Business. Overview Agilysys is a leading technology company that provides innovative software for point-of-sale (POS), property management, inventory and procurement, workforce management, analytics, document management and mobile and wireless solutions and services to the hospitality industry. Our solutions and services allow property managers to better connect, interact and transact with their customers and enhance their customer relationships by streamlining operations, improving efficiency, increasing guest recruitment and wallet share, and enhancing the overall guest experience. We serve four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services. We operate throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The sales of our RSG business and UK entity each represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of RSG and the UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Our principal executive offices are located at 425 Walnut Street, Suite 1800, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202 and our corporate services are located at 1000 Windward Concourse, Suite 250, Alpharetta, Georgia, 30005. Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within our fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2015 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. History and Significant Events Organized in 1963 as Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc., an Ohio corporation, we began operations as a distributor of electronic components and, later, enterprise computer solutions. Exiting the former in fiscal 2003 with the sale of our Industrial Electronic Division, we used the proceeds to reduce debt, fund growth of our enterprise solutions business and acquire businesses focused on higher-margin and more specialized solutions for the hospitality and retail industries. At the same time, we changed our name to Agilysys, Inc. In fiscal 2004, we acquired Kyrus Corporation and became the leading provider of IBM retail solutions and services in the supermarket, chain drug, general retail, and hospitality segments. In that same year, the acquisition of Inter-American Data, Inc. allowed us to become the leading developer and provider of technology solutions for property and inventory management in the casino and resort industries. In calendar 2007, we divested KeyLink Systems and exited the enterprise computer distribution business. We used the proceeds from that sale to return cash to shareholders and fund a number of acquisitions that broadened our solutions and capabilities portfolios. We acquired InfoGenesis and Visual One Systems Corp. in calendar 2007, significantly expanding our specialized offerings to the hospitality industry through enterprise-class, POS and software solutions tailored for a variety of applications in cruise, golf, spa, gaming, lodging, resort, and catering. These offerings feature highly intuitive, secure and robust solutions, easily scalable across multiple departments or property locations. In fiscal 2008, we began reporting three primary operating segments: Hospitality Solutions Group (HSG), Retail Solutions Group (RSG) and Technology Solutions Group (TSG). In fiscal 2012, we sold our TSG segment and restructured our business model to focus on higher-margin, profitable growth opportunities in the hospitality and retail sectors. We also reduced our real-estate footprint and lowered overhead costs by relocating corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, thus moving our senior management team closer to our operating units. On June 10, 2013, we acquired the assets of TimeManagement Corporation, a privately-owned Minneapolis-based provider of enterprise-wide software and service solutions that streamline workforce management environments for hospitality operators. 4 On July 1, 2013, we completed the sale of our RSG business to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. Following completion of the transaction, our business focused exclusively on hospitality solutions and the growth opportunities in the hospitality market. On March 31, 2014, we completed the sale of our United Kingdom business entity (UK entity) to Verteda Limited (Verteda), led by the Company’s former European management team. In connection with the sale, we have entered into a multi-year distribution agreement, whereby Verteda distributes certain Agilysys products within the U.K. marketplace. We continue to manage all property management system accounts as well as key global accounts in the EMEA market. Today, we are focused on providing state-of-the-art, end-to-end solutions that enhance guest experiences and allow our customers to promote their respective brands. We help our customers win the guest recruitment battle and, in turn, grow revenue, reduce costs and increase efficiency. This is accomplished by developing and deploying intuitive solutions that increase speed and accuracy, thereby enabling more effective management, intelligent upselling, reduced shrinkage, improved brand recognition and better control of the customer relationship. Our strategy is to increase the proportion of revenue we derive from ongoing support and maintenance agreements, software as a subscription services, cloud applications and professional services. Products, Support and Professional Services We are a leading developer and marketer of software enabled solutions and services to the hospitality industry, including: hardware and software products; support, maintenance and subscription services; and, professional services. Areas of specialization are POS, property management, inventory and procurement, workforce management, and mobile and wireless solutions designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency and enhance the guest experience. We present revenue and costs of goods sold in three categories: • • • Products (hardware and software) Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total revenue from continuing operations for these three specific areas is as follows: (In thousands) Products Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total Products: Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 2013 $ $ 31,846 $ 56,013 15,655 103,514 $ 34,629 $ 53,169 13,463 101,261 $ 31,030 49,110 13,868 94,008 The hospitality industry has long been focused on operating an end-to-end business, but the technology vendors that serviced the industry have been focused on product-centric solutions that make use of a high number of software modules and operating silos. We have evolved our approach to the industry to an integrated "platform" centric solutions for Lodging, Food & Beverage and Payments applications that looks to leverage the entire business, by investing in the development of an web services oriented architecture enterprise platform.

The hospitality industry encompasses a wide variety of market sectors and customers. We operate throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Sales to customers outside of the United States represent approximately 5% of total sales. 10 The hospitality industry is highly fragmented and composed by a number of defined markets including lodging, casinos, cruise ships, resorts and spas, franchise operators, restaurant chains, stadiums, and arenas, among others. For example, in the lodging segment, no single hotel brand accounts for more than 4% of all hotel rooms in the United States. According to Smith Travel Research, the U.S. lodging industry generated approximately $133 billion in room revenue in calendar 2014, with an average of approximately 64.4% of approximately 4.9 million available rooms occupied. This compares with 62.3% in 2013 and eclipses the prior market-cycle peak occupancy rate of 63.1% in 2006. Travelers booked a record 1.2 billion U.S. room nights in 2014, up approximately 4% from 2013. The hospitality business is sensitive to the strength of domestic and global economic and credit conditions. Business and destination resort travel are highly correlated with the economic conditions in their respective markets. Competition is intense for consumer spending, and hospitality industry participants are seeking ways to increase their visibility and appeal as well as enhance the experience of their guests. Our products and solutions are meant to leverage the opportunity these challenges create by providing our customers with higher degree of guest connectivity and added engagement tools that will enable them to capitalize on their brand equity better and more profitably manage their operations, and grow their business. In addition to bespoke product solutions that are designed and customized to meet unique facility or multi-facility needs, we also provide an array of support and subscription options geared towards maintaining systems and professional services for implementation and rollouts. We have a significant customer base in the commercial casino and gaming sector. According to the American Gaming Association, over 30% of the U.S. adult population visited a casino at least once in 2012. Amenities in contemporary casinos extend well beyond gaming to include a variety of entertainment and leisure options as well as modern convention centers and meeting facilities to attract the corporate market. International gaming markets are growing rapidly both in size and new jurisdictions. Asian gaming markets continue to generate robust growth. Gross gaming revenue in Macau exceeds that of the Las Vegas Strip, with a number of the current and planned properties in the region operated by U.S.-based companies. As the market share leader in providing PMS systems to casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, we are well positioned to benefit from these strong and long-standing relationships as our customer base expands into international markets. Additionally, as gaming operators migrate toward cashless operations and digital track-and- log of unique guest behavior, we are able to provide the requisite technologies and expertise to satisfy their needs. We also have expertise in serving the unique needs of Cruise ship operators. Guests and potential customers are expecting an experience that reflects their unique tastes, preferences and travel habits and cruise operators have seen the need to adequately support the increasing level of personalization and detail required to capture the highest level of guest satisfaction. Our products and services can best help them to deliver on this critical part of their business. According to the Cruise Lines International Association and Cruise Market Watch, cruise lines continued the growth trends of recent years in 2014. The worldwide cruise ship fleet currently stands at 298 ships and the current order book, covering 2015-2020, includes 55 new builds. The industry carried over 21.5 million passengers in 2014, up from nearly 21 million passengers in 2013. Customers Our customers include large, medium-sized and boutique companies, and divisions or departments of large corporations in the hospitality industry. We concentrate on serving the needs of customers in a range of customer-focused settings where brand differentiation is important, particularly in the lodging, casino, destination resort, cruise line, foodservice industries where competition for guest recruitment is intense. Our current customer base is highly fragmented, with no single customer representing more than 10% of consolidated revenue from continuing operations. Seasonality We have traditionally experienced seasonal revenue weakness during our fiscal first quarter ending June 30. Additionally, the timing of large one-time orders, such as those associated with significant remarketed product sales around large customer refresh cycles or significant volume rollouts, occasionally creates volatility in our quarterly results. Competition Our solutions face a highly competitive market. Competition exists with respect to developing and maintaining relationships with customers, pricing for products and solutions, and customer support and service. We compete with other full-service providers that sell and service bundled POS and PMS solutions comprised of hardware, software, support and services. These companies, some of which are much larger than we are, include MICROS Systems, Inc., NCR, Par Technology and Infor. We also compete with software companies like IDeaS Revenue Solutions, POSitouch, Northwind and Xpient Solutions. In addition, we compete with PMS systems that are designed and maintained in-house by large hotel chains. 11 Environmental Matters We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws. Presently, we do not anticipate that such compliance will have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position with respect to any of our operations. Employees As of May 22, 2015, we had 504 employees. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, have had no strikes or work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good.

Risks Relating to Our Business Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products, product upgrades and services that achieve market acceptance. Our business is characterized by rapid and continual changes in technology and evolving industry standards. We believe that in order to remain competitive in the future we will need to continue to develop new products, product upgrades and services, requiring the investment of significant financial resources. If we fail to accurately anticipate our customer's needs and technological trends, or are otherwise unable to complete the development of a product or product upgrade on a timely basis, we will be unable to introduce new products or product upgrades into the market on a timely basis, if at all, and our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected. The development process for most new products and product upgrades is complicated, involves a significant commitment of time and resources and is subject to a number of risks and challenges including: • Managing the length of the development cycle for new products and product enhancements, which has frequently been longer than we originally expected; • • Adapting to emerging and evolving industry standards and to technological developments by our competitors and customers; and Extending the operation of our products and services to new and evolving platforms, operating systems and hardware products, such as mobile devices. If we are not successful in managing these risks and challenges, or if our new products, product upgrades, and services are not technologically competitive or do not achieve market acceptance, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Continuing challenging global economic conditions could adversely affect our business and financial results. Global economic conditions continue to be challenging. Our revenue and profitability depend significantly on general economic conditions and the level of capital available to our customers. Our business trends and revenue growth continue to be affected by the challenging economic climate. These difficult economic conditions and the uncertainty about future economic conditions may adversely affect our customers' level of spending, ability to obtain financing for purchases, ability to make timely payments to us and adoption of new technologies, which could require us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, negatively impact our days sales outstanding, lead to increased price competition and adversely affect our results of operations. We face extensive competition in the markets in which we operate, and our failure to compete effectively could result in price reductions and/or decreased demand for our products and services. 12 Several companies offer products and services similar to ours. The rapid rate of technological change in the hospitality market makes it likely we will face competition from new products designed by companies not currently competing with us. We believe our competitive ability depends on our product offerings, our experience in the hospitality industry, our product development and systems integration capability, and our customer service organization. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to compete effectively in the hospitality technology market in the future. We compete for customers based on several factors, including price. In some cases, we may have to reduce our pricing to obtain business. If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our products and services, our profit margin and our profitability could suffer. If we fail to meet our customers' performance expectations, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to legal liability. Our ability to attract and retain customers depends to a large extent on our relationships with our customers and our reputation for high quality professional services and integrity. As a result, if a customer is not satisfied with our services or solutions, our reputation may be damaged. Moreover, if we fail to meet our clients' performance expectations, we may lose clients and be subject to legal liability, particularly if such failure adversely impacts our clients' businesses. In addition, many of our projects are critical to the operations of our customers' businesses. While our contracts typically include provisions designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our products and services, these provisions may not adequately protect us or may not be enforceable in all cases. The general liability insurance coverage that we maintain, including coverage for errors and omissions, is subject to important exclusions and limitations. We cannot be certain that this coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co- insurance requirements, could adversely affect our profitability. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our software products may result in reduced sales or liabilities. Our software may be used in connection with processing sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers). It may be possible for the data to be compromised if our customer does not maintain appropriate security procedures. In those instances, the customer may attempt to seek damages from us. While we believe that all of our current software complies with applicable industry security requirements and that we take appropriate security measures to reduce the possibility of breach through our support and other systems, we cannot assure that our customers' systems will not be breached, or that all unauthorized access can be prevented. If a customer, or other person, seeks redress from us as a result of a security breach, our business could be adversely affected. Our cloud-based solutions present execution and competitive risks. Our solutions offered in the cloud accessible via the web without hardware installation or software downloads present new and difficult technology challenges. These offerings depend on integration of third-party hardware, software and cloud hosting vendors working together with our products. As a result, we may be subject to claims if customers experience service disruptions, breaches or other quality issues related to our cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based platform and software applications presents increased security risks. As we expand our cloud-based platform and software hosting capabilities, including our rGuest products, and offer more of our software applications to our customers on a cloud-based basis, our responsibility for data and system security with respect to data held in our hosting centers increases significantly. While we believe that our current platform, software applications and data centers comply with applicable laws and industry security requirements, and while we believe that we use appropriate security measures to reduce the possibility of unauthorized access or misuse of data in the data centers, we cannot provide absolute assurance that our cloud-based applications will not be breached, or that all unauthorized access can be prevented. If a security breach were to occur, a customer, regulatory agency, or other person could seek redress from us, which could adversely affect our business. We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology. Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights would diminish or eliminate the competitive advantages that we derive from our proprietary technology. 13 We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. While we do not believe that our products and services infringe any patents or other intellectual property rights, from time to time, we receive claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products sold by us infringe three patents owned by Ameranth. This lawsuit and any other such claim, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and distract management from day-to-day operations. If we are found liable, we could be obligated to pay significant damages or enter into license agreements. We are subject to litigation, which may be costly. As a company that does business with many customers, employees and suppliers, we are subject to litigation. The results of such litigation are difficult to predict, and we may incur significant legal expenses if any such claim were filed. While we generally take steps to reduce the likelihood that disputes will result in litigation, litigation is very commonplace and could have an adverse effect on our business. Our dependence on certain strategic partners makes us vulnerable to the extent we rely on them. We rely on a concentrated number of vendors for the majority of our hardware and for certain software and related services needs. We do not have long term agreements with many of these vendors. If we can no longer obtain these hardware, software or services needs from our major suppliers due to mergers, acquisitions or consolidation within the marketplace, material changes in their partner programs, their refusal to continue to supply to us on reasonable terms or at all, and we cannot find suitable replacement suppliers, it may have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and gross margins. If we acquire new businesses, we may not be able to successfully integrate them or attain the anticipated benefits. As part of our operating history and growth strategy, we have acquired other businesses. In the future, we may continue to seek acquisitions. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire targeted businesses or obtain financing for such acquisitions on satisfactory terms. The process of integrating acquired businesses into our operations may result in unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention. If integration of our acquired businesses is not successful, we may not realize the potential benefits of an acquisition or suffer other adverse effects. If we fail to retain key employees, our business may be harmed. Our success depends on the skill, experience and dedication of our employees. If we are unable to retain and attract sufficiently experienced and capable personnel, especially in product development, sales and management, our business and financial results may suffer. For example, if we are unable to retain and attract a sufficient number of skilled technical personnel, our ability to develop high quality products and provide high quality customer service may be impaired. Experienced and capable personnel in the technology industry remain in high demand, and there is continual competition for their talents. When talented employees leave, we may have difficulty replacing them, and our business may suffer. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully retain and attract the personnel that we need. We may incur goodwill, intangible asset and capitalized software development impairment charges that adversely affect our operating results. We review our goodwill, intangible assets and capitalized software development costs for impairment on at least an annual basis. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded $2.0 million in asset impairment charges related to an indefinite lived purchased trade name that was determined to be finite life and the determination that certain capitalized software development costs would no longer yield significant future cash flows. Our future operating results and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected if we are required to further write down the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets or capitalized software development in the future. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. While we believe our internal control over financial reporting is effective, a controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. 14 We have encountered risks associated with maintaining large cash balances. While we have attempted to invest our cash balances in investments generally considered to be relatively safe, we nevertheless confront credit and liquidity risks. Bank failures could result in reduced liquidity or the actual loss of money held in deposit accounts in excess of federally insured amounts, if any. We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities. Some of our products and services may be subject to sales taxes in states where we have not collected and remitted such taxes from our customers. We have reserves for certain state sales tax contingencies based on the likelihood of obligation. These contingencies are included in “Accrued liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe we have appropriately accrued for these contingencies. In the event that actual results differ from these reserves, we may need to make adjustments, which could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our business may be impacted by the recent bankruptcy filing of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. On January 12, 2015, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (Caesars) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 15, 2015, Caesars and certain of its affiliates filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11. Those cases have been consolidated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. At March 31, 2015, our accounts receivables owing by Caesars and its affiliates who have filed a bankruptcy petition totaled approximately $3.2 million, including both pre- and post-petition claims. The total amount owed as of March 31, 2015 represents approximately 13% of our outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015. As of May 26, 2015, we filed a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims still outstanding. Caesars entertainment properties have continued to operate in the ordinary course following the bankruptcy filing, and we have continued to do business with Caesars in the ordinary course. Our business with Caesars is subject to a number of risks, including our ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable, as well as the risks that Caesars’ bankruptcy restructuring may not be successful, or that Caesars ceases normal operations or seeks to renegotiate its existing obligations through bankruptcy protection or otherwise. Risks Relating to the Industries We Serve Our business depends to a significant degree on the hospitality industry and a weakening could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Because our customer base is concentrated in the hospitality industry, our business is largely dependent on the health of that industry. Our sales are dependent in large part on the health of the hospitality industry, which in turn is dependent on the domestic and international economy. Instabilities or downturns in the hospitality industry could disproportionately impact our revenue, as clients may exit the industry or delay, cancel or reduce planned expenditures for our products. A general downturn in the hospitality industry could disproportionately impact our revenue, as clients may exit the industry or delay, cancel or reduce planned expenditures for our products. Higher oil and gas prices worldwide could have a material adverse impact on the hospitality industry, and indirectly, on our business. Material increases in oil and gas prices tend to reduce discretionary spending by consumers, such as on travel and dining, as well as on retail spending generally. Reductions in discretionary spending by consumers adversely affect our customers and, indirectly, our business. Moreover, increases in oil and gas prices also directly adversely affect our customer base in other ways. For example, oil and gas price increases can result in higher ingredient and food costs for our restaurant customers. Consolidation in the hospitality industry could adversely affect our business. Customers that we serve may seek to achieve economies of scale and other synergies by combining with or acquiring other companies. The hospitality industry has experienced recent consolidations, including the hotel and casino sectors of the industry. Although recent consolidations in the hospitality industry have not materially adversely affected our business, there is no assurance that future consolidations will not have such affect. For example, if one of our current customers merges or consolidates with a company that relies on another provider's products or services, it could decide to reduce or cease its purchases of products or services from us, which could have an adverse effect our business. 15 Our stock has been volatile and we expect that it will continue to be volatile. Risks Relating to Our Stock Our stock price has been volatile, and we expect it will continue to be volatile. For example, during the year ended March 31, 2015, the trading price of our common stock ranged from a high of $15.02 to a low of $9.39. The volatility of our stock price may be due to factors other than those specific to our business, such as economic news or other events generally affecting the trading markets. Additionally, our ownership base has been and may continue to be concentrated in a few shareholders, which could increase the volatility of our common share price over time. Our largest shareholder, MAK Capital, currently holds approximately 31% of our common shares, which could impact corporate policy and strategy, and MAK Capital's interests may differ from those of other shareholders. Pursuant to the approval by shareholders of a control share acquisition proposal, MAK Capital holds approximately 31% of our outstanding common shares. As a significant shareholder whose responses could potentially affect the interests of Agilysys and the other shareholders, our Board may consider MAK Capital's potential response to a particular decision of the Board in considering the range of possible corporate policies and strategies in the future, potentially influencing corporate policy and strategic planning. MAK entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with Computershare, as trustee, which provides that, for both strategic and other transactions requiring at least two-thirds of the voting power to approve, the trustee will vote a certain percentage of MAK Capital's shares in favor of, against, or abstaining from voting in the same proportion as all other shares voted by shareholders (including MAK Capital's shares not being voted by the trustee). If the Voting Trust Agreement, as amended, that MAK entered into with Computershare were to terminate for any reason, MAK Capital would have a level of control that would highly influence the approval or disapproval of transactions requiring under Ohio law the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding common shares, such as a business combination, or majority share acquisition involving the issuance of common shares entitling the holders to exercise one- sixth or more of the voting power of our common shares, each of which requires approval by two-thirds of the outstanding common shares. MAK Capital might also be able to initiate or substantially assist any such transaction. Even with the limitations on MAK Capital's voting power imposed by the Voting Trust Agreement, as amended, it would be more difficult for the other shareholders to approve such a transaction if MAK Capital opposed it, and MAK Capital's interests may differ from those of other shareholders. 16 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None. Item 2. Properties. Our corporate services are located in Alpharetta, Georgia where we lease approximately 23,000 square feet of office space. In addition, we lease approximately 34,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada and 10,895 square feet of office space in Bellevue, Washington. Our major leases contain renewal options for periods of up to 10 years. We believe that our current facilities and office space are sufficient to meet our needs and do not anticipate any difficulty securing additional space as needed. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We are involved in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of any current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products, software, components and/or systems sold by us infringe three patents owned by Ameranth purporting to cover generation and synchronization of menus, including restaurant menus, event tickets, and other products across fixed, wireless and/or internet platforms as well as synchronization of hospitality information and hospitality software applications across fixed, wireless and internet platforms. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter. On July 9, 2012, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging violations of federal and state wage and hour laws, rules and regulations pertaining primarily to pay for missed meals and rest periods and failure to reimburse business expenses. On May 19 2014, the court approved a settlement of the lawsuit pursuant to which we paid a gross settlement in the amount of approximately $1.5 million, which was included in "Accrued Liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the lawsuit was dismissed. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. 17 Part II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Our common shares, without par value, are traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “AGYS”.

There were 1,787 active shareholders of record. We did not pay dividends in fiscal 2015 or 2014 and are unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. The current policy of the Board of Directors is to retain any available earnings for use in the operations of our business. 18 Shareholder Return Performance Presentation The following chart compares the value of $100 invested in our common shares, including reinvestment of dividends, with a similar investment in the Russell 2000 Index (the “Russell 2000”) and with the companies listed in the SIC Code 7373-Computer Integrated Systems Design for the period March 31, 2010 through March 31, 2015.

Selected Financial Data. The following selected consolidated financial and operating data was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and the current and prior period operating results of our UK entity, RSG and TSG have been classified within discontinued operations for all periods presented as discussed in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and Item 7 contained in Part II of this Annual Report. (In thousands, except per share data) Operating results Net revenue Gross profit Operating loss Loss from continuing operations, net of taxes Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes Net (loss) income Per share data (1) Basic and diluted Loss from continuing operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations Net (loss) income Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic and diluted Balance sheet data at year end Cash and cash equivalents Working capital Total assets (2) Total debt Total shareholders’ equity $ $ $ $ $ Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 103,514 $ 60,081 (12,467) (11,497) — (11,497) $ 101,261 $ 94,008 $ 82,051 $ 64,040 (6,188) (2,895) 19,992 17,097 $ 57,619 (9,307) (6,214) 4,916 (1,298) $ 49,626 (45,840) (37,493) 14,710 (22,783) $ 88,085 51,484 (21,989) (23,558) (31,917) (55,475) (0.51) $ — (0.51) $ (0.13) $ 0.90 0.77 $ (0.28) $ 0.22 (0.06) $ (1.67) $ 0.65 (1.02) $ (1.03) (1.41) (2.44) 22,338 22,135 21,880 22,432 22,785 75,067 $ 54,407 181,525 189 99,566 $ 82,444 $ 95,511 $ 81,711 190,895 335 72,122 197,498 86 76,286 204,464 384 73,202 83,005 312,398 1,211 124,188 132,873 113,856 114,438 148,104 (1) When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive. In addition, when a loss from continuing operations is reported, adjusting the denominator of diluted earnings per share would also be anti-dilutive to the loss per share, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for a discontinued operation. Therefore, for all periods presented, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net loss per share. (2) The decrease in assets from fiscal 2011 to 2012 is due to the sale of TSG. 20 Item 7. Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”), management explains the general financial condition and results of operations for Agilysys and subsidiaries including: — what factors affect our business; — what our earnings and costs were; — why those earnings and costs were different from the year before; — where the earnings came from; — how our financial condition was affected; and — where the cash will come from to fund future operations. The MD&A analyzes changes in specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and provides information that management believes is important to assessing and understanding our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 15 of this Annual Report titled, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Information provided in the MD&A may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information” on page 3 of this Annual Report and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of this Annual Report for additional information concerning these items. Management believes that this information, discussion, and disclosure is important in making decisions about investing in Agilysys. Overview Agilysys is a leading technology company that provides innovative software for point-of-sale (POS), property management, inventory and procurement, workforce management, analytics, document management and mobile and wireless solutions and services to the hospitality industry. Our solutions and services allow property managers to better connect, interact and transact with their customers and enhance their customer relationships by streamlining operations, improving efficiency, increasing guest recruitment and wallet share, and enhancing the overall guest experience. Agilysys serves four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services. Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Agilysys is comprised of a single operating segment and operates as a pure play software-driven solutions provider to the hospitality industry. Following the divestiture of the Technology Solutions Group (TSG) in August 2011, the Retail Solutions Group (RSG) in July 2013 and our United Kingdom business entity (UK entity) in March 2014, Agilysys operates as one operating segment and as a pure play software-driven solutions provider to the hospitality industry. The sale of TSG, RSG and the UK entity each represented the disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of TSG, RSG and the UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented (see Note 4). Our top priority is increasing shareholder value by improving operating and financial performance and profitability growing the business through superior products and services. To that end, we expect to invest a certain portion of our cash on hand to develop and market new software products, to fund enhancements to existing software products, to expand our customer breadth, both vertically and geographically, and to make select acquisitions. The primary objective of our ongoing strategic planning process is to create shareholder value by exploiting growth opportunities and strengthening our competitive position within the specific technology solutions and in the end markets we service. The plan builds on our existing strengths and targets industry leading growth and peer beating financial and operating results driven by new technology trends and market opportunities. Industry leading growth and peer beating financial and operational results will be achieved through tighter coupling and management of operating expenses of the business and sharpening the focus of our investments to concentrate on growth opportunities with the highest return by seeking the highest margin revenue opportunities in the markets in which we compete. Our strategic plan specifically focuses on: • • • Strong customer focus, with clear and realistic service commitments. Growing sales of our proprietary offerings: products, support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services. Diversifying our customer base across industries and geographies. 21 • Capitalizing on our intellectual property and emerging technology trends. 22 Revenue - Defined As required by the SEC, we separately present revenue earned as products revenue, support, maintenance and subscription services revenue or professional services revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to the SEC requirements, we may, at times, also refer to revenue as defined below. The terminology, definitions, and applications of terms we use to describe our revenue may be different from those used by other companies and caution should be used when comparing these financial measures to those of other companies. We use the following terms to describe revenue: • • • • Revenue – We present revenue net of sales returns and allowances. Products revenue – Revenue earned from the sales of hardware equipment and proprietary and remarketed software. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue – Revenue earned from the sale of proprietary and remarketed ongoing support, maintenance and subscription or hosting services. Professional services revenue – Revenue earned from the delivery of implementation, integration and installation services for proprietary and remarketed products. Matters Affecting Comparability On August 1, 2011, we completed the sale of TSG to OnX Enterprise Solutions Limited and its subsidiary OnX Acquisition LLC (together OnX). For financial reporting purposes, TSG’s operating results for all periods presented were classified within discontinued operations. On July 1, 2013 we completed the sale of RSG to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. For financial reporting purposes, RSG’s operating results for all periods presented were classified within discontinued operations. On March 31, 2014, we completed the sale of our UK entity to Verteda Limited (Verteda), a U.K. based company. In connection with the sale, we have entered into a multi-year distribution agreement, whereby Verteda will distribute certain of our products within the U.K. marketplace.

Total revenue increased $2.3 million, or 2.2%, in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. Products revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 8.0%, primarily as a result of a slowing in product sales in line with our strategic initiatives to emphasize subscription based service revenue and new logo business. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $2.8 million, or 5.3%, as a result of continued focus on selling hosted perpetual and subscription based service revenue which was an increase of 11.3% year over year, and ongoing support from our proprietary product sales. Hosted perpetual and subscription based service revenue comprised 8% of total recurring revenues in 2015 compared to 7% in 2014. Professional services revenue increased $2.2 million, or 16.3%, due to the timing of customer installations including two large service projects during fiscal 2015 that resulted in approximately $1.9 million in revenue. Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit decreased $4.0 million, or 6.2%, in fiscal 2015 and total gross profit margin decreased 520 basis points to 58.0%. Products gross profit decreased $4.5 million and gross profit margin decreased 960 basis points to 41.2% mainly as a result of lower sales of higher margin proprietary software sales which made up a smaller portion of total product sales during fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. Also impacting gross profit margin was $1.0 million in incremental amortization expense of software products that were recently placed into service. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $1.2 million and gross profit margin decreased 190 basis points to 77.8% due to a change in the mix of labor resources needed for maintenance of our products. Professional services gross profit decreased $0.6 million and gross profit margin decreased 830 basis points to 21.8% as a result of higher cost of labor required in the third and fourth quarter to meet a customer commitment. Operating expenses Operating expenses, excluding the charges for asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments, legal settlements and restructuring, severance and other charges, increased $0.5, or 0.7%, in fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014. Product development. Product development includes all expenses associated with research and development. Product development remained consistent during fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. Increases in labor costs as we continue investing in engineering resources to help achieve our planned milestones were offset by the increased capitalization year over year as certain research and 25 development costs are capitalized as software development costs upon achieving specific milestones in the development life-cycle. We capitalized approximately $17.6 million and $13.7 million during fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing increased $2.3 million, or 16.3%, in fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014. The increase is due mainly to the timing of our sales reorganization as we continue to align and ramp our sales force to better serve our customers and our long term strategy and increased marketing activities surrounding the launch of our next generation product rGuest™. General and administrative. General and administrative increased $0.9 million, or 4.4%, in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. as a result of $1.5 million of increased spend during the first half of fiscal 2015 surrounding the ongoing effort to streamline and rationalize our back-office processes, including the cost of resources involved in an ERP replacement project. This was offset by $0.6 million related to certain software licenses fees incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 that did not recur in the current fiscal year. Depreciation of fixed assets. Depreciation of fixed assets increased $0.2 million, or 7.3%, in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 due to the timing of asset purchases. Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles decreased $3.0 million, or 46.0%, in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. In October 2013, we initiated an internal ERP replacement project and determined that amortization of our existing ERP system should be accelerated resulting in $3.2 million of additional amortization expense in fiscal 2014. Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments. Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments increased $1.5 million in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. The net change was driven by the following factors: • • • Internal use asset write-off. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, a shift in customer preference for next generation offerings with more features and compatibility as compared to our Elevate™ POS hosted subscription solution, resulted in a write-off in the amount of $1.5 million. In fiscal 2014, we wrote off approximately $0.3 million related to certain internal use software in connection with the ERP system replacement project. Intangible write-off (Developed Technology and Trade Name). As of March 31, 2015, determined that the remaining net book value of our InfoGenesis Mobile (IG Mobile) software exceeded its net realizable value resulting in an impairment charge of $1.4 million. This was driven primarily by customer preference for InfoGenesis Flex (IG Flex), another one of our InfoGenesis POS mobility solutions. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, certain restructuring activities incurred to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions impacted the expected remaining useful life of the products under the Eatec® trade name. The trade name was determined to have a finite life and subsequently written down to its fair value to be amortized over five years. The fair value of this trade name was calculated based on future cash flows over the remaining useful life resulting in an impairment charge of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2015. Contingent consideration fair value adjustment. The fiscal 2015 write-offs were offset by a gain of $1.6 million recorded in fiscal 2015 to adjust the carrying value of the TimeManagement Corporate (TMC) contingent consideration to fair value. This adjustment was recorded as a result of a decrease in expected revenues associated with the contingent consideration. Restructuring, severance and other charges. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we announced additional restructuring actions designed to continue the effort to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs. To date, we have recorded $0.5 million in restructuring charges related to the Q4 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, we had a remaining liability of approximately $0.5 million recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we implemented restructuring actions to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions and to reduce operating costs and recorded $0.2 million in restructuring charges during the first half of fiscal 2015, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, there was no remaining liability related to the Q2 fiscal 2015 activity. In fiscal 2014, following the sale of RSG, we recorded restructuring charges for severance and related employee benefits for a restructuring plan of approximately $0.7 million in order to better align corporate functions with our HSG operating unit and to reduce costs. We also initiated a sales and marketing restructuring plan in order to maximize sales effectiveness and more closely align sales and marketing efforts for targeted vertical growth, new product launches, and marketing alliances. We recorded restructuring charges for severance and related employee benefits of approximately $0.6 million related to the sales and marketing restructuring. During fiscal 2015, we recorded an additional $0.4 million related to the 2014 restructuring activity. As of March 31, 2015, there was no remaining liability related to the fiscal 2014 restructuring. 26 Our restructuring actions are discussed further in Note 5, Restructuring Charges. Legal settlements. During fiscal 2015, we recorded $0.2 million in legal settlements to finalize legal disputes originally estimated and recorded in the current fiscal year.

Interest income remained relatively consistent during fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. Interest expense. Interest expense consists of costs associated with capital leases and loans on corporate-owned life insurance policies. Interest expense decreased in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 due to expiration and non-renewal of certain capital leases. Other income, net. Other income decreased in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 primarily due to the gain on the redemption of a company owned life insurance policy of approximately $0.6 million in 2014. This was offset by the impact of foreign currency movement against the US dollar. Income Taxes (Dollars in thousands) Income tax benefit Effective tax rate nm - not meaningful $ Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 (1,054) $ 8.4% (2,491) 46.2% (Unfavorable) favorable $ (1,437) $ % nm For fiscal 2015, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits attributable to expiration of statute of limitations, state taxes and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. For fiscal 2014, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the intra-period tax allocation rules associated with the discontinued operations, the expiration of statute of limitations for unrecognized tax positions and recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance. Other items affecting the rate include state taxes and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of zero to less than $0.1 million as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are routinely audited and the outcome of tax examinations could also result in a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits. Other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time. 27 Fiscal 2014 Compared to Fiscal 2013 Net Revenue and Operating Loss The following table presents our consolidated revenue and operating results for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013: (Dollars in thousands) Net revenue: Products Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total net revenue Cost of goods sold: Products, inclusive of developed technology amortization Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total cost of goods sold Gross profit Gross profit margin Operating expenses: Product development Sales and marketing General and administrative Depreciation of fixed assets Amortization of intangibles Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments Restructuring, severance, and other charges Legal settlements Operating loss Operating loss percentage nm - not meaningful Year ended March 31, 2013 2014 Increase (decrease) % $ $ $ 34,629 53,169 13,463 101,261 17,027 10,786 9,408 37,221 64,040 31,030 49,110 13,868 94,008 17,109 10,326 8,954 36,389 57,619 63.2 % 61.3 % 25,212 14,059 20,750 2,074 6,414 327 1,392 — (6,188) $ 23,892 13,350 20,984 2,137 3,284 120 1,495 1,664 (9,307) $ (6.1)% (9.9)% $ $ 3,599 4,059 (405) 7,253 (82) 460 454 832 6,421 1,320 709 (234) (63) 3,130 207 (103) (1,664) 3,119 11.6 % 8.3 % (2.9)% 7.7 % (0.5)% 4.5 % 5.1 % 2.3 % 11.1 % 5.5 % 5.3 % (1.1)% (2.9)% 95.3 % nm (6.9)% nm (33.5)% 28 The following table presents the percentage relationship of our Consolidated Statement of Operations line items to our consolidated net revenues for the periods presented: Net revenue: Products Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total net revenue Cost of goods sold: Products, inclusive of developed technology amortization Support, maintenance and subscription services Professional services Total cost of goods sold Gross profit Operating expenses: Product development Sales and marketing General and administrative Depreciation of fixed assets Amortization of intangibles Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments Restructuring, severance, and other charges Legal settlements Operating loss Year ended March 31, 2013 2014 34.2 % 52.5 13.3 100.0 33.0 % 52.2 14.8 100.0 16.8 10.7 9.3 36.8 63.2 24.9 13.9 20.5 2.0 6.3 0.3 1.4 — (6.1)% 18.2 11.0 9.5 38.7 61.3 25.4 14.2 22.3 2.3 3.5 0.1 1.6 1.8 (9.9)% Net revenue. Total revenue increased $7.3 million, or 7.7%, in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Products revenue increased $3.6 million, or 11.6%, as a result of continued organic growth in our proprietary software licenses and remarketed product revenue. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $4.1 million, or 8.3%, as a result of continued focus on selling subscription based hosting revenue, and ongoing support from our growing proprietary product sales. This is offset by a reduction in remarketed support revenue due to a strategic change in one of our third party providers that lowered our costs and the costs to our customers in fiscal 2014. Professional services revenue remained relatively flat. Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $6.4 million, or 11.1%, in fiscal 2014 and total gross profit margin increased 190 basis points to 63.2%. Products gross profit increased $3.7 million and gross profit margin increased 600 basis points to 50.8% mainly as a result of certain developed technology amortization reaching its useful life during fiscal 2013 and the continued focus on higher margin proprietary software sales which made up a larger portion of total product sales in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Developed technology amortization was $0.3 million and $0.8 million in fiscals 2014 and 2013, respectively. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $3.6 million and gross profit margin increased 70 basis points to 79.7% due to economies of scale. Professional services gross profit decreased $0.9 million and gross profit margin decreased 530 basis points to 30.1% as a result of higher cost of labor required to meet the needs of certain customer installations. Operating expenses Operating expenses, excluding the charges for asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments, legal settlements and restructuring, severance and other charges, increased $4.9 million, or 7.6%, in fiscal 2014 compared with fiscal 2013. Product development. Product development increased $1.3 million, or 5.5% in fiscal 2014 compared with fiscal 2013. This increase is driven by the continued investment in internal and third party resources to enhance the existing products as well as the early stage development of our future platforms. Certain research and development costs are capitalized as software development costs for future use. We capitalized approximately $13.7 million and $4.9 million during fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing increased $0.7 million, or 5.3%, in fiscal 2014 compared with fiscal 2013. The increase is due to continued investment in domestic sales resources and incremental incentive compensation expense incurred in fiscal 2014 to finalize fiscal 2013 compensation plans. 29 General and administrative. General and administrative decreased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This is a result of initiatives implemented with the sale of RSG, which resulted in lower employee related costs and certain efficiencies in back-office processes, offset by certain software license fees incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 that are not expected to recur. Depreciation of fixed assets. Depreciation of fixed assets was relatively flat for fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Amortization of intangibles. In October 2013, we initiated an internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) system replacement project and determined that amortization for our existing ERP system should be accelerated. We recorded approximately $3.2 million in fiscal 2014 of additional amortization in connection with this acceleration. The existing ERP system will be fully amortized as of June 30, 2014. Excluding the accelerated portion, amortization of intangibles remained relatively flat. Asset write-off and other fair value adjustments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, in connection with the ERP system replacement project, we determined that certain internal use developed software would not be continued. As a result, we wrote off the entire asset in the amount of $0.3. During fiscal 2013, we recorded $0.1 million of additional write-offs from the fiscal 2012 related to other developed technologies. Legal settlements. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $1.7 million in legal settlements related to pending lawsuits. Restructuring, severance and other charges. In fiscal 2014, following the sale of RSG, we recorded restructuring charges for severance and related employee benefits for a restructuring plan of approximately $0.7 million in order to better align corporate functions with our HSG operating unit and to reduce costs. We also initiated a sales and marketing restructuring plan in order to maximize sales effectiveness and more closely align sales and marketing efforts for targeted vertical growth, new product launches, and marketing alliances. We recorded restructuring charges for severance and related employee benefits of approximately $0.6 million related to the sales and marketing restructuring. In fiscal 2013, we recorded additional expense of $1.1 million for severance and benefits related to the fiscal 2012 restructuring activity. In addition, we recorded $0.3 million in severance costs during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Our restructuring activities are expected to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2015 and should total less the $1.0 million.

Acquisitions Purchase of assets from Dining Ventures - Fiscal 2015 On July 3, 2014 we purchased certain assets from Dining Ventures, Inc. The acquired assets are the base for our rGuest Seat product, a dining reservations and table management application. The purchase consideration consisted of approximately $3.8 million and was funded with cash on hand. Management concluded that this acquisition was not a material acquisition under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The results derived from this purchased asset have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Purchase of TimeManagement Corporation - Fiscal 2014 On June 10, 2013, we purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of TimeManagement Corporation (TMC), a privately- owned Minneapolis-based technology provider with solutions that streamline workforce management environments for hospitality operators. This technology based acquisition is consistent with the core value we provide to the industry and integrates with our point- of-sale, inventory and procurement systems, including InfoGenesis™ point of sale system and Eatec® inventory and procurement solution. The purchase consideration consisted of $1.8 million in cash paid and $1.8 million of contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.8 million at the date of acquisition and is expected to be paid out over the next five years. Payments could vary based on actual revenue during that time. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted earn-out payments based on the assessment of the likelihood that certain milestones would be achieved. As of March 31, 2015, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the TMC contingent consideration to fair value. This adjustment was recorded as a result of a decrease in expected revenues associated with the contingent consideration. The gain was recorded within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. Management concluded that this acquisition was not a material acquisition under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The operations of the purchased business have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures. Additional information regarding the acquisitions are provided in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Acquisitions. 31 Discontinued Operations UK Entity – Fiscal 2014 In March 2014, we completed the sale of our UK entity to Verteda Limited (Verteda), a U.K. based company, for total consideration of approximately $0.6 million, comprised of $0.7 million in cash and a receivable due to us from Verteda of $0.8 million, net of cash on hand of $0.9 million. During fiscal 2015 we received full payment of the amount due to us from Verteda. In connection with the sale, we have entered into a multi-year distribution agreement whereby Verteda will distribute certain of our products within the U.K. We will continue to manage all property management system accounts as well as key global accounts in the EMEA market. The sale of our UK entity represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of the UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the UK entity are classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented. RSG – Fiscal 2014 In July 2013, we completed the sale of our RSG business to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., for total consideration of approximately $37.6 million in cash, including a working capital adjustment of $3.1 million. Upon the close of the transaction, the aggregate purchase price was reduced by fees of approximately $1.6 million for transaction related costs, resulting in net proceeds received of approximately $36.0 million. In addition to the purchase agreement, we entered into a transition services agreement with Kyrus, under which we provided certain transitional administrative and support services to Kyrus through January 31, 2014. The sale of RSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of RSG have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. Additional information regarding the discontinued operations are provided in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Discontinued Operations. Restructuring and Related Charges We recognize restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of our business or the manner in which that business is conducted is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable. In addition, we assess the property and equipment associated with the related facilities for impairment. The remaining useful lives of property and equipment associated with the related operations are re-evaluated based on the respective restructuring plan, resulting in the acceleration of depreciation and amortization of certain assets. Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Activity Q2 - In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we implemented restructuring actions to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs. To date, we have recorded $0.2 million in restructuring charges related to the Q2 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, there was no further liability for the Q2 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity. Q4 - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we announced additional restructuring actions designed to continue the effort to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs.

As of March 31, 2015, we had a remaining liability of approximately $0.5 million recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity. Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Activity Q1 - In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we announced restructuring actions to better align corporate functions and to reduce operating costs, following the sale of RSG. These restructuring activities were completed in fiscal 2014. We recorded $0.7 million in restructuring charges during fiscal 2014, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2014, there was no further liability for the Q1 fiscal 2014 restructuring activity. Q4 - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring plan to maximize sales effectiveness and more closely align sales and marketing efforts for targeted vertical growth, new product launches, and marketing alliances, and to shift development resources to the next generation products. We recorded approximately $0.6 million in restructuring charges during fiscal 2014, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2014, we had a remaining liability of approximately $0.5 million recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2014 restructuring activity. 32 Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Activity In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we announced restructuring actions, including the relocation of our corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, designed to better align those services with our operating units and reduce costs following the sale of TSG. These restructuring actions were mostly completed by March 31, 2012 and impacted approximately 130 employees. To date, we have recorded $12.1 million in restructuring charges. These charges were primarily comprised of severance and related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, there was no further liability for fiscal 2012 restructuring activity. Additional information regarding restructuring charges is provided in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges. Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview Our operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and payments of principal and interest on indebtedness outstanding, which primarily consists of lease and rental obligations at March 31, 2015. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $75.1 million as of March 31, 2015, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our short-and long-term liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, our total debt was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, comprised of capital lease obligations in both periods. At March 31, 2015, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments with original maturity from date of acquisition of three months or less, including investments in commercial paper, of which 88% is located in the United States. Therefore, we believe that credit risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents balances. Cash Flow (In thousands) Net cash (used in) provided by continuing operations: Operating activities Investing activities Financing activities Effect of exchange rate changes on cash Cash flows (used in) provided by continuing operations Cash flows (used in) provided by discontinued operations Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents Year ended March 31, 2014 2013 2015 $ (2,186) $ (21,632) (401) (280) (24,499) — $ (24,499) $ 1,384 17,724 (883) (44) 18,181 (1,546) 16,635 $ (13,050) (2,199) (500) (21) (15,770) 1,114 $ (14,656) Cash flow (used in) provided by operating activities from continuing operations. Cash flows used in operating activities were $2.2 million in fiscal 2015. This was mainly the result of our net loss after adding back certain non-cash items, including $2.2 million of depreciation, $4.8 million in amortization, and $1.8 million of asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments, offset by an overall net use in other operating assets and liabilities of $0.8 million. Change in operating assets and liabilities was driven primarily by increases in accounts receivable and prepaids of $2.5 million, offset by increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $1.4 million in fiscal 2014. This was mainly the result of our income after adding back certain non-cash items, including $10.9 million in depreciation, amortization which includes $3.2 million of accelerated amortization for the sun setting of our current ERP system, and stock-based compensation. This is offset by a $7.8 million increase in accounts receivable and a $2.7 million impact of the tax provision on taxes payable. Cash flows used in operating activities were $13.1 million in fiscal 2013. The use of cash included $11.2 million of non-recurring payments; $4.5 million for BEP and SERP payments and $6.7 million in restructuring, severance and other charges. Also contributing to the use of cash is the decrease in deferred revenue of $5.1 million and a $3.0 million impact of the tax provision on taxes payable. This is offset by the increase in adjustments to net loss of $9.5 million related to legal settlements, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation. Additional offsets to the use of cash include an increase in accounts payable of $1.6 million related to the purchase of products to support the large remarketed product sales. 33 Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations. Cash flows used in investing activities in fiscal 2015 were $21.6 million. This is primarily attributed to $15.8 million of capitalized software development costs, $4.7 million of fixed asset purchases, $3.8 million for the acquisition of developed technology for our rGuest Seat product, offset by $2.0 million and $0.8 million for proceeds from company owned life insurance policies and sale of the UK business unit, respectively. In fiscal 2014, the $17.7 million in cash flows provided by investing activities were primarily comprised of $35.8 million net proceeds from the sale of RSG and our UK entity, offset by $1.8 million paid for the acquisition of TMC, $12.2 million was used for the development of proprietary software and $4.0 million for the enhancement of internal use software and the purchase of property and equipment. In fiscal 2013, the $2.2 million in cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of $3.9 million used for the development of proprietary software and $2.5 million used for the purchase of property and equipment, offset by $4.3 million in funds from the sale of marketable securities (Rabbi Trust). The funds from the Rabbi Trust were used to settle employee benefit obligations. Cash flow used in financing activities from continuing operations. In fiscal 2015, the $0.4 million cash flows used in financing activities were primarily comprised of the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding and exercise costs related to equity awards and payments of capital lease obligations. In fiscal 2014, the $0.9 million cash flows used in financing activities were primarily comprised of the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding and exercise costs related to equity awards and payments of capital lease obligations. In fiscal 2013, the $0.5 million used in financing activities was primarily comprised of payments on capital lease obligations and the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding related to equity awards. Investments Investments in Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies and Marketable Securities Our invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities primarily to satisfy future obligations of certain employee benefit plans. Our investment in corporate-owned life insurance policies was recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value, at the balance sheet date. During fiscal 2015, we received cash proceeds of $2.0 million related to the death benefit due to us on redemption of one of these policies. The cash surrender value of $2.5 million for the remaining policies were held in “Other non-current assets” at the balance sheet date. In additions, certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies are endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into a separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby we split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive's designated beneficiary. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. 34 Contractual Obligations The following table provides aggregate information regarding our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2015. (In thousands) Operating leases (1) Contingent consideration Restructuring liabilities Capital leases Asset retirement obligation Total contractual obligations (2) Total 2016 2017-2018 2019-2020 Thereafter $ $ 11,973 $ 112 450 196 435 13,166 $ 2,285 $ 8 450 147 35 2,925 $ 4,057 $ 16 — 49 150 4,272 $ 3,032 $ 16 — — — 3,048 $ 2,599 72 — — 250 2,921 (1) Operating lease obligations are presented net of contractually binding sub-lease arrangements. Additional information regarding our operating lease obligations is contained in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. (2) At March 31, 2015, we had a $1.8 million liability reserve for unrecognized income tax positions which is not reflected in the table above. The timing of potential cash outflows related to the unrecognized tax positions is not reasonably determinable and therefore, is not scheduled. Substantially all of this reserve is included in Other non-current liabilities. Additional information regarding unrecognized tax positions is provided in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Income Taxes. We believe that cash on hand, funds from continuing operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to finance capital spending and working capital needs and to service our obligations and other commitments arising during the foreseeable future. Critical Accounting Policies MD&A is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our most significant accounting policies relate to the sale, purchase, and promotion of our products and services. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements because their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Revenue recognition. We derive revenue from the sale of products (i.e., server, storage, and point of sale hardware, and software), support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services. Revenue is recorded in the period in which the goods are delivered or services are rendered and when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We reduce revenue for estimated discounts, sales incentives, estimated customer returns, and other allowances. Discounts are offered based on the volume of products and services purchased by customers. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. Revenue is recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies. We frequently enter into multiple-element arrangements with customers including hardware, software, professional consulting services and maintenance support services. For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, when deliverables include software and non- software products and services, we evaluate and separate each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and (b) if the 35 contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in our control. Consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the unit's relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we use a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to each deliverable: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP). VSOE generally exists only when we sell the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by us for that deliverable. VSOE is established for our software maintenance services and we use TPE or BESP to establish selling prices for our non-software related services. BESP is primarily used for elements that are not consistently priced within a narrow range or TPE is not available. We determine BESP for a deliverable by considering multiple factors including product class, geography, average discount, and management's historical pricing practices. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware and software elements are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to the undelivered maintenance and other services elements are recognized as the services are provided or on a straight-line basis over the service period. In certain instances, customer acceptance is required prior to the passage of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until the customer acceptance is obtained. Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period. In situations where our solutions contain software that is more than incidental, revenue related to the software and software-related elements is recognized in accordance with authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition. For the software and software- related elements of such transactions, revenue is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined by VSOE. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in such multiple-element arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. When the fair value of a delivered element has not been established, but fair value exists for the undelivered elements, we use the residual method to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements, especially those with multiple elements, requires a significant level of judgment and is based upon a review of specific contracts, past experience, the selling price of undelivered elements when sold separately, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors. Changes in judgments about these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized between periods. Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer's final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. A majority of our hardware sales involves shipment directly from its suppliers to the end-user customers. In these transactions, we are responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and we bear the credit risk if the customer does not pay for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, we recognize revenue and cost of goods sold when we are notified by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon receipt at the point of destination or upon installation at the customer site. We offer proprietary software as well as remarketed software for sale to our customers. We offer our customers the right to license the software under a variety of models. Our customers can license our software under a perpetual model for an upfront fee or a subscription model. For subscription arrangements, we allow customers the right to use software, receive unspecified products as well as unspecified upgrades and enhancements and entitle the customer to receive hosting services for a specified term. The subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, typically three to five years. Revenue from subscription service arrangements is included in Support, maintenance and subscription services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. A majority of our software sales do not require significant production, modification, or customization at the time of shipment (physically or electronically) to the customer. Substantially all of our software license arrangements do not include acceptance provisions. As such, revenue from both proprietary and remarketed software sales is typically recognized when the software has been shipped. For software delivered electronically, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer either takes possession of the software via downloading or has been provided with the requisite codes that allow for immediate access to the software based on the U.S. Eastern time zone time stamp. We also offer proprietary and third-party services to our customers. Proprietary services generally include: consulting, installation, integration and training. Many of our software arrangements include consulting services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts. When the arrangements qualify as service transactions, consulting revenue from these arrangements are accounted for separately from the software revenue. The significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the software), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments, and the impact of milestones or other customer acceptance criteria on revenue realization. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for consulting services, the revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. 36 For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fee arrangements, we estimate proportional performance using the hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project consistent with the percentage- of-completion method of accounting. Accordingly, revenue for these contracts is recognized based on the proportion of the work performed on the contract. If there is no sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, the revenue is recognized when final customer acceptance is received. Adjustments to contract price and estimated service hours are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. The aggregate of collections on uncompleted contracts in excess of related revenue is shown as a current liability. If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software and consulting services, then the software revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method of accounting. Contract accounting is applied to arrangements that include: milestones or customer-specific acceptance criteria that may affect the collection of revenue, significant modification or customization of the software, or provisions that tie the payment for the software to the performance of consulting services. We also offer proprietary and third-party support to our customers. Support generally includes: support and maintenance of software and hardware products and subscription services. Revenue relating to proprietary support services is recognized evenly over the coverage period of the underlying agreement within support, maintenance and subscription revenue. In instances where we offer third- party support contracts to our customer, and the supplier is determined to be the primary obligor in the transaction, we report revenue at the time of the sale, only in the amount of the “commission” (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk, as well as historical trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk we perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average costing method. Our inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions governing turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. We provide a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors including an analysis of historical sales of products and the age of the inventory. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Income Taxes. Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are anticipated to be settled or realized. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. We recorded a valuation allowance of $76.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and $73.0 million as of March 31, 2014, related to substantially all of our deferred income tax assets in jurisdictions where there is uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of a benefit from those assets. In the event that we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the tax valuation allowance would decrease tax expense in the period such determination was made. We recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from uncertain tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest related to uncertain tax positions is recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and is accrued beginning in the period that such interest would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized. Our income taxes are described further in Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Income Taxes. 37 Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually, unless it is determined after a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. Goodwill is measured for impairment on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company is also required to compare the fair values of other indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying amounts at least annually, or when current events and circumstances require an interim assessment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. For fiscal 2015 and 2014, we conducted a qualitative assessment (Step Zero Analysis) to determine whether it would be necessary to perform step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test. It was determined based on the Step Zero Analysis that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount as of February 1, 2015. Additional information regarding our goodwill and impairment analyses is provided in Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We had two indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to purchased trade names. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, one of the two trade names was determined to have a finite life and subsequently written down to its fair value to be amortized over five years. The remaining indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value. The income approach using “the relief from royalty method” was used to value the trade names as of February 1, 2015. Additional information regarding our intangible assets and impairment analyses is provided in Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Restructuring Charges. We recognize restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of our business, or the manner in which that business is conducted, is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable. Our restructuring reserves principally include estimates related to employee separation costs and the consolidation and impairment of facilities that will no longer be used in continuing operations. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Facility reserves are calculated using a present value of future minimum lease payments, offset by an estimate for future sublease income provided by external brokers. Present value is calculated using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate with a maturity equivalent to the lease term. Our restructuring charges are described further in Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Restructuring Charges. Share-Based Compensation. We have a stock incentive plan under which we may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, time-vested restricted shares, restricted share units, performance-vested restricted shares, and performance shares. Shares issued pursuant to awards under this plan may be made out of treasury or authorized but unissued shares. We record compensation expense related to stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and stock-settled appreciation right awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of our common shares. Additional information regarding the assumptions used to value share-based compensation awards is provided in Note 15 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements titled, Share-Based Compensation. Capitalized Software Development Costs. We capitalize certain costs related to the development of computer software. Capitalization of these costs begins when a detail program design or working model has been produced as evidenced by the completion of design, planning, coding and testing, such that the product meets its design specifications and has thereby established technological feasibility. Capitalization of these costs ends when the resulting product is available for general release to the public. Amortization of the capitalized software is classified within products cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For each capitalized software product, the annual amortization is equal to the greater of: (i) the amount computed using the ratio that the software product’s current fiscal year gross revenue bears to the total current fiscal year and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (ii) the amount computed based on straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is a range between three and eight years. The amount by which unamortized software costs exceeds the net realizable value, if any, is recognized as a charge to income in the period it is determined. We capitalized approximately $17.2 million, $13.7 million and $4.9 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of non-acquired developed capitalized software was $1.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which converges the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standard on revenue 38 recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. Transition to the new guidance may be done using either a full or modified retrospective method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on operations and financial results to be presented as discontinued operations. The guidance also requires expanded financial disclosures about discontinued operations and significant disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the ASU did not have any impact on our financial statements. In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-11 beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the ASU did not have any impact on our financial statements. Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We have assets, liabilities, and cash flows in foreign currencies creating foreign exchange risk. We sell products and services internationally and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. For the fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, revenue from international operations was 5%, 5% and 6%, respectively of total revenue. The effects of foreign currency on operating results did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the 2015, 2014 and 2013 fiscal years. At March 31, 2015, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect our financial statements. We believe that inflation has had a nominal effect on our results of operations in fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013 and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in fiscal 2015. 39 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Agilysys, Inc. and Subsidiaries ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K Year Ended March 31, 2015 INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm - PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2015 and 2013 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 Page 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 72 40 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To Board of Directors and Shareholders of Agilysys, Inc. and Subsidiaries: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and shareholders' equity listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Agilysys, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Atlanta, Georgia June 5, 2015 41 AGILYSYS, INC.

Nature of Operations Agilysys is a leading technology company that provides innovative software for point-of-sale (POS), property management, inventory and procurement, workforce management, analytics, document management and mobile and wireless solutions and services to the hospitality industry. Our solutions and services allow property managers to better connect, interact and transact with their customers and enhance their customer relationships by streamlining operations, improving efficiency, increasing guest recruitment and wallet share, and enhancing the overall guest experience. We serve four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services. We operate throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The sales of our RSG business and UK entity each represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of RSG and the UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within the fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2015 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to continuing operations. Use of estimates. Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity from date of acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents with no established maturity date are fully redeemable on demand (without penalty) with settlement of principal and accrued interest on the following business day after instruction to redeem. Such investments are readily convertible to cash with no penalty and can include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, treasury bills, money market funds and other investments. Allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as historic trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. To mitigate this credit risk we perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers. Inventories. Our inventories are comprised of finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method. Our inventory is monitored to ensure appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to the lower of cost or market, if necessary, are based upon contractual provisions such as turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. We provide a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors, including an analysis of historical sales of products and the age of the inventory. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually, unless it is determined after a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. Goodwill is 47 measured for impairment on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company is also required to compare the fair values of other indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying amounts at least annually, or when current events and circumstances require an interim assessment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. For fiscal 2015 and 2014, we conducted a qualitative assessment (Step Zero Analysis) to determine whether it would be necessary to perform step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test. It was determined based on the Step Zero Analysis that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount as of February 1, 2015. Additional information regarding our goodwill and impairment analyses is provided in Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We had two indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to purchased trade names. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, one of the two trade names was determined to have a finite life and subsequently written down to its fair value to be amortized over five years. The remaining indefinite-lived intangible asset is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with the fair value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value. The income approach using “the relief from royalty method” was used to value the trade names as of February 1, 2015. Additional information regarding our intangible assets and impairment analyses is provided in Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are primarily amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. Purchased intangible assets relating to customer relationships are amortized using an accelerated or straight-line method, which reflects the period the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows. Our finite- lived intangible assets are amortized over periods between two and eight years. Customer relationships are amortized over estimated useful lives between two and seven years; non-competition agreements are amortized over estimated useful lives between two and eight years; developed technology is amortized over estimated useful lives between three and eight years; supplier relationships are amortized over estimated useful lives between two and eight years. Long-lived assets. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance, repairs, and reengineering costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capital leases, which make up less than one percent of total assets, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for depreciation and amortization are as follows: buildings and building improvements - 7 to 30 years; furniture - 7 to 10 years; equipment - 3 to 10 years; software - 3 to 10 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the economic life or the lease term. Internal use software costs are expensed or capitalized depending on the project stage. Amounts capitalized are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years, beginning with the project's completion. Capitalized project expenditures are not depreciated until the underlying project is completed. We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. Foreign currency translation. The financial statements of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations whose functional currencies are not in U.S. dollars are translated at the period-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the fiscal year. The cumulative translation effects are reflected as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on monetary transactions denominated in other than the functional currency of an operation are reflected within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency gains and losses from changes in exchange rates have not been material to our consolidated operating results. Revenue recognition. We derive revenue from the sale of products (i.e., server, storage, and point of sale hardware, and software), support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services. Revenue is recorded in the period in which the goods are delivered or services are rendered and when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We reduce revenue for estimated discounts, sales incentives, estimated customer returns, and other allowances. Discounts are offered based on the volume of products and services purchased by customers. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. Revenue is recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies. We frequently enter into multiple-element arrangements with customers including hardware, software, professional consulting services and maintenance support services. For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, when deliverables include software and non- 48 software products and services, we evaluate and separate each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and (b) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in our control. Consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the unit's relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we use a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to each deliverable: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP). VSOE generally exists only when we sell the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by us for that deliverable. VSOE is established for our software maintenance services and we use TPE or BESP to establish selling prices for our non-software related services. BESP is primarily used for elements that are not consistently priced within a narrow range or TPE is not available. We determine BESP for a deliverable by considering multiple factors including product class, geography, average discount, and management's historical pricing practices. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware and software elements are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to the undelivered maintenance and other services elements are recognized as the services are provided or on a straight-line basis over the service period. In certain instances, customer acceptance is required prior to the passage of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until the customer acceptance is obtained. Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period. In situations where our solutions contain software that is more than incidental, revenue related to the software and software-related elements is recognized in accordance with authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition. For the software and software- related elements of such transactions, revenue is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined by VSOE. If we cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in such multiple-element arrangements, we defer revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. When the fair value of a delivered element has not been established, but fair value exists for the undelivered elements, we use the residual method to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements, especially those with multiple elements, requires a significant level of judgment and is based upon a review of specific contracts, past experience, the selling price of undelivered elements when sold separately, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors. Changes in judgments about these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized between periods. Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer's final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. A majority of our hardware sales involves shipment directly from its suppliers to the end-user customers. In these transactions, we are responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and we bear the credit risk if the customer does not pay for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, we recognize revenue and cost of goods sold when we are notified by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon receipt at the point of destination or upon installation at the customer site. We offer proprietary software as well as remarketed software for sale to our customers. We offer our customers the right to license the software under a variety of models. Our customers can license our software under a perpetual model for an upfront fee or a subscription model. For subscription arrangements, we allow customers the right to use software, receive unspecified products as well as unspecified upgrades and enhancements and entitle the customer to receive hosting services for a specified term. The subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, typically three to five years. Revenue from subscription service arrangements is included in Support, maintenance and subscription services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. A majority of our software sales do not require significant production, modification, or customization at the time of shipment (physically or electronically) to the customer. Substantially all of our software license arrangements do not include acceptance provisions. As such, revenue from both proprietary and remarketed software sales is typically recognized when the software has been shipped. For software delivered electronically, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer either takes possession of the software via downloading or has been provided with the requisite codes that allow for immediate access to the software based on the U.S. Eastern time zone time stamp. We also offer proprietary and third-party services to our customers. Proprietary services generally include: consulting, installation, integration and training. Many of our software arrangements include consulting services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts. When the arrangements qualify as service transactions, consulting revenue from these arrangements are accounted for separately from the software revenue. The significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the software), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments, and the impact of milestones or other 49 customer acceptance criteria on revenue realization. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for consulting services, the revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. For certain long-term proprietary service contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fee arrangements, we estimate proportional performance using the hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project consistent with the percentage- of-completion method of accounting. Accordingly, revenue for these contracts is recognized based on the proportion of the work performed on the contract. If there is no sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, the revenue is recognized when final customer acceptance is received. Adjustments to contract price and estimated service hours are made periodically, and losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. The aggregate of collections on uncompleted contracts in excess of related revenue is shown as a current liability If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software and consulting services, then the software revenue is recognized together with the consulting services using the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method of accounting. Contract accounting is applied to arrangements that include: milestones or customer-specific acceptance criteria that may affect the collection of revenue, significant modification or customization of the software, or provisions that tie the payment for the software to the performance of consulting services. We also offer proprietary and third-party support to our customers. Support generally includes: support and maintenance of software and hardware products and subscription services. Revenue relating to proprietary support services is recognized evenly over the coverage period of the underlying agreement within support, maintenance and subscription revenue. In instances where we offer third- party support contracts to our customer, and the supplier is determined to be the primary obligor in the transaction, we report revenue at the time of the sale, only in the amount of the “commission” (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale) received rather than reporting revenue in the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale. Comprehensive (loss) income. Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net (loss) income, as currently reported under GAAP, plus other comprehensive (loss) income. Other comprehensive (loss) income considers the effects of additional transactions and economic events that are not required to be recorded in determining net (loss) income, but rather are reported as a separate statement of comprehensive (loss) income. Fair value measurements. We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. In determining fair value of financial assets and liabilities, we use various valuation techniques. Additional information regarding fair value measurements is provided in Note 16, Fair Value Measurements. Investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities. Agilysys invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies and has historically invested in marketable securities primarily to satisfy future obligations of our employee benefit plans, including a benefit equalization plan (“BEP”) and supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”). Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies were held in a Rabbi Trust and were classified within “Other non-current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our investment in corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value, at the balance sheet date. All obligations related to our employee benefit plans, BEP and SERP, were fulfilled in April 2012 with funds held in the Rabbi Trust. Certain of these corporate-owned life insurance policies are endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into a non-cancelable separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby we must maintain the life insurance policy for the specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive's designated beneficiary. Additional information regarding the investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies and marketable securities is provided in Note 12, Employee Benefit Plans. Income Taxes. Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are anticipated to be settled or realized. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical 50 taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. We recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from uncertain tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest related to uncertain tax positions is recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and is accrued beginning in the period that such interest would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized. Our income taxes are described further in Note 11, Income Taxes. Changes to Prior Period Presentation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of increased visibility into our services organization, certain costs previously classified in product development expenses were recorded in cost of goods sold to more properly reflect the nature of these expenses. The portion of these expenses that was erroneously recorded in previous periods was immaterial to the overall financial statements. Prior period presentation has been modified to conform to the current presentation. Correction of Error. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded out-of-period adjustments to increase revenues, restructuring, severance and other charges and asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments by $0.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The net impact of the adjustments increased our operating loss by $0.6 million, or $(0.03) per share, and represents a correction of error. In fiscal 2012, we erroneously omitted certain revenue transactions, the costs associated with certain terminated individuals and certain third party development costs for our previously impaired developed technology. Management performed an evaluation under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 and concluded the effect of the adjustment was immaterial to prior year’s financial statements as well as the full-year fiscal 2013 financial statements. Capitalized Software Development Costs. The capitalization of software development cost for external use begins when a product’s technological feasibility has been established. Capitalization ends when the resulting product is available for general market release. Amortization of the capitalized software is classified within products cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For each capitalized software product, the annual amortization is equal to the greater of: (i) the amount computed using the ratio that the software product’s current fiscal year gross revenue bears to the total current fiscal year and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (ii) the amount computed based on straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is a range between three and eight years. The amount by which unamortized software costs exceeds the net realizable value, if any, is recognized as a charge to income in the period it is determined. We capitalized approximately $17.2 million, $13.7 million and $4.9 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of non-acquired developed capitalized software was $1.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which converges the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standard on revenue recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. Transition to the new guidance may be done using either a full or modified retrospective method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on operations and financial results to be presented as discontinued operations. The guidance also requires expanded financial disclosures about discontinued operations and significant disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of the ASU did not have any impact on our financial statements. In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2013-11 beginning April 1, 2014. The adoption of the ASU did not have any impact on our financial statements. 51 Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting pronouncements. 3. Acquisitions Purchase of assets from Dining Ventures - Fiscal 2015 On July 3, 2014 Agilysys purchased certain assets from Dining Ventures, Inc. The acquired assets are the base for our rGuest Seat product, a dining reservations and table management application. The purchase consideration consisted of approximately $3.8 million and was funded with cash on hand. Management concluded that this acquisition was not a material acquisition under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The results derived from this purchased asset have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. The following is a summary of the fair values of the assets acquired in the acquisition: (In thousands) Goodwill Developed technology Total assets acquired $ $ 2,464 1,286 3,750 The goodwill of approximately $2.5 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies expected from combining the developed technology of Dining Ventures with Agilysys' operations. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years. The following is a summary of the intangible asset acquired and the weighted-average useful life over which it will be amortized. Developed technology Weighted-average Purchased assets useful life $ 1,286 5 years The developed technology acquired from Dining Ventures was determined to be an internal use asset and is therefore carried in fixed assets on the balance sheet and amortized in operating expenses. Purchase of TimeManagement Corporation - Fiscal 2014 On June 10, 2013, Agilysys purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of TimeManagement Corporation (TMC), a privately-owned Minneapolis-based technology provider with solutions that streamline workforce management environments for hospitality operators. This technology based acquisition is consistent with the core value we provide to the industry and integrates with our point-of-sale, inventory and procurement systems, including InfoGenesis™ point of sale system and Eatec® inventory and procurement solution. The purchase consideration consisted of $1.8 million in cash paid and $1.8 million of contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.8 million at the date of acquisition and is expected to be paid out over the next five years. Payments could vary based on actual revenue during that time. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted earn-out payments based on the assessment of the likelihood that certain milestones would be achieved. As of March 31, 2015, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the TMC contingent consideration to fair value. This adjustment was recorded as a result of a decrease in expected revenues associated with the contingent consideration. The gain was recorded within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. Management concluded that this acquisition was not a material acquisition under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The operations of the purchased business have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures. 52 The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition: (In thousands) Current assets Property and equipment Goodwill Developed technology Total assets acquired Total liabilities assumed (all current) Net assets acquired $ $ 327 88 3,444 605 4,464 914 3,550 The goodwill of approximately $3.4 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Agilysys and TMC. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes over a period of fifteen years. The following is a summary of the intangible asset acquired and the weighted-average useful life over which it will be amortized. Weighted-average Purchased assets useful life Developed technology $ 605 5 years The developed technology acquired from TMC was determined to be software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, and is therefore carried in intangible assets on the balance sheet and is amortized on a straight-line basis as Products cost of goods sold within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 4. Discontinued Operations UK Entity – Fiscal 2014 In March 2014, we completed the sale of our UK entity to Verteda Limited (Verteda), a U.K. based company, for total consideration of approximately $0.6 million, comprised of $0.7 million in cash and a receivable due to Agilysys from Verteda of $0.8 million, net of cash on hand of $0.9 million. During fiscal 2015 we received full payment of the amount due to Agilysys from Verteda. In connection with the sale, we have entered into a multi-year distribution agreement whereby Verteda will distribute certain Agilysys products within the U.K. We will continue to manage all property management system accounts as well as key global accounts in the EMEA market. The sale of our UK entity represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of the UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the UK entity are classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented. RSG – Fiscal 2014 In July 2013, we completed the sale of our RSG business to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., for total consideration of approximately $37.6 million in cash, including a working capital adjustment of $3.1 million. Upon the close of the transaction, the aggregate purchase price was reduced by fees of approximately $1.6 million for transaction related costs, resulting in net proceeds received of approximately $36.0 million. In addition to the purchase agreement, we entered into a transition services agreement with Kyrus, under which we provided certain transitional administrative and support services to Kyrus through January 31, 2014. The sale of RSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of RSG have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. 53 Components of Results of Discontinued Operations For fiscal 2014 and 2013, the income from discontinued operations was comprised of the following: (In thousands) Discontinued operations: Net revenue Income from operations Other expense, net Gain on sale Income on sale Income tax expense Income from discontinued operations Year ended March 31, 2014 2013 $ 28,950 $ 143,261 249 (266) 21,933 21,916 1,924 19,992 $ $ 8,196 (447) — 7,749 2,833 4,916 $ The gain on sale included in "Income from discontinued operations" in fiscal 2014 includes a reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.7 million, net of taxes as a result of the sale of the UK entity. 5. Restructuring Charges We recognize restructuring charges when a plan that materially changes the scope of our business or the manner in which that business is conducted is adopted and communicated to the impacted parties, and the expenses have been incurred or are reasonably estimable. In addition, we assess the property and equipment associated with the related facilities for impairment. The remaining useful lives of property and equipment associated with the related operations are re-evaluated based on the respective restructuring plan, resulting in the acceleration of depreciation and amortization of certain assets. Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Activity Q2 - In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we implemented restructuring actions to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs. To date, we have recorded $0.2 million in restructuring charges related to the Q2 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, there was no further liability for the Q2 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity. Q4 - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we announced additional restructuring actions designed to continue the effort to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions with our company strategy and to reduce operating costs. To date, we have recorded $0.5 million in restructuring charges related to the Q4 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, we had a remaining liability of approximately $0.5 million recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2015 restructuring activity. Fiscal 2014 Restructuring Activity Q1 - In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we announced restructuring actions to better align corporate functions and to reduce operating costs, following the sale of RSG. These restructuring activities were completed in fiscal 2014. We recorded $0.7 million in restructuring charges during fiscal 2014, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2014, there was no further liability for the Q1 fiscal 2014 restructuring activity. Q4 - In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring plan to maximize sales effectiveness and more closely align sales and marketing efforts for targeted vertical growth, new product launches, and marketing alliances, and to shift development resources to the next generation products. We recorded approximately $0.6 million in restructuring charges during fiscal 2014, comprised of severance and other employee related benefits. As of March 31, 2014, we had a remaining liability of approximately $0.5 million recorded for the Q4 fiscal 2014 restructuring activity. Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Activity In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we announced restructuring actions, including the relocation of our corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, designed to better align those services with our operating units and reduce costs following the sale of TSG. These restructuring actions were mostly completed by March 31, 2012 and impacted approximately 130 employees. To date, we 54 have recorded $12.1 million in restructuring charges. These charges were primarily comprised of severance and related benefits. As of March 31, 2015, there was no further liability for fiscal 2012 restructuring activity.

Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment at March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: (In thousands) Furniture and equipment Software Leasehold improvements Project expenditures not yet in use Accumulated depreciation and amortization Property and equipment, net Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 $ $ 8,241 $ 8,196 4,773 866 22,076 (10,147) 11,929 $ 8,849 16,982 4,836 2,749 33,416 (21,165) 12,251 55 Total depreciation expense on property and equipment was $2.2 million, $2.1 million, and $2.1 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total amortization expense on capitalized internal-use software was $2.5 million, $5.3 million and $2.1 million during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. In fiscal 2014, we initiated an internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) system replacement project and determined that amortization for our existing ERP system should be accelerated. We recorded approximately $3.2 million in fiscal 2014 of additional amortization in connection with this acceleration. The existing ERP system was fully amortized as of June 30, 2014. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, a shift in customer preference for next generation offerings with more features and compatibility as compared to our Elevate™ POS hosted subscription solution, resulted in a write-off in the amount of $1.5 million. In fiscal 2014, we wrote off approximately $0.3 million related to certain internal use software in connection with the ERP system replacement project. These charges are classified within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets under capital leases are included in property and equipment categories above. Total assets under capital leases at March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: (In thousands) Capital leases Less accumulated depreciation Assets under capital lease, net Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 $ $ 499 $ (213) 286 $ 817 (692) 125 7. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Software Development Costs Agilysys allocates the cost of its acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the cost over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill Agilysys tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level upon identification of impairment indicators, or at least annually. A reporting unit is the operating segment or one level below the operating segment (depending on whether certain criteria are met). Goodwill was allocated to our reporting units that are anticipated to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations generating the underlying goodwill. Agilysys has one operating segment. We conducted our annual qualitative assessment (Step Zero Analysis) test on February 1, 2015 and 2014 to determine whether it would be necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Among other things, we considered the i) excess in fair value of the reporting unit over its carrying amount from the most recent step one calculation, ii) macroeconomic conditions, iii) industry and market trends, and iv) overall financial performance. It was determined based on the Step Zero Analysis that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the operations exceeded its carrying amount. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: (In thousands) Balance at March 31, 2013 Acquisitions Impact of foreign currency translation Allocation of goodwill to UK entity Balance at March 31, 2014 Acquisitions Balance at March 31, 2015 $ $ 14,128 3,444 196 (610) 17,158 2,464 19,622 56 Intangible Assets and Software Development Costs The following table summarizes our intangible assets at March 31, 2015, and 2014: (In thousands) Amortized intangible assets: Customer relationships Non-competition agreements Developed technology Trade names Patented technology Unamortized intangible assets: Trade names Accumulated impairment Finite life reclassification Total intangible assets Software development costs Project expenditures not yet in use Accumulated impairment Gross carrying amount 2015 Accumulated amortization Net carrying amount Gross carrying amount 2014 Accumulated amortization Net carrying amount $ 10,775 $ 2,700 10,660 230 80 24,445 9,200 (570) (230) 8,400 32,845 $ 6,359 $ 28,293 (1,391) $ $ (10,775) $ (2,700) (10,277) (7) (80) (23,839) N/A N/A N/A N/A (23,839) $ (1,443) $ — N/A (1,443) $ — $ — 383 223 — 606 9,200 (570) (230) 8,400 9,006 4,916 28,293 (1,391) 31,818 $ $ 10,775 $ 2,700 10,660 — 80 24,215 9,200 — — 9,200 33,415 $ (10,080) $ (2,473) (10,156) — (80) (22,789) N/A N/A N/A N/A (22,789) $ 5,094 $ 12,397 (270) $ — — N/A 695 227 504 — — 1,426 9,200 — — 9,200 10,626 4,824 12,397 — Total software development costs $ 33,261 $ $ 17,491 $ (270) $ 17,221 Indefinite-lived intangible assets, comprised of two purchased trade names InfoGenesis™ and Eatec®, are tested for impairment upon identification of impairment indicators, or at least annually. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount is greater than fair value. The income approach using "the relief from royalty method" was used to value the trade names as of February 1, 2015 and 2014. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future cash flows, royalty rates, discount rates and other variables. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, certain restructuring activities incurred to better align product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative functions impacted the expected remaining useful life of the products under the Eatec® trade name. The trade name was determined to have a finite life and subsequently written down to its fair value to be amortized over five years. The fair value of this trade name was calculated based on future cash flows over the remaining useful life resulting in an impairment charge of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2015. This charge is classified within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The InfoGenesis™ indefinite-lived purchased trade name was tested for impairment as of February 1, 2015 and 2014, resulting in a fair value exceeding the carrying amount each year. At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized software development costs for external use is compared to the net realizable value of that product. The amount by which unamortized software costs exceeds the net realizable value, if any, is recognized as a charge to income in the period it is determined. As of March 31, 2015, we determined that the remaining net book value of our InfoGenesis Mobile (IG Mobile) software exceeded its net realizable value resulting in an impairment charge of $1.4 million. This charge is classified within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 57 The following table summarizes our remaining estimated amortization expense relating to in service intangible assets.

These charges are included as Products cost of goods sold within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense relating to other definite-lived intangible assets was $0.9 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These charges are classified as operating expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Capitalized software development costs are carried on our balance sheet at net realizable value, net of accumulated amortization. We capitalized approximately $17.2 million, $13.7 million and $4.9 million during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 8.

The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are depreciated over the shorter of their related lease terms or their estimated productive lives. Assets recorded under capital leases were $0.5 million and $0.8 million, as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accumulated depreciation related to assets recorded under capital leases was $0.2 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The related allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.9 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. On January 12, 2015, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (Caesars) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 15, 2015, Caesars and certain of its affiliates filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11. Those cases have been consolidated in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. At March 31, 2015, our accounts receivables owing by Caesars and its affiliates who have filed a bankruptcy petition totaled approximately $3.2 million, including both pre- and post-petition claims. The total amount owed represents approximately 13% of our outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015. As of May 26, 2015, we filed a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court identifying approximately $0.7 million of pre-petition claims still outstanding. Caesars entertainment properties have continued to operate in the ordinary course following the bankruptcy filing, and we have continued to do business with Caesars in the ordinary course. 59 11. Income Taxes For the year ended March 31, income from continuing operations before income taxes consisted of the following: (In thousands) Loss before income taxes United States Foreign Total loss from continuing operations before income taxes 2015 2014 2013 $ $ (12,697) 146 (12,551) $ $ (5,475) 89 (5,386) $ $ (9,594) 262 (9,332) For the year ended March 31, income tax (benefit) expense consisted of the following: (In thousands) Income tax (benefit) expense Current: Federal State and local Foreign Deferred: Federal State and local Foreign Total income tax benefit 2015 2014 2013 $ $ 25 (798) 90 (206) (141) (24) (1,054) $ $ (2,206) (161) 55 (161) (20) 2 (2,491) $ $ (3,002) 28 100 — (252) 8 (3,118) The following table presents the principal components of the difference between the effective tax rate for continuing operations to the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the years ended March 31: (In thousands) Income tax benefit at the statutory rate of 35% (Benefit) provision for state taxes Impact of foreign operations Indefinite life assets Officer life insurance Change in valuation allowance Change in liability for unrecognized tax benefits Meals and entertainment Other Total income tax benefit 2015 2014 2013 $ $ (4,405) (172) 11 — (20) 4,241 (857) 102 46 (1,054) $ $ (2,103) (106) 14 47 (28) (76) (561) 113 209 (2,491) $ $ (3,266) (14) (48) (251) (75) 627 (230) 114 25 (3,118) Our tax provision includes a provision for income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions where subsidiaries are profitable, but only a minimal benefit is reflected related to U.S. and certain foreign tax losses due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of future benefits from these losses. The 2015 tax benefit primarily results from the expiration of statute of limitations for unrecognized tax positions and the recognition of a valuation allowance on the Eatec purchased trade name deferred tax liability that was converted from an indefinite life to a finite life. The 2015 tax benefit differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits attributable to expiration of statute of limitations, state taxes and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. The 2014 and 2013 tax benefit differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the intra-period tax allocation rules associated with the discontinued operations and recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance. Other items affecting the rate include a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits attributable to expiration of statute of limitations, state taxes and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. 60 Deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, are as follows: (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities Allowance for doubtful accounts Inventory valuation reserve Restructuring reserve Federal losses and credit carryforwards Foreign net operating losses State losses and credit carryforwards Deferred compensation Deferred revenue Goodwill and other intangible assets Other Less: valuation allowance Total Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment & software amortization Indefinite-lived goodwill & intangible assets Other Total Total deferred tax liabilities 2015 2014 $ 3,961 $ 297 24 — 58,992 326 10,162 — 146 3,129 340 77,377 (76,420) 957 (690) (3,324) 34 (3,980) (3,023) $ $ 3,884 408 14 54 55,231 330 10,706 70 61 3,611 514 74,883 (73,014) 1,869 (1,560) (3,622) (81) (5,263) (3,394) At March 31, 2015, we had $170.3 million of a federal net operating loss carryforward that expires, if unused, in fiscal years 2031 to 2035. Included in this net operating loss is $4.2 million of tax deductions in excess of recorded windfall tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation. Upon realization of the U.S. federal net operating losses, we will recognize a windfall tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Our Hong Kong subsidiary has $0.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. At March 31, 2015 we also had $143.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2016 through 2035. We recorded valuation allowances related to certain deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future benefits from those assets. At March 31, 2015, the total valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $76.4 million was comprised of a valuation allowance of $76.1 million for federal and state deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance of $0.3 million associated with deferred tax assets in Hong Kong. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax assets, we will need to generate future taxable income before the expiration of the deferred tax assets governed by the tax code. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes unless such earnings are distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits. The undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested and totaled $0.7 million and $1.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We made the determination of permanent reinvestment on the basis of sufficient evidence that demonstrates we will invest the undistributed earnings overseas indefinitely for use in working capital, as well as foreign acquisitions and expansion. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable. We use the with-and-without approach for ordering tax benefits derived from the share-based payment awards. Using the with-and- without approach, actual income taxes payable for the period are compared to the amount of tax payable that would have been 61 incurred absent the deduction for employee share-based payments in excess of the amount of compensation cost recognized for financial reporting. As a result of this approach, tax net operating loss carryforwards not generated from share-based payments in excess of cost recognized for financial reporting are considered utilized before the current period's share-based deduction. We did not recognize any tax benefits during 2015 for stock-based compensation. We recognized less than $0.1 million of excess tax benefits during 2014. We did not recognize any tax benefits during 2013 for stock-based compensation. We recorded a liability for unrecognized tax positions. The aggregate changes in the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits were as follows for the years ended March 31: (In thousands) Balance at April 1 Additions: Relating to positions taken during current year Relating to positions taken during prior year Reductions: Relating to tax settlements Relating to positions taken during prior year Relating to lapse in statute Balance at March 31 2015 2014 2013 $ 2,568 $ 4,248 $ 2,873 — — — — — (204) (609) 1,755 — (1,238) (442) 2,568 $ $ $ 1,624 — — — (249) 4,248 As of March 31, 2015, we had a liability of $1.8 million related to uncertain tax positions, the recognition of which would affect our effective income tax rate. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of zero to $0.1 million as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are routinely audited and the outcome of tax examinations could also result in a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits. Other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time. We recognize interest accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties are recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized interest and penalty benefit of $0.3 million, benefit of $0.2 million and expense of $0.1 million for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million of interest and penalties accrued, respectively. In the U.S. we file consolidated federal and state income tax returns where statutes of limitations generally range from three to five years. Although we have resolved examinations with the IRS through tax year ended March 31, 2010, U.S. federal tax years are open from 2006 forward due to attribute carryforwards. The statute of limitations is open from fiscal year 2002 forward in certain state jurisdictions. We also file income tax returns in international jurisdictions where statutes of limitations generally range from three to seven years. Years beginning after 2007 are open for examination by certain foreign taxing authorities. 12. Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Plan We maintain 401(k) plans for employees meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the plans allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation, and we match $1.00 for every $1.00 on the first 1% of the employee's pre-tax contributions and $0.50 for every $0.50 up to the next 5% of the employee's pre-tax contributions. We may also make discretionary contributions each year for the benefit of all eligible employees under the plans. Agilysys matching contributions were $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and $1.1 million in fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agilysys provides certain former executives with life insurance benefits through endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into a separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby we must maintain the life insurance policy for the specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive's designated beneficiary. In fiscal 2014, we increased the cash surrender value of one of these policies by $0.5 million due to the anticipated 62 redemption and recorded the benefit in "Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, this policy was redeemed for $2.0 million. The expense related to these benefit obligations is based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and including assumptions with respect to discount rates and mortality. The expense associated with these benefits was classified within “General, and administrative” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability, which was $0.2 million at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, was recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts, which were classified within “Other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $2.5 million (net of policy loans of $0.6 million) at March 31, 2015. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts which were classified within "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.0 million and $2.4 million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2014. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded a gain of $0.1 million dollars in fiscal 2015, a gain of $0.6 million in fiscal 2014 and a gain of $0.1 million in fiscal 2013 related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies. 13. Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases which expire at various dates through fiscal 2022 and require us to pay a portion of the related operating expenses such as maintenance, property taxes, and insurance. Certain facilities and equipment leases contain renewal options for periods up to ten years. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Certain facilities leases have free or escalating rent payment provisions. Rent expense under such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases, excluding the related operating expenses, which have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of a year as of March 31, 2015: (In thousands) Fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Thereafter Total minimum lease payments Amount $ $ 2,285 2,054 2,003 1,540 1,492 2,599 11,973 Rental expense for all non-cancelable operating leases amounted to $2.5 million, $2.5 million, and $2.4 million for fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation liability represents the estimated costs to bring certain office buildings that we lease back to their original condition after the termination of the lease. In instances where our lease agreements either contain make-whole provisions or subject us to remediation costs, we establish an asset retirement obligation liability with a corresponding leasehold improvement asset. The asset retirement obligation is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2015, the current and long-term portion of the asset retirement obligation liability was $35,000 and $0.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the current and long-term portion of the asset retirement obligation was $25,200 and $0.4 million, respectively. 63 Legal Contingencies Agilysys is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges, among other things, that point-of-sale and property management and other hospitality information technology products, software, components and/or systems sold by us infringe three patents owned by Ameranth purporting to cover generation and synchronization of menus, including restaurant menus, event tickets, and other products across fixed, wireless and/or internet platforms as well as synchronization of hospitality information and hospitality software applications across fixed, wireless and internet platforms. The complaint seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys fees. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter. On July 9, 2012, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging violations of federal and state wage and hour laws, rules and regulations pertaining primarily to pay for missed meals and rest periods and failure to reimburse business expenses. On May 19 2014, the court approved a settlement of the lawsuit pursuant to which we paid a gross settlement in the amount of approximately $1.5 million, which was included in "Accrued Liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the lawsuit was dismissed. 14. (Loss) Earnings per Share The following data shows the amounts used in computing (loss) earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares. (In thousands, except per share data) Numerator: Loss from continuing operations - basic and diluted Income from discontinued operations - basic and diluted Net (loss) income - basic and diluted Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding - basic and diluted (Loss) earnings per share - basic and diluted: Loss from continuing operations Income from discontinued operations Net (loss) income per share Year ended March 31, 2015 2014 2013 (11,497) $ — (11,497) $ (2,895) $ 19,992 17,097 $ (6,214) 4,916 (1,298) 22,338 22,135 21,880 (0.51) $ — (0.51) $ (0.13) $ 0.90 0.77 $ (0.28) 0.22 (0.06) $ $ $ $ Anti-dilutive stock options, SSARs, restricted shares and performance shares 1,382 1,806 1,781 Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes, 322,086, 155,777 and 139,767 of restricted shares and performance shares at March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as these shares were issued but were not vested and, therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic earnings per share at the balance sheet dates. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock options, stock-settled appreciation rights ("SSARs"), unvested restricted shares and unvested performance shares that are potentially dilutive securities. When a loss is reported, the denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share- 64 based compensation awards because doing so would be anti-dilutive. In addition, when a loss from continuing operations is reported, adjusting the denominator of diluted earnings per share would also be anti-dilutive to the loss per share, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for a discontinued operation. Therefore, for all periods presented, basic weighted-average shares outstanding were used in calculating the diluted net loss per share. 15. Share-based Compensation We may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted share units for up to 3.0 million common shares under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2011 Plan”). The maximum number of shares subject to stock options or SSARs that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 800,000 shares, and the maximum number of shares subject to restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted to an individual in a calendar year is 400,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted under the 2011 Plan is 1.0 million. For stock options and SSARs, the exercise price must be set at least equal to the closing market price of our common shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of stock option and SSAR awards is seven years from the date of grant. Stock option and SSARs awards vest over a period established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. SSARs may be granted in conjunction with, or independently from, a stock option granted under the 2011 Plan. SSARs granted in connection with a stock option are exercisable only to the extent that the stock option to which it relates is exercisable and the SSARs terminate upon the termination or exercise of the related stock option. Restricted shares and restricted share units, whether time-vested or performance-based, may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price that may be below their fair market value, but are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance-based awards may be conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and other conditions, restrictions, and contingencies. Restricted shares and restricted share units have the right to receive dividends, or dividend equivalents in the case of restricted share units, if any, subject to the same forfeiture provisions that apply to the underlying awards. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the 2011 Plan, for awards to employees, no performance-based restricted shares or restricted share units shall be based on a restriction period of less than one year, and any time-based restricted shares or restricted share units shall have a minimum restriction period of three years. We have a shareholder-approved 2006 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2006 Plan”), as well as, a 2000 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors and a 2000 Stock Incentive Plan that still have vested awards outstanding. Awards are no longer being granted from these incentive plans. We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and appreciation right exercises or restricted share and performance share awards. We record compensation expense related to stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share and performance share awards is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. The fair value of stock option and stock-settled appreciation right awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of our common shares. We recognized less than $0.1 million of excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options and SSARs in fiscal 2014. As discussed in Note 11, Income Taxes, in fiscal 2013 and 2012, we were in a net operating loss position for U.S. federal income taxes. Therefore, we did not recognize and will not recognize an income tax benefit related to stock options or SSARs exercised until that tax benefit can be realized. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for options, SSARs, restricted and performance awards included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013: (In thousands) Product development Sales and marketing General and administrative Total share-based compensation expense Year ended March 31, 2014 2013 2015 $ $ 1,168 135 1,837 3,140 $ $ 700 90 1,329 2,119 $ $ 475 65 1,098 1,638 65 Stock Options The following table summarizes the activity during fiscal 2015 for stock options awarded under the 2006 Plan: (In thousands, except share and per share data) Outstanding at April 1, 2014 Granted Exercised Cancelled/expired Outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2015 Number of Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price (per share) Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value 627,500 — (15,000) (30,000) 582,500 $ $ 15.26 — 13.76 13.11 15.41 1.1 $ — The following table presents additional information related to stock option activity during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013: (In thousands) Proceeds from stock options exercised Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised 2015 2014 2013 $ $ 102 $ 4 $ 169 $ 1,402 $ 67 382 All stock options are vested and we do not have any remaining unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to stock options. A total of 8,065 shares, net of 6,935 shares withheld to cover the applicable exercise price of the award, were issued from treasury shares to settle stock options exercised during fiscal 2015. Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights (“SSARs”) are rights granted to an employee to receive value equal to the difference in the price of our common shares on the date of the grant and on the date of exercise. This value is settled in common shares of Agilysys. We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of SSARs. The following table summarizes the principal assumptions utilized in valuing SSARs granted in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013: Risk-free interest rate Expected life (in years) Expected volatility Weighted average grant date fair value 2015 1.52% 5 82.56% $7.23 2014 1.05%-1.39% 5 80.78%-80.93% $7.96 2013 0.67%-0.89% 5 81.03%-83.77% $4.92 The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximates the expected life of the SSARs. The expected life is estimated using historical data representing the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding. The estimated fair value of the SSARs granted, less expected forfeitures, is recognized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing the graded vesting method. Under this method, the compensation cost related to unvested amounts begins to be recognized as of the grant date. 66 The following table summarizes the activity during fiscal 2015 for SSARs awarded under the 2011 Plan and the 2006 Plan: (In thousands, except share and per share data) Outstanding at April 1, 2014 Granted Exercised Forfeited Cancelled/expired Outstanding at March 31, 2015 Exercisable at March 31, 2015 Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2015 Number of Rights Weighted- Average Exercise Price (per right) Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value 320,236 115,020 (16,078) (11,835) (13,333) 394,010 286,849 375,666 $ $ $ $ 9.05 14.41 7.75 7.46 7.46 10.76 9.63 10.61 4.8 4.3 4.8 $ $ $ 388 388 388 The following table presents additional information related to SSARs activity during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013: (In thousands) Compensation expense Total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised Total fair value of SSARs vesting 2015 2014 2013 $ $ $ 792 $ 96 $ 779 $ 611 $ 2,131 $ 636 $ 595 373 778 As of March 31, 2015, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested SSARs was $0.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years. A total of 5,463 shares, net of 1,446 shares withheld to cover the employee’s minimum applicable income taxes, were issued from treasury shares to settle SSARs exercised during the twelve months ended March 31, 2015. The shares withheld were returned to treasury shares. Restricted Shares We granted shares to certain of our Directors, executives and key employees under the 2011 Plan, the vesting of which is service- based. The following table summarizes the activity during the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 for restricted shares awarded under the 2011 Plan: Outstanding at April 1, 2014 Granted Vested Forfeited Outstanding at March 31, 2015 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value (per share) 139,501 360,321 (154,900) (22,836) 322,086 $ $ 10.72 13.79 11.68 13.3 13.49 The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted shares is determined based upon the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. During the fiscal 2015, a total of 123,983 shares, net of 31,805 shares were withheld from the vested restricted shares to cover the employee's minimum applicable income taxes, were issued from treasury. The shares withheld were returned to treasury shares. 67 The following table presents additional information related to restricted stock activity during fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013: (In thousands) Compensation expense Total fair value of restricted share vesting 2015 2014 2013 $ $ 2,348 $ 1,572 $ 1,486 $ 1,579 $ 989 1,099 As of March 31, 2015, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock was $3.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.1 years. We do not include restricted stock in the calculation of earnings per share until the shares are vested. Performance Shares In fiscal 2013, we granted shares to certain of our key employees under the 2011 Plan, the vesting of which is contingent upon meeting various company-wide performance goals within a two-year period. The following table summarizes the activity during fiscal 2015 for performance shares awarded under the 2011 Plan: Outstanding at April 1, 2014 Granted Vested Outstanding at March 31, 2015 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value (per share) $ 17,728 — (17,728) $ — $ 8.64 — 8.64 8.64 The weighted-average grant date fair value of the performance shares is determined based upon the closing price of our common shares on the grant date and assumed that performance goals would be met at target. The following table presents additional information related to performance share activity during the fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013: (In thousands) Compensation expense Total fair value of performance share vesting 2015 2014 2013 $ $ 77 $ 174 $ 22 $ — 54 — Once attainment of the performance goals becomes probable, compensation expense related to performance share awards is recognized over the vesting period based upon the closing market price of our common shares on the grant date. Compensation expense related to performance share awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period based upon the closing market price of our common shares on the grant date. As of March 31, 2015, there is no remaining unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to non-vested performance shares. 16. Fair Value Measurements We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. The hierarchy indicates the extent to which pricing inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that are either directly or indirectly observable, or other observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates, and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include our own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables below. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the twelve months ended March 31, 2015. 68 The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value: Fair value measurement used Active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) Quoted prices in similar instruments and observable inputs (Level 2) Active markets for unobservable inputs (Level 3) Recorded value as of March 31, 2015 (In thousands) Assets: Corporate-owned life insurance — non- current Liabilities: Contingent consideration — current Contingent consideration — non-current $ 2,493 $ 8 104 — — $ — — — $ — 2,493 8 104 Fair value measurement used Quoted prices in similar instruments and observable inputs (Level 2) Active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) Active markets for unobservable inputs (Level 3) Recorded value as of March 31, 2014 (In thousands) Assets: Investments $ 28,999 $ — $ 28,999 $ Corporate-owned life insurance — current Corporate-owned life insurance — non- current 1,989 2,371 Liabilities: Contingent consideration - current $ 127 $ Contingent consideration - non-current 1,612 — — — $ — — — — $ — — 1,989 2,371 127 1,612 The fair value of investments, comprised of commercial paper and certificates of deposit, was determined using a market approach, based on prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar assets, and therefore, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The recorded value of the corporate-owned life insurance policies is adjusted to the cash surrender value of the policies obtained from the third party life insurance providers, which are not observable in the market, and therefore, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies are recorded within “Other expenses (income), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted earn-out payments based on the assessment of the likelihood that certain milestones would be achieved. 69 The following table presents a summary of changes in the fair value of the corporate-owned life insurance Level 3 asset for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014: (In thousands) Corporate-owned life insurance: Balance on April 1 Realized gains Unrealized gain relating to instruments held at reporting date Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, net Balance on March 31 Level 3 assets and liabilities 2015 2014 $ $ 4,360 57 65 (1,989) 2,493 $ $ 3,673 — 600 87 4,360 The inputs used to value our contingent consideration and employee benefit plan obligations are not observable in the market and therefore, these amounts are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents a summary of changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration Level 3 liability for fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014: (In thousands) Contingent consideration: Balance on April 1 Activity, payments and other charges (net) Fair value adjustment Balance on March 31 Level 3 assets and liabilities 2015 2014 $ $ 1,739 (9) (1,618) 112 $ $ — 1,739 — 1,739 The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the TMC acquisition was determined by calculating the probability- weighted earn-out payments based on the assessment of the likelihood that certain revenue milestones would be achieved. As of March 31, 2015, due to a decrease in expected revenues associated with the contingent consideration, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million within "Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 17. Quarterly Results (Unaudited) Because quarterly reporting of per share data is used independently for each reporting period, the sum of per share amounts for the four quarters in the fiscal year will not necessarily equal annual per share amounts. GAAP prohibits retroactive adjustment of quarterly per share amounts so that the sum of those amounts equals amounts for the full year. We have traditionally experienced seasonal revenue weakness during our fiscal first quarter ending June 30. Additionally, the timing of large one-time orders, such as those associated with significant remarketed product sales around large customer refresh cycles or significant volume rollouts, occasionally creates volatility in our quarterly results. 70 (In thousands except per share data) Net revenue Gross profit Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments Restructuring, severance and other charges Legal settlements Loss from continuing operations Net (loss) income Per share data-basic and diluted Loss from continuing operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations Net (loss) income (In thousands except per share data) Net revenue Gross profit Asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments Restructuring, severance and other charges Income (loss) from continuing operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes Net income (loss) Per share data-basic: Income (loss) from continuing operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations Net income (loss) Per share data-diluted: Income (loss) from continuing operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations Net income (loss) Year ended March 31, 2015 First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth Quarter 23,746 $ 14,674 — 370 149 $ (2,229) (2,229) $ 26,318 $ 16,669 — 448 54 $ (1,127) (1,127) $ 24,742 $ 14,129 — 95 — $ (2,715) (2,715) $ 28,708 $ 14,610 1,836 569 — (5,426) (5,426) $ Year 103,514 60,081 1,836 1,482 203 (11,497) (11,497) (0.1) $ — (0.1) $ (0.05) $ — (0.05) $ (0.12) $ — (0.12) $ (0.24) $ — (0.24) $ (0.51) — (0.51) Year ended March 31, 2014 First quarter Second quarter Third quarter Fourth Quarter 23,700 $ 15,637 — 55 24,846 $ 16,588 18 562 24,965 $ 15,155 309 206 27,750 $ 16,660 — 569 Year 101,261 64,040 327 1,392 789 $ 527 1,316 $ (1,310) $ 21,763 20,453 $ (1,711) $ (952) (2,663) $ (663) $ (1,346) (2,009) $ (2,895) 19,992 17,097 0.04 $ 0.02 0.06 $ (0.06) $ 0.98 0.92 $ (0.08) $ (0.04) (0.12) $ (0.03) $ (0.06) (0.09) $ 0.04 $ 0.02 0.06 $ (0.06) $ 0.98 0.92 $ (0.08) $ (0.04) (0.12) $ (0.03) $ (0.06) (0.09) $ (0.13) 0.90 0.77 (0.13) 0.90 0.77 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 71 18.

Change in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of Agilysys, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that Agilysys maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued their report regarding Agilysys' internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015, which is included elsewhere in this annual report. Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last quarter of fiscal 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 72 Item 9B.
