The company specializes in market-leading point-of-sale, property management, inventory & procurement and mobile & wireless solutions that are designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency and enhance the guest experience.

Agilysys operates extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, with corporate services located in Alpharetta, GA, EMEA headquarters in Cheshire, UK, and APAC offices in Singapore and Hong Kong.Following the divestiture of the Technology Solutions Group in August 2011 and the Retail Solutions Group (RSG) in July 2013, Agilysys will operate as one operating segment and as a pure play software-driven solutions provider to the hospitality industry.  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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented (see Note 4). Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts consolidated with our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, fiscal 2013 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.Our unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared without audit. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made. Further, we have evaluated all significant events occurring subsequent to the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and through the filing of this Quarterly Report. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 14, 2013. |
