Chief Executive Officer’s Review
Financial Performance
During the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2013, we continued to progressively realize the benefits expected to result from the October 2012 reorganization of our sales force to better focus its resources, improve its execution and productivity, increase the number of mid-sized software license transactions and reduce our reliance on large, seven figure sales.
Non-IFRS software license revenues increased 30.0% to $32.6 million, and for the six months increased 23.9% to $58.5 million, and non-IFRS total revenues increased 20.7% to $77.0 million, and for the six months increased 16.6% to $144.5 million.
During these periods we closed an increasing number of mid-sized software license transactions, as outlined below:
Quarter | Six Months | |||||||||||
FY13 | FY14 | FY13 | FY14 | |||||||||
Sales > $100,000 | 32 | 50 | 70 | 85 | ||||||||
Sales > $1 million | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||||||||
The second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2013 once again included two of the largest sales in the history of the Company. One was for $7.6 million to a U.S. government agency during the first quarter, and another for $3.7 million to a major global insurance company based in the U.S. during the second quarter.
We were very pleased with the "legacy capture” software license revenue growth rate, and we continued to realize significantly faster growth in the "mobile and new or acquired products” portion of our business. Legacy capture software license revenue increased 17.7%, and mobile and new or acquired products increased 107.4%, and for the six months 13.0% and 100.8%, respectively, on a non-IFRS basis. Part of the mobile and new or acquired products software license revenue growth was attributable to the contributions of the Altosoft and Kapow acquisitions during calendar year 2013, but it was nonetheless impressive without that effect, and bookings in this part of our business were even stronger.
During the second quarter we closed a $1.25 million smart process application software license sale to a major global financial services company based in Western Europe that we believe will be delivered and recognized as revenue during the current quarter ending March 31, 2014. This solution is being built on Kofax Total Agility 7.0, so this sale is an early and very positive indicator of this exciting new product’s market potential.
In addition, during January 2014 we closed a $950K mobile software license sale to one of the five largest U.S. based banks, which included the recently announced Kofax Mobile Capture Platform, and frameworks for Mobile Bill Pay and Mobile Check Deposit apps.
While the increased number of mid-sized software license transactions and both "legacy capture” and "mobile and new or acquired products” software license revenue growth rates are encouraging, we cannot guarantee that these metrics will continually improve on a sequential quarter over quarter basis. We therefore caution readers to consider and evaluate these metrics on the basis of longer term trends rather than variations arising from a single quarter’s results.
As a result of this revenue growth and prudently managing our operating expenses, non- IFRS adjusted EBITDA increased 29.1% to $13.0 million or a 16.8% margin, and for the six months increased 30.3% to $21.3 million or a 14.7% margin.
We ended the second quarter with cash of $81.2 million and reported adjusted cash generated from operations of $3.9 million for the quarter and $23.7 million for the six months. In addition, our existing, undrawn $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility with Bank of America Merrill Lynch remains available and has been extended to June 30, 2016.
During the second quarter we also implemented the corporate structure changes to create a new parent corporation for Kofax, which continues to maintain a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange, and we listed on NASDAQ effective as of December 5, 2013 through the offering of 2.3 million new common shares. All Kofax common shares now trade on and between both exchanges, and this has to date resulted in a higher share price and increased trading volumes and liquidity in our common shares. Following the NASDAQ listing, we were pleased to see two full service securities brokerage firms based in the U.S. initiate financial analyst coverage on the Company. We expect additional U.S. firms to initiate coverage during fiscal year 2014.
As a result of the foregoing, our balance sheet remains strong, we have the resources needed to fund organic revenue growth while executing our acquisition strategy and we have access to the world’s leading financial markets for technology companies.
Changes in currency exchange rates did not have a material effect on our financial performance during the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2013.
All of the foregoing was in line with our expectations for the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2013. In light of these results and financial position, we remain confident in our business and optimistic about our future.
Operating Highlights
Our investments in research and development allowed us to successfully launch a number of new software products and solutions during the second quarter, including:
- Kofax TotalAgility™ 7.0, which the Company believes is the first unified platform for the development and deployment of smart process applications and has been well received to date
- Kofax AP Automation, which can be used with any accounting or ERP system and offers "out-of-the-box” integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX, Kofax Mailroom Automation and Kofax Customer Onboarding solutions, all built on the Kofax TotalAgility 7.0 platform
- An update to Kofax Medical Claims Add-on Pack to support Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regulations related to the Affordable Care Act taking effect in January 2014
- Kapow Enterprise 9.3, which features a redesigned interface to simplify the user experience and encompass the entire information supply chain from data acquisition to enrichment, persistence, exploration and distribution
These investments also resulted in the issuance of an extension to Kofax’s patent number 8,345,981 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This covers reverse matching technology to determine the validity of data extracted from documents captured using a mobile device and correcting erroneous or suspicious data, thus ensuring its accuracy.
During the second quarter we were also pleased to continue receiving widespread recognition for our software products and solutions, including:
- DM Magazine recognized Kofax TotalAgility as a Product of the Year in its 2013 Document Manager Awards
- Mortgage banking executives selected Kofax Mobile Capture™ for Mortgage Banking Magazine’s 2013 "Harnessing Mobile Award”
- Attendees at FinovateAsia 2013 in Singapore voted Kofax Mobile Capture Best of Show
- Database Trends and Applications Magazine named Kapow Enterprise 9.3 as a Trendsetting Product of 2014
- The Analyst One web site included Kapow’s platform on its list of 24 breakthrough technologies every analyst should be aware of
Finally, we welcomed Grant Johnson as our new Chief Marketing Officer, who brings extensive and very relevant global senior management and enterprise software marketing experience to Kofax.
Guidance
We’re pleased with our performance during the second quarter and first half of this fiscal year, which was in line with our expectations for those periods as well as our previous revenue growth guidance for fiscal year 2014. We continue to invest in strengthening and growing our sales organization and expanding our research and development efforts in order to drive faster software license revenue growth in the future. We also continue to realize improved sales execution across all geographies and product lines, including our legacy capture as well as mobile and new or acquired product offerings in the faster growing segments of our target markets, and the introduction of additional new product and solution offerings. We’re therefore sufficiently confident in our outlook to reaffirm our previous revenue growth guidance and now provide adjusted EBITDA margin guidance for fiscal year 2014 on a constant currency basis as follows:
|
IFRS | Non-IFRS | ||||||
Software License Revenue Growth | Low Double Digits | Mid to High Teens | ||||||
Total Revenues Growth | Mid to High Single Digits | Low Double Digits | ||||||
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 12.5 – 13.5% | 14.5 – 15.5% |
Non-IFRS guidance does not reflect the write off of substantially all of the deferred revenues of acquired companies as of their acquisition dates as a result of IFRS purchase accounting guidelines.
Thank You
Our performance is the direct result of the dedication and hard work of our valued employees, indirect channel partners and suppliers, and the continued support of our customers and shareholders. I would like to once again use this opportunity to sincerely thank all of these stakeholders for their on-going contributions to our success.

Chief Financial Officer’s Review
The first half of fiscal year 2014 continued the trends which began to emerge in the second half of the fiscal year 2013. For both the three months and six months ended December 31, 2013, we generated growth in every revenue line item and every geography. We expanded our sales organization, particularly the number of quota carrying sales reps, as well as invested in our product development organization both, of which position us for continued growth. We significantly enhanced our product set with the acquisition of Kapow in July and the introduction of Kofax Total AgilityTM 7.0 in October. Finally, we strengthened our balance sheet with the extension of our $40.0 million revolving line of credit, and increased the liquidity in our shares and enhanced shareholder value when we completed our NASDAQ listing on December 5, 2013. On December 5, 2013, Kofax (U.K.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kofax (Bermuda). Kofax (Bermuda) was incorporated solely for this purpose. The scheme of arrangement will have no effect on the manner in which our business is conducted and the results continue to present the results of the Group applying the appropriate accounting principles.
There are a couple of items I want to note before continuing with my review. First, we are and in the future will be providing three month and year-to-date financial information and statements. Second, with the exception of the section titled "Discussion of Non-IFRS Measures”, the Chief Financial Officer’s refers to IFRS financial measures.

Software license revenues increased $5.4 million, or 21.4%, in the three months ended December 31, 2013, due to a $3.8 million increase in our legacy capture products and a $1.6 million increase in mobile and new or acquired products. Software license revenues increased $3.1 million in Americas, $1.4 million in EMEA, and $0.9 million in Asia Pacific.
Software license revenues increased $7.7 million, or 16.3%, in the six months ended December 31, 2013, due to a $5.5 million increase in our legacy capture products and a $2.4 million increase in our mobile and new or acquired products. Software license revenues increased $4.9 million in Americas, $2.1 million in EMEA, and $0.7 million in Asia Pacific.
Maintenance services revenue increased $2.7 million, or 8.7%, in the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to an increase of $1.3 million or 8.4% in the Americas and $1.5 million or 11.6% in EMEA offset by a decrease of $0.1 million or 6.7% in Asia Pacific. In the six months ended December 31, 2013, maintenance services revenue increased $4.9 million, or 8.1%, due to an increase of a $2.5 million or 8.2% in the America and $2.8 million or 10.8% in EMEA offset by a decrease of $0.4 million or 9.3% in Asia Pacific. The increase in maintenance services revenue is primarily due to continued high maintenance contract renewal rates and the expansion of our installed base from prior quarter software license sales and to a lesser extent, maintenance revenues from our acquisition of Kapow and Altosoft.
Professional services revenue increased $2.3 million, or 29.1%, in the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to an increase of $2.4 million or 64.8% in the Americas offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in EMEA and Asia Pacific or a 1.1% and 11.5% decrease, respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2013, professional services revenue increased $3.0 million, or 18.9%, due to an increase of $4.4 million or 60.5% in the Americas offset by a decrease of $1.1 million or 15.0% in EMEA and $0.3 million or 14.5% in Asia Pacific. The increase in professional services revenue is primarily due to incremental professional services arrangements from our acquisition of Kapow as well as several large capture projects in the Americas.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Software Licenses
Cost of software licenses primarily consists of royalties to third-party software developers as well as personnel costs related to the distribution of our software licenses and associated costs such as facilities and related overhead charges.
The following table reflects cost of software license revenues, in dollars and as a percentage of software license revenues:

% of software license revenues | 10.0% | 9.2% | 10.4% | 10.0% | ||||||||||||
Cost of software licenses increased by $0.7 million, or 32.0%, in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $1.0 million, or 20.3%, in the six months ended December 31, 2013 which is generally the result of increases in software license revenues as well as a shift to more royalty bearing products. Royalty costs vary by product, as applicable, and accordingly, the cost of software licenses as a percentage of the software license revenues can fluctuate based on the mix of software licenses sold.
Cost of Maintenance Services
Cost of maintenance services primarily consists of personnel costs for our staff who respond to customer inquiries as well as associated costs such as facilities and related overhead charges.

Increased income tax expense was the result of greater income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2012. Effective tax rates decreased, due to the relatively disproportionate effect of significant expenses during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 that are not deductible for tax purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have financed our business primarily through our cash on hand as well as cash flows from operations. We had $81.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013, compared to $93.4 million at June 30, 2013. The majority of our cash is held in U.S. dollars, Euros and to a lesser extent, British Pounds. We had no outstanding debt as of June 30, 2013. On October 14, 2013, the Company extended its $40.0 million revolving line of credit to June 30, 2016. Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the credit facility can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros and certain other currencies, can be made in the US and certain other countries and can be increased by an additional $10.0 million. The credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. As of December 31, 2013, we had $39.5 million available under this revolving credit facility, as $0.5 million is used to guarantee letters of credit in certain operating facilities and payroll services.

That decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million increase in cash paid for taxes in the quarter.
Net cash generated from operating activities was $18.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $9.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $9.0 million. That increase was primarily attributable to a $12.5 million increase in deferred revenue offset by a $3.7 million decrease in provisions and other assets.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $3.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012, a decreased use of cash of $1.0 million. The primary use of cash in the current period was a $0.8 million in payment associated with our acquisition of Atalasoft and $0.5 million in purchases of fixed assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $43.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $5.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012, an increased use of $38.2 million. The primary use of cash in the current period was a $40.3 million payment associated with our acquisition of Kapow, $0.7 million deferred consideration payment for the Altosoft acquisition, and $1.1 million earnout payment for the Atalasoft acquisition. Additionally, we purchased $2.0 million of fixed assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash generated from financing activities was $11.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to net cash used of $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012 an increase of $12.5 million due primarily to $12.4 in net proceeds from our NASDAQ listing.
Net cash generated from financing activities was $11.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $0.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2012 an increase of $11.2 million due primarily to $12.4 million in net proceeds from NASDAQ listing offset by decreases of $0.6 million from net purchases of employee benefit shares and proceeds from option exercises, issuance of share capital and interest paid.
Exchange Rate Effects
We operate in many countries around the world, and maintain cash balances in locations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In the three months ended December 31, 2013 cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.2 million due to changes in foreign exchange rate, while during the three months ended December 31, 2012 our cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.1 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2013 cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.0 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates, while during the six months ended December 31, 2012 our cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.2 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates, as we maintained more cash on hand in U.S. dollars this period. Our cash and cash equivalents will continue to fluctuate in the future, as foreign currency exchange rates vary over time.
Treasury Management
On October 14, 2013, the Company extended the term of its $40.0 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America Merrill Lynch to June 30, 2016. Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the credit facility can be denominated in U.S. dollars, euros and certain other currencies and can be made in the U.S. and certain other countries. The credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, is secured by certain assets of the Company and can be increased by an additional $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2013 $39.5 million was available as $0.5 million has been used to guarantee letters of credit in certain operating facilities and payroll services.
The Company has significant overseas subsidiaries, which operate principally in their local currencies. Where appropriate, intra group borrowings are arranged in functional currencies of the borrower to centralize the foreign exchange impact and provide a natural hedge against exchange rate movement risks.
The Company hedges certain foreign currency cash and cash flows relating to transactions in accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Assessment of the credit risk profile of the Company’s key customers and resellers is centralized for increased focus.
Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
Management uses financial measures, both IFRS and non-IFRS, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for making operational decisions. We have provided and believe that the non-IFRS financial measures and supplemental reconciliation to IFRS financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements because the non-IFRS financial measures may be used as additional tools to compare business performance across peer companies, periods and financial markets.
While we use non-IFRS measures as a tool to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that these non-IFRS measures are a substitute for, or are superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of non-IFRS measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS measures as compared to IFRS results are that non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that non-IFRS measures may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing disclosure of the differences between non-IFRS measures and IFRS results, including providing a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to IFRS results, in order to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our operating results.
Non-IFRS Revenues - We define Non-IFRS revenue as revenue, as reported under IFRS, increased to include revenue that is associated with our historic acquisitions that has been excluded from reported results for a given period due to the effects of purchase accounting. In accordance with IFRS purchase accounting, an acquired company’s deferred revenue at the date of acquisition is subject to a fair value adjustment which reduces the deferred amount and revenues recognized subsequent to an acquisition. We include Non-IFRS revenue to allow for more complete comparisons to the financial results of our historical operations, forward-looking guidance and the financial results of peer companies. We believe these adjustments are useful to management and investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. Additionally, although acquisition related revenue adjustments are non-recurring we may incur similar adjustments in connection with any future acquisitions. The tables below provide a reconciliation of IFRS revenues to Non-IFRS revenues related to all of our historic acquisitions:

Non-IFRS Income from Operations - We define Non-IFRS income from operations as income from operations, as reported under IFRS, excluding the effect of acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, share-based payment expense, depreciation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs and other operating expense, net. Share-based payment expense, depreciation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets in our Non-IFRS income from operations reconciliation represent non-cash charges which are not considered by management in evaluating our operating performance. Acquisition-related costs consist of: (i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii) transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees, as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made redundant). These acquisition-related costs are not considered to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. Restructuring costs are not considered in assessing our performance as we have not generally incurred such costs for our continuing operations. Other operating expense, net represents items that are not necessarily related to our recurring operations and which therefore are not, under IFRS, included in other expense lines. Accordingly, we exclude those amounts when assessing Non-IFRS income from operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, analysts and other parties we refer to Non-IFRS income from operations as adjusted EBITDA.
We assess Non-IFRS income from operations as a percentage of total Non-IFRS revenues and by doing so; we are able to evaluate our relative performance of our revenue growth compared to the expense growth for those items included in Non-IFRS income from operations. This measure allows management and our Board of Directors to compare our performance against that of other companies in our industry that may be of different sizes.
The following table provides a reconciliation of IFRS income from operations to Non-IFRS income from operations and presents Non-IFRS income from operations as a percentage of total revenues.

Adjusted Cash Flows from Operations - We define Adjusted cash flows from operations as net cash inflows from operating activities, as reported under IFRS, adjusted for income taxes paid or refunded and payments under restructurings. Income taxes paid is included in this reconciliation as the timing of cash payments and receipts can vary significantly from year-to-year based on a number of factors, including the influence of acquisitions on our consolidated tax attributes. Payments for restructurings relate to a specific activity that is not part of ongoing operations.

The most comparable IFRS metrics, ‘income (loss) from continuing operations, after tax’ and ‘earnings per share – diluted’, also include the reconciling items finance income (expense), net, and the impacts of income taxes on each of the other reconciling items. Therefore, we include this non-IFRS measure in order to provide a more complete comparison of our earnings per share from one period to another.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of our Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and our associated Non-IFRS income (loss) from continuing operations, after tax:

Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. In connection with this presentation, the Board has reviewed the Company's forecasts and budgets, borrowing facilities, plans and various other analyses to determine the level of uncertainties in the business. The use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate because there are no material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were disclosed on pages 12 and 13 of Kofax plc’s 2013 Annual Report, which presents the results of the Company prior to the structural change, in which Kofax plc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kofax Limited. Kofax Limited was incorporated solely for this purpose. This change will not have any effect on the manner in which our business is conducted.

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting” and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority.
On December 5, 2013, the Group effected an initial public offering of 2,300,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.85 per share. The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on that exchange under the ticker symbol "KFX." All of the shares of common stock being offered were by Kofax; there were no selling Kofax shareholders. Additionally, the Group established Kofax Limited as the parent company through a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act of 2006. As part of the scheme, the Group established a new par value of $0.001 per share replacing the 2.5 pence per under Kofax plc. The reorganization of the Group has been accounted for in accordance with the principles of merger accounting as applicable to group reorganizations. The consolidated financial statements are therefore presented as if Kofax Limited had been the parent company of the Group throughout the periods presented. Share capital and share premium mounts in the comparative periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect such establishment.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures as required in the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements of Kofax plc for the year ended June 30, 2013 and prospectus dated November 28, 2013.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 3, 2014.
1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.
The adoption of the standards/ interpretations that have become effective for the current fiscal year have already been outlined in detail in the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013 and were not considered to have a significant impact on these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
1.3 Seasonality of operations
Many contracts, particularly those sold through the direct sales force, are finalized in the latter portions of any given quarter. Additionally, Group revenue may vary from quarter to quarter, depending on the timing and size of license revenue, which may contain individually large contracts in any given period. The first and third fiscal quarters have historically been seasonally weaker than the second and fourth quarters. This information is provided to allow for a proper appreciation of the results, however management have concluded that this does not constitute "highly seasonal” as considered by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
NOTE 2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of Kapow
On July 31, 2013, Kofax acquired 100% of the shares of Kapow Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Kapow), a company incorporated in the United States, specializing in data integration software. Kapow’s software will assist in Kofax’s ability to integrate smart process applications with third party software for content import and export purposes as well as data validation during a business process. In addition, it will assist in penetrating the emerging electronic content transformation segment of the multichannel capture market, and is highly complementary to the recent acquisition of Altosoft’s business intelligence and analytics products. The acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of Kapow during the five month period from the acquisition date. The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Kapow, at the acquisition date, are as follows:

Analysis of cash flows on acquisition:
($ in thousands) | ||
Cash outflow at time of closing | 40,524 | |
Less: cash acquired | 1,276 | |
Total cash consideration | 39,248 | |
The provisional goodwill of $25.5 million includes the value of acquired technologies, and expected synergies arising from the acquisition and the workforce, which is not separately recognizable. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
From the date of acquisition, Kapow has contributed $2.5 million of revenues and $4.0 million of net loss to the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenues from Kapow’s operations would have been approximately $3.5 million higher and the net income would have decreased by approximately $5.0 million and would have made the Group’s total revenues $140.4 million and net income $3.8 million.
NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group operates one business segment, the software business. All products and services are considered one solution to customers and are operated and analyzed under one income statement provided to and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM manages the business based on the key measures for resource allocation, based on a single set of financial data that encompasses the Group’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Group’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
There are no reportable assets that meet the criteria under IFRS 8 to be reported under the single operating segment.

Contingent consideration relates to deferred consideration, contingent consideration, and employee retention payments associated with acquisitions in prior periods and in the six months ended December 31, 2013. On July 25, 2013, the Altosoft share purchase agreement was amended to allow for achievement of earnings targets based on cumulative results in the first two years of the assessment. Management assessed a number of scenarios and based on those scenarios, estimated for financial accounting purposes, that $3.7 million of the contingent consideration will be paid to former shareholders.
In relation to the acquisition of Kapow, an additional $6.6 million of deferred consideration is included in provisions, of which $1.9 million is expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2013, with an additional $2.2 million to be paid one year from closing and $2.5 million to be paid two years from closing, with said amounts being subject to certain indemnification terms and conditions.
Additionally, the threshold for the contingent consideration and related retention bonuses related to the acquisition of Singularity was not achieved in the second measurement period. Accordingly provisions totaling $3.6 million have been reversed against the income statement.

NOTE 10 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There are no material pending or threatened lawsuits against the Group except for one filed November 29, 2012 in which the Group was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Scan EMEA Holding GmbH in Zurich, Switzerland, alleging that the Group breached its contract with Scan EMEA Holding GmbH in connection with the January 2011 agreement to sell the Group’s hardware business. As of December 31, 2013, the Group assessed the merits of the lawsuit, believe it would not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition and has vigorously litigated this matter and taken other actions available to it to mitigate any potential loss. Concurrent with filing the lawsuit Scan EMEA withheld €1.5 million of the final €2.0 million payment associated with their purchase of the Group’s hardware business.
In January 2014, Scan EMEA Holding GmbH was acquired by Spigraph International SA a pan-European value-added reseller of scanners and capture and image processing software. In conjunction with that transaction, the Group entered into a settlement agreement that resulted in Scan EMEA Holding GmbH waiving the claim.
