NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands except for share and per share data)
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation — These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ebix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Ebix or “the Company”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and accompanying notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire current year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Summary of significant accounting policies—

Revenue Recognition— We derive our revenue primarily from two sources: (1) software revenue, which includes software licenses and (2) professional and support services, which includes software development projects, subscription and transaction fees related to services delivered on an ASP basis, fees for hosting software, fees for software license maintenance, initial registration, and business process outsourcing revenue. Also included in professional and support services are fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to the Company’s customers with installed systems and those in the process of installing systems. As described below, significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions,” to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement. For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF 00-21), which provides criteria governing how to identify whether goods or services that are to be delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be accounted for separately. Deliverables are accounted for separately if they meet all of the following: a) the delivered items have stand-alone value to the customer; b) the fair value of any undelivered items can be reliably determined; and c) if the arrangement includes a general right of return, delivery of the undelivered items is probable and substantially controlled by the seller. To the extent arrangements contain multiple deliverables, the Company performs an analysis of the nature of the deliverables to determine to what extent the deliverables of the arrangement are governed by any higher level literature (as defined in EITF 00-21). EITF 00-21 recognizes arrangements that qualify for treatment under SOP 97-2 and certain arrangements that qualify for contract accounting (i.e. SOP 81-1) as falling under the definition of “higher level literature”.

The Company recognizes revenue for license fees from its software products upon delivery, provided that the fee is fixed and determinable, acceptance has occurred, collectibility is probable and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Management uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of an arrangement where fee information is documented. Revenue from third party software is derived from the licensing of third party software products in connection with sales of the Company’s software licenses and is generally recognized upon delivery together with the Company’s license revenue. Training, data conversion, installation, and consulting services are generally recognized as revenue when the services are performed and collectibility is probable. Revenue for maintenance and support service is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.

For arrangements containing multiple elements, revenue is recognized on delivered elements when vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value has been established on the undelivered elements, applying the residual method of SOP 98-9. Fair value is determined for each undelivered element based on the price charged for the sale of each element separately. In contracts that contain first year maintenance bundled with software fees, unbundling of maintenance is based on the price charged for renewal maintenance. Revenue for maintenance and support service is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.

5

---

Revenues related to ASP services and hosting arrangements, including monthly fees as well as any initial registration or setup fees and related custom programming, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition.” Transaction fees are recognized as revenue as the transactions occur. Transaction fees are generally billed in arrears each month and the revenue is recognized when the transactions are processed. Revenue is only recognized when collectiblity is probable.

Deferred revenue includes maintenance and support payments or billings that have been received or recorded prior to performance and, in certain cases, cash collections; amounts received under multi-element arrangements in which VSOE of undelivered elements does not exist; and initial registration fees and related service fees under hosting agreements. Revenue is recognized when VSOE of the undelivered elements is established, the elements are delivered, or the obligation to deliver the elements is extinguished.

Software arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance on Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required by the arrangement, provided that the fee is fixed and determinable, evidence of an arrangement exists and the recovery of any related asset is considered probable.

For business process outsourcing agreements, which include call center services, services are primarily performed on a time and material basis. Revenue is recognized when the service is performed.

New accounting pronouncements — In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions.  Recognition (Step 1) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.  Measurement (Step 2) is only addressed if Step 1 has been satisfied.  Under Step 2, the tax benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more likely than not to be realized upon final settlement.  As used in FIN 48, the term “more likely than not” is means that the likelihood of an occurrence is greater than 50%.  The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 as required.  There was no cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings related to the implementation of FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial statements.

Employee Stock Options— At June 30, 2007, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment”, applying the modified prospective method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company applied the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for its stock-based awards, and accordingly, recognized no compensation cost for its stock plans other than for its restricted stock awards. Under the modified prospective method, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that are subsequently vested, modified, repurchased or cancelled. Compensation expense recognized during 2007 and 2006 includes the portion vesting during the period for (1) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) and (2) all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No stock options were granted to employees during the first or second quarter of 2007 or 2006;

however, options were granted to Directors during the first quarter of 2006. Stock compensation expense of $42 and $16 was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $93 and $32 was recognized during the six-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 on existing stock options. As a result of the Company’s decision to adopt the modified prospective method, prior period results have not been restated.

Note 2. STOCK OPTIONS

There were no stock options granted during the first or second quarter of 2007.

On August 11, 2003, the Company granted 25,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock to Rahul Raina, the brother of the Chief Executive Officer, in connection with his joining the Company. The options vest over four years from the date of grant, expire ten years from the date of grant, and were issued with an exercise price below the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. In December 2006 these options were amended and the exercise price was increased from $2.85 per share to $6.70 per share, which is equal to the fair market value of the common stock underlying the stock options at the original grant date. This option grant was valued using SFAS 123(R), and the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $10 and $6 related to these options during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $21 and $12 related to these options during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has granted nonstatutory and incentive options outside the Company’s stock option plans to purchase up to an aggregate of  57,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which options to purchase 3,750 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2007. These options were granted at prices determined by the Board of Directors. The options have a four-year vesting period and must be exercised within ten years of the date of the grant. These options were granted prior to 2002, to persons who were not directors, officers or employees. These non-employee options were valued pursuant to SFAS 123. The majority of these options are performance-based awards, with no service commitment and subject to vesting only if the Company’s stock price reaches a certain target. At June 30, 2007, 2,812 of the shares subject to these non-employee options were vested.

Note 3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 A summary of stock option activity within the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:

The Company had 15,144 of stock options that were not vested at June 30, 2007 that were expensed in 1999. Additionally, the Company has 1,562 of unvested stock options that had been issued to Rahul Raina. At June 30, 2007, there was $75 of unrecognized compensation cost related to total nonvested stock options. This cost will be recognized over the two years ending December 31, 2008.

During 2000, the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase a total of 1,250 shares for which vesting is contingent upon increases in the Company’s stock price and other performance based measures, such as achieving specified revenues for new products. During 1999, the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase a total of 58,250 shares, for which vesting is contingent upon increases in the Company’s stock price and other performance based measures, such as achieving 
specified revenues for new products. For these options, vesting generally occurs when the Company’s stock price equals $72.00, $96.00, $120.00 and $160.00 per share. Since 2000, no incentive options were granted. The exercise price of each option, which has a ten-year life, is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. There was no compensation expense related to these options for the quarters or six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

During May 2007, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company gave final approval to award 8,501 shares of restricted stock to Robin Raina, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.  The award was made pursuant to the 2006 incentive compensation program (the “2006 Program”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  In accordance with the 2006 Program, the number of shares of restricted stock issued to Mr. Raina represents approximately 23% of the aggregate of the total salary and cash bonus compensation earned for 2006, divided by the market price of the Company’s stock on May 9, 2007, the date the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the restricted stock grant. The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $14  related to these shares during the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2007.

On February 3, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company gave final approval to awards of 8,354 shares of restricted stock to Robin Raina, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and 2,506 shares of restricted stock to Richard J. Baum, the Company’s then Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, under the Company’s 1996 Incentive Plan. The awards were made pursuant to a 2005 incentive compensation program (the “2005 Program”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. In accordance with the 2005 Program, the number of shares of restricted stock issued to each of Messrs. Raina and Baum represents 15% of the aggregate of the total salary and cash bonus compensation earned by each for 2005 (such aggregate compensation being $1,100 in the case of Mr. Raina and $330 in the case of Mr. Baum), divided by the market price of the Company’s stock on February 3, 2006, the date the Board approved the restricted stock grants. The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $14 for each of the quarters and $28 and $73 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On June 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company gave final approval to awards of 9,758 shares of restricted stock to Robin Raina, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and 4,382 shares of restricted stock to Richard J. Baum, the Company’s then Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, under the Company’s 1996 Incentive Plan. The awards were made pursuant to a 2004 incentive compensation program (the “2004 Program”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 4, 2004 (as described in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 9, 2004) and were subject to a determination by the Compensation Committee and the Board, after the Company’s release of its 2004 operating results, that such operating results were substantially consistent with the operating results of the Company for the first nine months of 2004, as they compared to those for the same period of the prior year (excluding executive incentive compensation). The Compensation Committee and the Board made such determination in April 2005, at which time the grants of the restricted stock (along with 2004 cash bonus compensation) were approved, subject to the Compensation Committee’s approval of certain terms of the restricted stock awards and of the forms of restricted stock agreements to represent such awards.

On June 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee approved such terms and forms of restricted stock agreements, and the shares of restricted stock were issued to each of Messrs. Raina and Baum on such date. In accordance with the 2004 Program, the number of shares of restricted stock issued to each of Messrs. Raina and Baum represents 10% of the aggregate of the total salary and cash bonus compensation earned by each for 2004 (such aggregate compensation being $1,013 in the case of Mr. Raina and $455 in the case of Mr. Baum), divided by the market price of the Company’s stock on April 11, 2005, the date the Board approved the restricted stock grants The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $8 for each of the quarters and $16 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Pursuant to the restricted stock agreements, the restricted stock vests in three equal annual installments. The restricted stock also vests with respect to any unvested shares upon the applicable officer’s death, Disability (as defined) or Retirement (as defined), the Company’s termination of the officer other than for Cause (as

defined) or a Change in Control (as defined) of the Company. If the officer terminates his employment other than due to death, Disability or Retirement or the Company terminates the officer’s employment for Cause, any unvested shares held by the officer will be forfeited. Mr. Baum’s restricted stock fully vested upon his retirement effective December 31, 2006.

Note 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is equal to net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 2,972,874 and 2, 910,925, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was 2,759,085 and 2,753,513, respectively. Diluted EPS is calculated as if the Company had additional common stock outstanding from the beginning of the year or the date of grant for all common stock equivalents, net of assumed repurchased shares using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS recognizes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is equal to net income divided by the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s common stock equivalents consisted of restricted stock and stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the effect of this calculation resulted in an increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 393,054 and 380,244, respectively. At June 30, 2007, the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 3,365,928 and 3,291,169, respectively. At June 30, 2006, the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 3,135,775 and 3,136,328, respectively. At June 30, 2007, there were 203,055 shares potentially issuable with respect to stock options, which could dilute EPS in the future but which were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their effect was antidilutive. At June 30, 2006, there were 291,145 shares potentially issuable with respect to stock options, which could dilute EPS in the future but which were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their effect was antidilutive.

The Share Purchase Agreement also included standard indemnification provisions whereby the Company agreed to indemnify Luxor Capital Partners LP and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the registration statement.  In addition, Luxor Capital Partners LP and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. agreed to indemnify the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that arise out of or are based any failure on the part of Luxor Capital Partners LP and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. to comply with specified covenants and agreements in the Share Purchase Agreement, the inaccuracy of any representations or warranties made by Luxor Capital Partners LP and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the registration statement furnished to the Company by Luxor Capital Partners LP and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd.

During the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, approximately $406 and $702, respectively was recognized as services revenue from Brit Insurance Holdings PLC (“Brit”) and its affiliates. The amounts represented 4% and 8%, of the Company’s total revenues for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Brit owned approximately 29% of the Company’s common stock as of  June 30, 2007.

Software Revenue - Total software revenue for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $101, or 24 %, to $327 from $428 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This decrease reflects management’s emphasis on increasing recurring services revenue.

Services and other costs - Cost of services revenue includes costs associated with support, call center, consulting, implementation and training services. Total services and other costs for the second quarter increased $359, or 26%, to $1,718  from $1,359 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This increase was due primarily to an increase in payroll expenses of $159 and facility costs of $186 primarily related to the acquisitions of Finetre and Infinity.

Product Development Expenses - Total product development expenses for the second quarter of 2007 increased $1,099, or 100%, to $2,198 from $1,099 for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Sales and Marketing Expenses - Total sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2007 increased $428, or 66%, to $1,078 from $650 for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses - Total general and administrative expenses for the second quarter decreased ($98), or 5%, to $1,899 from $1,997 for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Amortization and Depreciation Expenses — Total amortization and depreciation expenses for the second quarter increased $208, or 50 %, to $625 from $417 for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the increase in depreciation and amortization of intangibles related to the acquisitions of Finetre and Infinity.

Income tax expense— The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007 was lower than the rate for the comparable quarter of the prior year due to a different income mix among the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company does business.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting revenue of $238.

During the first six months of 2007 and 2006, approximately $984  and $1,415, respectively was recognized as services revenue from Brit Insurance Holdings PLC (“Brit”) and its affiliates.

Total software revenue for the first six months of 2007 decreased $282, or 30 %, to $643 from $925 for the comparable first six months of the prior year.

General and Administrative Expenses - Total general and administrative expenses for the first six months increased $325, or 9%, to $3,686 from $3,361 for the comparable first six months of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,640 at June 30, 2007, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $5,013 at December 31, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company generated operating cash flow of $3,806 as compared to $1,564 of operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The cash flow from operations in the six months ended June 30, 2007 is principally due to a growth in net income less a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including payroll) of $977, an increase in net accounts receivable of $1,761, plus an increase in deferred revenue of $766 and an increase depreciation and amortization of $1,250. These balance sheet fluctuations are normal consequences of timing differences between accruals and their cash settlement.

Cash used in investing activities of $335 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 represented expenditures made primarily related to the purchase of fixed assets

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, 5% of the Company’s total revenues were from Brit and its affiliates. Brit does not have a long-term agreement with the Company that provides certainty that such revenues and related cash flows will be recurring.

The Company maintains a revolving line of credit facility with LaSalle Bank N.A. During 2006, the line of credit was increased from $5,000 to $12,000. The line provides for a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR + 1.50% and is secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. In connection with the Finetre acquisition, the Company borrowed $11,000 on the line of credit, of which $11,000 has been repaid. At June 30, 2007, the balance of the line of credit was $0. The current interest rate on this line is 6.82%. The line of credit matures on August 31, 2007.  The line of credit contains certain financial covenants related to profitability, current assets and debt coverage.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Finetre, Ebix paid Finetre shareholders $13,000 for substantially all Finetre stock, and Finetre shareholders retain the right to earn up to $3,000 in additional payments over two years if certain revenue and operating income targets earned from Finetre services are met. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash on hand of $2,000 and $11,000 from the Company’s line of credit.

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Infinity. The operations of Infinity have been included in the Company’s financial statements since that date. The Company acquired these assets for an upfront payment of $2,900 in cash and a potential future payment not exceeding $4,500 in cash if Infinity related services meet certain future revenue targets. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash on hand.

In planning for its capital needs, the Company takes into account its sources of cash, which include operating cash flow, cash balances and funds from credit facilities, and anticipated future cash needs, which include working capital requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and expenditures for business acquisitions. Presently, the Company expects to renew the line of credit when it matures in August 2007 or refinance the amount outstanding with long term debt. Based on these considerations, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash from operations and credit facilities to satisfy its contractual obligations, including contingent payments from prior acquisitions, for at least the next several years. In order for the Company to make future acquisitions, it may be necessary to raise additional capital, either through equity or debt transactions.

Item 3.                          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to certain market risks, including foreign currency and interest rates. The majority of the Company’s operations are based in the U.S. and, accordingly, the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we have foreign-based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Currently, the Company has operations in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada and India, and conducts transactions in the local currencies of each location. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, revenues or financial condition. The net change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment was an unrealized gain  of $122 and $46 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $127 and $88 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company considered the historical trends in currency exchange rate and determined that it was reasonably possible that adverse changes in exchange rates of 20% for all currencies could be experienced in the near term. Such adverse changes would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before taxes of approximately $195 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and a positive impact on income before taxes of approximately $61 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Such adverse changes would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before taxes of approximately $291 and $166 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There has been no material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk during the six months ended June 30, 2007. For additional information on interest rate risk, refer to the “Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
