the effective date of the acquisition, and an additional possible one time future performance bonus of up to $1.0 million depending upon revenue growth realized in the business over the subsequent twenty-four month period following the effective date of the acquisition. The valuation and purchase price allocation forCompany has determined that the Via Media Health acquisition remains preliminary and will be finalized prior to December 31, 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company complete the following business acquisitions, as follows:
Effective December 2, 2014, Ebix acquired Oakstone Publishing, LLC ("Oakstone") in a membership interest purchase agreement for total net cash consideration in the amount of $23.72 million ($31.37 million less a closing net working capital adjustment of $7.65 million). Oakstone is leading provider of continuing education, certification materials for physicians, dentists and allied healthcare professionals, as well as wellness resources for various organizations. Ebix acquired allfair value of the outstanding membership interests of Oakstone and funded the purchase using a mix of internal cash reserves and the bank credit line available to Ebix. The Company accounted for this acquisition by recording $28.8 million of goodwill, $1.7 million of intangible assets pertaining to customer relationships, $501 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to acquired technology, and a $6.5 million deferred revenue liability. The valuation and purchase price allocation for the Oakstone acquisition remains preliminary and will be finalized prior to December 31, 2015.
On December 1, 2014, Ebix acquired the DCM Group Inc. (d.b.a. i3 Software) ("i3") in an asset purchase agreement for total cash consideration in the amount of $2 million and a possible contingent earn out consideration is zero as of up to $4 million based on earned revenues over the subsequent twenty-four month period following the date of the acquisition. i3 is a provider of software services and solutions to the insurance industry.

OnNovember 3, 2014, Ebix acquired Vertex, Incorporated ("Vertex"), with an effective date of October 1, 2014, in a share purchase agreement for total cash purchase consideration in the amount of $27.25 million and a possible contingent earn out of $2 million based on earned revenues over the subsequent twenty-four month period following the date of the acquisition. Vertex is a specialized software and services firm focused primarily on the life and annuity insurance marketplace since 1991. Ebix acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Vertex and funded the purchase using a mix of internal cash reserves and the bank credit line available to Ebix. The Company accounted for this acquisition by recording $27.7 million of goodwill, $2.5 million of intangible assets pertaining to customer relationships, and $235 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to acquired technology.
On May 21, 2014, Ebix acquired HealthCare Magic Private Limited ("HealthCare Magic"), a medical advisory service with an online network of approximately fifteen thousand General Physicians and Surgeons spread across fifty specialties including alternative medicine. The Company acquired HealthCare Magic for aggregate cash consideration in the amount of $6.0 million plus a possible future one time contingent earn out payment of up to $12.36 million based on earned revenues over the subsequent twenty-four month period following the effective date of the acquisition. This contingent earnout liability is currently estimated to have a fair value of $596 thousand. The Company funded the HealthCare Magic acquisition from available cash reserves on hand. The Company accounted for this acquisition by recording $5.6 million of goodwill, $452 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to customer relationships, $100 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to acquired technology, $59 thousand on intangible assets pertaining to trademarks and tradenames, and $226 thousand of intangible assets pertaining to non-compete agreements.
On January 27, 2014, Ebix acquired CurePet. CurePet was a developmental-stage enterprise that developed an insurance exchange that connects pet owners, referring veterinarians, animal hospitals, academic institutes, and suppliers of medical and general pet supplies, while providing a wide variety of services related to pet insurance to each constituent including practice management, electronic medical records, and billing. Previously Ebix had a minority investment in CurePet. Ebix acquired the entire business of CurePet in an asset purchase agreement with total purchase consideration being $6.35 million which includes a possible future one time contingent earnout payment of up to $5.0 million based on earned revenues over the subsequent thirty-six month period following the effective date of the acquisition. This contingent earnout liability is currently estimated to have a fair value of zero. Additional required cash consideration of $1.35 million was offset against open accounts receivable balances due to the Company from CurePet, and no actual cash outlay was made by the Company. As discussed in Note 9, "Investment in Joint Venture," to the accompanying financial statements, upon the formation of Ebix Health Solutions, LLC, effective September 1, 2015, a joint venture between Ebix and IHC Health Holdings Corporation, Ebix contributed certain portions of its investment in CurePet to said joint venture as part of the consideration towards Ebix's 40% membership interest. The agreed upon value of the contributed CurePet investment was $2.0 million.30, 2016.
A significant component of the purchase price consideration for many of the Company's business acquisitions is a potential subsequent cash earnout payment based on reaching certain specified future revenue targets. The terms for the contingent earn out payments in most of the Company's business acquisitions typically address the GAAP recognizable revenues achieved by the acquired entity over a one, two, and/or three year period subsequent to the effective date of their acquisition by Ebix. These terms typically establish a minimum threshold revenue target with achievement of revenues recognized over that target being awarded in the form of a specified cash earn out payment. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the corresponding acquired assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes these potential obligations as contingent liabilities and are reported accordinglyas such on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed in more detail in Note 1, these contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 20142015, these aggregate contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities were reduced by $1.5$2.4 million and $7.5$1.5 million, respectively, due to remeasurements as based on the then assessed fair value and changes in anticipated future revenue levels. These reductions to the contingent accrued earn-out liabilities resulted in a corresponding reduction of $1.7 million to general and administrative expenses as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Income and a reduction of $664 thousand to goodwill as reported in the enclosed Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2015,2016, the total of these contingent liabilities was $8.01$1.62 million, of which $6.32 millionnone is reported in long-term liabilities, and $1.69$1.62 million is included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 20142015 the total of these contingent liabilities was $5.37$4.28 million, of which $4.48$2.57 million iswas reported in long-term liabilities, and $887 thousand is$1.71 million was included in current liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Consideration paid by the Company for the businesses it purchases is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Recognized goodwill pertains to the value of the expected synergies to be derived from combining the operations of the businesses we acquire including the value of the acquired workforce.

Note 7: Geographic Information
The Company operates with one reportable segment whose results are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker as to performance and allocation of resources. External customer revenues in the tables below are attributed to a

particular country based on whether the customer had a direct contract with the Company which was executed in that particular country for the sale of the Company's products/services with an Ebix subsidiary located in that country.
The impact from fluctuations of the exchange rates for the foreign currencies in the countries in which we conduct operations partially affected reported revenues, and were the primary cause for the drop in 2016 revenues in Australia and Latin America. Specifically, during the first nine months of 2016 the change in foreign currency exchange rates decreased reported Australian operating revenues by ($733) thousand, and Latin America operating revenues by $(491) thousand. India's revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2016 revenues increased $7.5 million due primarily to the various new e-governance contracts with a number of large clients. Europe's revenues increased $8.2 million due primarily to the execution and commencement of certain significant contracts.

General and administrative expenses increased by $8.1$2.0 million or 30%6%, to $35.0$37.0 million duringin the the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 as compared to $26.9$35.0 million during the same period of 2014.2015. This comparative year over year net increaserise in general and administrative expenses is primarily associated withdue to $3.2 million of increased personnel related costs (principally salaries, share-based compensation, payroll taxes and insurance benefits), and $384 thousand of increased legal, audit, and investor relational professional costs. These cost increases were partially offset by a $1.3 million comparative reduction to accounts receivable bad debt expense (being only $700 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 versus $2.0 million for the same nine month period in 2015). Also, favorably impacting reported general and administrative expenses was a net $1.8 million reduction into contingent earn out liabilities in connection with prior business acquisitions. In particularresulting from the remeasurements of and adjustments to the contingent earn out liabilities associated with the acquisitions of Vertex (October 2014),Via Media (March 2015), and PB Systems (June 2015) for which the liabilities were reduced by $720 thousand, $1.5 million, and $326 thousand respectively and Qatarlyst (April 2013) for which the liability was increased by $780 thousand. $326 thousand of the PB Systems earn out liability reduction was recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses, and $664 thousand recorded as a reduction to goodwill based on the facts that were available at the time the business acquisition was consummated. The terms for the Company's October 2014 acquisition of Vertex was reduced by $960 thousand and thecontingent earn out payments in most of the Company's business acquisitions typically address the GAAP recognizable revenues achieved by the acquired entity over a one, two, and/or three year period subsequent to the effective date of their acquisition by Ebix. These terms typically establish a minimum threshold revenue target with achievement of revenues recognized over that target being awarded in the form of a specified earn out payment. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the Company's May 2014 acquisition of HealthCare Magic was reduced by $573 thousand both in the 3rd quarter of 2015, whereas duringcorresponding acquired assets and liabilities. During the nine months endingended September 30, 2014 all such2016 the cited contingent earn out liabilities were reducedadjusted because of changes to anticipated future revenues from these acquired businesses. The cause for the Vertex,Via Media, and PB Systems contingent liability reductions were due to the fact that the acquired businesses earn out revenue targets were based on revenue run rates at the time of the acquisitions, their growth trajectories, and their client contracts in hand at the aggregatetime the businesses were acquired, while in recent times their revenues have been impacted downwards by $7.5 million primarilycertain unforeseen changes in connection withterms of the Company's June 2012 acquisitionpace of PlanetSoft,project implementation and resource budget allocation by some of their key clients.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's ability to generate significant cash flows from ongoing operating activities is one of ourit's fundamental financial strengths. Our principal sources of liquidity are the cash flows provided by the Company's operating activities, ourthe Company's commercial banking credit facility, and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Due to the effect of temporary or timing differences resulting from the differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes (including the treatment of net operating loss carryforwards and minimum alternative tax obligations in the U.S. and India, respectively)Great Britain, and India), future cash outlays for income taxes are expected to exceed income tax expense. We intend to utilize cash flows generated by our operations, in combination with our commercial bank credit facility, and the possible issuance of additional equity or debt securities, to fund capital expenditures and organic growth initiatives, to make strategic and accretive business acquisitions in the insurance services sector, and to re-purchase shares of our common stock as market conditions warrant.

We believe that anticipated cash flows provided by our operating activities, together with current cash and cash equivalent balances, access to our credit facilities, and access to the capital markets, if required and available, will be sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future, although any projections of future cash needs, cash flows, and the condition of the capital markets in general, as to the availability of debt and equity financing, are subject to substantial uncertainty.
Our cash and cash equivalents were $33.2$99.8 million and $52.3$57.2 million at September 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively. The $8.97 million of restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is associated with the EbixHealth JV and pertains to un-remitted insurance premiums and claim funds established for the benefit of various carriers which are held in a fiduciary capacity until disbursed.
The free flow of cash from certain countries where we hold significant cash balances may be subject to repatriation tax effects and other restrictions. Specifically the repatriation of earnings from some of our foreign subsidiaries could result in the application of withholding taxes at that foreign source as well as a tax at the U.S. parent level upon receipt of repatriated amounts. The approximate cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances held in our domestic U.S. operations and each of our foreign subsidiaries as of November 6, 20158, 2016 are presented in the table below (figures denominated in thousands):

Our short-term liquidity has improved due to increased cash and cash equivalent balances on hand, increased outstanding trade accounts receivable,receivables, and additional prepaid expense assets, partially offset by the reduction$12.5 million of short term liability associated with the term loan component of the amended syndicated financing agreement with Regions Bank . The Company's days sales outstanding in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily as a resultreceivable ("DSO") was 73 days at September 30, 2016 up 8 days from 65 days at June 30, 2016, due principally to greater aging of the cashcustomer accounts receivable in our Canadian and India subsidiaries, and within the two joint venture operations that Ebix has a controlling position, particularly the Ebix Vayam joint venture in India in which the contracts with the local government agencies have protracted payment of $20.5 million (including interest of $1.6 million) stemming from the settlement and resolution of the Internal Revenue Service's previously disclosed audit of Ebix’s income tax returns for the taxable years 2008 through 2012.terms.
We believe that Ebix's ability to generate sustainable and robust cash flows from operations will enable the Company to continue to fund its current liabilities from current assets including available cash balances for the foreseeable future.

These terms typically establish a minimum threshold revenue target with achievement of revenues recognized over that target being awarded in the form of a specified earn out payment. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the corresponding acquired assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes these potential obligations as contingent liabilities. These contingent consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date

The underlying financing agreement contains financial covenants regarding the Company's annualized fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, as well as certain restrictive covenants pertaining to such matters as the incurrence of new debt and the consummation of new business acquisitions. The Company currently is in compliance with all such financial and restrictive covenants. As ofAt September 30, 20152016 the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $1.40$3.38 million of remaining deferred financing costs.costs in connection with this credit facility, which are being amortized as a component of interest expense over the five-year term of the financing agreement. In regards to these deferred financing costs, $2.7 million pertains to the revolving line of credit component of the Credit Agreement, and $676 thousand pertains to the term loan component of the Credit Agreement of which $136 thousand is netted against the current portion and $540 thousand is netted against the long-term portions of the term loan as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information about new accounting pronouncements and the potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 1 of the condensed notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 20142015 Form 10-K.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”),GAAP, as promulgated in the United States, requires our management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following accounting policies involve the use of “critical accounting estimates” because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are uncertain at the time the

34


accounting estimates are made. In addition, while we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have possibly been used in the current period, and changes in the accounting estimates that we used are reasonably likely to occur from period to period both of which may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For additional information about these policies, see Note 1 of the Condensed Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are limited based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription and transaction fees pertaining to services delivered over our exchanges or from our ASP platforms, fees for business process outsourcing services, and fees for software development projects including associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")FASB and SEC accounting guidance on revenue recognition the Company considers revenue earned and realizable when: (a) persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, provided that the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (b) delivery or performance has occurred, (c) customer acceptance has been received, if contractually required, and (d) collectability of the arrangement fee is probable. The Company uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. We apply the provisions of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles related to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement.
For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with the relevant technical accounting guidance, which provides criteria governing how to determine whether goods or services that are delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be considered as separate units of accounting for the purpose of revenue

recognition. Generally these types of arrangements include deliverables pertaining to software licenses, system set-up, and professional services associated with product customization or modification. Delivery of the various contractual elements typically occurs over periods of less than eighteen months. These arrangements generally do not have refund provisions or have very limited refund terms.
Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by FASB using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, write-offs, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Valuation of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the fair value of acquired contractual customer relationships for which future cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely. In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would likely have reduced the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. The impairment evaluation process first involves an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we were to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we would not perform the two-step quantitative impairment testing described further below.
The aforementioned two-step quantitative testing process involves comparing the reporting unit carrying values to their respective fair values. We determine the fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method using the present value of future estimated net cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if a reporting unit's fair value were to be less than its carrying value, we would then determine the

35


amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeded its implied value. Projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, operating costs, anticipated future economic conditions and the appropriate discount rates relative to risk and estimates of residual values. We believe that our estimates are consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. The use of different estimates or assumptions for our projected discounted cash flows (e.g., growth rates, future economic conditions, discount rates and estimates of terminal values) when determining the fair value of our reporting units could result in different values and may result in a goodwill impairment charge. We perform our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and testing as of September 30th of each year. This evaluation is done during the fourth quarter each year. During the year ended December 31, 20142015 we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances. The 2015 goodwill impairment evaluation is currently underway and will be completed commensurate with the release of the Company's full year 2015 financial reporting.
Valuation of Contingent Liabilities related to Earn Out Obligations from Business AcquisitionsAcquisitions
A significant component of the purchase price consideration for many of the Company's business acquisitions is a potential subsequent cash earnout payment based on reaching certain specified future revenue targets. The terms for the contingent earn out payments in most of the Company's business acquisitions typically address the GAAP recognizable revenues achieved by the acquired entity over a one, two, and/or three year period subsequent to the effective date of their acquisition by Ebix. These terms typically establish a minimum threshold revenue target with achievement of revenues recognized over that target being awarded in the form of a specified cash earn out payment. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the corresponding acquired assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes these potential obligations as contingent liabilities and are reported accordinglyas such on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed in more detail in Note 1 toDuring the accompanying Condensed Consolidated interim financial statements,nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 these aggregate contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities are recorded at fair value on the acquisition datewere reduced by $2.4 million and are remeasured quarterly$1.5 million, respectively, due to remeasurements as based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary.changes in anticipated future revenue levels. These reductions to the contingent accrued earn-out liabilities resulted in a corresponding reduction of $1.7 million to general and administrative expenses as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and a reduction

of $664 thousand to goodwill as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2016, the total of these contingent liabilities was $1.62 million.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are recorded for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized based on the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences will be deductible.
The Company also applies FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
Foreign Currency Matters
The functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in India, Dubai, and Singapore is the U.S. dollar because the intellectual property research and development activities provided by its Dubai and Singapore subsidiary, and the product development and information technology enabled services activities for the insurance industry provided by its India subsidiary.subsidiary, both in support of Ebix's operating divisions across the world, are transacted in U.S. dollars.
The functional currency of the Company's other foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation adjustments are included as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency are included in the determination of net income.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign-based operations where certain transactions are denominated in other than our entity's functional currency and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of those currencies. Most of the Company's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars,dollars; however, the Company has significant and expanding operations in Australia, Brazil and Europe, and we conduct transactions in the local currencies of each of those locations. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, revenues or financial condition. During the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 20142015 the net change in the cumulative foreign currency translation account, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity, were unrealized losses of $14.2$1.0 million and $1.9$14.2 million, respectively. The Company considered the historical trends in currency exchange rates and determined that it was reasonably possible that adverse changes in our respective foreign currency exchange rates of 20% could be experienced in the near term. Such an adverse change in currency exchange rates would have resulted in reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $1.9$3.4 million and $4.0$1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates to its interest expense on outstanding debt obligations and to its interest income on existing cash balances. As of September 30, 20152016 the Company had $187.1$255.9 million of outstanding debt obligations which consisted of a $186.47$121.9 million term loan and a $134.0 million balance on our commercial banking revolving line of credit, and a $604 thousand in secured promissory note payable.credit. The Company's revolving line of credit bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%, and stood at 2.00%2.81% at September 30, 2015.2016. The Company is exposed to market risk in relation to this line of credit in regards to the potential increase in interest expense arising from adverse changes in interest rates. This interest rate risk is estimated as the potential decrease in earnings resulting from a hypothetical 30%30 basis point increase in the LIBOR rate. Such an adverse change in the LIBOR rate would have resulted in a reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $117$430 thousand and $24$117 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively. The Company's average cash balances during the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 were $34.8$76.0 million and its existing cash balances as of September 30, 20152016 were $33.2$99.8 million. The Company is exposed to market risk in relation to these cash balances in regards to the potential loss of interest income arising from adverse changes in interest rates. This interest rate risk is estimated as the potential decrease in earnings resulting from a hypothetical 20% decrease in20 basis point interest rates earned on deposited funds. Such an adverse change in these interest rates would have resulted in a reduction to pre-tax income of approximately $34$244 thousand and $60$34 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively.
There were no other material changes to our market risk exposure during the nine months ended September 30, 20152016 and 20142015. For additional information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in Part II, Item 7A of our 20142015 Form 10-K.
