Description Of The Business And Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1.     Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of the Business
	ARI Network Services, Inc. (“ARI” or “the Company”) creates software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) and data-as-a-service (“DaaS”) solutions that help equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers in selected vertical markets to Sell More Stuff!™ – online and in-store. We remove the complexity of selling and servicing new and used inventory, parts, garments, and accessories (”PG&A”) for customers in the outdoor power equipment (“OPE”), powersports, automotive tire and wheel (“ATW”), home medical equipment (“HME”), marine, recreational vehicle (“RV”) and appliances industries.  Our innovative products are powered by a proprietary library of enriched original equipment and aftermarket content that spans more than 469,000 models from over 1,400 manufacturers. More than 22,000 equipment dealers, 195 distributors and 140 manufacturers worldwide leverage our web and eCatalog platforms to Sell More Stuff!
	We were incorporated in Wisconsin in 1981.  Our principal executive office and headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The office address is 10850 West Park Place, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, WI 53224, and our telephone number at that location is (414) 973-4300. Our principal website address is www.arinet.com.  ARI also maintains operations in Duluth, Minnesota; Cypress, California; Floyds Knobs, Indiana; and Leiden, The Netherlands.
	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of ARI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARI Europe B.V and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  We eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
	Fiscal Year
	Our fiscal year ends on July 31. References to fiscal 2014, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, and references to fiscal 2013 refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in the Netherlands is the Euro; accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange existing at the end of the period, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates during the period and expensed to other income (expense).  Adjustments resulting from the re-measurement of the consolidated financial statements into the reporting currency are charged or credited to comprehensive income (loss).
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers capitalization and amortization of software product costs, valuation of intangible assets, allowance for bad debt, contingent liabilities for anticipated future earn-out payments related to the acquisition of a business, valuation of stock-based compensation, the deferred tax valuation allowance and the fair value of common stock warrants to be significant estimates that are subject to change in the near term.
	Changes in Accounting Estimates
	During fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company had a change in its estimated valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets due to ongoing revisions and evaluations of the estimated future expected results of operations and tax planning strategies.  The difference between the amounts previously recorded as a valuation allowance and the amount currently recorded was charged to income tax expense, as more fully discussed in Note 11.  The amount of this change in accounting estimate was income of $32,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share in fiscal 2014, and $1,341,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted common share, in fiscal 2013.
	During fiscal 2014, the Company had a change in the estimated fair value of its contingent liabilities related to consideration for the Ready2Ride acquisition due to an amendment to the terms of the agreement, resulting in a gain of $67,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share. During fiscal fiscal 2013, the Company had a change in the estimated fair value of its contingent liabilities related to consideration for the Ready2Ride acquisition due to an evaluation of the estimated future revenues resulting from that operation, resulting in a gain of $180,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share.
	During fiscal 2014, the Company had a change in the estimated remaining useful life of one of its website software products due to the anticipated transition of customers using this product to a different website product, resulting in an increase in software amortization expense of $285,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues from subscription fees for use of our software, access to our catalog content, and software maintenance and support fees are all recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. ARI considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months not to be fixed or determinable and evaluates other arrangements with payment terms longer than normal to determine whether the arrangement is fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Arrangements that include acceptance terms beyond the standard terms are not recognized until acceptance has occurred. If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
	Revenues for professional services to customize complex features and functionality in a product’s base software code or develop complex interfaces within a customer’s environment are recognized as the services are performed.  When the current estimates of total contract revenue for professional services and the total related costs indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period the amount is determined.  Professional services revenue for set-up and integration of hosted websites, or other services considered essential to the functionality of other elements of this type of arrangement, is amortized over the term of the contract.
	Revenue for variable transaction fees, primarily for use of the shopping cart feature of our websites, is recognized as it is earned.
	Amounts received for shipping and handling fees are reflected in revenue.  Costs incurred for shipping and handling are reported in cost of revenue.
	Amounts invoiced to customers prior to recognition as revenue, as discussed above, are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as deferred revenue.
	No single customer accounted for 10% or more of ARI’s revenue in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Trade Receivables, Credit Policy and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due on normal trade terms, most of which require payment within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
	The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected.  The allowance for potential doubtful accounts is reflected as an offset to trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.
	Work in Process
	Work in process consists of services provided by the Company, for which revenue was recognized and billing is done in arrears and have not been invoiced as of the end of the reporting period.
	Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
	Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. The Company developed tools for internal use related to the publication of catalog data and network software related to hosting our customer products which are included in computer equipment and software for internal use of which $29,000 and $60,000 were capitalized during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization are computed under the straight-line method for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful lives of the assets or the term of the related lease agreement, whichever is shorter.  Depreciation and amortization is expensed over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
		Computer equipment and software for internal use	3 – 7 years
		Leasehold improvements	2 – 7 years
		Furniture and equipment	3 – 5 years
	Capitalized and Purchased Software Product Costs
	Certain software development and acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Capitalization of these costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the on-going assessment of recoverability of software costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, the determination of technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.
	The annual amortization of software products is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product which currently runs from two to nine years. Amortization starts when the product is available for general release to customers.  The Company capitalizes software enhancements on an on-going basis and all other software development and support expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.
	Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts
	Fees associated with securing debt are capitalized and included in prepaid expense and other and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  Common stock issued in connection with securing debt is recorded to debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the debt on the consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred loan fees and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
	The Company capitalized loan fees of approximately $3,000 and $319,000, respectively, during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 for closing costs associated with the line of credit and long-term debt agreements, described in Note 4, of which approximately $28,000 and $112,000, respectively, was amortized to interest expense in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.  Approximately $144,000 of deferred finance costs related to debt which was paid early was charged to loss on debt extinguishment in fiscal 2013. At July 31, 2014, we had unamortized deferred loan fees of $98,000, of which $72,000 was included in other long-term assets and $26,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet.  At July 31, 2013, we had unamortized deferred loan fees of $123,000, of which $97,000 was included in other long term assets and $26,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet.
	The Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $585,000 during fiscal 2013 related to common stock issued in connection with incurred debt described in Note 4, of which approximately $47,000 was amortized to interest expense and the remaining $538,000 was charged to loss on debt extinguishment when the loan was paid off prior to maturity.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	In accordance with GAAP, long-lived assets, including capitalized software product costs, property and equipment, and amortized intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.  Such analyses necessarily involve judgment.  During fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of equipment and leasehold improvements with a cost basis of $1,161,000, recognizing a net loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $35,000 or $0.00 per share primarily related to the closing of the Virginia office and the transition to a new telephone system.  During fiscal 2013, the Company disposed of equipment and leasehold improvements with a cost basis of $420,000, recognizing a net loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $420,000 or $0.04 per share related to development of an internal ERP system.
	Goodwill
	GAAP requires that we assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances warrant a review.  Certain triggering events that may warrant a more frequent impairment test include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.  We tested for goodwill impairment at July 31, 2014 and 2013.
	We test goodwill for impairment using a two-step process, as prescribed by GAAP. The first step of the test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	We determined there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests.  We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using various valuation techniques, with the primary techniques being a market captalization test and a discounted cash flow analysis. There are many estimates and assumptions involved in preparing a discounted cash flow analysis, including most significantly the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) used to discount future cash flows, anticipated long-term growth rates, and future profit margins.  Management uses its best efforts to reasonably estimate all of these and other inputs in the cash flow models utilized.  We estimated future cash flows using multiple forecast scenarios and management used its judgment to assign a weighting to each scenario.  Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test indicated that goodwill was not impaired in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.  As a result, step 2 of the test was not performed.
	Deferred Income Taxes
	The tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the estimated tax benefit from tax net operating losses is reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. An assessment of the likelihood that net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income is performed at each reporting date or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a change in the valuation allowance. Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	ARI uses the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in our results of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, which were estimated based on our historical experience.
	Fair Value Assets and Liabilities
	ARI uses the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.  The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Common Stock Warrants
	ARI periodically issues common stock warrants in connection with debt and equity financing arrangements.  The terms of the agreements are assessed to determine whether the instrument qualifies as an equity arrangement or a debt arrangement.  Arrangements determined to be derivatives are recorded at fair value as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, with periodic gains and losses related to the change in fair value recorded to earnings on the consolidated statement of operations.  We recorded a loss on the change in fair value of $28,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share and $635,000 or $0.06 per basic and diluted share during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to changes in market price of the Company’s common stock.
	Advertising Costs
	Advertising costs, which are included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statement of operations, are expensed as incurred.  Total advertising costs were $131,000 and $171,000 in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of financial information that has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). We reported comprehensive income (loss), which includes net income(loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and shareholders’ equity for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.
	Legal Provisions
	ARI is periodically involved in legal proceedings arising from contracts, patents or other matters in the normal course of business. We reserve for any material estimated losses if the outcome is probable and reasonably estimatable, in accordance with GAAP.   We had no legal provisions in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.
	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during fiscal 2014 that have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.  An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the consolidated 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, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward 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 a tax position or the tax law of the applicable 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 consolidated financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.  We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting these standards on the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2015 and beyond.
The FASB has recently made available ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606, which 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. 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.  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: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period; or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting these standards on the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2018 and beyond.
Management has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and believes that there are no other pronouncements that will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in fiscal 2015.

	4.     Debt
	Silicon Valley Bank
	On April 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), pursuant to which SVB extended to the Company credit facilities consisting of a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 26, 2015 and a $4,500,000 term loan with a maturity date of April 26, 2018.  The Agreement replaced the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, which is described below.
	The following is a description of the terms of the Agreement as of July 31, 2014.  On September 30, 2014, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of TCS, the Company entered into the First Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with SVB, which contained substantial amendments to the terms of the Agreement.  See Note 15 Subsequent Events for a description of the TCS acquisition and the terms of the Agreement as amended by the Modification Agreement.
	At July 31, 2014, the term loan and any loans made under the SVB revolving credit facility accrued interest at a per annum rate equal to one or more of the following, as selected by SVB:  (a) the one,  two or three-month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Agreement, subject to a floor of 1.00%), plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans set forth in the chart below, determined based on the most recent senior leverage ratio, total senior indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), calculated by SVB on a quarterly basis (the “Senior Leverage Ratio”); or (b) the Prime rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans set forth in the chart below determined based on the Senior Leverage Ratio (effective rate of 3.75% at July 31, 2014).
			Applicable Margin			Applicable Margin
	Senior Leverage Ratio		for Libor Loans			for Prime Rate Loans
	>=/font>1.75 to 1.0:		3.25	%		1.00	%
	>  1.25 to 1.00 but <1.75 to 1.00:		3.00	%		0.75	%
	<=/font>1.25 to 1.00:		2.75	%		0.50	%
	Principal in respect of any loans made under the revolving facility is required to be paid in its entirety on or before April 26, 2015.  Principal in respect of the term loan is required to be paid in quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Company which were as follows as of July 31, 2014:  $112,500 commenced on August 1, 2013 through May 1, 2014; $168,750 commencing on August 1, 2014 through May 1, 2015; and $281,250 commencing on August 1, 2015 through February 1, 2018.  All remaining principal in respect of the term loan was due and payable on April 26, 2018.  The Company is permitted to prepay all of, but not less than all of, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan upon certain notice to SVB and, in certain circumstances, the payment of a prepayment penalty of up to $90,000 as of July 31, 2014.
	The Agreement contains covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain conditions, the ability of the Company to permit a change of control, incur debt, create liens on its assets, make certain investments, enter into merger or acquisition transactions and make distributions to its shareholders. As of July 31, 2014, financial covenants included the maintenance of a minimum Senior Leverage Ratio equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, and the maintenance of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement) equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.00. The Agreement also contains customary events of default that, if triggered, could result in an acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement.  The loans are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.  The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at July 31, 2014.
	Fifth Third Bank
	On July 27, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, Fifth Third extended to the Company credit facilities consisting of a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”) and a $5,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Loan, the “Credit Facilities”).
	On August 17, 2012, the Credit Facilities were amended to increase the principal amount of the Term Loan by $1,000,000, and extend the maturity date to December 15, 2014.  Each of the Credit Facilities bore interest at a rate based on the one,  two,  three or six month LIBOR (as selected by the Company on the last business day of each month) plus 4.0%.
	On November 28, 2012 the Credit Facilities were further amended to waive the provisions of the Agreement that would prohibit ARI’s acquisition of 50 Below and the financing of $3,500,000 of the acquisition with a secured subordinated promissory note in the same amount.  Under the amendment, Fifth Third consented to the acquisition of the 50 Below assets and the related transactions and provided waivers of certain provisions of the Credit Facilities, subject to certain terms and conditions.  Such terms and conditions included, among others:  (i) amendments to the fixed charge coverage ratio and senior leverage (maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA) ratio financial covenants; (ii) the addition of a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio financial covenant; (iii) amendment of the revolving loan and term loan maturity dates from July 27, 2014 to December 15, 2013; and (iv) other customary terms and conditions.
	On March 8, 2013, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement.  The Third Amendment was intended for the following purposes:  (i) to amend the definition of EBITDA to permit adjustments for certain non-recurring transaction expenses and certain other non-cash expenses; (ii) to amend the required fixed charge coverage ratio for the rolling four fiscal quarter periods ending January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013 to 0.90x and 1.00x, respectively; (iii) to restrict the Company’s ability to enter into certain transactions without the prior written consent of Fifth Third, including, without limitation, certain change in control transactions, reclassifications, reorganizations and recapitalizations of the Company’s Common Stock; and (iv) to permit the Company to use the net cash proceeds from an equity raise transaction in excess of $1,500,000 for working capital or to prepay the outstanding principal balance under other debt obligations described below.  The Loan Agreement Amendment also contained Fifth Third Bank’s consent to the Company raising additional capital by selling and issuing additional equity securities, and waivers by Fifth Third of the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement that would otherwise have prohibited such a transaction, subject to certain terms and conditions.  All amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement were paid in full as of April 26, 2013 in connection with the Company’s entry into the Agreement with SVB, as described above.
	Sifen Note
	On November 28, 2012, the Company issued a Secured Non-Negotiable Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Sifen Note”) to Michael D. Sifen, Inc. (the “Holder”), an affiliate of an existing shareholder of the Company, in aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the 50 Below acquisition.  Interest accrued on the outstanding unpaid principal under the Sifen Note at a rate of 10.0% per annum.  Accrued interest only was payable quarterly commencing on February 28, 2013 and continuing until May 28, 2016, at which time all accrued interest and outstanding principal would be due and payable in full.  As partial consideration for the Sifen Note, the Company issued 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Holder valued at approximately $585,000, which was recorded as a reduction to long-term debt and was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note.  A portion of the outstanding balance on the Sifen Note was retired in March 2013 in connection with the Holder’s acquisition of Company common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement, described in Note 9, and the remaining balance on the Sifen Note was paid in full as of April 26, 2013.
	During fiscal 2013, the Company recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of primarily the Sifen Note and Fifth Third Bank debt totaling $682,000 related to unamortized deferred loan fees and debt discount.
	The following table sets forth certain information related to the Company’s long-term debt as of July 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):
		31-Jul			31-Jul

	5.     Business Combinations
	On November 1, 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of DUO Web Solutions (“DUO”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 1, 2013.  DUO was a leading provider of social media and online marketing services for the powersports industry, which is in line with the Company’s strategy to grow the digital marketing services side of the business.  The Company determined that the DUO assets acquired did not constitute a business that is “significant” as defined in the applicable SEC regulations, nor did it have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	On November 28, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the assets of the Retail Services Division of Fifty Below Sales & Marketing, Inc. (“50 Below”), a leading provider of eCommerce websites in the powersports, ATW and DME industries for a purchase price of $5,000,000 and the assumption of contracts having deferred revenue (ongoing service requirements for which ARI will not receive payment) valued in the amount of $4,601,000.  The Company did not assume any outstanding debtor-in-possession financing obligation; however, the Company agreed to: (a) cover claims held by certain employees against the estate of 50 Below, subject to a cap of $17,000; and (b) release any potential claim against 50 Below for alleged infringement of ARI’s intellectual property rights.
	The Company funded $1,500,000 of the purchase price through a combination of the Company’s operating cash flows and availability under its existing credit facilities, including a $900,000 earnest money payment made on October 29, 2012.  The balance of the purchase price was funded through the Sifen Note, which was discussed in Note 4.
	The following tables show the preliminary and adjusted allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):
					Purchase
					Price
			Cash		$	1,500
			Financed by note payable			3,500
			Assumed liabilities			4,601
			Purchase Price		$	9,601
					Purchase

			Developed technology			950
			Tradenames			130
			Customer Relationships			2,180
			Goodwill			6,226
			Purchase Price Allocation		$	9,601
	Intangible assets include the fair value of tradenames with a useful life of 2 years and customer relationships with a useful life of 15 years.  Goodwill of $6,226,000 represents the additional benefits provided to the Company by the acquisition of 50 Below through operational synergies.  The acquisition increased the Company’s portfolio of equipment dealer websites by 230% and is expected to accelerate ARI’s opportunity to drive organic growth through the cross‐selling of new products.  It also provided entry into new, high growth markets, including ATW and DME.  The combined customer benefits and operational efficiencies are expected to result in a stronger organization that can create more value for its customers, employees and shareholders than the sum of the stand‐alone business units.  The Company acquired approximately $7,000,000 of tax deductible goodwill related to the 50 Below acquisition.
	The following unaudited pro forma information for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 reflects the historical results of operations of both companies (in thousands), with pro forma adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, revenue enhancements or implementation costs that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for information purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company's and 50 Below's financial position or results of operations would have been had the acquisition in fact occurred on such date or at the beginning of the period indicated, nor does it project the Company's and 50 Below's financial position or results of operations for any future date or period.
		Revenue	$	33,304
		Net loss	$	-622
		Net loss per common share:
		Basic	$	-0.06
		Diluted	$	-0.06
	Pro forma adjustments to net income include amortization costs related to internally developed technology and intangible assets, acquisition-related professional fees, interest expense on the debt incurred to acquire the assets of 50 Below and the related debt discount, and the tax effect of the historical 50 Below results of operations and the pro forma adjustments at an estimated tax rate of 40% as follows (in thousands):
		Amortization of internally developed technology	$	35
		Amortization of intangible assets		68
		Acquisition-related professional fees		-790
		Interest expense		172
		Income tax benefit		-439
	On August 17, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ready2Ride, Incorporated (“Ready2Ride”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 17, 2012.  Ready2Ride markets aftermarket fitment data to the powersports industry, which furthers ARI’s differentiated content strategy and expands ARI’s product offerings into aftermarket PG&A.
	Consideration for the acquisition included $500,000 in cash, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and assumed liabilities totaling approximately $419,000,  a contingent hold-back purchase price of up to $250,000 and a contingent earn-out purchase price ranging from, in aggregate, $0 to $1,500,000.
	On October 22, 2013, the Company amended the Asset Purchase Agreement in relation to the earn-out payments as follows: (i) the first earn-out payment was composed of $125,000 paid in October 2013 and 10,000 shares of common stock issued in November 2013; (ii) the second earn-out payment is composed of $125,000 and 15,000 shares of common stock payable in September 2014; and (iii) the third earn-out payment is composed of $125,000 and 15,000 shares of common stock payable in September 2015.
	The contingent holdback and earn-out payable was initially measured at fair value on a recurring basis calculated using the present value of future estimated revenue over the next three years, which was originally estimated at $750,000.  Prior to the amendment, because the contingent earn-out payable had no comparable market data or significant observable inputs to determine fair value, it was classified as a Level 3 measurement.  Because the amended Asset Purchase Agreement defines the future payments based on cash and Company stock actively traded, and the payments are no longer contingent on future events, the earn-out is now classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement.  Unrealized gains and losses for changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
	The Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of the estimated contingent earn-out payable of approximately $67,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share as a result of the amendment during the twelve months ended July 31, 2014 and $180,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share during the twelve months ended July 31, 2013 as a result of a weighted average of three revenue projections for the remainder of the earn-out period.

Intangible assets consist primarily of customer contracts and relationships with an estimated useful life of 16 years.  Goodwill consists of operating synergies, vendor relationships, new sales territories and industries.  The Company incurred legal fees of $55,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 in connection with the Ready2Ride acquisition, which were included in general and administrative expense.  We have evaluated and determined that the Ready2Ride assets acquired as described above do not constitute a business that is “significant” as defined in the applicable SEC regulations.
The Company recorded additional goodwill of approximately $169,000 in fiscal 2014, primarily related to the DUO acquisition and $6,759,000 in fiscal 2013, related to the 50 Below and Ready2Ride acquisitions.
On September 30, 2014, we completed the acquisition of TCS, a leading provider of software, websites and marketing services designed exclusively for the automotive tire and wheel vertical.  We believe the TCS business will allow us to consolidate our leadership position and provide additional solution offerings in the automotive tire and wheel industry.  See Note 15 Subsequent Events for a description of the TCS acquisition and the related transactions.

	6.     Disposition of a Component of an Entity
	On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Globalrange Corporation (“Globalrange”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to Globalrange certain rights and assets relating to our electronic data interchange business for the agricultural chemicals industry (the “AgChem EDI Business”).  Because the AgChem EDI Business was not a separate entity or reportable segment, the transaction was recorded as a disposition of a component of an entity.
	As part of the purchase price for the AgChem EDI Business, Globalrange agreed to assume certain liabilities of ARI relating to the AgChem EDI Business, primarily consisting of unearned revenue (as defined in the Agreement).  Globalrange is making earn-out payments to ARI annually over a four-year period following the closing date, with an initial pre-payment of $80,000.  The amounts of such earn-out payments are determined based on collections received by Globalrange relating to the AgChem EDI Business during such period, and are subject to a floor and cap, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
	The contingent earn-out receivable is measured at fair value on a recurring basis calculated using the present value of future estimated revenue. Unrealized gains and losses for changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Because the contingent earn-out receivable has no comparable market data or significant observable inputs to determine fair value, it is classified as Level 3 measurement.  The primary factors used to determine the fair value include: (i) the estimated future revenue related to the business recognized by the buyer; and (ii) the estimated risk free interest rate of a market participant.  Increases in the estimated future revenue related to the business sold, which has the most impact on the fair value of the contingent earn-out receivable, would cause the fair value of the earn-out to increase.
	The amount of the earn-out receivable was originally estimated at $580,000 less an imputed discount of $97,000, based on the present value of the estimated earn-out payments (the “earn-out receivable”), discounted at 14%, which was the prevailing rate of interest charged on the Company’s debt at the time of the sale.  The discount is amortized to interest income, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income, over the life of the earn-out.
	An assessment of the expected future cash flows of the Earn-Out Receivable is performed annually in the third fiscal quarter based on historical receipts over the previous twelve month period.  Changes in estimate and cash received in excess of expected cash receipts are recorded as a gain or loss in other expense (income). The Company recorded a benefit of approximately $0 and $64,000 during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the expected future cash flows of the earn-out receivable.
	The remaining earn-out receivable totals $73,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2014, with estimated receivables as follows (in thousands):
		Total estimated current payments receivable	$	82
		Less imputed interest		-9

	8.     Capital and Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain furniture, leasehold improvements and equipment under capital lease arrangements with monthly payment terms ranging over 3 to 7 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%.  The Company recognized $69,000 and $0 of depreciation expense related to fixed assets under capital lease agreements during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company leases office space and certain office equipment under operating lease arrangements expiring through 2021. The Company is generally liable for its share of the landlord’s direct operating expenses and real estate taxes related to these leases. Total rental expense for the operating leases was $808,000 in fiscal 2014 and $801,000 in fiscal 2013.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the term of the lease.
	Rent expense for leased offices is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, which differs from the pattern of payments required by certain leases. Other accrued liabilities included $17,000 and $25,000 of deferred rent and other long term liabilities included $214,000 and $233,000 of deferred rent at July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	ARI leases approximately 16,300 square feet of office space located at 10850 West Park Place, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53224, which commenced on July 17, 2009 and expires on July 17, 2021.  Over the 12 year lease agreement, annual base rent, which is currently  $167,000, increases approximately 2.9% per year.  Rent abatement was negotiated for the first 15 months totaling approximately $187,000.  Annual projected operating costs and taxes, which are subject to change, are currently $9.49 per square foot. Leasehold improvements for the Milwaukee office are being depreciated over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years.
	In connection with the 5 year lease agreement for the Duluth office, the Company had leasehold improvements, which are being depreciated over the life of the lease.  The following table shows equipment and leasehold improvements with capital lease obligations (in thousands):

	10.     Stock-based Compensation Plans
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.
	Stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans vest 25% on July 31st in the year of grant and 25% on July 31st in each of the three following years.   Stock options granted to non-employees under the Company’s stock option plans vest 50% on July 31st in the year of grant and 50% on July 31st in the following year.  The Company recognizes stock option expense over the vesting period for each vesting tranche.
	As recognizing stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of recognized expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures based on the Company’s historical experience. Total stock compensation expense recognized by the Company was approximately $219,000 and $193,000 during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.  There was approximately $269,000 and $140,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures. There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs during the years ended July 31, 2014 or 2013.
	The following table shows the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted:
				Year ended July 31

		Expected life (years)			5.07 years				10 years

	2000 Stock Option Plan
	The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) had 1,950,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance.  Each incentive stock option that was granted under the 2000 Plan is exercisable for a period of not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of a participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company, unless the stock options are nonqualified), or such shorter period as determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall lapse upon the expiration of said period, or earlier upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company. The 2000 Plan expired on December 13, 2010, at which time it was terminated except for outstanding options.  While options previously granted under the 2000 Plan will continue to be effective through the remainder of their terms, no new options may be granted under the 2000 Plan.  Changes in option shares under the 2000 Plan during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are as follows:

	2010 Equity Incentive Plan
	The Board of Directors adopted the ARI Network Services, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2010 Plan”) on November 9, 2010.  The plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in December 2010, and amendments to the 2010 Plan were approved by the Company’s shareholders in January 2014.  The 2010 Plan is the successor to the Company’s 2000 Plan.  There are 1,850,000 shares of Company common stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan.  Potential awards under the 2010 Plan include incentive stock options (“ISOs’’) and non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs), and shares of common stock.  Up to 1,525,000 of the shares authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan may be used for common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards.
	The exercise price for options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise prices for options and stock appreciation rights cannot be repriced without shareholder approval, except to reflect changes to the capital structure of the Company as described in the 2010 Plan.  The maximum term of options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan is 10 years.  The 2010 Plan does not have liberal share counting provisions (such as provisions that would permit shares withheld for payment of taxes or the exercise price of stock options to be re-granted under the plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, (“ESPP”) has 575,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which 224,955 and 200,311 of the shares have been issued as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All employees with at least six months of service are eligible to participate. Shares may be purchased at the end of a specified period at the lower of 85% of the market value at the beginning or end of the specified period through accumulation of payroll deductions, not to exceed 5,000 shares per employee per year.
Long-Term Executive Bonus Plan
The Compensation Committee adopted the Long-Term Executive Bonus Plan (“LTEB”) for eligible executive officers of the Company effective beginning in fiscal 2013.  The amount of the award will be determined after the close of the fiscal year based on subjective performance criteria.  Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, awards will consist of (i) restricted stock based on a percentage of base salary and the number of shares granted will be based upon the closing price of the shares at the time the Committee determines the amount of the Award, which will be the same as the grant date of the restricted stock and (ii) cash to cover the minimum withholding taxes on the Award. The restricted stock will be granted under the ARI 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest in four installments, beginning on the date of issuance and the next three anniversaries of the date of issuance.  Awards under the LTEB are expensed over the requisite service period plus the vesting period.  The Company expensed $162,000 and $40,000 during fiscal 2014 and 2013 related to the LTEB. A portion of this expense relates to the amortization of restricted shares issued and expensed over their vesting period and a portion relates to bonus expense accrued, but unissued, recognized over the requisite service period.
Restricted Stock
Pursuant to the 2010 Plan, there are 1,525,000 shares authorized for issuance in the form of shares of common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units.  The Company grants restricted stock to its directors as an annual retainer, its officers under the LTEB and from time to time to directors, officers or employees as discretionary compensation in place of cash.  The Company recognized compensation expense, exclusive of amounts related to LTEB expense disclosed above, of $262,000 and $348,000 during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, related to restricted stock expensed over the vesting period.
The Compensation Committee has the ability, at its discretion, to grant restricted stock based on subjective factors as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate at its discretion and granted 18,000 of restricted shares with a market price of $1.25 on the date of grant, valued at $22,000 in October 2012 as a discretionary bonus. 4,500 shares vested immediately and the remaining 13,500 shares vest in equal amounts of 4,500 in October 2013, October 2014 and October 2015.  The Company expensed $8,000 and $4,000 in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Changes in unvested restricted shares of common stock under the 2010 Plan were as follows:

	The provision for income taxes is based on taxes payable under currently enacted tax laws and an analysis of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including various accruals, allowances, depreciation and amortization, and does not represent current taxes due.  The tax effect of these temporary differences and the estimated benefit from tax net operating losses are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.  We have unused net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") for federal income tax purposes, and as a result, we generally only incur alternative minimum taxes at the federal level.
	The Company also has NOLs related to tax losses incurred by its Netherlands operation.  Under tax laws in the Netherlands, NOLs are able to be carried forward for a period of nine years.  The Company has determined that, consistent with prior periods, it is not likely that the net operating losses will be utilized by the Company.  This conclusion was primarily based on the negative evidence of a history of losses and expired NOLs related to this entity.  In the opinion of the company, there is not enough positive evidence to overcome this negative evidence.  Therefore, a full valuation allowance of $717,000 and $649,000 are recorded, resulting in $0 net deferred tax assets related to the Netherlands operation at July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  In the current year, management reclassified the net deferred tax assets to show the gross deferred tax asset and related full valuation allowance.
	Significant components of our deferred tax liabilities and assets as of July 31 were as follows (in thousands):

	An assessment is performed semi-annually of the likelihood that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income.  To the extent management believes it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established.  This assessment is based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, in evaluating the likelihood of realizability.  Issues considered in the assessment include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimates of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards) and prudent tax planning strategies available in future periods.  Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as a valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term.  To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company recorded a benefit related to a net change in estimate on our valuation allowance related to US deferred tax assets of approximately $32,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, and $1,341,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, as a result of our evaluation of the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income.
	The gain recognized in fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the following:
		·	In fiscal 2014, we acquired a new business, which had a positive impact on our estimated future taxable income.
		·	We decreased our payroll expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of consolidating operations primarily in the publishing and support areas, which had a positive impact on our estimated future taxable income.
	The gain recognized in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to the following:
		·	In fiscal 2013, we achieved higher than estimated revenue growth, which had a positive impact on our estimated future taxable income.
		·	We acquired a new business on November 27, 2012, (described in Note 5), which we estimated would increase our taxable income over the period of forecasted NOL utilization.
		·	We acquired approximately $4.6 million of deferred revenue related to the afore-mentioned acquisition, which allowed us to utilize current year NOLs prior to expiration.
	A reconciliation between income tax expense and income taxes computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, the state rate of approximately 3% to U.S. based income(loss) before income taxes for the year ended July 31 is as follows (in thousands):

	We perform an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense on an annual basis.  We determined that ARI did not have any significant risk related to income tax expense and therefore no amounts were reserved for uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2014 and 2013.  We will accrue and recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense if it becomes necessary.  Fiscal years subsequent to 2010 remain open and subject to examination by state tax jurisdictions and the United States federal tax authorities.

	13.     Shareholders’ Equity
	On March 12, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) whereby the Company agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase (1) an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an amount equal to a per share purchase price of $1.50, and (2) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,066,667 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”).  The Warrants, which were issued pursuant to Common Stock Purchase Warrant agreements dated March 15, 2013 (the “Warrant Agreements”), were exercisable immediately upon issuance (with certain exceptions) at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.  Outstanding Warrants will expire on March 15, 2018.  In addition to such issuances, on March 15, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to purchase in the aggregate 64,000 shares of common stock to Ascendiant Capital Partners, LLC and the Ascendiant Affiliate (“Ascendiant”) on the same terms as the Warrant Agreements described above pursuant to the terms of the Company’s placement agency arrangement with Ascendiant.
	In connection with the transaction, the Company received gross cash proceeds of $4,500,000 and retirement of $300,000 of indebtedness under the Sifen Note.  The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants, were completed on March 15, 2013.
	On July 26, 2013 and July 29, 2013, the Warrant Agreements between the Company and the holders of 916,667 of the Warrants were amended to temporarily reduce the exercise price of the Warrants from $2.00 per share to $1.80 per share through the close of business on July 30, 2013.  All 916,667 of the amended Warrants were exercised at $1.80 per share on July 30, 2013. The Company recorded a charge of $77,000 related to the decrease in exercise price. There were 214,000 Warrants outstanding with a strike price of $2.00 per share included in additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2014 and as a liability in common stock warrants with a fair value of $254,000 at July 31, 2013.
	Fair Value of Warrants
	The Warrant Agreements included a down-round protection feature which reduces the strike price of the Warrants from $2.00 to $1.50 if there is a private placement for less than the $2.00 strike price, which resulted in the Warrants being treated as a derivative instrument. The Warrants were recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value during the periods where the down-round protective feature was active.  Changes in fair value were recorded to gain or loss on change in fair value of stock warrants on the consolidated statement of operations.  The down-round protection feature expired on June 20, 2014, at which time the remaining balance of Warrants outstanding no longer had  a derivative feature and was reclassified to equity.
	Because the Warrants had no comparable market data to determine fair value, the Company hired an independent valuation firm to value the Warrants at the estimated 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 using an open form simulation model.  The primary factors used to determine the fair value included: (i) the fair value of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the volatility of the Company’s common stock; (iii) the risk free interest rate; (iv) the estimated likelihood and timing of exercise; and (v) the estimated likelihood and timing of a future financing arrangement.  Increases in the market value of the Company’s common stock and volatility, which have the most impact on the fair value of the Warrants, caused the fair value of the Warrants to increase.  Because of the significant unobservable inputs used to calculate fair value, the Warrants were classified as Level 3 inputs.
	The Warrants were measured at fair value on a recurring basis with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.  In fiscal 2014 and 2013, we incurred losses of $28,000 and $635,000, respectively, related to the Warrants primarily as a result of an increase in the market value of the Company’s common stock.  The following table shows changes to the Warrants while classified as a liability, during fiscal 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

	Acquisition of Tire Company Solutions, LLC
	On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Tire Company Solutions, LLC ("TCS"), a leading provider of software, websites and digital marketing services designed exclusively for dealers, wholesalers, retreaders and manufacturers within the automotive tire and wheel industries.  Consideration for the acquisition (the "Company Purchase Price") included, (1) a cash payment equal to $4,200,000; (2) 618,744 shares of the Company's common stock,  $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"); (3) the issuance of two promissory notes (“the Notes”) in aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to the former owners of TCS; and (4) a contingent earn-out purchase price payable in three potential payments and contingent upon the attainment of specific revenue goals.  The earn-out does not have an upper range, however, the payout at 100% per the asset purchase agreement is $933,000.  The purchase price will be adjusted based on the net asset value on the closing balance sheet being above or below the targeted amount of $350,000.
	The Notes initially will accrue interest on the outstanding unpaid principal balance at a rate per annum equal to 5%; however, if any amount payable under a Note is not paid when due, such overdue amount will bear interest at the default rate of 7.5% from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full. Accrued interest on the Notes will be due and payable quarterly commencing on December 29, 2014 and continuing on each 90th calendar day thereafter, until September 30, 2018, at which time all accrued interest and outstanding principal balance will be due and payable in full. The first four payments due and payable under the Notes will be interest only payments, and payments of principal and interest shall not commence until the payment due on December 29, 2015. The payments are subject to acceleration upon certain Events of Default, as defined in the Notes.
	The acquisition was funded from cash on hand, an increase in our term loan and funds available on our revolving credit facility (see more discussion on the term loan modification below).  Due to the timing of the acquisition, the opening balance sheet and pro-forma information is not complete as of the date of this report.
	Loan Modification
	On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into the First Loan Modification Agreement, dated September 30, 2014, by and among SVB and the Company (the "Modification Agreement"). The Modification Agreement amends the Agreement with SVB dated April 26, 2013.
	The Modification Agreement includes credit facilities consisting of $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of September 30, 2016 and a $6,050,000 term loan with a maturity date of September 30, 2019.  This term loan is an amendment to the existing $4,500,000 term loan with an original maturity date of April 26, 2018.
	The term loan and any loans made under the SVB revolving credit facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans set forth in the chart below determined based on the Total Leverage Ratio.
		Applicable Margin
	Total Leverage Ratio	for Prime Rate Loans
	>=/font>2.50 to 1.0:		1.50	%
	>  1.75 to 1.00 but <2.50 to 1.00:		1.00	%
	<=/font>1.75 to 1.00:		0.50	%
	Principal in respect of any loans made under the revolving facility is required to be paid in its entirety on or before September 30, 2016.  Principal in respect of the term loan is required to be paid in quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Company as follows:  $151,250 commenced on November 1, 2014 through August 1, 2016; $226,875 commencing on November 1, 2016 through August 1, 2017; and $302,500 commencing on November 1, 2017 through August 1, 2019.  All remaining principal in respect of the term loan is due and payable on September 30, 2019.  The Company is permitted to prepay all of, but not less than all of, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan upon certain notice to SVB and, in certain circumstances, the payment of a prepayment penalty of up to $121,000.  Following July 31, 2015 the Modification agreement requires the Company to make additional payments in the amount of 25% of excess cash flow until the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00.
	The Modification Agreement contains covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain conditions, the ability of the Company to permit a change of control, incur debt, create liens on its assets, make certain investments, enter into merger or acquisition transactions and make distributions to its shareholders. Financial covenants include the maintenance of a minimum Total Leverage Ratio equal to or less than 3.25 to 1.00 through the period ending October 31, 2014 and 3.00 to 1:00 thereafter, and the maintenance of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement) equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.00. The Agreement also contains customary events of default that, if triggered, could result in an acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement.  The loans are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.

Basis Of Presentation	'
	We were incorporated in Wisconsin in 1981.  Our principal executive office and headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The office address is 10850 West Park Place, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, WI 53224, and our telephone number at that location is (414) 973-4300. Our principal website address is www.arinet.com.  ARI also maintains operations in Duluth, Minnesota; Cypress, California; Floyds Knobs, Indiana; and Leiden, The Netherlands.
	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of ARI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARI Europe B.V and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  We eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal Year
	Our fiscal year ends on July 31. References to fiscal 2014, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, and references to fiscal 2013 refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in the Netherlands is the Euro; accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange existing at the end of the period, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates during the period and expensed to other income (expense).  Adjustments resulting from the re-measurement of the consolidated financial statements into the reporting currency are charged or credited to comprehensive income (loss).
Use Of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers capitalization and amortization of software product costs, valuation of intangible assets, allowance for bad debt, contingent liabilities for anticipated future earn-out payments related to the acquisition of a business, valuation of stock-based compensation, the deferred tax valuation allowance and the fair value of common stock warrants to be significant estimates that are subject to change in the near term.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues from subscription fees for use of our software, access to our catalog content, and software maintenance and support fees are all recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. ARI considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months not to be fixed or determinable and evaluates other arrangements with payment terms longer than normal to determine whether the arrangement is fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Arrangements that include acceptance terms beyond the standard terms are not recognized until acceptance has occurred. If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
	Revenues for professional services to customize complex features and functionality in a product’s base software code or develop complex interfaces within a customer’s environment are recognized as the services are performed.  When the current estimates of total contract revenue for professional services and the total related costs indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period the amount is determined.  Professional services revenue for set-up and integration of hosted websites, or other services considered essential to the functionality of other elements of this type of arrangement, is amortized over the term of the contract.
	Revenue for variable transaction fees, primarily for use of the shopping cart feature of our websites, is recognized as it is earned.
	Amounts received for shipping and handling fees are reflected in revenue.  Costs incurred for shipping and handling are reported in cost of revenue.
	Amounts invoiced to customers prior to recognition as revenue, as discussed above, are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as deferred revenue.
	No single customer accounted for 10% or more of ARI’s revenue in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.
Trade Receivables, Credit Policy And Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	'
	Trade Receivables, Credit Policy and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due on normal trade terms, most of which require payment within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
	The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected.  The allowance for potential doubtful accounts is reflected as an offset to trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.
Work In Process	'
	Work in Process
	Work in process consists of services provided by the Company, for which revenue was recognized and billing is done in arrears and have not been invoiced as of the end of the reporting period.
Equipment And Leasehold Improvements	'
	Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
	Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. The Company developed tools for internal use related to the publication of catalog data and network software related to hosting our customer products which are included in computer equipment and software for internal use of which $29,000 and $60,000 were capitalized during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization are computed under the straight-line method for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful lives of the assets or the term of the related lease agreement, whichever is shorter.  Depreciation and amortization is expensed over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
		Computer equipment and software for internal use	3 – 7 years
		Leasehold improvements	2 – 7 years
		Furniture and equipment	3 – 5 years
Capitalized And Purchased Software Product Costs	'
	Capitalized and Purchased Software Product Costs
	Certain software development and acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Capitalization of these costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the on-going assessment of recoverability of software costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, the determination of technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.
	The annual amortization of software products is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product which currently runs from two to nine years. Amortization starts when the product is available for general release to customers.  The Company capitalizes software enhancements on an on-going basis and all other software development and support expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts	'
	Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts
	Fees associated with securing debt are capitalized and included in prepaid expense and other and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  Common stock issued in connection with securing debt is recorded to debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the debt on the consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred loan fees and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
	The Company capitalized loan fees of approximately $3,000 and $319,000, respectively, during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 for closing costs associated with the line of credit and long-term debt agreements, described in Note 4, of which approximately $28,000 and $112,000, respectively, was amortized to interest expense in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.  Approximately $144,000 of deferred finance costs related to debt which was paid early was charged to loss on debt extinguishment in fiscal 2013. At July 31, 2014, we had unamortized deferred loan fees of $98,000, of which $72,000 was included in other long-term assets and $26,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet.  At July 31, 2013, we had unamortized deferred loan fees of $123,000, of which $97,000 was included in other long term assets and $26,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet.
	The Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $585,000 during fiscal 2013 related to common stock issued in connection with incurred debt described in Note 4, of which approximately $47,000 was amortized to interest expense and the remaining $538,000 was charged to loss on debt extinguishment when the loan was paid off prior to maturity.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	In accordance with GAAP, long-lived assets, including capitalized software product costs, property and equipment, and amortized intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.  Such analyses necessarily involve judgment.  During fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of equipment and leasehold improvements with a cost basis of $1,161,000, recognizing a net loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $35,000 or $0.00 per share primarily related to the closing of the Virginia office and the transition to a new telephone system.  During fiscal 2013, the Company disposed of equipment and leasehold improvements with a cost basis of $420,000, recognizing a net loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $420,000 or $0.04 per share related to development of an internal ERP system.
Fair Value Assets and Liabilities	'
	Fair Value Assets and Liabilities
	ARI uses the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.  The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Common Stock Warrants	'
	Common Stock Warrants
	ARI periodically issues common stock warrants in connection with debt and equity financing arrangements.  The terms of the agreements are assessed to determine whether the instrument qualifies as an equity arrangement or a debt arrangement.  Arrangements determined to be derivatives are recorded at fair value as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, with periodic gains and losses related to the change in fair value recorded to earnings on the consolidated statement of operations.  We recorded a loss on the change in fair value of $28,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share and $635,000 or $0.06 per basic and diluted share during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to changes in market price of the Company’s common stock.

	GAAP requires that we assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances warrant a review.  Certain triggering events that may warrant a more frequent impairment test include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.  We tested for goodwill impairment at July 31, 2014 and 2013.
	We test goodwill for impairment using a two-step process, as prescribed by GAAP. The first step of the test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	We determined there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests.  We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using various valuation techniques, with the primary techniques being a market captalization test and a discounted cash flow analysis. There are many estimates and assumptions involved in preparing a discounted cash flow analysis, including most significantly the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) used to discount future cash flows, anticipated long-term growth rates, and future profit margins.  Management uses its best efforts to reasonably estimate all of these and other inputs in the cash flow models utilized.  We estimated future cash flows using multiple forecast scenarios and management used its judgment to assign a weighting to each scenario.  Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test indicated that goodwill was not impaired in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.  As a result, step 2 of the test was not performed.
Deferred Income Taxes	'
	Deferred Income Taxes
	The tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the estimated tax benefit from tax net operating losses is reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. An assessment of the likelihood that net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income is performed at each reporting date or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a change in the valuation allowance. Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	ARI uses the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in our results of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, which were estimated based on our historical experience.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs
	Advertising costs, which are included in sales and marketing expense on the consolidated statement of operations, are expensed as incurred.  Total advertising costs were $131,000 and $171,000 in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of financial information that has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). We reported comprehensive income (loss), which includes net income(loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and shareholders’ equity for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.
Legal Provisions	'
	Legal Provisions
	ARI is periodically involved in legal proceedings arising from contracts, patents or other matters in the normal course of business. We reserve for any material estimated losses if the outcome is probable and reasonably estimatable, in accordance with GAAP.   We had no legal provisions in fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
	The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards during fiscal 2014 that have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]	'
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	'
	10.     Stock-based Compensation Plans
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.
	Stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans vest 25% on July 31st in the year of grant and 25% on July 31st in each of the three following years.   Stock options granted to non-employees under the Company’s stock option plans vest 50% on July 31st in the year of grant and 50% on July 31st in the following year.  The Company recognizes stock option expense over the vesting period for each vesting tranche.
	As recognizing stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of recognized expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures based on the Company’s historical experience. Total stock compensation expense recognized by the Company was approximately $219,000 and $193,000 during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.  There was approximately $269,000 and $140,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures. There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs during the years ended July 31, 2014 or 2013.

	2000 Stock Option Plan
	The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) had 1,950,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance.  Each incentive stock option that was granted under the 2000 Plan is exercisable for a period of not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of a participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company, unless the stock options are nonqualified), or such shorter period as determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall lapse upon the expiration of said period, or earlier upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company. The 2000 Plan expired on December 13, 2010, at which time it was terminated except for outstanding options.  While options previously granted under the 2000 Plan will continue to be effective through the remainder of their terms, no new options may be granted under the 2000 Plan.  Changes in option shares under the 2000 Plan during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are as follows:

	2010 Equity Incentive Plan
	The Board of Directors adopted the ARI Network Services, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2010 Plan”) on November 9, 2010.  The plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in December 2010, and amendments to the 2010 Plan were approved by the Company’s shareholders in January 2014.  The 2010 Plan is the successor to the Company’s 2000 Plan.  There are 1,850,000 shares of Company common stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan.  Potential awards under the 2010 Plan include incentive stock options (“ISOs’’) and non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs), and shares of common stock.  Up to 1,525,000 of the shares authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan may be used for common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards.
	The exercise price for options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise prices for options and stock appreciation rights cannot be repriced without shareholder approval, except to reflect changes to the capital structure of the Company as described in the 2010 Plan.  The maximum term of options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan is 10 years.  The 2010 Plan does not have liberal share counting provisions (such as provisions that would permit shares withheld for payment of taxes or the exercise price of stock options to be re-granted under the plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, (“ESPP”) has 575,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which 224,955 and 200,311 of the shares have been issued as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All employees with at least six months of service are eligible to participate. Shares may be purchased at the end of a specified period at the lower of 85% of the market value at the beginning or end of the specified period through accumulation of payroll deductions, not to exceed 5,000 shares per employee per year.
Long-Term Executive Bonus Plan
The Compensation Committee adopted the Long-Term Executive Bonus Plan (“LTEB”) for eligible executive officers of the Company effective beginning in fiscal 2013.  The amount of the award will be determined after the close of the fiscal year based on subjective performance criteria.  Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, awards will consist of (i) restricted stock based on a percentage of base salary and the number of shares granted will be based upon the closing price of the shares at the time the Committee determines the amount of the Award, which will be the same as the grant date of the restricted stock and (ii) cash to cover the minimum withholding taxes on the Award. The restricted stock will be granted under the ARI 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest in four installments, beginning on the date of issuance and the next three anniversaries of the date of issuance.  Awards under the LTEB are expensed over the requisite service period plus the vesting period.  The Company expensed $162,000 and $40,000 during fiscal 2014 and 2013 related to the LTEB. A portion of this expense relates to the amortization of restricted shares issued and expensed over their vesting period and a portion relates to bonus expense accrued, but unissued, recognized over the requisite service period.
Restricted Stock
Pursuant to the 2010 Plan, there are 1,525,000 shares authorized for issuance in the form of shares of common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units.  The Company grants restricted stock to its directors as an annual retainer, its officers under the LTEB and from time to time to directors, officers or employees as discretionary compensation in place of cash.  The Company recognized compensation expense, exclusive of amounts related to LTEB expense disclosed above, of $262,000 and $348,000 during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, related to restricted stock expensed over the vesting period.
The Compensation Committee has the ability, at its discretion, to grant restricted stock based on subjective factors as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate at its discretion and granted 18,000 of restricted shares with a market price of $1.25 on the date of grant, valued at $22,000 in October 2012 as a discretionary bonus. 4,500 shares vested immediately and the remaining 13,500 shares vest in equal amounts of 4,500 in October 2013, October 2014 and October 2015.  The Company expensed $8,000 and $4,000 in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
