NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Organization:

Verisk Analytics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Verisk” or the “Company”) enable risk-bearing businesses to better understand and manage their risks. The Company provides its customers proprietary data that, combined with analytic methods, create embedded decision support solutions. The Company is one of the largest aggregators and providers of data pertaining to property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance risks in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Company offers solutions for detecting fraud in the U.S. P&C insurance, mortgage and healthcare industries and sophisticated methods to predict and quantify loss in diverse contexts ranging from natural catastrophes to supply chain to health insurance. The Company provides solutions, including data, statistical models or tailored analytics, all designed to allow clients to make more logical decisions.

Verisk was established on May 23, 2008 to serve as the parent holding company of Insurance Services Office, Inc. (“ISO”) upon completion of the initial public offering (“IPO”). ISO was formed in 1971 as an advisory and rating organization for the P&C insurance industry to provide statistical and actuarial services, to develop insurance programs and to assist insurance companies in meeting state regulatory requirements. Over the past decade, the Company has broadened its data assets, entered new markets, placed a greater emphasis on analytics, and pursued strategic acquisitions. On October 6, 2009, ISO effected a corporate reorganization whereby the Class A and Class B common stock of ISO were exchanged by the current stockholders for the common stock of Verisk on a one-for-one basis. Verisk immediately thereafter effected a fifty-for-one stock split of its Class A and Class B common stock and equally sub-divided the Class B common stock into two new series of stock, Verisk Class B (Series 1) (“Class B-1”) and Verisk Class B (Series 2) (“Class B-2”).

On October 9, 2009, the Company completed its IPO. Upon completion of the IPO, the selling stockholders sold 97,995,750 shares of Class A common stock of Verisk, which included the 12,745,750 over-allotment option, at the IPO price of $22.00 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sales of common stock in the offering. Verisk trades under the ticker symbol “VRSK” on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

On October 1, 2010, the Company completed a follow-on public offering. Upon completion of this offering, the selling stockholders sold 2,602,212 and 19,282,880 shares of Class A and Class B common stock of Verisk, respectively, which included the underwriters’ 2,854,577 over-allotment option, at the public offering price of $27.25 per share. Class B common stock sold into this offering was automatically converted into Class A common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock in the offering. Concurrently with the closing of this offering, the Company also repurchased 7,300,000 shares of Class B common stock at $26.3644 per share, which represents the net proceeds per share the selling stockholders received in the public offering. The Company funded a portion of this repurchase with proceeds from borrowings of $160,000 under its syndicated revolving credit facility. Upon consummation of the offering and the repurchase, the Company’s Class B-1 and Class B-2 common stock outstanding was 12,554,605 and 15,100,465 shares, respectively. The Class B-1 shares converted to Class A common stock on April 6, 2011 and the Class B-2 shares will automatically convert to Class A common stock on October 6, 2011.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include acquisition purchase price allocations, the fair value of goodwill, the realization of deferred tax assets, acquisition related liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation, liabilities for pension and postretirement benefits, and the estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. Within this filing on Form 10-Q, the Company has corrected a typographical error, which reduced the change in “Federal and foreign income taxes” by $200 in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (unaudited), but did not affect the totals for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2011-05”). Under ASU No. 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt. ASU No. 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as this guidance does not result in a change in the items that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU No. 2011-04”). ASU No. 2011-04 clarifies certain FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and develops common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU No. 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as this guidance does not result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements .

3. Investments:

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities:


			Gross		Gross
	Adjusted		Unrealized		Unrealized
	Cost		Gain		Loss			Fair Value
June 30, 2011
Registered investment companies	$	4,519	$	823	$	—		$	5,342
Equity securities		14		—		(5	)		9

Total available-for-sale securities	$	4,533	$	823	$	(5	)	$	5,351


December 31, 2010
Registered investment companies	$	4,398	$	1,248	$	—		$	5,646
Equity securities		14		—		(7	)		7

Total available-for-sale securities	$	4,412	$	1,248	$	(7	)	$	5,653

In addition to the available-for-sale securities above, the Company has equity investments in non-public companies in which the Company acquired non-controlling interests and for which no readily determinable market value exists. These securities were accounted for under the cost method in accordance with ASC 323-10-25, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (“ASC 323-10-25”). At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of such securities was $3,443 and $3,642 for each period and has been included in “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Fair Value Measurements:

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are reported at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both financial and non-financial instruments. To increase consistency and comparability of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820-10”) establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820-10 requires disclosures detailing the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company applied the following fair value hierarchy:


		Level 1 —		Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments.

		Level 2 —		Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.

		Level 3 —		Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

The following tables provide information for such assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, acquisitions related liabilities prior to the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated at $1,006,810 and $584,361 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and is based on quoted market prices if available and if not, an estimate of interest rates available to the Company for debt with similar features, the Company’s current credit rating and spreads applicable to the Company. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following table.


				Quoted Prices
				in Active Markets		Significant Other		Significant
				for Identical		Observable		Unobservable
	Total			Assets (Level 1)		Inputs (Level 2)		Inputs (Level 3)

Contingent consideration under ASC 805 (2)	$	(3,337	)	$	—	$	—	$	(3,337	)


(1)		Registered investment companies and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are valued using quoted prices in active markets multiplied by the number of shares owned.

(2)		Under ASC 805, contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the end of each reporting period for acquisitions after January 1, 2009. The Company records the initial recognition of the fair value of contingent consideration in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the statement of operations.

The table below includes a rollforward of the Company’s contingent consideration liability under ASC 805 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	For the Three Months Ended					For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010		June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010
Beginning balance	$	3,351		$	3,840	$	3,337		$	3,344

Accretion on acquisition related liabilities		13			13		27			18

Ending balance	$	—		$	3,853	$	—		$	3,853


(1)		Under ASC 805, contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the end of each reporting period for acquisitions after January 1, 2009. The Company records the initial recognition of the fair value of contingent consideration in acquisition related liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration is recorded in the statement of operations. See Note 6 for further information regarding the acquisition related liabilities adjustment associated with D2 Hawkeye, Inc. and Strategic Analytics, Inc.

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

The following is a summary of the change in goodwill from December 31, 2010 through June 30, 2011, both in total and as allocated to the Company’s operating segments:


	Risk		Decision
	Assessment		Analytics		Total
Goodwill at December 31, 2010 (1)	$	27,908	$	604,760	$	632,668
Current year acquisitions		—		79,893		79,893

Goodwill at June 30, 2011 (1)	$	27,908	$	684,653	$	712,561


(1)		These balances are net of accumulated impairment charges of $3,244 that occurred prior to the periods included within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are subject to impairment testing annually as of June 30, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing compares the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, including goodwill assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company completed the required annual impairment test as of June 30, 2011, which resulted in no impairment of goodwill. Based on the results of the impairment assessment as of June 30, 2011, the Company confirmed that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying value. Given the limited amount of time between the acquisition date and the timing of the Company’s annual impairment test, the fair value of certain reporting units exceeded their carrying value by a moderate amount.

The Company’s intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:


	Weighted
	Average			Accumulated
	Useful Life	Cost		Amortization			Net
June 30, 2011
Technology-based	7 years	$	234,755	$	(146,291	)	$	88,464

6. Acquisitions:

2011 Acquisitions

On June 17, 2011, the Company acquired the net assets of Health Risk Partners, LLC (“HRP”), a provider of solutions to optimize revenue, ensure compliance and improve quality of care for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid health plans, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $46,400 and funded $3,000 of indemnity escrows and $10,000 of contingency escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, this acquisition will further advance the Company’s position as a major provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to the healthcare industry.

On April 27, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Bloodhound Technologies, Inc (“Bloodhound”), a provider of real-time pre-adjudication medical claims editing, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $75,321 and funded $6,560 of indemnity escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, Bloodhound addresses the need of healthcare payers to control fraud and waste in a real-time claims-processing environment, and these capabilities align with the Company’s existing fraud identification tools.

The preliminary purchase price allocations of the acquisitions resulted in the following:


	Bloodhound		HRP		Total
Accounts receivable	$	2,278	$	378	$	2,656
Current assets		6,646		297		6,943
Fixed assets		1,091		1,147		2,238
Intangible assets		34,433		24,000		58,433

Current liabilities		6,869		1,445		8,314
Other liabilities		1,864		13,000		14,864

Total liabilities assumed		8,733		14,445		23,178


Net assets acquired	$	81,881	$	59,400	$	141,281

The amounts assigned to intangible assets by type for current year acquisitions are summarized in the table below:


	Weighted
	Average Useful
	Life	Bloodhound		HRP		Total
Technology-based	10 years	$	16,043	$	8,500	$	24,543
Marketing-related	6 years		2,221		5,000		7,221
Customer-related	10 years		16,169		10,500		26,669

Total intangible assets		$	34,433	$	24,000	$	58,433

Due to the timing of the acquisitions, the allocations of the purchase price are subject to revisions as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates. The revisions may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The allocations of the purchase price will be finalized once all information is obtained, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition dates.

2010 Acquisitions

On December 16, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of 3E Company (“3E”), a global source for a comprehensive suite of environmental health and safety compliance solutions, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $99,603 and funded $7,730 of indemnity escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, 3E overlaps the customer sets served by the other supply chain risk management solutions and helps the Company’s customers across a variety of vertical markets address their environmental health and safety issues.

On December 14, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Crowe Paradis Services Corporation (“CP”), a provider of claims analysis and compliance solutions to the P&C insurance industry, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $83,589 and funded $6,750 of indemnity escrows. Within the Company’s Decision Analytics segment, CP offers solutions for complying with the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, provides services to P&C insurance companies, third-party administrators and self-insured companies, which the Company believes further enhances the solution it currently offers.

On February 26, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Strategic Analytics (“SA”), a provider of credit risk and capital management solutions to consumer and mortgage lenders, for a net cash purchase price of approximately $6,386 and the Company funded $1,500 of indemnity escrows. Within the Decision Analytics segment, the Company believes SA solutions and application set will allow customers to take advantage of state-of-the-art loss forecasting, stress testing, and economic capital requirement tools to better understand and forecast the risk associated within their credit portfolios.

Acquisition Escrows

Pursuant to the related acquisition agreements, the Company has funded various escrow accounts to satisfy pre-acquisition indemnity and tax claims arising subsequent to the acquisition date, as well as a portion of the contingent payments. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the current portion of the escrows amounted to $27,056 and $6,167, respectively, and has been included in “Other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the noncurrent portion of the escrow amounted to $14,505 and $15,953, respectively.

Acquisition Related Liabilities

Based on the results of operations of Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. (“AER”), which was acquired in 2008, the Company recorded an increase of $3,500 to acquisition related liabilities and goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2010. AER was acquired in 2008 and therefore, accounted for under the transition provisions of FASB No. 141 (Revised), Business Combinations (“FAS No. 141(R)”). In April 2011, the Company finalized the AER acquisition contingent liability and made a payment of $3,500.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company reevaluated the probability of D2 Hawkeye, Inc. (“D2”) and SA achieving the specific predetermined EBITDA and revenue earnout targets for exceptional performance in fiscal year 2011 and reversed its contingent consideration related to these acquisitions. These reversals resulted in a reduction of $3,364 to contingent consideration and a decrease of $3,364 to “Acquisition related liabilities adjustment” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. Thus, based on current estimates, the sellers of D2 and SA will not receive any acquisition contingent payments.

7. Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 39.9% compared to the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of 40.9%. The June 30, 2011 effective tax rate is lower than the June 30, 2010 effective tax rate primarily due to favorable audit settlements, the continued execution of tax planning strategies and the benefits associated with enacted research and development legislation.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 40.0% compared to the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of 42.2%. The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was lower primarily due to a change in deferred tax assets of $2,362 resulting from reduced tax benefits of Medicare subsidies associated with legislative changes in the period ended March 31, 2010. Without this charge, the effective rate for the prior period would have been 41.0%. The Company’s June 30, 2011 effective tax rate is also lower than the June 30, 2010 effective tax rate due to favorable audit settlements, the continued execution of tax planning strategies and the benefits associated with enacted research and development legislation. The difference between statutory tax rates and the company’s effective tax rate are primarily attributable to state taxes and non-deductible share appreciation from the KSOP.

As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the tax treatment of federal subsidies paid to sponsors of retiree health benefit plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to the corresponding benefits provided under Medicare Part D was effectively changed. The legislative change reduces the future tax benefits of the coverage provided by the Company to participants in the postretirement plan. The Company is required to account for this change in the period for which the law is enacted. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash tax charge of $2,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

On March 16, 2011, The Northern Trust Company joined the syndicated revolving credit facility to increase the capacity by $25,000, for a $600,000 total commitment. On March 28, 2011, the Company entered into amendments to its revolving credit facility and its master shelf agreements to, among other things, permit the issuance of the senior notes and guarantees noted below.

On April 6, 2011, the Company completed an issuance of senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000. These senior notes are due on May 1, 2021 and accrue interest at a rate of 5.80%. The Company received net proceeds of $446,031 after deducting original issue discount, underwriting discount, and commissions of $3,969. The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by ISO and certain subsidiaries that guarantee our syndicated revolving credit facility or any amendment, refinancing or replacement thereof (See Note 15. Condensed Consolidated Financial Information for Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries for further information). Interest will be payable semi-annually on May 1st and November 1st of each year, beginning on November 1, 2011. Interest accrues from April 6, 2011. The debt issuance costs will be amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity date. The senior notes rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. However, the senior notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of any of the subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes and are effectively subordinated to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees of the senior notes rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the guarantors, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors. Because the guarantees of the notes are not secured, such guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the applicable guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. Upon a change of control event, the holders of the notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

9. Stockholders’ Deficit:

On November 18, 1996, the Company authorized 335,000,000 shares of ISO Class A redeemable common stock. Effective with the corporate reorganization on October 6, 2009, the ISO Class A redeemable common stock and all Verisk Class B shares sold into the IPO were converted to Verisk Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, the Verisk Class A common stock authorized was increased to 1,200,000,000 shares. The Verisk Class A common shares have rights to any dividend declared by the board of directors, subject to any preferential or other rights of any outstanding preferred stock, and voting rights to elect eight of the eleven members of the board of directors. The eleventh seat on the board of directors is held by the CEO of the Company.

On November 18, 1996, the Company authorized 1,000,000,000 ISO Class B shares and issued 500,225,000 shares. On October 6, 2009, the Company completed a corporate reorganization whereby the ISO Class B common stock and ISO Class B treasury stock were converted to Verisk Class B common stock and Verisk Class B treasury stock on a one-for-one basis. All Verisk Class B shares sold into the IPO were converted to Verisk Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In addition, the Verisk Class B common stock authorized was reduced to 800,000,000 shares, sub-divided into 400,000,000 shares of Class B-1 and 400,000,000 shares of Class B-2. Each share of Class B-1 common stock converted automatically, without any action by the stockholder, into one share of Verisk Class A common stock on April 6, 2011. Each share of Class B-2 common stock shall convert automatically, without any action by the stockholder, into one share of Verisk Class A common stock on October 6, 2011. The Class B shares have the same rights as Verisk Class A shares with respect to dividends and economic ownership, but have voting rights to elect three of the eleven directors. The Company did not repurchase any Class B shares during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

On October 6, 2009, the Company authorized 80,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, in connection with the reorganization. The preferred shares have preferential rights over the Verisk Class A and Class B common shares with respect to dividends and net distribution upon liquidation. The Company did not issue any preferred shares from the reorganization date through June 30, 2011.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 29, 2010, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of the Company’s common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase up to $450,000 of stock in the open market or as otherwise determined by the Company. On July 8, 2011, the Company’s board of directors authorized an additional $150,000 of share repurchases under the Repurchase Program, thereby increasing the capacity to $600,000. The Company has no obligation to repurchase stock under this program and intends to use this authorization as a means of offsetting dilution from the issuance of shares under the KSOP, the Verisk Analytics, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the Insurance Services Office, Inc. 1996 Incentive Plan (the “Option Plan”). This authorization has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Repurchased shares will be recorded as treasury stock and will be available for future issuance as part of the Repurchase Program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 6,499,212 shares of Verisk Class A common stock were repurchased by the Company as part of this program at a weighted average price of $33.40 per share. The Company utilized cash from operations and the proceeds from its senior notes to fund these repurchases. As treasury stock purchases are recorded based on trade date, the Company has included $5,292 in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for those purchases that have not settled as of June 30, 2011. The Company had $20,441 available to repurchase shares under the Repurchase Program as of June 30, 2011.

Treasury Stock

As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s treasury stock consisted of 199,712,896 Class A common stock and 178,893,668 Class B-2 common stock. Consistent with the Class B-1 and Class B-2 common stock, the Company’s Class B-1 treasury stock converted to Class A treasury stock on April 6, 2011 and the Class B-2 treasury stock will convert to Class A treasury stock on October 6, 2011.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding, using the treasury stock method, if the dilutive potential common shares, including stock options and nonvested restricted stock, had been issued.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011		June 30, 2010		June 30, 2011		June 30, 2010
Numerator used in basic and diluted EPS:
Net income	$	65,577	$	58,404	$	131,453	$	113,779


Denominator:
Weighted average number of common shares used in basic EPS		166,960,806		180,492,106		167,995,517		180,272,828
Effect of dilutive shares:
Potential Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options		7,673,240		9,049,787		7,803,603		9,225,496


Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in diluted EPS		174,634,046		189,541,893		175,799,120		189,498,324


Basic EPS of Class A and Class B	$	0.39	$	0.32	$	0.78	$	0.63


Diluted EPS of Class A and Class B	$	0.38	$	0.31	$	0.75	$	0.60

The potential shares of common stock that were excluded from diluted EPS were 1,402,980 and 2,004,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive.

10. Equity Compensation Plans:

All of the Company’s granted equity awards, including outstanding stock options and restricted stock, are covered under the Incentive Plan or the Option Plan. Awards under the Incentive Plan may include one or more of the following types: (i) stock options (both nonqualified and incentive stock options), (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards, (vi) other share-based awards, and (vii) cash. Employees, directors and consultants are eligible for awards under the Incentive Plan. Cash received from stock option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $18,032 and $16,733, respectively. On July 1, 2011, the Company granted 2,506 shares of Class A common stock, 34,011 nonqualified stock options that were immediately vested and 125,500 nonqualified stock options with a one year service vesting period, to the directors of the Company. These options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date and a ten year contractual term.

On April 1, 2011, the Company granted 1,401,308 nonqualified stock options and 146,664 shares of restricted stock to key employees. The nonqualified stock options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date, with a ten-year contractual term and a service vesting period of four years. The restricted stock is valued at the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant and has a service vesting period of four years. The Company recognizes the expense of the restricted stock ratably over the periods in which the restrictions lapse. The restricted stock is not assignable or transferrable until it becomes vested. As of June 30, 2011, there were 7,135,187 shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for future issuance.

The fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table:


	June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010
Option pricing model	Black-Scholes			Black-Scholes
Expected volatility		30.04	%		30.99	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.32	%		2.47	%
Expected term in years		5.3			4.8
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%
Weighted average grant date fair value per stock option	$	10.48		$	8.70

The expected term for a majority of the stock options granted was estimated based on studies of historical experience and projected exercise behavior. However, for certain stock options granted, for which no historical exercise pattern exists, the expected term was estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected term of the equity award. The volatility factor was based on the average volatility of the Company’s peers, calculated using historical daily closing prices over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the stock option award. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected annual dividend rate on the date of grant.

Exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2011 ranged from $2.16 to $33.30 as outlined in the following table:


							Options Exercisable
	Options Outstanding						Weighted
	Weighted						Average				Weighted
	Average		Stock		Weighted		Remaining		Stock		Average
Range of	Remaining		Options		Average		Contractual		Options		Exercise
Exercise Prices	Contractual Life		Outstanding		Exercise Price		Life		Exercisable		Price

				22,511,400						15,157,359

A summary of options outstanding under the Incentive Plan and the Option Plan as of June 30, 2011 and changes during the six months ended are presented below:


				Weighted		Aggregate
	Number			Average		Intrinsic
	of Options			Exercise Price		Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		23,057,857		$	13.35	$	478,014

Granted		1,401,308		$	33.30
Exercised		(1,830,942	)	$	9.85	$	43,442

Cancelled or expired		(116,823	)	$	20.92

Outstanding at June 30, 2011		22,511,400		$	13.33	$	479,184

Options exercisable at June 30, 2011		15,157,359		$	10.43	$	366,593

Options exercisable at December 31, 2010		14,820,447		$	9.22	$	368,466

Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of Verisk’s common stock as of the reporting date. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2011 was $479,184 and $366,593, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation , excess tax benefit from exercised stock options is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and a corresponding reduction in taxes payable. This tax benefit is calculated as the excess of the intrinsic value of options exercised in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. The amount of the tax benefit that has been realized, as a result of those excess tax benefits, is presented in the statement of cash flows as a financing cash inflow. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded excess tax benefit from stock options exercised of $16,530 and $20,507, respectively. The Company realized $5,470 and $10,036 of tax benefit within the Company’s quarterly tax payments through June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The realized tax benefit is presented as a financing cash inflow within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company estimates expected forfeitures of equity awards at the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards that the Company expects to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Changes in the forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the requisite service period and may impact the timing of expense recognized over the requisite service period.

A summary of the status of the restricted stock under the Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2011 and changes during the six months ended are presented below:


	Number			Weighted average grant
	of shares			date fair value
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		—		$	—
Granted		146,664			33.30
Forfeited		(349	)		33.30

Outstanding at June 30, 2011		146,315		$	33.30

As of June 30, 2011, there was $48,604 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Plan and the Option Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.71 years. As of June 30, 2011, there were 7,354,041 and 146,315 nonvested stock options and restricted stock, respectively, of which 6,351,317 and 120,331 are expected to vest. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $9,838 and $10,030, respectively. The total grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $305.

11. Pension and Postretirement Benefits:

Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company maintained a qualified defined benefit pension plan for substantially all of its employees through membership in the Pension Plan for Insurance Organizations (the “Pension Plan”), a multiple-employer trust. The Company has applied the projected unit credit cost method for its Pension Plan, which attributes an equal portion of total projected benefits to each year of employee service. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company amended the Pension Plan to determine future benefits using a cash balance formula. Under the cash balance formula, each participant has an account, which is credited annually based on salary rates determined by years of service, as well as the interest earned on their previous year-end cash balance. Prior to December 31, 2001, pension plan benefits were based on years of service and the average of the five highest consecutive years’ earnings of the last ten years. Effective March 1, 2005, the Company established the Profit Sharing Plan, a defined contribution plan, to replace the Pension Plan for all eligible employees hired on or after March 1, 2005. The Company also has a nonqualified supplemental cash balance plan (“SERP”) for certain employees. The SERP is funded from the general assets of the Company.

The Company also provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for both active and retired employees. The Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Plan (the “Postretirement Plan”) is contributory, requiring participants to pay a stated percentage of the premium for coverage. As of October 1, 2001, the Postretirement Plan was amended to freeze benefits for current retirees and certain other employees at the January 1, 2002 level. Also, as of October 1, 2001, the Postretirement Plan had a curtailment, which eliminated retiree life insurance for all active employees and healthcare benefits for almost all future retirees, effective January 1, 2002.

The components of net periodic benefit cost and the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized below:


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	Pension Plan						Postretirement Plan

Employer contributions	$	12,655		$	9,711		$	1,382		$	2,053

The expected contributions to the Pension Plan and the Postretirement Plan for the year ending December 31, 2011 are consistent with the amounts previously disclosed as of December 31, 2010.

12. Segment Reporting:

ASC 280-10, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“ASC 280-10”), establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. ASC 280-10 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board is identified as the CODM as defined by ASC 280-10. To align with the internal management of the Company’s business operations based on service offerings, the Company is organized into the following two operating segments, which are also the Company’s reportable segments:

Risk Assessment: The Company is the leading provider of statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. The Company’s databases include cleansed and standardized records describing premiums and losses in insurance transactions, casualty and property risk attributes for commercial buildings and their occupants and fire suppression capabilities of municipalities. The Company uses this data to create policy language and proprietary risk classifications that are industry standards and to generate prospective loss cost estimates used to price insurance policies.

Decision Analytics: The Company develops solutions that its customers use to analyze the three key processes in managing risk: ‘prediction of loss’, ‘detection and prevention of fraud’ and ‘quantification of loss’. The Company’s combination of algorithms and analytic methods incorporates its proprietary data to generate solutions in each of these three categories. In most cases, the Company’s customers integrate the solutions into their models, formulas or underwriting criteria in order to predict potential loss events, ranging from hurricanes and earthquakes to unanticipated healthcare claims. The Company develops catastrophe and extreme event models and offers solutions covering natural and man-made risks, including acts of terrorism. The Company also develops solutions that allow customers to quantify costs after loss events occur. Fraud solutions include data on claim histories, analysis of mortgage applications to identify misinformation, analysis of claims to find emerging patterns of fraud, and identification of suspicious claims in the insurance, mortgage and healthcare sectors.

The two aforementioned operating segments represent the segments for which separate discrete financial information is available and upon which operating results are regularly evaluated by the CODM in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company uses segment EBITDA as the profitability measure for making decisions regarding ongoing operations. Segment EBITDA is net income before investment (loss)/income, realized gain on securities, net, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Beginning 2011, the Company’s definition of Segment EBITDA includes acquisition related liabilities adjustment for all periods presented. Segment EBITDA is the measure of operating results used to assess corporate performance and optimal utilization of debt and acquisitions. Segment operating expenses consist of direct and indirect costs principally related to personnel, facilities, software license fees, consulting, travel, and third-party information services. Indirect costs are generally allocated to the segments using fixed rates established by management based upon estimated expense contribution levels and other assumptions that management considers reasonable. The Company does not allocate investment income, realized gain/(loss) on securities, net, interest expense, or income tax expense, since these items are not considered in evaluating the segment’s overall operating performance. The CODM does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on assets. On a geographic basis, no individual country outside of the U.S. accounted for 1% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenue for either the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. No individual country outside of the U.S. accounted for 1% or more of total consolidated long-term assets as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The following tables provide the Company’s revenue and operating income performance by reportable segment for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as well as a reconciliation to income before income taxes for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations:

13. Related Parties:

The Company considers its Verisk Class A and Class B stockholders that own more than 5% of the outstanding stock within the respective class to be related parties as defined within ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures . At June 30, 2011, the related parties were five Class B stockholders each owning more than 5% of the outstanding Class B shares compared to six Class B stockholders at June 30, 2010 of which four remained unchanged. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were three and five Class A stockholders owning more than 5% of the outstanding Class A shares, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable, net of $727 and $515 and fees received in advance of $1,626 and $1,231 from related parties as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company had revenues from related parties for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 of $4,787 and $15,280, and revenues of $9,183 and $30,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Although the customers that make up the Company’s related parties have changed from the prior periods, the Company continues to generate revenues from these customers.

14. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company is a party to legal proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the ordinary course of business, including those matters described below. The Company is unable, at the present time, to determine the ultimate resolution of or provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because many of these cases remain in their early stages and only limited discovery has taken place. Although the Company believes it has strong defenses for the litigation proceedings described below, the Company could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Claims Outcome Advisor Litigation

Hensley, et al. v. Computer Sciences Corporation et al. was a putative nationwide class action complaint, filed in February 2005, in Miller County, Arkansas state court. Defendants included numerous insurance companies and providers of software products used by insurers in paying claims. The Company was among the named defendants. Plaintiffs alleged that certain software products, including the Company’s Claims Outcome Advisor product and a competing software product sold by Computer Sciences Corporation, improperly estimated the amount to be paid by insurers to their policyholders in connection with claims for bodily injuries.

The Company entered into settlement agreements with plaintiffs asserting claims relating to the use of Claims Outcome Advisor by defendants Hanover Insurance Group, Progressive Car Insurance and Liberty Mutual Insurance Group. Each of these settlements was granted final approval by the court and together the settlements resolve the claims asserted in this case against the Company with respect to the above insurance companies, who settled the claims against them as well. A provision was made in 2006 for this proceeding and the total amount the Company paid in 2008 with respect to these settlements was less than $2,000. A fourth defendant, The Automobile Club of California, which is alleged to have used Claims Outcome Advisor, was dismissed from the action. On August 18, 2008, pursuant to the agreement of the parties the Court ordered that the claims against the Company be dismissed with prejudice.

Subsequently, Hanover Insurance Group made a demand for reimbursement, pursuant to an indemnification provision contained in a December 30, 2004 License Agreement between Hanover and the Company, of its settlement and defense costs in the Hensley class action. Specifically, Hanover demanded $2,536 including $600 in attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Company disputes that Hanover is entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to the License Agreement. In July 2010, after the Company and Hanover were unable to resolve the dispute in mediation, Hanover served a summons and complaint seeking indemnity and contribution from the Company. At this time, it is not possible to determine the ultimate resolution of or estimate the liability related to this matter.

Xactware Litigation

The following two lawsuits were filed by or on behalf of groups of Louisiana insurance policyholders who claim, among other things, that certain insurers who used products and price information supplied by the Company’s Xactware subsidiary (and those of another provider) did not fully compensate policyholders for property damage covered under their insurance policies. The plaintiffs seek to recover compensation for their damages in an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid by the defendants and the fair market repair/restoration costs of their damaged property.

Schafer v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. , et al. was a putative class action pending against the Company and State Farm Fire & Casualty Company filed in March 2007 in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The complaint alleged antitrust violations, breach of contract, negligence, bad faith, and fraud. The court dismissed the antitrust claim as to both defendants and dismissed all claims against the Company other than fraud. Judge Duval denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class with respect to the fraud and breach of contract claims on August 3, 2009. After the single action was reassigned to Judge Africk plaintiffs agreed to settle the matter with the Company and State Farm and a Settlement Agreement and Release was executed by all parties in June 2010. The settlement agreement was not considered material to the Company.

Mornay v. Travelers Ins. Co. , et al. is a putative class action pending against the Company and Travelers Insurance Company filed in November 2007 in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The complaint alleged antitrust violations, breach of contract, negligence, bad faith, and fraud. As in Schafer, the court dismissed the antitrust claim as to both defendants and dismissed all claims against the Company other than fraud. Judge Duval stayed all proceedings in the case pending an appraisal of the lead plaintiff’s insurance claim. The matter was re-assigned to Judge Barbier, who on September 11, 2009 issued an order administratively closing the matter pending completion of the appraisal process. At this time, it is not possible to determine the ultimate resolution of or estimate the liability related to this matter.

iiX Litigation

In April 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Insurance Information Exchange or iiX, as well as other information providers in the State of Missouri were served with a summons and class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri alleging violations of the Driver Privacy Protection Act, or the DPPA, entitled Janice Cook, et al. v. ACS State & Local Solutions, et al. Plaintiffs brought the action on their own behalf and on behalf of all similarly situated individuals whose personal information is contained in any motor vehicle record maintained by the State of Missouri and who have not provided express consent to the State of Missouri for the distribution of their personal information for purposes not enumerated by the DPPA and whose personal information has been knowingly obtained and used by the defendants. The class complaint alleges that the defendants knowingly obtained personal information for a purpose not authorized by the DPPA and seeks liquidated damages in the amount of two thousand five hundred dollars for each instance of a violation of the DPPA, punitive damages and the destruction of any illegally obtained personal information. The court granted iiX’s motion to dismiss the complaint based on a failure to state a claim on November 19, 2010. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on December 17, 2010. At this time, it is not possible to determine the ultimate resolution of or estimate the liability related to this matter.

Interthinx Litigation

In September 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, Interthinx, Inc., was served with a putative class action entitled Renata Gluzman v. Interthinx, Inc. The plaintiff, a former Interthinx employee, filed the class action on August 13, 2009 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles on behalf of all Interthinx information technology employees for unpaid overtime and missed meals and rest breaks, as well as various related claims claiming that the information technology employees were misclassified as exempt employees and, as a result, were denied certain wages and benefits that would have been received if they were properly classified as non-exempt employees. The pleadings included, among other things, a violation of Business and Professions Code 17200 for unfair business practices, which allowed plaintiffs to include as class members all information technology employees employed at Interthinx for four years prior to the date of filing the complaint. The complaint sought compensatory damages, penalties that are associated with the various statutes, restitution, interest costs, and attorney fees. On June 2, 2010, plaintiffs agreed to settle their claims with Interthinx and the court granted final approval to the settlement on February 23, 2011. The settlement agreement was not considered material to the Company.

Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and the related notes included within our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011 . This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

We enable risk-bearing businesses to better understand and manage their risks. We provide value to our customers by supplying proprietary data that, combined with our analytic methods, creates embedded decision support solutions. We are the largest aggregator and provider of data pertaining to U.S. property and casualty, or P&C, insurance risks. We offer solutions for detecting fraud in the U.S. P&C insurance, mortgage and healthcare industries and sophisticated methods to predict and quantify loss in diverse contexts ranging from natural catastrophes to health insurance to supply chain.

Our customers use our solutions to make better risk decisions with greater efficiency and discipline. We refer to these products and services as ‘solutions’ due to the integration among our products and the flexibility that enables our customers to purchase components or the comprehensive package of products. These solutions take various forms, including data, statistical models or tailored analytics, all designed to allow our clients to make more logical decisions. We believe our solutions for analyzing risk positively impact our customers’ revenues and help them better manage their costs.

We organize our business in two segments: Risk Assessment and Decision Analytics. Our Risk Assessment segment provides statistical, actuarial and underwriting data for the U.S. P&C insurance industry. Our Risk Assessment segment revenues represented approximately 44% and 48% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our Decision Analytics segment provides solutions our customers use to analyze the processes of the Verisk Risk Analysis Framework: Loss Prediction, Fraud Identification and Detection, and Loss Quantification. Our Decision Analytics segment revenues represented approximately 56% and 52% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Executive Summary

Key Performance Metrics

We believe our business’s ability to generate recurring revenue and positive cash flow is the key indicator of the successful execution of our business strategy. We use year-over- year revenue growth and EBITDA margin as metrics to measure our performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (See footnote 1 within the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations section of Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ).

Revenue growth. We use year-over -year revenue growth as a key performance metric. We assess revenue growth based on our ability to generate increased revenue through increased sales to existing customers, sales to new customers, sales of new or expanded solutions to existing and new customers and strategic acquisitions of new businesses.

EBITDA margin. We use EBITDA margin as a metric to assess segment performance and scalability of our business. We assess EBITDA margin based on our ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth.

Revenues

We earn revenues through subscriptions, long-term agreements and on a transactional basis. Subscriptions for our solutions are generally paid in advance of rendering services either quarterly or in full upon commencement of the subscription period, which is usually for one year and automatically renewed each year. As a result, the timing of our cash flows generally precedes our recognition of revenues and income and our cash flow from operations tends to be higher in the first quarter as we receive subscription payments. Examples of these arrangements include subscriptions that allow our customers to access our standardized coverage language or our actuarial services throughout the subscription period. In general, we experience minimal seasonality within the business. Our long-term agreements are generally for periods of three to seven years. We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the term of the subscription and most long-term agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Certain of our solutions are also paid for by our customers on a transactional basis. For example, we have solutions that allow our customers to access fraud detection tools in the context of an individual mortgage application or file, obtain property-specific rating and underwriting information to price a policy on a commercial building, or compare a P&C insurance, medical or workers’ compensation claim with information in our databases. For each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 31% of our revenues were derived from providing transactional solutions. We earn transactional revenues as our solutions are delivered or services performed. In general, transactions are billed monthly at the end of each month.

Approximately 84% of the revenues in our Risk Assessment segment for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were derived from subscriptions and long-term agreements for our solutions. Our customers in this segment include most of the P&C insurance providers in the United States. Approximately 57% and 55% of the revenues in our Decision Analytics segment, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were derived from subscriptions and long-term agreements for our solutions.

Principal Operating Costs and Expenses

Personnel expenses are the major component of both our cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses include salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, equity compensation costs (described under “Equity Compensation Costs” below), sales commissions, employment taxes, recruiting costs, and outsourced temporary agency costs, which represented 66% and 65% of our total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our annual salary increases are effective on April 1st of each year. As a result, our personnel expenses increase beginning in the second quarter of each year.

We allocate personnel expenses between two categories, cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative costs, based on the actual costs associated with each employee. We categorize employees who maintain our solutions as cost of revenues, and all other personnel, including executive managers, sales people, marketing, business development, finance, legal, human resources, and administrative services, as selling, general and administrative expenses. A significant portion of our other operating costs, such as facilities and communications, are also either captured within cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expense based on the nature of the work being performed.

While we expect to grow our headcount over time to take advantage of our market opportunities, we believe that the economies of scale in our operating model will allow us to grow our personnel expenses at a lower rate than revenues. Historically, our EBITDA margin, excluding the impact of new acquisitions, has improved because we have been able to increase revenues without a proportionate corresponding increase in expenses.

Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel expenses. Cost of revenues also includes the expenses associated with the acquisition and verification of data, the maintenance of our existing solutions and the development and enhancement of our next-generation solutions. Our cost of revenues excludes depreciation and amortization.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Our selling, general and administrative expense also consists primarily of personnel costs. A portion of the other operating costs such as facilities, insurance and communications are also allocated to selling, general and administrative costs based on the nature of the work being performed by the employee. Our selling, general and administrative expense excludes depreciation and amortization.

Description of Acquisitions

Since January 1, 2010, we acquired five businesses. As a result of these acquisitions, our consolidated results of operations may not be comparable between periods. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

2011 Acquisitions

On June 17, 2011, we acquired the net assets of Health Risk Partners, LLC, or HRP, a provider of solutions to optimize revenue, ensure compliance and improve quality of care for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid health plans. Within our Decision Analytics segment, this acquisition will further advance our position as a major provider of data, analytics, and decision-support solutions to the healthcare industry.

On April 27, 2011, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Bloodhound Technologies, Inc, or Bloodhound, a provider of real-time pre-adjudication medical claims editing. Within our Decision Analytics segment, Bloodhound addresses the need of healthcare payers to control fraud and waste in a real-time claims-processing environment, and these capabilities align with our existing fraud identification tools.

2010 Acquisitions

On December 16, 2010, we acquired 100% of the common stock of 3E Company, or 3E, a global source for a comprehensive suite of environmental health and safety compliance solutions. Within our Decision Analytics segment, 3E overlaps the customer sets served by our other supply chain risk management solutions and helps our customers across a variety of vertical markets address their environmental health and safety issues.

On December 14, 2010, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Crowe Paradis Services Corporation, or CP, a leading provider of claims analysis and compliance solutions for the P&C insurance industry. Within our Decision Analytics segment, CP offers solutions for complying with the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Act, provides services to many of the largest worker’s compensation insurers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and self-insured companies, which enhances solutions we currently offer.

On February 26, 2010, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Strategic Analytics, Inc., or SA, a privately-owned provider of credit risk and capital management solutions to consumer and mortgage lenders. Within our Decision Analytics segment, SA’s solutions and application set will allow our customers to take advantage of state-of-the-art loss forecasting, stress testing, and economic capital requirement tools to better understand and forecast the risk associated within their credit portfolios.

Equity Compensation Costs

We have a leveraged employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, funded with intercompany debt that includes 401(k), ESOP and profit sharing components to provide employees with equity participation. We make quarterly cash contributions to the plan equal to the debt service requirements or as needed to fund employee benefits. As the debt is repaid, a percentage of the ESOP loan collateral is released to the ESOP to fund 401(k) matching and profit sharing contributions and the remainder, if any, is allocated annually to active employees in proportion to their eligible compensation in relation to total participants’ eligible compensation. We had no ESOP allocation expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. We accrue compensation expense over the reporting period equal to the fair value of the ESOP loan collateral to be released to the ESOP.

The amount of our ESOP costs recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(In thousands)				(In thousands)
ESOP costs by contribution type:
401(k) matching contribution expense	$	2,771	$	2,495	$	5,426	$	4,848
Profit sharing contribution expense		526		384		982		881

Total ESOP costs	$	3,297	$	2,879	$	6,408	$	5,729


ESOP costs by segment:
Risk Assessment ESOP costs	$	1,840	$	1,688	$	3,588	$	3,415
Decision Analytics ESOP costs		1,457		1,191		2,820		2,314

Total ESOP costs	$	3,297	$	2,879	$	6,408	$	5,729

In addition, the portion of the ESOP allocation expense related to the appreciation of the value of the shares in the ESOP, above the value of those shares when the ESOP was first established, is not tax-deductible.

Under the terms of our approved compensation plans, stock options and other equity awards may be granted to employees. Prior to our IPO, we granted to key employees nonqualified stock options covered under the Insurance Services Office, Inc. 1996 Incentive Plan, or the Option Plan. Subsequent to the IPO, equity awards, including nonqualified stock options and restricted stock, granted to key employees are covered under the Verisk Analytics, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Incentive Plan. All of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock are covered under the Incentive Plan or the Option Plan. See Note 10 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

(1)		EBITDA is the financial measure which management uses to evaluate the performance of our segments. “EBITDA” is defined as net income before investment (loss)/income and realized gain on securities, net, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of fixed and intangible assets. Beginning 2011, our EBITDA includes acquisition related liabilities adjustment for all periods presented. In addition, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes references to EBITDA margin, which is computed as EBITDA divided by revenues. See Note 12 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q filing.

Although EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations or cash flows from operating activities reported under GAAP. Management uses EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance. Some of these limitations are:

	•		EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

	•		EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

	•		Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

	•		Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Revenues

Revenues were $640.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $557.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $82.3 million or 14.8%. In 2011 and 2010, we acquired HRP, Bloodhound, 3E, CP and SA, collectively referred to as recent acquisitions, which we define as acquisitions not owned for a significant portion of both the current period and/or prior period and would therefore impact the comparability of the financial results. Recent acquisitions, all within the Decision Analytics segment, provided an increase of $39.5 million in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Excluding recent acquisitions, revenues increased $42.8 million, which included an increase in our Risk Assessment segment of $12.1 million and an increase in our Decision Analytics segment of $30.7 million.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $255.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $230.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $25.7 million or 11.2%. The increase was primarily due to costs related to recent acquisitions of $15.2 million, and an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $9.8 million, which include annual salary increases, and medical costs, pension costs, and equity compensation. The net increase in salaries and employee benefits includes an offsetting reduction in pension cost of $1.4 million. Other increases include leased software expenses of $1.3 million and other operating costs of $1.9 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in data costs of $1.6 million primarily within our Decision Analytics segment, and a decrease in rent and maintenance fees of $0.9 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $105.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $80.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $25.1 million or 31.2%. The increase was primarily due to costs attributable to recent acquisitions of $17.5 million and an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $6.0 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, and equity compensation. Our equity compensation expense, included within salaries, increased by $2.1 million over the prior year period primarily due to the accelerated expense recognition, which is required when awards granted to employees are no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service based on our retirement qualifications. Other increases were costs attributable to legal and accounting costs of $0.8 million and other general expenses of $0.8 million.

Depreciation and Amortization of Fixed Assets

Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets was $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $2.3 million or 11.5%. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets includes depreciation of furniture and equipment, software, computer hardware, and related equipment. The majority of the increase relates to software and hardware costs to support data capacity expansion and revenue growth.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.0 million or 21.0%. The increase was primarily related to amortization of intangible assets associated with recent acquisitions of $5.5 million. This increase was offset by a decrease of $2.5 million of amortization of intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions that have been fully amortized.

Acquisition Related Liabilities Adjustment

Acquisition related liabilities adjustment was a benefit of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and there was no adjustment in the six months ended June 30, 2010. This benefit was a result of a reduction of $3.4 million to contingent consideration due to the reduced probability of the D2Hawkeye, and SA acquisitions achieving the EBITDA and revenue earn-out targets for exceptional performance in fiscal year 2011 established at the time of acquisition.

Investment Income and Realized Gain on Securities, Net

Investment income and realized gain on securities, net was a gain of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a gain of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $7.6 million or 44.9%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in our average debt outstanding and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $83.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $4.6 million or 5.6%. The effective tax rate was 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 42.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was lower primarily due to a change in deferred tax assets of $2.4 million resulting from reduced tax benefits of Medicare subsidies associated with legislative changes in the period ended March 31, 2010. Excluding this charge, the effective rate for the prior period would have been 41.0%. The June 30, 2011 effective tax rate is also lower than the June 30, 2010 effective tax rate due to favorable audit settlements, the continued execution of tax planning strategies and the benefits associated with enacted research and development legislation.

EBITDA Margin

The EBITDA margin for our consolidated results was 44.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 44.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the acquisition related liabilities adjustment positively impacted our EBITDA margin by 0.5% and was partially offset by the recent acquisitions, which mitigated our margin expansion by 1.9%

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Revenues

Revenues were $327.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $281.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $45.6 million or 16.2%. Recent acquisitions accounted for an increase of $20.9 million in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $131.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $115.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $16.2 million or 14.1%. The increase was primarily due to costs related to recent acquisitions of $8.5 million, and a net increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $6.1 million, which include annual salary increases, and medical costs. Included within the net increase in salaries and employee benefits is an offsetting reduction in pension cost of $0.6 million. Other increases include leased software costs of $0.8 million and other operating expenses of $1.5 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rent and maintenance fees of $0.7 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $55.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $13.3 million or 31.1%. The increase was primarily due to costs attributable to recent acquisitions of $8.8 million, an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $3.8 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, commissions, and equity compensation expense, and an increase in other general expenses of $0.7 million. Our equity compensation included within salaries, increased by $2.1 million over the prior year period primarily due to the accelerated expense recognition, which is required when awards granted to employees are no longer contingent on the employee providing additional service based on our retirement qualifications.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $43.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $40.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.2 million or 7.7%. The effective tax rate was 39.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 40.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to favorable audit settlements, the continued execution of tax planning strategies and the benefits associated with enacted research and development legislation.

EBITDA Margin

The EBITDA margin for our consolidated results was 43.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 44.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June, 30, 2011, the acquisition related liabilities adjustment positively impacted our EBITDA margin by 1.0% and was partially offset by the recent acquisitions which mitigated our margin expansion by 1.8%.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for our Risk Assessment segment was $96.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $2.3 million or 2.3%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits costs of $1.5 million, primarily related to lower pension cost of $1.2 million. Salaries and employee benefit costs also decreased due to a reallocation of information technology resources to our Decision Analytics segment. Other decreases consisted of other rent and maintenance of $1.2 million, which was partially offset by an increase in data and consultant costs of $0.4 million.

Cost of revenues for our Risk Assessment segment was $49.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $48.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $0.4 million or 0.8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in other general expenses of $1.1 million, and a net increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $0.1 million. Included within the net increase in salaries and employee benefits is an offsetting reduction in pension cost of $0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rent and maintenance costs of $0.8 million.

The increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in accelerated expense recognition for our 2011 equity awards, grant and an increase in salaries and employee benefit costs of $0.5 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, and commissions. Other increases included legal and accounting costs of $0.8 million and other general expenses of $0.5 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for our Risk Assessment segment were $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.9 million or 20.1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in equity compensation of $2.1 million, other general expenses of $1.0 million, and an increase in salaries and employee benefit costs of $0.8 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, and commissions.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin for our Risk Assessment segment was 50.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 49.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in margin is primarily attributed to operating leverage in the segment as well as cost efficiencies and a reallocation of information technology and corporate resources to our Decision Analytics segment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $62.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $21.2 million or 51.0%. The increase was due to costs attributable to recent acquisitions of $17.5 million, an increase in salaries and employee benefits costs of $3.4 million, which include annual salary increases, medical costs, commissions, and equity compensation, and an increase in other general expenses of $0.3 million.

EBITDA Margin

The EBITDA margin for our Decision Analytics segment was 39.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 40.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, recent acquisitions mitigated our margin expansion by 2.8%, and the reallocation of corporate resources mitigated our margin expansion. These were partially offset by the acquisition related liabilities adjustment, which positively impacted our EBITDA margin by 0.9%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents and available-for sale securities of $57.3 million and $60.6 million, respectively. Subscriptions for our solutions are billed and generally paid in advance of rendering services either quarterly or in full upon commencement of the subscription period, which is usually for one year, and many are automatically renewed at the beginning of each calendar year. We have historically generated significant cash flows from operations. As a result of this factor, as well as the availability of funds under our revolving credit facility, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including acquisition contingent payments and to fuel our future growth plans.

We have historically managed the business with a working capital deficit due to the fact that, as described above, we offer our solutions and services primarily through annual subscriptions or long-term contracts, which are generally prepaid quarterly or annually in advance of the services being rendered. When cash is received for prepayment of invoices, we record an asset (cash and cash equivalents) on our balance sheet with the offset recorded as a current liability (fees received in advance). This current liability is deferred revenue that does not require a direct cash outflow since our customers have prepaid and are obligated to purchase the services. In most businesses, growth in revenue typically leads to an increase in the accounts receivable balance causing a use of cash as a company grows. Unlike these businesses, our cash position is favorably affected by revenue growth, which results in a source of cash due to our customers prepaying for most of our services.

Our capital expenditures, which include non-cash purchases of fixed assets, as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, were 5.4% and 3.0%, respectively. Expenditures related to developing and enhancing our solutions are predominately related to internal use software and are capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance for costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The amounts capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance for software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are not significant to the financial statements.

We historically used a portion of our cash for repurchases of our common stock from our stockholders. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased $217.0 million of our Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased $64.9 million of our Class A common stock and $15.1 million of shares used in the settlement of taxes upon the exercise of stock options. On July 8, 2011, subsequent to the second quarter, our board of directors authorized an additional $150.0 million of share repurchases under the Repurchase Program. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We provide pension and postretirement benefits to certain qualifying active employees and retirees. Based on the pension funding policy, we contributed $12.7 million and $9.7 million to the pension plan in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and expect to contribute approximately $13.1 million to the pension plan in remaining periods of 2011. Under the postretirement plan, we provide certain healthcare and life insurance benefits to qualifying participants; however, participants are required to pay a stated percentage of the premium coverage. We contributed approximately $1.4 million and $2.1 million to the postretirement plan in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and expect to contribute approximately $2.8 million in the remaining periods of 2011. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Financing and Financing Capacity

We had total debt, excluding capital lease and other obligations, of $1,014.0 million and $835.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The debt at June 30, 2011 primarily consisted of long-term senior notes and loan facilities drawn to finance our stock repurchases and acquisitions.

On April 6, 2011, we completed an issuance of senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million. These senior notes are due on May 1, 2021 and accrue interest at 5.80%. We received net proceeds of $446.0 million after deducting original issue discount, underwriting discount, and commissions of $4.0 million. The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by ISO and certain subsidiaries that guarantee our syndicated revolving credit facility or any amendment, refinancing or replacement thereof. Interest will be payable semi-annually on May 1st and November 1st of each year, beginning on November 1, 2011. Interest accrues from April 6, 2011. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We expect to redraw from our syndicated revolving credit facility over time as needed for our corporate strategy, including for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. The indenture governing the senior notes restricts our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, create certain liens, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and consolidate with, sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our assets, or merge with or into, any other person or entity.

We have a $600.0 million committed revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders due September 2014. On March 16, 2011, The Northern Trust Company joined the syndicated revolving credit facility to increase the capacity by $25.0 million, for a $600.0 million total commitment. On March 28, 2011, we entered into amendments to our revolving credit facility and our master shelf agreements to, among other things, permit the issuance of the senior notes and guarantees noted above.

The $600.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility contains certain customary financial and other covenants that, among other things, impose certain restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, and capital expenditures. These covenants also place restrictions on asset sales, sale and leaseback transactions, payments between us and our subsidiaries, cross defaults, and certain transactions with affiliates. The financial covenants require that, at the end of any fiscal quarter, we have a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and that during any period of four fiscal quarters we maintain a consolidated funded debt leverage ratio of below 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2011.

We also have long-term loan facilities under uncommitted master shelf agreements with Aviva Investors North America, or Aviva, New York Life and Prudential Capital Group, or Prudential, with availabilities at June 30, 2011 in the amounts of $20.0 million, $30.0 million and $165.0 million, respectively. We can borrow under the Aviva Master Shelf Agreement until December 10, 2011, the New York Life Master Shelf Agreement until March 16, 2013 and the Prudential Master Shelf Agreement until August 30, 2013.

The notes outstanding under these facilities mature over the next five years. Individual borrowings are made at a fixed rate of interest determined at the time of the borrowing and interest is payable quarterly. The weighted average rate of interest with respect to our outstanding borrowings under these facilities was 6.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The uncommitted master shelf agreements contain certain covenants that limit our ability to create liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell assets to another company. Our shelf agreements also contains financial covenants that require that, at the end of any fiscal quarter, we have a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a leverage ratio of below 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under our master shelf agreements as of June 30, 2011.

Cash Flow

The following table summarizes our cash flow data for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.


	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	187,087		$	173,034
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(172,586	)	$	(22,924	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(18,078	)	$	(114,617	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $187.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $173.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was principally due to an increase in cash receipts from customers during the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was partially offset by an increase in operating payments primarily related to increased pension contributions during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $172.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was principally due to an increase in acquisition and escrow related payments of $133.4 million, primarily related to the acquisitions of Bloodhound and HRP in the second quarter of 2011, and the purchases of fixed assets of $12.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $114.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily related to repurchases of our Class A common stock of $214.0 million partially offset by an increase in total net debt of $172.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily related to a decrease in total debt of $64.1 million and repurchases of our Class A common stock of $62.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business from those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011 except as noted below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements require management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, pension and other post retirement benefits, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these assumptions or conditions. Some of the judgments that management makes in applying its accounting estimates in these areas are discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011. Since the date of our annual report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates except for the policy clarification noted below.

Regarding revenue recognition for software arrangements related to property-specific rating and underwriting information and loss prediction solutions that include post-contract customer support, or PCS, the PCS associated with these arrangements is coterminous with the duration of the license term.


Item 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks at June 30, 2011 have not materially changed from those discussed under Item 7A in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011.


Item 4.		Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based upon the foregoing assessments, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three month period ended June 30, 2011, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		Legal Proceedings

We are party to legal proceedings with respect to a variety of matters in the ordinary course of business. See Part I Item I. Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011 for a description of our significant current legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference herein.


Item 1A.		Risk Factors

There has been no material change in the information provided under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011 except for the updated disclosure set forth below.

Our revenue from customers in the mortgage vertical is largely transactional and subject to changing conditions of the U.S. mortgage market.

Revenue derived from solutions we provide the U.S. mortgage and mortgage-related industries accounted for approximately 13% of our total revenue in the year ended December 31, 2010. Our forensic audit business and business with government-sponsored entities in the mortgage business accounted for approximately 65% of our total mortgage and mortgage-related revenue in 2010. Because our business relies on transaction volumes based on both new mortgage applications and forensic audit of funded loans, reductions in either the volume of mortgage loans originated or the number or quality of funded loans could reduce our revenue. Mortgage origination volumes in 2010 declined versus 2009. This decline has continued through June 30, 2011, and may continue based on changes in the mortgage market related to the U.S. mortgage crisis.

Recently there have been proposals to restructure or eliminate the roles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The restructuring or elimination of either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac could have a negative effect on the U. S. mortgage market and on our revenue derived from the solutions we provide to the mortgage industry. If origination volumes and applications for mortgages decline, our revenue in this part of the business may decline if we are unable to increase the percentage of mortgages examined for existing customers or add new customers. Our forensic audit business has benefited from the high amount of bad loans to be examined by mortgage insurers and other parties as a result of the U.S. mortgage crisis. Certain mortgage insurers who have been operating under regulatory waivers of capital sufficiency requirements have recently announced that they may be unable to write new mortgage insurance policies as early as the second half of 2011 if their regulatory relief is not continued. Such a development could impact the volume of loans to be examined in our forensic audit business and could reduce our revenue and profitability. Additionally, a withdrawal of mortgage insurers from the mortgage loan market could potentially reduce the volume of loan originations, which could reduce the revenue in our origination-related business. Two customers represent the majority of our mortgage revenue in 2010 and if their volumes decline and we are not able to replace them with new customers, our revenue may decline.
