NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note One — General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Mattersight Corporation (“we,” “Mattersight,” or the “Company”) include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of our comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, and our condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, and are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X; provided, that certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Mattersight’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on May 14, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Developments

On May 14, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 in order to restate its annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009. This restatement corrected an error relating to the Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations in its previously issued financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not deduct dividends and in 2011, other payments made in respect of the Series B Stock, when calculating basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The restatement had no effect on any other amounts or financial statement line items. In connection with the error, the Company also determined that the prior financial statements should not be relied upon and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K under item 4.02—Non-reliance on previously issued financial statements on May 10, 2012.

Note Two — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company changed the revenue classification of one contract from Other revenue to Behavioral Analytics revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 to better reflect the type of services provided under this contract. Revenue for this contract has been reclassified in all historical periods. As a result, the Company reclassified $0.1 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 from Other revenue to Behavioral Analytics revenue. Cost of services for this contract has also been reclassified. As a result, the Company reclassified $0.1 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 from Cost of Other revenue to Cost of Behavioral Analytics revenue.

Certain leadership, recruiting, and facility management expenses that have been previously reported as Sales, marketing and development have been reclassified to General and administrative. As a result, the Company reclassified $0.5 million for the three months ended April 2, 2011 from Sales, marketing and development to General and administrative.

The changes in the preceding paragraphs did not have an impact on net income (loss) and are not material to the financial statements.

For a complete description of the Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, see Note Two “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note Three — Discontinued Operations

The sale by the Company of the Integrated Contact Solutions (“ICS”) Business Unit and “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name to Magellan Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, closed on May 28, 2011, and the Company changed its name

Note Four — Revenue Recognition

Continuing Operations

Behavioral Analytics Revenue

Behavioral Analytics revenue consists of Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue.

Managed services revenue consists of planning, deployment, training, and subscription fees derived from Behavioral Analytics contracts. Planning, deployment, and training fees, which are considered to be installation fees related to Behavioral Analytics subscription contracts, are deferred until the installation is complete and are then recognized over the subscription period of the applicable subscription contract. The subscription periods of these contracts generally range from three to five years after the go-live date or, in cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of Behavioral Analytics prior to committing to a longer subscription period, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to six months after the go-live date. Installation costs incurred are deferred up to an amount not to exceed the amount of deferred installation revenue and additional amounts that are recoverable based on the contractual arrangement. These costs are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets. Such costs are amortized over the subscription period of the contract. Costs in excess of the foregoing revenue amount are expensed in the period incurred.

The amount of revenue generated from subscription fees is based on a number of factors, such as the number of users to whom the Behavioral Analytics Service is provided and/or the number of hours of calls analyzed during the relevant month of the subscription period. This revenue is recognized as the service is performed for the client.

Consulting services revenue primarily consists of fees charged to the Company’s clients to provide post-deployment follow-on consulting services, which include custom data analysis, the implementation of enhancements, and training. These follow-on consulting services are generally performed for the Company’s clients on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of actual hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of Marketing Managed Services revenue and CRM Services revenue.

Marketing Managed Services revenue is derived from marketing application hosting. This revenue is generally in the form of fixed monthly fees received from the Company’s clients and is recognized as the services are performed for the client. Any related setup fee would be recognized over the contract period of the hosting arrangement.

CRM Services revenue consists of fees generated from the Company’s operational consulting services, which are provided to the Company’s clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for time-and-materials projects. For fixed-fee projects, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Reimbursed expenses revenue includes billable costs related to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing services for the Company’s clients. An equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in Cost of revenue.

Payments received for Managed services contracts in excess of the amount of revenue recognized for these contracts are recorded as unearned revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Discontinued Operations

ICS Business Unit

Managed services revenue included in the ICS Business Unit consisted of fees generated from the Company’s contact center support and monitoring services. Support and monitoring services generally were contracted for a fixed fee, and the revenue was recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Support fees that were contracted on a time-and-materials basis were recognized as the services were performed for the client.

For fixed fee Managed services contracts, where the Company provided support for third-party software and hardware, revenue was recorded at the gross amount of the sale. If the contract did not meet the requirements for gross reporting, then Managed services revenue was recorded at the net amount of the sale.

Consulting services revenue included in the ICS Business Unit consisted of the modeling, planning, configuring, or integrating of an Internet Protocol network solution within the Company’s clients’ contact center environments. These services were provided to clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. For the integration of a system, the Company recognized revenue as the services were performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract. For all other consulting services, the Company recognized revenue as the services were performed for the client.

Revenue from the sale of Product, which was generated primarily from the resale of third-party software and hardware by the Company, was generally recorded at the gross amount of the sale when it was delivered to the client.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. In October 2009, the FASB also amended the accounting standards for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to:

 

  (i) provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated;

 

  (ii) require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices (“ESP”) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); and

 

  (iii) eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.

The Company elected to adopt this accounting guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance does not impact the Company’s revenue recognition with respect to Behavioral Analytics because the implementation services sold with its managed service are not separated into multiple accounting units because there is no standalone fair value for these services. The Company recognizes these services revenues over the anticipated subscription period. This accounting guidance does not change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions or the methods used to allocate consideration to the units of accounting. The revenue recognition for each of these offerings is discussed below.

For the ICS Business Unit, the Company utilized VSOE to allocate revenue to various elements in an arrangement. The Company determined VSOE based on its normal pricing and discounting practices for the product or service when sold separately. In determining VSOE, the Company required that a substantial majority of the selling prices for a product or consulting services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range, generally evidenced by approximately 80% of such historical standalone transactions falling within plus or minus 20% of the median selling price. For the ICS Business Unit’s managed services, the Company established VSOE through the stated renewal approach. Previously, the Company was able to establish VSOE for its product and service offerings except for software. If the Company was not able to establish VSOE for an offering, it attempted to establish fair value by utilizing TPE. TPE is established by obtaining evidence from comparable offerings from a peer company. If the Company was unable to establish fair value using VSOE or TPE, then the Company used ESP in its allocation of revenue. To determine ESP, the Company applied significant judgment as it weighed a variety of factors, based on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement. These factors included internal costs, gross margin objectives, and existing portfolio pricing and discounting.

Within discontinued operations, some of the Company’s sales arrangements had multiple deliverables containing software and related software components. Such sale arrangements were subject to the accounting guidance in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition.

Under the terms of the Notes, the Company is required to apply 50% of net proceeds from the issuance of equity or equity equivalents to pay down the Notes. As a result, in connection with the sale of 1,252,609 shares of Common Stock to IGC Fund VI, LP (“IGC Fund”) under the terms of the Purchase Agreement executed by the Company and IGC Fund on December 19, 2011, the Company applied $3.0 million to pay down the Notes, representing 50% of the net proceeds from such sale.

Note Thirteen — Segment Information

The Company operated in two business segments, the Behavioral Analytics Service Business Unit and the ICS Business Unit, until May 28, 2011, the date of the close of the sale of the ICS Business Unit, at which point the Company began operating in a single business segment, focused primarily on Behavioral Analytics.

Note Fourteen Fair Value Measurements

The Company reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is an exit price and establishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The first tier, Level 1, uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 uses inputs, other than quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 uses unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, and requires the entity to develop its own assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note Sixteen — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. The items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no changes were made to the calculation and presentation of earnings per share. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which deferred the effective date of guidance pertaining to the reporting of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 reinstated the requirements for the presentation of reclassifications that were in place prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 and will retrospectively apply the new presentation of comprehensive income to prior periods presented. Other than the change in presentation and disclosure, the update did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note Seventeen — Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is a party to various agreements, including substantially all major services agreements, under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, indemnification against third-party claims of infringement of intellectual property rights with respect to software and other deliverables provided by the Company in the course of providing services to its clients. These obligations may be subject to various limitations on the remedies available to the other party, including, without limitation, limits on the amounts recoverable and the time during which claims may be made, and may be supported by indemnities given to the Company by applicable third parties. Payment by the Company under these indemnification clauses is generally subject to the other party making a claim that is subject to challenge by the Company and dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular agreement. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to pay any claim for indemnification under its agreements, and management is not aware of future indemnification payments that it would be obligated to make.

Table of Contents

Under its By-Laws, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at its request in such capacity or in certain related capacities. The Company has separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers that requires it, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify them to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by its By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company identified an error relating to its calculation of basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations in its previously issued financial statements. As described in Note Thirteen “Capital Stock and Series B Stock” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has paid periodic dividends on the Series B Stock and in 2011 repurchased certain shares of Series B Stock. Although the Company accounted for the dividends and repurchase in its consolidated financial statements, it did not deduct the dividends or in 2011, the amounts paid in excess of liquidation value in connection with the repurchase of certain shares of Series B Stock, when calculating basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations of common stock. To correct this error, the Company has restated its previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations as described in Note Twenty-Two “Restatement —Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share from Continuing Operations” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the restatement deducts from such amounts dividends paid on the Series B Stock and the amounts paid in excess of liquidation value in connection with the repurchase of certain shares of Series B Stock.

The change in presentation had no effect on any other amounts or financial statement line items. The following table summarizes the corrections to basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the three months ended April 2, 2011.

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

Background

Mattersight Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, “Mattersight,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a leader in enterprise analytics focused on customer and employee interactions and behaviors. Mattersight’s Behavioral Analytics service captures and analyzes customer and employee interactions, employee desktop data, and other contextual information to improve operational performance and predict future customer and employee outcomes. Mattersight’s analytics are based on millions of proprietary algorithms and the application of unique behavioral models. The Company’s SaaS+ delivery model combines analytics in the cloud with deep customer partnerships to drive significant business value. Mattersight’s applications are used by leading companies in the healthcare, insurance, financial services, telecommunications, cable, utilities, and government industries.

Following the sale by the Company of its ICS Business Unit on May 28, 2011, the Company changed its corporate name from eLoyalty Corporation to Mattersight Corporation, and began operating in a single business segment, focused primarily on its Behavioral Analytics service (“Behavioral Analytics”). Through Behavioral Analytics, the Company generates two types of revenue:

 

  (1) Managed services revenue, which is recurring, annuity revenue from long-term (generally three- to five-year) contracts and pilots, which are shorter term (generally three to six months) and includes subscription and amortized deployment revenue; and

Table of Contents
  (2) Consulting services revenue, which is generally project-based and sold on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis and includes follow-on consulting services revenue.

Set forth below is a more detailed description of the capabilities that the Company currently offers.

Behavioral Analytics

The Company’s multi-channel technology captures the unstructured data of voice interactions (conversations), related customer and employee data, and employee desktop activity, and applies millions of proprietary algorithms against those interactions. Each interaction contains hundreds of attributes that get scored and ultimately detect patterns of behavior or business process that provide the transparency and predictability necessary to enhance revenue, improve the customer experience, improve efficiency, and predict and navigate outcomes. Adaptive across industries, programs, and industry-specific processes, the Company’s Behavioral Analytics offerings enable its clients to drive measurable economic benefit through the improvement of contact center performance, customer satisfaction and retention, fraud reduction, and streamlined back office operations. Specifically, through its Behavioral Analytics offerings, Mattersight helps its clients:

 

   

Automatically measure customer satisfaction and agent performance on every analyzed call;

 

   

Identify and understand customer personality;

 

   

Improve rapport between agent and customer;

 

   

Reduce call handle times while improving customer satisfaction;

 

   

Identify opportunities to improve self-service applications;

 

   

Improve cross-sell and up-sell success rates;

 

   

Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of collection efforts;

 

   

Identify customer experience issues and score calls for retention risk;

 

   

Measure and improve supervisor effectiveness and coaching;

 

   

Improve agent effectiveness by analyzing key attributes of desktop usage;

 

   

Predict likelihood of a customer attrition; and

 

   

Identify fraud callers and improve authentication processes.

The Company has designed a highly-scalable, flexible, and adaptive application platform to enable the Company to implement and operate its Behavioral Analytics offerings for its clients. These offerings are primarily delivered through a SaaS+ model, as a managed subscription service from which Mattersight derives Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue. Managed services revenue consists of deployment and subscription services and Consulting services revenue consists of post-deployment follow-on services, including coaching, training, and custom data analysis.

In addition to our Behavioral Analytics offerings, Mattersight also generates revenue from the following services:

Marketing Managed Services

Marketing Managed Services revenue, which is derived from marketing application hosting services.

CRM Services

CRM Services revenue, which is derived from operational consulting services that enhance business performance through improved process efficiencies and redesign of workflows.

Types of Revenue

Managed Services Revenue

Growth in Managed services revenue is primarily driven by the execution of new Behavioral Analytics contracts, under which we deploy and provide ongoing managed services related to our proprietary Behavioral Analytics System and provided related Business Monitoring services. Based on each client’s business requirements, the Behavioral Analytics System is configured and integrated into the client’s environment and then deployed in either a remote-hosted or, in one case, an on-premise hosted environment. Thereafter, the client’s selection of our Behavioral Analytics offerings is provided, on a subscription basis, for a period that is generally three to five years after the go-live date or, in the cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of Behavioral Analytics prior to committing to a longer subscription period, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to six months after the go-live date. The fees and costs related to the initial deployment are deferred and amortized over the term of the contract.

Table of Contents

We also generate Managed services revenue from Marketing Managed Services, specifically, from hosted customer and campaign data management. This source of Managed services revenue is likely to diminish over time as we focus on growth through Behavioral Analytics.

Consulting Services Revenue

In addition to the Consulting services revenue generated by the Consulting services provided under our Behavioral Analytics contracts, we derive a portion of this type of revenue from CRM Services for long-standing accounts. Consulting services revenue from CRM Services is anticipated to diminish over time as demand for these services continues to decline and we focus on growth through Behavioral Analytics. We bill for Consulting services on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.

Business Outlook

Based upon Mattersight’s business development efforts and third-party market research, we believe there has been a fundamental shift in the way large enterprises view data. The trends suggest that large enterprises today appreciate that there is value in data that can be derived from their front and back offices, but they have not yet established efficient and effective methods to capture, analyze, and create value from this data. We seek to help large enterprises capitalize on this data with our Behavioral Analytics solutions and, as a leader in this rapidly growing market, we believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. We estimate the market potential in the United States for all of our current analytics offerings at over $10 billion per year. The market for enterprise analytics is very new and we currently estimate it to be less than 5% penetrated.

Our business strategy to increase revenue, profitability, and capture market share includes the following elements:

 

   

Increase up-sell and cross-sell ratios by deepening and broadening our relationships with existing clients;

 

   

Win business with new clients, focusing on analyzing customer interactions and back office activities in targeted industries;

 

   

Continue to invest in innovative proprietary technology, new applications, and delivery methods;

 

   

Continue bookings growth and improve operating leverage;

 

   

Expand our sales and marketing efforts with seasoned enterprise sales agents and strategic marketing professionals; and

 

   

Develop partnerships and strategic alliances to expand sales leverage, improve brand awareness, and reach new industries while providing value to our mutual clients.

Resulting from our delivery of measurable economic benefit to our clients, we have seen increasing penetration within existing accounts, due to an increase in adoption of our base Behavioral Analytics offerings across separate and distinct business units, as well as the adoption of new applications within existing business units. For this reason, we will continue to focus on further penetrating what we estimate to be a large existing base market with a less expensive cost of acquisition. In addition, our strategy to further invest in sales and marketing, coinciding with the fundamental shift in enterprise data utilization described above, has led to an increasing number of discussions with potential new clients and strategic partners.

Managed Services Backlog

As a result of the strategic and long-term nature of Managed services revenue, we believe it is appropriate to monitor the level of backlog associated with our Managed services agreements. The Behavioral Analytics Managed services backlog was $94.6 million as of March 31, 2012 and $96.3 million as of December 31, 2011. This decrease in backlog is due to the value of the Managed services revenue in the first three months of 2012 exceeding the amount of Managed services contracts signed in the first three months of 2012. We expect Behavioral Analytics Managed service backlog to increase in fiscal year 2012 based on the impact of anticipated renewals of existing agreements and anticipated contract signings with clients included in our current sales pipeline.

The Company uses the term “backlog” to reflect the estimated future amount of Managed services revenue related to its Managed services contracts. The value of these contracts is based on anticipated usage volumes over the anticipated term of the agreement. The anticipated term of the agreement is based on the contractually agreed fixed term of the contract, plus agreed upon, but optional extension periods. Actual volumes may be greater or less than anticipated. In addition, actual agreement terms may vary from the anticipated terms because these contracts typically are cancellable without cause based on the customer making a substantial early termination payment or forfeiture of prepaid contract amounts. The reported Behavioral Analytics Managed service backlog is expected to be recognized as follows: $25.8 million in 2012; $29.7 million in 2013; $19.7 million in 2014; and $19.4 million in 2015 and thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the costs and timing of completion of client projects, our ability to collect accounts receivable, the timing and amounts of expected payments associated with cost reduction activities, and the ability to realize our net deferred tax assets, contingencies, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

ICS Business Unit Transaction

The sale by the Company of the ICS Business Unit and “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name to Magellan Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, closed on May 28, 2011, and the Company changed its name from eLoyalty Corporation to Mattersight Corporation effective May 31, 2011. Therefore, the results of operations of the ICS Business Unit are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, certain corporate and general costs that had historically been allocated to the ICS Business Unit were reallocated to the Company and are reflected in all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Continuing Operations

Behavioral Analytics Revenue

Behavioral Analytics revenue consists of Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue.

Managed services revenue consists of planning, deployment, training, and subscription fees derived from Behavioral Analytics contracts. Planning, deployment, and training fees, which are considered to be installation fees related to Behavioral Analytics subscription contracts, are deferred until the installation is complete and are then recognized over the subscription period of the applicable subscription contract. The subscription periods of these contracts generally range from three to five years after the go-live date or, in cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of Behavioral Analytics prior to committing to a longer subscription period, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to six months after the go-live date. Installation costs incurred are deferred up to an amount not to exceed the amount of deferred installation revenue and additional amounts that are recoverable based on the contractual arrangement. These costs are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets. Such costs are amortized over the subscription period of the contract. Costs in excess of the foregoing revenue amount are expensed in the period incurred.

The amount of revenue generated from subscription fees is based on a number of factors, such as the number of agents accessing the Behavioral Analytics System and/or the number of hours of calls analyzed during the relevant month of the subscription period. This revenue is recognized as the service is performed for the client.

Consulting services revenue primarily consists of fees charged to the Company’s clients to provide post-deployment follow-on consulting services, which include custom data analysis, the implementation of enhancements, and training. These follow-on consulting services are generally performed for the Company’s clients on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of actual hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of Marketing Managed Services revenue and CRM Services revenue.

Marketing Managed Services revenue is derived from marketing application hosting. This revenue is generally in the form of fixed monthly fees received from the Company’s clients and is recognized as the services are performed for each client. Any related setup fee would be recognized over the contract period of the hosting arrangement.

 

17


Table of Contents

CRM Services revenue consists of fees generated from the Company’s operational consulting services, which are provided to the Company’s clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for time-and-materials projects. For fixed-fee projects, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Reimbursed expenses revenue includes billable costs related to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing services for our clients. An equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in Cost of revenue.

Payments received for Managed services contracts in excess of the amount of revenue recognized for these contracts are recorded as unearned revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

If the Company’s estimates indicate that a contract loss will occur, then a loss provision is recorded in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from clients not paying for unpaid or disputed invoices for contractual services provided. Additional allowances may be required if the financial condition of our clients deteriorates.

Discontinued Operations

ICS Business Unit

Managed services revenue included in the ICS Business Unit consisted of fees generated from the Company’s contact center support and monitoring services. Support and monitoring services generally were contracted for a fixed fee, and the revenue was recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Support fees that were contracted on a time-and-materials basis were recognized as the services were performed for the client.

For fixed fee Managed services contracts, where the Company provided support for third-party software and hardware, revenue was recorded at the gross amount of the sale. If the contract did not meet the requirements for gross reporting, then Managed services revenue was recorded at the net amount of the sale.

Consulting services revenue included in the ICS Business Unit consisted of the modeling, planning, configuring, or integrating of an Internet Protocol network solution within the Company’s clients’ contact center environments. These services were provided to clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. For the integration of a system, the Company recognized revenue as the services were performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract. For all other consulting services, the Company recognized revenue as the services were performed for the client.

Revenue from the sale of Product, which was generated primarily from the resale of third-party software and hardware by the Company, was generally recorded at the gross amount of the sale when it was delivered to the client.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. In October 2009, the FASB also amended the accounting standards for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to:

(i) provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated;

(ii) require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices (“ESP”) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); and

(iii) eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.

The Company elected to adopt this accounting guidance at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2011 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance does not impact our revenue recognition with respect to Behavioral Analytics because the implementation services sold with our managed service are not separated into multiple accounting units because there is no standalone fair value for these services. We recognize these services revenues over the anticipated subscription period. This accounting guidance does not change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions or the methods used to allocate consideration to the units of accounting. The revenue recognition for each of these offerings is discussed below.

 

18


Table of Contents

For the ICS Business Unit, the Company utilized VSOE to allocate revenue to various elements in an arrangement. We determined VSOE based on our normal pricing and discounting practices for the product or service when sold separately. In determining VSOE, we required that a substantial majority of the selling prices for a product or consulting services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range, generally evidenced by approximately 80% of such historical standalone transactions falling within plus or minus 20% of the median selling price. For the ICS Business Unit’s managed services, we established VSOE through the stated renewal approach. Previously, we were able to establish VSOE for our product and service offerings except for software. If we were not able to establish VSOE for an offering, we attempted to establish fair value by utilizing TPE. TPE is established by obtaining evidence from comparable offerings from a peer company. If the Company was unable to establish fair value using VSOE or TPE, then the Company used ESP in its allocation of revenue. To determine ESP, we applied significant judgment as we weighed a variety of factors, based on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement. These factors included internal costs, gross margin objectives, and existing portfolio pricing and discounting.

Within discontinued operations, some of our sales arrangements had multiple deliverables containing software and related software components. Such sale arrangements were subject to the accounting guidance in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires certain assumptions. The Company uses historical information as the primary basis for the selection of expected life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield assumptions, and anticipated forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rate is selected based on the yields from U.S. Treasury Strips with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

Severance and Related Costs

We recorded accruals for severance and related costs associated with our cost-reduction efforts undertaken during fiscal years 2008 through 2012. The portion of the accruals relating to employee severance represents contractual severance for identified employees and generally is not subject to a significant revision. The portion of the accruals that related to office space reductions, office closures, and associated contractual lease obligations are based in part on assumptions and estimates of the timing and amount of sublease rentals, which may be affected by overall economic and local market conditions. To the extent estimates of the success of our sublease efforts changed, adjustments increasing or decreasing the related accruals have been recognized.

Income Taxes

We have recorded income tax valuation allowances on our net deferred tax assets to account for the unpredictability surrounding the timing of realization of our U.S. and non-U.S. net deferred tax assets due to uncertain economic conditions. The valuation allowances may be reversed at a point in time when management determines realization of these tax assets has become more likely than not, based on a return to predictable levels of profitability.

The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for the year, the basis of assets and liabilities and for tax loss carryforwards. The Company does not provide U.S. deferred income taxes on earnings of U.S. or foreign subsidiaries, which are expected to be indefinitely reinvested.

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is used to determine the likelihood of the benefit. There is additional guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure requirements.

Intraperiod tax allocation requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income) for each tax jurisdiction. In periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. While intraperiod tax allocation in general does not change the overall tax provision, it may result in a gross-up of the individual components, thereby changing the amount of tax provision included in each category. In the first quarter of 2012, the intraperiod allocation was not applicable because we had a pretax loss in both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

First Quarter of 2012 Compared with First Quarter of 2011

Services Revenue

Services revenue is total revenue excluding reimbursable expenses that are billed to our clients. Our services revenue increased 37% to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Behavioral Analytics revenue was $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 and was $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. Behavioral Analytics revenue increased $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased subscription fees associated with the conversion of several deployments to the subscription phase of the agreement.

Other revenue decreased by $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2012 to $0.3 million, from $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 50%. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the completion of several contracts for Marketing Managed Services.

The Company’s top five clients accounted for 66% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2012 and 73% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2011. The top 10 clients accounted for 91% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 92% in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, there were four and three clients, respectively, that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. In the first quarter of 2012, Vangent, Inc., Allstate Insurance Company, Progressive Casualty Insurance Co., and Health Care Service Corporation accounted for 18%, 17%, 13%, and 10% of total revenue, respectively. In the first quarter of 2011, Vangent, Inc., Health Care Service Corporation, and Allstate Insurance Company accounted for 25%, 16%, and 15% of total revenue, respectively. Higher concentration of revenue with a single client or a limited group of clients creates increased revenue risk if one of these clients significantly reduces its demand for our services.

Cost of Revenue Before Reimbursed Expenses, Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of Services

Cost of services primarily consists of labor costs, including salaries, fringe benefits, and incentive compensation, royalties, and other customer related third-party outside services. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization.

Cost of Behavioral Analytics revenue in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.2 million, or 37% of Behavioral Analytics revenue, compared to $2.8 million, or 47% of Behavioral Analytics revenue, in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in cost was largely due to higher amortized implementation costs net of cost deferrals of $0.5 million. The percentage decrease in the Cost of Behavioral Analytics revenue was primarily due to improved leverage of our cost structure resulting from higher subscription revenue in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Cost of Other revenue in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.2 million, or 67% of Other revenue, compared to $0.3 million, or 50% of Other revenue, in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in cost was largely due to lower compensation expense of $0.2 million, driven by the lower demand for our CRM services.

Sales, Marketing and Development

Sales, marketing and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, and employee benefits for business development, account management, marketing, and product development personnel. The personnel costs included here are net of any labor costs directly related to the generation of revenue, which are represented in Cost of services.

Sales, marketing and development expenses increased $0.3 million, or 6%, to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. This increase is due to the continued investment in our sales and development organizations.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, and employee benefits for administrative personnel, as well as facilities costs, a provision for uncollectible amounts, and costs for our corporate technology infrastructure and applications.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 29%, to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. This decrease is due to lower compensation expense of $0.5 million, primarily due to the reduction in our administrative staff as a result of the sale of the ICS Business Unit and lower professional fees of $0.2 million.

Severance and Related Costs

In 2012 and 2011, a number of cost reduction activities were undertaken, principally consisting of personnel reductions and an office consolidation. Cash savings related to cost reduction actions for the first quarter of 2012 are anticipated to be $0.3 million annually. The cost reduction actions taken during fiscal year 2011 resulted in annual cash savings of $0.1 million. Costs related to office space reductions and office closures were paid pursuant to contractual lease terms through January 2012.

Severance and related costs were $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the $0.7 million of expense for continuing operations was related to severance and related costs for the elimination of one position. The expense recorded in the first quarter of 2011 primarily related to an adjustment of estimated severance and facility operating expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 13%, to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase of $0.1 million in depreciation and amortization is primarily related to an increased rate of investment in the first quarter of 2012.

Operating Loss

Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we experienced an operating loss of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to an operating loss of $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Table of Contents

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net

Non-operating interest and other (expense) income was $0.1 million of expense in the first quarter of 2012 and was $0.1 million of income in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the $0.1 million of expense was primarily related to interest expense on our short-term debt and on our capital lease obligation. In the first quarter of 2011, the $0.1 million of income was primarily related to favorable exchange rates on intercompany settlements.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

The income tax provision was less than $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2012 and the tax benefit was $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. As of March 31, 2012, total net deferred tax assets of $57.0 million were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The level of uncertainty in predicting when we will achieve profitability, sufficient to utilize our net U.S. and non-U.S. operating losses and realize our remaining deferred tax assets, requires that an income tax valuation allowance be recognized in the financial statements.

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations

The loss from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.1 million and the income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2011 was $0.1 million.

The loss from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 was due to settlement costs relating to a former employee of the ICS Business Unit. The income from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 was due to the impact of the results of the ICS Business Unit and the transaction costs associated with the divestiture.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders

We reported net loss available to common stockholders of $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. Accrued dividends to holders of our Series B Stock were $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, there was net loss of $0.22 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $0.36 per share on a basic and diluted basis in the first quarter of 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures for Behavioral Analytics and infrastructure requirements, and other revenue generation and growth investments. As of March 31, 2012, our principal capital resources consisted of (i) our cash and cash equivalents balance of $26.1 million, which includes $0.3 million in foreign bank accounts, (ii) restricted cash of $1.5 million, and (iii) the remaining $3.5 million under the Facility, as defined below under “Bank Facility”.

Our cash and cash equivalents position decreased $3.3 million, or 11%, as of March 31, 2012, from $29.4 million as of December 31, 2011.

The decrease in cash during the first three months of 2012 was primarily the result of the net loss before non-cash items, a decrease in unearned revenue reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue, capital expenditures, cash dividend payments on Series B Stock, acquisition of treasury stock, and capital lease principal payments, partially offset by accounts receivable collections and an increase in accrued compensation and related costs. Restricted cash remained constant at $1.5 million for the first three months of 2012 and $2.5 million for the first three months of 2011, and was primarily used as collateral for letters of credit issued in support of future capital lease obligations. See “Bank Facility” below for a description of the contractual requirements related to restricted cash.

The decrease in cash in the first three months of 2011 was primarily the result of the net loss before non-cash items, capital expenditures, cash dividend payments on Series B Stock, acquisition of treasury stock, and capital lease principal payments, partially offset by lower working capital requirements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations during the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the first three months of 2012, cash outflows of $1.8 million from operating activities consisted primarily of the net loss before non-cash items of $1.1 million, a $1.3 million decrease in unearned revenue reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue partially offset by accounts receivable collections of $0.5 million and an increase in accrued compensation and related costs of $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

During the first three months of 2011, cash outflows of $1.3 million from operating activities consisted primarily of the net loss before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, and an increase in prepaid costs of $1.5 million, which primarily consist of costs associated with unearned revenue, partially offset by unearned revenue of $2.0 million as a result of customer prepayments.

Net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations during the first three months of 2012 was less than $0.1 million.

Net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations during the first three months of 2011 was $0.4 million. During the first three months of 2011, cash outflows of $0.4 million from operating activities of discontinued operations consisted primarily of a $3.5 million decrease in unearned revenue reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue partially offset by lower prepaid costs of $1.5 million, due primarily to the amortization of costs associated with the unearned revenue, and other improved net working capital results of $1.2 million.

Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) for continuing operations was 21 days at March 31, 2012 compared to 26 days at December 31, 2011, an improvement of five days. Because a high percentage of our revenue is dependent on a relatively small number of clients, delayed payments by a few of our larger clients could result in a reduction of our available cash, which in turn may cause fluctuation in our DSO. We do not expect any significant collection issues with our clients; see “Accounts Receivable Customer Concentration” for additional information on cash collections.

As of March 31, 2012, there remains $0.6 million of costs for severance and related costs for continuing operations. See Note Six “Severance and Related Costs”.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The Company used $0.2 million of cash in continuing investing activities during each of the first three months of 2012 and 2011. Capital expenditures were primarily used to purchase computer hardware and software during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. We currently expect capital investments to be between $4.0 million and $5.0 million for fiscal year 2012 and plan on funding approximately $3.2 million to $4.2 million of these purchases with capital leases.

Net cash used in discontinued investing activities was $0 million and $0.2 million during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The cash usage in the first three months of 2011 was primarily due to capital expenditures for the purchase of computer hardware and software.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The Company used $1.3 million and $0.7 million of cash in continuing financing activities during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net cash outflows of $1.3 million during the first three months of 2012 were primarily attributable to: $0.5 million of principal payments under our capital lease obligations; $0.5 million of cash used to acquire treasury stock; and $0.3 million for cash dividend payments on Series B Stock.

Net cash outflows of $0.7 million in continuing financing activities during the first three months of 2011 were primarily attributable to $0.4 million of principal payments under our capital lease obligations and $0.3 million of cash used to acquire treasury stock. The treasury stock acquired in each year reflects shares that were obtained to meet employee tax obligations associated with stock award vestings.

Net cash used in discontinued financing activities was less than $0.1 million during the first three months of 2011. The usage in the first three months of 2011 was for principal payments under our capital lease obligations.

Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not expect to do so in the future. A cash dividend of $0.3 million was paid on the Series B Stock, for the dividend period July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. In fiscal year 2011, the dividend payment for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, payable on January 3, 2011, was suspended to conserve cash. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Stock, unpaid dividends are cumulative and accrue at the rate of 7% per annum, payable semi-annually in January and July. The amount of each dividend accrual will be decreased by any conversions of the Series B Stock into Common Stock, as such conversions require the Company to pay accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of conversion. Conversions of Series B Stock became permissible at the option of the holder after June 19, 2002. The Company expects to acquire between $0.3 million and $0.4 million of treasury stock during the second quarter of 2012 to meet employee tax obligations associated with the Company’s various stock-based compensation programs. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company will spend approximately $0.2 million related to our Series B Stock tender offer.

Liquidity

Our near-term capital resources consist of our current cash balance, together with anticipated future cash flows and financing from capital leases. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $26.1 million as of March 31, 2012. In addition, our restricted cash of $1.5 million with Bank of America (the “Bank”) at March 31, 2012 is available to support letters of credit issued under our credit facility (as described below) and collateral requirements for our capital lease agreements.

We anticipate that our current unrestricted cash resources, together with operating revenue and capital lease financing, should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. Management will continue to assess opportunities to maximize cash resources by actively managing our cost structure and closely monitoring the collection of our accounts receivable. If, however, our operating activities, capital expenditure requirements, or net cash needs differ materially from current expectations due to uncertainties surrounding the current capital market, credit and general economic conditions, competition, or the suspension or cancellation of a large project, then there is no assurance that we would have access to additional external capital resources on acceptable terms.

Bank Facility

The Company is a party to a loan agreement with the Bank, which expires on December 31, 2012. The maximum principal amount of the secured line of credit under the credit agreement (the “Facility”) is $5.0 million as of March 31, 2012. The Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance within a secured account at the Bank. The Facility provides that the balance in the secured account cannot be less than the outstanding balance drawn on the Facility and letter of credit obligations under the Facility. Available credit under the Facility has been reduced by $1.5 million due to letters of credit issued under the Facility to support our capital lease obligations. As a result, $3.5 million remains available under the Facility at March 31, 2012. Loans under the Facility bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate or, at the Company’s election, an alternate rate of LIBOR (London InterBank Offering Rate) plus 0.75%. We did not have any borrowings or interest expense under the Facility during the first three months of 2012 or 2011.

Accounts Receivable Customer Concentration

As of March 31, 2012, four clients, United HealthCare Services, Inc., CVS Caremark Corporation, Wells Fargo, and Allstate Insurance Company, accounted for 23%, 17%, 11%, and 11% of total gross accounts receivable, respectively. Of these amounts, we have collected 81% from United HealthCare Services, Inc., 50% from CVS Caremark Corporation, 31% from Wells Fargo, and 94% from Allstate Insurance Company through April 30, 2012. Of the total March 31, 2012 gross accounts receivable, we have collected 56% as of April 30, 2012. Because we have a high percentage of our revenue dependent on a relatively small number of clients, delayed payments by a few of our larger clients could result in a reduction of our available cash.

Capital Lease Obligations

Capital lease obligations as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. We are a party to a capital lease agreement with a lease company to lease hardware and software. We expect capital lease obligations to increase between $3.2 million to $4.2 million for fiscal year 2012 as we continue to expand our investment in the infrastructure for Behavioral Analytics.

Contractual Obligations

Cash will also be required for operating leases and non-cancellable purchase obligations, as well as various commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2012. These commitments are as follows:

Letters of Credit

The amounts set forth in the chart above reflect standby letters of credit issued as collateral for capital leases. The terms of the Facility require us to deposit a like amount of cash into a restricted cash account at the Bank for the duration of the letter of credit commitment period. The amounts set forth in the chart above reflect the face amount of these letters of credit that expire in each period presented. To the extent these letters of credit expire without a claim being made, the cash deposited in the restricted cash account will be transferred back to an unrestricted cash account.

Leases

The amounts set forth in the chart above reflect future principal, interest, and executory costs of the leases entered into by the Company for technology and office equipment, as well as office and data center space. Liabilities for the principal portion of the capital lease obligations are reflected on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Severance and Related Costs

Severance and related costs reflect payments the Company is required to make in future periods for severance and other related costs due to cost reduction activities in fiscal year 2012 and prior periods. Liabilities for these required payments are reflected on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Purchase Obligations

Purchase obligations include $0.9 million of commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, as well as $0.4 million of non-cancellable obligations to purchase goods or services in the future. As of December 31, 2011, purchase obligations include $1.4 million of commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet, as well as $0.4 million of non-cancellable obligations to purchase goods or services in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. The items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no changes were made to the calculation and presentation of earnings per share. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which deferred the effective date of guidance pertaining to the reporting of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 reinstated the requirements for the presentation of reclassifications that were in place prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 and will retrospectively apply the new presentation of comprehensive income to prior periods presented. Other than the change in presentation and disclosure, the update did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk as of March 31, 2012, from those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Mattersight maintains disclosure controls and procedures that have been designed to ensure that information related to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Disclosure controls and procedures ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

Based on that evaluation, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the process and procedures used in applying appropriate accounting to basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations. Specifically, the Company did not deduct for dividends and in 2011, other payments made in respect of our Series B Stock, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Solely as a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to the discovery of the material weakness, we have changed our internal control process and procedures used in applying the appropriate accounting to the basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations. Specifically, we have corrected the method by which we compute basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations to make requisite deductions for dividends and other payments made in respect of the Series B Stock. We believe these actions have strengthened our internal control over financial reporting and will address the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as has been described above, there has been no change in Mattersight’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect materially, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
