Nature of Operations

We are a leading developer and marketer of proprietary enterprise software, services and solutions to the hospitality industry. We specialize in market-leading point-of-sale (POS), property management, inventory and procurement, workforce management and mobile and wireless solutions that are designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency and enhance the guest experience. Agilysys serves four major market sectors: Gaming, both corporate and tribal; Hotels, Resorts and Cruise; Foodservice Management; and Restaurants, Universities, Stadia and Healthcare. A significant portion of our consolidated revenue is derived from contract support, maintenance and subscription services.

Our principal executive offices are located at 425 Walnut Street, Suite 1800, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202; and our corporate services are located at 1000 Windward Concourse, Suite 250, Alpharetta, Georgia, 30005. We operate extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with additional sales and support offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

On March 31, 2014, we completed the sale of our United Kingdom business entity (UK entity) to Verteda Limited (Verteda), a U.K. based company. In connection with the sale, we have entered into a multi-year distribution agreement, whereby Verteda will distribute certain Agilysys products within the U.K. We will continue to manage all property management system accounts as well as key global accounts in the EMEA market. The sale of our UK entity represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of our UK entity have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the UK entity are classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

On July 1, 2013, we completed the sale of our Retail Solutions Group (RSG) business to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. In addition to the purchase agreement, we entered into a transition services agreement with Kyrus, under which we provided certain transitional administrative and support services to Kyrus through January 31, 2014. The sale of RSG represented a disposal of a component of an entity. As such, the operating results of RSG have been reported as a component of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. In addition, the assets and liabilities of RSG are classified as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

On June 10, 2013, we acquired the assets of TimeManagement Corporation, a privately-owned Minneapolis-based provider of enterprise-wide software and service solutions that streamline workforce management environments for hospitality operators.

Following the divestiture of RSG in July 2013, Agilysys operates as one operating segment, which includes corporate services.
