Industry Overview and Current Developments

The increased use of voiceover Internet Protocol (“VoIP”), mobile communications, eServices, content management, business process automation and various media types such as social media and Short Message Service (“SMS”) text messaging continue to cause a major shift in business communications technologies. Organizations in many industries continue to move from private branch exchange (“PBX”) phone systems to multichannel software platforms that support a broad list of applications whether the solution is deployed on-premises or through cloud services. This approach enables organizations to automate processes to improve organizational effectiveness, and the cloud-based deployments in particular help reduce communications equipment, operations, and maintenance costs.

Conventional call centers consist of phone banks and agents handling inbound and outbound calls. While managing only a single communications channel, these “call-only” centers still require multipoint systems consisting of a PBX, an automatic call distributor (“ACD”), and an automated attendant to handle voice-based interactions, along with optional systems such as an interactive voice response (“IVR”) system, a predictive outbound dialer and a call logger. Many call centers spend time and money to integrate these and other disparate phone system devices. Today, many conventional call centers continue the transformation from call-only centers to multichannel “contact centers” by incorporating all-in-one communications technologies. Such technologies provide email, web interaction, messaging capabilities, SMS texting, mobile applications and contact capabilities, and social media alongside phone calls to offer customers a wider range of contact options and service and support channels. Given the growing availability and use of cloud services, some call centers are finding it more cost-effective to make the transition to multichannel contact center functionality via the cloud, since on-premises equipment and integrations costs are minimized or eliminated with cloud solutions.

The cloud model is commonly referred to as “cloud services,” “cloud-based services,” “cloud computing,” “cloud communications,” “hosted services,” or “on-demand services” We believe cloud-based deployments of communications solutions offer advantages in the following four key areas over traditional on-premises deployments:

· Increased flexibility gives an organization greater agility to adapt to and control changing business and service conditions, including the ability to rapidly scale up or down to meet seasonality and growth needs;

· Faster deployment allows an organization to decrease set-up time and to deploy new capabilities rapidly;

· Minimal upfront capital expense of a cloud solution enables organizations to gain access to the solution’s functionality with limited capital outlay; and

· Reduced IT staff requirements, as a cloud solution lets an organization offload the complexities of upgrades, maintenance, and disaster recovery and refocus internal IT resources on the organization’s own strategic initiatives.

These advantages are favorable drivers in the sales process of cloud services, as are the increased availability and variety of cloud solutions and hybrid cloud/on-premises solution options.

According to industry analysts at Gartner, Inc., unified communications are the “direct result of convergence in communication networks and applications.” Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) has defined unified communications as a solution that “bridges the gap between telephony and computing to deliver real-time messaging, voice, and conferencing to the desktop environment.” The term “unified communications” has also been defined in other ways, primarily by vendors that package collections of products for voice, data, conferencing, video, and mobility into single offerings. The convergence of voice and data communications, increasingly on the cloud and historically on IP networks leveraging open standards software platforms and integrated application suites, is a standard for people, groups and organizations to communicate. Unified communications products based on software solutions and equipment such as servers, gateways, and IP-based phones and end-user devices, and offered as cloud or on-premises solutions, are proving to reduce administration costs over their proprietary hardware counterparts. At the same time, unified communications enable organizations to facilitate the integration and use of enterprise communication and collaboration methods such as presence management, conferencing, video conferencing, messaging, and other “unified” features in addition to voice.

Businesses and their customers have long utilized voice communications media such as the telephone, voice mail and the fax machine to interact. The Internet and the cloud have expanded communications media to include additional channels for email, web chat sessions, web callback requests, VoIP calls, text messages, videos, and social media. With improved customer service as an

3

ongoing objective, many companies are deploying web-oriented applications for email management, content management, knowledge management and web auto response for customer inquiries and frequently asked questions (“FAQs”), and web collaboration and other online services to raise service levels. Tools to monitor and respond to customer comments on social media networks are also now generally available to support customer service initiatives. Though many online services are unified in an applications approach, most companies still support online media channels using separate email platforms, web servers, chat servers and other disjointed equipment that can lead to inconsistencies and inefficiencies across customer touch points.

Mobile customers are an increasingly prominent and still growing segment of business communications and customer service. Customers in this segment choose to contact and interact with businesses and perform transactions using cell phones, smartphones and tablet devices. This customer segment is the result of cloud services becoming more globally available, combined with significant numbers of mobile subscriptions and devices in use worldwide. As mobile consumers come to expect omniclient software services and applications, which work uniformly on various mobile devices and operating systems, companies will need to continue to increase their focus on omnichannel client development and the ability to deliver a consistent brand experience across all channels used by mobile customers. Overall, as a consumer demographic, mobile customers have prompted an up-and-coming shift in the way service is delivered, and organizations have begun addressing their mobile initiatives from a strategic customer service point of view.

The onslaught of “Big Data” has made content management increasingly important for organizations in such industries as insurance, financial services, and healthcare that circulate large amounts of information internally and externally. Government agencies and other organizations tasked with managing confidential data are also putting greater emphasis on content management as they continue to archive information in larger volumes. Much like newer software-based solutions for converged voice and data communications and business process automation, many contemporary solutions for content management are server-based applications. End-users of content management systems can typically range from enterprise business users to contact center users, insurance agents and claims adjusters, banking loan officers, healthcare professionals, human resources personnel and similar users who must routinely access documents and information in the office or remotely outside the office. To meet the diverse needs of these end-users, the “virtual file cabinet” approach of a content management solution allows organizations to easily define file management structures and retrieval processes specific to their business, user and customer requirements.

Our Solutions

Overview

Our innovative all-in-one solutions and services are developed for:

· contact center automation;

· unified communications; and

· business process automation.

In addition, we provide content management, workforce optimization and vertical applications and we have customers in many different industries, including teleservices, insurance, banking, accounts receivable management, utilities, healthcare, retail, technology, government, and business services. Our solutions can be deployed via our cloud model using a data center, on-premises at the customer’s site, as hybrid cloud/on-premises solutions, or as a managed service in which we manage the communications solution for the customer.

Our Customer Interaction Center™ (“CIC”) software is developed to run on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, and various CIC-based applications are expressly designed to work with one another as a fully-integrated all-in-one solution that can process thousands of interactions per hour. CIC does not require multipoint hardware, integrations to third-party products such as ACD or IVR systems, or computer telephony integration (“CTI”) middleware. CIC’s all-in-one multichannel approach allows contact centers and enterprises to process communications consistently across various media channels: telephone calls, emails, faxes, voice mail messages, Internet chat sessions, IP telephony calls, SMS text messages, social media alerts and responses, and generic media such as trouble tickets. Organizations can apply business rules across media channels and different media types for uniform customer service processes, and for end-to-end tracking and reporting that improves workforce performance and service quality. Whereas many of our competitors’ unified communications offerings are stand-alone products, or part of a portfolio of integrated applications and platforms from multiple vendors, our all-in-one CIC application suite unifies multiple communications channels inherently, and has done so since its original development.  Our current release of the CIC software is version 4.0, released in November 2011.

Deployment Models

Cloud Offerings

Our solutions can be delivered via our Interactive Intelligence Communications as a ServiceSM (“CaaS”) cloud offerings, which are based on the CIC application suiteand include:

· CaaS Contact CenterSM for larger contact center operations; and

· CaaS Small CenterSM for operations that include between 10 and 50 agents.

Contact centers can deploy our CaaS Contact Center services via a local control VoIP model that keeps their current telecommunications circuits, all voice traffic and critical data at their site; or as a remote control VoIP model that routes calls over telecommunications circuits terminated at one of our cloud services data centers. Our CaaS Small Center offering can be deployed using the remote control VoIP model only. With our CaaS Quick Spin™ trial program, any contact center can have a risk-free introduction to our cloud applications with set-up time in minutes. After a customer has implemented our cloud solution, they can migrate their services (i.e., CIC server and applications) from a cloud solution to an on-premises model at their site. We additionally offer a fully managed cloud option in which we manage all cloud and on-premises services for the customer. Our cloud solutions offer a high degree of flexibility to adapt to changes in business needs. Additionally, our cloud offerings provide flexibile scalability, security and control; provide faster deployment times; require minimal capital expenditures for on-premises equipment at the customer location; and reduce information technology requirements for system deployment, implementation, administration and maintenance.

On-premises Offerings

As an on-premises server-based solution designed for IP networks, the CIC application suite eliminates multiple hardware “boxes” to reduce equipment costs and complexity, and provides a single point of system management to simplify administration and maintenance. For voice communications, the CIC solution is deployed as a PBX/IP PBX or with an organization’s existing PBX/IP PBX. For VoIP, the CIC software leverages the Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) global communications standard and incorporates a full-featured media server, media gateways, SIP proxy, and SIP station voice device. The CIC solution integrates with many popular business applications for collaboration, customer relationship management (“CRM”), enterprise resource planning (“ERP”), and other processes, enabling customers integrated access to their data. Similarly, CIC supports integration with applications designed to monitor social media networks and the comments of users regarding a business’ products, services and brands.

Contact Center Automation

With the CIC solution for contact center automation, we remain an industry leader in helping contact centers implement pre-integrated application solutions for multichannel contact management to improve services processes and the customer experience. The CIC software is developed on open standards, enabling contact centers to straightforwardly migrate to VoIP. On the strength of these factors, we were listed in the Gartner, Inc. Leader’s Quadrant for the sixth consecutive year in the 2013 “Magic Quadrant for Contact Center Infrastructure, Worldwide” report, the most recent report issued.

Our scalable all-in-one CIC contact center application suite enables contact centers to intelligently automate, route, monitor, record, track and report on phone calls as well as fax, email, web interactions, SMS, and social media, whether in a single location or across multi-site operations. Contact centers can leverage the CIC solution to support thousands of users, including remote “work-at-home” users, and can handle inbound, outbound and “blended” inbound/outbound interactions. As an organization-wide solution, CIC gives contact centers and enterprises a single software platform and pre-integrated all-in-one application suite for IP telephony, highlighted by multichannel ACD to uniformly manage all different types of voice and data interactions. CIC’s inherent IP PBX call processing, voice mail, fax server and unified messaging further enhance performance and customer service for contact center users and supervisors, as well as for business users. The SIP-architected CIC provides an inherent migration path for VoIP, making it particularly well suited for contact center operations that employ remote users. Organizations can deploy CIC as an on-premises product or through our CaaS Contact Center and CaaS Small Center cloud deployment models.

We offer a portfolio of solutions that work with our CIC platform and provide additional functionality including:

· Interaction Dialer®, a predictive dialer application that provides call scripting and other call functionality;

· Interaction Director®, which routes calls to locations that are capable of handling calls at that time;

5

· IBM® Sametime®, integrated with CIC to close communications and collaboration gaps between contact center agents and enterprise business users;

· CRM integrations with CIC, based on industry standards, and certified for Salesforce®, Oracle® Sales Cloud, Oracle RightNow CX Cloud Service, SAP Corporation, Oracle’s Siebel, Inc., Microsoft Dynamics®, and other vendors.

For self-service automation in the contact center environment, including speech-enabled IVR and email auto response technologies, we offer a full range of solutions that help organizations support their sales and service objectives while standardizing customer service options and reducing operations costs. One self-service application our customers have implemented is e-FAQ®, our knowledge management solution for FAQ auto response via email. For monitoring social media networks, the CIC software integrates with many available network monitoring and reporting tools, and adds the ability to route notification alerts to contact center users for response to relevant customer comments detected on social media sites.

Our Interaction Decisions™ solution is an agent capacity planning and analysis platform for broader workforce optimization in contact centers. Formerly known as Bay Bridge Decisions (“BBD”), this solution is based on analytic capability that assists contact centers in planning and optimizing resources, and determining the right number of agents for optimal customer service.

Unified Communications

Leveraging our strength in the contact center sector has enabled us to offer IP telephony-based unified communications both to mid-sized business enterprises and to larger enterprises. In positioning our contact center solution for enterprise unified communications requirements, we target organizations from 50 to thousands of users that wish to implement our single platform solution, which includes the ability to scale user counts up or down as needed. This unified communications solution approach can be implementedfor IP PBX, ACD, IVR, multichannel queuing, messaging, business process automation, content management, mobile access, presence management and collaboration, and other capabilities that meet the needs of enterprise business users and workgroups as well as contact center users.

With our Customer Interaction Centerfor Unified Communications (“CIC for Unified Communications”) we offer a single, highly-scalable, multichannel IP telephony and messaging platform that allows organizations to route live communications to various devices. For VoIP, our platform’s open, inherent SIP architecture paves a clear migration path to VoIP for organizations looking to

6

make the move to IP telephony, or who choose to integrate our platform to an existing PBX phone system and move to VoIP at a later time. In addition, our solution offers a practical replacement option for certain existing voice mail systems. The CIC for Unified Communications software additionally offers features including conferencing, real-time presence management, and remote access, with pre-integrated unified messaging, IVR, and the Interaction Client® user interface. Also optionally available are advanced “contact center”-style features such as workforce management and customer satisfaction surveys. By providing flexible choose-by-function deployment and licensing options for features as well as users, organizations can configure and centrally administer the precise IP telephony, messaging and unified communications environment needed by department, or enterprise-wide. This solution has been successfully deployed by enterprises and organizations such as banks, insurance companies, healthcare providers, service providers and other customer service-oriented companies, along with organizations that maintain mobile and remote workforces and/or thousands of messaging users.

Business Process Automation

From its inception, our core CIC software platform was developed as a process automation platform to automate and unify phone calls, faxes, emails and web interactions and to manage all of these media types with features including multichannel queuing, skills-based routing, speech-enabled IVR, and auto attendant processes structured according to an organization’s business rules. As an outgrowth of our CIC platform’s automation capability, our Interaction Process AutomationTM  (“IPA”) solution extends these communications automation practices to the automation of formal business processes, such as employees of an insurance company processing a claim or a banking loan officer reviewing and approving a customer’s online application for a new car loan. We are leveraging our CIC platform technology to provide a business process automation product solution for contact centers and enterprises in virtually any industry looking to automate key business and interaction processes.

IPA allows an organization to capture, prioritize, route, escalate and track each step in a work process, including progress, people, user skills and qualifications, availability, and resources. The IPA solution is designed to improve process efficiency and consistency by minimizing the latency and human error common in processes that are executed manually. IPA can be applied to horizontal processes such as approving time-off requests by a human resources group, or to vertical processes such as processing insurance verification for an upcoming medical procedure, or managing patient engagement for recently discharged patients with chronic diseases. As an “intelligent” application, the principles of IPA stem from technology utilized in contact centers, including presence to determine an employee’s qualifications and availability to receive a new work assignment regardless of location, and routing and queuing to route work more precisely through each step of the defined process, all while maintaining full integration with each associated communication activity.

Additional Offerings

Content Management

Content management is a related component of our positioning in the business process automation market. A primary benefit of our CIC platform’s open architecture has always been the ability it gives organizations to integrate databases, information systems, business systems, CRM packages, ERP solutions, and other data repositories to manage information critical to their business operations. Additionally, our integrated module for knowledge management and email auto response has continued to provide an intuitive solution for automating information management process and FAQ auto responses, allowing users in contact centers and service-oriented enterprises to effectively offload the manual, time-consuming task of answering customer inquiries.

Accounts Receivable Management

Accounts receivable management (“ARM”) products provide a set of software solutions for collection agencies, credit departments, debt buyers, creditors, and attorneys to manage all aspects of the debt collection and recovery process.

As a result of our 2010 acquisition of Global Software Services, Inc., doing business as Latitude Software (“Latitude”), our suite of solutions includes Latitude’s accounts receivable management products, which provide all of the features necessary to perform sophisticated debt collection operations. We recently rebranded these Latitude productsunder thename Interaction Collector™. During 2014, we plan to continue creating tighter integration between Interaction Collector-based applications and our core CIC solution, to continue to drive the Interaction Collector solution as a cloud offering, and to enhance the Interaction Collector first-party debt collection application.  We believe Interaction Collector’s integration capabilities and the availability of cloud options for its application offerings will more effectively position us against, and differentiate us from, our competitors within the vertical market for accounts receivable management.

Hardware

7

Some customers who license our CIC software also purchase certain hardware from us, such as application servers, media servers, gateways and telephone handsets, and occasionally networking hardware, as part of the CIC solution. In addition, we have developed our Interaction Media Server™, Interaction Edge™, and Interaction SIP Station™ appliances as a combination of hardware and our software.

Education Services

Our Education Services team is also divided into regions that align with our worldwide sales teams and provides technical certification and advanced instruction through on-site courses, classroom presentations and web-based training. This team develops and maintains course curriculum for formal certification programs such as sales, product installation, troubleshooting, system administration and custom design. Web-based training courses offer enhanced topics such as reporting, system administration and computer-based user training. All of our partners are required to maintain updated certifications to license and support our products. Classes are also offered to all of our end customers to encourage the most effective use of the applications.

Segment, Customers and Geographic Areas of Operations

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, the Company views its operations and manages its business as principally one segment which is interaction management software solutions licensing and associated services. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

As of December 31, 2013, we have licensed our products to more than 4,500 customers in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia/Pacific (“APAC”). No customer or partner accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in 2013, 2012 or 2011 or for 10% or more of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.Therefore, the loss of any one customer or partner would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.Additionally, no individual country accounted for more than 10% of our revenues, with the exception of the United States, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. See Note 10 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional financial information about each geographic area in which we operate.

Business Seasonality and Geographic Fluctuations

Our revenues are comprised of product revenues, recurring revenues and services revenues. Product revenues in the first quarter of each calendar year are typically lower than in the fourth quarter of the prior year, with sequential quarterly increases thereafter, although sometimes the third quarter is flat.  Recurring and services revenues typically increase sequentially quarter-to-quarter as our business continues to expand. These patterns are experienced by many enterprise software companies and reflect the customer spending patterns.

To the extent that product revenues fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter due to the seasonality of our business described above, our gross profit may also fluctuate. Our operating expenses generally increase sequentially in a given year. The gross profit and increasing operating expenses have a corresponding impact on our operating income. Operating income generallyhas been lower in the first quarter of a calendar year than in the fourth quarter of the prior year, increases in the second quarter, can be up or down in the third quarter compared to the second quarter and is highest in the fourth quarter of the year.

As stated above, we operate our business in three geographic regions — the Americas, EMEA and APAC. We have historically experienced quarterly fluctuations in our orders and revenues in the various geographies. These quarterly fluctuations have been due, in part, to the seasonality of our business generally, as described above, but have also been impacted by the size and number of orders received in a particular quarter in the geographic region compared to the orders received in the prior year period.

Supplier Relationships

We rely on third parties for several components in the delivery of our complete solution, including general purpose servers, third-party software, third-party hardware appliances, telephone end-points, and integration to various vendors’ hardware and software systems. Our reliance upon these third parties comes with some amount of risk, primarily due to the possibility of these suppliers being acquired or discontinuing a product we rely on, failure to renew terms of contracts with these suppliers, or disruptions in supply due to political instability or weather related events. In addition, third-party software is licensed from our competitors or suppliers which could become our competitors in the future, which may complicate our relationships with these suppliers and could make aspects of our business and products we are currently developing reliant upon those third parties. In many cases, however, we maintain relationships with several different suppliers and therefore believe alternatives could be available if a supplier would cease doing business with us. We feel that the risks are further mitigated by the revenue that we generate for these third-party suppliers and the length of notice that we would most likely receive from the suppliers if any of the products were discontinued.

10

Competition

The markets for our solutions are highly competitive. Competition is typically based on various factors, including the breadth and depth of functionality of the product line, price, deployment methods and options, ease of installation, ease of use, product roadmap, total cost of ownership, return on investment, integration with other applications, security, reliability and scalability. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by enabling customers to choose to deploy many of our solutions on-premises or as a cloud-based solution, offering an all-in-one platform, adhering to industry standards, and providing a broad set of applications for the business enterprise. Also contributing to our competitive strengths are our growing installed base of customers, newer products such as Interaction Decisions™, Interaction Collector™, Interaction Mobilizer™, Interaction Analyzer™, Interaction Web Portal™, Interaction SIP Station™, Interaction Conference™, and IPA, and continuing enhancements to our Interaction Recorder®, Interaction Optimizer®, Interaction Dialer®, Interaction Director® and Interaction Feedback® offerings.

Our competitive position varies in each of our primary markets. In the contact center market, we are considered a leader by third-party analyst firms based on the breadth of our product line, the completeness of our vision, and our ability to execute. We compete successfully with our contact center competitors, including those companies that are considerably larger in size. In the cloud-based contact center market, we have different competitors than those seen for our on-premises offerings, including inContact, Inc., Five9, Inc., and the Echopass solution, which was acquired by Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc. (“Genesys”). In the on-premises contact center market, our primary competitors are Aspect Software, Inc. (“Aspect”), Avaya Inc. (“Avaya”), Genesys and Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”).

In the unified communications market, we have a small market share in the pure IP PBX market segment. However, when our IP PBX product is sold in conjunction with our other solutions such as our contact center solution or integrated with solutions such as Microsoft® Lync™, resulting in a unified communications offering, our competitive position is stronger. Our primary competitors in the contact center and unified communications markets have a great deal of overlap, with a small number of competitors being exclusive to either one or the other of the two markets. Significant unified communications competitors include Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, Cisco, Siemens Unify, and ShoreTel, Inc.

The business process automation market can be divided into two submarkets: process automation and content management. We are still viewed as new to the process automation market and compete both with traditional telecommunications vendors such as Avaya and Genesys and, to a lesser extent, with traditional business process management suite vendors such as IBM, Lombardi Software, Inc., Pegasystems Inc., and Oracle Corporation. We entered the content management market in part through our 2009 acquisition of AcroSoft Corporation, which added insurance industry domain expertise as well as an installed base of customers.

While we are not new to the market for accounts receivable management, or collections, we reinforced our market position with our 2010 acquisition of Latitude, which added industry domain expertise and a larger installed base of collections customers. In the accounts receivable management market, vendors that compete against our products and those of Latitude include Ontario Systems, Columbia Ultimate, CR Software, LLC, The Computer Manager, Inc.’s Debt$Net Collection Software, and Fair Isaac Corporation.

Research and Development

Our ability to leverage technology is core to our strategic differentiation, and we continue to invest a substantial percentage of our revenue in research and development (“R&D”). Our R&D group is comprised of professionals with backgrounds in telecommunications, software and hardware. This combination of diverse technical and communications expertise contributes to our competitive advantage with a differentiated technology approach. A series of packaged customer solutions are available from this group, such as integration to SAP Corporation, Oracle’s Siebel, Inc. and Salesforce.com. These solutions allow partners to quickly install sophisticated applications for customers.

Within the R&D process, our Product Management team is responsible for coordinating activities with our development teams to define product requirements and to manage the process for market requirements, product development approvals, pricing definitions, release scheduling and beta test coordination. The Product Management team oversees the product management process from product concept through the end of the beta test cycle.

We are a Microsoft Certified Developer as well as a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider. These designations provide us early access to Microsoft technology and the opportunity to quickly develop products that effectively integrate with Microsoft products. Additionally, we are a Cisco development partner, and since 2000 have continued to develop interoperability that allows our contact center products to integrate and interoperate with those from Cisco.

11

R&D costs were $50.4 million, $45.7 million and $35.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition to these R&D cost, we capitalized $3.6 million of internal use software during 2013.  Our R&D group is structured into technical teams, each of which follows formal processes for enhancements, release management and technical reviews. R&D expenses include a testing department that utilizes automated techniques to stress test our core software. We continue to make R&D a priority in our business in order to remain on the forefront of innovation.

The R&D groups of companies we have acquired are integrated into our R&D group and follow the same structure and processes detailed above.

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

We own numerous patents and patent applications that we consider valuable components of our business. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely primarily on a combination of:

· copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark laws;

· confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties; and

· protective contractual provisions such as those contained in licenses and other agreements with consultants, suppliers, partners and customers.

As of December 31, 2013, we, together with our subsidiaries, held 19 patents, which expire between 2020 and 2031, and have filed other patent applications relating to technology embodied in our software products. In addition, we, together with our subsidiaries, hold 37 United States and 45 foreign trademark registrations and have numerous other trademark applications pending worldwide, as well as common law rights in other trademarks and service marks. We and our subsidiaries also hold 19 registered copyrights and have numerous other applications pending.

While we currently hold patents and have filed other patent applications relating to certain technology which we have developed, we do not believe that we are significantly dependent on any one of these patents. We hold trademark and copyright registrations domestically and worldwide and have numerous other applications pending worldwide for the name “Interactive Intelligence” and several of the names used for our products. We consider the trademark for the “Interactive Intelligence” name the most significant trademark or copyright held because of the impact the “Interactive Intelligence” name has on the market’s awareness of, and identification with, us. The “Interactive Intelligence” trademark registration expires in 2017 in the United States and can be renewed beyond that date. In addition, we have entered into a license arrangement for certain technologies that we utilize in our solutions. Without this license arrangement in place, we may be subject to litigation that could result in significant expense to us resulting from our use of these technologies. This license arrangement extends through 2026.

Environmental

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We believe the nature of our operations have little environmental impact. We therefore anticipate no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for our current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future.

Employees

As of February 28, 2014, we had 1,848 employees worldwide, including 460 in research and development, 364 in recurring services, 322 in client services, 471 in sales and marketing and 231 in administration. Our future performance depends in part upon the continued service of our key sales, marketing, technical and senior management personnel and our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining these individuals in the future.

We believe that we have a corporate culture that attracts highly qualified and motivated employees. We emphasize teamwork, flexible work arrangements, local decision-making and open communications. Certain key employees have been granted stock options and/or restricted stock units. We do not have any employees represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our relations with our current employees to be good.

Company Information

12

Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. was incorporated in Indiana in April 2011 and was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Interactive Intelligence, Inc., an Indiana corporation incorporated in 1994 (“ININ Inc.”). Effective July 1, 2011, Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. became the successor reporting company to Interactive Intelligence, Inc. pursuant to a corporate reorganization. We maintain our world headquarters and executive offices at 7601 Interactive Way, Indianapolis, IN 46278. Our telephone number is (317) 872-3000. We are located on the web at http://www.inin.com. We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other documents with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act. These periodic and current reports and all amendments to those reports are available free of charge on the investor relations page of our website at http://investors.inin.com/sec.cfm. We have included our website address throughout this filing as textual references only. The information contained on our website is not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and you should carefully consider them. Additional risk and uncertainties not presently known to us or which are currently not believed to be material may also affect our actual results. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.

Our Quarterly Operating Results Have Varied Significantly

Our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and depend on a number of factors affecting us or our industry, including many that are beyond our control. As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as an indication of our future performance. In addition, our operating results in a future quarter or quarters may fall below expectations of securities analysts or investors and, as a result, the price of our common stock may fluctuate.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results depend on many factors, including whether the deployment is on-premises or as a cloud-based offering, the type of license, the size, quantity and timing of orders received for our solutions during each quarter, the delivery of the related software or hardware and our expectations regarding collection. Because we do not know if or when our partners and current or potential customers will place orders and finalize license agreements, we cannot accurately forecast our licensing activity, our revenues and our operating results for future quarters. We have generally experienced a lengthy initial sales cycle, which can last six to nine months and sometimes longer. The lengthy sales cycle is one of the factors that has caused, and may in the future continue to cause, our product revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter which may in turn affect the market price of our common stock. Because of the unique characteristics of our solutions and our prospective customers’ internal evaluation processes, decisions to license our solutions often require significant time and executive-level decision making. As a result, sales cycles for customer orders vary substantially from customer to customer. The length of the sales cycle for customer orders depends on a number of other factors over which we have little or no control, including:

· a customer’s budgetary constraints;

· the timing of a customer’s budget cycle;

· concerns by customers about the introduction of new solutions by us or our competitors; and

· downturns in general economic conditions, including reductions in demand for contact center services.

Our limited number of solutions, changes in pricing policies, the timing of development completion, announcement and sale of new or upgraded versions of our solutions and the effect of cloud-based deployments on recognizing revenues are some of the additional factors that could cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from period to period.

We recognize revenues from different licenses over different periods depending on the satisfaction of the requirements of relevant accounting literature, including Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985, Software (“FASB ASC 985”), and ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“FASB ASC 605”).

A large portion of our operating expenses, including salaries and rent, is fixed and difficult to reduce or modify in a short time period. As a result, our financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected if revenues do not meet our expectations.

Our Future Business Prospects Depend in Part on Our Ability to Maintain and Improve Our Current Solutions and Develop New Solutions

We believe that our future business prospects depend in large part on our ability to maintain and improve our current software solutions and to develop new software solutions on a timely basis. Our software solutions will have to continue to achieve market acceptance, maintain technological competitiveness and meet an expanding range of customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our solutions, major new solutions and solution enhancements require long development and testing periods. We may not be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely and cost effective basis, solution enhancements or new software solutions that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements. We may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of solution enhancements, and our new solutions and solution enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. Significant delays in the general availability of new releases of our software solutions or significant problems in the installation or implementation of new releases of our solutions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our Solutions Could Have Defects for Which We Are Potentially Liable and Which Could Result in Loss of Revenue, Increased Costs, Loss of Our Credibility, Harm Our Reputation or Delay in Acceptance of Our Solutions in the Market

Our solutions, including components supplied by others, may contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. Despite internal product testing, we have in the past discovered software errors in some of our solutions after their introduction. Errors in new solutions or releases could be found after commencement of commercial shipments, and this could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from our other development efforts, or the loss of credibility with current or future customers. This could result in a loss of revenue or delay in market acceptance of our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential solution liability and certain claims. However, not all of these agreements contain these types of provisions and, where present, these provisions vary as to their terms and may not be effective under the laws of some jurisdictions. A product liability, warranty, or other claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our software solutions are developed to run on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system and use one or more media servers for voice (telephone call) processing and recording. Our server software also operates in a network environment with database servers, email servers, and third-party systems such as CRM solutions and Microsoft® Lync® Server 2010. As a cloud-based solution, our software solutions can be deployed as a cloud offering via wide area networks. Because of this complexity, our software may be more prone to performance interruptions for our customers than traditional hardware-based solutions. Performance interruptions at our customer sites, some of which currently do not have back-up systems, could affect demand for our solutions or give rise to claims against us.

The Overall Economic Climate Could Result in Decreased Demand for Our Products and Services

Our solutions typically represent substantial capital commitments by customers and involve a potentially long sales cycle. As a result, our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on customer purchasing decisions.  Given the current economic conditions, current and potential customers are more cognizant of their budgets for communication software, services and systems, which may result in our current or prospective customers delaying and/or reducing their capital spending related to information systems. Some of the factors that could influence the levels of spending by our current or prospective customers include availability of credit, labor and healthcare costs, consumer confidence and other factors affecting spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.

If Our Customers Do Not Perceive Our Solutions or the Related Services and Support Provided by Us or Our Partners to Be Effective or of High Quality, Our Brand and Name Recognition Will Suffer

We believe that establishing and maintaining brand and name recognition is critical for attracting, retaining and expanding customers in our target markets. We also believe that the importance of reputation and name recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Promotion and enhancement of our name will depend on the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising efforts and on our success in providing high-quality solutions and related services, including installation, training and maintenance, none of which can be assured. If our customers do not perceive our solutions or related services to be effective or of high quality, our brand and name recognition would suffer which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

14

Our Business Depends Substantially on Customers Renewing, Upgrading and Expanding Their Recurring Contracts for Our Services. Any Decline in Our Customer Renewals, Upgrades and Expansions Would Harm Our Future Operating Results.

We sell maintenance contracts with our on-premises solutions, which are typically one year in length. In addition, subscriptions for ourcloud solutionare typically  three to five years in length. Our customers have no obligation to renew their cloud subscriptions or on-premises maintenance contracts after their contract period expires, and they may not renew at the same or higher levels. In the first year of a subscription, customers often purchase a higher level of professional services than they do in subsequent years. As a result, our ability to grow our services revenues is dependent in part on customers purchasing additional services after the first year of their cloud subscriptions. We may not accurately predict future trends in customer renewals. Our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our services, the prices of our services, the prices of services offered by our competitors or reductions in our customers’ spending levels due to the macroeconomic environment or other factors. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our services, renew on less favorable terms, or do not purchase additional functionality or subscriptions, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our profitability and gross margin may be harmed.

Because We Recognize Subscription Revenue Over the Term of the Applicable Agreement, the Lack of Subscription Renewals or New Service Agreements May Not Be Reflected Immediately in our Operating Results.

A portion of our quarterly revenue is attributable to service agreements entered into during previous quarters. A decline in new or renewed service agreements in any one quarter will not be fully reflected in our revenue in that quarter but will negatively impact our revenue in future quarters. As a result, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our services in a particular quarter may not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods. As we continue to shift toward the cloud offering model, it is increasingly difficult to demonstrate period-over-period revenue growth because revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription terms.

We Face Competitive Pressures, Which May Affect Us Adversely

The market for our software solutions is highly competitive and, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software market, we expect competitive pressures to continue to be a risk to our ongoing success in the market. In addition, because our industry is evolving and characterized by rapid technological change, it is difficult for us to predict whether, when and by whom new competing technologies or new competitors may be introduced into our markets. Currently, our competition comes from several different market segments, including computer telephony platform developers, computer telephony solutions software developers and telecommunications equipment vendors. Additionally, alternative deployment strategies, such as cloud-based services, are offered by certain companies. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors in these market segments, or in new market segments with new types of competitors. In addition, increased competition or other competitive pressures may result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed base of customers than we do. Competitors may be able to respond to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more effectively than we can, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of solutions than we can. In addition, for a number of our larger competitors, the product segment in which they currently compete with us is a small portion of their overall offering. These competitors might be willing and able to dramatically cut prices in our segment in order to protect or grow other segments that are more important to their overall business. Current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including mergers or acquisitions, to increase the ability of their products to address the needs of our current or prospective customers. If these competitors were to acquire significantly increased market share, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our Cloud Solutions Present Execution and Competitive Risks

We are devoting significant resources to extend our current cloud solutions and our next generation cloud communication platform, which is and will continue to be materially dependent upon hardware infrastructure and licensed software that are owned by third parties, including OrgSpan, Inc. (“OrgSpan”). See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our relationship with OrgSpan.  There can be no assurance that suchthird parties will continue to support and maintain their products and services.  In addition to certain software development costs, we are incurring costs to build and maintain infrastructure to support cloud computing services. These costs have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact our operating margins.

15

Certain new competitors offer alternative cloud-based services for consumers and business customers. While we believe our expertise, investments in infrastructure, and the breadth of our cloud-based services provide us with a solid foundation to compete, it is uncertain whether our strategies will attract the users or generate the revenue required to be successful.Whether we are successful in our business model depends on our execution in a number of areas, including:

· continuing to innovate and bring to market compelling cloud-based experiences that generate increasing traffic;

· improving the performance of our cloud-based services; and

· continuing to enhance the attractiveness of our cloud-based platforms to partners.

A Failure or Compromise of Our Information Security Measures Could Result in Substantial Harm to Our Reputation, Daily Operations, or Profitability

We utilize web-based systems and applications to process new orders and to provide support services to our customers and partners.  Because these systems are Internet-facing, they are necessarily subject to a variety of cyber-attacks, which, if successful, could disrupt our ability to process new orders and our ability to provide support services effectively.  Additionally, we house corporate intellectual property and varying amounts of sensitive customer information on our private network.

We have implemented technical and administrative controls designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these systems and the data they house.  We have also implemented commercially available products and system tools designed to monitor, detect and/or prevent cyber-attacks and other malicious activity that may occur on our systems.  Additionally, we have developed and implemented processes to respond to and mitigate identified issues quickly and effectively.

If these security measures fail, are compromised or we fail to detect and mitigate any such compromise promptly, it could result in the loss of intellectual property, the breach of sensitive customer information entrusted to our care, damage to our reputation, disruption of routine operations, and/or significant financial expense related to the mitigation or response to, or litigation resulting from, any particular issue.

In the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2013, we didnot experience any events, either individually or in aggregate, of a material nature or that resulted in any material financial impact or any material loss or exposure of sensitive data.

Malicious Human Actions, Catastrophic Events or Disruption of Service at Our Data Centers May Disrupt Our Operations, Affect Our Operating Results and/or Delay Our Ability to Deliver Our Service to Our Customers

We utilize third-party hosting facilities to provide services and support to our cloud customers from a variety of data centers around the world.   We do not have sole control over the operations of these facilities. These facilities, along with our systems and operations, are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services, causing delays in completing sales, providing services or performing other mission-critical functions. The facilities also could be subject to break-ins, cyber-attacks, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct and malicious activity.

The continued threat of terrorism and heightened security and military action in response to this threat, or any future acts of terrorism, may also cause further disruptions to the economies of the United States and other countries and create further uncertainties or otherwise materially harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Likewise, events such as widespread blackouts could have similar negative impacts. To the extent that such disruptions or uncertainties result in delays or cancellations of customer orders or the manufacture or shipment of our solutions, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems or a significant interruption, disruption, or other performance problem with our service may harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results. This could reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, cause customers to terminate service and adversely affect our renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers.

Our Inability to Successfully Manage our Increasingly Complex Supplier and Other Third-Party Relationships Could Adversely Affect Us

16

As the complexity of our product technology and our supplier and other third-party relationships have increased, the management of those relationships and the negotiation of contractual terms sufficient to protect our rights and limit our potential liabilities have become more complicated, and we expect this trend to continue in the future. In addition, because we offer a whole product solution, this has added complexity to our supplier relationships. We license technology from third parties that is embedded in our products, making aspects of our business, including the next generation cloud communication platform we are currently developing, reliant upon those third parties.  One of these third parties, OrgSpan, is majority-owned by our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.See Item 13 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our relationship with OrgSpan.Some of these third parties that license technology to us are our competitors, or could become competitive with us in the future.  Certain license agreements permit either party to terminate all or a portion of the license without cause at any time. Further, some of the license agreements provide that upon acquisition of us by certain other third parties, we would have to pay a significant fee to continue the license. As a result, our inability to successfully manage these relationships or negotiate sufficient contractual terms could have a material adverse effect on us.

For certain of our orders, we supply hardware to support the implementation of our software. We are dependent upon third parties for the supply of hardware components to our customers. If these hardware distributors experience financial, operational or quality assurance difficulties, or if there is any other disruption in our relationships, we may be required to locate alternative hardware sources. We are also subject to the following risks related to our hardware distribution system:

· cancellations of orders or delays in delivering orders due to unavailability of hardware;

· increased hardware prices, which may reduce our gross profit or make our products less price competitive;

· additional development expense to modify our products to work with new hardware configurations; and

· performance issues resulting from product changes by our hardware suppliers.

We cannot assure you that we would be able to develop or locate alternative technology (including in situations where licensors cease to support and maintain what we license), or locate alternative hardware sources in a timely manner, on terms favorable to us, or at all. Even if we and/or our distributors are successful in locating alternative sources of supply, alternative suppliers could increase prices significantly. In addition, alternative technology or hardware components may malfunction or have interoperability issues that do not currently exist. The use of new suppliers and/or technology and the modification of our products to function with new technology and/or systems would require testing and may require further modifications which may result in additional expense; diversion of management attention and other resources; inability to fulfill customer orders or delay in fulfillment; reduction in quality and reliability; customer dissatisfaction; and other adverse effects on our reputation, business and operating results.

Existing and New Reseller Partners are Importantto Continued Growth

Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in part on our success in maintaining productive relationships with our existing and future reseller partners and in recruiting and training additional reseller partners. We rely primarily on these partners to market and support our solutions and plan on continuing to rely heavily on such partners in the future. We continue to expand our partner and distribution networks and may be unable to attract additional partners with both voice and data expertise or appropriate partners that will be able to market our solutions effectively and that will be qualified to provide timely and cost-effective customer support and service. We generally do not have long-term or exclusive agreements with our partners, and the loss of specific larger partners or a significant number of partners could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, due to the current economic conditions, the risk of failure of a specific partner or a significant number of partners is increased, which failure could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We Have Experienced Rapid Growth in Recent Periods. If We Fail to Manage Our Growth Effectively, We May Be Unable to Execute Our Business Plan, Maintain High Levels of Service or Address Competitive Challenges Adequately.

We have increased our annual revenue from $51.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2003 to $318.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. We have increased our number of full‑time employees from 337 as of December 31, 2003 to 1,764 as of December 31, 2013.

Our expansion has placed, and our anticipated growth may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, financial and other resources. We intend to further expand our overall business, customer base, headcount

17

and operations. We also intend to continue expanding our operations internationally. Creating a global organization and managing a geographically dispersed workforce will require substantial management effort and significant additional investment in our infrastructure. We will be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting procedures and we may not be able to do so effectively. As such, we may be unable to manage our expenses effectively in the future, which may negatively impact our gross margin or operating expenses in any particular quarter.

If We Are Unable to Maintain the Compatibility of Our Software With Certain Other Products and Technologies, Our Future Business Would be Adversely Affected

Our software must integrate with software and hardware solutions provided by a number of our existing and potential competitors. For example, our solutions must integrate with phone switches made by the telephone switch vendors and computer telephony software solutions offered by other software providers. These competitors or their business partners could alter their products so that our software no longer integrates well with them, or they could delay or deny our access to software releases that allow us to timely adapt our software to integrate with their products. If we cannot adapt our software to changes in necessary technology, it may significantly impair our ability to compete effectively, particularly if our software must integrate with the software and hardware solutions of our competitors.

Our Solutions Require Wide Area Networks, and We May be Unable to Sell Our Solutions Where Networks Do Not Perform Adequately

Our solutions also depend on the reliable performance of the wide area networks of businesses and organizations, including those that employ remote and mobile workers. If enterprise customers experience inadequate performance with their wide area networks, whether due to outages, component failures, or otherwise, our solution performance would be adversely affected. As a result, when these types of problems occur with these networks, our enterprise customers may not be able to immediately identify the source of the problem, and may conclude that the problem is related to our solutions. This could harm our relationships with our current enterprise customers and make it more difficult to attract new enterprise customers, which could negatively affect our business.

We May Not Be Able to Protect Our Proprietary Rights Adequately, Which Could Allow Third Parties to Copy or Otherwise Obtain and Use Our Technology Without Authorization

We regard our software solutions as proprietary. In an effort to protect our proprietary rights, we rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as patents, licensing and other agreements with consultants, suppliers, partners and customers, and employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements. These laws and agreements provide only limited protection of our proprietary rights. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization. A third party could also develop similar technology independently. In addition, the laws of some countries in which we license our solutions do not protect our software and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Unauthorized copying, use or reverse engineering of our solutions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Specific, Negotiated Provisions in Agreements May Expose Us to Liability That Is Not Limited in Amount By the Terms of the Contract

Certain contract provisions, principally confidentiality and indemnification obligations in certain of our license agreements, could expose us to risks of loss that, in some cases, are not limited by contract to a specified maximum amount but are generally limited by various pre-conditions to coverage.  We could be subject to additional liability and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if those seeking to enforce these contract provisions are successful in their assertions.

Infringement Claims Could Adversely Affect Us

Third parties have claimed and may in the future claim that our technology infringes their proprietary rights. As the number of software solutions in our target markets increases and the functionality of these solutions overlap, we believe that software developers may face additional infringement claims.

Infringement claims, even if without merit, can be time consuming and expensive to defend. A third party asserting infringement claims against us or our customers with respect to our current or future solutions may require us to enter into costly royalty arrangements or litigation, or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

18

We Depend on Key Personnel and Must Retain and Recruit Skilled Personnel, for Which Competition Is Intense

Our success depends in large part on the continued service of our key personnel, particularly Dr. Donald E. Brown, our Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder. The loss of the services of Dr. Brown or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, train, assimilate and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for persons with skills in the software industry is intense, particularly for those with relevant technical and/or sales experience. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key employees or that we can attract, train, assimilate or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future.

Our International Operations Involve Financial and Operational Risks Which May Adversely Affect Our Business and Operating Results

Our international operations require significant management attention and financial resources to establish and operate, including hiring appropriate personnel and recruiting effective international partners. Non-North American revenues accounted for 28%, 30% and 31% of our total revenues for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. We intend to continue to emphasize our international operations and we may enter additional international markets. Revenues from international operations may be inadequate to cover the expenses of those operations. Risks inherent in our international business activities may include the following:

· economic and political instability; 

· unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;

· tariffs and other trade barriers;

· timing, cost and potential difficulty of adapting our software solutions to the local language in those foreign countries that do not use the English alphabet, such as Japan, Korea and China;

· lack of acceptance of our solutions in foreign countries;

· longer sales cycles and accounts receivable payment cycles;

· potentially adverse tax consequences;

· restrictions on the repatriation of funds;

· acts of terrorism; and

· increased government regulations related to increasing or reducing business activity in various countries.

Fluctuations in exchange rates between the United States dollar and other currencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and particularly, on our operating margins and net income. We maintain a currency hedging program to help mitigate future effects of fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates on cash and receivables. These hedging techniques may not be successful. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make our solutions more expensive than competitive solutions not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability in international markets.

We Have Made Acquisitions and May Pursue Acquisitions That Present Risks and May Not be Successful

We have acquired companies and in the future we may pursue acquisitions to diversify our solution offerings and customer base, to strengthen our distribution channel or for other strategic purposes. We cannot provide assurance that our recent or future acquisitions will be successful. The following are some of the risks associated with acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations:

· Our acquired businesses may not achieve anticipated revenues, earnings or cash flow.

· We may be unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully and realize anticipated economic, operational and other benefits in a timely manner, particularly if we acquire a business in a market in which we have limited or no current 19    

expertise, or with a corporate culture different from our own. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully, we could incur substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical or financial problems.

· Acquisitions could disrupt our ongoing business, distract management, divert resources and make it difficult to maintain our current business standards, controls and procedures.

· We may be competing with other firms, many of which have greater financial and other resources, to acquire attractive companies, making it more difficult to acquire suitable companies on acceptable terms.

· We may not generate sufficient cash from operations and our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain capital through additional debt or equity financings. These financings may not be available as required for acquisitions or other needs, and even if financing is available, it may not be on terms that are favorable to us or sufficient for our needs. In addition, if we finance future acquisitions by issuing common stock for some or all of the purchase price, this could dilute the ownership interest of our shareholders. We may also be required to recognize expense related to intangible assets recorded in future acquisitions.

Changes in Corporate Taxes or Adverse Outcomes Resulting from Examination of Our Income Tax Returns Could Adversely Affect Our Results

Our provision for income taxes could be adversely affected by the following:

· Changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

· Earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates;

· Expiration of or lapses in the research and development tax credit laws;

· Transfer pricing adjustments including the post-acquisition integration of purchased intangible assets from certain acquisitions into our intercompany research and development cost sharing arrangement;

· Tax effects of nondeductible stock option expense;

· Tax costs related to intercompany realignments;

· Foreign losses not being utilized to offset future taxable income; or

· Changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, including accounting for uncertain tax positions or interpretations thereof.

If amounts included in tax returns are increased, reduced or disallowed, it would affect our loss carryforwards and tax credits and the amount of expected future non-cash income tax expense used by management and investors. Judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attributes prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”). In addition, FASB ASC 740 applies to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. Further, as a result of certain of our ongoing employment and capital investment actions and commitments, our income in certain tax jurisdictions is subject to reduced tax rates and in some cases is wholly exempt from tax. Our failure to meet these commitments could adversely impact our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We have also recorded state and local income tax incentives as a reduction of certain operating expenses and if those incentives were to be disallowed we may be required to record additional expense. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

As a Holding Company, Interactive Intelligence Depends in Large Part on Dividends from Its Operating Subsidiaries to Satisfy Its Obligations

20

Interactive Intelligence is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Its only significant assets are the outstanding shares of capital stock of its subsidiaries. As a result, it relies on funds from its current subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that it may form in the future to meet its obligations.

Although We Expect that the Distribution of Latitude Stock and the Transfer of Assets to Subsidiaries of Interactive Intelligence by Its Subsidiary ININ Inc. Will Not Result in Any Immediate Federal Income Tax Liability to Interactive Intelligence or ININ Inc., the Internal Revenue Service May Disagree

After the consummation of the corporate reorganization on July 1, 2011, ININ Inc. distributed the stock of Latitude to its parent Interactive Intelligence, transferred certain assets to newly created subsidiaries and spun off one of these newly created subsidiaries to Interactive Intelligence.  We do not believe that these actions resulted in any immediate federal income tax liability to Interactive Intelligence or ININ Inc. However, neither Interactive Intelligence nor ININ Inc. has requested nor will request a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the tax consequences of these actions. As a result, the Internal Revenue Service could take the position that these actions do not constitute tax-free transactions. In such case, ININ Inc. may be treated as having instead made a taxable distribution(s), which could result in material tax liability to Interactive Intelligence or ININ Inc. In addition, Interactive Intelligence may incur state income tax as a result of these actions, but we do not believe that these taxes will be material.

We Are Exposed to Fluctuations in the Market Value of Our Money Market Funds and Investments. The Financial Pressure on Investment Institutions Managing Our Investments or the Failure of Such Entities May Lead to Restrictions on Access to Our Investments Which Could Negatively Impact Our Balance of Cash and Cash Equivalents, thus Affecting Our Overall Financial Condition

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings and maturities of up to three years. These securities are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. This portfolio includes money market funds, notes, bonds and commercial paper of various issuers. If the debt of these issuers is downgraded, the carrying value of these investments could be impaired. In addition, we could also face default risk from some of these issuers, which could cause the carrying value to be impaired. Financial institutions have been under significant pressure over the past several quarters. Should one or more of the financial institutions managing our invested funds experience increased financial pressure resulting in bankruptcy, or the threat of bankruptcy, access to our funds may be restricted for a period of time and may also result in losses on those funds.

Our cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. We maintain the cash and cash equivalents with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. While we monitor daily the cash balances in the operating accounts and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which we deposit fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.

Our Stock Price Has Been and Could Continue to Be Highly Volatile

Our stock price has been and could continue to be highly volatile due to a number of factors, including:

· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

· announcements by us, our competitors or our customers;

· changes in financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding us, our industry or our competitors;

· technological innovations by others;

· the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies or of our competitors;

· the availability for future sale, or sales, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market; and

· general market or economic conditions.

This risk may be heightened because our industry is continually evolving, characterized by rapid technological change, and is susceptible to the introduction of new competing technologies or competitors.

21

In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the recent past that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many technology companies, including us. These price and volume fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has sometimes been instituted against that company. This type of litigation, regardless of the outcome, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes Made to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Other Legislative Changes May Impact Our Business

Revisions to generally accepted accounting principles will require us to review our accounting and financial reporting procedures in order to ensure continued compliance with required policies. From time to time, such changes may have a short-term impact on our reporting, and these changes may impact market perception of our financial condition. In addition, legislative changes, and the perception these changes create, can have a material adverse effect on our business.

Failure to Maintain Effective Internal Controls in Accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business, Operating Results and Stock Price

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) imposes certain duties on us and our executives and directors. We are also required to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404 have resulted in increased general and administrative expense and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities, and we expect these efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources.

If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a material misstatement or an investigation by regulatory authorities, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results, investor confidence in our reported financial information, and the market price of our common stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Organizational Documents and Indiana Law Make Any Change in Control of Us More Difficult, May Discourage Bids at a Premium over the Market Price and May Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, may discourage bids at a premium over the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.  These provisions include:

· the division of our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms;

· removal of directors only for cause and only upon a 66 2/3% shareholder vote;

· prohibiting shareholders from calling a special meeting of shareholders;

· the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock without shareholders’ approval; and

· advance notice requirements for raising business or making nominations at shareholders’ meetings.

The Indiana Business Corporation Law (“IBCL”) contains business combination provisions that, in general, prohibit for five years any business combination with a beneficial owner of 10% or more of our common stock unless the holder’s acquisition of the stock was approved in advance by our board of directors. The IBCL also contains control share acquisition provisions that limit the ability of certain shareholders to vote their shares unless their control share acquisition is approved.

Overview

Our Business

We were founded in 1994 and have been developing a fully-integrated suite of solutions as part of our Interactive Intelligence Customer Interaction Center® (“CIC”) platform that manages interactions by telephone, e-mail, fax, voicemail messages, Internet web chat, Short Message Service (“SMS”) text, social media and other forms of communication. We believe we have the broadest set of solutions developed by one provider including interactive voice response (“IVR”), automated call distribution (“ACD”), outbound dialing, recording, post-call surveys, workforce management (“WFM”) and private branch exchange (“PBX”) telephony. We have also developed a business process automation solution based on our communications platform that is easily managed from a common administrative interface with license keys controlling the functionality and number of users.

In addition to CIC and business process automation, we have acquired companies that provide document management, accounts receivable management and contact centercapacity planning solutions. These solutions complement the functionality of CIC, expand our market potential, and provide cross-selling opportunities. Our CIC and accounts receivable management solutions can be deployed on-premises or delivered via the cloud.

In 2013 we introduced our CaaS Small Center solution designed for contact centers with between 10 and 50 agents. We view CaaS Small Center as a natural extension of our brand, expanding our addressable market and helping to protect our business against small disruptive competitors. We also continue to invest in our highly scalable, multi-tenant, next generation cloud communication platform in an effort to target the lower complexity market.  This platform leverages contemporary open source technologies and Amazon Web Services as the deployment back-end, targeting both the small business market and large organizations.  

We provide hardware including servers, gateways and telephone handsets, which are principally obtained from third parties including Hewlett-Packard Company, AudioCodes and Polycom. Certain items such as our Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) Station for contact center agents are manufactured to our specifications, and we assemble our Interaction Gateway® using custom designed servers and third party voice cards.

In the past several years there has been a migration of contact centers from legacy Time Division Multiplex (“TDM”) based technology from larger competitors such as Avaya, Aspect and Genesys to Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”). We compete

26

primarily with the incumbent TDM providers and Cisco when customers are implementing VoIP technology. We continue to see an increase in customers moving from on-premises to cloud-based alternatives. Our cloud-based competitors are principally inContact, Inc., Five9, Inc. and the Echopass solution, which was acquired by Genesys.

We market our solutions directly to customers and through a network of approximately 360 reseller partners throughout the world. We acquired partners or the related Interactive Intelligence business of partners in Germany and Australia in 2011, South Africa and the Netherlands in 2012 and New Zealand in 2013 to increase our direct presence internationally. In 2013 our partners accounted for 35% of all orders received, with 65% of our orders sold directly to customers. Geographically, 80% of our orders received in 2013 were from the Americas, 13% from Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and 7% from the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region.

Outlook for 2014

We expect total order growth in 2014 of approximately 20% with cloud-based orders comprising  55% to 60% of total ordersas cloud adoption remains in the early stages and is experiencing rapid growth. We are executing on our strategy to increase revenues in future years with a revenue model that is increasingly driven by recurring sources. Our commitment to innovation has been instrumental in our ability to further extend our technology leadership position and gain market share globally.

Our target total recognized revenue in 2014isapproximately $365 to $370 million, which represents growth of 15% to 16% compared to 2013.  We expect recurring revenues, which include both maintenance contracts and cloud-based revenues, to represent about half of total revenues.We continue to addnew premises-based customers as certain organizations continue to prefer our on-premises solution over the cloud. We expect premises-based orders to remain constant in 2014 compared to 2013.

We expect 2014 non-GAAP operating margins in the range of 1% to 3%,reflecting the continued increase of cloud orders as a percentage of our total orders as well asincreases in investments in developing and deploying our cloud solution and higher spending to further expand our sales and marketing efforts.  Our full year 2014 non-GAAP EPS is expected to be approximately $0.15 to $0.36 based on 22.5 million diluted shares outstanding.  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe our accounting policies listed below are important to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect our reported amounts of revenues and expenses and are applied to significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. Such accounting policies require significant judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies. These policies, and our procedures related to these policies, are described below. See also Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further summary of our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Sources of Revenues and Revenue Recognition Policy

Product revenues are generated from licensing the right to use our software solutions on-premises, and in certain instances,selling hardware as a component of our solution. Recurring revenues are generated from fees from our cloud offerings and annual support fees from on-premises license agreements. Services revenues are generated primarily from professional services and educational services. Revenues are generated by direct sales with customers and by indirect sales through a partner channel.

Product Revenues

Substantially all of our license agreements are perpetual.  The following criteria must be met before we can recognize any revenue from a license agreement:

· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

· The fee is fixed or determinable;

· Collection is probable; and

· Delivery has occurred.

27

Upon meeting the revenue recognition criteria above, we immediately recognize as product revenues the residual amount of the total contract fees if sufficient vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to support allocating a portion of the total fee to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. If sufficient VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements does not exist, we recognize the initial license fee as product revenues ratably over the initial term of the support agreement once support is the only undelivered element. The support period is generally 12 months but may be up to 18 months for initial orders because support begins when the licenses are downloaded, when support commences, or no more than six months following the contract date. If the contract includes prepaid support, the support period may be up to 36 months. We determine VSOE of fair value for support in on-premises arrangements based on substantive renewal rates the customer must pay to renew the support. The VSOE of fair value for other services is based on amounts charged when the services are sold in stand-alone sales.

We recognize revenues related to any hardware sales when the hardware is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria noted above are met.

Recurring Revenues

We generate recurring revenues from our cloud offerings and annual support fees. Cloud customers pay a minimum monthly fee to use a specified number of software licenses, plus any overages. Customers are billed the greater of their minimum monthly fee or actual usage, and revenues are recognized monthly as services are delivered. The total contract fee also includes an implementation fee, which is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

We recognize annual support fees ratably over the post-contract support period, which is typically 12 months, but may extend up to three years if prepaid.

Services Revenues

We generate services revenues from professional services,which include implementing our solutions, and from educational services, which consist of training courses for customers and partners. Since 2012, services revenues are recognized as the services are performed.Prior to this time, professional services revenues related to our cloud solutions were deferred and recognized over the subscription period.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We review goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Account Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”). This guidance requires us to perform the goodwill impairment analysis annually or when a change in facts and circumstances indicates that the fair value of an asset may be below its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2013, when our annual 2013 goodwill impairment test was performed, we had three reporting units as defined by FASB ASC 350, and therefore our impairment review of goodwill involved reviewingthe three reporting units, which we identified as Interactive Intelligence, Latitude and Bay Bridge Decision Technologies, Inc. (“Bay Bridge”), for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets such as intellectual property trademarks and patents are amortized over a 10 to 15 year period using the straight-line method. In addition, other intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology and non-compete agreements are amortized over a 5 to 18 year period using the straight-line method.  Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform. We determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.

See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on goodwill and other intangible assets.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), we continue to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as our method of valuation for share-based payment awards. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and an expected risk-free rate of return. If factors change and we use different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in future periods, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

28

We record compensation expense for share-based awards using the straight-line method, which is recorded into earnings over the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $9.2 million, $6.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”), establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, our management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income prior to the period in which temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our income taxes.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 985, Software, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Historically, costs incurred by us between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.

During 2013, we have continued to invest in our next generation cloud communication platform, which will target the lower complexity contact center market. This platform is the first solution we will offer solely as a cloud service, with no on-premises option. The expenses incurred for this new platform result from internal activity with no intent for external sale because it will be offered as a cloud service. As a result, we have capitalized approximately $3.6 million of internal use software expenses relating to thisnew platform during 2013.  Research and development expensefor 2013 (after capitalization), 2012 and 2011 was $50.4 million, $45.7 million and $35.6 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Trends and Non-GAAP Metrics

Our management monitors certain key measures to assess our financial results. In particular, we track trends in on-premises and cloud-based orders and contracted professional services from quarter to quarter and in comparison to the prior year actual results and current year projected amounts. We also review leading market indicators to identify trends in economic conditions. In addition to orders and revenues, management reviews costs of revenue, operating expenses and staffing levels to ensure we are managing new expenditures and controlling costs. For additional discussions regarding trends, see “Revenues and Order Trends and Acquisition Highlights” and “Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011” below.

31

In addition to measures based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), our management monitors non-GAAP operating income and margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAPdiluted earnings per share (“EPS”) to analyze our business. These non-GAAP measures include revenue which was not recognized on a GAAP basis due to purchase accounting adjustments, exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of certain intangible assets related to acquisitions and adjust for non-GAAP income tax expense. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions are non-cash and non-GAAP income tax expense is pro forma based on non-GAAP earnings. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP results, when shown in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to our management and investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations. Further, our management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve management’s and investors’ ability to compare our financial performance with other companies in the technology industry. Because stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions amounts can vary significantly between companies, it is useful to compare results excluding these amounts. Our management also uses financial statements that exclude stock-based compensation expenseand amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions for our internal budgets. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income, GAAP operating income and GAAP diluted EPS with their non-GAAP counterparts for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011

Revenues

Our revenues include:  (i) product revenues; (ii) recurring revenues; and (iii) services revenues which are generated throughdirect sales to customers orthrough our partner channels.During the first quarter of 2012, we reclassified certain rental revenues related to product orders from product revenues to recurring revenues.  Historical amounts have been reclassified based on this revisedrevenue presentation.

Product revenues include on-premises software licenses and hardware and are recognized when revenue recognition criteria are met. Not all software and hardware product ordersare recognized as revenue when the orders are received from the customer because of product general availability, certain contractual terms or the collection history with particular customers or partners. Consequently, product revenues for any particular period not only reflect certain of the orders received in the current period but also include certain orders received but deferred in previous periods and recognized in the current period. In addition, a portion of product orders are related to support, and thus that portion is recognized over the support period as recurring revenues.

Recurring revenues include the support fees from on-premises license agreements and revenues from our cloud solutions.The support fees are recognized over the support period, generally between one and three years. Cloud-based orders are typically for periods of one to five years, with an overall average contract term in 2013 of 51 months.

Services revenues primarily include professional and education services fees. Services revenues have and will continue to fluctuate based on the product implementation requirements of our customers and partners as well as the number of attendees at our educational classes. We believe services revenues will continue to grow as product and cloud-based revenues increase, order sizes increase and as we license a greater percent of our orders directly to our customers.

Total revenues	$	318,234	$	237,365	$	209,526				34	13

Product Revenues 2013 vs. 2012

Product revenues increased primarily due to the recognition of $17.7 million in revenues that were previously deferred because of contract terms. The dollar amount of product orders was relatively flat year over year. We received orders for 118,000 on-premises CIC users in 2013 compared to 116,000 in 2012, an increase of 2%. While the mix of solutions varies year to year, we experienced stable per seat pricing.

Product Revenues 2012 vs. 2011

Product revenues decreased primarily because we deferred product revenue of $13.7 million  from orders that included software not generally available at the end of 2012. We received orders for 116,000 on-premises CIC users in 2012 compared to 95,000 in 2011, an increase of 19% and in-line with the year-over-year increase in on-premises orders of 25%.  Per seat pricing was stable.

Recurring Revenues 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Recurring revenues increased in both comparative periods due to continued increases in orders for our cloud solutions and the recognition of revenues from previously deployed cloud solutions. Our support fees increased with the continued growth of our installed base of on-premises customers as well as from our recent acquisitions. The average number of licensed seats associated with our cloud-based orders was 13,500 in 2013, up from 8,000 in 2012 and 4,000 in 2011. Per seat pricing was consistent between 2013, 2012 and 2011, as were renewal rates for support fees.

33

The breakdown of recurring revenues was as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,						Increase Between Periods
	2013		2012		2011		2013 vs. 2012	2012 vs. 2011
							%	%

Total	$	147,941	$	118,343	$	93,363	25	27

Our unrecognized contracted cloud-based revenues were $184.2 million and $89.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These unrecognized revenues are not included in deferred revenues on our balance sheet, but represent the remaining minimum value of non-cancellable agreements that have not yet been invoiced. 

Service Revenues 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Services revenues increased in both comparative periods primarilydue to growth in the number and scope of professional service engagements, for both on-premises and cloud-based deployments.Prior to 2012, professional services revenues related to cloud implementations were deferred and recognized over the length of a contract. In accordance with FASB EITF Issue 08-1Revenue Recognition with Multiple Deliverables,for contracts signed in 2012 and 2013, cloud engagements were recognized as work was performed, which contributed to the year-over-year increase in recognized services revenues from 2011 to 2012. In 2012 and 2011, professional services revenues of $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to our cloud offerings were deferred and will be recognized over the expected life of the customer.

Costs of Revenues

Our costs of revenues include cost of:  (i) product revenues; (ii) recurring revenues; and (iii) services revenues. 

Costs of product revenues consist of hardware costs (including media servers, Interaction Gateway® appliances and Interaction SIP StationsTM that we develop, as well as servers, telephone handsets and gateways that we purchase and resell), royalties for third-party software and other technologies included in our solutions, personnel costs and product distribution facility costs. These costs can fluctuate depending on which software solutions are licensed (including third-party software) and the dollar amount of orders for hardware and appliances.

Costs of recurring revenues consist primarily of compensation expenses for technical support personnel and costs associated with deploying our cloud offerings. Some costs related to our cloud offerings, such as equipment expenses, are recognized over time, but others such as salary and travel-related expenses are recognized as incurred. Some of these costs are fixed while others are variable based on usage and call volume. We expect operating margins for our cloud-based offerings to improve over time as this portion of our business continues to scale.

Costs of services revenues consist primarily of compensation expenses for our professional services, client success and educational personnel.

34

Costs of Product Revenues 2013 vs. 2012

Costs of product revenues increased primarily due to the related increase in cost of goods sold recognized in conjunction with $17.7 million in product revenue recognized in 2013 that had previously been deferred.  Overall product margin improved primarily due to a higher mix of software sales, which contribute a higher margin than hardware sales.

Costs of Product Revenues 2012 vs. 2011

Costs of product revenues decreased primarily due to declines in the amount of hardware included in recognized on-premises orders, as we continue the shift to cloud solutions which typically include fewer hardware components, as well as an overall decrease in product revenues.  Product margin remained stable due to a consistent mix of hardware and software revenues in each year.

Costs of Recurring Revenues 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Costs of recurring revenues increased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to increases incompensation expenses related to staffing increases to support our expanding customer base and the growing number of cloud-based deployments, as well as related increases in data center, telecommunications and other related expenses as we continue to build out data centers around the world.

Costs of Services Revenues 2013 vs. 2012and 2012 vs. 2011

Costs of services revenues increased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to an increase in compensation, travel, and other direct expenses resulting from an increase in staff hired to meet the growing demands for our professional services. We also supplemented our services staff during 2013 by using third parties to assist with customer implementations, resulting in increased outsourced services expense in 2013 compared to 2012.

Gross margin		64.2	%		67.2	%		68.8	%

Gross Profit 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Gross margin decreased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to our investment in technical staff and increased data center costs to support our expanding cloud customer base. We are rapidly adding new cloud-based customers and have built out our data centers for potential customers in advance of revenue generation.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include costs for:  (i) sales and marketing; (ii) research and development; and (iii) general and administrative operations. 

Sales and marketing expenses primarily include compensation, travel, and promotional costs related to our direct sales, marketing, client success and channel management operations for our on-premises and cloud-based deployments. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in future periods as we continue expanding our sales organization and increasing our marketing and other promotional efforts. We believe these investments are critical to our future growth as we continue to increase our market share and expand internationally.  In addition, as our cloud-based orders as a percentage of total orders increase, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues may increase because revenues for cloud-based deployments are recognized over time while most related sales and marketing expenses are recognized as incurred.

Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of compensation expense, allocated corporate costs and depreciation expenses. We believe that continued investment in research and development is critical to our future growth, particularly because our competitive position in the marketplace is directly related to the timely development of new and enhanced solutions. As a result, we expect research and development expenses will continue to increase in future periods.

35

General and administrative expenses include compensation expense as well as general corporate expenses that are not allocable to other departments, such as legal, other professional fees and bad debt expense. We expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our staffing, acquire additional companies and expand our infrastructure consistent with our growth strategy.

Sales and Marketing 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Sales and marketing expenses increased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to increases in compensation and travel expenses resulting from staffing increases from the hiring of additional personnel or acquired through staff hired or added through acquisitions. Additionally, we increased spending on marketing programs, including promotional and branding initiatives.

Research and Development 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

Research and development expensesincreased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to increased compensation and other related expenses resulting from staffing increases through additional staff hired and acquired. In addition, research and development expenses increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to increases in outsourced services.

During 2013, we capitalized $3.6 million of development costs for internal use software for our next generation cloud communication platform. We will continue to capitalize development costs related to this project and will begin amortizing such costs once the software is ready for production. Including these capitalized costs, research and development costs increased 18% in 2013 compared to 2012.

General and Administrative 2013 vs. 2012 and 2012 vs. 2011

General and administrative expenses increased in both comparative periodsprimarily due to an increase in compensation cost, primarily resulting from staffing increases. Additionally, in 2013 allocated depreciation increased as we continued to expand our business infrastructure around the world to support our growth. 

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income, net

Interest income, net, consists of interest earned from investments, receivables and interest-bearing cash accounts. Interest expense and fees, which were not material in any periods reported, are also included. We invest in longer term investments with maturities up to three years to increase our overall yield on investments and monitor the allocation of funds in our investment accounts to maximize our return on investment within our established investment policy. We do not have any investments in subprime assets.

36

Our 2013 return on investments was comparable to 2012 while our average invested balances increased, resulting in higher interest income.

Interest Income 2012 vs. 2011

Interest earned on investments increased primarily as a result of increases in investments with maturities between one and three years.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) primarily includes foreign currency gains and losses. These foreign currency gains and losses fluctuate based on the amount of receivables we generate in certain international currencies, the exchange gain or loss that results from foreign currency disbursements and receipts, the cash balances and exchange rates at the end of a reporting period and the effectiveness of our hedging activities.

Other Expense 2013 vs. 2012

Other expense increased primarily due to the revaluation of certain intercompany loan receivables denominated in the South African Rand and theeuro, which weakened against the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 2013. We began hedging our exposure related to these amounts as of April 1, 2013.  We also realized losses on certain hedge contracts in 2013 that we adjusted to be in line with our current transfer pricing method.

Other Income (Expense) 2012 vs. 2011

Other expense for the year ended 2012 included $289,000 of foreign currency losses, offset by a $100,000 usage credit provided by our credit card provider. The change in foreign currency in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the change in value of the euro and Australian dollar.

Our effective tax rate was 27% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 46% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The tax rate is determined by considering the federal tax rate, rates in various states and international jurisdictions in which we have operations, and a portion of the amount of stock-based compensation that is not deductible for income tax purposes. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to recognizing research and development tax credits in 2013, of which $1.7 million related to 2013 and $706,000 related to 2012.  The 2012 research and development tax credit was recognized in 2013 because the legislation establishing the credit was signed into law in early 2013.  We also recognized a reduction of U.S. taxable income of $9.9 million resulting from a change in transfer pricing methodology with respect to our foreign subsidiaries in the second quarter of 2013. These decreaseswere partially offset by IRS audit adjustments for tax years 2010 and 2011, which were recorded in 2013, and a valuation allowance for prior Indiana research and development credits that will likely expire before being used.

37

As of December 31, 2013, we had $5.3 million of various tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income and taxes payable as described in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In January 2013, the Research and Development Tax Credit was extended through December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we generated $2.4 million of federal and state research and development tax credits for 2013 and, in 2013, recognized an additional $706,000in such credits related to 2012.

We have historically used a cost plus basis for calculating taxes in most foreign tax jurisdictions in which we operate.  A cost plus tax basis limits the taxes paid in these foreign jurisdictions to a markup of the costs that we incur in these jurisdictions and is not tied to the actual revenues generated.

The increase in the income for our foreign subsidiaries during 2013 was due to the change in our transfer pricing methods with respect to our foreign subsidiaries made during the second quarter of 2013. The impact of the foreign effective income tax rates could increase as we expand our operations in foreign countries and calculate foreign income taxes based on operating results in those countries. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash from the collection of payments related to licensing our solutions as well as from selling hardware, renewals of support agreements, payments for use of our cloud solutions and the delivery of other services. We use cash primarily to pay our employees (including salaries, commissions and benefits), lease office space, pay travel expenses, pay for marketing activities, pay vendors for hardware, other services and supplies, purchase property and equipment and fund acquisitions.   We continue to be debt free. 

As our order mix continues to shift to a higher percentage of cloud-based orders as a percentage of total orders, our liquidity may decrease due to cash collection being spread over the term of the contract. Additionally, since we continue to invest in infrastructure for our cloud solution ahead of orders, our margin on cloud-based orders is lower than on-premises orders which may decrease our liquidity.  We expect our cloud-based margin to increase as we continue to build a stream of recurring revenues. The table below shows the gross margins on each line of business:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Product Revenue	75	%	73	%	73	%

Support fees	84		83		84
Cloud-based	20		26		21
Services Revenues	26		31		30
Overall	64		67		69

We determine our liquidity by combining cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments as shown in the table below. Based on our recent performance and current expectations, we believe that our current liquidity position, when combined with our anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements and current or expected obligations associated with our operations over the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future.  Our largest potential capital outlay in the future is expected to be related to acquisitions and purchases of data centers and information technology equipment. If our liquidity is not sufficient to purchase a targeted company with our existing cash, we may need to raise additional capital, either through the capital markets or debt financings.

We believe that the funds of Interactive Intelligence and its subsidiaries that are held in foreign accounts can be transferred into the U.S. with limited tax consequences. Given our strong liquidity in the U.S., however, we do not expect to repatriate earnings from our foreign subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2013, Interactive Intelligence held a total of $3.6 million in its various foreign bank accounts and our foreign subsidiaries held a total of $22.0 million in their various bank accounts.  The temporary difference related to unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, that have not been subject to United States income taxation as dividends and are indefinitely invested outside the United States, was $6.3 million. If we were to repatriate all of those earnings to Interactive Intelligence in the form of dividends, the incremental U.S. federal income tax net of applicable foreign tax credits would be $1.0 million.

Cash flows from operations consist of our earnings, adjusted for various non-cash expense, such as depreciation and amortization, and balance sheet changes. The fourmost significant items that impacted our cash flow from operations during each of the comparative periods were our net income and changes in accounts receivables, deferred revenues and taxes.  

Accounts receivables increased $12.0 million, or 18%, as of December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012; however, as a result of strong collections during the fourth quarter of 2013 and a year-over-year increase in fourth quarter revenue of $20.2 million, or 29%, our 2013 DSO decreased seven days. Our DSO was relatively flat at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31,

39

2011 primarily due to substantial business that was recorded during the month of December 2012, which contributed to a year-over-year increase in accounts receivable of $12.1 million in 2012.

Increases in deferred revenues increase our cash flow from operations. These balances have increased each year primarily due to the growth in advance billings of support for our installed base of on-premises customers. Total current and long-term deferred revenues increased by $24.1 million and $16.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 compared to December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily due to corresponding increases in long-term support agreements, which are reflected on the balance sheet as long-term deferred revenues.

Increases in taxes receivables decreased our cash flow from operations. We had a tax receivable balance at December 31, 2013 of $4.1 million related to a tax benefit recognized during 2013 resulting from the changes we adopted in 2013 with respect to our transfer pricing methods.

Cash used in investing activities increased $22.7 million in 2013 compared to 2012primarily due to a $34.4 million decrease in proceeds resulting from the sale of available-for-sale investments, a $10.5 million increase in the purchase of property, plant and equipment, and a $5.3 million increase in capitalized software, partially offset by a $21.9 million decrease in cash used to fund acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities decreased $41.3 million in 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of a decrease in the purchase of available for sale securities, which was partially offset by $22.7 million of cash used to purchase ATIO, Brightware and Bay Bridge, and increased purchases of property, plant and equipment in 2012. 

Cash provided by financing activities increased $20.4 million in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to a $11.9 million increase in tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements and a $9.1 million increase in proceeds from stock options exercised.Cash provided by financing activities decreased $3.5 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease in tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements and a $1.6 million decrease in proceeds from stock options exercised.

Total	$	63,583	$	18,409	$	28,303	$	13,977	$	2,894

As set forth in the Contractual Obligations table, we have operating lease obligations and purchase obligations that are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. The operating lease obligations represent future payments on leases classified as operating leases and disclosed pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases. These obligations include the operating lease of our world headquarters and the leases of several other locations for our offices in the United States and 20 other countries.  See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on our lease commitments.

In addition, we have signed obligations for activities after December 31, 2013, such as marketing related initiatives, which are included in our purchase obligations. Finally, other obligations include amounts regarding our tax liabilities and uncertain tax positions related to FASB ASC 740. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on our uncertain tax positions.

In addition to the amounts set forth in the table above, we have contractual obligations with certain third-party technology companies to pay royalties to them based upon future licensing of their products and patented technologies as well as purchase obligations in which the payments due are based on a percentage of our revenues, and are therefore unknown. We cannot estimate what these future amounts will be.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

40

Except as set forth in the Contractual Obligations table, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources as of December 31, 2013.

We provide indemnifications of varying scope and amount to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our solutions.Our software license agreements, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees, include certain provisions for indemnifying customers, in material compliance with their license agreement, against liabilities if our software products infringe upon a third party's intellectual property rights, over the life of the agreement. We are not able to estimate the potential exposure related to the indemnification provisions of our license agreements but have not incurred expenses under these indemnification provisions.We may at any time and at our option and expense:  (i) procure the right of the customer to continue to use our software that may infringe a third party’s rights; (ii) modify our software so as to avoid infringement; or (iii) require the customer to return our software and refund the customer the fee actually paid by the customer for our software less depreciation which is generally based on a five-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The customer’s failure to provide timely notice or reasonable assistance will relieve us of our obligations under this indemnification to the extent that we have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. To date, we have not incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material related costs and, therefore, have not reserved for such liabilities.

Our software license agreements also include a warranty that our software products will substantially conform to our software user documentation for a period of one year, provided the customer is in material compliance with the software license agreement. To date, we have not incurred any material costs associated with these product warranties, and as such, we have not reserved for any such warranty liabilities in our operating results.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We develop software solution products in the United States and license our solutions worldwide. As a result, our financial results could be affected by market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates or weak economic conditions in certain markets. Market risk is the potential of loss arising from unfavorable changes in market rates and prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We transact business in certain foreign currencies including the British pound, Canadian dollar, South African rand, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar and the euro. However, as a majority of the orders we receive are denominated in United States dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could make our solutions more expensive and less competitive in foreign markets. We continue to mitigate our foreign currency risk by generally transacting business and paying salaries in the functional currency of each of the major countries in which we do business, thus creating natural hedges. Additionally, as our business matures in foreign markets, we may price our products and services in certain other local currencies. If this were to occur, foreign currency fluctuations could have a greater impact on us and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding hedging arrangements for the euro, South African rand, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, British Pound and New Zealand dollar.  For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded foreign currency losses of $2.1 million and $189,000, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 23% of our revenues and 19% of our expenses were denominated in a foreign currency. As of December 31, 2013, we had net monetary assets valued in foreign currencies subject to foreign currency transaction gains or (losses), consisting primarily of cash and receivables, partially offset by accounts payable, with a carrying value of approximately $28.4 million. A 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would have changed the carrying value of these net assets by approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2013, with a corresponding foreign currency gain (loss) recognized in our consolidated statements of income if not hedged.

Interest Rate Risk

We invest cash balances in excess of operating requirements in securities that have maturities of up to three years and are diversified among security types. The carrying value of these securities approximates market value. These securities bear interest at fixed interest rates. Based on the weighted average maturities of the investments, if market interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points from the level at December 31, 2013, the fair value of our portfolio would  decrease by approximately $278,000.

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. (the Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. In connection with our audits of the consolidatedfinancial statements, we have also audited the consolidated financial statement Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). TheCompany’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on theseconsolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the

consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance

of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of

management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011

1.THE COMPANY

Effective July 1, 2011, Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. (“Interactive Intelligence”) became the successor reporting company to Interactive Intelligence, Inc. (“ININ Inc.”), pursuant to a corporate reorganization approved by the shareholders of ININ Inc. at its 2011 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Reorganization”). Interactive Intelligence is conducting the business previously conducted by ININ Inc. in substantially the same manner. In these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the term the “Company” means ININ Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the periods through and including June 30, 2011, and Interactive Intelligence and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the periods after June 30, 2011.

The Company is a recognized leader in the worldwide contact center market, where its choice of cloud solutions and software applications provide a range of pre-integrated inbound and outbound communications functionality. This platform is also the foundation of the Company's solutions for unified communications and business process automation. The Company’s solutions are utilized across a wide range of industries, including teleservices, insurance, banking, accounts receivable management, utilities, healthcare, retail, technology, government and business services.

The Company commenced principal operations in 1994 and revenues were first recognized in 1997. Since then, the Company has established wholly-owned subsidiaries in 14 other countries. The Company’s world headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana with regional offices throughout the United States and 20 other countries. The Company markets its software solutions in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management reevaluates these estimates including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, research and development, legal, goodwill and intangible assets, other assets and accounting for income taxes. Despite management’s best effort to establish good faith estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassification and Adjustments

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company reclassified certain expenses which were included in cost of services in prior periods to sales and marketing expenses. In prior years, these costs were not significant; however, as these costs have continued to increase in line with the Company’s growth strategy, the Company concluded that it is appropriate to report these expenses as sales and marketing. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $1.8 million has been reclassified to sales and marketing expenses based on this new expense presentation. The reclassification did not have any impact on the overall results previously reported.  

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified liabilities related to straight-line rent accruals which were included in accrued liabilities to other long-term liabilities. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, $3.4 million has been reclassified to other long-term liabilities. This reclassification did not have a material impact on the overall results previously reported.

Revenue Recognition

47

The Company reports three types of revenues: product revenues, recurring revenues, and services revenues. Product revenues are generated from licensing the right to use its software solutions on-premises, and in certain instances, selling hardware as a component of the solution. Recurring revenues are generated by annual support fees from on-premises license agreements and fees from the Company’s cloud offerings. Services revenues are generated primarily from professional services and educational services. Revenues are generated by direct sales with customers and by indirect sales through a partner channel.

Product Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s license agreements are perpetual.  For any revenues to be recognized from a license agreement, the following criteria must be met:

· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

· The fee is fixed or determinable;

· Collection is probable; and

· Delivery has occurred.

For a perpetual license agreement, upon meeting the revenue recognition criteria above, the Company immediately recognizes as product revenues the residual amount of the total contract fees if sufficient vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to support allocating a portion of the total fee to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. If sufficient VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements does not exist, the Company recognizes the initial license fee as product revenues ratably over the initial term of the support agreement once support is the only undelivered element. The support period is generally 12 months but may be up to 18 months for initial orders because support begins when the licenses are downloaded, when support commences, or no more than six months following the contract date. If the contract includes prepaid support, the support period may be up to 36 months. The Company determines VSOE of fair value for support in on-premises agreements based on substantive renewal rates the customer must pay to renew the support. The VSOE of fair value for other services is based on amounts charged when the services are sold in stand-alone sales.

The Company sells hardware manufactured by third parties, which does not contain the Company’s software, and certain appliances, including the Interaction Gateway and the Interaction Media Server, which combine third-party hardware and the Company’s Interaction Gateway or Interaction Media Server software. These appliances are not pre-loaded with the Company’s Customer Interaction Center (“CIC”) software and the Company does not require its customers to purchase these items directly from them. The Company’s CIC software will still function properly on hardware, gateways or media servers purchased from other vendors. Although the appliances mentioned above are a combination of hardware and software, the software does not primarily work together with the hardware to provide the hardware’s essential functionality. In addition, the Interaction Media Server software can be purchased separately and loaded onto other media servers the customer already owns or purchased from another vendor. The Company recognizes revenues related to hardware sales when the hardware is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Contracts that contain both software and hardware are reviewed to allocate the deliverables into separate units of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements. The units of accounting fall into one of two categories:  software or non-software related products.  FASB ASC 605-25 is used to allocate the fair value of each.

Recurring Revenues

The Company generates recurring revenues from its cloud offerings and annual support fees. For cloud contracts, customers pay a minimum monthly fee to use a specified number of software licenses, plus any overages over the minimum. Customers are billed the greater of their minimum monthly fee or actual usage, and revenue is recognized monthly as the service is delivered. The total contract fee also includes an implementation fee, which is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

The Company recognizes annual support fees as recurring revenues ratably over the post-contract support period, which is typically 12 months, but may extend up to three years if prepaid.

Services Revenues

48

The Company generates revenues from other services that it provides to its customers and partners including fees for professional services and educational services. Revenues from professional services, which include implementing the Company’s solutions, and educational services, which consist of training courses for customers and partners, are recognized as the related services are performed.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company estimates bad debt expense based on a percentage of revenue reported and a detailed analysis of receivables each period.  The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of its accounts receivable. In the analysis, the Company primarily considers the age of the customer’s or partner’s receivable and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer or partner, the economic conditions of the customer’s or partner’s industry, and general economic conditions, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of its future allowance for doubtful accounts.

If payment is not made timely, the Company will contact the customer or partner to try to obtain the payment. If this is not successful, the Company will institute other collection practices such as generating collection letters, charging interest, involving sales personnel and ultimately terminating the customer’s or partner’s access to future upgrades, licenses and technical support. Once all collection efforts are exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with financial institutions and high quality money market instruments.

Investments

The Company’s investments, which consist primarily of taxable corporate and government debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and recorded as a separate component of equity until realized. Premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of securities below cost judged to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income when earned.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life. The Company leases its office space under operating lease agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (“FASB ASC 840”), for operating leases with escalating rent payments, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360,  Property, Plant and Equipment, certain of the Company’s assets, such as property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

49

The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”). This guidance requires us to perform the goodwill impairment analysis annually or when a change in facts and circumstances indicates that the fair value of an asset may be below its carrying amount.

Prior to its annual 2013 goodwill impairment test, the Company had one reporting unit as defined by FASB ASC 350. Beginning in 2013, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development assumed responsibility for overall operational and financial performance of Global Software Services, Inc., doing business asLatitude Software (“Latitude”)and Bay Bridge Decision Technologies, Inc. (“Bay Bridge”). In addition, these two entities are evaluated separately from the remainder of the company. As a result, the Company identified three reporting units for the purpose of our annual 2013 goodwill impairment analysis:  Interactive Intelligence, Latitude, and Bay Bridge. Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform.

Additionally, the Company has identifiable intangible assets such as intellectual property trademarks and patents which are amortized over a 10 to 15 year period using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology and non-compete agreements are amortized over a 5 to 18 year period using the straight-line method. The Company determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests  were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.

Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 985, Software, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.

During 2013, the Company continued to invest in its next generation cloud communication platform.  This platformwill be the first solution offered solely as a cloud service, with no on-premises option. The expenses incurred for this new platform result from internal activity with no intent for external sale. As a result, the Company capitalized approximately $3.6 million of internal use software expenses relating to its next generation cloud communication platform during 2013.  Research and development expense for 2013 (after capitalization), 2012 and 2011 was $50.4 million, $45.7 million and $35.6 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based payment awards. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and an expected risk-free rate of return. If factors change and the Company uses different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in future periods, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

The Company records compensation expense for share-based awards using the straight-line method, which is recorded into earnings over the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for employee and director stock options and restricted stock units recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $9.2 million, $6.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. See Note 6 for further information on the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their respective fair market values due to the short maturities of these financial

50

instruments. The fair values of short-term  and long-term investments are valued in accordance withFASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”), establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income prior to the period in which temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $5.3 million in tax credit carryforwards recorded as deferred tax assets as well as a valuation allowance of $135,000. The Company will continue to evaluate the valuation of deferred tax assets in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 740. See Note 9 for further information on the Company’s income taxes.

The revenue from sales tax collected from customers is recorded on a net basis.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of diluted net income per share excludes shares underlying stock options outstanding that would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Net income, as reported (A)	$	9,515	$	906	$	14,798
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (B)		20,033		19,241		18,714
Dilutive effect of employee stock options		1,055		921		1,171
Common stock and common stock equivalents (C)		21,088		20,162		19,885
Net income per share:
Basic (A/B)	$	0.47	$	0.05	$	0.79
Diluted (A/C)		0.45		0.04		0.74

Anti-dilutive shares not included in the diluted per share calculation for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were 197,000, 726,000 and 305,000, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

51

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income (loss).

Legal Proceedings

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs related to itsnext generation cloud communication platform and certain projects for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software.  Once a solution has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.  The capitalization of costs ceases upon completion of all substantial testing.  Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development, maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.  During the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $3.6 million of year-to-date costs related to the development of its next generation cloud communication platform.  The Company will continue to capitalize development costs related to this project and will begin amortizing such costs once the software is ready for production. 

Additionally, in 2013, the Company purchased several new business systems to meet its internal business needs and the Company has no substantive plans to market such software externally. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $2.5 million of costs associated with development and implementation of these systems.

3.INVESTMENTS

The Company’s short-term investments all mature in less than one year and the Company’s long-term investments mature between one and three years. Both short-term and long-term investments are considered available for sale. In 2013 and 2012, the Company purchased short-term investments for $26.4 million and $21.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012,  the Company held $32.2 million and $23.8 million, respectively, in short-term investments and $9.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, in long-term investments that were recorded at their fair values. The Company does not invest in subprime assets.

Gross realized gains and losses included in interest income, net totaled less than $10,000 in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Interest income, net was $833,000, $772,000, and  $434,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

FASB ASC 820, as amended, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; 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 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in active markets include money market securities. Such instruments areclassified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company invests in money market funds that are traded daily and does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in less active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include corporate notes, agency bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and international government bonds. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the

52

fair value hierarchy. The Company uses consensus pricing, which is based on multiple pricing sources, to value its fixed income investments. 

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s financial assets, classified as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

4.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and partners on a periodic basis and generally does not require collateral. The Company records unbilled accounts receivable, which represents amounts recognized as revenues for invoices that have not yet been sent to customers. This balance fluctuates depending on the contractual billing milestones and work performed related to projects specified in the contract. When the work performed is ahead of the billing milestones related to a services

53

engagement, unbilled accounts receivable will be recorded.  The balance of unbilled accounts receivable recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $6.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

No customer or partner accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues in 2013, 2012 or 2011 or for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s top five partners collectively represented 27% and 21% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reduced assets and accumulated depreciation by $2.6 million for fully depreciated computer and software equipment that was more than six years old and was no longer in use.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

The Company’s stock option plans, adopted in 1995, 1999 and 2006, authorize the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, as applicable, to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, and, in the case of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and as assumed by Interactive Intelligence (the “2006 Plan”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. After adoption of the 2006 Plan by the Company’s shareholders in May 2006, the Company may no longer make any grants under previous plans, but any shares subject to awards under the 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “1999 Plans”) that are cancelled are added to shares available under the 2006 Plan. At the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 22, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 plan which increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan by 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 9,050,933 shares are available for delivery under the 2006 Plan, which consists of (i) 5,350,000 shares, plus (ii) 320,000 shares available for issuance under the 1999 Plans, but not underlying any outstanding stock options or other awards under the 1999 Plans, plus (iii) up to 3,380,933 shares subject to outstanding stock options or other awards under the 1999 Plans that expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised on or after May 18, 2006. The number of shares available under the 2006 Plan is subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capital structure. The exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 there were 2,338,146, 753,883 and 1,292,851 shares of stock, respectively, available for issuance for equity compensation awards under the 2006 Plan.  

The Company grants RSUs and three types of stock options. The first type of stock option is non-performance-based subject only to time-based vesting, and these stock options are granted by the Company as annual grants to executives, to certain new employees and to newly-elected non-employee directors.  These stock options vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date.  The fair value of these option grants is determined on the date of grant and the related compensation expense is recognized for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The second type of stock option granted by the Company is performance-based subject to cancellation if the specified

54

performance targets are not met. If the applicable performance targets have been achieved, the options will vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the performance-related period has ended.  The fair value of these stock option grants is determined on the date of grant and the related compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, including the initial period for which the specified performance targets must be met.

The third type of stock option granted by the Company is director options granted to non-employee directors annually. These options are similar to the non-performance-based options described above except that the director options vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of these option grants is determined on the date of the grant and the related compensation expense is recognized over one year. These director options are generally granted at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders during the second quarter of each fiscal year.

The Company grants RSUs to certain key employees, executives and certain new employees. The fair value of the RSUs is determined on the date of grant and the RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. RSUs are not included in issued and outstanding common stock until the shares are vested and settlement has occurred.

The plans may be terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense Information

The following table summarizes the allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and RSUs under FASB ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Stock-based compensation expense by category:
Costs of recurring revenues	$	806	$	523	$	429
Costs of services revenues		245		147		94
Sales and marketing		3,109		2,250		1,677
Research and development		2,733		1,886		1,570
General and administrative		2,354		1,871		1,528
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	9,247	$	6,677	$	5,298
Effect of stock-based compensation expense on net income per share:
Basic	$	(0.46)	$	(0.35)	$	(0.28)
Diluted		(0.44)		(0.33)		(0.27)

At each quarter end, the Company evaluates the probability that the performance awards granted during the year will be forfeited at year-end for non-performance and reverses the associated expense recorded in previous periods. During the fourth quarter of 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company reversed stock option expense recorded in previous periods associated with these options totaling $128,000 in 2013, $ 54,000 in 2012 and $69,000 in 2011. After taking into account the options that were cancelled during 2013, 2012 and 2011, the estimated total grant date fair value, not accounting for estimated forfeitures, is as follows (in thousands):

	Number of Options Granted	Number of Options Cancelled		Grant Date Fair Value
Year:
2013	275	46	$	4,521
2012	416	21		4,896
2011	370	46		5,655

As required by FASB ASC 718, management has made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation expense only for those stock awards expected to vest. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company estimated

55

that the total stock-based compensation expense for the awards not expected to vest was $214,000, with such amounts deducted to arrive at the fair value of $4.3 million.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company re-evaluated the expected life of its stock options by reviewing the exercise, expiration and termination patterns of three classes of option holders. Based on the results of this analysis, the expected life for stock options issued in 2013 did not change from prior years; however, the expected life of certain types of stock options issued in the future may change.

Non-performance-based options are typically granted throughout the year to newly-elected non-employee directors and newly-hired employees of the Company, and are granted annually to management. Performance-based options are only granted to sales and marketing employees during the first quarter of each year and annual option grants to non-employee directors only occur during the second quarter of each year. The weighted-average estimated per option value of non-performance-based, performance-based and director options granted under the 2006 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $17.99, $12.21 and $16.18, respectively, using the following assumptions:

	Years Ended December 31,
Valuation assumptions for non-performance-based options :	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	54.36 - 54.44	%	59.04 - 64.70	%	62.42 - 64.68	%

Expected life of option (in years)	4.25		4.25		4.25
	Years Ended December 31,
Valuation assumptions for performance-based options:	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	57.56	%	63.23	%	65.55	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.73	%	0.79	%	1.97	%
Expected life of option (in years)	4.75		4.75		4.75
	Years Ended December 31,
Valuation assumptions for annual director options:	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	49.33	%	57.10	%	64.38	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.54	%	0.49	%	0.93	%
Expected life of option (in years)	3.50		3.50		3.50

Expected Dividend: The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Expected Volatility: The Company’s volatility factor was based exclusively on its historical stock prices over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options.

Risk-Free Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options.

Expected Term:The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and was determined using the simplified method as described in FASB ASC 718 for the Company's plain-vanilla options. The Company chose to use the simplified method given the lack of historical data for the current expiration term of six years and the non-employee director options that fully vest in one year. FASB ASC 718 permits the continued use of this method after December 31, 2007 if the Company does not believe it has sufficient historical data to support another method.  The Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate an expected term for its performance-based options and therefore uses 4.75 years, the same life as the plain-vanilla options but adjusted for the performance-based options having an additional year life.  The earned performance-based options accounted for 7%, 8%, and 5% of total options granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

56

Estimated Pre-vesting Forfeitures: The Company includes an estimate for forfeitures in calculating stock option expense. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers historical termination behavior as well as any future trends it expects.

For most options granted through December 31, 2004, the term of each option is ten years from the date of grant. In 2005, the Company began issuing options with a term of six years from the date of grant.

If an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who, at the time the option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of the option may not be less than 110% of the market value per share on the date the option is granted and the term of the option shall be not more than five years from the date of grant.

RSUs are valued using the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis taking into account an estimated forfeiture rate.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $39.3 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31, 2013 was $83.6 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of options currently exercisable as of December 31, 2013 was $52.4 million. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price per share of $67.36 as of December 31, 2013, which would have been realized by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of December 31, 2013 represented 1.0 million shares with a weighted average exercise price of $15.53.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.68 years.

The following table sets forth a summary of RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 Purchase Plan”). A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan. In May 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2000 Purchase Plan that increased the number of shares of common stock available for purchase and issuance to 750,000. The 2000 Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock through periodic payroll deductions of up to 20% of their total compensation up to a maximum of $1,000 per pay period. The price at which the Company’s common stock may be purchased is 95% of the fair market value of the Company’s closing common stock price, as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on the last business day of the quarter. The actual purchase date is generally on the first business day of the next calendar quarter. An employee may set aside up to $25,000 to purchase shares annually. The initial offering period commenced on April 1, 2000. A total of 19,002 shares, 25,644 shares and 16,912 shares were purchased and issued during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under the 2000 Purchase Plan at an average price of $44.02, $26.50 and $30.16, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there were 88,728 shares available for purchase and issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan.

The 2000 Purchase Plan was modified, as of January 1, 2006, to ensure that it was considered non-compensatory under FASB ASC 718. As a result, the Company has not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to its 2000 Purchase Plan.

7.LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company’s world headquarters are located in approximately 315,000 square feet of space in three office buildings in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Company leases the space under an operating lease agreement and amendments which expire on and after March 31, 2018. The Company also occupies a product distribution center in Indianapolis, Indiana and has several other office leases throughout the United States and in 20 other countries with initial lease terms of up to five years. The Company rents office space for sales, services, development and international offices under month-to-month leases. In accordance with FASB ASC 840, rental expense is recognized ratably over the lease period, including those leases containing escalation clauses. 

The Company believes that all of its facilities are adequate and well suited to accommodate its business operations. The Company continuously reviews space requirements to ensure it has adequate room for growth in the future. Since December 31, 2013, the Company has entered into two operating leases for additional office space, both of which expire in July 2015.

58

Rent expense, net was $9.9 million, $9.1 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Minimum future lease payments under the Company’s operating leases as of December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2014	$	11,377
2015		10,799

Total minimum lease payments	$	47,724

8.RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement benefits for substantially all of its North American employees. Participants in the Plan may elect to contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax annual compensation to the Plan, limited to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company, at its discretion, may also make annual contributions to the Plan.

Effective July 1, 2012, the Plan Administrator approved an amendment to the Plan Document to exclude temporary and leased employees from being able to participate in the Plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, subject to meeting specified operating targets, the Company matched up to 33% of the first 9% of a participant’s pre-tax compensation contributed to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s performance resulted in a match for the full amount of $2.0 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s performance resulted in no match; however due to the Company’s high order growth performance, its Board of Directors granted a discretionary match for the maximum contributionof $1.5 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s performance resulted in a match for the full amount of $1.3 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2012.

For an eligible participant who has worked for the Company for less than four years at the time of the Company matching contribution, the contribution will vest in equal installments over four years based on the anniversary date of the participant’s employment. For an eligible participant who has worked for the Company for four or more years at the time of contribution, the contribution is 100% vested.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, if the Company reports non-GAAP net income, the Company anticipates matching up to 33% of the first 9% of a participant’s pre-tax compensation contributed to the Plan.

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it has the option to do so at any time subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Upon termination of the Plan, either full or partial, participants become fully vested in their entire account balances.

Net deferred tax assets	$	21,296	$	16,501	$	7,264

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the periods in which those temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, if any (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The following table sets forth the items accounting for the difference between expected income tax expense compared to actual income tax expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Expected income tax expense at 35% tax rate	$	4,580	$	583	$	7,870
State taxes, net of federal benefit		361		554		710
Stock-based compensation expense related to non-deductible stock option expense		-		(7)		287
Disqualifying dispositions of stock options		(353)		(237)		(402)
Research tax credit		(2,441)		(621)		(519)
Prior year tax credit adjustment		702		97		(214)
Reserves for income tax exposures		(35)		431		-
Valuation allowance		135		-		-
Other		624		(40)		(311)
Income tax expense	$	3,573	$	760	$	7,421

Tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $13.5 million, $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The Company did not have a deferred tax asset on its balance sheet for the tax benefits from these deductions. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $5.3 million of foreign tax credits and federal and state research tax credit carryforwards available to offset taxes payable.

The Company and its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. During the second quarter of 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an audit of the Company’s 2010 and 2011 income tax returns. The IRS concluded its audit in the fourth quarter of 2013. Tax years 2012 and forward remain open for examination for federal tax purposes and tax years 2009 and forward remain open for examination for the Company’s more significant state tax jurisdictions. To the extent utilized in future years’ tax returns, net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2013 will remain subject to examination until the respective tax year is closed.

Historically, the impact of foreign effective income tax rates on the Company’s overall effective income tax rates had been immaterial due to the fact that the Company used a cost plus basis method for calculating taxes in most foreign tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A cost plus basis method limits the taxes paid in these foreign jurisdictions to a markup of the costs that the Company incurs in these jurisdictions and is not tied to the actual revenues generated. A cost plus basis method also guarantees the foreign subsidiaries operating income whereas foreign subsidiary resellers are not guaranteed a profit margin. However, due to the Company switching most of its existing foreign subsidiaries from cost plus to resellers entities, the foreign effective tax rate could become material in future years. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the recorded foreign tax expense (benefit) and the related effect on the income tax rates were $6.8 million, or 190%, ($2.9 million), or(376%), and $18,000, or 0.23%, respectively.  

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company has identified uncertain tax positions related to certain tax credits and certain state income tax apportionment that the Company currently believes meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold to be sustained upon examination. The balance of the reserve was approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company accounts for uncertain income taxes under FASB ASC 740. The Company recognizes financial statement benefits for positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	2013		2012
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at Beginning of Year	$	2,131	$	1,645
Increase in balance due to current year tax position		461		283
(Decrease) increase in balance due to prior year tax position		(505)		147
Increase on balance due to acquisitions		-		56
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at End of Year	$	2,087	$	2,131

61

If recognized, the entire remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. We recognize interest income, interest expense, and penalties relating to tax exposures as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $56,000 of interest expense and penalties related to the above unrecognized tax benefits.

10.SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC DISCLOSURES

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , the Company views its operations and manages its business as principally one segment which is interaction management software solutions licensing and associated services. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

Revenues derived from customers and partners located in the United States accounted for approximately 63% of the Company’s total revenues in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011.  The remaining revenues are from customers and partners located in foreign countries and each individual foreign country accounted for less than 10% of total revenues in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011.  The Company attributes revenues to countries based on the country in which the customer or partner is located. Additionally, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the percentage of the Company’s net property and equipment, which included computer and office equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements, that was located outside of the United States decreased to approximately 11% in 2013 from 16% in 2012. No more than 10% of the Company’s net property and equipment was located in any individual foreign country as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has received notification from competitors and other technology providers claiming that the Company’s technology infringes their proprietary rights. The Company cannot assure you that these matters can be resolved amicably without litigation, or that the Company will be able to enter into licensing arrangements on terms and conditions that would not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is also involved in certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While the ultimate liability pursuant to these actions cannot currently be determined, the Company believes these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. Litigation in general, and intellectual property litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict.

Guarantees

The Company provides indemnifications of varying scope and amount to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its solutions.  The Company’s direct software license agreements include certain provisions for indemnifying customers, in material compliance with their license agreement, against liabilities if the Company’s software products infringe upon a third party's intellectual property rights, over the life of the agreement. There is no maximum potential amount of future payments set under the guarantee. However, the typical arrangement states that the Company may at any time and at its option and expense:  (i) procure the right of the customer to continue to use the Company’s software that may infringe a third party’s rights; (ii) modify its software so as to avoid infringement; or (iii) require the customer to return its software and refund the customer the fee actually paid by the customer for its software less depreciation based on a five-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The customer’s failure to provide timely notice or reasonable assistance will relieve the Company of its obligations under this indemnification to the extent that it has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. To date, the Company has not incurred, nor does it expect to incur, any material related costs and, therefore, has not reserved for such liabilitiesin accordance with FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees.

The Company’s software license agreements also include a warranty that its software products will substantially conform to its software user documentation for a period of one year, provided the customer is in material compliance with the software license agreement. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs associated with these product warranties, and as such, has not reserved for any such warranty liabilities in its operating results.

Lease Commitments and Other Contingencies

See Note 7 for further information on the Company’s lease commitments.

62

The Company has received and may continue to receive certain payroll tax credits and real estate tax abatements that were granted to the Company based upon certain growth projections.  If the Company’s actual results are less than those projections, the Company may be subject to repayment of some or all of the tax credits or payment of additional real estate taxes in the case of the abatements.  The Company does not believe that it will be subject to payment of any money related to these taxes; however, the Company cannot provide assurance as to the outcome.

Pro Forma Results

The Company has not furnished pro forma financial information related to its Amtel, Bay Bridge, Brightware, or ATIO acquisitions because such information is not material individually or in the aggregate to the overall financial results of the Company.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following table presents a roll forward of goodwill as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	38,723
Amtel goodwill		296
Foreign currency adjustment		(1,721)
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	37,298

Prior toits annual 2013 goodwill impairment test,the Company had one reporting unit as defined by FASB ASC 350.Beginning in 2013, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development assumed responsibility for overall operational and financial performance of Latitude and Bay Bridge. In addition, these two entities are evaluated separately from the remainder of the company. As a result, the Company identified three reporting units for the purpose of our annual 2013 goodwill impairment analysis:  Interactive Intelligence, Latitude, and Bay Bridge. Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform. The Company determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests  were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.  

13.DERIVATIVES

The Company enters into derivative contracts to mitigate its foreign currency risk associated with transacting business internationally.  The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the revaluation exposure of its net monetary assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain intercompany payables and receivables.  These hedges are undesignated and all realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as incurred within other income (expense) on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  The objective is to offset the gains and losses on the underlying exposures with the gains and losses from the forward contracts.  The Company’s hedging policy prohibits entering into hedge contracts that are speculative in nature.

The Company records the fair value of its outstanding hedge contracts in other current assets and accrued liabilities depending upon the market value of the forward contracts at each balance sheet date.  The following table summarizes the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s outstanding currency contracts at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	USD Equivalent Notional Amount (000's)

(1) The fair value measurement of these derivative contracts falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB ASC 820. See Note 3 - Investments for further information.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded hedging gains (losses) of $932,000 and ($459,000), respectively.  

14.RELATED PARTY

The Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Donald E. Brown owns a controlling interest in OrgSpan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OrgSpan”), which provides cloud-based organizational directory services to its customers. Dr. Brown does not serve on the Board of Directors or as an officer of OrgSpan.  The Company has, and in the future may, enter into transactions with OrgSpan or its stockholders. If so, any such transactions will be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which OrgSpan subleases approximately 43% of the square footage of the Company’sleased office space in Durham, North Carolina. The term of the sublease

67

commenced on April 15, 2013 and expires in one year, but OrgSpan has the option to extend the term for successive one-year periods during the 89-month term of the Company’s office lease. OrgSpan paid rentof approximately $66,500 to the Company during the first year of the sublease and will pay rent of approximately $205,000 to the Company in year two of the sublease, with the annual rent for any subsequent years increasing by approximately 3% each year. OrgSpan will also pay the Company its proportionate share of the operating expenses and an initial fee of approximately $2,100 per month for the usage of the furniture, fixtures and equipment in the subleased space.

The Company is currently utilizing certain OrgSpan products on a free trial basis for a one year term ending April 10, 2014.  Unless previously terminated, the agreement will thereafter automatically renew on a month to month basis, with fees to be mutually agreed.  In April 2013, the Company entered into a mutual referral fee arrangement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which referral commission fees will be paid between the two companies. In July 2013, the Company entered into a Cooperative Development Agreement with OrgSpan pursuant to which the companies are jointly developing a shared code base that will be used by the Company to better enable integration of the Company’s products with OrgSpan’s Bridge product.  The Bridge product facilitates communications and connections with third party systems.  The shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products will be used in or be components of the next generation cloudcommunication platformthe Company is currently developing.  The shared code base will be owned by OrgSpan and, subject to certain restrictions, OrgSpan may distribute the shared code base.  The Company will have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify and distribute the shared code base, subject to certain restrictions.  The Cooperative Development Agreement has a two year term, but may be terminated by either party at any time on 30 days’ notice or by OrgSpan for cause.  If terminated for cause or insolvency, the right of the breaching or insolvent party to distribute or license the shared code base terminates immediately.  A related Reseller Agreement provides the Company with a non-exclusive right to market and grant sublicenses to certain OrgSpan products, including the shared code base, in connection with our current products.  The Company will pay product-specific fees to OrgSpan in connection with resales. The Company is negotiating a separate distribution agreement with OrgSpan in connection with the next generation cloud communication platformthe Company is currently developing.   

These agreements and arrangements with OrgSpan have been approved by the Company’s Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Sublease Agreement, mutual referral fee arrangement, Cooperative Development Agreement and Reseller Agreement were negotiated by the Company on an arms-length basis and were made on terms that the Audit Committee believes were no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.  In view of the unanticipated increased importance that the shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products are now playing in the development of the Company’s next generation cloud communication platform, the Audit Committee is reassessing the existing arrangements between the Company and OrgSpan.  As part of that reassessment, the Audit Committee is considering options, including purchasing OrgSpan or OrgSpan assets or amending the existing arrangements with OrgSpan, and has retained independent counsel to advise it.  Any such transaction or changes will be negotiated by the Audit Committee on an arms-length basis.

15.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2012-02, Intangibles –   Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.   This updated guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the amended guidance, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The guidance applies to both public and non-public entities and is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and noted no material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2013, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in FASB ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 for all public and private organizations. The amendments require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance became effective for public entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and noted no material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In July 2013, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes.   This updated guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. This guidance does

68

not require new recurring disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance during the first quarter of 2014 and does not expect that there will be a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

16.    UNAUDITED SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA

 The following selected quarterly data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

· Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

· Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and

· Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

70

The Company’s  management (with the participation and under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in theInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation and the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, as stated in their report dated March 12, 2014, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Item 11.Executive Compensation.

The information required by this Item concerning remuneration of our executive officers and directors, material transactions involving such executive officers and directors and Compensation Committee interlocks, as well as the Compensation Committee Report and the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, are incorporated herein by reference from our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after December 31, 2013.

Item 12.Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The information required by this Item concerning the stock ownership of management, five percent beneficial owners and securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is incorporated herein by reference from our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after December 31, 2013.

Item 13.Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and director independence.

Dr. Donald E. Brown, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, owns a controlling interest in OrgSpan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OrgSpan”), which provides cloud-based organizational directory services to its customers. Dr. Brown does not serve on the Board of Directors or as an officer of OrgSpan.  We have, and in the future may, enter into transactions with OrgSpan or its stockholders. If we do, any such transactions will be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter.

In April 2013, we entered into a Sublease Agreement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which OrgSpan subleases approximately 43% of the square footage of our leased office space in Durham, North Carolina. The term of the sublease commenced on April 15, 2013 and expires in one year, but OrgSpan has the option to extend the term for successive one-year periods during the 89-month term of our office lease. OrgSpan paid us rent of approximately $66,500 during the first year of the sublease and will pay us rent of approximately $205,000 in year two of the sublease, with the annual rent for any subsequent years increasing by approximately 3% each year. OrgSpan will also pay us its proportionate share of the operating expenses and an initial fee of approximately $2,100 per month for the usage of the furniture, fixtures and equipment in the subleased space.

We are currently utilizing certain OrgSpan products on a free trial basis for a one year term ending April 10, 2014.  Unless previously terminated, the agreement will thereafter automatically renew on a month to month basis, with fees to be mutually agreed.  In April 2013, we entered into a mutual referral fee arrangement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which referral commission fees will be paid between the two companies. In July 2013, we entered into a Cooperative Development Agreement with OrgSpan pursuant to which the companies are jointly developing a shared code base that will be used by us to better enable integration of our products with OrgSpan’s Bridge product.  The Bridge product facilitates communications and connections with third party systems.  The shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products will be used in or be components of the next generation cloud communication platform we are currently developing.  The shared code base will be owned by OrgSpan and, subject to certain restrictions, OrgSpan may distribute the shared code base.  We will have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify and distribute the shared code base, subject to certain restrictions.  The Cooperative Development Agreement has a two year term, but may be terminated by either party at any time on 30 days’ notice or by OrgSpan for cause.  If terminated for cause or insolvency, the right of the breaching or insolvent party to distribute or license the shared code base terminates immediately.  A related Reseller Agreement provides us with a non-exclusive right to market and grant sublicenses to certain OrgSpan products, including the shared code base, in connection with our current products.  We will pay product-specific fees to OrgSpan in connection with resales.  We are negotiating a separate distribution agreement with OrgSpan in connection with the next generation cloud communication platform we are currently developing.   

These agreements and arrangements with OrgSpan have been approved by our Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Sublease Agreement, mutual referral fee arrangement, Cooperative Development Agreement and Reseller Agreement were negotiated by us on an arms-length basis and were made on terms that the Audit Committee believes were no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.  In view of the unanticipated increased importance that the shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products are now playing in the development of our next generation cloudcommunication platform, the Audit Committee is reassessing the existing arrangements between OrgSpan and us.  As part of that reassessment, the Audit Committee is considering options, including purchasing OrgSpan or OrgSpan assets or amending the existing arrangements with OrgSpan, and has retained independent counsel to advise it.  Any such transaction or changes will be negotiated by the Audit Committee on an arms-length basis.

The information required by this Item concerning our policies and procedures for the review and approval of related person transactions, other transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and director independence is incorporated herein by reference from our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after December 31, 2013.

Item 14.Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The information required by this Item concerning the fees and services of our independent registered public accounting firm and our Audit Committee actions with respect thereto is incorporated herein by reference from our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after December 31, 2013.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made and entered into, effective as of the 11th day of March, 2002, by and between Thomas Fisher ("Employee") and Interactive Intelligence, Inc. ("Company"), an Indiana corporation.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Employee possesses certain skills which the Company wishes to utilize in its business, and the Employee wishes to provide certain services to the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, legal adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.  Employment.  The Company engages the Employee to serve the Company, and the Employee agrees to serve the Company as an employee in such capacities as the Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, determine, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 2.Term; Renewal.  The term of the Employee's employment under this Agreement shall be for an initial term commencing and ending on the dates set forth on the Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Addendum"), which term shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms, on the same terms and conditions set forth herein unless either the Company or the Employee gives written notice to the other, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, that the term will not renew.

Section 3.  Title, Services and Duties.

(a)  During the term of employment hereunder, the Employee shall serve in the capacities described on the Addendum and shall perform the duties and responsibilities described on the Addendum or as are normally associated with such a position in the Company's industry and as may be delegated to the Employee by the President or the Company's Board of Directors. 

(b)  During such employment, the Employee shall devote substantially all of the Employee's  business time, attention, energy and skill to the business of the Company, and shall perform such services in a faithful, competent and diligent manner at the direction of the President and of the Company's Board of Directors. 

(c)  During the Employee's employment, the Company shall provide the Employee with such office facilities and support services as the Company determines in its business judgment to be appropriate for the Employee to perform the Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder.

(d)  The Employee shall comply with all policies and procedures adopted by the Company

from time to time, including without limitation, policies regarding reimbursement for business expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and compliance with applicable laws.

Section 4.Compensation as Employee.At all times during the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Employee an annual salary in the amount set forth in the Addendum, payable at the usual payroll payment dates of the Company, and any other options or benefits set forth in the Addendum.  All amounts paid hereunder by Company to the Employee shall be subject to all applicable local, state and federal withholding taxes.  The Company may increase or decrease the salary set forth herein from time to time, in its sole discretion, but any decrease may only be made upon fifteen (15) days prior notice.

Section 5.Termination and Severance Payments

(a)  In the event that the employment of the Employee is terminated for cause or in the event that the Employee resigns his/her employment with the Company, the Employee shall be paid any salary and any other benefits which have then accrued and to which the Employee is entitled to at such time.  However, in such event, the Employee shall not be entitled to any severance compensation as set forth in subparagraph (b) below.  

(b) In the event that the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for cause, in addition to receiving all accrued salary and benefits to which the Employee is entitled to at such time, the Company further agrees to pay the Employee as severance pay an amount equal to the Employee's salary as in effect at such time for an additional one (1) month from the date of termination, with payments to be made on the Company's usual payroll payment dates. 

(c)  All amounts paid under Subsections (a) or (b) hereof  to the Employee shall be subject to all applicable local, state or federal withholding taxes, if any.

Section 6.Employee Benefits. 

(a)  The Employee shall be limited each calendar year to a vacation benefit for the amount of time shown in the Addendum (prorated from the date of commencement to the end of that applicable calendar year).  All vacation benefits must be fully utilized in the calendar year in which accrued, provided that (i) no vacation may be taken during the first six (6) months of the initial term hereof without the prior written consent of the Company, (ii) the Employee must comply with procedures adopted from time to time by the Company with respect to the scheduling of vacations, and (iii) if because of the Company's requirements, the Company does not approve the Employee's requested vacation schedule and thus prevents the Employee from fully utilizing all of the Employee's vacation in the year earned, the Company and the Employee shall in good faith make arrangements for either the carryover of such unused vacation to the next calendar year or such other arrangements as are mutually satisfactory. 

(b)  During the term of the Employee's employment hereunder, the Employee shall be entitled to participate, upon the same terms and conditions applicable to employees generally in any life, health, hospitalization or any other insurance program, or any other pension or benefit plan which the Company may from time to time provide or make available to the Company's employees and for which the Employee is eligible and qualified; provided that if the inclusion of

2

the Employee under any such program or plan causes or would cause either such program or plan to be terminated or the Company to incur a materially disproportionate additional cost, the Company may elect to provide benefits of a substantially similar nature which avoids such adverse effects.

Section 7.Covenant Not to Compete.

(a)  During the Employee's service hereunder and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, regardless of the reason or method of termination, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, for the Employee's own benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity:

(i)solicit in any manner, seek to obtain, or service the business of any customer of the Company, other than for the Company;

(ii)become an owner of any business, if such business competes with the Company;

(iii)become employed by or serve as an agent, independent contractor or representative of any business which competes with the Company;

(iv)solicit the employment of or hire any employee of the Company, or encourage any employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company; or

(v)prepare in any manner to compete with the Company.

(b)  For purposes of this Agreement, a "customer" shall be deemed to be any person, business, partnership, proprietorship, firm, organization or corporation which has done business with the Company or which has been solicited or serviced in any manner, directly or indirectly, by the Company within eighteen (18) months prior to the date of the termination of the Employee, and the phrase "service the business of any customer" means the development, modification, enhancement or improvement of any product or service offered by the Company or which is reasonably related to the products or services offered by the Company.  The Employee hereby acknowledges that, by virtue of the Employee's position and access to information, the Employee will have advantageous familiarity and personal contacts with the Company's customers, wherever located, and that the restrictions contemplated hereby are reasonable for the protection of the Company's goodwill and customer base, and the Company's efforts in the development of such customers. 

(c)  If the Employee does not comply with the provisions of this Section 7, the eighteen (18) month period of non-competition provided herein shall be tolled and deemed not to run during any period(s) of noncompliance, the intention of the parties being to provide eighteen (18)  full months of non-competition by the Employee after the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

Section 8.Covenant Not to Disclose Confidential Information.

(a)  The term "Confidential Information" as used herein shall mean any and all software programs, customer lists, trade secrets and information, know-how, skills, knowledge, ideas, knowledge of customer's commercial requirements, pricing methods, sales and marketing techniques, dealer relationships and agreements, financial information, intellectual property, codes, algorithms, research, development, research and development programs, processes, documentation, inventions, or devices used in or pertaining to the Company's business (i) which relate in any way to the Company's business, products or processes; or (ii) which are discovered,

3

conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Employee, either alone or with others either (x) during the term of this Agreement; or (y) at the Company's expense; or (z) on the Company's premises or with the Company’s equipment.

(b)  During the course of his/her services hereunder, the Employee may become knowledgeable about, or become in possession of, Confidential Information.  If such Confidential Information were to be divulged or become known to any competitor of the Company or to any other person outside the employ of the Company, or if the Employee were to consent to be employed by any competitor of the Company or to engage in competition with the Company, the Company would be harmed.  In addition, the Employee has or may develop relationships with the Company's customers which could be used to solicit the business of such customers away from the Company.  The parties have entered into this Agreement to guard against such potential harm.

(c)  The Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the benefit of the Company or communicate, deliver, exhibit or provide any Confidential Information to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, organization or entity, except other employees or agents of the Company as required in the normal course of  the Employee's service as an employee or except as the President or any authorized officer of the Company may direct in writing.  The covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be binding upon the Employee during the term of this Agreement and following the termination hereof, for the shorter of the period until either (i) until such Confidential Information becomes obsolete; or  (ii) until such Confidential Information becomes generally known in the Company's trade or industry by means other than a breach of this covenant. 

(d)  The Employee agrees that all Confidential Information and all records, documents and materials relating to all of such Confidential Information, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

Section 9.Remedies.

(a)  The Employee agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable damage and injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of any breach by the Employee of any provision of Sections 7 or 8 hereof.  Accordingly, in the event of a breach or of a threatened or attempted breach by the Employee of Sections 7 or 8 hereof, in addition to all other remedies to which the Company is entitled under law, in equity, or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction (without the necessity of showing any actual damage) or a decree of specific performance of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof and no bond or other security shall be required in that connection.  The Company shall be entitled to recover from the Employee, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any action wherein the Company successfully enforces the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof against the breach or threatened breach of those provisions by the Employee. 

(b)The Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, the Employee can obtain other engagements or employment of a kind and nature similar to that contemplated herein and that the issuance of an injunction to enforce the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof will not prevent the Employee from

Section 10.Inventions.

(a) The Employee shall disclose fully to the Company all inventions (as defined below) conceived or discovered by the Employee, whether solely or jointly with others during the term of this Agreement.  Such inventions shall belong solely to the Company and shall not belong to the Employee.  During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall assign to the Company, exclusively and free from any royalty obligation or any other legal or equitable title or right of the Employee, all such inventions referred to above and all patents, trademarks, copyrights, and maskworks, and any and all applications and rights pertaining thereto on a worldwide basis.  The Employee shall assist the Company, during and subsequent to the term hereof, in every proper way, but without any further compensation or additional consideration, to transfer and assign such inventions to and for the Company's benefit and enjoyment and to cooperate as may be reasonably requested to perfect the Company's ownership therein and, if requested by the Company, to prosecute or direct in prosecuting any application for or registration with respect to any patent or other applicable intellectual property right, including, but not in limitation thereof, the execution and delivery of applications for the registration of one or more intellectual property rights and assignments of the same as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Company in any office selected by the Company.  The judgment of the Company with respect to the registrability of any particular item of intellectual property shall be final and conclusive as between the Employee and the Company.

(b)  Any improvements made upon such inventions by the Employee subsequent to the term hereof shall be presumed to have been developed during the term hereof and by and for the benefit of the Company and accordingly shall be the property of the Company.

(c)  The Employee agrees to execute such other standard forms relating to the invention or development of inventions and other intellectual properties as the Company may require of its consultants and employees generally.

5

services or activities, or arising out of or suggested by any task assigned to be performed by the Employee, solely or jointly with others, for or on behalf of the Company.

Section 11.Surrender of Records.  Upon termination of the Employee's employment for any reason, the Employee shall immediately surrender to the Company any and all records, notes, documents, forms, manuals, photographs, instructions, lists, drawings, blueprints, programs, diagrams or other written, printed or electronic material (including any and all copies made at any time whatsoever) in his or her possession or control which pertain to the business of the Company.

Section 12.Termination.   During the initial term or any renewal term, the employment of the Employee may be terminated at will for any reason by either the Company or the Employee, with at least ten (10) days prior written notice by the terminating party delivered to the other setting forth whether such termination was for cause or without cause to determine whether the Employee is entitled to any severance payment pursuant to Section 5 above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be terminated immediately, without any notice or waiting period, upon the Employee's death.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the parties.

Section 13.Parties Bound.  All provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made and entered into, effective as of the 26th day of November, 2003, by and between Paul F. Weber ("Employee") and Interactive Intelligence, Inc. ("Company"), an Indiana corporation.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Employee possesses certain skills which the Company wishes to utilize in its business, and the Employee wishes to provide certain services to the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, legal adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1.  Employment.  The Company engages the Employee to serve the Company, and the Employee agrees to serve the Company as an employee in such capacities as the Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, determine, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 2.Term; Renewal.  The term of the Employee's employment under this Agreement shall be for an initial term commencing and ending on the dates set forth on the Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Addendum"), which term shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms, on the same terms and conditions set forth herein unless either the Company or the Employee gives written notice to the other, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, that the term will not renew.

Section 3.  Title, Services and Duties.

(a)  During the term of employment hereunder, the Employee shall serve in the capacities described on the Addendum and shall perform the duties and responsibilities described on the Addendum or as are normally associated with such a position in the Company's industry and as may be delegated to the Employee by the President or the Company's Board of Directors. 

(b)  During such employment, the Employee shall devote substantially all of the Employee's  business time, attention, energy and skill to the business of the Company, and shall perform such services in a faithful, competent and diligent manner at the direction of the President and of the Company's Board of Directors. 

(c)  During the Employee's employment, the Company shall provide the Employee with such office facilities and support services as the Company determines in its business judgment to be appropriate for the Employee to perform the Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder.

(d)  The Employee shall comply with all policies and procedures adopted by the Company

from time to time, including without limitation, policies regarding reimbursement for business expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and compliance with applicable laws.

Section 4.Compensation as Employee.At all times during the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Employee an annual salary in the amount set forth in the Addendum, payable at the usual payroll payment dates of the Company, and any other options or benefits set forth in the Addendum.  All amounts paid hereunder by Company to the Employee shall be subject to all applicable local, state and federal withholding taxes.  The Company may increase or decrease the salary set forth herein from time to time, in its sole discretion, but any decrease may only be made upon fifteen (15) days prior notice.

Section 5.Termination and Severance Payments

(a)  In the event that the employment of the Employee is terminated for cause or in the event that the Employee resigns his/her employment with the Company, the Employee shall be paid any salary and any other benefits which have then accrued and to which the Employee is entitled to at such time.  However, in such event, the Employee shall not be entitled to any severance compensation as set forth in subparagraph (b) below.  

(b) In the event that the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for cause, in addition to receiving all accrued salary and benefits to which the Employee is entitled to at such time, the Company further agrees to pay the Employee as severance pay an amount equal to the Employee's salary as in effect at such time for an additional six (6) months from the date of termination, with payments to be made on the Company's usual payroll payment dates. 

(c)  All amounts paid under Subsections (a) or (b) hereof  to the Employee shall be subject to all applicable local, state or federal withholding taxes, if any.

Section 6.Employee Benefits. 

(a)  The Employee shall be limited each calendar year to a vacation benefit for the amount of time shown in the Addendum (prorated from the date of commencement to the end of that applicable calendar year).  All vacation benefits must be fully utilized in the calendar year in which accrued, provided that (i) no vacation may be taken during the first six (6) months of the initial term hereof without the prior written consent of the Company, (ii) the Employee must comply with procedures adopted from time to time by the Company with respect to the scheduling of vacations, and (iii) if because of the Company's requirements, the Company does not approve the Employee's requested vacation schedule and thus prevents the Employee from fully utilizing all of the Employee's vacation in the year earned, the Company and the Employee shall in good faith make arrangements for either the carryover of such unused vacation to the next calendar year or such other arrangements as are mutually satisfactory. 

(b)  During the term of the Employee's employment hereunder, the Employee shall be entitled to participate, upon the same terms and conditions applicable to employees generally in any life, health, hospitalization or any other insurance program, or any other pension or benefit plan which the Company may from time to time provide or make available to the Company's employees and for which the Employee is eligible and qualified; provided that if the inclusion of

2

the Employee under any such program or plan causes or would cause either such program or plan to be terminated or the Company to incur a materially disproportionate additional cost, the Company may elect to provide benefits of a substantially similar nature which avoids such adverse effects.

Section 7.Covenant Not to Compete.

(a)  During the Employee's service hereunder and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, regardless of the reason or method of termination, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, for the Employee's own benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity:

(i)solicit in any manner, seek to obtain, or service the business of any customer of the Company, other than for the Company;

(ii)become an owner of any business, if such business competes with the Company;

(iii)become employed by or serve as an agent, independent contractor or representative of any business which competes with the Company;

(iv)solicit the employment of or hire any employee of the Company, or encourage any employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company; or

(v)prepare in any manner to compete with the Company.

(b)  For purposes of this Agreement, a "customer" shall be deemed to be any person, business, partnership, proprietorship, firm, organization or corporation which has done business with the Company or which has been solicited or serviced in any manner, directly or indirectly, by the Company within eighteen (18) months prior to the date of the termination of the Employee, and the phrase "service the business of any customer" means the development, modification, enhancement or improvement of any product or service offered by the Company or which is reasonably related to the products or services offered by the Company.  The Employee hereby acknowledges that, by virtue of the Employee's position and access to information, the Employee will have advantageous familiarity and personal contacts with the Company's customers, wherever located, and that the restrictions contemplated hereby are reasonable for the protection of the Company's goodwill and customer base, and the Company's efforts in the development of such customers. 

(c)  If the Employee does not comply with the provisions of this Section 7, the six (6) month period of non-competition provided herein shall be tolled and deemed not to run during any period(s) of noncompliance, the intention of the parties being to provide six (6)  full months of non-competition by the Employee after the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 

Section 8.Covenant Not to Disclose Confidential Information.

(a)  The term "Confidential Information" as used herein shall mean any and all software programs, customer lists, trade secrets and information, know-how, skills, knowledge, ideas, knowledge of customer's commercial requirements, pricing methods, sales and marketing techniques, dealer relationships and agreements, financial information, intellectual property, codes, algorithms, research, development, research and development programs, processes, documentation, inventions, or devices used in or pertaining to the Company's business (i) which relate in any way to the Company's business, products or processes; or (ii) which are discovered, conceived, developed or reduced to practice by the Employee, either alone or with others either

3

(x) during the term of this Agreement; or (y) at the Company's expense; or (z) on the Company's premises or with the Company’s equipment.

(b)  During the course of his/her services hereunder, the Employee may become knowledgeable about, or become in possession of, Confidential Information.  If such Confidential Information were to be divulged or become known to any competitor of the Company or to any other person outside the employ of the Company, or if the Employee were to consent to be employed by any competitor of the Company or to engage in competition with the Company, the Company would be harmed.  In addition, the Employee has or may develop relationships with the Company's customers which could be used to solicit the business of such customers away from the Company.  The parties have entered into this Agreement to guard against such potential harm.

(c)  The Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the benefit of the Company or communicate, deliver, exhibit or provide any Confidential Information to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, organization or entity, except other employees or agents of the Company as required in the normal course of  the Employee's service as an employee or except as the President or any authorized officer of the Company may direct in writing.  The covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be binding upon the Employee during the term of this Agreement and following the termination hereof, for the shorter of the period until either (i) until such Confidential Information becomes obsolete; or  (ii) until such Confidential Information becomes generally known in the Company's trade or industry by means other than a breach of this covenant. 

(d)  The Employee agrees that all Confidential Information and all records, documents and materials relating to all of such Confidential Information, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

Section 9.Remedies.

(a)  The Employee agrees that the Company will suffer irreparable damage and injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of any breach by the Employee of any provision of Sections 7 or 8 hereof.  Accordingly, in the event of a breach or of a threatened or attempted breach by the Employee of Sections 7 or 8 hereof, in addition to all other remedies to which the Company is entitled under law, in equity, or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction (without the necessity of showing any actual damage) or a decree of specific performance of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof and no bond or other security shall be required in that connection.  The Company shall be entitled to recover from the Employee, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any action wherein the Company successfully enforces the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof against the breach or threatened breach of those provisions by the Employee. 

(b)The Employee acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, the Employee can obtain other engagements or employment of a kind and nature similar to that contemplated herein and that the issuance of an injunction to enforce the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof will not prevent the Employee from earning a livelihood. 

4

(c)The covenants on the part of the Employee contained in Sections 7 or 8 hereof are essential terms and conditions to the Company entering into this Agreement, and shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement.  The existence of any claim or cause of action the Employee has against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of these covenants.

Interest income, net was $833,000, $772,000, and  $434,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

FASB ASC 820, as amended, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; 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 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in active markets include money market securities. Such instruments areclassified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company invests in money market funds that are traded daily and does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in less active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include corporate notes, agency bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and international government bonds. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses consensus pricing, which is based on multiple pricing sources, to value its fixed income investments. 

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s financial assets, classified as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management reevaluates these estimates including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, research and development, legal, goodwill and intangible assets, other assets and accounting for income taxes. Despite management’s best effort to establish good faith estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassification and Adjustments

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company reclassified certain expenses which were included in cost of services in prior periods to sales and marketing expenses. In prior years, these costs were not significant; however, as these costs have continued to increase in line with the Company’s growth strategy, the Company concluded that it is appropriate to report these expenses as sales and marketing. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $1.8 million has been reclassified to sales and marketing expenses based on this new expense presentation. The reclassification did not have any impact on the overall results previously reported.  

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified liabilities related to straight-line rent accruals which were included in accrued liabilities to other long-term liabilities. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, $3.4 million has been reclassified to other long-term liabilities. This reclassification did not have a material impact on the overall results previously reported.

Revenue Recognition

The Company reports three types of revenues: product revenues, recurring revenues, and services revenues. Product revenues are generated from licensing the right to use its software solutions on-premises, and in certain instances, selling hardware as a component of the solution. Recurring revenues are generated by annual support fees from on-premises license agreements and fees from the Company’s cloud offerings. Services revenues are generated primarily from professional services and educational services. Revenues are generated by direct sales with customers and by indirect sales through a partner channel.

Product Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s license agreements are perpetual.  For any revenues to be recognized from a license agreement, the following criteria must be met:

· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

· The fee is fixed or determinable;

· Collection is probable; and

· Delivery has occurred.

For a perpetual license agreement, upon meeting the revenue recognition criteria above, the Company immediately recognizes as product revenues the residual amount of the total contract fees if sufficient vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to support allocating a portion of the total fee to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. If sufficient VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements does not exist, the Company recognizes the initial license fee as product revenues ratably over the initial term of the support agreement once support is the only undelivered element. The support period is generally 12 months but may be up to 18 months for initial orders because support begins when the licenses are downloaded, when support commences, or no more than six months following the contract date. If the contract includes prepaid support, the support period may be up to 36 months. The Company determines VSOE of fair value for support in on-premises agreements based on substantive renewal rates the customer must pay to renew the support. The VSOE of fair value for other services is based on amounts charged when the services are sold in stand-alone sales.

The Company sells hardware manufactured by third parties, which does not contain the Company’s software, and certain appliances, including the Interaction Gateway and the Interaction Media Server, which combine third-party hardware and the Company’s Interaction Gateway or Interaction Media Server software. These appliances are not pre-loaded with the Company’s Customer Interaction Center (“CIC”) software and the Company does not require its customers to purchase these items directly from them. The Company’s CIC software will still function properly on hardware, gateways or media servers purchased from other vendors. Although the appliances mentioned above are a combination of hardware and software, the software does not primarily work together with the hardware to provide the hardware’s essential functionality. In addition, the Interaction Media Server software can be purchased separately and loaded onto other media servers the customer already owns or purchased from another vendor. The Company recognizes revenues related to hardware sales when the hardware is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Contracts that contain both software and hardware are reviewed to allocate the deliverables into separate units of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements. The units of accounting fall into one of two categories:  software or non-software related products.  FASB ASC 605-25 is used to allocate the fair value of each.

Recurring Revenues

The Company generates recurring revenues from its cloud offerings and annual support fees. For cloud contracts, customers pay a minimum monthly fee to use a specified number of software licenses, plus any overages over the minimum. Customers are billed the greater of their minimum monthly fee or actual usage, and revenue is recognized monthly as the service is delivered. The total contract fee also includes an implementation fee, which is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

The Company recognizes annual support fees as recurring revenues ratably over the post-contract support period, which is typically 12 months, but may extend up to three years if prepaid.

Services Revenues

The Company generates revenues from other services that it provides to its customers and partners including fees for professional services and educational services. Revenues from professional services, which include implementing the Company’s solutions, and educational services, which consist of training courses for customers and partners, are recognized as the related services are performed.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company estimates bad debt expense based on a percentage of revenue reported and a detailed analysis of receivables each period.  The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of its accounts receivable. In the analysis, the Company primarily considers the age of the customer’s or partner’s receivable and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer or partner, the economic conditions of the customer’s or partner’s industry, and general economic conditions, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of its future allowance for doubtful accounts.

If payment is not made timely, the Company will contact the customer or partner to try to obtain the payment. If this is not successful, the Company will institute other collection practices such as generating collection letters, charging interest, involving sales personnel and ultimately terminating the customer’s or partner’s access to future upgrades, licenses and technical support. Once all collection efforts are exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with financial institutions and high quality money market instruments.

Investments

The Company’s investments, which consist primarily of taxable corporate and government debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and recorded as a separate component of equity until realized. Premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of securities below cost judged to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income when earned.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life. The Company leases its office space under operating lease agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (“FASB ASC 840”), for operating leases with escalating rent payments, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360,  Property, Plant and Equipment, certain of the Company’s assets, such as property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”). This guidance requires us to perform the goodwill impairment analysis annually or when a change in facts and circumstances indicates that the fair value of an asset may be below its carrying amount.

Prior to its annual 2013 goodwill impairment test, the Company had one reporting unit as defined by FASB ASC 350. Beginning in 2013, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development assumed responsibility for overall operational and financial performance of Global Software Services, Inc., doing business asLatitude Software (“Latitude”)and Bay Bridge Decision Technologies, Inc. (“Bay Bridge”). In addition, these two entities are evaluated separately from the remainder of the company. As a result, the Company identified three reporting units for the purpose of our annual 2013 goodwill impairment analysis:  Interactive Intelligence, Latitude, and Bay Bridge. Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform.

Additionally, the Company has identifiable intangible assets such as intellectual property trademarks and patents which are amortized over a 10 to 15 year period using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology and non-compete agreements are amortized over a 5 to 18 year period using the straight-line method. The Company determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests  were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.

Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 985, Software, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.

During 2013, the Company continued to invest in its next generation cloud communication platform.  This platformwill be the first solution offered solely as a cloud service, with no on-premises option. The expenses incurred for this new platform result from internal activity with no intent for external sale. As a result, the Company capitalized approximately $3.6 million of internal use software expenses relating to its next generation cloud communication platform during 2013.  Research and development expense for 2013 (after capitalization), 2012 and 2011 was $50.4 million, $45.7 million and $35.6 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based payment awards. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and an expected risk-free rate of return. If factors change and the Company uses different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in future periods, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

The Company records compensation expense for share-based awards using the straight-line method, which is recorded into earnings over the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for employee and director stock options and restricted stock units recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $9.2 million, $6.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. See Note 6 for further information on the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their respective fair market values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The fair values of short-term  and long-term investments are valued in accordance withFASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”), establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income prior to the period in which temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $5.3 million in tax credit carryforwards recorded as deferred tax assets as well as a valuation allowance of $135,000. The Company will continue to evaluate the valuation of deferred tax assets in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 740. See Note 9 for further information on the Company’s income taxes.

The revenue from sales tax collected from customers is recorded on a net basis.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of diluted net income per share excludes shares underlying stock options outstanding that would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Net income, as reported (A)	$	9,515	$	906	$	14,798
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (B)		20,033		19,241		18,714
Dilutive effect of employee stock options		1,055		921		1,171
Common stock and common stock equivalents (C)		21,088		20,162		19,885
Net income per share:
Basic (A/B)	$	0.47	$	0.05	$	0.79
Diluted (A/C)		0.45		0.04		0.74

Anti-dilutive shares not included in the diluted per share calculation for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were 197,000,  726,000 and 305,000, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income (loss).

Legal Proceedings

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs related to itsnext generation cloud communication platform and certain projects for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software.  Once a solution has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.  The capitalization of costs ceases upon completion of all substantial testing.  Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development, maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.  During the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $3.6 million of year-to-date costs related to the development of its next generation cloud communication platform.  The Company will continue to capitalize development costs related to this project and will begin amortizing such costs once the software is ready for production. 

Additionally, in 2013, the Company purchased several new business systems to meet its internal business needs and the Company has no substantive plans to market such software externally. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $2.5 million of costs associated with development and implementation of these systems.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management reevaluates these estimates including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, research and development, legal, goodwill and intangible assets, other assets and accounting for income taxes. Despite management’s best effort to establish good faith estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Reclassification and Adjustments

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company reclassified certain expenses which were included in cost of services in prior periods to sales and marketing expenses. In prior years, these costs were not significant; however, as these costs have continued to increase in line with the Company’s growth strategy, the Company concluded that it is appropriate to report these expenses as sales and marketing. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $1.8 million has been reclassified to sales and marketing expenses based on this new expense presentation. The reclassification did not have any impact on the overall results previously reported.  

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified liabilities related to straight-line rent accruals which were included in accrued liabilities to other long-term liabilities. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, $3.4 million has been reclassified to other long-term liabilities. This reclassification did not have a material impact on the overall results previously reported.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company reports three types of revenues: product revenues, recurring revenues, and services revenues. Product revenues are generated from licensing the right to use its software solutions on-premises, and in certain instances, selling hardware as a component of the solution. Recurring revenues are generated by annual support fees from on-premises license agreements and fees from the Company’s cloud offerings. Services revenues are generated primarily from professional services and educational services. Revenues are generated by direct sales with customers and by indirect sales through a partner channel.

Product Revenue

Product Revenues

Substantially all of the Company’s license agreements are perpetual.  For any revenues to be recognized from a license agreement, the following criteria must be met:

· Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

· The fee is fixed or determinable;

· Collection is probable; and

· Delivery has occurred.

For a perpetual license agreement, upon meeting the revenue recognition criteria above, the Company immediately recognizes as product revenues the residual amount of the total contract fees if sufficient vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists to support allocating a portion of the total fee to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. If sufficient VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements does not exist, the Company recognizes the initial license fee as product revenues ratably over the initial term of the support agreement once support is the only undelivered element. The support period is generally 12 months but may be up to 18 months for initial orders because support begins when the licenses are downloaded, when support commences, or no more than six months following the contract date. If the contract includes prepaid support, the support period may be up to 36 months. The Company determines VSOE of fair value for support in on-premises agreements based on substantive renewal rates the customer must pay to renew the support. The VSOE of fair value for other services is based on amounts charged when the services are sold in stand-alone sales.

The Company sells hardware manufactured by third parties, which does not contain the Company’s software, and certain appliances, including the Interaction Gateway and the Interaction Media Server, which combine third-party hardware and the Company’s Interaction Gateway or Interaction Media Server software. These appliances are not pre-loaded with the Company’s Customer Interaction Center (“CIC”) software and the Company does not require its customers to purchase these items directly from them. The Company’s CIC software will still function properly on hardware, gateways or media servers purchased from other vendors. Although the appliances mentioned above are a combination of hardware and software, the software does not primarily work together with the hardware to provide the hardware’s essential functionality. In addition, the Interaction Media Server software can be purchased separately and loaded onto other media servers the customer already owns or purchased from another vendor. The Company recognizes revenues related to hardware sales when the hardware is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Contracts that contain both software and hardware are reviewed to allocate the deliverables into separate units of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements. The units of accounting fall into one of two categories:  software or non-software related products.  FASB ASC 605-25 is used to allocate the fair value of each.

Recurring Revenues

Recurring Revenues

The Company generates recurring revenues from its cloud offerings and annual support fees. For cloud contracts, customers pay a minimum monthly fee to use a specified number of software licenses, plus any overages over the minimum. Customers are billed the greater of their minimum monthly fee or actual usage, and revenue is recognized monthly as the service is delivered. The total contract fee also includes an implementation fee, which is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

The Company recognizes annual support fees as recurring revenues ratably over the post-contract support period, which is typically 12 months, but may extend up to three years if prepaid.

Service Revenues

Services Revenues

The Company generates revenues from other services that it provides to its customers and partners including fees for professional services and educational services. Revenues from professional services, which include implementing the Company’s solutions, and educational services, which consist of training courses for customers and partners, are recognized as the related services are performed

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company estimates bad debt expense based on a percentage of revenue reported and a detailed analysis of receivables each period.  The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of its accounts receivable. In the analysis, the Company primarily considers the age of the customer’s or partner’s receivable and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer or partner, the economic conditions of the customer’s or partner’s industry, and general economic conditions, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of its future allowance for doubtful accounts.

If payment is not made timely, the Company will contact the customer or partner to try to obtain the payment. If this is not successful, the Company will institute other collection practices such as generating collection letters, charging interest, involving sales personnel and ultimately terminating the customer’s or partner’s access to future upgrades, licenses and technical support. Once all collection efforts are exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with financial institutions and high quality money market instruments.

Investments

Investments

The Company’s investments, which consist primarily of taxable corporate and government debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and recorded as a separate component of equity until realized. Premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of securities below cost judged to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income when earned.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life. The Company leases its office space under operating lease agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (“FASB ASC 840”), for operating leases with escalating rent payments, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360,  Property, Plant and Equipment, certain of the Company’s assets, such as property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”). This guidance requires us to perform the goodwill impairment analysis annually or when a change in facts and circumstances indicates that the fair value of an asset may be below its carrying amount.

Prior to its annual 2013 goodwill impairment test, the Company had one reporting unit as defined by FASB ASC 350. Beginning in 2013, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development assumed responsibility for overall operational and financial performance of Global Software Services, Inc., doing business asLatitude Software (“Latitude”)and Bay Bridge Decision Technologies, Inc. (“Bay Bridge”). In addition, these two entities are evaluated separately from the remainder of the company. As a result, the Company identified three reporting units for the purpose of our annual 2013 goodwill impairment analysis:  Interactive Intelligence, Latitude, and Bay Bridge. Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform.

Additionally, the Company has identifiable intangible assets such as intellectual property trademarks and patents which are amortized over a 10 to 15 year period using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets, such as customer relationships, core technology and non-compete agreements are amortized over a 5 to 18 year period using the straight-line method. The Company determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests  were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.

Advertising

Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. FASB ASC Topic 985, Software, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release has been insignificant.

During 2013, the Company continued to invest in its next generation cloud communication platform.  This platformwill be the first solution offered solely as a cloud service, with no on-premises option. The expenses incurred for this new platform result from internal activity with no intent for external sale. As a result, the Company capitalized approximately $3.6 million of internal use software expenses relating to its next generation cloud communication platform during 2013.  Research and development expense for 2013 (after capitalization), 2012 and 2011 was $50.4 million, $45.7 million and $35.6 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC 718”), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based payment awards. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and an expected risk-free rate of return. If factors change and the Company uses different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in future periods, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

The Company records compensation expense for share-based awards using the straight-line method, which is recorded into earnings over the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for employee and director stock options and restricted stock units recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $9.2 million, $6.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. See Note 6 for further information on the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their respective fair market values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The fair values of short-term  and long-term investments are valued in accordance withFASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”).

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”), establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income prior to the period in which temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $5.3 million in tax credit carryforwards recorded as deferred tax assets as well as a valuation allowance of $135,000. The Company will continue to evaluate the valuation of deferred tax assets in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 740. See Note 9 for further information on the Company’s income taxes.

The revenue from sales tax collected from customers is recorded on a net basis.

Net Income per Share

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares. When the Company reports net income, the calculation of diluted net income per share excludes shares underlying stock options outstanding that would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares are composed of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Net income, as reported (A)	$	9,515	$	906	$	14,798
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding (B)		20,033		19,241		18,714
Dilutive effect of employee stock options		1,055		921		1,171
Common stock and common stock equivalents (C)		21,088		20,162		19,885
Net income per share:
Basic (A/B)	$	0.47	$	0.05	$	0.79
Diluted (A/C)		0.45		0.04		0.74

Anti-dilutive shares not included in the diluted per share calculation for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were 197,000,  726,000 and 305,000, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company reports unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income (loss).

Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Internal Use Software

Internal Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs related to itsnext generation cloud communication platform and certain projects for internal use in accordance with FASB ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software.  Once a solution has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.  The capitalization of costs ceases upon completion of all substantial testing.  Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development, maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.  During the year-ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $3.6 million of year-to-date costs related to the development of its next generation cloud communication platform.  The Company will continue to capitalize development costs related to this project and will begin amortizing such costs once the software is ready for production. 

Additionally, in 2013, the Company purchased several new business systems to meet its internal business needs and the Company has no substantive plans to market such software externally. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $2.5 million of costs associated with development and implementation of these systems

Commitments and Contingencies

11.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has received notification from competitors and other technology providers claiming that the Company’s technology infringes their proprietary rights. The Company cannot assure you that these matters can be resolved amicably without litigation, or that the Company will be able to enter into licensing arrangements on terms and conditions that would not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is also involved in certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of conducting its business. While the ultimate liability pursuant to these actions cannot currently be determined, the Company believes these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. Litigation in general, and intellectual property litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict.

Guarantees

The Company provides indemnifications of varying scope and amount to certain customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its solutions.  The Company’s direct software license agreements include certain provisions for indemnifying customers, in material compliance with their license agreement, against liabilities if the Company’s software products infringe upon a third party's intellectual property rights, over the life of the agreement. There is no maximum potential amount of future payments set under the guarantee. However, the typical arrangement states that the Company may at any time and at its option and expense:  (i) procure the right of the customer to continue to use the Company’s software that may infringe a third party’s rights; (ii) modify its software so as to avoid infringement; or (iii) require the customer to return its software and refund the customer the fee actually paid by the customer for its software less depreciation based on a five-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The customer’s failure to provide timely notice or reasonable assistance will relieve the Company of its obligations under this indemnification to the extent that it has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

Amtel Acquisition

On April 1, 2013, the Company closed its acquisition of certain assets of a New Zealand reseller, Amtel Communications, Ltd. (“Amtel”). Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company purchased contact center assets of Amtel for approximately $725,000, funded with cash-on-hand. The Company purchased Amtel’s customer support agreements as a continued part of its growth strategy, which increases the Company’s presence internationally, gives local customers direct access to expanded support services and paves the way for a launch of cloud-based communications services in New Zealand. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“FASB ASC 805”). The results of Amtel’s operations related to the acquired assets were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

The purchase price allocations for the Amtel transactionwere prepared by the Company’s management utilizing a third-party valuation report, which was prepared in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 805, and other tools available to the Company, including conversations with Amtel’s management and historical data from the Company’s other acquisitions. The following table summarizes the fair value of the intangible and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

	2013
Intangible assets, net	$	564
Goodwill		296
Total assets acquired		860
Deferred services revenues		(135)
Net assets acquired	$	725

Professional fees recognized as of December 31, 2013 totaled approximately $21,000 and included transaction costs such as legal, accounting, and valuation services, which were expensed as incurred. These costs are included within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The premium paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the purchase, or goodwill, was primarily attributed to Amtel’s existing client base. Included within goodwill is the assembled workforce, comprised offiveemployees, which does not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following table presents a roll forward of goodwill as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	38,723
Amtel goodwill		296
Foreign currency adjustment		(1,721)
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	37,298

Prior toits annual 2013 goodwill impairment test,the Company had one reporting unit as defined by FASB ASC 350.Beginning in 2013, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development assumed responsibility for overall operational and financial performance of Latitude and Bay Bridge. In addition, these two entities are evaluated separately from the remainder of the company. As a result, the Company identified three reporting units for the purpose of our annual 2013 goodwill impairment analysis:  Interactive Intelligence, Latitude, and Bay Bridge. Based on the review of the qualitative events and circumstances outlined in FASB ASU 2011-08, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, and the two-step process of the goodwill impairment test was not necessary to perform. The Company determined no indication of impairment existed as of December 31, 2013 when the annual impairment tests were performed for goodwill and intangible assets.

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

The Company’s stock option plans, adopted in 1995, 1999 and 2006, authorize the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, as applicable, to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, and, in the case of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and as assumed by Interactive Intelligence (the “2006 Plan”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. After adoption of the 2006 Plan by the Company’s shareholders in May 2006, the Company may no longer make any grants under previous plans, but any shares subject to awards under the 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “1999 Plans”) that are cancelled are added to shares available under the 2006 Plan. At the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 22, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2006 plan which increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan by 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 9,050,933 shares are available for delivery under the 2006 Plan, which consists of (i) 5,350,000 shares, plus (ii) 320,000 shares available for issuance under the 1999 Plans, but not underlying any outstanding stock options or other awards under the 1999 Plans, plus (iii) up to 3,380,933 shares subject to outstanding stock options or other awards under the 1999 Plans that expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised on or after May 18, 2006. The number of shares available under the 2006 Plan is subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capital structure. The exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 there were 2,338,146,  753,883 and 1,292,851 shares of stock, respectively, available for issuance for equity compensation awards under the 2006 Plan.  

The Company grants RSUs and three types of stock options. The first type of stock option is non-performance-based subject only to time-based vesting, and these stock options are granted by the Company as annual grants to executives, to certain new employees and to newly-elected non-employee directors.  These stock options vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date.  The fair value of these option grants is determined on the date of grant and the related compensation expense is recognized for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The second type of stock option granted by the Company is performance-based subject to cancellation if the specified performance targets are not met. If the applicable performance targets have been achieved, the options will vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the performance-related period has ended.  The fair value of these stock option grants is determined on the date of grant and the related compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, including the initial period for which the specified performance targets must be met.

The third type of stock option granted by the Company is director options granted to non-employee directors annually. These options are similar to the non-performance-based options described above except that the director options vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of these option grants is determined on the date of the grant and the related compensation expense is recognized over one year. These director options are generally granted at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders during the second quarter of each fiscal year.

The Company grants RSUs to certain key employees, executives and certain new employees. The fair value of the RSUs is determined on the date of grant and the RSUs vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. RSUs are not included in issued and outstanding common stock until the shares are vested and settlement has occurred.

The plans may be terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense Information

The following table summarizes the allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and RSUs under FASB ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Stock-based compensation expense by category:
Costs of recurring revenues	$	806	$	523	$	429
Costs of services revenues		245		147		94
Sales and marketing		3,109		2,250		1,677
Research and development		2,733		1,886		1,570
General and administrative		2,354		1,871		1,528
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	9,247	$	6,677	$	5,298
Effect of stock-based compensation expense on net income per share:
Basic	$	(0.46)	$	(0.35)	$	(0.28)
Diluted		(0.44)		(0.33)		(0.27)

At each quarter end, the Company evaluates the probability that the performance awards granted during the year will be forfeited at year-end for non-performance and reverses the associated expense recorded in previous periods. During the fourth quarter of 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company reversed stock option expense recorded in previous periods associated with these options totaling $128,000 in 2013, $54,000 in 2012 and $69,000 in 2011. After taking into account the options that were cancelled during 2013, 2012 and 2011, the estimated total grant date fair value, not accounting for estimated forfeitures, is as follows (in thousands):

	Number of Options Granted	Number of Options Cancelled		Grant Date Fair Value
Year:
2013	275	46	$	4,521
2012	416	21		4,896
2011	370	46		5,655

As required by FASB ASC 718, management has made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation expense only for those stock awards expected to vest. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company estimated that the total stock-based compensation expense for the awards not expected to vest was $214,000, with such amounts deducted to arrive at the fair value of $4.3 million.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company re-evaluated the expected life of its stock options by reviewing the exercise, expiration and termination patterns of three classes of option holders. Based on the results of this analysis, the expected life for stock options issued in 2013 did not change from prior years; however, the expected life of certain types of stock options issued in the future may change.

Non-performance-based options are typically granted throughout the year to newly-elected non-employee directors and newly-hired employees of the Company, and are granted annually to management. Performance-based options are only granted to sales and marketing employees during the first quarter of each year and annual option grants to non-employee directors only occur during the second quarter of each year. The weighted-average estimated per option value of non-performance-based, performance-based and director options granted under the 2006 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $17.99,  $12.21 and $16.18, respectively, using the following assumptions:

	Years Ended December 31,
Valuation assumptions for non-performance-based options :	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	54.36 - 54.44	%	59.04 - 64.70	%	62.42 - 64.68	%

Expected life of option (in years)	4.25		4.25		4.25

Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	57.56	%	63.23	%	65.55	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.73	%	0.79	%	1.97	%
Expected life of option (in years)	4.75		4.75		4.75
	Years Ended December 31,
Valuation assumptions for annual director options:	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	-	%	-	%	-	%
Expected volatility	49.33	%	57.10	%	64.38	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.54	%	0.49	%	0.93	%
Expected life of option (in years)	3.50		3.50		3.50

Expected Dividend: The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Expected Volatility: The Company’s volatility factor was based exclusively on its historical stock prices over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options.

Risk-Free Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term commensurate with the estimated expected life of the stock options.

Expected Term:The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and was determined using the simplified method as described in FASB ASC 718 for the Company's plain-vanilla options. The Company chose to use the simplified method given the lack of historical data for the current expiration term of six years and the non-employee director options that fully vest in one year. FASB ASC 718 permits the continued use of this method after December 31, 2007 if the Company does not believe it has sufficient historical data to support another method.  The Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate an expected term for its performance-based options and therefore uses 4.75 years, the same life as the plain-vanilla options but adjusted for the performance-based options having an additional year life.  The earned performance-based options accounted for 7%,  8%, and 5% of total options granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Estimated Pre-vesting Forfeitures: The Company includes an estimate for forfeitures in calculating stock option expense. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers historical termination behavior as well as any future trends it expects.

For most options granted through December 31, 2004, the term of each option is ten years from the date of grant. In 2005, the Company began issuing options with a term of six years from the date of grant.

If an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who, at the time the option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of the option may not be less than 110% of the market value per share on the date the option is granted and the term of the option shall be not more than five years from the date of grant.

RSUs are valued using the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis taking into account an estimated forfeiture rate.

2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2000 Purchase Plan”). A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan. In May 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2000 Purchase Plan that increased the number of shares of common stock available for purchase and issuance to 750,000. The 2000 Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock through periodic payroll deductions of up to 20% of their total compensation up to a maximum of $1,000 per pay period. The price at which the Company’s common stock may be purchased is 95% of the fair market value of the Company’s closing common stock price, as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on the last business day of the quarter. The actual purchase date is generally on the first business day of the next calendar quarter. An employee may set aside up to $25,000 to purchase shares annually. The initial offering period commenced on April 1, 2000. A total of 19,002 shares, 25,644 shares and 16,912 shares were purchased and issued during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under the 2000 Purchase Plan at an average price of $44.02, $26.50 and $30.16, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, there were 88,728 shares available for purchase and issuance under the 2000 Purchase Plan.

The 2000 Purchase Plan was modified, as of January 1, 2006, to ensure that it was considered non-compensatory under FASB ASC 718. As a result, the Company has not recognized any stock-based compensation expense related to its 2000 Purchase Plan.

Derivatives [Abstract]

Derivatives

13.DERIVATIVES

The Company enters into derivative contracts to mitigate its foreign currency risk associated with transacting business internationally.  The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the revaluation exposure of its net monetary assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain intercompany payables and receivables.  These hedges are undesignated and all realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as incurred within other income (expense) on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  The objective is to offset the gains and losses on the underlying exposures with the gains and losses from the forward contracts.  The Company’s hedging policy prohibits entering into hedge contracts that are speculative in nature.

The Company records the fair value of its outstanding hedge contracts in other current assets and accrued liabilities depending upon the market value of the forward contracts at each balance sheet date.  The following table summarizes the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s outstanding currency contracts at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Net deferred tax assets	$	21,296	$	16,501	$	7,264

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the periods in which those temporary differences such as loss carryforwards and tax credits expire. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, if any (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The following table sets forth the items accounting for the difference between expected income tax expense compared to actual income tax expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
Expected income tax expense at 35% tax rate	$	4,580	$	583	$	7,870

Tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $13.5 million, $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The Company did not have a deferred tax asset on its balance sheet for the tax benefits from these deductions. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $5.3 million of foreign tax credits and federal and state research tax credit carryforwards available to offset taxes payable.

The Company and its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. During the second quarter of 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an audit of the Company’s 2010 and 2011 income tax returns. The IRS concluded its audit in the fourth quarter of 2013. Tax years 2012 and forward remain open for examination for federal tax purposes and tax years 2009 and forward remain open for examination for the Company’s more significant state tax jurisdictions. To the extent utilized in future years’ tax returns, net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2013 will remain subject to examination until the respective tax year is closed.

Historically, the impact of foreign effective income tax rates on the Company’s overall effective income tax rates had been immaterial due to the fact that the Company used a cost plus basis method for calculating taxes in most foreign tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A cost plus basis method limits the taxes paid in these foreign jurisdictions to a markup of the costs that the Company incurs in these jurisdictions and is not tied to the actual revenues generated. A cost plus basis method also guarantees the foreign subsidiaries operating income whereas foreign subsidiary resellers are not guaranteed a profit margin. However, due to the Company switching most of its existing foreign subsidiaries from cost plus to resellers entities, the foreign effective tax rate could become material in future years. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the recorded foreign tax expense (benefit) and the related effect on the income tax rates were $6.8 million, or 190%, ($2.9 million), or(376%), and $18,000, or 0.23%, respectively.  

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company has identified uncertain tax positions related to certain tax credits and certain state income tax apportionment that the Company currently believes meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold to be sustained upon examination. The balance of the reserve was approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company accounts for uncertain income taxes under FASB ASC 740. The Company recognizes financial statement benefits for positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	2013		2012
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at Beginning of Year	$	2,131	$	1,645
Increase in balance due to current year tax position		461		283
(Decrease) increase in balance due to prior year tax position		(505)		147
Increase on balance due to acquisitions		-		56
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at End of Year	$	2,087	$	2,131

If recognized, the entire remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate. We recognize interest income, interest expense, and penalties relating to tax exposures as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $56,000 of interest expense and penalties related to the above unrecognized tax benefits.

Retirement Savings Plan [Abstract]

Retirement Savings Plan

8.RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement benefits for substantially all of its North American employees. Participants in the Plan may elect to contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax annual compensation to the Plan, limited to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company, at its discretion, may also make annual contributions to the Plan.

Effective July 1, 2012, the Plan Administrator approved an amendment to the Plan Document to exclude temporary and leased employees from being able to participate in the Plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, subject to meeting specified operating targets, the Company matched up to 33% of the first 9% of a participant’s pre-tax compensation contributed to the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s performance resulted in a match for the full amount of $2.0 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s performance resulted in no match; however due to the Company’s high order growth performance, its Board of Directors granted a discretionary match for the maximum contributionof  $1.5 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s performance resulted in a match for the full amount of $1.3 million, which was contributed to the employees’ accounts in February of 2012.

For an eligible participant who has worked for the Company for less than four years at the time of the Company matching contribution, the contribution will vest in equal installments over four years based on the anniversary date of the participant’s employment. For an eligible participant who has worked for the Company for four or more years at the time of contribution, the contribution is 100% vested.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, if the Company reports non-GAAP net income, the Company anticipates matching up to 33% of the first 9% of a participant’s pre-tax compensation contributed to the Plan.

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it has the option to do so at any time subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Upon termination of the Plan, either full or partial, participants become fully vested in their entire account balances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

15.RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2012-02, Intangibles –   Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.   This updated guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the amended guidance, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The guidance applies to both public and non-public entities and is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and noted no material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2013, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in FASB ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 for all public and private organizations. The amendments require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance became effective for public entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and noted no material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In July 2013, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes.   This updated guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. This guidance does not require new recurring disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance during the first quarter of 2014 and does not expect that there will be a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Accounts Receivable And Concentration Of Credit Risk [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable And Concentration Of Credit Risk

4.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and partners on a periodic basis and generally does not require collateral. The Company records unbilled accounts receivable, which represents amounts recognized as revenues for invoices that have not yet been sent to customers. This balance fluctuates depending on the contractual billing milestones and work performed related to projects specified in the contract. When the work performed is ahead of the billing milestones related to a services engagement, unbilled accounts receivable will be recorded.  The balance of unbilled accounts receivable recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $6.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

No customer or partner accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues in 2013, 2012 or 2011 or for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s top five partners collectively represented 27% and 21% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

14.RELATED PARTY

The Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Donald E. Brown owns a controlling interest in OrgSpan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OrgSpan”), which provides cloud-based organizational directory services to its customers. Dr. Brown does not serve on the Board of Directors or as an officer of OrgSpan.  The Company has, and in the future may, enter into transactions with OrgSpan or its stockholders. If so, any such transactions will be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which OrgSpan subleases approximately 43%of the square footage of the Company’s leased office space in Durham, North Carolina. The term of the sublease commenced on April 15, 2013 and expires in one year, but OrgSpan has the option to extend the term for successive one-year periods during the 89-month term of the Company’s office lease. OrgSpan paid rentof approximately $66,500to the Company during the first year of the sublease and will pay rent of approximately $205,000to the Company in year two of the sublease, with the annual rent for any subsequent years increasing by approximately 3% each year. OrgSpan will also pay the Company its proportionate share of the operating expenses and an initial fee of approximately $2,100 per month for the usage of the furniture, fixtures and equipment in the subleased space.

The Company is currently utilizing certain OrgSpan products on a free trial basis for a one year term ending April 10, 2014.  Unless previously terminated, the agreement will thereafter automatically renew on a month to month basis, with fees to be mutually agreed.  In April 2013, the Company entered into a mutual referral fee arrangement with OrgSpan, pursuant to which referral commission fees will be paid between the two companies. In July 2013, the Company entered into a Cooperative Development Agreement with OrgSpan pursuant to which the companies are jointly developing a shared code base that will be used by the Company to better enable integration of the Company’s products with OrgSpan’s Bridge product.  The Bridge product facilitates communications and connections with third party systems.  The shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products will be used in or be components of the next generation cloudcommunication platformthe Company is currently developing.  The shared code base will be owned by OrgSpan and, subject to certain restrictions, OrgSpan may distribute the shared code base.  The Company will have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify and distribute the shared code base, subject to certain restrictions.  The Cooperative Development Agreement has a two year term, but may be terminated by either party at any time on 30 days’ notice or by OrgSpan for cause.  If terminated for cause or insolvency, the right of the breaching or insolvent party to distribute or license the shared code base terminates immediately.  A related Reseller Agreement provides the Company with a non-exclusive right to market and grant sublicenses to certain OrgSpan products, including the shared code base, in connection with our current products.  The Company will pay product-specific fees to OrgSpan in connection with resales. The Company is negotiating a separate distribution agreement with OrgSpan in connection with the next generation cloud communication platformthe Company is currently developing.   

These agreements and arrangements with OrgSpan have been approved by the Company’s Audit Committee based on the standards set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Sublease Agreement, mutual referral fee arrangement, Cooperative Development Agreement and Reseller Agreement were negotiated by the Company on an arms-length basis and were made on terms that the Audit Committee believes were no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.  In view of the unanticipated increased importance that the shared code base and certain other OrgSpan products are now playing in the development of the Company’s next generation cloud communication platform, the Audit Committee is reassessing the existing arrangements between the Company and OrgSpan.  As part of that reassessment, the Audit Committee is considering options, including purchasing OrgSpan or OrgSpan assets or amending the existing arrangements with OrgSpan, and has retained independent counsel to advise it.  Any such transaction or changes will be negotiated by the Audit Committee on an arms-length basis.
