NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except per share data)


1. Nature of Operations and Financial Statement Presentation
Nature of Operations

We serve four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Corporate Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts consolidated with our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, fiscal 2018 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

Our unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, are unaudited. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 2, 2017.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our accounting policy for share-based compensation changed with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, as described further below. There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed therein.

Reclassification - Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, we reclassified certain software development costs to property and equipment during the year ended March 31, 2017, which impacted the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended June 30, 2016 in the amount of $0.4 million.

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, and ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. While we are still assessing the impact of this standard, we do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. While we are still assessing the impact of this standard, we do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial adoption. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our future consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which amends the accounting for stock-based compensation. The guidance requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized as a component of income tax expense rather than of stockholders’ equity and also allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate expected forfeitures or to account for them as they occur. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the ASU in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which is the first quarter for our annual period beginning April 1, 2017.  The following summarizes the effects of the adoption on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

Income taxes - In the first quarter of 2018, we did not recognize the discrete benefit related to $4.4 million of tax deductions in excess of recorded windfall tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation due to the Company’s full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal net operating losses.

Forfeitures - Prior to adoption, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures based on a rate management updated at least annually to reflect expected forfeitures over the vesting period. Upon adoption, the Company will no longer apply a forfeiture rate and instead will account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company applied the modified retrospective adoption approach and recorded a cumulative-

effect adjustment of approximately $0.7 million to opening retained earnings. Prior periods have not been adjusted.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and we are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, but anticipate that the new guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements given the significance of our leases.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 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. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. 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. As originally issued, this guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year, to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard allows entities to apply the standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective adoption”) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (“modified retrospective adoption”). We plan to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on its effective date for us beginning April 1, 2018 and we are still evaluating both options and their effect on our financial statements and business.

We expect to identify similar performance obligations under ASC 606 as compared with deliverables and separate units of account previously identified. As a result, we expect the timing of our revenue to occur in similar periods but we are still evaluating this theory especially with respect to multiple service contracts. We are assessing the new standard’s requirement to apply a single method to measure progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations recognized over time in our contracts that contain multiple services. We are evaluating our multiple service contracts to determine if the services are a single performance obligation under this new standard requiring a single method of measurement. We are assessing the new standards requirement to allocate the transaction prices of our contracts based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each our performance obligations. We are evaluating the stand-alone selling prices for our performance obligations. We are also assessing the new standard’s requirement to capitalize costs associated with obtaining customer contracts, including commission payments, which are currently expensed as incurred for all commissions earned subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2016. We are evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs and the applicability of the practical expediency exception which permits the continuation of expensing these costs for amortization periods of one year or less. In addition, for sales transactions that have been billed, but for which the recognition of revenue has been deferred and the related account receivable has not been collected, we currently do not recognize deferred revenue or the related accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheet. Under the new standard, we will record accounts receivable and related contract liabilities for non-cancelable contracts with customers when the right to consideration is unconditional, which we currently expect will result in increases in accounts receivable and contract liabilities (currently presented as deferred revenue) on our consolidated balance sheet, compared to our current presentation. We are continuing to review the impacts of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 to our consolidated financial statements and these preliminary assessments of the impacts to our consolidated financial statements are subject to change. We expect to conclude our assessments of the impacts of adoption sometime during our fourth quarter ending March 31, 2018.

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements.

Amortization expense related to software development costs related to assets to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed was $2.3 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These charges are included as Products cost of goods sold within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense relating to other definite-lived intangible assets was $11,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These charges are classified as operating expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Capitalized software development costs for software internally developed to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are carried on our balance sheet at net carrying value, net of accumulated amortization. We capitalized approximately $2.8 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts was $18.7 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The related allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.8 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

On January 12, 2015, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (Caesars) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 15, 2015, Caesars and certain of its affiliates filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11. Those cases have been consolidated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. As of May 26, 2015, we filed a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims. In January 2016, we filed an amended proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying $0.2 million of pre-petition claim in addition to those filed on May 26, 2015. As of June 30, 2017, approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims remain outstanding.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, an adjustment to true-up indefinite-lived intangibles, a refunded settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit, certain foreign and state tax effects, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

We have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Agilysys is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products, software, components and/or systems sold by us infringe patents owned by Ameranth purporting to cover generation and synchronization of menus, including restaurant menus, event tickets, and other products across fixed, wireless and/or internet platforms as well as synchronization of hospitality information and hospitality software applications across fixed, wireless and internet platforms. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit.  However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes

Table of Contents

646,134 and 340,101 of restricted shares at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as these shares were issued but were not vested and, therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic (loss) earnings per share at the balance sheet dates.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights ("SSARs"), unvested restricted shares and unvested performance shares that are potentially dilutive securities. When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive. In addition, when a net loss is reported, adjusting the denominator of diluted earnings per share would also be anti-dilutive to the loss per share, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for a discontinued operation. Therefore, for all periods presented, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net loss per share.


8. Share-based Compensation

We may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and restricted share units under our shareholder-approved 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan) for up to 2.0 million common shares, plus 957,575 common shares, the number of shares that were remaining for grant under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) as of the effective date of the 2016 Plan, plus the number of shares remaining for grant under the 2011 Plan that are forfeited, settled in cash, canceled or expired. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted under the 2016 Plan is 1.25 million. With respect to awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based exception to the deductibility limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum number of shares subject to stock options or SSARs that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 800,000 shares, and the maximum number of shares subject to restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 400,000 shares.

We have a shareholder-approved 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) that still has vested awards outstanding. Awards are no longer being granted from this incentive plan.

We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and appreciation right exercises or restricted share and performance share awards.

We record compensation expense related to stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and SSARs awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of our common shares.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted shares is determined based upon the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. As of June 30, 2017, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $2.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.5 years.

Performance Shares

We awarded certain restricted shares to our Chief Executive Officer, the vesting of which is performance based. The number of shares that vest will be based on the stock price and relative attainment of performance metric.

Based on the performance goals, management estimates a liability of $450,000 to be settled through the vesting of a variable number of the performance shares subsequent to March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2017, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested performance shares was $405,000, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 9 months.

9. Fair Value Measurements
We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. The hierarchy indicates the extent to which pricing inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable, or other observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates, and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include our own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables below.
 
There were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

The recorded value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies is adjusted to the cash surrender value of the policies obtained from the third party life insurance providers, which are not observable in the market, and therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies are recorded within “Other expenses (income), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”), management explains the general financial condition and results of operations for Agilysys and subsidiaries including:

—    what factors affect our business;
—    what our earnings and costs were;
—    why those earnings and costs were different from the year before;
—    where the earnings came from;
—    how our financial condition was affected; and
—    where the cash will come from to fund future operations.

The MD&A analyzes changes in specific line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and provides information that management believes is important to assessing and understanding our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q updates information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report as well as our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2017. Information provided in the MD&A may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” on page 25 of this Quarterly Report, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report, and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 for additional information concerning these items. Management believes that this information, discussion, and disclosure is important in making decisions about investing in Agilysys.

Revenue - Defined

As required by the SEC, we separately present revenue earned as products revenue, support, maintenance and subscription services revenue or professional services revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to the SEC requirements, we may, at times, also refer to revenue as defined below. The terminology, definitions, and applications of terms we use to describe our revenue may be different from those used by other companies and caution should be used when comparing these financial measures to those of other companies. We use the following terms to describe revenue:

•    Revenue – We present revenue net of sales returns and allowances.
Products revenue – Revenue earned from the sales of hardware equipment and proprietary and remarketed software.
Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue – Revenue earned from the sale of proprietary and remarketed ongoing support, maintenance and subscription or hosting services.
Professional services revenue – Revenue earned from the delivery of implementation, integration and installation services for proprietary and remarketed products.

Net revenue.  Total net revenue increased $2.9 million, or 9.4%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Products revenue increased $0.8 million, or 8.0%, due primarily to increased sales of our on premise offerings for new sites with our existing customers. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $1.7 million, or 11.5%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 driven by new customers using our on premise software products which require the payment of support and maintenance along with continued increases in subscription based service revenue, which increased approximately 57.8% during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Professional services revenue increased $0.4 million, or 6.6%, as a result of increased volume of customer installation and implementation projects related to the sale of on premise and subscription based solutions.

Gross profit and gross profit margin.  Our total gross profit increased $0.5 million, or 3.0%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and total gross profit margin decreased approximately 3.1% to 49.2% from 52.3%. Products gross profit decreased $0.3 million and gross profit margin decreased approximately 5.5% to 25.9% primarily as a result of an increase of $1.0 million of developed technology amortization as a result of the rGuest® Stay and Buy development costs being placed into service with the announcement of the property management system and point of sale solution as being generally available during the first and second quarter of fiscal 2017, respectively. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $1.5 million and gross margin increased 1.6% to 75.8% due to the scalable nature of our infrastructure supporting and hosting customers. Professional services gross profit decreased $0.7 million and gross profit margin decreased 12.6% to 19.9% due to a re-deployment of internal resources that were previously not billable into billable functions as a part of restructuring our professional services workforce into teams with specific named customer responsibilities that we feel will enable us to be more customer centric and able to better service our customers and their needs.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, excluding the charges for asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments, legal settlements, and restructuring, severance and other charges, increased $1.4 million, or 7.4%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
  
Product development.  Product development decreased $0.2 million, or 3.3%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 due primarily to a $0.6 million reclassification of employee cost from product development to cost of goods sold related to the restructuring of our professional services workforce to better address customer needs, offset by approximately $0.4 million related to increased compensation costs. We capitalized approximately $3.5 million and $3.4 million in total development costs during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing decreased $0.5 million, or 8.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The change is primarily reflecting strategic initiatives undertaken to better align compensation with common industry standards for a software technology focused company.

General and administrative.  General and administrative increased $1.9 million, or 39.5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017 due primarily to increases of $0.4 million in stock compensation expense related to executive stock grants and the impact of removing forfeiture rates as a result of adopting ASU No. 2016-09, $0.6 million in cash-based compensation as a result of additional headcount, $0.6 million in non-recurring expenses related to professional fees and contract labor, and $0.2 million in incremental costs related to executive turnover.

Restructuring, severance, and other charges. Restructuring, severance, and other charges decreased $0.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 due to reduced severance payments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects, and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of zero to $0.1 million of tax and zero to $0.1 million of interest based on the outcome of tax examinations and as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are routinely audited; due to the ongoing nature of current examinations in multiple jurisdictions, other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time.

We have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $43.4 million as of June 30, 2017 and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, our total debt was approximately $0.2 million, comprised of capital lease obligations in both periods.

At June 30, 2017, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We maintain approximately 92% of our cash and cash equivalents in the United States. Therefore, we believe that credit risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents.

Cash flow used in operating activities.  Cash flow used in operating activities was $0.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2018. A working capital decrease of $2.2 million and operating loss of $3.0 million were offset by $3.4 million in depreciation and amortization, $1.2 million in share-based compensation, and $0.5 million in insurance proceeds. Total share-based compensation increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to higher value executive stock grants and the impact of removing forfeiture rates.

Cash flow used in investing activities. For the first three months of fiscal 2018, the $5.1 million in cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of $3.0 million for the development of proprietary software and $2.1 million for purchase of property and equipment, and internal use software development.

Cash flow used in financing activities.  During the first three months of fiscal 2018, the $0.3 million used in financing activities was primarily comprised of $0.3 million related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding.
