We have built a track record of quality solutions and client satisfaction through the timely, efficient, and successful completion ofnumerous projects for our clients. As a result, we have established long-term relationships with many of our clients who continue to engage us foradditional projects and serve as references for us. For the years ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 86%, 84%, and 81%, respectively, ofservices revenues were derived from clients who continued to utilize our services from the prior year, excluding any revenues from acquisitions completedin that year.·Vendor Relationship and Endorsements. We have built meaningful relationships with software providers, whose products we use to design andimplement solutions for our clients. These relationships enable us to reduce our cost of sales and sales cycle times and increase win rates by leveragingour partners' marketing efforts and endorsements. We also serve as a sales channel for our partners, helping them market and sell their software products.We are an IBM Premier Business Partner, a Microsoft National Systems Integrator and Gold Certified Partner, an Oracle Platinum Partner, a Goldsalesforce.com Cloud Alliance Partner, a Team TIBCO Partner, and an EMC Select Services Team Partner.

In addition to our offshore capabilities, we employ a number of foreignnationals in the United States on H1-B visas. The facility in Chennai, India is also a recruiting and development facility used to continue to grow ourbase of H1-B foreign national colleagues. As of December 31, 2013, we had 189 colleagues at the Hangzhou, China facility, 75 colleagues at theChennai, India facility, and 240 colleagues with H1-B visas. We intend to continue to leverage our existing offshore capabilities to support our growth andprovide our clients flexible options for project delivery.CompetitionThe market for the services we provide is competitive and has low barriers to entry. We believe that our competitors fall into several categories,including:·small local consulting firms that operate in no more than one or two geographic regions;·boutique consulting firms, such as Prolifics and Avanade;·national consulting firms, such as Accenture, Deloitte Consulting, Cognizant, and Sapient;·in-house professional services organizations of software companies; and·offshore providers, such as Infosys Technologies Limited and Wipro Limited.We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include domain expertise, track record and customer references, growingpartner network with leading technology companies, quality of proposed solutions, service quality and performance, efficiency, reliability, scalability andfeatures of the software platforms upon which the solutions are based, and the ability to implement solutions quickly and respond on a timely basis tocustomer needs. In addition, because of the relatively low barriers to entry into this market, we expect to face additional competition from new entrants. Weexpect competition from offshore outsourcing and development companies to continue.Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger client bases, and greater name recognition, and possess significantly greater financial,technical, and marketing resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be able to attract customers to which we market our services and adaptmore quickly to new technologies or evolving customer or industry requirements.4 EmployeesAs of December 31, 2013, we had 1,874 colleagues, 1,573 of which were billable (excluding 167 billable subcontractors) and 301 which wereinvolved in sales, administration, and marketing. None of our colleagues are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have never experienced astrike or similar work stoppage. We are committed to the continued development of our colleagues.Sales and Marketing. As of December 31, 2013, we had a 75-person direct solutions-oriented sales force. We reward our sales force for developingand maintaining relationships with our clients and seeking out follow-up engagements as well as leveraging those relationships to forge new relationships indifferent areas of the business and with our clients' business partners.

Our direct sales force works in tandem with the sales and marketing groups of our partners to identify potential new clients andprojects. Our partnerships with these companies enable us to reduce our cost of sales and sales cycle times and increase win rates by leveraging our partners'marketing efforts and endorsements.Recruiting. We are dedicated to hiring, developing, and retaining experienced, motivated technology professionals who combine a depth ofunderstanding of current Internet and legacy technologies with the ability to implement complex and cutting-edge solutions.Our recruiting efforts are an important element of our continuing operations and future growth. We generally target technology professionals withextensive experience and demonstrated expertise. To attract technology professionals, we use a broad range of sources including on-staff recruiters, outsiderecruiting firms, internal referrals, other technology companies and technical associations, and the Internet. After initially identifying qualified candidates, weconduct an extensive screening and interview process.Retention. We believe that our focus on a core set of business-driven technology solutions, applications, and software platforms and our commitmentto career development through continued training and advancement opportunities makes us an attractive career choice for experienced professionals. Becauseour strategic partners are established and emerging market leaders, our technology colleagues have an opportunity to work with cutting-edge informationtechnology. We foster professional development by training our technology colleagues in the skills critical to successful consulting engagements such asimplementation methodology and project management. We believe in promoting from within whenever possible and our current acquisition strategy allows ouremployees to continue to grow and develop in these emerging markets horizontally and vertically.

Our website can be visited at www.perficient.com. We makeavailable free of charge through our website our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendmentsto those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as soon asreasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. The information contained or incorporated in our website is notpart of this document.5 Item 1A.Risk Factors. You should carefully consider the following factors together with the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into thisAnnual Report on Form 10-K before you decide to buy our common stock. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financialcondition, operating results, cash flows, or stock price. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that may broadly affectcompanies, including us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, or stock price.Our results of operations could be adversely affected by volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions and the effects of these conditions onour clients' businesses and levels of business activity.Global macroeconomic conditions affect our clients' businesses and the markets they serve. Developments, such as the recent recessions andinstability in the United States and Europe, deteriorations in the Chinese economy, and the inflationary risks associated with higher commodity prices, amongother developments, may have an adverse effect on our client's business and, consequently, on our revenue growth and profitability. Volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions in the markets we serve have undermined and could in the future undermine business confidenceand cause our clients to reduce or defer their spending on new technologies or initiatives or terminate existing contracts, which would negatively affect ourbusiness. Growth in markets we serve could be at a slow rate, or could stagnate, in each case, for an extended period of time. Differing economic conditionsand patterns of economic growth and contraction in the geographical regions in which we operate and the industries we serve have affected and may in thefuture affect demand for our services. A material portion of our revenues and profitability is derived from our clients in North America. Weakening demand inthis market could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Ongoing economic volatility and uncertainty affects our business in a number ofother ways, including making it more difficult to accurately forecast client demand beyond the short term and effectively build our revenue and resourceplans, particularly in consulting. This could result, for example, in us not having the level of appropriate personnel where they are needed or having to useinvoluntary terminations as means to keep our supply of skills and resources in balance.Economic volatility and uncertainty is particularly challenging because it may take some time for the effects and resulting changes in demandpatterns to manifest themselves in our business and results of operations. Changing demand patterns from economic volatility and uncertainty could have asignificant negative impact on our results of operations.Our business depends on generating and maintaining ongoing, profitable client demand for our services and solutions, and a significant reductionin such demand could materially affect our results of operations.Our revenue and profitability depend on the demand for our services and favorable margins, which could be negatively affected by numerousfactors, many of which are beyond our control and unrelated to our work product. As described above, volatile, negative or uncertain global economicconditions have adversely affected and could in the future adversely affect client demand for our services and solutions. In addition, developments in theindustries we serve, which may be rapid, could shift demand to services and solutions where we are less competitive, or might require significant investmentby us to upgrade, enhance or expand our services and solutions to meet that demand. Companies in the industries we serve sometimes seek to achieveeconomies of scale and other synergies by combining with or acquiring other companies. If one of our current clients merges or consolidates with a companythat relies on another provider for its consulting, systems integration and technology, or outsourcing services, we may lose work from that client or lose theopportunity to gain additional work if we are not successful in generating new opportunities from the merger or consolidation. Many of our consultingcontracts are less than 12 months in duration, and these contracts typically permit a client to terminate the agreement with as little as 10 days' notice. If a clientis dissatisfied with our services and we are unable to effectively respond to its needs, the client might terminate existing contracts, or reduce or eliminatespending on the services and solutions we provide. Additionally, a client could choose not to retain us for additional stages of a project, try to renegotiate theterms of its contract or cancel or delay additional planned work. When contracts are terminated or not renewed, we lose the anticipated revenues, and it maytake significant time to replace the level of revenues lost. Consequently, our results of operations in subsequent periods could be materially lower thanexpected. The specific business or financial condition of a client, changes in management and changes in a client's strategy also are all factors that can resultin terminations, cancellations or delays. It could also result in pressure to reduce the cost of our services.6 If we are unable to keep our supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand and attract and retain professionals with strongleadership skills, our business, the utilization rate of our professionals and our results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Our success depends, in large part, upon our ability to keep our supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand and our ability toattract and retain personnel with the knowledge and skills to lead our business. Experienced personnel in our industry are in high demand, and there is muchcompetition to attract qualified personnel. We must hire, retain and motivate appropriate numbers of talented people with diverse skills in order to serve clientsacross North America, respond quickly to rapid and ongoing technology, industry and macroeconomic developments and grow and manage our business. Forexample, if we are unable to hire or continually train our employees to keep pace with the rapid and continuing changes in technology and the industries weserve or changes in the types of services clients are demanding we may not be able to develop and deliver new services and solutions to fulfill client demand.As we expand our services and solutions, we must also hire and retain an increasing number of professionals with different skills and professionalexpectations than those of the professionals we have historically hired and retained. Additionally, if we are unable to successfully integrate, motivate and retainthese professionals, our ability to continue to secure work in those industries and for our services and solutions may suffer. We are dependent on retaining our senior executives and other experienced managers, and if we are unable to do so, our ability to develop newbusiness and effectively lead our current projects could be jeopardized. We depend on identifying, developing, and retaining key employees to provideleadership and direction for our businesses. This includes developing talent and leadership capabilities in emerging markets, where the depth of skilledemployees is often limited and competition for these resources is great. Our geographic expansion strategy in emerging markets depends on our ability toattract, retain and integrate both local business leaders and people with the appropriate skills. Similarly, our profitability depends on our ability to effectively utilize personnel with the right mix of skills and experience to perform services forour clients, including our ability to transition employees to new assignments on a timely basis. If we are unable to effectively deploy our employees on a timelybasis to fulfill the needs of our clients, our ability to perform our work profitably could suffer. If the utilization rate of our professionals is too high, it couldhave an adverse effect on employee engagement and attrition, the quality of the work performed and our ability to staff projects. If our utilization rate is toolow, our profitability and the engagement of our employees could suffer. The costs associated with recruiting and training employees are significant. Animportant element of our global business model is the deployment of our employees around the world, which allows us to move talent as needed. Therefore, ifwe are not able to deploy the talent we need because of increased regulation of immigration or work visas, including limitations placed on the number of visasgranted, limitations on the type of work performed or location in which it can be performed, and new or higher minimum salary requirements, it could bemore difficult to staff our employees on client engagements and could increase our costs. Our equity-based incentive compensation plans are designed to reward high-performing personnel for their contributions and provide incentives forthem to remain with us. If the anticipated value of such incentives does not materialize because of volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price,or if our total compensation package is not viewed as being competitive, our ability to attract and retain the personnel we need could be adversely affected. Inaddition, if we do not obtain the shareholder approval needed to continue granting equity awards under our share plans in the amounts we believe arenecessary, our ability to attract and retain personnel could be negatively affected.There is a risk that at certain points in time and in certain geographical regions, we will find it difficult to hire and retain a sufficient number ofemployees with the skills or backgrounds to meet current and/or future demand. In these cases, we might need to redeploy existing personnel or increase ourreliance on subcontractors to fill certain labor needs, and if not done effectively, our profitability could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if demand for ourservices were to escalate at a high rate, we may need to adjust our compensation practices, which could put upward pressure on our costs and adversely affectour profitability if we are unable to recover these increased costs. At certain times, however, we may also have more personnel than we need in certain skill setsor geographies. In these situations, we must evaluate voluntary attrition and use reduced levels of new hiring and increased involuntary terminations as meansto keep our supply of skills and resources in balance with client demand in those geographies.7 The market for the information technology consulting services in which we operate is highly competitive, and we might not be able to competeeffectively.The market for the information technology consulting services we provide is competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to rapid technological change.Our competitors include: large multinational providers that offer some or all of the services that we do; off-shore service providers in lower-cost locations thatoffer services similar to those we offer, often at highly competitive prices and on more aggressive contractual terms; niche solution and service providers orlocal competitors that compete with us in a specific geographic market, industry segment or service area, including companies that provide new or alternativeproducts, service or delivery models; accounting firms that are expanding or building their provision of some consulting services, including throughacquisitions; and in-house departments of large corporations that use their own resources, rather than engage an outside firm for the types of services weprovide.Many of the larger regional and national information technology consulting firms have substantially longer operating histories, more establishedreputations and potential vendor relationships, greater financial resources, sales and marketing organizations, market penetration, and research anddevelopment capabilities, as well as broader product offerings, greater market presence, and name recognition.In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market and therefore new entrants may compete with us in the future. For example, dueto the rapid changes and volatility in our market, many well-capitalized companies, including some of our partners, that have focused on sectors of thesoftware and services industry that are not competitive with our business may refocus their activities and deploy their resources to be competitive with us.Our future financial performance is largely dependent on our ability to compete successfully in the markets we currently serve. If we are unable tocompete successfully, we could lose market share and clients to competitors, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.In addition, we may face greater competition due to consolidation of companies in the technology sector, through strategic mergers or acquisition.Consolidation activity may result in new competitors with greater scale, a broader footprint or offerings that are more attractive than ours. We believe that thiscompetition could have a negative effect on our ability to compete for new work and skilled professionals. One or more of our competitors may develop andimplement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price reductions without adversely affecting their profit margins. In addition, competitorsmay win client engagements by significantly discounting their services in exchange for a client's promise to purchase other goods and services from thecompetitor, either concurrently or in the future. These activities may potentially force us to lower our prices and suffer reduced operating margins. Any of thesenegative effects could significantly impair our results of operations and financial condition. We may not be able to compete successfully against new orexisting competitors.We could have liability or our reputation could be damaged if we fail to protect client data or information systems or if our information systemsare breached.We are dependent on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information and to communicate amongour locations and with our partners and clients. Security breaches of this infrastructure could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of our systems and potentialunauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In providing services to clients, we are also required at times to manage, utilize, and store sensitive orconfidential client or employee data. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect this information, such as various U.S.federal and state laws governing the protection of personally identifiable information. If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards orintentionally breaches our established controls with respect to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject tomonetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines, and/or criminal prosecution. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or employeedata, whether through systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients. Similarly,unauthorized access to or through our information systems or those we develop for our clients, whether by our employees or third parties, could result innegative publicity, significant remediation costs, legal liability, and damage to our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations. In addition, our liability insurance might not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to security breaches, cyber-attacksand other related breaches.8 We might not be successful at identifying, acquiring, or integrating other businesses.We have continued our disciplined acquisition strategy designed to enhance or add to our offerings of services and solutions, or to enable us toexpand in certain geographic and other markets. Depending on the opportunities available, we may increase our investment in such acquisitions. We may notsuccessfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, succeed in completing targeted transactions, or achieve desired results of operations. Furthermore, weface risks in successfully integrating any businesses we acquire. Ongoing business may be disrupted and our management's attention may be diverted byacquisitions, transition or integration activities. In addition, we might need to dedicate additional management and other resources, and our organizationalstructure could make it difficult for us to efficiently integrate acquired businesses into our ongoing operations and assimilate and retain employees of thosebusinesses into our culture and operations.We might fail to realize the expected benefits or strategic objectives of any acquisition we make. We might not achieve our expected return oninvestment, or we may lose money. We may be adversely impacted by liabilities that we assume from a company we acquire, including from that company'sknown and unknown obligations, intellectual property or other assets, terminated employees, current or former clients, or other third parties, and we may failto identify or adequately assess the magnitude of certain liabilities, shortcomings or other circumstances prior to acquisition, which could result in unexpectedlegal or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes, or other adverse effects on our business. If we are unable tocomplete the number and kind of acquisitions for which we plan, or if we are inefficient or unsuccessful at integrating any acquired businesses into ouroperations, we may not be able to achieve our planned rates of growth or improve our market share, profitability, or competitive position in specific markets orservices.International operations subject us to additional political and economic risks that could have an adverse impact on our business.We maintain a global development center in Hangzhou, China and a technology consulting recruiting and development facility in Chennai, India. Weare subject to certain risks related to expanding our presence into non-U.S. regions, including risks related to complying with a wide variety of national andlocal laws, restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies, and multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures. In addition, we may facecompetition from companies that may have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations generally. We may also facedifficulties integrating new facilities in different countries into our existing operations, as well as integrating employees that we hire in different countries intoour existing corporate culture.Furthermore, there are risks inherent in operating in and expanding into non-U.S. regions, including, but not limited to:·political and economic instability;·global health conditions and potential natural disasters;·unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;·international currency controls and exchange rate fluctuations;·reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and·additional vulnerability from terrorist groups targeting U.S. interests abroad.Any one or more of the factors set forth above could have a material adverse effect on our international operations and, consequently, on ourbusiness, financial condition, and operating results.Immigration restrictions related to H1-B visas could hinder our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results ofoperations.Less than 15% of our billable workforce is comprised of skilled foreign nationals holding H1-B visas. We also own a recruiting and developmentfacility in Chennai, India to continue to grow our base of H1-B foreign national colleagues. The H1-B visa classification enables us to hire qualified foreignworkers in positions that require the equivalent of at least a bachelor's degree in the U.S. in a specialty occupation such as technology systems engineering andanalysis. The H1-B visa generally permits an individual to work and live in the U.S. for a period of three to six years, with some extensions available. Thenumber of new H1-B petitions approved in any federal fiscal year is limited, making the H1-B visas necessary to bring foreign employees to the U.S.unobtainable in years in which the limit is reached. If we are unable to obtain all of the H1-B visas for which we apply, our growth may be hindered.Our results of operations could materially suffer if we are not able to obtain favorable pricing.If we are not able to obtain favorable pricing for our services, our revenues and profitability could materially suffer. The rates we are able to chargefor our services are affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:·general economic and political conditions;·the competitive environment in our industry, as described below;·our clients' desire to reduce their costs;·our ability to accurately estimate, attain, and sustain contract revenues, margins, and cash flows over the full contract period; and·procurement practices of clients and their use of third-party advisors.The competitive environment in our industry affects our ability to obtain favorable pricing in a number of ways, any of which could have a materialnegative impact on our results of operations. The less we are able to differentiate our services and solutions and/or clearly convey the value of our services andsolutions, the more risk we have that they will be seen as commodities, with price being the driving factor in selecting a service provider. In addition, theintroduction of new services or products by competitors could reduce our ability to obtain favorable pricing for the services or products we offer. Competitorsmay be willing, at times, to price contracts lower than us in an effort to enter the market or increase market share. Further, if competitors develop andimplement methodologies that yield greater efficiency and productivity, they may be better positioned to offer services similar to ours at lower prices. 9 If our negotiated fees do not accurately anticipate the cost and complexity of performing our work, then our contracts could be unprofitable.We negotiate fees with our clients utilizing a range of pricing structures and conditions, including time and materials and fixed fee contracts. Our feesare highly dependent on our internal forecasts and predictions about the level of effort and cost necessary to deliver such services and solutions, which mightbe based on limited data and could turn out to be materially inaccurate. If we do not accurately estimate the level of effort or cost, our contracts could yieldlower profit margins than planned, or be unprofitable. We could face greater risk when negotiating fees for our contracts that involve the coordination ofoperations and workforces in multiple locations and/or utilizing workforces with different skillsets and competencies. There is a risk that we will underpriceour contracts, fail to accurately estimate the costs of performing the work, or fail to accurately assess the risks associated with potential contracts. Inparticular, any increased or unexpected costs, delays or failures to achieve anticipated cost savings, or unexpected risks we encounter in connection with theperformance of this work, including those caused by factors outside our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable, which could havean adverse effect on our profit margin.Our business could be materially adversely affected if we incur legal liability in connection with providing our services and solutions.We could be subject to significant legal liability and litigation expense if we fail to meet our contractual obligations, or otherwise breach obligations, tothird parties, including clients, partners, employees and former employees, and other parties with whom we conduct business, or if our subcontractors breachor dispute the terms of our agreements with them and impede our ability to meet our obligations to our clients. We may enter into agreements with non-standardterms because we perceive an important economic opportunity or because our personnel did not adequately follow our contracting guidelines. In addition, thecontracting practices of competitors, along with the demands of increasingly sophisticated clients, may cause contract terms and conditions that areunfavorable to us to become new standards in the marketplace. We may find ourselves committed to providing services or solutions that we are unable todeliver or whose delivery will reduce our profitability or cause us financial loss. If we cannot or do not meet our contractual obligations and if our potentialliability is not adequately limited through the terms of our agreements, liability limitations are not enforced or a third party alleges fraud or other wrongdoing toprevent us from relying upon those contractual protections, we might face significant legal liability and litigation expense and our results of operations could bematerially adversely affected. A failure of a client's system based on our services or solutions could also subject us to a claim for significant damages thatcould materially adversely affect our results of operations. In addition to expense, litigation can be lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations, andlitigation results can be unpredictable. While we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts ofpotential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts recoverable. Even if we believe a claim is covered by insurance, insurersmay dispute our entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if they prevail, the amount of our recovery.Our results of operations and ability to grow could be materially negatively affected if we cannot adapt and expand our services and solutions inresponse to ongoing changes in technology and offerings by new entrants.Our success depends on our ability to continue to develop and implement services and solutions that anticipate and respond to rapid and continuingchanges in technology and industry developments and offerings by new entrants to serve the evolving needs of our clients. Current areas of significant changeinclude mobility, cloud-based computing and the processing and analyzing of large amounts of data. Technological developments such as these may materiallyaffect the cost and use of technology by our clients. Our growth strategy focuses on responding to these types of developments by driving innovation for ourcore business as well as through new business initiatives beyond our core business that will enable us to differentiate our services and solutions. If we do notsufficiently invest in new technology and industry developments, or if we do not make the right strategic investments to respond to these developments andsuccessfully drive innovation, our services and solutions, our results of operations, and our ability to develop and maintain a competitive advantage andcontinue to grow could be negatively affected.In addition, we operate in a quickly evolving environment, in which there currently are, and we expect will continue to be, new technology entrants.New services or technologies offered by competitors or new entrants may make our offerings less differentiated or less competitive, when compared to otheralternatives, which may adversely affect our results of operations.The loss of one or more of our significant software vendors could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.We have significant relationships with software vendors including IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft. Our business relationships with these companiesenable us to reduce our cost of acquiring customers and increase win rates through leveraging our vendors' marketing efforts and strong vendor endorsements. The loss of one or more of these relationships and endorsements could increase our sales and marketing costs, lead to longer sales cycles, harm our reputationand brand recognition, reduce our revenues, and adversely affect our results of operations. The financial impact of the loss of one or more software vendors isnot reasonably estimable. Our services could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.We cannot be sure that our services do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and we could have infringement claims assertedagainst us. These claims may harm our reputation, cause our management to expend significant time in connection with any defense, and cost us money. Wemay be required to indemnify clients for any expense or liabilities they incur resulting from claimed infringement and these expenses could exceed the amountspaid to us by the client for services we have performed. Any claims in this area, even if won by us, could be costly, time-consuming, and harmful to ourreputation.10 We have only a limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to our success.Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary methodologies and other intellectual property. Existing laws of somecountries in which we provide services or solutions might offer only limited protection of our intellectual property rights. We rely upon a combination of tradesecrets, confidentiality policies, nondisclosure, and other contractual arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. These laws are subject to changeat any time and could further restrict our ability to protect our innovations. Our intellectual property rights may not prevent competitors from independentlydeveloping products and services similar to or duplicative of ours. Further, the steps we take in this regard might not be adequate to prevent or deterinfringement or other misappropriation of our intellectual property by competitors, former employees or other third parties, and we might not be able to detectunauthorized use of, or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Enforcing our rights might also require considerable time,money and oversight and we may not be successful in enforcing our rights.Depending on the circumstances, we might need to grant a specific client greater rights in intellectual property developed in connection with a contractthan we otherwise generally do. In certain situations, we might forego all rights to the use of intellectual property we help create, which would limit our abilityto reuse that intellectual property for other clients. Any limitation on our ability to provide a service or solution could cause us to lose revenue-generatingopportunities and require us to incur additional expenses to develop new or modified solutions for future projects.Our ability to attract and retain business may depend on our reputation in the marketplace.We believe the Perficient brand name and our reputation are important corporate assets that help distinguish our services from those of ourcompetitors and also contribute to our efforts to recruit and retain talented employees. However, our corporate reputation is potentially susceptible to materialdamage by events such as disputes with clients, information technology security breaches or service outages, or other delivery failures. Similarly, ourreputation could be damaged by actions or statements of current or former clients, employees, competitors, vendors, as well as members of the investmentcommunity and the media. There is a risk that negative information could adversely affect our business. Damage to our reputation could be difficult and time-consuming to repair, could make potential or existing clients reluctant to select us for new engagements, resulting in a loss of business, and could adverselyaffect our recruitment and retention efforts. Damage to our reputation could also reduce the value and effectiveness of the Perficient brand name and couldreduce investor confidence in us, materially adversely affecting our share price.Our profitability could suffer if our cost-management strategies are unsuccessful.Our ability to improve or maintain our profitability is dependent on our being able to successfully manage our costs. Our cost management strategiesinclude maintaining appropriate alignment between the demand for our services and our resource capacity, optimizing the costs of service delivery andmaintaining or improving our sales and marketing and general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues. These actions and other cost-managementefforts may not be successful, our efficiency may not be enhanced and we may not achieve desired levels of profitability. Because of the significant stepstaken in the past to reduce costs, we may not be able to continue to deliver efficiencies in our cost management, to the same degree as in the past. If we are noteffective in reducing our operating costs in response to changes in demand or pricing, we might not be able to manage significantly larger and more diverseworkforces as we increase the number of colleagues and execute our growth strategy, control our costs or improve our efficiency, and our profitability could benegatively affected.Changes in our level of taxes, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations andfinancial condition.We are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. We calculate and provide for income taxes in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. Taxaccounting often involves complex matters and requires our judgment to determine our corporate provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. We aresubject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities have disagreed, and may in the future disagree, with our judgments, or may takeincreasingly aggressive positions opposing the judgments we make. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness ofour tax liabilities. However, our judgments might not be sustained as a result of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid could be different from theamounts previously recorded. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries withdiffering statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. Tax rates in the jurisdictions in which weoperate may change as a result of macroeconomic or other factors outside of our control. Increases in the tax rate in any of the jurisdictions in which we operatecould have a negative impact on our profitability. In addition, changes in tax laws, treaties, or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may beunpredictable and could materially adversely affect our tax position. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operationsand financial condition.If we do not effectively manage expected future growth, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.Our ability to operate profitably with positive cash flows depends partially on how effectively we manage our expected future growth. In order tocreate the additional capacity necessary to accommodate an increase in demand for our services, we may need to implement new or upgraded operational andfinancial systems, procedures and controls, open new offices, and hire additional colleagues. Implementation of these new or upgraded systems, procedures,and controls may require substantial management efforts and our efforts to do so may not be successful. The opening of new offices (including internationallocations) or the hiring of additional colleagues may result in idle or underutilized capacity. We continually assess the expected capacity and utilization of ouroffices and colleagues. We may not be able to achieve or maintain optimal utilization of our offices and colleagues. If demand for our services does not meet ourexpectations, our revenues and cash flows may not be sufficient to offset these expenses and our results of operations and cash flows could be adverselyaffected.11 If we are unable to collect our receivables or unbilled services, our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be adverselyaffected.Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our clients of the amounts they owe us for work performed. We evaluatethe financial condition of our clients and usually bill and collect on relatively short cycles. We have established allowances for losses of receivables andunbilled services. Actual losses on client balances could differ from those that we currently anticipate and as a result we might need to adjust our allowances.We might not accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients. Macroeconomic conditions could also result in financial difficulties for our clients,including bankruptcy and insolvency. This could cause clients to delay payments to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements that couldincrease our receivables balance, or default on their payment obligations to us. Recovery of client financing and timely collection of client balances alsodepends on our ability to complete our contractual commitments and bill and collect our contracted revenues. If we are unable to meet our contractualrequirements, we might experience delays in collection of and/or be unable to collect our client balances, and if this occurs, our results of operations and cashflows could be adversely affected. In addition, if we experience an increase in the time to bill and collect for our services, our cash flows could be adverselyaffected.Our stock price and results of operations could fluctuate and be difficult to predict.Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and could continue to fluctuate in the future in response to various factors. These factors include:·changes in macroeconomic or political factors unrelated to our business;·general or industry-specific market conditions or changes in financial markets;·announcements by us or competitors about developments in our business or prospects;·projections or speculation about our business or that of competitors by the media or investment analysts; and·our ability to meet our growth and financial objectives, including with respect to our overall revenue growth, revenue growth for our priority emergingmarkets and earnings per share growth.Our results of operations have varied in the past and could vary significantly from quarter to quarter in the future, making them difficult to predict.Some of the factors that could cause our results of operations to vary include:·the business decisions of our clients to begin to curtail or reduce the use of our services, including in response to changes in macroeconomic or politicalconditions unrelated to our business or general market conditions;·periodic differences between our clients' estimated and actual levels of business activity associated with ongoing work, as well as the stage of completionof existing projects and/or their termination or restructuring;·contract delivery inefficiencies, such as those due to poor delivery or changes in forecasts;·our ability to transition employees quickly from completed to new projects and maintain an appropriate headcount in each of our workforces;·acquisition, integration and operational costs related to businesses acquired;·the introduction of new products or services by us, competitors or partners;·changes in our pricing or competitors' pricing;·our ability to manage costs, including those for our own or subcontracted personnel, travel, support services and severance;·our ability to limit and manage the incurrence of pre-contract costs, which must be expensed without corresponding revenues, which are then recognizedin later periods without the corresponding costs;·changes in, or the application of changes in, accounting principles or pronouncements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, particularlythose related to revenue recognition;·currency exchange rate fluctuations;·changes in estimates, accruals or payments of variable compensation to our employees;·global, regional and local economic and political conditions and related risks, including acts of terrorism; and·seasonality, including number of workdays and holidays and summer vacations.As a result of any of the above factors, or any of the other risks described in this Item 1A, "Risk Factors," our stock price could be difficult topredict, and our stock price in the past might not be a good indicator of the price of our stock in the future.12 We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us. The raising of any additional capital may dilute yourownership percentage in our stock.As of December 31, 2013, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $7.0 million and a borrowing capacity of $55.8 million, and acommitment to increase our borrowing capacity by $25.0 million. Of the $7.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013, $4.0 million washeld by our Chinese operations and is considered to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. We intend to continue to make investments to support ourbusiness growth and may require additional funds if our capital is insufficient to pursue business opportunities and respond to business challenges.Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity orconvertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, andprivileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to ourcapital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursuebusiness opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If weare unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond tobusiness challenges could be significantly limited.Our officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders own a large percentage of our voting securities and their interests may differ from otherstockholders.Our executive officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders beneficially own or control approximately 18% of the voting power of ourcommon stock. This concentration of voting power of our common stock may make it difficult for our other stockholders to successfully approve or defeatmatters that may be submitted for action by our stockholders. It may also have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control of Perficient.It may be difficult for another company to acquire us, and this could depress our stock price.In addition to the voting securities held by our officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders, provisions contained in our certificate ofincorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law could make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Ourcertificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable by authorizing theissuance of "blank check" preferred stock. In addition, provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law also restrict some business combinations withinterested stockholders. These provisions are intended to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow the Board of Directors the opportunity toconsider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing stockholder value. However, these provisions may also discourage acquisition proposals, or delayor prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock price.Item 1B.Unresolved Staff Comments.None.Item 2.Properties.We have offices in multiple markets throughout North America and in China, India, and Canada. Our principal executive operations are located inSt. Louis, Missouri where we have leased approximately 5,100 square feet for these functions. In late 2013, we entered into a new lease agreement forapproximately 31,000 square feet which will consolidate our St. Louis locations, including our principal executive operations. The transition to the newlocation will occur over the course of 2014 and is not expected to materially impact the operations of the Company. We do not own any real property; all of ouroffice space is leased under long-term leases with varying expiration dates. We believe our facilities are adequate to meet our needs in the near future.Item 3.Legal Proceedings.We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or otherproceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot bepredicted accurately, we do not expect any currently pending matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cashflows of Perficient.Item 4.Mine Safety Disclosures.Not applicable.13 PART IIItem 5.Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.Our common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "PRFT." The following table sets forth, for the periodsindicated, the high and low sale prices per share of our common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market since January 1, 2012. High Low Year Ending December 31, 2013: First Quarter $12.38 $11.14 Second Quarter 13.95 10.00 Third Quarter 18.51 12.51 Fourth Quarter 24.11 17.25 Year Ending December 31, 2012: First Quarter $12.80 $10.24 Second Quarter 12.95 10.62 Third Quarter 13.54 9.79 Fourth Quarter 12.38 9.78 On March 3, 2014, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market was $20.08 per share. There wereapproximately 358 stockholders of record of our common stock as of March 3, 2014, including 260 restricted account holders.We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Ourcredit facility currently prohibits the payment of cash dividends without the prior written consent of the lenders.Information on our Equity Compensation Plan has been included in Part III, Item 11 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.Unregistered Sales of SecuritiesIn connection with our acquisitions of TriTek, Clear Task and CoreMatrix during 2013, we issued: 483,799 unregistered shares of our commonstock to TriTek's principals on May 1, 2013; 144,522 unregistered shares of our common stock to Clear Task on May 17, 2013; and 172,117 unregisteredshares of our common stock to CoreMatrix on October 11, 2013. For each of these issuances, we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of the SecuritiesAct of 1933, as amended, as the basis for exemption from registration. These shares were issued in separate, privately negotiated transactions and notpursuant to any public solicitation.Issuer Purchases of Equity SecuritiesPrior to 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $70.0 million of our common stock. In June 2013, our Board of Directorsauthorized the repurchase of up to an additional $20.0 million of our common stock for a total repurchase program of $90.0 million at December 31, 2013. The repurchase program expires December 31, 2014. The program could be suspended or discontinued at any time, based on market, economic, or businessconditions.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain certain "forward-looking" information within the meaning of the PrivateSecurities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the resultsdiscussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "RiskFactors."OverviewWe are an information technology consulting firm serving Forbes Global 2000 and other large enterprise companies with a primary focus on theUnited States. We help our clients gain competitive advantage by using Internet-based technologies to make their businesses more responsive to marketopportunities and threats, strengthen relationships with their customers, suppliers and partners, improve productivity, and reduce information technologycosts. We design, build, and deliver business-driven technology solutions using third party software products. Our solutions include business analysis,portals and collaboration, business integration, user experience, enterprise content management, customer relationship management, interactive design,enterprise performance management, business process management, business intelligence, eCommerce, mobile platforms, custom applications, andtechnology platform implementations, among others. Our solutions enable our clients to operate a real-time enterprise that dynamically adapts businessprocesses and the systems that support them to meet the changing demands of an increasingly global, Internet-driven, and competitive marketplace.15 Services RevenuesServices revenues are derived from professional services that include developing, implementing, integrating, automating and extending businessprocesses, technology infrastructure, and software applications. Most of our projects are performed on a time and materials basis, while a smaller portion ofour revenues is derived from projects performed on a fixed fee basis. Fixed fee engagements represented approximately 10% of our services revenues for the yearended December 31, 2013 compared to 11% for both years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. For time and material projects, revenues are recognized andbilled by multiplying the number of hours our professionals expend in the performance of the project by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects,revenues are generally recognized using an input method based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Amounts invoiced and collected inexcess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenues. On most projects, we are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging,and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenues. The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate depending on thelocation of our clients, the total number of our projects that require travel, and whether our arrangements with our clients provide for the reimbursement oftravel and other project-related expenses.Software and Hardware RevenuesSoftware and hardware revenues are derived from sales of third-party software and hardware. Revenues from sales of third-party software andhardware are generally recorded on a gross basis provided we act as a principal in the transaction. On rare occasions, we do not meet the requirements to beconsidered a principal in the transaction and act as an agent. In these cases, revenues are recorded on a net basis. Software and hardware revenues are expectedto fluctuate depending on our clients' demand for these products.If we enter into contracts for the sale of services and software or hardware, management evaluates whether each element should be accounted forseparately by considering the following criteria: (1) whether the deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis; and (2) whether delivery orperformance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in our control (only if the arrangement includes a general right of returnrelated to the delivered item). Further, for sales of software and services, management also evaluates whether the services are essential to the functionality of thesoftware and whether management has fair value evidence for each deliverable. If management concludes that the separation criteria are met, then it accountsfor each deliverable in the transaction separately, based on the relevant revenue recognition policies. Generally, all deliverables of our multiple elementarrangements meet these criteria and are accounted for separately, with the arrangement consideration allocated among the deliverables using vendor specificobjective evidence of the selling price. As a result, we generally recognize software and hardware sales upon delivery to the customer and services consistentwith the policies described herein.Further, delivery of software and hardware sales, when sold contemporaneously with services, can generally occur at varying times depending on thespecific client project arrangement. Delivery of services generally occurs over a period of time consistent with the timeline as outlined in the client contract. There are no significant cancellation or termination-type provisions for our software and hardware sales. Contracts for our professional servicesprovide for a general right, to the client or us, to cancel or terminate the contract within a given period of time (generally 10 to 30 days' notice is required). Theclient is responsible for any time and expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation or termination of the contract.Cost of revenuesCost of revenues consists primarily of cash and non-cash compensation and benefits, including bonuses and non-cash compensation related toequity awards. Cost of revenues also includes the costs associated with subcontractors. Third-party software and hardware costs, reimbursable expenses andother unreimbursed project-related expenses are also included in cost of revenues. Project-related expenses will fluctuate generally depending on outside factorsincluding the cost and frequency of travel and the location of our clients. Cost of revenues does not include depreciation of assets used in the production ofrevenues which are primarily personal computers, servers, and other information technology related equipment.Gross MarginsOur gross margins for services are affected by the utilization rates of our professionals (defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed toclients divided by the total available hours in the respective period), the salaries we pay our professionals, and the average billing rate we receive from ourclients. If a project ends earlier than scheduled, we retain professionals in advance of receiving project assignments, or if demand for our services declines, ourutilization rate will decline and adversely affect our gross margins. Gross margin percentages of third-party software and hardware sales are typically lowerthan gross margin percentages for services, and the mix of services and software and hardware for a particular period can significantly impact our totalcombined gross margin percentage for such period. In addition, gross margin for software and hardware sales can fluctuate due to pricing and othercompetitive pressures. 16 Selling, General, and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses are primarily composed of sales-related costs, general and administrative salaries, stockcompensation expense, office costs, recruiting expense, variable compensation costs, research and development, bad debt, and other miscellaneous expenses. We work to minimize selling costs by focusing on repeat business with existing clients and by accessing sales leads generated by our software vendors, mostnotably IBM, Oracle and Microsoft, whose products we use to design and implement solutions for our clients. These relationships enable us to reduce ourselling costs and sales cycle times and increase win rates through leveraging our partners' marketing efforts and endorsements.Plans for Growth and AcquisitionsOur goal is to continue to build one of the leading independent information technology consulting firms by expanding our relationships with existingand new clients and through the continuation of our disciplined acquisition strategy. Our future growth plan includes expanding our business with a primaryfocus on customers in the United States, both organically and through acquisitions. Given the economic conditions during 2008 and 2009 we suspendedacquisition activity pending improved visibility into the health of the economy.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we used $19.4 million for acquisitions, $3.0 million primarily onleasehold improvements and to develop certain software, offset by $13.6 million in proceeds received from the sale and maturity of our investments.Net Cash Provided By Financing ActivitiesFor the year ended December 31, 2013, we received proceeds of $181.2 million from our line of credit and we realized a tax benefit of $2.6 millionrelated to vesting of stock awards and stock option exercises plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options and sales of stock through the Employee StockPurchase Plan of $0.3 million. We made payments of $165.0 million on our line of credit, used $13.8 million to repurchase shares of our common stockthrough the stock repurchase program, $4.3 million to remit taxes withheld as part of a net share settlement of restricted stock vesting, and $0.4 million in feesrelated to our credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we received proceeds of $134.9 million from our line of credit and we realized a tax benefitof $1.1 million related to vesting of stock awards and stock option exercises plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options and sales of stock through theEmployee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.2 million. We made payments of $132.1 million on our line of credit, used $6.1 million to repurchase shares of ourcommon stock through the stock repurchase program, $1.9 million to remit taxes withheld as part of a net share settlement of restricted stock vesting, and$0.6 million to settle a portion of the contingent consideration for the purchase of Exervio. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received proceeds of$3.7 million from exercises of stock options and sales of stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan and we realized an excess tax benefit of $1.8million related to vesting of stock awards and stock option exercises. We used $1.2 million to settle the contingent consideration for the purchase ofspeakTECH, $11.8 million to repurchase shares of our common stock through the stock repurchase program, $0.8 million to remit taxes withheld as part ofa net share settlement of restricted stock vesting, and $0.3 million in fees related to our credit facility. Availability of Funds from Line of Credit FacilityOn July 31, 2013, we renewed and extended the term of our Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), U.S.Bank National Association, and Bank of America, N.A. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings up to a maximum principal amountof $75.0 million, subject to a commitment increase of $25.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows for the issuance of letters of credit in the aggregateamount of up to $5.0 million at any one time; outstanding letters of credit reduce the credit available for revolving credit borrowings. As of December 31,2013, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $0.2 million to secure an office space lease. Substantially all of our assets are pledgedto secure the credit facility.21 All outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable no later than the final maturity date of July 31, 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our option of SVB's prime rate (4.00% on December 31, 2013) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to0.50% or one-month LIBOR (0.168% on December 31, 2013) plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. The additional margin amount is dependent on thelevel of outstanding borrowings. As of December 31, 2013, we had $55.8 million of maximum borrowing capacity. We incur an annual commitment fee of0.30% on the unused portion of the line of credit.At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and we expect to remain in compliance during the next12 months.Stock Repurchase ProgramPrior to 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $70.0 million of our common stock. In June 2013, our Board of Directorsauthorized the repurchase of up to an additional $20.0 million of our common stock for a total repurchase program of $90.0 million at December 31, 2013.The repurchase program expires December 31, 2014. From time to time, we establish a written trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which we make a portion ofour stock repurchases. Additional repurchases will be at times and in amounts as the Company deems appropriate and will be made through open markettransactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. Since the program's inception on August 11, 2008, we have repurchased approximately $73.8 million (9.0 million shares) of our outstandingcommon stock through December 31, 2013.Contractual ObligationsFor the year ended December, 2013, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in lease obligations or other contractualobligations. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further description of our contractualobligations.As of December 31, 2013, there was $19.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement as compared to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2012.The amounts are classified as "Long-term debt" within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will become due and payable no later than the final maturity dateof July 31, 2017.We have incurred commitments to make future payments under contracts such as leases and the Credit Agreement. Maturities under these contractsare set forth in the following table as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands): Payments Due by Period Contractual ObligationsTotal Less Than1 Year 1-3Years 3-5Years MoreThan 5Years Operating lease obligations $18,850 $4,063 $7,377 $4,634 $2,776 Total debt 19,000 -- -- 19,000 -- Total $37,850 $4,063 $7,377 $23,634 $2,776 ConclusionIf our capital is insufficient to fund our activities in either the short- or long-term, we may need to raise additional funds. In the ordinary course ofbusiness, we may engage in discussions with various persons in connection with additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance ofequity securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership will be diluted. These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock.Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, wemay be unable to expand our services, respond to competition, pursue acquisition opportunities, or continue our operations.Of the total cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 of $7.0 million, approximately $4.0million was held by the Company's Chinese operations and is considered to be indefinitely reinvested in those operations. The Company has no intention ofrepatriating cash from its Chinese operations in the foreseeable future.We believe that the currently available funds, access to capital from our credit facility, and cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient tomeet our working capital requirements and other capital needs for the next 12 months.22 Critical Accounting PoliciesOur accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounting for goodwill and intangible assets, purchase accounting, accountingfor stock-based compensation, and income taxes.Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsRevenues are primarily derived from professional services provided on a time and materials basis. For time and material contracts, revenues arerecognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects,revenues are generally recognized using an input method based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Amounts invoiced and collected inexcess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects we are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging,and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenues. Revenues from software and hardware sales are generally recorded on a grossbasis considering our role as a principal in the transaction. On rare occasions, we enter into a transaction where we are not the principal. In these cases,revenue is recorded on a net basis.Unbilled revenues represent the project time and expenses that have been incurred, but not yet billed to the client, prior to the end of the fiscal period. For time and materials projects, the client is invoiced for the amount of hours worked multiplied by the billing rates as stated in the contract. For fixed feearrangements, the client is invoiced according to the agreed-upon schedule detailing the amount and timing of payments in the contract. Clients are typicallybilled monthly for services provided during that month, but can be billed on a more or less frequent basis as determined by the contract. If the time andexpenses are worked/incurred and approved at the end of a fiscal period and the invoice has not yet been sent to the client, the amount is recorded as unbilledrevenue once we verify all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.Revenues are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of the customer arrangement exists; (2) fees are fixed anddeterminable; (3) delivery and acceptance have occurred; and (4) collectability is deemed probable. Our policy for revenue recognition in instances wheremultiple deliverables are sold contemporaneously to the same customer is in accordance with Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification("ASC") Subtopic 985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition, ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements, and ASCSection 605-10-S99 (Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition). Specifically, if we enter into contracts for the sale of services and softwareor hardware, then we evaluate whether each element should be accounted for separately by considering the following criteria: (1) whether the deliverables havevalue to the client on a stand-alone basis; and (2) whether delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially inour control (only if the arrangement includes a general right of return related to the delivered item). Further, for sales of software and services, we also evaluatewhether the services are essential to the functionality of the software and we have fair value evidence for each deliverable. If we have concluded that theseparation criteria are met, then we account for each deliverable in the transaction separately, based on the relevant revenue recognition policies. Generally, alldeliverables of our multiple element arrangements meet these criteria and are accounted for separately, with the arrangement consideration allocated among thedeliverables using vendor specific objective evidence of the selling price. As a result, we generally recognize software and hardware sales upon delivery to thecustomer and services consistent with the policies described herein.Further, delivery of software and hardware sales, when sold contemporaneously with services, can generally occur at varying times depending on thespecific client project arrangement. Delivery of services generally occurs over a period of time consistent with the timeline as outlined in the client contract.There are no significant cancellation or termination-type provisions for our software and hardware sales. Contracts for professional services providefor a general right, to the client or to us, to cancel or terminate the contract within a given period of time (generally 10 to 30 days' notice is required). The clientis responsible for any time and expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation or termination of the contract.We may provide multiple services under the terms of an arrangement and we are required to assess whether one or more units of accounting arepresent. Service fees are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting, as fair value evidence for individual tasks or milestones is not available. Wefollow the guidelines discussed above in determining revenues; however, certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenues recognizedin any accounting period. If estimates are revised, material differences may result in the amount and timing of revenues recognized for a given period.Revenues are presented net of taxes assessed by governmental authorities. Sales taxes are generally collected and subsequently remitted on allsoftware and hardware sales and certain services transactions as appropriate.23 Allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon specific identification of likely and probable losses. Each accounting period, accountsreceivable is evaluated for risk associated with a client's inability to make contractual payments, historical experience and other currently availableinformation. Billed and unbilled receivables that are specifically identified as being at risk are provided for with a charge to revenue or bad debts asappropriate in the period the risk is identified. Considerable judgment is used in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including reviewing thefinancial stability of the client, evaluating the successful mitigation of service delivery disputes, and gauging current market conditions. If the evaluation ofservice delivery issues or a client's ability to pay is incorrect, future reductions to revenue or bad debt expense may be incurred.Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsGoodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, or net liabilities assumed, in a business combination. Inaccordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ("ASC Topic 350"), we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill. We evaluategoodwill as of October 1 each year and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC Topic 350permits, but does not require, an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that our fair value is less than our carryingamount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that our fair value is less than our carrying amount, the two-stepgoodwill impairment test will be conducted. The first step screens for impairment and, when impairment is indicated, a second step is employed to measurethe impairment. We elected to go directly to step one rather than making a more-likely-than-not assessment based on an evaluation of qualitative factors.Our annual goodwill impairment test was performed as of October 1, 2013. Our fair value as of the annual testing date exceeded our book value andconsequently, no impairment was indicated.Our fair value was determined by weighting the results of two valuation methods: (1) market capitalization based on the average price of our commonstock, including a control premium, for a reasonable period of time prior to the evaluation date (generally 15 days) and (2) a discounted cash flow model. Thefair value calculated using our average common stock price (including a control premium) was weighted 40% while the value calculated by the discounted cashflow model was weighted 60% in our determination of our overall fair value. While the use of our average common stock price, plus a control premium, maybe considered the best evidence of fair value in ASC Topic 350, we believe the volatility in our stock price, and in the market overall, are not alwaysconsistently aligned with our financial results or outlook. The discounted cash flow approach allows us to calculate our fair value based on operatingperformance and meaningful financial metrics.A key assumption used in the calculation of our fair value using our average common stock price was the consideration of a control premium. Wereviewed industry premium data and determined an appropriate control premium for the analysis based on the low end of any premium received intransactions over the past several years.Significant estimates used in the discounted cash flow model included projections of revenue growth, net income margins, discount rate, andterminal business value. The forecasts of revenue growth and net income margins are based upon our long-term view of the business and are used by seniormanagement and the Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance. The discount rate utilized was estimated using the weighted average cost of capitalfor our industry. The terminal business value was determined by applying a growth factor to the latest year for which a forecast exists.Other intangible assets include customer relationships, non-compete arrangements, trade name, customer backlog, and internally developed software,which are being amortized over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from less than one year to tenyears. Amortization of customer relationships, non-compete arrangements, trade name, customer backlog, and internally developed software is considered anoperating expense and is included in "Amortization" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company periodically reviews theestimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in a lack of recoverability orrevised useful life.Purchase AccountingWe allocate the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on theirrespective fair values at the date of acquisition. Such fair market value assessments require significant judgments and estimates that can change materially asadditional information becomes available. The purchase price is allocated to intangibles based on our estimate and an independent valuation. We finalize thepurchase price allocation within 12 months of the acquisition date as certain initial accounting valuation estimates are finalized.24 Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationWe estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant utilizing a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholesoption valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fullytransferable. However, certain assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, such as expected term, can be adjusted to incorporate the unique characteristicsof our stock option awards. Option valuation models require the input of somewhat subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility andexpected term. We believe it is unlikely that materially different estimates for the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted wouldbe made based on the conditions suggested by actual historical experience and other data available at the time estimates were made. Restricted stock awards arevalued at the price of our common stock on the date of the grant.Income TaxesWe calculate and provide for income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, measured using enacted taxrates, are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuationallowance reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have established liabilities or reduced assets for uncertaintax positions when we believe those tax positions are not more likely than not of being sustained if challenged. We evaluate these uncertain tax positions andadjust the related tax assets and liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances each quarter.Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsOur recently adopted accounting pronouncements are fully described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe have no off-balance sheet arrangements, except operating lease commitments as disclosed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, in theNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.We are exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We believe our exposure to market risks isimmaterial.Exchange Rate SensitivityWe are exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates because we generate a portion of our revenues and incur aportion of our expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2013, we were exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S.dollar and the Canadian dollar, between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan, and between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee. We have not hedged foreigncurrency exposures related to transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Our exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant.Interest Rate SensitivityAs of December 31, 2013, there was $19.0 million outstanding and $55.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our line of credit facility.Our interest expense will fluctuate as the interest rate for the line of credit floats based, at our option, on our lead lender's prime rate plus a margin or the one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin. Based on the $19.0 million outstanding on the line of credit as of December 31, 2013, an increase in the interest rate of 100basis points would add $190,000 of interest expense per year, which is not considered material to our financial position or results of operations.We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $7.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2012. The unrestrictedcash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-termnature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changesin interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future interest income.25 Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.PERFICIENT, INC.CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETSAS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 December 31, 2013 2012 ASSETS (In thousands, except shareinformation) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $7,018 $5,813 Accounts receivable, net 78,887 69,662 Prepaid expenses 2,569 1,649 Other current assets 6,759 3,717 Total current assets 95,233 80,841 Property and equipment, net 7,709 4,398 Goodwill 193,510 160,936 Intangible assets, net 25,487 17,350 Other non-current assets 3,810 3,669 Total assets $325,749 $267,194 LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Accounts payable $7,667 $7,959 Other current liabilities 30,298 20,605 Total current liabilities 37,965 28,564 Long-term debt 19,000 2,800 Other non-current liabilities 9,294 1,417 Total liabilities $66,259 $32,781 Commitments and contingencies (see Note 12) Stockholders' equity: Common stock ($0.001 par value per share; 50,000,000 shares authorized and 40,843,435 shares issued and31,341,276 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013; 39,024,337 shares issued and 30,825,123 sharesoutstanding as of December 31, 2012) $41 $39 Additional paid-in capital 297,997 276,201 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (378) (306)Treasury stock, at cost (9,512,545 shares as of December 31, 2013; 8,199,214 shares as of December 31, 2012) (81,051) (62,970)Retained earnings 42,881 21,449 Total stockholders' equity 259,490 234,413 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $325,749 $267,194 See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.26 PERFICIENT, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONSFOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011 Year Ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011 Revenues: (In thousands, except per share information) Services $326,589 $286,548 $233,166 Software and hardware 30,224 25,188 15,624 Reimbursable expenses 16,512 15,360 13,649 Total revenues 373,325 327,096 262,439 Cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization, shown separately below): Project personnel costs 202,897 182,719 149,243 Software and hardware costs 26,648 21,536 13,521 Reimbursable expenses 16,512 15,360 13,649 Other project-related expenses 4,169 4,078 4,892 Total cost of revenues 250,226 223,693 181,305 Gross margin 123,099 103,403 81,134 Selling, general, and administrative 77,601 64,853 51,672 Depreciation 3,262 2,251 1,754 Amortization 7,974 7,827 6,341 Acquisition costs 2,297 1,871 1,249 Adjustment to fair value of contingent consideration 287 517 1,586 Income from operations 31,678 26,084 18,532 Net interest (expense) income (293) (143) 68 Net other income 112 44 45 Income before income taxes 31,497 25,985 18,645 Provision for income taxes 10,065 9,878 7,898 Net income $21,432 $16,107 $10,747 Basic net income per share $0.71 $0.54 $0.39 Diluted net income per share $0.67 $0.52 $0.37 Shares used in computing basic net income per share 30,294 29,536 27,745 Shares used in computing diluted net income per share 31,808 31,086 29,184 See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.27 PERFICIENT, INC.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOMEFOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011(In thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011 Net Income $21,432 $16,107 $10,747 Other comprehensive income, net of reclassification adjustments: Foreign currency translation adjustment (72) (27) (35)Net unrealized gain (loss) on investments -

Description of Business and Principles of ConsolidationPerficient, Inc. (the "Company") is an information technology consulting firm. The Company helps its clients use Internet-based technologies tomake their businesses more responsive to market opportunities and threats; strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners; improveproductivity; and reduce information technology costs. The Company designs, builds, and delivers solutions using a core set of middleware softwareproducts developed by third-party vendors. The Company's solutions enable its clients to meet the changing demands of an increasingly global, Internet-driven, and competitive marketplace.The Company is incorporated in Delaware. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-ownedsubsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesUse of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management tomake estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of thefinancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, andsuch differences could be material to the financial statements.ReclassificationThe Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the current year presentation.Revenue RecognitionRevenues are primarily derived from professional services provided on a time and materials basis. For time and material contracts, revenues arerecognized and billed by multiplying the number of hours expended in the performance of the contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects,revenues are generally recognized using an input method based on the ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Amounts invoiced and collected inexcess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects the Company is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such asairfare, lodging, and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component of revenues. Revenues from software and hardware sales are generallyrecorded on a gross basis considering the Company's role as a principal in the transaction. On rare occasions, the Company enters into a transaction where itis not the principal. In these cases, revenue is recorded on a net basis.Unbilled revenues represent the project time and expenses that have been incurred, but not yet billed to the client, prior to the end of the fiscal period. For time and materials projects, the client is invoiced for the amount of hours worked multiplied by the billing rates as stated in the contract. For fixed feearrangements, the client is invoiced according to the agreed-upon schedule detailing the amount and timing of payments in the contract. Clients are typicallybilled monthly for services provided during that month, but can be billed on a more or less frequent basis as determined by the contract. If the time andexpenses are worked/incurred and approved at the end of a fiscal period and the invoice has not yet been sent to the client, the amount is recorded as unbilledrevenue once the Company verifies all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.Revenues are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of the customer arrangement exists; (2) fees are fixed anddeterminable; (3) delivery and acceptance have occurred; and (4) collectability is deemed probable. The Company's policy for revenue recognition in instanceswhere multiple deliverables are sold contemporaneously to the same customer is in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Subtopic985-605, Software – Revenue Recognition, ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements, and ASC Section 605-10-S99 (Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition). Specifically, if the Company enters into contracts for the sale of services and software orhardware, then the Company evaluates whether each element should be accounted for separately by considering the following criteria: (1) whether thedeliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis; and (2) whether delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable andsubstantially in the control of the Company (only if the arrangement includes a general right of return related to the delivered item). Further, for sales ofsoftware and services, the Company also evaluates whether the services are essential to the functionality of the software and if it has fair value evidence foreach deliverable. If the Company has concluded that the separation criteria are met, then it accounts for each deliverable in the transaction separately, based onthe relevant revenue recognition policies. Generally, all deliverables of the Company's multiple element arrangements meet these criteria and are accounted forseparately, with the arrangement consideration allocated among the deliverables using vendor specific objective evidence of the selling price. As a result, theCompany generally recognizes software and hardware sales upon delivery to the customer and services consistent with the policies described herein.Further, delivery of software and hardware sales, when sold contemporaneously with services, can generally occur at varying times depending on thespecific client project arrangement. Delivery of services generally occurs over a period of time consistent with the timeline as outlined in the client contract.31 PERFICIENT, INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)DECEMBER 31, 2013 There are no significant cancellation or termination-type provisions for the Company's software and hardware sales. Contracts for professionalservices provide for a general right, to the client or the Company, to cancel or terminate the contract within a given period of time (generally 10 to 30 days' noticeis required). The client is responsible for any time and expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation or termination of the contract.The Company may provide multiple services under the terms of an arrangement and is required to assess whether one or more units of accountingare present. Service fees are typically accounted for as one unit of accounting, as fair value evidence for individual tasks or milestones is not available. TheCompany follows the guidelines discussed above in determining revenues; however, certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenuesrecognized in any accounting period. If estimates are revised, material differences may result in the amount and timing of revenues recognized for a givenperiod.Revenues are presented net of taxes assessed by governmental authorities. Sales taxes are generally collected and subsequently remitted on allsoftware and hardware sales and certain services transactions as appropriate.Allowance for Doubtful AccountsAn allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon specific identification of likely and probable losses. Each accounting period, accounts receivableis evaluated for risk associated with a client's inability to make contractual payments, historical experience, and other currently available information.Stock-Based CompensationStock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation ("ASC Topic 718"). Underthis method, the Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition,pursuant to ASC Topic 718, the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating share-based compensation, instead ofaccounting for forfeitures as they occur.Income TaxesThe Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC Subtopic 740-10"), and ASC Section 740-10-25, Income Taxes – Recognition ("ASC Section 740-10-25"). ASC Subtopic 740-10 prescribes the use of the asset and liability method whereby deferredtax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measuredusing the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are subject to tests of recoverability. Avaluation allowance is provided for such deferred tax assets to the extent realization is not judged to be more likely than not. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to betaken in a tax return. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and disclosure ofsuch positions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the useful livesof the assets (generally one to seven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of theassets.Goodwill and Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, or net liabilities assumed, in a business combination. Inaccordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ("ASC Topic 350"), the Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill. TheCompany evaluates goodwill as of October 1 each year and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC Topic 350 permits, but does not require, an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is lessthan the carrying amount of the Company before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than thecarrying amount of the Company, the two-step goodwill impairment test will be conducted. The first step screens for impairment and, when impairment isindicated, a second step is employed to measure the impairment. The Company has elected to go directly to step one rather than making a more-likely-than-notassessment based on an evaluation of qualitative factors.32 PERFICIENT, INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)DECEMBER 31, 2013 The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1, 2013. Based on the test performed, the Company's fair valueas of the annual testing date exceeded its book value and consequently, no impairment was indicated. The Company's fair value was determined by weightingthe results of two valuation methods: (1) market capitalization based on the average price of the Company's common stock, including a control premium, for areasonable period of time prior to the evaluation date (generally 15 days) and (2) a discounted cash flow model. The fair value calculated using theCompany's average common stock price (including a control premium) was weighted 40% while the value calculated by the discounted cash flow model wasweighted 60% in the Company's determination of its overall fair value.Other intangible assets include customer relationships, non-compete arrangements, trade names, customer backlog, and internally developedsoftware, which are being amortized over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from less than one yearto ten years. Amortization of customer relationships, non-compete arrangements, trade names, customer backlog, and internally developed software isconsidered an operating expense and is included in "Amortization" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company periodicallyreviews the estimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in a lack ofrecoverability or revised useful life.Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsCash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are stated at amounts which approximate fair value due to thenear term maturities of these instruments. Investments are stated at amounts which approximate fair value based on quoted market prices or other observableinputs.Treasury StockThe Company uses the cost method to account for repurchases of its own stock.Segment InformationThe Company operates as one reportable operating segment according to ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which establishes standards for theway that business enterprises report information about operating segments. The chief operating decision maker formulates decisions about how to allocateresources and assess performance based on consolidated financial results. The Company also has one reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairmentanalysis discussed above.Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsEffective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate butconsecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include components of net income, and the second statement wouldinclude components of other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. Theadoption of ASU 2011-05 did not impact the accounting for comprehensive income, but did affect the presentation of components of comprehensive incomeby eliminating the practice of showing these items within the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity.Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make aqualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-stepgoodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need notperform the two-step impairment test. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of AccumulatedOther Comprehensive Income" that requires entities to disclose either on the face of or in the notes to the financial statements the effects of reclassifications outof accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effectof the reclassification on each affected net income item. For items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a crossreference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. This ASU does not change the items currently reported in other comprehensive income and is effective forannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of these provisions did not have an impacton the consolidated financial statements of the Company.3. Net Income Per ShareBasic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common sharesoutstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the number of equivalentshares which would be issued related to the stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants using the treasury method, unless such additionalequivalent shares are anti-dilutive.33 PERFICIENT, INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)DECEMBER 31, 2013 The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share information): Year Ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011 Net income $21,432 $16,107 $10,747 Basic: Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 30,294 29,536 27,745 Shares used in computing basic net income per share 30,294 29,536 27,745 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 152 194 279 Warrants (1) - - 5 Restricted stock subject to vesting 674 621 578 Contingently issuable shares (2) - 81 222 Shares issuable for acquisition consideration (3) 688 654 355 Shares used in computing diluted net income per share 31,808 31,086 29,184 Basic net income per share $0.71 $0.54 $0.39 Diluted net income per share $0.67 $0.52 $0.37 Anti-dilutive options and restricted stock not included in the calculation of diluted net income pershare 1 12 278 (1)All outstanding warrants expired on December 30, 2011.(2)Represents the Company's estimate of shares to be issued to Exervio pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.(3)For the year ended December 31, 2013, this represents the shares held in escrow pursuant to: (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Northridge; (ii)the Asset Purchase Agreement with Nascent; (iii) the Agreement and Plan of Merger with TriTek; (iv) the Asset Purchase Agreement with Clear Task;and (v) the Asset Purchase Agreement with CoreMatrix as part of the consideration. For the year ended December 31, 2012, this represents the sharesheld in escrow pursuant to: (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger with speakTECH; (ii) the Asset Purchase Agreement with PointBridge; (iii) the AssetPurchase Agreement with Nascent; and (iv) the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Northridge as part of the consideration. For the year ended December31, 2011 this represents the shares held in escrow pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with speakTECH and pursuant to the Asset PurchaseAgreement with Exervio and the Asset Purchase Agreement with JCB as part of the consideration. These shares were not included in the calculation ofbasic net income per share due to the uncertainty of their ultimate status.4. InvestmentsDuring the second quarter 2011, the Company sold all of its short- and long-term investments to fund acquisition activity. The realized gains andlosses for these investments were immaterial. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's investments consisted of cash equivalents with original maturities ofthree months or less.5. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant CustomersCash and accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk. Cash is placed with highly rated financial institutions.The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers. The Company generally does not require collateral or up-front payments.The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Customers can be denied access toservices in the event of non-payment. During 2013, a substantial portion of the services the Company provided were built on IBM, Oracle, and Microsoftplatforms, among others, and a significant number of the Company's clients are identified through joint selling opportunities conducted with and throughsales leads obtained from the relationships with these vendors. Due to the Company's significant fixed operating expenses, the loss of sales to any significantcustomer could result in the Company's inability to generate net income or positive cash flow from operations for some time in the future. However, theCompany has remained relatively diversified, with no one customer providing more than 10% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or2011.6. Employee Benefit PlansThe Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan available to full-time employees who meet the plan's eligibility requirements. This definedcontribution plan permits employees to make contributions up to maximum limits allowed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The Company,at its discretion, matches a portion of the employee's contribution under a predetermined formula based on the level of contribution and years of service. For 2013, the Company made matching contributions of 50% (25% in cash and 25% in Company stock) of the first 6% of eligible compensation deferred by theparticipant. The Company recognized $3.3 million, $3.3 million, and $3.2 million of expense for the matching cash and Company stock contribution in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. All matching contributions vest over a three-year period of service.The Company has a deferred compensation plan for officers, directors, and certain sales personnel. The plan is designed to allow eligibleparticipants to accumulate additional income through a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that enables them to make elective deferrals of compensationto which they will become entitled in the future. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the deferred compensation liability balance was $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.34 PERFICIENT, INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)DECEMBER 31, 20137.

We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). TheCompany's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and forits assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control overFinancial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal controlover financial reporting based on our audits.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require thatwe plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effectiveinternal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on atest basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimatesmade by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design andoperating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessaryin 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 andthe preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control overfinancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflectthe transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are beingmade only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention ortimely 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 ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate.The Company acquired TriTek Solutions, Inc. (“TriTek”) and Clear Task, Inc. (“Clear Task”) in May 2013 and CoreMatrix Systems, LLC (“CoreMatrix”)in October 2013, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December31, 2013, TriTek's, Clear Task's, and CoreMatrix's internal control over financial reporting associated with 15% and 6% of the Company's total assets andtotal revenues, respectively, included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our audit ofinternal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2013 also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting ofTriTek, Clear Task, and CoreMatrix.In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Perficient, Inc. andsubsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period endedDecember 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
