NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization — We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and cable markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest wireless, wireline and cable companies worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of Operations Support Systems (“OSS”).  We offer software products and solutions focused on activation and provisioning: our service activation solution, Tertio® (“TSA”), used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks; our SIM card activation solution, Dynamic SIM Allocation TM (“DSA”) used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to wireless devices that rely on SIM cards; our cloud-based (SaaS) service activation, self—service mobile applications and data enablement solutions to wireless carriers and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); our connected devices activation solution, Intelligent M2M Controller that supports the activation of M2M devices with intermittent or infrequent usage patterns; and our number inventory solution, Total Number Management™ (TNM), a scalable and fully automated solution that enables operators to reliably and efficiently manage their telephone numbers (i.e. SIMs, MSISDNs, IMSIs, ICCIDs, IPs) as well as other communication identifiers such as URLs and email addresses.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We made estimates with respect to revenue recognition for estimated hours to complete projects accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowance, fair values of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for property, equipment and intangible assets, business combinations, capitalization of internal software development costs and fair value of stock-based compensation amounts.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency — Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of our foreign operations is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date.  Our consolidated statements of income are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period.  The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.  Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolving Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill — Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

Intangible Assets — Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of purchased software and licenses, customer contracts and relationships, trademarks and tradenames, and business partnerships acquired in conjunction with our purchase of Telespree

8

Communications (“Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.”).  These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives.

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the asset’s carrying amount. If an amortizable intangible or long-lived asset is not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss representing the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.

Fair Value Measurements — Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue when an agreement is signed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from two primary sources: license fees and services, and customer support.  The majority of our license fees and services revenue is generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to our software products and services to customize such software to meet our customers’ use.  When the customization services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. In these types of arrangements, we do not typically have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value on the license fee/services portion (services are related to customizing the software) of the arrangement due to the large amount of customization required by our customers; however, we do have VSOE for the warranty/maintenance services based on the renewal rate of the first year of maintenance in the arrangement. The license/services portion is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and the warranty/maintenance services are separated based on the renewal rate in the contract and recognized ratably over the warranty or maintenance period. We estimate the percentage-of-completion for each contract based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours and recognize revenue based on the percent complete multiplied by the contract amount allocated to the license fee/services.  Since estimated direct labor hours, and changes thereto, can have a significant impact on revenue recognition, these estimates are critical and we review them regularly. If the arrangement includes a customer acceptance provision, the hours to complete the acceptance testing are included in the total estimated direct labor hours; therefore, the related revenue is recognized as the acceptance testing is performed. Revenue is not recognized in full until the customer has provided proof of acceptance on the arrangement.  Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when certain criteria are met, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts. We record amounts billed in advance of services being performed as unearned revenue. Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under the terms of the fixed-price contracts. All such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months.

We may encounter budget and schedule changes or increases on fixed-price contracts caused by increased labor or overhead costs. We make adjustments to cost estimates in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known. We record estimated losses, if any, in the period in which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a loss. If revisions to cost estimates are obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the interim or annual financial statements, we make adjustments to the interim or annual financial statements accordingly.

In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize license revenue when a license agreement has been signed, delivery and acceptance have occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Where applicable, we unbundle and record as revenue fees from multiple element arrangements as the elements are delivered to the extent that VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements exist. If VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist, we defer fees from such arrangements until the earlier of the date that VSOE does exist on the undelivered elements or all of the elements have been delivered.

We recognize revenue from fixed-price service contracts using the proportional performance method of accounting, which is similar to the percentage-of-completion method described above. We recognize revenue from professional services provided pursuant

9

to time-and-materials based contracts and training services as the services are performed, as that is when our obligation to our customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.

We recognize revenue from our Mobile Data Enablement (“MDE”) contracts based on the number of transactions per month multiplied by a factor based on a unique table for transaction volumes relating to each account.

We recognize customer support, including maintenance revenue, ratably over the service contract period. When maintenance is bundled with the original license fee arrangement, its fair value, based upon VSOE, is deferred and recognized during the periods when services are provided.

Stock-based Compensation — We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.  We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant.  This model requires the use of estimates for expected term of the options and expected volatility of the price of our common stock.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Income Taxes — We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606.  This Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this Update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to illustrate the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies and 2017 for non-public entities, however the FASB has deferred the effective date by one year. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern .  Management of public and private companies will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to impact the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows (in thousands):

	License and Services				Customer Support		Total
	U.S.		U.K.		U.K.		Goodwill
Balance as of December 31, 2014	$	1,097	$	7,118	$	8,795	$	17,010

Balance at June 30, 2015	$	1,097	$	7,184	$	8,876	$	17,157

(1)Represents the impact of foreign currency translation for instances when goodwill is recorded in foreign entities whose functional currency is also their local currency. Goodwill balances are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end. Adjustments related to foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.

We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2014, and we determined that goodwill was not impaired as of the test date. From July 31, 2014 through the date of this report, no events have occurred that we believe may have impaired goodwill.

We amortized identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives ranging from one to seven years and include the cumulative effects of foreign currency exchange rates.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, identifiable intangibles were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including common stock issuable under participating securities. We compute diluted EPS using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including participating securities, plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.

Our policy is to treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, as participating securities, included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.  The following is the reconciliation of the denominator of the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

Diluted income per share:	$	0.07	$	0.14	$	0.14	$	0.20

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0.3 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

NOTE 4 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors, and record compensation cost for all stock awards granted after January 1, 2006 and awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date, using the modified prospective method. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, with respect to our stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 .  The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

Stock Incentive Plans

In January 1996, our stockholders approved an Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”).  Under the Option Plan, as amended, 4,175,000 shares were reserved for issuance.  Options issued under the Option Plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors, including the vesting provisions of each stock option granted. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The Option Plan terminated on January 18, 2006; options granted before that date were not affected by the plan termination.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 0.1 million options remained outstanding under the Option Plan.

12

In June 2007, our stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”) with a maximum of 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance. In June 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,250,000. In June 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,502,209.  In June 2015, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 2,002,209.  Awards permitted under the 2007 Stock Plan include:  Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  Awards issued under the 2007 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years for employees and one year for directors and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant.  At June 30, 2015, there were approximately 0.5 million shares available for grant under the 2007 Stock Plan, as amended.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 0.7 and 0.6 million were issued and outstanding under the 2007 Stock Plan as amended, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no grants of restricted stock to members of our senior management.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0 and 2,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively and 94 and 4,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. There were 1,031 shares of restricted stock forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2015. No shares were forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Approximately 1,031 and 938 shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The fair market value of restricted shares for share-based compensation expensing is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation expense includes $0 and $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,000 and $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of expense related to restricted stock grants. The restrictions on the stock awards are released quarterly, generally over two and four years for senior management and over one year for board members.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each option grant.  The expected term of share options granted is derived using the simplified method, which we adopted in January 2008. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted-average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Expected term (years)	5.7		6.3		6.0		6.0
Risk-free interest rate	1.63	%	1.71	%	1.36	%	1.69	%
Expected volatility	37.96	%	54.75	%	48.90	%	55.88	%
Expected dividend yield	4.96	%	5.03	%	4.95	%	3.99	%

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the plans for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

There were 24,000 and 14,000 stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.94 and $2.65, respectively.  As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options.  These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.75 years.  The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0.1 million, respectively.  The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $5,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $9,000 and $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $21,000 and $17,000, respectively.  Cash received from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $27,000 and $0.1 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), we are authorized to issue up to 550,000 shares.  Employees may elect to have up to 15% of their gross compensation withheld through payroll deductions to purchase our common stock, capped at $25,000 annually and no more than 10,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month participation period. As of June 30, 2015, there were approximately 57,000 shares available for purchase.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded compensation expense of $3,000 and $4,000, respectively, and $8,000 and $11,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, associated with grants under the ESPP which includes the fair value of the look-back feature of each grant as well as the 15% discount on the purchase price.  This expense fluctuates each period primarily based on the level of employee participation.

The fair value of each purchase made under our ESPP is estimated on the date of purchase using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each purchase.  The expected term of each purchase is based upon the three-month participation period of each offering.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of each offering.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock.  The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Expected term (years)	0.25		0.25		0.25		0.25
Risk-free interest rate	0.02	%	0.03	%	0.03	%	0.04	%
Expected volatility	38.34	%	43.37	%	36.48	%	43.29	%
Expected dividend yield	4.91	%	4.67	%	4.96	%	4.53	%

Cash received from employee stock plan purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $11,000 and $16,000, respectively.  Cash received from employee stock plan purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $33,000 and $43,000, respectively.

We issued shares related to the ESPP of approximately 1,000 and 2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  We issued shares related to the ESPP of approximately 4,000 and 6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 5 — CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, two significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 22% (12% and 10%) of revenue from operations.  The significant customers for the three months ended June 30, 2015 are large telecommunications operators in Switzerland and Mexico.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014, three significant customers accounted for 40% (19%, 11% and 10%) of revenue from operations.  The significant customers for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were large telecommunications operators in Nigeria, United Kingdom and Mexico.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015, one significant customer accounted for 10% of revenue from operations. This customer is a large telecommunications operator in Switzerland.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three significant customers accounted for 37% (14%, 13% and 10%) of revenue from operations. These customers are large telecommunications operators in the United Kingdom, Nigeria and Mexico.

As of June 30, 2015, one significant customer accounted for approximately 23% of contract receivables and unbilled work-in-progress.  This customer is a large telecommunication operator in Nigeria.  As of December 31, 2014, three significant customers accounted for approximately 55% (26%, 16% and 13%) of contract receivables and unbilled work-in-progress.  These customers are large telecommunications operators in Nigeria, Mexico and Europe.

NOTE 6 — LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 31, 2014, we renewed our $5.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Facility”).  The $5.0 million Revolving Facility bears interest at the greater of 2.75% or the U.S.A. Prime Rate minus one half of one percent (0.5%).  Prime Rate was 3.25% as of June 30, 2015.  The Revolving Facility is secured by all assets of Evolving Systems, including a pledge, subject to certain limitations with respect to stock of foreign subsidiaries, of the stock of the existing and future direct subsidiaries of Evolving Systems.  There is no mandated borrowing required against the Revolving Facility.  To take an advance under the Revolving Facility, we must have a balance of $3.0 million in cash on deposit and have quarterly net income and a specified ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as defined in the Revolving Facility.  The Revolving Facility requires us to pay an annual credit facility fee of $10,000.  All accrued interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility is paid monthly, with any outstanding balance due with a final maturity of October 22, 2016.  As of June 30, 2015, we are in compliance with the covenants and have $5.0 million available under this Revolving Facility.  We are evaluating the Company’s need and potential uses for the facility, in the course of managing the company’s ongoing liquidity requirements.

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

We recorded net income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.3 million and a deferred tax benefit of ($26,000). The current tax expense consists of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.K.  The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to the increase of certain deferred tax assets in the U.K. and India.  The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.8 million and a deferred tax benefit of $10,000. The current tax expense consisted primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations. The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to distributed foreign earnings, a decrease in deferred tax assets related to accrued liabilities and capitalized expenses for tax purpose related to the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.

We recorded net income tax expense of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.8 and a deferred tax benefit of ($24,000).  The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.K.  The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to the increase of certain deferred tax assets in the U.K. and India.  The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of current income tax expense of $1.1 and a deferred tax expense of $47,000.  The current tax expense consisted primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.S.  The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings, a decrease in deferred tax assets related to accrued liabilities and capitalized expenses for tax purpose related to the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.

Our effective tax rate was 29% and 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in 2015.

Our effective tax rate was 31% and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in the second quarter of 2015.

15

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on portions of our domestic net deferred tax asset.  Such assets primarily consist of certain state Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, research and development tax credits and Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credits.  The $0.7 million of net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015, were comprised of the following:

	June 30, 2015
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	503
Research & Development Credits	303
AMT credits	944
Stock Compensation	687
Depreciable assets	127
Intangibles	192
Accrued liabilities and reserves	475
Total deferred tax assets	3,231
Deferred tax liabilities
Undistributed Foreign Earnings	$	(785	)
Total deferred tax liability	(785		)
Net deferred tax assets, before valuation allowance	$	2,446
Valuation allowance	(1,750		)
Net deferred tax asset	$	696

We have unrecognized tax benefit NOL’s which are comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.  Due to a recently adopted accounting pronouncement, ASU No. 2014-09, topic 740 “Income Tax”, these NOL’s were deducted from our NOL carryforwards and are not included in the above summarized net deferred tax asset.  When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, Evolving Systems, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Throughout the world, in the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities up until, two years in the U.K. and four years in India, following the end of the accounting period.  As of the date of this report, none of our income tax returns are under examination.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Dividend

On May 5, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable May 29, 2015, to stockholders of record May 22, 2015.  Previously, our Board of Directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share on March 17, 2015, payable March 31, 2015, to stockholders of record March 24, 2015.

Any determination to declare a future quarterly dividend, as well as the amount of any cash dividend which may be declared, will be based on our financial position, earnings, financial covenants to which we are subject, earnings outlook and other relevant factors at that time.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions/Agreements with Stockholders

Our restated certificate of incorporation allows the board of directors to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of preferred stock, while providing desired flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

16

In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibit us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by discouraging or preventing takeover attempts that might result in the payment of a premium price to our stockholders.

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance as our chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”). These chief operating decision makers review revenues by segment and review overall results of operations.

We currently operate our business as two operating segments based on revenue type:  license fees and services revenue, and customer support revenue (as shown on the consolidated statements of operations).  License fees and services (“L&S”) revenue represents the fees received from the license of software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed products, such as fees for custom development and integration services.  Customer support (“CS”) revenue includes annual support fees, recurring maintenance fees, fees for maintenance upgrades and warranty services.  Warranty services that are similar to software maintenance services are typically bundled with a license sale. Total assets by segment have not been disclosed as the information is not available to the chief operating decision-makers.

Segment information is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a)          Other Commitments

As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements with officers and directors under which we agree to indemnify them for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in this capacity. The term of the indemnification period is indefinite. There is no limit on the amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements; however, we maintain Director and Officer insurance policies, as well as an Employment Practices Liability Insurance Policy, that may enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

We enter into standard indemnification terms with customers and suppliers, in the ordinary course of business, for third party claims arising under our contracts. In addition, as we may subcontract the development of deliverables under customer contracts, we could be required to indemnify customers for work performed by subcontractors. Depending upon the nature of the indemnification, the potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements may be unlimited. We may be able to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier if the indemnification results from the subcontractor’s or supplier’s failure to perform. To the extent we are unable to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier, we could be

18

required to reimburse the indemnified party for the full amount. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to an indemnification. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Our standard license agreements contain product warranties that the software will be free of material defects and will operate in accordance with the stated requirements for a limited period of time.  The product warranty provisions require us to cure any defects through any reasonable means.  We believe the estimated fair value of the product warranty provisions in the license agreements in place with our customers is minimal.  Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these product warranty provisions as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Our software arrangements generally include a product indemnification provision whereby we will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer for claims that our products infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent of a third party. We have not historically incurred any significant costs related to product indemnification claims. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

(b)         Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business.  We do not expect the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

NOTE 11 — RESTRUCTURING

During the first quarter of 2014, we undertook a reduction in workforce involving the termination of employees resulting in an expense of $0.2 million primarily related to severance for the affected employees. The reduction in workforce was related to the consolidations of duplicative functions and alignment of staff with ongoing business activity as a result of the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2013.  Subsequently, an additional expense of $26,000 was incurred in the second quarter relating to the first quarter 2014 reduction in force.  There was no restructuring expense for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015.

There was no restructuring liability as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 4, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable August 28, 2015, to stockholders of record August 21, 2015.

OVERVIEW

We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and cable markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest network operators worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of OSS.  We offer software products and solutions focused on activation and provisioning: our service activation solution, TSA is used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks; our SIM card activation solution, DSA, is used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to wireless devices that rely on SIM cards, and our connected devices activation solutions, DataSpreeSM and IMC, supports the activation of M2M devices.  TNM focuses on the automation of all number resource management processes, allowing operators to adhere to regulatory requirements and effectively manage the lifecycle of telephone numbers, as well as benefit from time savings and reduced costs.

We recognize revenue in accordance with the prescribed accounting standards for software revenue recognition under generally accepted accounting principles.  Our license fees and services revenues fluctuate from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition on existing projects.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Consolidated revenue decreased to $6.1 million and $12.7 million from $7.9 million and $14.5 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in revenue is due to decreased DSA license and services and customer support revenue offset by increased TSA license and services.

Our twelve month backlog decreased to $10.3 million as of June 30, 2015, compared to $12.5 million as of June 30, 2014 due primarily to a lower DSA and TSA balances.

We have operations in foreign countries where the local currency is used to prepare the financial statements which are translated into our reporting currency, U.S. Dollars. Changes in the exchange rates between these currencies and our reporting currency are partially responsible for some of the changes from period to period in our financial statement amounts. The chart below summarizes how our revenue and expenses would change had they been reported on a constant currency basis. The constant currency basis assumes that the exchange rate was constant for the periods presented (in thousands).

Revenue

Revenue is comprised of license fees/services and customer support.  License fees and services revenue represent the fees we receive from the licensing of our software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed product as well as integration and consulting services.  Customer support revenue includes annual support, recurring maintenance and warranty services.  Warranty services consist of maintenance services and are typically bundled with a license sale and the related revenue, based on Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”), is deferred and recognized ratably over the warranty period.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $6.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively.  Decreased revenue for the three months is primarily due to lower license and services and customer support revenue from our DSA products offset by an increase of license and services from our TSA products.  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $12.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively.  Decreased revenue for the period is primarily due to lower DSA license and services revenue and TSA customer support revenue.

License Fees and Services

License fees and services revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 30%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease is due to lower revenue from DSA products offset by an increase in TSA products.

License fees and services revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 17%, to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in revenue is due to the DSA product.

Customer Support

Customer support revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 11%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is due to lower revenue from DSA and TSA.

Customer support revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 4%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease is due to lower revenue from TSA slightly offset by an increase from DSA.

24

Our effective tax rate was 29% and 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in 2015.

Our effective tax rate was 31% and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in the second quarter of 2015.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on portions of our domestic net deferred tax asset.  Such assets primarily consist of certain state NOL carryforwards, research and development tax credits and AMT credits.

We have unrecognized tax benefit NOL’s which are comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.  Due to a recently adopted accounting pronouncement, ASU No. 2014-09, topic 740 “Income Tax”, these NOL’s were deducted from our NOL carryforwards and are not included in our summarized net deferred tax asset.  When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.  See Note 7 to the financial statements for a summary of our net deferred tax asset.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our working capital position decreased $1.0 million, or 6%, to $14.8 million as of June 30, 2015 from $15.8 million as of December 31, 2014.  The majority of the change in working capital is related to a reduction of contract receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and unearned revenue of which was offset by an increase to prepaid and other current assets.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically financed operations through cash flows from operations and equity transactions.  At June 30, 2015, our principal source of liquidity was $10.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $6.5 million in contract receivables, net of allowances, and $5.0 million of unused availability under our revolving credit facility.  Our anticipated uses of cash in the future will be to fund the expansion of our business through both organic growth as well as possible acquisition activities and the expansion of our customer base internationally.  Uses of cash may include quarterly dividends, capital expenditures and technology expansion.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.1 million and $2,000, respectively.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to collections of contract receivables offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  Cash used in investing activities is primarily due to purchase of property and equipment in the respective periods.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.  The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to two $0.11 per share common stock cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to two $0.10 per share common stock cash dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and lower proceeds from the issuance of stock and less excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in the current period.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and financing requirements for at least the next twelve months. In making this assessment we considered the following:

·Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2015 of $10.3 million;

·Our working capital balance of $14.8 million;

·Our demonstrated ability to generate positive cash flows from operations;

·The declaration of our quarterly cash dividends of $0.11 per share for the first and second quarters of 2015, and the possibility of future dividends;

25

·Our backlog as of June 30, 2015 of approximately $10.3 million, including $4.7 million in license fees and services and $5.6 million in customer support;

·The availability under our revolving credit facility of $5.0 million as of June 30, 2015.

We are exposed to foreign currency rate risks which impact the carrying amount of our foreign subsidiaries and our consolidated equity, as well as our consolidated cash position due to translation adjustments.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effect of exchange rate changes resulted in a $0.1 million decrease and $0.6 million increase to consolidated cash.  We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure, but we monitor rate changes and may hedge our exposures if we see significant negative trends in exchange rates.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Uncertainties that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable such as political, economic, tax, other regulatory, or credit risks are not included in the following assessment of market risks.

Interest Rate Risks

Our cash balances are subject to interest rate fluctuations and as a result, interest income amounts may fluctuate from current levels.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to favorable and unfavorable fluctuations of the U.S. dollar (our functional currency) against the currencies of our operating subsidiaries. Any increase (decrease) in the value of the U.S. dollar against any foreign currency that is the functional currency of one of our operating subsidiaries will cause the parent company to experience unrealized foreign currency translation losses (gains) with respect to amounts already invested in such foreign currencies.  In addition, we and our operating subsidiaries are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our respective functional currencies, such as accounts receivable (including intercompany amounts) that are denominated in a currency other than their own functional currency. Changes in exchange rates with respect to these items will result in unrealized (based upon period-end exchange rates) or realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. In addition, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our operating subsidiaries’ monetary assets and liabilities and the financial results of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity. As a result of foreign currency risk, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings and equity with respect to our holdings solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The relationship between the British pound sterling, Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar, which is our functional currency, is shown below, per one U.S. dollar:

	June 30,	December 31,
Spot rates:	2015	2014
British pound sterling	0.63567	0.64169
Indian rupee	63.66531	63.13131

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,		For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Average rates:	2015	2014	2015	2014
British pound sterling	0.65312	0.59383	0.65665	0.59898
Indian rupee	63.40111	60.29089	62.83697	61.00393

26

At the present time, we do not hedge our foreign currency exposure or use derivative financial instruments that are designed to reduce our long-term exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.  To the extent that translation and transaction gain and losses become significant, we will consider various options to reduce this risk.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance and Administration have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business.  Losses, including estimated costs to defend, are recorded for these matters to the extent they were probable of loss and the amount of loss could be reasonably estimated.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2015, except with respect to the following:

Dividends - Our Board of Directors has declared a first and second quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share. The decision to pay dividends in the future will depend on general business conditions, the impact of such payment on our financial condition and other factors our Board of Directors may consider to be relevant. If we elect to pay future dividends, this could reduce our cash reserves to levels that may be inadequate to fund expansions to our business plan or unanticipated contingent liabilities.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

(1) Represents the impact of foreign currency translation for instances when goodwill is recorded in foreign entities whose functional currency is also their local currency. Goodwill balances are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end. Adjustments related to foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.

We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2014, and we determined that goodwill was not impaired as of the test date. From July 31, 2014 through the date of this report, no events have occurred that we believe may have impaired goodwill.

We amortized identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives ranging from one to seven years and include the cumulative effects of foreign currency exchange rates.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, identifiable intangibles were as follows (in thousands):

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization —We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and cable markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest wireless, wireline and cable companies worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of Operations Support Systems (“OSS”).  We offer software products and solutions focused on activation and provisioning: our service activation solution, Tertio® (“TSA”), used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks; our SIM card activation solution, Dynamic SIM Allocation TM (“DSA”) used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to wireless devices that rely on SIM cards; our cloud-based (SaaS) service activation, self—service mobile applications and data enablement solutions to wireless carriers and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); our connected devices activation solution, Intelligent M2M Controller that supports the activation of M2M devices with intermittent or infrequent usage patterns; and our number inventory solution, Total Number Management™ (TNM), a scalable and fully automated solution that enables operators to reliably and efficiently manage their telephone numbers (i.e. SIMs, MSISDNs, IMSIs, ICCIDs, IPs) as well as other communication identifiers such as URLs and email addresses.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We made estimates with respect to revenue recognition for estimated hours to complete projects accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowance, fair values of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for property, equipment and intangible assets, business combinations, capitalization of internal software development costs and fair value of stock-based compensation amounts.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency —Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of our foreign operations is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date.  Our consolidated statements of income are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period.  The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.  Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.

Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolving Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill —Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

Intangible Assets —Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of purchased software and licenses, customer contracts and relationships, trademarks and tradenames, and business partnerships acquired in conjunction with our purchase of Telespree Communications (“Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.”).  These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives.

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the asset’s carrying amount. If an amortizable intangible or long-lived asset is not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss representing the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.

Fair Value Measurements—Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash and Cash Equivalents —All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. 

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue when an agreement is signed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from two primary sources: license fees and services, and customer support.   The majority of our license fees and services revenue is generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to our software products and services to customize such software to meet our customers’ use.  When the customization services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. In these types of arrangements, we do not typically have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value on the license fee/services portion (services are related to customizing the software) of the arrangement due to the large amount of customization required by our customers; however, we do have VSOE for the warranty/maintenance services based on the renewal rate of the first year of maintenance in the arrangement. The license/services portion is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and the warranty/maintenance services are separated based on the renewal rate in the contract and recognized ratably over the warranty or maintenance period. We estimate the percentage-of-completion for each contract based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours and recognize revenue based on the percent complete multiplied by the contract amount allocated to the license fee/services.  Since estimated direct labor hours, and changes thereto, can have a significant impact on revenue recognition, these estimates are critical and we review them regularly. If the arrangement includes a customer acceptance provision, the hours to complete the acceptance testing are included in the total estimated direct labor hours; therefore, the related revenue is recognized as the acceptance testing is performed. Revenue is not recognized in full until the customer has provided proof of acceptance on the arrangement.  Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when certain criteria are met, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts. We record amounts billed in advance of services being performed as unearned revenue. Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under the terms of the fixed-price contracts. All such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months.

We may encounter budget and schedule changes or increases on fixed-price contracts caused by increased labor or overhead costs. We make adjustments to cost estimates in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known. We record estimated losses, if any, in the period in which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a loss. If revisions to cost estimates are obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the interim or annual financial statements, we make adjustments to the interim or annual financial statements accordingly.

In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize license revenue when a license agreement has been signed, delivery and acceptance have occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Where applicable, we unbundle and record as revenue fees from multiple element arrangements as the elements are delivered to the extent that VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements exist. If VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist, we defer fees from such arrangements until the earlier of the date that VSOE does exist on the undelivered elements or all of the elements have been delivered.

We recognize revenue from fixed-price service contracts using the proportional performance method of accounting, which is similar to the percentage-of-completion method described above. We recognize revenue from professional services provided pursuant to time-and-materials based contracts and training services as the services are performed, as that is when our obligation to our customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.

We recognize revenue from our Mobile Data Enablement (“MDE”) contracts based on the number of transactions per month multiplied by a factor based on a unique table for transaction volumes relating to each account.

We recognize customer support, including maintenance revenue, ratably over the service contract period. When maintenance is bundled with the original license fee arrangement, its fair value, based upon VSOE, is deferred and recognized during the periods when services are provided.

Stock-based Compensation — We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.    We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant.  This model requires the use of estimates for expected term of the options and expected volatility of the price of our common stock.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Income Taxes — We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606.  This Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this Update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to illustrate the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies and 2017 for non-public entities, however the FASB has deferred the effective date by one year. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern .  Management of public and private companies will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to impact the consolidated financial statements.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments And Contingencies

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a)          Other Commitments

As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements with officers and directors under which we agree to indemnify them for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in this capacity. The term of the indemnification period is indefinite. There is no limit on the amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements; however, we maintain Director and Officer insurance policies, as well as an Employment Practices Liability Insurance Policy, that may enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

We enter into standard indemnification terms with customers and suppliers, in the ordinary course of business, for third party claims arising under our contracts. In addition, as we may subcontract the development of deliverables under customer contracts, we could be required to indemnify customers for work performed by subcontractors. Depending upon the nature of the indemnification, the potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements may be unlimited. We may be able to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier if the indemnification results from the subcontractor’s or supplier’s failure to perform. To the extent we are unable to recover damages from a subcontractor or other supplier, we could be required to reimburse the indemnified party for the full amount. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to an indemnification. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Our standard license agreements contain product warranties that the software will be free of material defects and will operate in accordance with the stated requirements for a limited period of time.  The product warranty provisions require us to cure any defects through any reasonable means.  We believe the estimated fair value of the product warranty provisions in the license agreements in place with our customers is minimal.  Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these product warranty provisions as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Our software arrangements generally include a product indemnification provision whereby we will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer for claims that our products infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent of a third party. We have not historically incurred any significant costs related to product indemnification claims. Accordingly, there were no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

(b)         Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business.  We do not expect the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Restructuring

NOTE 11 – RESTRUCTURING

During the first quarter of 2014, we undertook a reduction in workforce involving the termination of employees resulting in an expense of $0.2 million primarily related to severance for the affected employees. The reduction in workforce was related to the consolidations of duplicative functions and alignment of staff with ongoing business activity as a result of the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2013.  Subsequently, an additional expense of $26,000 was incurred in the second quarter relating to the first quarter 2014 reduction in force.  There was no restructuring expense for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015.

There was no restructuring liability as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

NOTE 4 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors, and record compensation cost for all stock awards granted after January 1, 2006 and awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date, using the modified prospective method. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, with respect to our stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 .  The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations (in thousands):

Stock Incentive Plans

In January 1996, our stockholders approved an Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”).  Under the Option Plan, as amended, 4,175,000 shares were reserved for issuance.  Options issued under the Option Plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors, including the vesting provisions of each stock option granted. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The Option Plan terminated on January 18, 2006; options granted before that date were not affected by the plan termination.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 0.1 million options remained outstanding under the Option Plan.

In June 2007, our stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”) with a maximum of 1,000,000 shares reserved for issuance. In June 2010, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,250,000. In June 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 1,502,209.  In June 2015, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan which increased the maximum shares that may be awarded under the plan to 2,002,209.  Awards permitted under the 2007 Stock Plan include:  Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  Awards issued under the 2007 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years for employees and one year for directors and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant.  At June 30, 2015, there were approximately 0.5 million shares available for grant under the 2007 Stock Plan, as amended.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 0.7 and 0.6 million were issued and outstanding under the 2007 Stock Plan as amended, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no grants of restricted stock to members of our senior management.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,  0 and 2,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively and 94 and 4,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. There were 1,031 shares of restricted stock forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2015. No shares were forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  Approximately 1,031 and 938 shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The fair market value of restricted shares for share-based compensation expensing is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation expense includes $0 and $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,000 and $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of expense related to restricted stock grants. The restrictions on the stock awards are released quarterly, generally over two and four years for senior management and over one year for board members.

 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each option grant.  The expected term of share options granted is derived using the simplified method, which we adopted in January 2008. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted-average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

There were 24,000 and 14,000 stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.94 and $2.65, respectively.  As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options.  These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.75 years.  The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0.1million, respectively.  The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $5,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $9,000 and $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), we are authorized to issue up to 550,000 shares.  Employees may elect to have up to 15% of their gross compensation withheld through payroll deductions to purchase our common stock, capped at $25,000 annually and no more than 10,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month participation period. As of June 30, 2015, there were approximately 57,000 shares available for purchase.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded compensation expense of $3,000 and $4,000, respectively, and $8,000 and $11,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, associated with grants under the ESPP which includes the fair value of the look-back feature of each grant as well as the 15% discount on the purchase price.  This expense fluctuates each period primarily based on the level of employee participation.

The fair value of each purchase made under our ESPP is estimated on the date of purchase using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each purchase.  The expected term of each purchase is based upon the three-month participation period of each offering.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of each offering.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock.  The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Expected term (years)	0.25		0.25		0.25		0.25

Expected volatility	38.34	%	43.37	%	36.48	%	43.29	%
Expected dividend yield	4.91	%	4.67	%	4.96	%	4.53	%

Cash received from employee stock plan purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $11,000 and $16,000, respectively.  Cash received from employee stock plan purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $33,000 and $43,000, respectively.

We issued shares related to the ESPP of approximately 1,000 and 2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  We issued shares related to the ESPP of approximately 4,000 and 6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Common Stock Dividend

On May 5, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable May 29, 2015, to stockholders of record May 22, 2015.    Previously, our Board of Directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.11 per share on March 17, 2015, payable March 31, 2015, to stockholders of record March 24, 2015.

Any determination to declare a future quarterly dividend, as well as the amount of any cash dividend which may be declared, will be based on our financial position, earnings, financial covenants to which we are subject, earnings outlook and other relevant factors at that time.

CertainAnti-Takeover Provisions/Agreements with Stockholders

Our restated certificate of incorporation allows the board of directors to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of preferred stock, while providing desired flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibit us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock by discouraging or preventing takeover attempts that might result in the payment of a premium price to our stockholders.

NOTE 6 — LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 31, 2014, we renewed our $5.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Facility”).  The $5.0 million Revolving Facility bears interest at the greater of 2.75% or the U.S.A. Prime Rate minus one half of one percent (0.5%).  Prime Rate was 3.25% as of June 30, 2015.  The Revolving Facility is secured by all assets of Evolving Systems, including a pledge, subject to certain limitations with respect to stock of foreign subsidiaries, of the stock of the existing and future direct subsidiaries of Evolving Systems.  There is no mandated borrowing required against the Revolving Facility.  To take an advance under the Revolving Facility, we must have a balance of $3.0 million in cash on deposit and have quarterly net income and a specified ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as defined in the Revolving Facility.  The Revolving Facility requires us to pay an annual credit facility fee of $10,000.  All accrued interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility is paid monthly, with any outstanding balance due with a final maturity of October 22, 2016.  As of June 30, 2015, we are in compliance with the covenants and have $5.0 million available under this Revolving Facility.  We are evaluating the Company’s need and potential uses for the facility, in the course of managing the company’s ongoing liquidity requirements.

Income Taxes

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

We recorded net income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.3 million and a deferred tax benefit of ($26,000). The current tax expense consists of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.K.  The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to the increase of certain deferred tax assets in the U.K. and India.  The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.8 million and a deferred tax benefit of $10,000. The current tax expense consisted primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations. The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to distributed foreign earnings, a decrease in deferred tax assets related to accrued liabilities and capitalized expenses for tax purpose related to the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.

We recorded net income tax expense of $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of current income tax expense of $0.8 and a deferred tax benefit of ($24,000).  The current tax expense consists primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.K.  The deferred tax benefit was primarily related to the increase of certain deferred tax assets in the U.K. and India.  The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of current income tax expense of $1.1 and a deferred tax expense of $47,000.  The current tax expense consisted primarily of income tax from our U.S., U.K. and India based operations, and unrecoverable foreign withholding taxes in the U.S.  The deferred tax expense was primarily related to undistributed foreign earnings, a decrease in deferred tax assets related to accrued liabilities and capitalized expenses for tax purpose related to the acquisition of Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.

Our effective tax rate was 29% and 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in 2015.

Our effective tax rate was 31% and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The decrease in our effective tax rate relates to a higher proportion of our income being generated in the U.K., for which the statutory corporate tax rate was decreased in the second quarter of 2015.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we continued to maintain a valuation allowance on portions of our domestic net deferred tax asset.  Such assets primarily consist of certain state Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, research and development tax credits and Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credits.  The $0.7 million of net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015, were comprised of the following:

		June 30, 2015
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	503
Research & Development Credits		303
AMT credits		944
Stock Compensation		687
Depreciable assets		127
Intangibles		192
Accrued liabilities and reserves		475
Total deferred tax assets		3,231
Deferred tax liabilities
Undistributed Foreign Earnings	$	(785)
Total deferred tax liability		(785)
Net deferred tax assets, before valuation allowance	$	2,446
Valuation allowance		(1,750)
Net deferred tax asset	$	696

We have unrecognized tax benefit NOL’s which are comprised of windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.  Due to a recently adopted accounting pronouncement, ASU No. 2014-09, topic 740 “Income Tax”, these NOL’s were deducted from our NOL carryforwards and are not included in the above summarized net deferred tax asset.  When utilized, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recorded as a reduction to our taxes payable when realized, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital, not income tax expense.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. 

We conduct business globally and, as a result, Evolving Systems, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  Throughout the world, in the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities up until, two years in the U.K. and four years in India, following the end of the accounting period.  As of the date of this report, none of our income tax returns are under examination.

Segment Information

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance as our chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”). These chief operating decision makers review revenues by segment and review overall results of operations.

We currently operate our business as two operating segments based on revenue type:  license fees and services revenue, and customer support revenue (as shown on the consolidated statements of operations).  License fees and services (“L&S”) revenue represents the fees received from the license of software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed products, such as fees for custom development and integration services.  Customer support (“CS”) revenue includes annual support fees, recurring maintenance fees, fees for maintenance upgrades and warranty services.  Warranty services that are similar to software maintenance services are typically bundled with a license sale. Total assets by segment have not been disclosed as the information is not available to the chief operating decision-makers.

Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Common Share

NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including common stock issuable under participating securities. We compute diluted EPS using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including participating securities, plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.

Our policy is to treat unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, as participating securities, included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.  The following is the reconciliation of the denominator of the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2015		2014		2015		2014
Basic income per share:
Net income available to common stockholders	$	780	$	1,676	$	1,640	$	2,327
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		11,675		11,635		11,672		11,628
Basic income per share:	$	0.07	$	0.14	$	0.14	$	0.20
Diluted income per share:
Net income available to common stockholders	$	780	$	1,676	$	1,640	$	2,327
Weighted average shares outstanding		11,675		11,635		11,672		11,628
Effect of dilutive securities - options		273		272		271		284
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		11,948		11,907		11,943		11,912
Diluted income per share:	$	0.07	$	0.14	$	0.14	$	0.20

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0.1 million and 0.2million shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0.3 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Organization

Organization —We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and cable markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest wireless, wireline and cable companies worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of Operations Support Systems (“OSS”).  We offer software products and solutions focused on activation and provisioning: our service activation solution, Tertio® (“TSA”), used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks; our SIM card activation solution, Dynamic SIM Allocation TM (“DSA”) used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to wireless devices that rely on SIM cards; our cloud-based (SaaS) service activation, self—service mobile applications and data enablement solutions to wireless carriers and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); our connected devices activation solution, Intelligent M2M Controller that supports the activation of M2M devices with intermittent or infrequent usage patterns; and our number inventory solution, Total Number Management™ (TNM), a scalable and fully automated solution that enables operators to reliably and efficiently manage their telephone numbers (i.e. SIMs, MSISDNs, IMSIs, ICCIDs, IPs) as well as other communication identifiers such as URLs and email addresses.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We made estimates with respect to revenue recognition for estimated hours to complete projects accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowance, fair values of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for property, equipment and intangible assets, business combinations, capitalization of internal software development costs and fair value of stock-based compensation amounts.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency —Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of our foreign operations is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date.  Our consolidated statements of income are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period.  The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.  Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.

Principles Of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolving Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill

Goodwill —Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets —Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of purchased software and licenses, customer contracts and relationships, trademarks and tradenames, and business partnerships acquired in conjunction with our purchase of Telespree Communications (“Evolving Systems Labs, Inc.”).  These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives.

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  If we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the asset’s carrying amount. If an amortizable intangible or long-lived asset is not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss representing the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements—Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents —All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue when an agreement is signed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from two primary sources: license fees and services, and customer support.   The majority of our license fees and services revenue is generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to our software products and services to customize such software to meet our customers’ use.  When the customization services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. In these types of arrangements, we do not typically have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value on the license fee/services portion (services are related to customizing the software) of the arrangement due to the large amount of customization required by our customers; however, we do have VSOE for the warranty/maintenance services based on the renewal rate of the first year of maintenance in the arrangement. The license/services portion is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and the warranty/maintenance services are separated based on the renewal rate in the contract and recognized ratably over the warranty or maintenance period. We estimate the percentage-of-completion for each contract based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours and recognize revenue based on the percent complete multiplied by the contract amount allocated to the license fee/services.  Since estimated direct labor hours, and changes thereto, can have a significant impact on revenue recognition, these estimates are critical and we review them regularly. If the arrangement includes a customer acceptance provision, the hours to complete the acceptance testing are included in the total estimated direct labor hours; therefore, the related revenue is recognized as the acceptance testing is performed. Revenue is not recognized in full until the customer has provided proof of acceptance on the arrangement.  Generally, our contracts are accounted for individually. However, when certain criteria are met, it may be necessary to account for two or more contracts as one to reflect the substance of the group of contracts. We record amounts billed in advance of services being performed as unearned revenue. Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under the terms of the fixed-price contracts. All such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months.

We may encounter budget and schedule changes or increases on fixed-price contracts caused by increased labor or overhead costs. We make adjustments to cost estimates in the period in which the facts requiring such revisions become known. We record estimated losses, if any, in the period in which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a loss. If revisions to cost estimates are obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the interim or annual financial statements, we make adjustments to the interim or annual financial statements accordingly.

In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize license revenue when a license agreement has been signed, delivery and acceptance have occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Where applicable, we unbundle and record as revenue fees from multiple element arrangements as the elements are delivered to the extent that VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements exist. If VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist, we defer fees from such arrangements until the earlier of the date that VSOE does exist on the undelivered elements or all of the elements have been delivered.

We recognize revenue from fixed-price service contracts using the proportional performance method of accounting, which is similar to the percentage-of-completion method described above. We recognize revenue from professional services provided pursuant to time-and-materials based contracts and training services as the services are performed, as that is when our obligation to our customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.

We recognize revenue from our Mobile Data Enablement (“MDE”) contracts based on the number of transactions per month multiplied by a factor based on a unique table for transaction volumes relating to each account.

We recognize customer support, including maintenance revenue, ratably over the service contract period. When maintenance is bundled with the original license fee arrangement, its fair value, based upon VSOE, is deferred and recognized during the periods when services are provided.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation — We account for stock-based compensation by applying a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.    We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant.  This model requires the use of estimates for expected term of the options and expected volatility of the price of our common stock.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes — We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

We use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” Topic 606.  This Update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this Update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to illustrate the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. This ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies and 2017 for non-public entities, however the FASB has deferred the effective date by one year. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern .  Management of public and private companies will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to impact the consolidated financial statements.
