Roper Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
June 30, 2014


1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Roper Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Roper" or the "Company") for all periods presented. The December 31, 2013 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") filed on February 21, 2014 with the Security and Exchange Commission ("SEC") but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Roper's management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with Roper's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") establishes changes to accounting principles under GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

In June 2014, the FASB issued updates to the accounting for stock compensation. These updates, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, modify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Company does not expect these updates to have an impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued updates on accounting and disclosures for revenue from contracts with customers. These updates, effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016, create a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The model is based on changes in contract assets (rights to receive consideration) and liabilities (obligations to provide a good or service). Revenue will be recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations, which occurs when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The Company is evaluating the impact of these updates on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share were calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the respective period. Potentially dilutive common stock consisted of stock options and the premium over the conversion price on Roper's senior subordinated convertible notes based upon the trading price of Roper's common stock. The effects of potential common stock were determined using the treasury stock method.  Weighted average shares outstanding are shown below (in thousands):
Three months ended June 30,

100,071

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 there were 749,666 and 770,665 outstanding stock options, respectively, that were not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share because doing so would have been antidilutive, as compared to 579,350 and 587,350 outstanding stock options, respectively, that would have been antidilutive for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 .

4. Stock Based Compensation
The Roper Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan is a stock-based compensation plan used to grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or equivalent instruments to Roper's employees, officers and directors.
Roper's stock purchase plan allows employees in the U.S. and Canada to designate up to 10% of eligible earnings to purchase Roper's common stock at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock at the beginning and end of a quarterly offering period. Common stock sold to employees may be either treasury stock, stock purchased on the open market, or newly issued shares.

The following table provides information regarding the Company's stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):

Stock Options - In the six months ended June 30, 2014, 568,500 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $35.17 per option. During the same period in 2013, 520,850 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $36.55 per option. All options were issued at grant date fair value, which is defined by the Plan as the closing price of Roper's common stock on the date of grant.
Roper records compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Historical data is used to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected dividend yield, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during current and prior year quarters using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Cash received from option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $23.7 million and $14.4 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Awards - During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 286,810 restricted stock awards were granted with a weighted average fair value of $139.83 per restricted share. During the same period in 2013, 346,390 restricted stock awards were granted with a weighted average fair value of $116.45 per restricted share. All grants were issued at grant date fair value.
During the six months ended ended June 30, 2014, 47,161 restricted awards vested with a weighted average grant date fair value of $92.89 per restricted share, and a weighted average vest date fair value of $139.75 per restricted share.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan - During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, participants of the employee stock purchase plan purchased 11,209 and 10,712 shares, respectively, of Roper's common stock for total consideration of $1.46 million and $1.25 million, respectively. All shares were purchased from Roper's treasury shares.

Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $75,534 and $69,773 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
An evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is required to be performed on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in circumstances which indicate an interim impairment review is required in 2014. The Company expects to perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter.

7. Debt
Roper's 3.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2034 became convertible on January 15, 2009.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 1,178 notes were converted by note holders for $2.1 million in cash.  No gain or loss was recorded upon these conversions.  In addition, a related $0.12 million deferred tax liability associated with excess deductions recorded for tax purposes was relieved to additional paid-in capital upon the conversions.
At June 30, 2014, the conversion price on the remaining outstanding notes was $484.00 per note.  If converted at June 30, 2014, the value would have exceeded the $8 million principal amount of the outstanding notes by $22 million and could have resulted in the issuance of 152,272 shares of Roper's common stock.
10
8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Roper's debt at June 30, 2014 included $2.2 billion of fixed-rate senior notes with the following fair values (in millions):
$400 million senior notes due 2017
$
403
$800 million senior notes due 2018
802
$500 million senior notes due 2019
584
$500 million senior notes due 2022
487

The fair values of the senior notes are based on the trading prices of the notes, which the Company has determined to be Level 2 in the FASB fair value hierarchy.  Short-term debt included $8 million of fixed-rate convertible notes which were at fair value due to the ability of note holders to exercise the conversion option of the notes.

9. Contingencies
Roper, in the ordinary course of business, is the subject of, or a party to, various pending or threatened legal actions, including product liability and employment practices. It is vigorously contesting all lawsuits that, in general, are based upon claims of the kind that have been customary over the past several years. After analyzing the Company's contingent liabilities on a gross basis and, based upon past experience with resolution of its product liability and employment practices claims and the limits of the primary, excess, and umbrella liability insurance coverages that are available with respect to pending claims, management believes that adequate provision has been made to cover any potential liability not covered by insurance, and that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these actions should not have a material adverse effect on Roper's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Over recent years there has been an increase in certain U.S. states in asbestos-related litigation claims against numerous industrial companies. Roper or its subsidiaries have been named defendants in some such cases. No significant resources have been required by Roper to respond to these cases and the Company believes it has valid defenses to such claims and, if required, intends to defend them vigorously. Given the state of these claims it is not possible to determine the potential liability, if any.

Roper's financial statements include accruals for potential product liability and warranty claims based on its claims experience. Such costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. A summary of the warranty accrual activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is presented below (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC and the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
Information About Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, we, or our executive officers on our behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors or others. All statements that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements."  Forward-looking statements may be indicated by words or phrases such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," "expects," "projects," "should," "will," "believes" or "intends" and similar words and phrases. These statements reflect management's current beliefs and are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.
12
Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include but are not limited to statements regarding operating results, the success of our internal operating plans, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and reduce debt and associated interest expense, profit and cash flow expectations, the prospects for newly acquired businesses to be integrated and contribute to future growth and our expectations regarding growth through acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, timing and success of product upgrades and new product introductions, raw materials costs, expected pricing levels, the timing and cost of expected capital expenditures, expected outcomes of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and expected synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
● general economic conditions;
● difficulty making acquisitions and successfully integrating acquired businesses;
● any unforeseen liabilities associated with future acquisitions;
● limitations on our business imposed by our indebtedness;
● unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates;
● difficulties associated with exports;
● risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations;
● increased directors' and officers' liability and other insurance costs;
● risk of rising interest rates;
● product liability and insurance risks;
● increased warranty exposure;
● future competition;
● the cyclical nature of some of our markets;
● reduction of business with large customers;
● risks associated with government contracts;
● changes in the supply of, or price for, raw materials, parts and components;
● environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
● risks and costs associated with asbestos-related litigation;
● potential write-offs of our substantial goodwill and other intangible assets;
● our ability to successfully develop new products;
● failure to protect our intellectual property;
● the effect of, or change in, government regulations (including tax);
● economic disruption caused by terrorist attacks, health crises or other unforeseen events; and
● the factors discussed in other reports filed with the SEC.
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any of these statements in light of new information or future events.

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased by 13% as compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was the result of organic growth of 8% and sales related to 2013 acquisitions of 5%.
In our Industrial Technology segment, net sales increased by 4% to $205 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $198 million in the second quarter of 2013, due primarily to increased sales in our water meter and materials testing businesses.  Gross margin decreased to 50.8% for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 51.6% for the second quarter of 2013 due to product mix. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.3% in the current year quarter from 26.0% in the prior year quarter due primarily to the non-recurrence of a $9.1 million warranty expense in the prior-year quarter. The resulting operating margin was 29.5% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 25.6% in the second quarter of 2013.
14
Net sales in our Energy Systems & Controls segment increased by 7% to $166 million during the second quarter of 2014 compared to $155 million in the second quarter of 2013.  Organic sales increased by 5%, acquisitions added 1% and the impact from foreign exchange was a positive 1% .  The increase in organic sales was due to sales of new instruments for refinery applications and increased sales in the fluid properties testing equipment market.  Gross margin increased to 57.8% in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to 56.3% in the second quarter of 2013 due to operating leverage on higher sales volume. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 30.8% compared to 29.5% in the prior year quarter due to integration expenses related to our latest acquisition. As a result, operating margin was 27.0% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 26.8% in the second quarter of 2013.
Our Medical & Scientific Imaging segment net sales increased by 29% to $269 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $208 million in the second quarter of 2013.  Organic sales increased by 13% and acquisitions completed in 2013 added 16%. The increase in organic sales was due to increased sales in our medical businesses. Gross margin increased to 72.4% in the second quarter of 2014 from 66.6% in the second quarter of 2013 due primarily to additional sales from medical products and software which have a higher gross margin.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 37.3% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 43.7% in the second quarter of 2013 due to leverage on higher sales volume, offset in part by a higher SG&A expense structure related to the 2013 acquisition.  As a result, operating margin was 35.1% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 22.9% in the second quarter of 2013.
In our RF Technology segment, net sales were $246 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $223 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 10%.  The increase was due primarily to growth in our toll and traffic businesses.  Gross margin was relatively unchanged at 52.4% as compared to 52.8% in the prior year quarter.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2014 decreased to 23.3% as compared to 25.6% in the prior year due to operating leverage on higher sales volume. The resulting operating margin was 29.0% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 27.2% in the second quarter of 2013.
Corporate expenses were $24.2 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $20.7 million, or 2.6% of sales, in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase was due to higher compensation costs, including increased stock-based compensation costs (see Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of stock-based compensation costs).
Interest expense was $20 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $22 million for the second quarter of 2013.  The decrease was due to lower average interest rates on lower average outstanding debt balances.
Other expense was $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to other income of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 due primarily to foreign exchange gains and losses at our non-U.S. based subsidiaries in both periods.
Income taxes as a percent of  pretax earnings were unchanged at 30.4% in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013.  We expect the effective tax rate for 2014 to be approximately 31%.
At June 30, 2014,  the British pound was stronger, and the functional currencies of most of our other European subsidiaries as well as the Canadian dollar were weaker against the U.S. dollar compared to currency exchange rates at March 31, 2014. The currency changes resulted in a pretax increase of $22 million in the foreign exchange component of comprehensive earnings for the current year quarter, $12 million of which is related to goodwill and does not directly affect our expected future cash flows. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the functional currencies of our European subsidiaries were stronger and the Canadian dollar was weaker against the U.S. dollar as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2013.  The difference in operating profit related to foreign exchange, translated into U.S. dollars, was less than 1% for these companies in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Net orders were $874 million in the second quarter of 2014, 7% higher than the second quarter 2013 net order intake of $817 million.  Our order backlog at June 30, 2014 was 3% higher as compared to June 30, 2013. Acquisitions completed in 2013 contributed 5% to the current quarter orders.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 13% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was the result of organic growth of 8% and sales related to 2013 acquisitions of 5%.
In our Industrial Technology segment, net sales increased by 6% to $402 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $380 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to increased sales in our water meter and materials testing businesses.  Gross margin decreased to 50.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 51.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 21.4% in the current year from 24.1% in the prior year due primarily to the non-recurrence of a $9.1 million warranty expense in the prior-year period. The resulting operating margin was 29.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 27.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Net sales in our Energy Systems & Controls segment increased by 7% to $321 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $301 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Organic sales increased by 5%, acquisitions added 1% and the impact from foreign exchange was a positive 1% .  The increase in organic sales was due to sales of new instruments for refinery applications and increased sales in the fluid properties testing equipment market.  Gross margin increased to 56.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 55.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to operating leverage on higher sales volume. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 31.2% compared to 30.2% in the prior year six months due to integration expenses related to our latest acquisition. As a result, operating margin was 25.5% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 25.7% in the first quarter of 2013.
Our Medical & Scientific Imaging segment net sales increased by 29% to $525 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $408 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Organic sales increased by 11% and acquisitions completed in 2013 added 18%. The increase in organic sales was due to increased sales in our medical businesses. Gross margin increased to 72.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 66.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to additional sales from medical products and software which have a higher gross margin.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 37.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 40.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to leverage on higher sales volume, offset in part by a higher SG&A expense structure related to the 2013 acquisition.  As a result, operating margin was 35.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 26.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
In our RF Technology segment, net sales were $471 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $432 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 9%.  The increase was due primarily to growth in our toll and traffic businesses.  Gross margin decreased to 52.7% as compared to 53.3% in the prior year six months due to product mix in our toll and traffic businesses.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to 24.3% as compared to 26.1% in the prior year six months due to operating leverage on higher sales volume. The resulting operating margin was 28.4% in 2014 as compared to 27.2% in 2013.
Corporate expenses were $46.2 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $40.8 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The dollar increase was due to higher compensation costs, including increased stock-based compensation costs (see Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of stock-based compensation costs).
Interest expense was $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease was due to lower average interest rates on higher average outstanding debt balances.
Other income was $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to other income of $0.04 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to foreign exchange gains and losses at our non-U.S. based subsidiaries.
Income taxes were 29.4% of pretax earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2014, higher than the 26.6% rate experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The current year rate was impacted by a $6 million reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations. The prior year rate was lower due to $6 million in discrete tax benefits related to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 ("ATRA"), as well as a $6 million benefit from the correction of an out of period adjustment of tax balances which were immaterial to any covered period.  We expect the effective tax rate for 2014 to be approximately 31%.
At June 30, 2014, the British pound was stronger, and the functional currencies of most of our other European subsidiaries as well as the Canadian dollar were weaker against the U.S. dollar compared to currency exchange rates at December 31, 2013. The currency changes resulted in a pretax increase of $8 million in the foreign exchange component of comprehensive earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014, $4 million of which is related to goodwill and does not directly affect our expected future cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the functional currencies of our European subsidiaries were stronger and the Canadian dollar was weaker against the U.S. dollar as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The difference in operating profit related to foreign exchange, translated into U.S. dollars, was less than 1% for these companies in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 1% to $141 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $140 million in the second quarter of 2013, and by 14% to $353 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $311 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 , due to increased earnings net of intangible amortization related to acquisitions offset in part by tax payments.
Investing activities - Cash used in investing activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily for capital expenditures.  Cash used in investing activities during the three and six months ended June 30 , 2013 was primarily for business acquisitions.
Financing activities - Cash used in financing activities was primarily for debt principal repayments and dividends in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  Cash provided by financing activities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily from stock option proceeds and primarily debt borrowings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 . Net debt payments were $221 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to net debt proceeds of $740 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The interest rate on borrowings under our $1.5 billion credit facility is calculated based upon various recognized indices plus a margin as defined in the credit agreement. At June 30, 2014, there were $30 million of outstanding borrowings under the facility.  At June 30, 2014, we had $6.9 million of other debt in the form of capital leases, several smaller facilities that allow for borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit in various foreign locations to support our non-U.S. businesses and $41 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Cash and short-term investments at our foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2014 totaled $492 million.  Repatriation of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose us to additional taxes.  We consider this cash to be permanently reinvested.  We expect existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by our U.S. operations, our unsecured credit facility, as well as our expected ability to access the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our credit facilities throughout the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net working capital (total current assets, excluding cash, less total current liabilities, excluding debt) was $335 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $282 million at December 31, 2013, reflecting increases in working capital due primarily the timing of income tax payments and an increase in unbilled receivables which was offset in part by an increase in deferred revenue. Total debt was $2.24 billion at June 30, 2014 as compared to $2.46 billion at December 31, 2013, due to the use of operating cash flows to reduce outstanding debt.   Our leverage is shown in the following table:

At June 30, 2014, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Capital expenditures of $21 million and $22 million were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We expect capital expenditures for the balance of the year to be comparable to prior years as a percentage of sales.
There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2014.
Outlook
Current geopolitical uncertainties could adversely affect our business prospects. A significant terrorist attack or other global conflict could cause changes in world economies that would adversely affect us. It is impossible to isolate each of these factor's effects on current economic conditions. It is also impossible to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty what or when any additional events may occur that also would similarly disrupt the economy.
We maintain an active acquisition program; however, future acquisitions will be dependent on numerous factors and it is not feasible to reasonably estimate if or when any such acquisitions will occur and what the impact will be on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such acquisitions may be financed by the use of existing credit lines, future cash flows from operations, the proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity securities or some combination of these methods.
We anticipate that our recently acquired companies as well as our other companies will generate positive cash flows from operating activities, and that these cash flows will permit the reduction of currently outstanding debt. However, the rate at which we can reduce our debt during 2014 (and reduce the associated interest expense) will be affected by, among other things, the financing and operating requirements of any new acquisitions and the financial performance of our existing companies; and none of these factors can be predicted with certainty.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See "Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2014. There were no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report ("Evaluation Date"). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation as of the Evaluation Date, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to our internal controls during the period covered by this quarterly report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussion in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC. See also, "Information about Forward-Looking Statements" included in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In Item 1A of our Annual Report we disclosed that our operating results could be adversely affected by a reduction of business with our large customers, as we derive a significant amount of revenue from large customers in some of our businesses. The loss or reduction of any significant contracts with any of these customers could materially reduce our revenue and cash flows. Additionally, many of our customers are government entities. In many situations, government entities can unilaterally terminate or modify our existing contracts without cause and without penalty to the government agency. In July 2014, Puerto Rico passed the Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act which may impact the future prospects of our customer, the Puerto Rico Highways & Transportation Authority.  At the present time, we believe that existing contracts and payable obligations will be honored.
