Item 5.07.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 8, 2014, at the January 7, 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of ARI Network Services, Inc. (the “Company”) the Company’s shareholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation (the “Say on Frequency Vote”).  As previously disclosed in the original Form 8-K, the shareholders voted at the Annual Meeting to hold future advisory votes on executive compensation every three years, in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Based on the results of the Say on Frequency Vote and the previous recommendation of the Board, the Company has determined that it will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in the Company’s proxy materials once every three years, until such time as another advisory vote on the frequency of such non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation is held, in accordance with Section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Except for the foregoing, this Form 8-K/A does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the original Form 8-K, and should be read in conjunction with the original Form 8-K.
