NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 is consistent with the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015, and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2015 (the “Form 8-K”) to retrospectively reflect for the periods included in the Form 10-K the addition of HealthStream Provider Solutions as a new reporting segment of the Company which occurred during the first quarter of 2015. The Form 8-K did not modify our previously reported financial statements for the periods included in the Form 10-K other than the change in business segment presentation.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states 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. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

3. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 42.7% and 42.3%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two stock incentive plans. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options, restricted share units (RSUs), and other stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 76,855 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.64 per share, and the Company issued 49,310 stock awards, with weighted average grant date fair value of $30.42 per share. Both measurements were based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 70,080 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.71 per share. This measurement was based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

Total stock based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income, is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Other general and administrative		415		318		702		594

Total stock based compensation expense	$	1,938	$	450	$	2,347	$	834

Stock Awards

During June 2015, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Robert A. Frist, Jr., entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which he contributed 54,241 of his personally owned shares of HealthStream, Inc. common stock to the Company, without any consideration paid to him. In connection with this contribution, the Company approved the grant of 49,310 shares of HealthStream, Inc. common stock to over 600 employees who were not otherwise eligible to receive equity awards and had at least one year of service with the Company. The Company recognized approximately $1.5 million of stock based compensation expense for these stock awards based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the Company’s approval of these grants. In connection with these equity awards, effective in the second quarter of 2015, the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld were 17,279, and were based on the value of the stock awards on the date of the Company’s approval of these grants, as determined by the Company’s closing stock price on that date. Total payments related to the employees’ tax obligations to taxing authorities for these stock awards were approximately $526,000, and are reflected as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These share withholdings had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced and retired the number of shares otherwise issuable as a result of the stock awards and did not represent an expense to the Company.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted share units subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect, was approximately -0- and 70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately 7,000 and 119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):

Subtotal		39,010		—		(37	)		38,973

Total	$	39,010	$	—	$	(37	)	$	38,973

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet approximate the fair value based on quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. As of June 30, 2015, the Company does not consider any of its marketable securities to be other than temporarily impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not reclassify any items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. All investments in marketable securities are classified as a current asset on the balance sheet because the underlying securities mature within one year from the balance sheet date.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

HealthLine Systems

On March 16, 2015, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of HealthLine Systems, LLC (HLS), a San Diego, California based company that specializes in credentialing, privileging, call center, and quality management solutions for the healthcare industry. The acquisition of HLS enables the Company to provide a comprehensive solution set for healthcare provider credentialing, privileging, enrollment, referral, onboarding, and analytics in support of HealthStream’s approach to talent management for healthcare organizations. The consideration paid for HLS consisted of approximately $88.1 million in cash (taking into account an estimated closing working capital adjustment). The Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $965,000 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $329,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The results of operations for HLS have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment.

A summary of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):


Cash paid at closing	$	81,379
Cash held in escrow		6,750

Total consideration paid	$	88,129

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued)

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (in thousands):


Cash	$	54
Accounts receivable, net		3,245
Prepaid assets		746
Property and equipment		200
Deferred tax assets		2,586
Goodwill		42,076
Intangible assets		47,200
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(1,886	)
Deferred revenue		(6,092	)

Preliminary net assets acquired	$	88,129

The excess of preliminary purchase price over the preliminary fair values of net tangible and intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill. The preliminary fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax assets, deferred revenue, and other liabilities are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available at the time of the acquisition. The preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we finalize the valuation of these items. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the preliminary fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was increased by $4.6 million. Included in the preliminary assets and liabilities is an estimated indemnification asset of $500,000 and a contingent liability of $1.5 million, both are associated with tax liabilities. The contingent liability is measured based on management’s estimate of a range of probable outcomes. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, additional market opportunities from offering HLS’s products, and expected synergies from integrating HLS with other products or other combined functional areas within the Company. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was preliminarily adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $15.2 million to an estimated fair value of $6.1 million. The preliminary $9.1 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

The following table sets forth the preliminary components of identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date (in thousands):


	Preliminary fair value		Useful life
Customer relationships	$	42,600		13 years
Developed technology		3,700		5 years
Trade names		900		6 years

Total preliminary intangible assets subject to amortization	$	47,200

The amounts of revenue and operating income (loss) of HLS included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition of March 16, 2015 to the period ending June 30, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued)

These unaudited pro forma combined results of operations include certain adjustments arising from the acquisition such as adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, fair value adjustments of acquired deferred revenue balances, and interest expense associated with borrowings under a revolving credit facility by the Company to partially fund the acquisition. The pro forma combined results for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include nonrecurring adjustments of $1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which reduce net income due to the revaluation of HLS’s historic deferred revenue to fair value. The unaudited pro forma combined results of operations is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of what the Company’s results of operations would have been had such transactions occurred at the beginning of the period presented or to project the Company’s results of operations in any future period.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 combines the historical results of the Company and HLS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the pro forma adjustments listed above.

Health Care Compliance Strategies

On March 3, 2014, the Company acquired all of the stock of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS), a Jericho, New York based company that specializes in healthcare compliance solutions and services. The Company acquired HCCS to further advance its suite of workforce development solutions, including its offering of compliance solutions. The consideration paid for HCCS consisted of approximately $12.8 million in cash (taking into account a post-closing working capital adjustment) and 81,614 shares of our common stock. The Company made an additional payment of $750,000 during the second quarter of 2015, upon the achievement of certain performance milestones within one year post-closing. The Company incurred approximately $515,000 in transaction costs associated with the acquisition, of which $365,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014 and $150,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded approximately $6.2 million of goodwill, $8.4 million of identifiable intangible assets, $2.6 million of tangible assets, $625,000 of deferred tax assets, and $2.7 million of liabilities. Included in the recorded liabilities was an accrual for contingent consideration of approximately $600,000. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to assembled workforce, additional market opportunities of HCCS’s compliance solutions, and expected synergies from integrating HCCS’s products into our platform. The goodwill balance is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $3.2 million to an estimated fair value of $1.7 million. The $1.5 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services. The results of operations for HCCS have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Workforce Development Solutions segment.

9. DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains a Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, which matures on November 24, 2017. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to $50.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million swing line subfacility, as well as an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by a total of up to $25.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. At the Company’s election, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to the highest of SunTrust’s prime rate or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Rate or 1.0% in excess of one-month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one, two, three, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency (the “Eurocurrency Rate”), as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 1.50% to 2.00%. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 0.50% to 1.50%. Commitment fees and letter of credit fees are also payable under the Revolving Credit Facility. Principal is payable in full at maturity on November 24, 2017, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging between 20 and 30 basis points per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio.

The purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility is for general working capital needs, permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and for stock repurchase and/or redemption transactions that the Company may authorize.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, changes to the character of the Company’s business, acquisitions, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, sale or discount of receivables, creation or acquisitions of additional subsidiaries, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation:

•

a funded debt leverage ratio (consolidated debt/consolidated EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0; and

•

an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA/consolidated interest expense) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in material compliance with all covenants. There were no balances outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid approximately $28.0 million of balances previously outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility from proceeds received in the Company’s public offering of 3,869,750 shares which closed on May 28, 2015. The weighted average interest rate was 1.68% for borrowings under Revolving Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Business Combination

On March 16, 2015, we acquired for cash the outstanding membership interests of HLS, the legal successor to HealthLine Systems, Inc., a company that specializes in provider credentialing, privileging, call center, and quality management solutions for the healthcare industry.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.

The accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

•

Revenue recognition

•

Accounting for income taxes

•

Software development costs

•

Goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets

•

Allowance for doubtful accounts

•

Stock based compensation

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by US GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas where management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2014 Form 10-K and the Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2015, which contains additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by US GAAP. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2014 Form 10-K or the Form 8-K.

Revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $6.7 million, or 20%, over the second quarter of 2014. Revenues from our subscription-based workforce products increased approximately $6.0 million, or 19%, over the prior year second quarter due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Our Workforce Solutions annualized revenue per implemented subscriber metric was $35.35 per subscriber for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $35.39 per subscriber for the second quarter of 2014. Our implemented subscriber base increased by 18% over the prior year second quarter to 4.37 million implemented subscribers at June 30, 2015 compared to 3.69 million implemented subscribers at June 30, 2014.

Specifically, revenues from ICD-10 readiness training were approximately $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in revenues for this product is due to the expiration of subscriptions which were not renewed.

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $1.5 million, or 56%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily resulted from amortization of capitalized software development, amortization of intangible assets from recent acquisitions (including amortization of software acquired for resale), and depreciation expense associated with capital expenditures.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net was approximately an expense of $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to income of $23,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The $67,000 decrease is primarily associated with higher interest expense from borrowings under a revolving credit facility during the second quarter of 2015.

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to approximately 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Income. Net income decreased approximately $890,000, or 38%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $14.3 million, or 23%, over the first six months of 2014. Revenues from our subscription-based workforce products increased approximately $13.4 million, or 22%, over the prior year period due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Revenues in 2015 were positively influenced by growth in courseware subscriptions and our enterprise applications. Specifically, revenues from ICD-10 readiness training were approximately $13.9 million for the first six months of 2015, compared to $13.8 million for the first six months of 2014. In addition, revenues from our acquisition of HCCS, were approximately $4.2 million during the first six months of 2015, compared to $1.2 million during the first six months of 2014.

Revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions increased approximately $1.3 million, or 8%, over the first six months of 2014. Revenues from Patient Insights™ surveys, our survey research product that generates recurring revenues, increased by approximately $1.4 million, or 12%, over the first six months of 2014.

Revenues from other products increased by approximately $309,000, or 14% over the first six months of 2014.

Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenues increased approximately $6.9 million, or 20%, to $42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was approximately 43% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to approximately 44% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $4.5 million to $30.1 million and approximated 39% and 41% of revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in amount is primarily associated with increased royalties paid by us resulting from growth in courseware subscription revenues, increased personnel costs, and stock based compensation. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions increased approximately $1.4 million to $11.2 million and approximated 67% and 63% of revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of increased personnel costs, including personnel to support the growth in patient survey volume over the prior year, and stock based compensation. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $1.0 million, or 309%, to $1.4 million and approximated 27% and 15% of HealthStream Provider Solutions revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of the HLS acquisition.

Product Development.

Product development expenses for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $2.2 million and approximated 12% and 11% of revenues for HealthStream Workforce Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenues is due to additional personnel expenses associated with new product development initiatives for our subscription-based products, as well as stock based compensation. Product development expenses for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions decreased approximately $145,000 and approximated 4% and 5% of revenues for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is

due to fewer personnel expenses compared to the prior year period. Product development expenses for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $520,000 and approximated 15% and 10% of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in amount and as a percentage of revenues is primarily associated with the HLS acquisition.

Sales and Marketing.

The decrease in amount and as a percentage of revenues is due to fewer account management personnel compared to the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $827,000, and approximated 28% and 27% of revenues for HealthStream Provider Solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in amount is primarily associated with the HLS acquisition.

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased approximately $3.1 million, or 29%, to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were approximately 14% and 13% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Workforce Solutions increased approximately $171,000 over the first six months of 2014 primarily associated with the HCCS acquisition. Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Patient Experience Solutions increased approximately $169,000 over the first six months of 2014 primarily due to increased facilities costs for a new patient interview center in Nashville, Tennessee. Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Provider Solutions increased approximately $627,000 over the first six months of 2014 primarily associated with the HLS acquisition. The unallocated corporate portion of other general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.1 million over the first six months of 2014, primarily associated with additional personnel, professional fees, stock based compensation, and other general expenses, as well as higher acquisition related costs during 2015 than in 2014. During the first six months of 2015, acquisition costs associated with the HLS acquisition were approximately $965,000 while during the first six months of 2014, acquisition costs associated with the HCCS acquisition were approximately $350,000.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $2.4 million, or 47%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase primarily resulted from amortization of capitalized software development, amortization of intangible assets from recent acquisitions (including amortization of software acquired for resale), and depreciation expense associated with capital expenditures.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net was an expense of approximately $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to income of $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The $103,000 decrease is primarily associated with higher interest expense from borrowings under a revolving credit facility during 2015

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 43% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to approximately 42% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Income. Net income decreased approximately $116,000, or 3%, to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Earnings per diluted share were $0.15 per share for both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, stock based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) increased approximately 29% to approximately $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This improvement resulted from the factors mentioned above. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing its financial results and ongoing operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company and provides useful information to investors because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors and securities analysts to assess the Company’s results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with US GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and due to the Company’s utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and other available deductions in 2014 and 2015, actual cash income tax payments have been significantly less than the tax provision recorded in accordance with US GAAP, and income tax payments will continue to be less than the income tax provision until our existing federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired.

Management addresses these inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

Over the past few years, the Company has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, the Company may record a write down of deferred revenue to fair value as defined in GAAP. If the Company is required to record a write-down of deferred revenue, it may result in lower recognized revenue, operating income, and net income in subsequent periods.

The Company completed the acquisitions of HCCS in March 2014 and HLS in March 2015. In accordance with US GAAP reporting requirements for fair value, we recorded a deferred revenue write-down of approximately $1.5 million for HCCS and a preliminary write-down of $9.1 million for HLS. These write-downs resulted in lower revenues in periods subsequent to those acquisitions than would have otherwise been recognized for such services

In connection therewith, this report presents below non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income, which in each such case reflects the corresponding GAAP figures adjusted to exclude the impact of the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses as referenced above. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the Company’s performance between periods by excluding the impact of this deferred revenue write-down and provides a useful measure of the ongoing performance of the Company. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired business is deferred and typically recognized over a one-to-two year period following the completion of any particular acquisition, so our GAAP revenues for this one-to-two year period will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is set forth below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $19.1 million and $22.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) was 60 days for the second quarter of 2015 compared to 66 days for the second quarter of 2014. The improvement in DSO over the prior year resulted from improved collections. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable balance for the quarter by average daily revenues for the quarter. The Company’s primary sources of cash were receipts generated from the sales of our products and services. The primary uses of cash to fund operations included personnel expenses, sales commissions, royalty payments, payments for contract labor and other direct expenses associated with delivery of our products and services, and general corporate expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $143.5 million and $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2015, the Company utilized $88.1 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions, purchased $76.8 million of marketable securities, purchased $4.1 million of property and equipment, spent $3.6 million for capitalized software development, and made $1.0 million in non-marketable equity investments. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $29.9 million. During 2014, the Company purchased $32.0 million of marketable securities, utilized $12.5 million (net of cash acquired) for acquisitions, spent $2.7 million for capitalized software development, purchased $2.4 million of property and equipment, and made $265,000 in non-marketable equity investments. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $29.1 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $96.9 million and $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The primary sources of cash from financing activities for 2015 resulted from $98.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of 3.9 million shares of our common stock in our underwritten public offering that was completed on May 28, 2015, and $277,000 of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. The primary uses of cash during 2015 related to payments of payroll taxes from stock based compensation arrangements of $748,000, and earn-outs for prior business combinations of $628,000. During 2014 the primary source of cash from financing activities resulted from proceeds (net of payroll taxes paid) from the exercise of employee stock options and issuance of RSUs, while $261,000 of cash was used related to payments of payroll taxes from stock based compensation arrangements.

Our balance sheet reflects positive working capital of $111.9 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $97.4 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the proceeds of $98.0 million from the issuance of common stock as noted above, but partially offset cash used to fund the HLS acquisition of approximately $88.1 million. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is $139.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company also has a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, all of which was available for additional borrowing at June 30, 2015.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital, new product development and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Over the past nine years, we have utilized our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income, therefore reducing our tax liabilities. We anticipate our remaining net operating loss carryforwards will become fully utilized during 2015. Our actual tax payments are expected to increase significantly once the net operating loss carryforwards are fully utilized.

Our growth strategy includes acquiring businesses that provide complementary products and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions, if any, would be effected through a combination of stock and cash consideration. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition or to raise additional capital could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and availability calculations designed to set a maximum leverage ratio of outstanding debt to adjusted EBITDA and an interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. Therefore, the maximum borrowings against our revolving credit facility would be dependent on the covenant values at the time of borrowing. As of June 30, 2015, we were in material compliance with all covenants. There can be no assurance that amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to consummate any possible acquisitions, and we cannot assure you that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. We do not have any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. We are subject to interest rate market risk associated with the borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility varies depending on the interest rate option selected by the Company plus a margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are also exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $139.9 million at June 30, 2015. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates for invested balances, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by approximately $78,000.

The Company’s investment policy and strategy is focused on investing in highly rated securities, with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and sets limits on the average portfolio maturity.

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
