The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014 and the results of operations, equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014.

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to estimating uncollectible receivables, revenue recognition, costs capitalized for internally developed software, valuations and assumptions used for impairment testing of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, fair value of stock and stock options issued, fair value of contingent consideration, realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and assumptions used to allocate purchase prices in business combinations. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Other Income - On June 18, 2014, the Company reached an agreement with a vendor regarding the recovery of certain expenses the Company incurred in 2013.  Under the terms of the agreement, the vendor agreed to pay the Company $1,825. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $1,825 resulting from the agreement, which is included in “Other income” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Non-controlling Interest - Effective February 1, 2014, the Company formed Envestnet Retirement Solutions, LLC (“ERS, LLC”) with various third parties. ERS, LLC offers advisory and technology enabled services to financial advisors and retirement plans. In exchange for a 64.5% ownership interest in ERS, LLC, the Company contributed certain assets and has agreed to fund a certain amount of the operating expenses of ERS, LLC. As described in Note 3, due to the issuance of units related to the acquisition of Klein Decisions, Inc. (“Klein”) the Company’s ownership in ERS, LLC is 57% as of September 30, 2014.

 

The allocation of gains and losses to the members of ERS, LLC is based on a hypothetical liquidation book value method in accordance with the ERS, LLC operating agreement.  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, losses of $0 and $195, respectively, are reflected as non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements - On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
