Merge Healthcare Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited and in thousands, except for share and per share data)
 
(1)
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, of Merge Healthcare Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (which may be referred to collectively as “Merge,” “we,” “us” or “our”).
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted. The results of operations in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
 
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based on information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
(2)
Acquisition
 
On February 25, 2015, we acquired 91.5% of the outstanding common shares and voting interest of D.R. Systems, Inc. (“DR Systems”) for cash consideration of $76,514. Cash acquired was $13,455. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we acquired the remaining outstanding common shares for $7,077, making DR Systems a wholly-owned subsidiary. The results of DR System’s operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since February 25, 2015. DR Systems is a provider of PACS, RIS and CVIS advanced image processing systems and other medical imaging information system products and services primarily in the United States. We acquired DR Systems to expand our customer base and gain access to its intellectual property and employees.
 
The following table summarizes preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. We are continuing the process of finalizing purchase accounting, including the third-party valuations of certain intangible assets; thus, the provisional measurements below are subject to change.

Goodwill
 
Indefinite
 
N/A

As noted above, the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for these assets.
 
The $55,848 of goodwill was assigned to our Merge Healthcare segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies, the assembled workforce and business activities of DR Systems. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
 
We recognized $682 of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the six months ended June 30, 2015. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the line item acquisition-related expenses. From the acquisition date to the period ended June 30, 2015, our condensed consolidated statements of operations include revenues of $12,535 and net income of $899 related to DR Systems. The net income includes $645 of restructuring charges and $1,553 in amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets.
 
The following represents the pro forma consolidated statements of operations as if DR Systems had been included in our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

These results have been adjusted to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied on January 1, 2014. The results also include an 8.5% quarterly dividend of $1,063 on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) that we issued to enable us to complete the acquisition as if the issuance had occurred on January 1, 2014. The recognition of a preliminary deferred tax asset valuation reserve release of $18,393, subsequently reduced to $16,555 in the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $4,915 of dividend equivalents related to the Preferred Stock issuance have been shown as January 1, 2014 adjustments to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of Merge and have been excluded from the 2015 pro forma results.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Our financial instruments are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying value of our financial instruments including, cash and cash equivalents (which are comprised primarily of deposit and overnight sweep accounts), accounts receivable, accounts payable, and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Based on borrowing rates currently available to us, with similar terms, the carrying values of our term loan, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and capital lease obligations approximate their fair values.
 
The carrying value of our long-term debt recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was approximately $219,362 and $225,426, respectively. See Notes 7 and 8 for further discussions of our term loan and preferred stock.
 
Non-Current Investments
 
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we held certain equity securities in private companies, which are classified within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investments in these equity securities are classified as Level 3 investments and are reported at cost or on an equity basis using the equity method of accounting. Any losses due to impairment in value are recorded as realized losses when such losses occur. The carrying value of these Level 3 investments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, is $453.
 
(6)
Restructuring
 
Subsequent to the acquisition of DR Systems, we completed a restructuring initiative that reduced our workforce by approximately 6% due to the existence of redundant positions. We recorded restructuring charges of $1,178 related to this initiative which consisted solely of employee termination costs. The following table sets forth restructuring activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Debt
 
Term Loan
 
Our Term Loan was established pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) on April 29, 2014. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants consisting of a total leverage and an interest coverage ratio. The total leverage and interest coverage ratios are based on consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement and are not to exceed 6.50:1 or be less than 2.15:1, respectively, as of June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all applicable operating covenants.
 
Based on an election we made pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement with respect to the interest period and optional rate, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum through June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 7.00%. Interest is currently payable on the last business day of each month.
 
We are required to make quarterly principal payments totaling $2,938 over the life of the Term Loan. We have made all required quarterly principal payments through June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the future maturities of principal under the Term Loan for the remainder of 2015 will be $5,875 and for each of the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 are $11,750, respectively, with $170,375 due in 2020.
 
Our prior term loan and revolving credit facility were both terminated on April 29, 2014. During 2014, we made required principal payments of $592 against the prior term loan as well as additional voluntary payments of $8,000.
 
2015 Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement
 
We received a waiver and amended the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) on February 25, 2015, in connection with our acquisition of DR Systems. Our lenders agreed to waive the requirement under the Credit Agreement to make a mandatory prepayment of the term loans to the extent that the excess cash flow for the 2014 excess cash flow period was used for the purchase of DR Systems and for related fees, costs or expenses. The First Amendment allowed for the issuance of the Preferred Stock, including dividends due thereunder and future issuances on similar terms, and the acquisition of DR Systems. We are also permitted to make payment-in-kind dividends on the Preferred Stock or any replacement Preferred Stock. The First Amendment also expanded the definition of events of default such as a default under the Preferred Stock agreement, our inability to redeem Preferred Stock within 90 days of exercise by the preferred holder and certain situations in which replacement Preferred Stock would be issued by us. 
 
In connection with the First Amendment, we paid our lenders a fee of $573, which was capitalized as additional debt discount and will be amortized over the remaining life of the Term Loan in accordance with ASC 470-50 Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments since our debt was considered modified. Third party fees of $145 were expensed and are included in other income expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
Interest Expense and Other
 
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we recorded $4,249 and $8,493, respectively, of interest expense related to our debt, including $36 and $72, respectively, of amortization of debt issuance costs and $198 and $384, respectively, of amortization of debt discount. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $4,178 and $8,297, respectively, of interest expense related to our debt, including $76 and $392, respectively, of amortization of debt issuance costs and $143 and $319, respectively, of debt discount amortization. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we made interest payments of $8,012 and $7,497, respectively, related to term loans. Our borrowings under the Term Loan had an effective interest rate of 7.57% at June 30, 2015.
 
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the long term debt balance in our condensed consolidated balance sheets include $3,888 and $3,699 of unamortized debt discount, respectively, and the balance of unamortized issuance costs included in other assets is $711 and $783, respectively. The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.
 
(8)
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On February 25, 2015, we issued 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. We used the net proceeds to finance the acquisition of DR Systems and to pay related fees.
 
10

Participation Rights and Dividends
 
 The Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation value of $1,000 per share, and holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative, compounding dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 8.5% per annum provided we have profit, surplus or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends. If we do not have legally available funds, we may elect to pay dividends in-kind with additional shares of Preferred Stock. We have paid holders of the Preferred Stock quarterly cash dividends of $413 and $1,063 for a total of $1,476 in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
 
The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends declared or paid on our common stock and are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock as a single class, in each case, on an as-converted basis. Holders of Preferred Stock have certain consent rights that require us to get the written consent of a majority of the holders regarding actions that affect them including actions that; (1) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up Merge, (2) amend, modify, or repeal of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that would adversely affect them, (3) reduce their liquidation preference and (4) include the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities.
 
Conversion by Us
 
Beginning on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, at our election, all or a portion of the Preferred Stock will be convertible into the relevant number of shares of common stock provided that the average of the volume weighted average prices (the VWAPs) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date we deliver a notice of redemption is greater than $8.28, subject to a proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or other proportionate recapitalization. If we elect to convert the Series A Preferred Shares the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares may, so long as we are permitted to make such payment in cash under the terms of the Credit Agreement (or any subsequent senior credit facility), elect to have us redeem their shares for an amount in cash equal to 80% of the redemption price. In connection with any such conversion, any unpaid Series A dividends will be paid in cash, if permitted and if not, in Series A Preferred Shares which will be deemed to convert into common stock prior to any then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.
 
The Preferred Stock is convertible into 12,077,500 shares of our common stock based on the conversion rate in place as of June 30, 2015. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments, except with respect to certain excluded issuances.
 
Conversion by the Holders
 
The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.14 per share, subject to adjustment. When initially issued, a conversion cap limited the conversion of the Preferred Stock to 19.99% of the common shares outstanding immediately prior to the date of issuance in connection with a conversion. On June 17, 2015, our stockholders approved the removal of the conversion cap.
 
Redemption by Us
 
At any time after the first anniversary of issuance, we will have the right to redeem not less than all of the Preferred Stock provided that, at the time of any such redemption, the average of the VWAPs during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date we deliver a notice of redemption is greater than $8.28. Upon any such redemption, we will pay a price per Series A Preferred Share with respect to which such redemption requests have been made in cash equal to the greater of (i) (A) the liquidation value (as defined in the Credit Agreement), multiplied by 2, (B) plus any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock upon such occurrence and (ii) the sum of (A) the product of (1) the then current fair market value of our common stock and (2) the initial conversion rate and (B) any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock upon such occurrence (the “Redemption Price”); provided, further that if we elect to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares (including any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends), the holders of the Preferred Stock may, within three days following receipt of our notice to redeem, elect to convert such holders’ Series A Preferred Shares into common stock at the then-applicable conversion price (prior to the stockholder approval, subject to the conversion cap), provided that any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends will be paid in cash to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement (or any subsequent senior credit facility entered into by us) and applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed by us may elect to convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder into conversion stock (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at any time prior to the applicable redemption date.
 
11

Redemption by Holder
 
At any time on or after July 29, 2020, any holder of Series A Preferred Shares may request redemption, out of funds legally available therefor, of all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder, by delivering written notice of such request to us specifying the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be so redeemed and the date of such redemption (which date may not be earlier than 30 days after delivery of such redemption notice). We will be required to redeem on the date so specified in such holder’s written notice delivered to us all or any portion of their Series A Preferred Shares with respect to which such redemption requests have been made at a price per Series A Preferred Share in cash equal to the liquidation value, plus all Preferred Stock unpaid dividends.
 
At any time during a 10 day period following a debt refinancing by us, any holder of Series A Preferred Shares may request redemption, out of funds legally available therefor, of all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder. We will be required to redeem their Series A Preferred Shares at a price per Series A Preferred Share in cash equal to the greater of (x) the liquidation value, plus any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock upon such occurrence, plus the amount of any prepayment premium (as defined in the Credit Agreement) required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement as if the Credit Agreement was to be repaid on the date specified for redemption in such holder’s written notice to us, and (y) the sum of (A) the product of (1) the then current fair market value of the common stock and (2) the initial conversion rate, and (B) any Preferred Stock unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock upon such occurrence. If following the refinancing repayment eligibility date, we do not repay all amounts outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any replacement credit facility entered into by us, we are prohibited from calling the Series A Preferred for redemption at the time.
 
Change in Control
 
Upon certain change of control events involving us, the holders can require us to repurchase the Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation value, multiplied by 1.5 or (ii) (A) the liquidation value, multiplied by 1.25, (B) plus any Series A unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock upon such occurrence; provided, that the Preferred Stock majority holders may waive the right to receive the change of control payment in connection with any change of control.
 
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, we incurred expenses of approximately $566 which were netted against the proceeds allocated to the fair value of the preferred shares. We also recognized a beneficial conversion feature at the time of issuance in accordance with ASC-470-20 and allocated its intrinsic value of $4,349 to paid-in-capital. We then immediately amortized the intrinsic value in full and recognized it as a dividend to the preferred shareholders since the Preferred Stock was convertible upon issuance. The intrinsic value was measured as the difference between the closing price of our common stock on February 25, 2015, of $4.50 and the conversion price of $4.14 per common share.
 
 In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, preferred stock with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer are required to be presented outside of permanent equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the stock purchase agreement and as noted above, the holder has the option to redeem the Preferred Stock any time on or after July 29, 2020, or upon a change in control or subsequent to our call for conversion and the holders’ right to redeem for cash. As such, the Preferred Stock is presented in temporary or mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The accreted redemption value at June 30, 2015, was $50,000. On each future consolidated balance sheet through July 29, 2020, the next earliest probable date at which the Preferred Stock will become redeemable, we will use an appropriate accretion method based upon the facts and circumstances at the time, to adjust the carrying value of the preferred stock to its redemption value.

Share-Based Compensation Plans
 
On June 17, 2015, our shareholders approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) with a share limit of 2,000,000 shares plus the 2,924,189 shares remaining available for issuance under our 2005 EIP. Any shares of common stock that are subject to an outstanding award under the 2005 EIP that is canceled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise or realization will also again become available for issuance under the EIP. The EIP provides for awards of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards or cash awards to employees. Directors and consultants may receive non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance compensation awards. Awards are limited to 3.0 million shares during any three year period. No further awards will be granted under the 2005 EIP.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
We maintain an ESPP that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation on an after-tax basis. Effective with the quarter ending June 30, 2015, eligible employees participating in the ESPP receive a 15% discount from the market price at the beginning or end of the calendar quarter whichever is lower. The previous discount was 5%. Eligible employees can purchase up to $12.5 of stock during each calendar year. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $36 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, related to the ESPP.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation
 
In August 2010, Merge Healthcare was sued in the Northern District of Texas by the Court-appointed receiver for Stanford International Bank, Ltd. The receiver alleges that Merge Healthcare was a recipient of a fraudulent conveyance as a result of a Ponzi scheme orchestrated by Robert Stanford and Stanford International Bank, Ltd. (SIBL). Merge Healthcare is not alleged to have participated in the Ponzi scheme. The receiver’s claims arise from the failed acquisition of Emageon, Inc. (Emageon) by Health Systems Solutions, Inc. (HSS), an affiliate of SIBL, in February 2009, which resulted in the payment of a $9,000 break-up fee by HSS, which payment is alleged to have been financed by SIBL. Merge Healthcare subsequently acquired Emageon as part of our AMICAS acquisition. The complaint seeks to recover the $9,000 payment to Emageon, plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. We have retained litigation counsel and intend to vigorously defend this action. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which motion was denied. Trial has been scheduled for November 2015. Discovery in this matter is ongoing. We believe it is reasonably possible that we may incur a loss with respect to this matter. The potential loss may lie in a range from zero to the full amount claimed, plus interest.
 
On January 16, 2014, a purported shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by Fernando Rossy, who claimed to be a Merge Healthcare stockholder, against Merge Healthcare and certain current and former directors and officers claiming violations of federal securities laws and asserting that a class of our stockholders suffered damages due to the alleged dissemination or approval of false and misleading statements by Merge Healthcare from August 1, 2012 through January 7, 2014, related to falsified subscription backlog figures and a reluctance amongst large health systems to make enterprise purchases, as well as a lack of effective controls. Several other putative shareholder class action complaints alleging materially the same causes of action were subsequently filed. A hearing was held on March 26, 2014, before the Court of the Northern District Illinois, at which time the Court granted the motion of the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (“ATRS”) to consolidate the purported class action cases and to appoint ATRS as lead plaintiff. ATRS filed an amended complaint on May 28, 2014. We subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the purported class action lawsuit and, on March 12, 2015, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order granting our motion and dismissing the lawsuit. We believe that the plaintiff’s time to file a notice of appeal of the dismissal of the case has expired and, accordingly, there is no further action pending in the putative shareholder class action. On February 14, 2014, William B. Federman, who claims to be a Merge Healthcare stockholder, filed a derivative complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against certain of our current and former directors and officers, asserting breaches of fiduciary duty arising out of materially the same conduct alleged in the purported securities class action complaints. Subsequently, two other derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois. On June 6, 2014, the judge assigned to the purported class action case granted our motion to reassign the two Federal derivative actions to her on the basis of relatedness and stayed the Federal derivative cases pending her ruling on our motion to dismiss the class action case. We are in discussions with the plaintiff in the State derivative case regarding disposition of the matter in light of the Court’s ruling to dismiss the putative class action. The Federal derivative cases remain dormant. At this time we believe the possibility of a loss in these matters to be remote.
 
In addition to the matters discussed above, we are involved in various legal matters that are in the process of litigation or settled in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on Merge’s financial condition. Professional legal fees are expensed when incurred. We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Should we fail to prevail in any legal matter or should several legal matters be resolved against us in the same reporting period, such matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows for that particular period.

Transactions with Related Party
 
As of June 30, 2015, Merrick Ventures, LLC (“Merrick Ventures”) and Merrick Venture Management Holdings, LLC (“Merrick Holdings”), beneficially owned approximately 24.0% of our outstanding common stock. Michael W. Ferro, Jr., the chairman of the board of directors of Merge Healthcare, and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Ferro’s family members beneficially own a majority of the equity interests in Merrick Ventures and Merrick Holdings. Mr. Ferro serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of each of Merrick Holdings and of Merrick Ventures. Accordingly, Mr. Ferro indirectly controls all of the shares of common stock in Merge Healthcare owned by Merrick Holdings and Merrick Ventures.
 
On May 29, 2015, we entered into a letter agreement (“Agreement”) with Merrick Ventures providing for the reinstatement and amendment of a consulting agreement between us and Merrick RIS, LLC, an affiliate of Merge Healthcare and Merrick Ventures, which had expired on December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Merrick Ventures will, for a term of 12 months (the “Term”), provide services to us that include, but are not limited to: product development, strategic planning, industry marketing, investor relations, turn around management and various business relationship introductions.
 
In consideration for these services, we will pay Merrick Ventures a one-time cash fee of $15,000 should we, during the Term (or, if the Agreement is terminated by us other than for cause as determined in good faith by our board of directors, then within 12 months of such termination) consummate, or enter into a definitive agreement to consummate and subsequently consummate, a merger, consolidation, business combination, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our equity interests or assets in one transaction or a series of transactions (a “Transaction”) that is at least $1,000,000. The Transaction value is calculated as the total proceeds and other consideration paid or received, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Transaction by us or our stockholders or creditors or any of our affiliates, including the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding debt, pension liabilities, guarantees and any of our other liabilities or obligations, reduced by our cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we will reimburse Merrick Ventures for actual and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the services.

Income Taxes
 
We are subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions and record income tax expense on an interim basis using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The estimated annual effective tax rate is modified to exclude the effect of losses for those jurisdictions where the tax benefit cannot be recognized and a separate estimated annual tax rate is required. Items discrete to a specific quarter are reflected in tax expense for that period. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. Further limitations may apply to deferred tax assets if certain ownership changes occur.

We evaluate our deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. GAAP requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, we reversed a portion of the tax valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets related to U.S. consolidated federal and state jurisdictions. The release of this valuation allowance is a result of our acquisition of DR Systems. The acquisition included additional sources of taxable income such as the reversal of temporary differences that are available to offset deferred tax assets of the acquiring company in future periods. The net income impact of the tax valuation allowance release was a tax benefit of approximately $16,555.

 Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders of Merge
 
We apply the two-class method of calculating basic net income per share. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by Preferred Stock dividends and dividend equivalents related to Preferred Stock accretion and residual earnings are allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their participation rights. Our Preferred Stock is a participating security and shares in common stock dividends if declared. The Preferred Stock was not outstanding in the comparable prior year periods.
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted for the effects of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents which are comprised of; stock options, except for stock options with an exercise price of more than the average market price of our common stock during the period as such exercise would be anti-dilutive, restricted stock awards assuming the potential lapse of restrictions using the treasury stock method and convertible Preferred Stock using the if-converted method or the treasury stock method, whichever produces the greater dilution. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share.

Segment Information
 
We have two operating groups which constitute reportable operating segments: Merge Healthcare and Merge DNA. Merge Healthcare includes the assets and results of DR Systems from the date of acquisition. We evaluate the performance of these operating groups based on their respective revenues and operating income, which exclude public company costs, certain corporate costs (amortization expense that is not specific to a segment), net interest expense and income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements or on our disclosures. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 also adds Subtopic 340-40 Other Assets and Deferred Costs‒Contracts with Customers. The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires retrospective application either, a) to each prior period presented, or, b) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
The discussion below contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have used words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “could,” “plans,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “intends,” “estimates” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities and the timing of certain events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, those matters discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update such factors or to publicly announce the results of any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events, developments, or changed circumstances, or for any other reason. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is presented in the following order:
 
· Overview
· Business Segments
· Results of Operations
· Liquidity and Capital Resources
· Material Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
· Critical Accounting Policies

Overview
 
We develop enterprise imaging software solutions that facilitate the sharing of images to create a more effective and efficient electronic healthcare experience for patients and physicians. Our solutions are designed to help solve some of the most difficult challenges in health information exchange today, such as the incorporation of medical images and diagnostic information into broader healthcare IT applications, the interoperability of proprietary software solutions, and the ability to improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of our customers’ businesses. We believe that our ability to innovate has driven consistent expansion of solutions and services and entry into new markets. Our solutions optimize processes for healthcare providers ranging in size from single provider practices to large health systems, to the sponsors of clinical trials and medical device manufacturers.
 
We operate under two reportable segments: Merge Healthcare and Merge DNA. We evaluate the performance of each operating segment based on its respective revenues and operating income.
 
Our Merge Healthcare segment represents approximately 90% of our total revenues and markets, sells and implements interoperability, imaging and clinical solutions to healthcare providers. It generates revenue from the licensing of software (including upgrades), the sale of hardware, professional services, maintenance and electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services. This segment includes D.R. Systems, Inc. (“DR Systems”), which was acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Segment results for the six months ended June 30, 2015, include four months of operations for DR Systems, which contributed $12.5 million of net sales and $0.9 million of net income to the overall segment results.
 
Our Merge DNA (“Data and Analytics”) segment represents approximately 10% of our total revenues. This segment derives the vast majority of its revenue from software, through both on-premise licensing and hosting arrangements, and professional services. Commencing in 2015, all revenues for Merge DNA comes from clinical trials. During 2014, Merge DNA completed a two year exit from the low margin health station business and achieved added profitability from the new clinical trials platform (“eCOS”), which takes much less professional services to configure and generates the vast majority of its revenue from transaction-based activities.
 
18

On February 25, 2015, we acquired 91.5% of the common stock of DR Systems and on April 17, 2015, we acquired the remaining shares of common stock. We used $49.4 million of net proceeds received from the private placement of 50,000 newly-issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) and $20.4 million of cash on hand, to fund the acquisition of DR Systems for $70.1 million, net of cash acquired. The Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 8.5% per annum, payable in cash on a quarterly basis. As a result of the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the comparability of the results of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, differs from the same periods in 2014. At the end of March 2015, we completed a restructuring initiative focused on the elimination of redundant positions. This initiative enabled us to decrease general and administrative costs as well as product research and development costs as a percentage of revenue through a reduction of 6% of headcount across the organization.  We expect to fully recognize the cost savings benefit of this initiative in the statements of operations by September 30, 2015. In the three months ended June 30, 2015, we realized expense reductions of $0.8 million.

The majority of total net sales continue to be generated through perpetual license agreements with our customers. Under perpetual license agreements, the software, hardware and professional services are considered to be sources of non-recurring revenue. Subscription-based pricing arrangements involve fees that are payable by our customers and revenue recognized by us over a number of years, including leases, clinical trials software-as-a-service, certain interoperability solutions, and renewable annual software contracts (with very high renewal rates).

Net Sales

Software and Other Net Sales. Total software and other net sales in 2015 were $22.7 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 25.8%, from $18.0 million in 2014. Software and other net sales in the Merge Healthcare operating segment increased by $4.2 million, primarily driven by a 72% increase in perpetual software agreement bookings compared to the prior year. Software and hardware orders sold through perpetual software agreements in the Merge Healthcare segment are typically fulfilled, and revenue is recognized, in either the quarter signed or the following few quarters. Revenue recognized from software and other net sales may vary significantly on a quarterly basis.
 
Merge DNA segment net sales increased $0.5 million as compared to the prior year. Transaction-based software fees generated from the eCOS platform increased $1.4 million, or 43% from the prior year. The prior year includes $0.9 million of revenue from businesses exited in 2014.
 
Professional Services Net Sales. Total professional services net sales in 2015 were $10.0 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.7%, from $10.2 million in 2014. Net sales in the Merge DNA segment decreased $0.7 million, primarily as a result of the eCOS platform which results in a shift in revenue mix from services to software as it requires significantly less services to configure for customer use and such configuration can be performed by customers themselves. Merge Healthcare segment sales increased $0.6 million as a result of the overall increased bookings year-to-date. Revenue recognized from professional services net sales generally lags software and other net sales by one to three quarters due to the timing of when such services are performed compared to when the products are delivered.
 
Maintenance and EDI Net Sales. Total maintenance and EDI net sales in 2015 were $32.9 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 28.5%, from $25.6 million in 2014. Net sales in the Merge Healthcare segment increased $7.5 million, primarily due to $7.0 million of revenue from DR Systems.
 
21

Depreciation and Amortization – Cost of Sales
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 17.2%, to $2.0 million in 2015 from $1.7 million in 2014 mainly due to the amortization of intangibles associated with the DR Systems acquisition in 2015.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross Margin – Software and Other Net Sales. Gross margin on software and other net sales was $14.5 million in 2015, an increase of $5.6 million, or 62.7%, from $8.9 million in 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of software and other net sales increased to 64.1% in 2015 from 49.6% in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in the percentage of hardware sales, which produce lower margins than software. Hardware sales were 33.3% of software and other net sales in 2015 compared to 44.2% of software and other net sales in 2014. We expect gross margin on software and other net sales to fluctuate depending on the mix of sales among our products.
 
Gross Margin – Professional Service Net Sales. Gross margin on professional service net sales was $3.0 million in 2015, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 28.7%, from $4.2 million in 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of professional service net sales decreased to 29.6% in 2015 from 40.8% in 2014, primarily due to the billable utilization of our professional services resources as we made a conscious effort to maintain headcount in the Merge DNA segment to ensure customer satisfaction for clinical trials running on older platforms. As the majority of professional services costs are fixed, we expect gross margins to fluctuate depending on billable utilization of these resources.
 
Gross Margin – Maintenance and EDI Net Sales. Gross margin on maintenance and EDI net sales was $24.5 million in 2015, an increase of $5.7 million, or 30.3%, from $18.8 million in 2014. The increase in gross margin dollars in the Merge Healthcare segment was primarily generated by the acquisition of DR Systems, which had a similar gross margin as a percentage of net sales as the rest of the segment. Gross margin as a percentage of maintenance and EDI net sales was 74.4% in 2015, compared to 73.3% in 2014.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Sales and marketing expense increased $3.4 million, or 41.8%, to $11.5 million in 2015 from $8.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expense increased by 2.5% to 17.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation (including commissions and stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes of $2.0 million, which includes the costs from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Product Research and Development
 
Product research and development expense increased $1.3 million, or 17.9%, to $8.7 million in 2015 from $7.3 million in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in outsourced development costs of $0.9 million and compensation (including stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes of $0.4 million, which includes the costs from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems. We capitalized, and thus did not recognize as an expense, software development costs of $0.8 million in 2015 compared to $0.4 million in 2014. The increase in capitalized costs reduced the amount expensed during 2015 by $0.4 million. Product research and development expense as a percentage of net sales, decreased slightly to 13.2% in 2015 from 13.6% in 2014.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expense increased $1.6 million, or 25.1%, to $8.0 million in 2015 from $6.4 million in 2014. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.3%, from 11.9% in 2014 to 12.2% in 2015. Compensation expense (including stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes increased $0.7 million, which includes the costs from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Acquisition-Related Expenses
 
Acquisition-related expenses were $0.3 million in 2015 compared to zero in 2014. These expenses related primarily to the acquisition of DR Systems and to a lesser extent to other acquisition related activities.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million, or 5.7%, to $2.4 million in 2015 from $2.6 million in 2014.
 
22

Other Expense, Net
 
Other expense decreased $4.6 million, or 51.1%, to $4.4 million in 2015 from $9.0 million in 2014. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense in 2015 and a loss on extinguishment of debt and interest expense in 2014. During 2014, we refinanced our debt and incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.8 million.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense in 2015 was $2.7 million compared to $0.7 million in 2014. The income tax benefit or expense in any period primarily results from mix of profit or loss in our U.S. and Canadian operations compared to expected results for the full year, valuation allowance changes, state income taxes and the deferred effect of tax deductible goodwill amortization. The current period expense is primarily driven by DR Systems purchase accounting adjustments in the period, which caused a $1.8 million change in the release of a valuation allowance on our historical deferred tax assets. The purchase accounting adjustments reduced additional sources of taxable income which were available to realize existing deferred tax assets. Additionally, tax expense in 2015 includes tax expense from profitable Canadian operations, and interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Only state income taxes resulted in cash tax payments in each year. The effective income tax rate is volatile and may move up or down with changes in, among other items, operating income by jurisdiction and the results of changes in tax laws and regulations of the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate.

Net Sales

Software and Other Net Sales. Total software and other net sales in 2015 were $39.5 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 19.3%, from $33.1 million in 2014. Software and other net sales in the Merge Healthcare operating segment increased by $6.2 million, primarily driven by a 76% increase in perpetual software agreement bookings compared to the prior year. Software and hardware orders sold through perpetual software agreements in the Merge Healthcare segment are typically fulfilled, and revenue is recognized, in either the quarter signed or the following few quarters. Revenue recognized from software and other net sales may vary significantly on a quarterly basis.
 
Merge DNA segment net sales increased $0.2 million as compared to the prior year. Transaction-based software fees generated from the eCOS platform increased $2.0 million, or 43%, from the prior year. The prior year includes $2.0 million of revenue from businesses exited in 2014.
 
24

Professional Services Sales. Total professional services sales in 2015 were $19.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5.7%, from $20.7 million in 2014. Sales increased $0.6 million in the Merge Healthcare segment in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the increased bookings. Net sales in the Merge DNA segment decreased $1.8 million, primarily as a result of the eCOS platform which results in a shift in revenue mix from services to software as it requires significantly less services to configure for customer use and such configuration can be performed by customers themselves.  Revenue recognized from professional services net sales generally lags software and other net sales by one to three quarters due to the timing of when such services are performed compared to when the products are delivered.
 
Maintenance and EDI Sales. Total maintenance and EDI sales in 2015 were $61.0 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 19.8%, from $51.0 million in 2014. Net sales in the Merge Healthcare segment increased $10.6 million, primarily due to $9.6 million of revenue from DR Systems.
 
Depreciation and Amortization – Cost of Sales
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 5.3%, to $3.4 million in 2015 from $3.3 million in 2014 mainly due to the amortization of intangibles associated with the DR Systems acquisition in 2015.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross Margin – Software and Other Sales. Gross margin on software and other sales was $25.2 million in 2015, an increase of $7.2 million, or 40.4%, from $17.9 million in 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of software and other sales increased to 63.7% in 2015 from 54.1% in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in the percentage of hardware sales, which produce lower margins than software. Hardware sales were 32.3% of software and other net sales in 2015 compared to 39.7% of software and other net sales in 2014. We expect gross margin on software and other net sales to fluctuate depending on the mix of sales among our products.
 
Gross Margin – Professional Service Sales. Gross margin on professional service sales was $5.7 million in 2015, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 31.5%, from $8.3 million in 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of professional service sales decreased to 29.2% in 2015 from 40.2% in 2014, primarily due to the billable utilization of our professional services resources as we made a conscious effort to maintain headcount in the Merge DNA segment to ensure customer satisfaction for clinical trials running on older platforms. As the majority of professional services costs are fixed, we expect gross margins to fluctuate depending on billable utilization of these resources.
 
Gross Margin – Maintenance and EDI Sales. Gross margin on maintenance and EDI sales was $44.8 million in 2015, an increase of $7.6 million, or 20.6% from $37.2 million in 2014. The increase in gross margin dollars in the Merge Healthcare segment was primarily from the acquisition of DR Systems, which had a similar gross margin as a percentage of net sales as the rest of the segment. Gross margin as a percentage of maintenance and EDI net sales was 73.4% in 2015, compared to 72.9% in 2014
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Sales and marketing expense increased $4.4 million, or 27.1%, to $20.5 million in 2015 from $16.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expense increased by 1.7% to 17.1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation (including commissions and stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes of $3.0 million, which includes the costs from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Product Research and Development
 
Product research and development expense increased $2.0 million, or 13.2%, to $16.9 million in 2015 from $14.9 million in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in outsourced development costs of $1.0 million. In addition, compensation (including stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes increased by $0.8 million, which includes the costs from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems. We capitalized, and thus did not recognize as an expense, software development costs of $1.2 million in 2015 compared to $1.0 million in 2014. The increase in capitalized costs reduced the amount expensed during 2015 by $0.2 million. Product research and development expense as a percentage of net sales, decreased slightly to 14.1% in 2015 from 14.2% in 2014.
 
25

General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expense increased $1.8 million, or 12.8%, to $15.5 million in 2015 from $13.8 million in 2014. General and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 12.9% in 2015 compared to 13.1% in 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation (including stock-based compensation) and related benefits and taxes of $1.1 million, primarily from employees added through the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Acquisition-Related Expenses
 
Acquisition-related expenses were $0.7 million in 2015. These expenses related primarily to the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Restructuring and Other Expenses
 
Restructuring and other expenses were $1.2 million in 2015 compared to zero in 2014. The 2015 expense of $1.2 million was focused on an initiative to reduce duplicative costs as a result of the DR Systems acquisition.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.5 million, or 10.5%, to $4.5 million in 2015 from $5.0 million in 2014, due to assets that became fully amortized in the prior year partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets which were recognized in the acquisition of DR Systems.
 
Other Expense, Net
 
Other expense, net decreased to $8.9 million in 2015 from $13.2 million in 2014.  During 2014, we refinanced our debt and incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.8 million. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the interest rate we paid on our debt.
 
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
 
In 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $15.7 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.7 million in 2014. The income tax benefit or expense in any period primarily results from mix of profit or loss in our U.S. and Canadian operations compared to expected results for the full year, valuation allowance changes, state income taxes and the deferred effect of tax deductible goodwill amortization. The current period benefit is primarily driven by the release of a valuation allowance on the Company’s historical deferred tax assets. The acquisition of DR Systems generates additional sources of taxable income through the deferred tax liabilities recorded in purchase accounting which are available to realize existing deferred tax assets. The tax benefit in 2015 is net of tax expense from profitable Canadian operations, and interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Only state income taxes resulted in cash tax payments in each year. The effective income tax rate is volatile and may move up or down with changes in, among other items, operating income by jurisdiction and the results of changes in tax laws and regulations of the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
Our cash and cash equivalents were $20.6 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $42.5 million at December 31, 2014. We used $20.4 million of available cash and $49.4 million of net proceeds from the private placement of Preferred Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to fund the acquisition of DR Systems for $70.1 million, net of cash acquired. We paid $0.9 million of our $1.2 million restructuring costs during the three months ended June 30, 2015. We had a working capital deficit of $18.2 million at June 30, 2015, compared to working capital of $13.3 million at December 31, 2014. Our use of available cash during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to acquire DR Systems was the primary cause of this reduction in working capital.
 
26

Operating Cash Flows
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $8.4 million in 2015, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $14.6 million in 2014. Net income of $19.7 million in 2015 includes a deferred tax benefit of $16.0 million and non-cash expenses of $11.5 million. We paid out 2014 cash bonuses of $4.8 million in 2015. There were no bonus payments in the comparable period for 2014. Net loss in 2014 of $3.6 million includes non-cash expenses of $17.7 million.
 
Investing Cash Flows
 
Cash used in investing activities was $72.7 million in 2015 compared to $2.9 million in 2014. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of DR Systems for $70.1 million, net of cash acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
 
Financing Cash Flows
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $42.5 million in 2015, compared to cash used in financing activities of $7.3 million in 2014. We issued $50.0 million of Preferred Stock during 2015 in order to partially finance the acquisition of DR Systems. We paid Preferred Stock dividends of $1.5 million and incurred costs of $0.9 million related to the issuance of preferred stock and a waiver and amendment to our Credit Agreement. In addition, the repayment of principal on our term loans decreased by $2.7 million. During 2014, we voluntarily paid down our debt without penalty. In order to avoid penalties imposed under our current Credit Agreement for unscheduled principal payments, we have not made additional principal payments in 2015.

(1) Dividends payable on the Series A convertible preferred stock at 8.5% of accreted redemption value on an annual basis are included in this table through July 29, 2020, the next earliest probable date at which the preferred stock will become redeemable.
 
The above obligations include lease payments involving facilities that we use. We do not have any other significant long-term obligations, contractual obligations, lines of credit, standby letters of credit and guarantees, standby repurchase obligations or other commercial commitments. As of June 30, 2015, approximately $0.8 million of our cash balance was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We may be required to accrue and pay taxes if we choose to repatriate these funds.
 
General
 
We believe our current cash and cash equivalent balances will be sufficient to meet our operating, financing and capital requirements through at least the next 12 months, including interest and principal payments due under our Term Loan and dividends payable on our Preferred Stock. However, any projections of future cash inflows and outflows are subject to uncertainty. In the event that it is necessary to raise additional capital to meet our short term or long term liquidity needs, such capital may be raised through additional debt, equity offerings or sale of certain assets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. Furthermore, the number of shares of any new equity or equity-related securities that may be issued may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. In addition, the issuance of debt securities could increase the liquidity risk or perceived liquidity risk that we face. We cannot, however, be certain that additional financing, or funds from asset sales, will be available on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we will likely not be able to take advantage of opportunities, develop or enhance services or products or respond to competitive pressures. In particular, our uses of cash in 2015 and beyond will depend on a variety of factors such as the costs to implement our business strategy, the amount of cash that we are required to devote to defend and address any legal or regulatory proceedings, and potential merger and acquisition activities.

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates these estimates. We base our estimates and judgments on our experience, our current knowledge (including terms of existing contracts), our beliefs of what could occur in the future, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We have identified the following accounting policies and estimates as those that we believe are most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties: revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, intangible assets and goodwill, software development costs, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, guarantees and loss contingencies. There have been no significant changes in the three months ended June 30, 2015, in our method of application of these critical accounting policies. For a complete description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2014.

Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, as of June 30, 2015, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes with respect to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
 
Please refer to the detailed discussion regarding litigation set forth in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
 
Merge is involved in various legal matters that are in the process of litigation or settled in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, such matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows for a particular period.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
 
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the market price for our common stock.
