Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Throughout these consolidated financial statements Concur Technologies, Inc. is referred to as “Concur,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our.” We report our operating results on the basis of a fiscal year that starts October 1 and ends September 30. We refer to our fiscal years ended September 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, as, “2010,” “2011,” “2012,” and “2013.” All dollar, option and share amounts are reported in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Description of the Company

We are a leading global provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions for companies of all industries and sizes worldwide. Our core mission is to continuously innovate to reduce the costs for our customers and enhance the user experience for travelers. Our easy-to-use cloud computing solutions help companies and their employees control costs, save time, and boost productivity by streamlining the expense management, travel procurement, itinerary management, and invoice management processes. By capturing and reporting on activity throughout the travel and expense management process, our solutions provide detailed information to help clients effectively negotiate with vendors, create budgets, and manage compliance. Our solutions adapt to individual employee preferences, while scaling to meet the needs of companies from small to large.

Concur, the Concur logo, TripIt and GlobalExpense, as well as a number of other names and brands that are not referenced in these consolidated financial statements, are trademarks or registered trademarks of Concur or its affiliates. Other parties’ marks are the property of their respective owners and should be treated as such.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Concur, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its controlled subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation. In 2011, we established a Japanese joint venture and hold a controlling interest (75% voting interest) in Concur (Japan) Ltd., (“Concur Japan”). We recorded a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for the noncontrolling investors’ interests in the operations of Concur Japan. Noncontrolling interest of $0.3 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012, respectively, is reflected in stockholders’ equity.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. In our opinion, we have included all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2012.
