	Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs:
	•	Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
	•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means.
	•	Level 3 - Measured based on prices or valuation models using unobservable inputs to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available (i.e., where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability).
	The following table provides information regarding the financial assets accounted for at fair value and the type of inputs used to value the assets:
	(in thousands)		Level 1		Level 2		Total

	At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company’s investments were recognized at fair value determined based upon observable input information provided by the Company’s pricing service vendors for identical or similar assets. For these investments, cost approximated fair value. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not hold any level 3 investments or recognize any gains or losses on its investments. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold auction rate securities having a cost basis of approximately $46.6 million and a carrying value of approximately $32.6 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $4.1 million.

	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined, based on its assessment of qualitative factors as of July 1, 2013, the date of the annual goodwill impairment test, that none of its reporting units met the “more likely than not” threshold (i.e. it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units are less than their respective carrying values) that would require the Company to perform the first step of the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the increase in goodwill of approximately $19.8 million was primarily due to foreign currency exchange changes.
	On July 1, 2013, the Company's annual impairment analysis date, the Company adopted revised guidance on how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined, based on its assessment of qualitative factors as of July 1, 2013, that its indefinite-lived trademarks did not meet the "more likely than not" threshold requiring that the Company calculate fair value of its indefinite-lived trademarks. Accordingly, the Company did not perform any further analysis.
	Subsequent to the annual impairment analysis date of July 1, 2013, there have been no events or circumstances that caused the Company to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. Subsequent to July 1, 2013, there have been no events or circumstances that caused the Company to determine that it is more likely than not that its indefinite-lived trademarks have been impaired.

	CREDIT AGREEMENTS
	The Company had two credit agreements (the “Credit Agreements”) that expired on September 30, 2013. The Credit Agreements provided an aggregate $50.0 million multi-currency committed line of credit. The international facility was secured by 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s main operating Ireland subsidiary and 100% of the capital stock of all of the remaining major foreign subsidiaries. The U.S. facility was secured by 100% of the capital stock of a number of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries as well as inventory and receivables located in the U.S.
	For borrowings in U.S. currency, the interest rate under the Credit Agreements was equal to the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or the prime rate. For borrowings in foreign currencies, the interest rate was determined by a LIBOR-based formula, plus an additional margin of 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the immediately preceding four calendar quarters. Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company was required to pay to the lenders insignificant commitment fees on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Credit Agreements also contained certain financial covenants and restrictions on the Company’s ability to assume additional debt, repurchase stock, sell subsidiaries or acquire companies.
	On September 30, 2013, the expiration date of the Credit Agreements, the Company repaid the approximately $1.8 million outstanding under the Credit Agreements.
	The Company also has a credit relationship with a European bank in the amount of EUR 1.0 million (approximately $1.4 million at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate). Under the terms of this facility, the Company may borrow in the form of either a line of credit or term debt. As of December 31, 2013, there were no balances outstanding on this credit facility, but approximately EUR 0.1 million (approximately $0.2 million at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate) of the credit facility has been used for guarantees. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a borrowing capacity of approximately EUR 0.9 million (approximately $1.2 million at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate) available under this credit facility.

Net Income Per Share Attributable To MICROS Systems, Inc. Common Shareholders	'
	Basic net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common stockholders is computed by dividing net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share attributable to MICROS Systems, Inc. common stockholders includes additional dilution from shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.
	The following table provides a reconciliation of the net income available to MICROS Systems, Inc. to basic and diluted net income per share:

	The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 32.2% and 32.5%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to favorable changes in the mix of earnings among jurisdictions.
	The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 35.2% and 28.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to increases resulting from the following:
	(i) The change in our uncertain tax positions increased the effective tax rate and tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2013 by 5.7% and approximately $6.7 million, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. This increase primarily reflected the tax benefit of the settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitations recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2012.
	(ii) The effects of the reduction in the U.K. tax rate to 20% increased the effective tax rate and income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2013 by 2.1% and approximately $2.4 million, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. The rate reduction caused the effective tax rate to increase by reducing the carrying value of the Company's U.K. net deferred tax assets.
	The above increases were partially offset by a decrease in taxes due to favorable changes in the earnings mix among jurisdictions.
	The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2013 is more than the 35% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate for corporations primarily due to the effects of the Company's uncertain tax positions and the reduction in the U.K. tax rate, which increases the Company's effective tax rate (described above), partially offset by taxes on earnings in jurisdictions which have a lower rate than the U.S.
	The Company estimates that, within the next 12 months, its unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by between approximately $2.7 million and approximately $4.7 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and from expected settlements with tax authorities. However, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Over the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s tax positions will continue to generate liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.
	The Company currently has no plans to repatriate to the U.S. its cumulative unremitted foreign earnings, as it intends to permanently reinvest such earnings internationally. If the Company changes its strategy in the future and repatriates such funds, the amount of any taxes, which could be significant, and the application of any tax credits, would be determined based on the appropriate jurisdictional income tax laws at the time of such repatriation. Due to the extent of uncertainty as to which remittance structure would be used should a decision be made in the future to repatriate, the availability and the complexity of calculating foreign tax credits, and the implications of indirect taxes, including withholding taxes, determination of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these unremitted earnings is not practicable.
	The Company’s income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the U.S. tax authorities for tax years ending before June 2011, by the U.K. tax authorities for tax years ending before June 2010, by the German tax authorities for tax years ending before June 2006 and the Irish tax authorities for tax years ending before June 2009. Certain periods prior to these dates, however, could be subject to adjustment as a result of the competent authority process, or due to the impact of items such as carryback or carryforward claims.

	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted FASB guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent that the deferred tax asset is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position, or if the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, and will result only in presentation changes in the consolidated balance sheet.

	The Company is organized and operates in four operating segments: U.S./Canada, Europe, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America regions. The Company has identified U.S./Canada as a separate reportable segment and has aggregated its three international operating segments into one reportable segment, International, as the three international operating segments share many similar economic characteristics. Management views the U.S./Canada and International segments separately in operating its business, although the products and services are similar for each segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
	Historically, all of the Company’s new business acquisitions have been integrated into the existing operating segments, based on their respective geographic locations, and are subsequently operated and managed as part of that operating segment.
	A summary of certain financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is set forth below:

	On October 21, 2013, the Company entered into a final settlement with the plaintiff in Roth Cash Register v. MICROS Systems, Inc., et al., a case initially filed in 2000 in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania based on the plaintiff's allegation that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and employees entered into a plan to eliminate the plaintiff as an authorized dealer and improperly interfere with the plaintiff's relationships with its existing and future clients without compensation to the plaintiff. Following an adverse jury verdict, reduced on appeal, the Company paid approximately $2.5 million to the plaintiff on June 7, 2012 in payment of the portion of the verdict that was no longer in dispute plus applicable post-judgment interest. Upon the conclusion of post-appeal proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas with regard to the remaining amount of the verdict, the Court entered an order reducing the remaining judgment in favor of the plaintiff from $4.5 million to approximately $2.8 million. The Company appealed this judgment, which was affirmed by the Superior Court on October 4, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company accrued a charge of approximately $2.8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses with respect to the judgment, and also accrued interest of $0.9 million, reflecting the 6% per annum interest payable on the judgment. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company made a full and final payment of approximately $3.7 million to the plaintiff on October 21, 2013, and, on October 31, 2013, the case was marked satisfied, settled, and discontinued.
	On November 26, 2013, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee by Kristy Wilson, Darren Moore and Kisha Ulysse, three former employees of the Company, individually and on behalf of a purported class of all persons who worked for the Company as an Implementation Specialist or performed substantially similar job duties (each, an "Implementation Specialist") within the period beginning three years prior to the filing of the complaint through the date of judgment and who worked for more than 40 hours in one or more weeks without receiving overtime compensation allegedly required by the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). In addition, the complaint was brought by plaintiff Ulysse individually and collectively on behalf of a purported class (the "Purported California Class") of all persons who were employed by the Company in an Implementation Specialist position in California and/or performed work in any Implementation Specialist position in California, and who did not receive the overtime and premium wages allegedly required by the overtime pay and restitution laws of California at any time during the four years prior to the date of the filing of the complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company willfully violated the FLSA by willfully classifying the plaintiffs as exempt and thereby failing to pay them the legally required amount of overtime compensation for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours. With respect to the Purported California Class, the complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the California Labor Code and California Unfair Competition law due to the Company's failure to pay all wages required by the California Labor Code, the failure to timely provide accurate itemized wage statements, and the failure to provide required meal and rest periods. The complaint seeks, among other things, damages equal to unpaid overtime wages, an equal amount to the overtime wages as liquidated damages, interest, attorneys' fees and other costs and, with respect to the Purported California Class, in addition to unpaid overtime wages, the complaint seeks unpaid meal and rest premiums, statutory penalties, attorneys' fees and other costs provided under California law, interest, injunctive relief, and other equitable relief. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 17, 2014 denying the allegations of the complaint, denying that the putative classes are appropriate, and asserting a number of affirmative defenses, including, among others, that the claims, in whole or in part, are barred because the FLSA overtime obligations are inapplicable to the plaintiffs under the FLSA or similar state law. In addition, on January 17, 2014, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Injunctive or Declaratory Relief Claims, asserting, among other things, that because the plaintiffs are no longer Company employees, they lack standing to seek injunctive or declaratory relief. The Company intends to vigorously contest this action.
	The Company is and has been involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, and the Company is of the opinion, based upon presently available information and the advice of counsel concerning pertinent legal matters, that any resulting liability should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. An adverse outcome in current or future litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

	On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted FASB guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent that the deferred tax asset is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position, or if the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, and will result only in presentation changes in the consolidated balance sheet.
