ON ASSIGNMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of On Assignment, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 ("2014 10-K").
The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the second quarter of 2014 has been reclassified to separate certain line items to conform to the current period presentation.
2. Accounting Standards Update
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 requires that deferred loan costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this new guidance as of June 30, 2015 and it is applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Our term loans balances are presented in the balance sheet net of unamortized deferred loan costs, and face value of the debt is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt").
3. Acquisitions
On June 5, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of MSCP V CC Parent, LLC, the holding company for Creative Circle, LLC (“Creative Circle”). Creative Circle, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, was purchased to expand the Company’s technical and creative staffing services. The purchase price consisted of $540.0 million cash (net of cash acquired and net working capital adjustments), $30.0 million of equity, and additional consideration of up to $30.0 million, if certain performance targets for 2015 are achieved. The consideration at closing was comprised of $540.9 million in cash (net of cash acquired and inclusive of $0.9 million net working capital adjustment), fair value of stock of $30.2 million (794,700 shares of the Company’s common stock), and estimated future contingent consideration of $17.1 million. Goodwill related to this acquisition totaled $361.7 million, of which $348.9 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Acquisition expenses of approximately $5.7 million were expensed in 2015 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"). The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included in the Apex Segment (see "Note 13. Segment Reporting"). The condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes Creative Circle revenues and operating income of $19.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
On April 14, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of LabResource B.V. ("LabResource") headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands for $12.7 million (12.0 million euros), net of cash acquired and net working capital adjustments. LabResource was purchased to expand the Company's life sciences staffing business in Europe. The consideration at closing was comprised of $11.9 million in cash (11.3 million euros), net of cash acquired and inclusive of $0.8 million (0.7 million euros) net working capital adjustment. Goodwill associated with this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition expenses of approximately $0.4 million were expensed in 2015 and are included in SG&A. The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included in the Oxford Segment (see "Note 13. Segment Reporting"). The condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes LabResource revenues and operating income $2.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Assets and liabilities of the acquired companies were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow method.
The Company's allocation for the purchase price of Creative Circle and LabResource remains incomplete with respect to opening net tangible assets, intangible assets, taxes and contingent consideration. Measurement period adjustments resulting from the finalization of the purchase price allocation will be recorded retrospectively to the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of contingent consideration for Creative Circle is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired business in accordance with the purchase agreement. There are numerous inputs for this valuation, which the Company will finalize during the measurement period. Significant changes are likely and will change the contingent consideration and the amount allocated to goodwill; refer to "Note 8. Fair Value Measurements" for further information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration and the level 3 rollforward disclosure.

(1) | The December 31, 2014 balances have been adjusted to reflect unamortized deferred loan costs attributable to term loans as a reduction of the related debt balances whereas they were previously included in other current assets and other non-current assets. This change in presentation was the result of early adopting ASU 2015-03. The December 31, 2014 balances for the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt are now reflected net of $0.8 million and $2.5 million of unamortized deferred loan costs, respectively.

(1) The favorable contracts intangible asset pertains to operating leases which are amortized as rent expense and incl uded in SG&A expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Expense associated with this favorable contracts intangible asset is not significant.
Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives was $7.0 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives was $11.8 million and $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

There w ere no triggerin g events that required an interim impairment analysis during the current period.
6. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

| June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Senior Secured Debt: |  |  |
$150 million revolving credit facility, due June 2020 | $ | 50,000 |  |  | $ | — |
$825 million Term B loan facility, due June 2022 | 800,000 |  |  | — |
$125 million revolving credit facility, repaid June 2015 | — |  |  | 76,000 |
Term A loan facility, repaid June 2015 | — |  |  | 158,813 |
Term B loan facility, repaid June 2015 | — |  |  | 180,312 |
Total face value | 850,000 |  |  | 415,125 |
Unamortized deferred loan costs | (19,915 | ) |  | (3,268 | )
| $ | 830,085 |  |  | $ | 411,857 |

On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into a new $975.0 million credit facility. The funds were used to repay the old credit facility and to fund the cash portion of the purchase of Creative Circle (see "Note 3. Acquisitions"). The new facility consists of (i) an $825.0 million
12

seven-year term B loan facility and (ii) a $150.0 million five-year revolving loan facility, including a $20.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. Under terms of the new facility, the Company has the ability to increase the loan facilities in a principal amount that is the greater of (i) $200.0 million and (ii) the amount that is equal to the greatest amount of additional debt that would not cause the pro forma leverage ratio to exceed 3.25:1.00, subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of specified conditions.
Borrowings under the term B loan bear interest at LIBOR (floor of 75 basis points), plus 3.0 percent and borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR (or the bank’s base rate) plus 0.75 to 2.5 percent depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.25 to 0.40 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate was 3.69 percent.
During the remainder of 2015, each of the next four years and thereafter, the Company will be required to make minimum payments as follows (in thousands):

2015 |  | $ | — |
2016 |  | — |
2017 |  | — |
2018 |  | 4,125 |
2019 |  | 8,250 |
Thereafter |  | 837,625 |
|  | $ | 850,000 |

The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments of loans under the new facility, subject to specified exceptions, from excess cash flow and with the proceeds of asset sales, debt issuances and specified other events.
The Company's obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by substantially all of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible property and by a pledge of all of the equity interests in its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries.
The credit facility includes various restrictive covenants, including, the maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA (4.50:1.00 as of June 30, 2015 decreasing to 3.25:1.00 on March 31, 2018). The credit facility also contains certain customary limitations including, among other terms and conditions, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, and declare dividends.
At June 30, 2015 the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants and had $96.3 million of borrowing available under the revolving credit facility.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company carries retention policies for its workers’ compensation liability. The workers' compensation loss reserves are determined based on claims filed and claims incurred but not reported. The Company accounts for claims incurred but not yet reported based on estimates derived from historical claims experience and current trends of industry data. Changes in estimates and actual payments for claims are recognized in the period that the estimates change or the payments are made. The workers' compensation loss reserves were approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million, net of anticipated insurance and indemnification recoveries of $13.7 million and $13.4 million, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Additionally, the Company has unused stand-by letters of credit outstanding to secure obligations for workers’ compensation claims with various insurance carriers. The stand-by letters of credit were $3.7 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Under terms of the acquisition agreements, the sellers of CyberCoders and Creative Circle are entitled to additional consideration if certain performance targets are met. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has potential future contingent consideratio n of $41.0 million through the end of 2015. Refer to "Note 8. Fair Value Measurements" for further information related to this contingent liability.
The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating leases, primarily related to its facilities and certain office equipment used in the ordinary course of business. The Company lea ses two properties own ed by related parties.
At June 30, 2015, through its acquisition of Creative Circle, the Company had $10.4 million of operating lease commitments, the last of which is scheduled to end in October 2020.
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an income tax reserve in other long-term liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million.
13

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the facts currently available, the Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
8. Fair Value Measurements
The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. Long-term debt recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015 was $830.1 million, (net of $19.9 million of unamortized deferred loan costs, see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt"). The f air value of the long-term debt at that same date was $855.5 million as determined using the quoted price technique, based on Level 2 inputs including the yields of comparable companies with similar credit characteristics.
Related to acquisitions, at June 30, 2015, the Company has obligations to pay up to $41.0 million of contingent consideration in cash, if certain future financial results are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration was determined using an expected present value technique. Expected cash flows were determined using the probability-weighted average of possible outcomes that would occur should certain financial metrics be reached. There is no market data available to use in valuing the contingent consideration, therefore, the Company developed its own assumptions related to the future financial performance of the businesses to evaluate the fair value of these liabilities. As such, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3. The liability for contingent consideration is established at the time of the acquisition and finalized by the end of the measurement period. Its fair value i s re-measured on a recurring basis with any changes (after the measurement period) included in SG&A. At June 30, 2015 this contingent consideration was determined to be $20.6 million and is presented within other current liabilities. At December 31, 2014 it was $3.0 million and was presented in other long term liabilities.
The reconciliation of contingent consideration liability measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, | June 30,
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Balance at beginning of period | $ | (3,000 | ) |  | $ | (3,000 | ) |  | $ | (3,000 | ) |  | $ | (3,667 | )
Additions for acquisitions | (17,100 | ) |  | — |  |  | (17,100 | ) |  | — |
Payments on contingent consideration | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 691 |
Fair value adjustment | (512 | ) |  | — |  |  | (512 | ) |  | — |
Foreign currency translation adjustment | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | (24 | )
Balance at end of period | $ | (20,612 | ) |  | $ | (3,000 | ) |  | $ | (20,612 | ) |  | $ | (3,000 | )

Certain assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no fair value adjustments were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
9. Stockholders' Equity
On January 16, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The authorization was effective on February 23, 2015 and continues for two years thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 43,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.6 million. All shares repurchased under this program were retired. This resulted in a reduction of $0.4 million in paid-in capital, and a reduction of $1.2 million in retained earnings. The Company also issued 794,700 shares of its common stock valued at $30.2 million in connection with the purchase of Creative Circle during the three months ended June 30, 2015, see "Note 3. Acquisitions."
The accumulated other comprehensive loss balance at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the activity during the six months ended June 30, 2015, consists primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments.
14

10. Stock-based compensation
On March 31, 2015, the Company issued 125,101 shares of common stock under the On Assignment 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP").
Compensation expense related to stock-based compensation, including the ESPP, was $5.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which $5.2 million was included in SG&A expense for 2015; and $3.9 million was included in SG&A expense and $0.2 million was included in income from discontinued operations for 2014 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Compensation expense related to stock-based compensation, including the ESPP, was $9.2 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively of which $9.2 million was included in SG&A expense for 2015; and $7.0 million was included in SG&A expense and $0.3 million was included in income from discontinued operations for 2014 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
11. Earnings Per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share | 51,978 |  |  | 54,372 |  |  | 51,749 |  |  | 54,239 |
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | 655 |  |  | 801 |  |  | 686 |  |  | 859 |
Number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share | 52,633 |  |  | 55,173 |  |  | 52,435 |  |  | 55,098 |

The amount of anti-dilutive share equivalents outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were insignificant.
12. Income Taxes
For interim reporting periods, the Company prepares an estimate of the full-year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences or estimated level of annual pre-tax income can impact the Company’s actual effective rate.
13. Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable segments: Apex and Oxford.
The Apex Segment has historically provided information technology and scientific staffing professionals for contract, contract-to-hire and permanent placement positions to Fortune 1000 and mid-market clients across the United States. With the acquisition of Creative Circle on June 5, 2015 the Apex Segment also provides professionals with digital/creative skillsets. The Apex Segment also offers consulting services for select project-based needs. This segment provides staffing and services support to companies from all major industries, including financial services, business services, consumer and industrials, technology, government services, communications, advertising, and scientific.
The Oxford Segment provides high-end contract placement services of information technology and engineering professionals with expertise in specialized information technology, software and hardware engineering, and mechanical, electrical, validation, telecommunications engineering, laboratory and life sciences fields. The Oxford Segment also provides direct hire placement services of professionals across many different fields and functions; the majority of its placements are information technology, finance, accounting, sales, engineering, laboratory and scientific professionals. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, due to management changes, the Company realigned its former Life Sciences Europe Segment and it is now included in the Oxford Segment. All prior periods have been retrospectively restated to conform to the current presentation.
The Company’s management evaluates the performance of each segment primarily based on revenues, gross profit, and operating income. The information in the following tables is derived directly from the segments’ internal financial reporting used for corporate management purposes. The Company's management does not evaluate, manage or measure performance of segments using asset information, and such information is not readily available. Accordingly, assets by reportable segment are not disclosed. The following tables present revenues, gross profit, operating income and amortization by reportable segment (in thousands):

As described in "Note 4. Discontinued Operations," the Company sold its Physician Segment on February 1, 2015 and the results of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Physician Segment is not included in the tables above. Approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million of the previously reported Corporate costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, were specifically attributed to the Physician Segment and those costs are included in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as these costs are not reflective of ongoing operations.

OVERVIEW
On Assignment, Inc. is a leading global provider of highly skilled, hard-to-find professionals in the growing IT, engineering, digital/creative, and life sciences sectors, where quality people are the key to success. We go beyond matching résumés with job descriptions to match people we know into positions we understand, for contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire assignments.
The Apex Segment provides information technology, digital/creative and scientific staffing professionals for contract, contract-to-hire and permanent placement positions to Fortune 1000 and mid-market clients across the United States, and offers consulting services for other select project-based needs. Apex Segment provides staffing and services support for companies from all major industries, including financial services, business services, consumer and industrials, technology, government services, communications, advertising, and scientific.
The Oxford Segment provides high-end contract placement services of information technology and engineering professionals with expertise in specialized information technology, software and hardware engineering, and mechanical, electrical, validation, telecommunications engineering, laboratory and life sciences fields. The Oxford Segment also provides direct hire placement services of professionals across many different fields and functions; the majority of its placements are information technology, finance, accounting, sales, engineering, laboratory and scientific professionals. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company realigned its former Life Sciences Europe Segment and it is now included in the Oxford Segment. All prior periods have been retrospectively restated to conform to the current presentation.
Seasonality
Demand for our staffing services historically has been lower during the first and fourth quarters due to fewer business days resulting from client shutdowns, adverse weather conditions and a decline in the number of contract professionals willing to work during the holidays. Demand for our staffing services usually increases in the second and third quarters of the year. In addition, our cost of services typically increases in the first quarter primarily due to the reset of payroll taxes.
Acquisitions
On June 5, 2015 the Company completed its acquisition of Creative Circle for $570.0 million, and up to an additional $30.0 million based on operating performance during 2015. Creative Circle provides digital, marketing, advertising, and creative professionals to a wide range of companies and is included in the Apex Segment. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a $975.0 million credit facility. This new credit facility consists of a $150.0 million revolving credit facility and an $825.0 million term loan. Proceeds from the facility were used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and refinance the Company's existing debt.
On April 14, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of LabResource headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands for $12.7 million (12.0 million euros). LabResource provides staffing services in the chemical, food, pharmaceuticals, and life science sectors in the Netherlands. LabResource is included in the Oxford Segment.

Income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $1.5 million in the same period of 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital as of June 30, 2015 was $246.6 million and our cash and cash equivalents were $41.9 million, of which $6.2 million was held in foreign countries. Cash held in foreign countries is not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate cash held in foreign countries. Our operating cash flows and borrowings under our credit facilities have been our primary source of liquidity and have been sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure needs. Our working capital requirements consist primarily of the financing of accounts receivable, payroll expenses and debt service payments on our credit facilities. We believe that our working capital as of June 30, 2015, availability under our revolving credit facility and expected operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future debt obligations, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $25.0 million for the same period in 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was comprised of net income of $53.4 million and non-cash items of $37.3 million, reduced by the $25.7 million gain from the sale of the Physician Segment and $12.6 million year-over-year change in net operating assets. Net cash provided in operating activities in the same period in 2014 was comprised of net income of $34.7 million and non-cash items of $29.0 million, reduced by $38.7 million year-over-year change in net operating assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $451.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $9.2 million for the same period in 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the cash portion of our Creative Circle and LabResource acquisitions was $552.8 million, offset by the net proceeds from sale of the Physician Segment for $115.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $410.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $22.3 million used in financing activities for the same period in 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted primarily of $875.0 million proceeds from the new credit facility entered into on June 5, 2015, partially offset by $440.1 million in principal payments of long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities in the same period in 2014 consisted primarily of $122.6 million in principal payments of long-term debt, partially offset by proceeds of $99.5 million from new borrowings.
On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into a new $975.0 million credit facility. The funds were used to repay the old credit facility and to fund the cash portion of the purchase of Creative Circle (see "Note 3. Acquisitions"). The new facility consists of (i) an $825.0 million seven-year term B loan facility and (ii) a $150.0 million five-year revolving loan facility including a $20.0 million sublimit for letters of
21

credit. At the closing of the Creative Circle acquisition the outstanding balance was $875 million. The Company made a pre-payment on the term B loan of $25.0 million before June 30, 2015. The outstanding balance on the facility at June 30, 2015 was $850.0 million (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt"). The maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA steps down at regular intervals from 4.50 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2015, to 3.25 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2018 and thereafter. As of June 30, 2015, the leverage ratio was 3.51 to 1.00. Additionally, the credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets, provides for certain limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, offer loans, and declare dividends. As of June 30, 2015, we had $96.3 million of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 requires that deferred loan costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this new guidance as of June 30, 2015 and it is applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Our term loans balances are presented in the balance sheet net of unamortized deferred loan costs, and face value of the debt is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt").
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with those disclosed in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2014 10-K.
Commitments
In connection with certain acquisitions, we are subject to contingent consideration agreements. If the acquired businesses meet predetermined targets, we are obligated to make additional cash payments in accordance with the terms of such contingent consideration agreements. As of June 30, 2015, we have potential future contingent consideration of approximately $41.0 million through 2015.
Other than those described above, we have not entered into any significant commitments or contractual obligations that have not been previously disclosed in our 2014 10-K.
22

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, there have been no material changes to the information included in our 2014 10-K. We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of business, principally risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. We are exposed to foreign currency risk from the translation of foreign operations into U.S. dollars. Based on the relative size and nature of our foreign operations, we do not believe that a 10 percent change in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have a material impact on our financial statements. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt instruments. See the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further description of our debt instruments. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates on variable rate debt would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating approximately $8.5 million based on $850.0 million of debt outstanding for any 12-month period. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 – Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. However, based on the facts available, we do not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
Information regarding risk factors affecting our business is discussed in our 2014 10-K.
Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company issued 794,700 shares of its common stock to the holders of shares of Class A membership units and options to purchase units of Creative Circle. In issuing these shares, the Company relied on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
