Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Tables in thousands, except per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted for interim periods. Balance sheet amounts are as of ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017, and December 31, ~~2015~~2016, and operating result amounts are for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015, respectively,~~ and include all normal and recurring adjustments that we considered necessary for the fair summarized presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read the financial statements and notes included in our latest Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions, and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). We had no items of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 and ~~2015.~~

2016.

Certain amounts for the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) ~~Acquisitions~~

In November 2015, we acquired all of the capital stock of New World Systems Corporation (“NWS”), which provides public safety and financial solutions for local governments. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we paid $2.0 million related to the working capital holdback of $4.0 million, which was accrued at December 31, 2015, and reduced the remaining working capital accrued liability. Other adjustments included several miscellaneous adjustments to the preliminary opening balance sheet related to a reductionShareholders’ Equity

The following table details activity in ~~deferred revenue and related deferred taxes and additional reserves for receivables and contingencies for a net decrease to goodwill of approximately $10.2 million.~~ our common stock:

As of ~~September 30, 2016, the purchase price allocation for NWS is not yet complete. The preliminary estimates~~March 31, 2017, we had authorization from our board of ~~fair value assumed at the acquisition date for intangibles, liabilities, deferred revenue, and related deferred taxes are subject~~directors to ~~change as valuations are finalized.~~

~~The operating results~~repurchase up to 2.0 million additional shares of ~~NWS are included with the operating results of the Enterprise Software Solutions segment, since the date of acquisition.~~

Tyler common stock.

(3) Other Assets

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with several domestic banks and money market funds.

As of ~~September 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we have ~~$34.0~~$33.5 million in investment grade corporate and municipal bonds with maturity dates ranging from ~~2016~~2017 through ~~mid-2018.~~early-2019. We intend to hold these bonds to maturity and have classified them as such. We believe cost approximates fair value because of the relatively short duration of these investments. The fair value of these securities are considered Level II as they are based on inputs from quoted prices in markets that are not active or other observable market data. These investments are included in short-term investments and non-current investments and other assets.

We have a $15.0 million investment in convertible preferred stock representing a 20% interest in Record Holdings Pty Limited, a privately held Australian company specializing in digitizing the spoken word in court and legal proceedings. The investment in convertible preferred stock is accounted under the cost method because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee and the securities do not have readily determinable fair values. Our investment is carried at cost less any impairment write-downs. Annually, the Company’s cost method investments are assessed for impairment. The Company does not reassess the fair value of cost method investments if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments. This investment is included in non-current investments and other assets.

~~As of September 30, 2016, we had authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to 2.1 million additional shares of Tyler common stock.~~

~~(5)~~ Revolving Line of Credit

On November 16, 2015, we entered into a $300.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with the various lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line up to $300.0 million, including a $10.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on November 16, 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements, acquisitions and share repurchases.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of either (1) Wells Fargo Bank’s prime rate (subject to certain higher rate determinations) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.00% or (2) the 30, 60, 90 or 180 day LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%. As of ~~September 30, 2016, our~~March 31, 2017, the interest rates were 4.04% under the Wells Fargo Bank's prime rate ~~was 1.8%.~~and 2.23% under a 30-day LIBOR contract. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. The Credit Facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and other financial conditions and prohibits us from making certain investments, advances, cash dividends or loans, and limits incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens. As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with those covenants.

As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we had ~~$34.0 million in~~no outstanding borrowings and two outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.2 million. Unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was ~~$263.8~~$297.8 million.

~~(6)~~

(5) Income Tax Provision

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, we had effective income tax rates of ~~38.9%~~10.2% and ~~38.2%~~33.9%, ~~respectively, compared to 36.5% and 36.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015,~~ respectively. The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% principally due to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises. The excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises realized were $10.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Excluding the excess tax benefits, the effective rates were 38.2% for both periods.

(8) Segment and Related Information

We ~~are a major provider of~~provide integrated information management solutions and services for the public sector, with a focus on local governments.

We provide our software systems and services and appraisal services through four business units, which focus on the following products:

financial management, education and planning, regulatory and maintenance software solutions;

financial management, municipal courts, planning, regulatory and maintenance, and land and vital records management software solutions;

courts and justice and public safety software solutions; and

appraisal and tax software solutions and property appraisal services.

In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, the financial management, education and planning, regulatory and maintenance software solutions unit; financial management, municipal courts, planning, regulatory and maintenance, and land and vital records management software solutions unit; and the courts and justice and public safety software solutions unit meet the criteria for aggregation and are presented in one reportable segment, the Enterprise Software (“ES”) segment. The ES segment provides municipal and county governments and schools with software systems and services to meet their information technology and automation needs for mission-critical “back-office” functions such as financial management and courts and justice processes; public safety; planning, regulatory and maintenance; and land and vital records management. The Appraisal and Tax (“A&T”) segment provides systems and software that automate the appraisal and assessment of real and personal property as well as property appraisal outsourcing services for local governments and taxing authorities. Property appraisal outsourcing services include: the physical inspection of commercial and residential properties; data collection and processing; computer analysis for property valuation; preparation of tax rolls; community education; and arbitration between taxpayers and the assessing jurisdiction.

We evaluate performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income. We define segment operating income for our business units as income before non-cash amortization of intangible assets associated with their ~~acquisition,~~acquisitions, interest expense and income taxes. Segment operating income includes intercompany transactions. The majority of intercompany transactions relate to contracts involving more than one unit and are valued based on the contractual arrangement. Segment operating income for corporate primarily consists of compensation costs for the executive management team and certain accounting and administrative staff and share-based compensation expense for the entire company. Corporate segment operating income also includes revenues and expenses related to a company-wide user conference.

(10) New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with ~~Customers.~~Customers. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”~~("FASB") issued ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU is the result of a convergence project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board. The core principle behind ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for delivering those goods and services. This model involves a five-step process that includes identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction ~~prices~~price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations. The ~~guidance in the ASU supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early application not permitted. The~~ ASU allows two methods of ~~adoption;~~adoption: a full retrospective approach where three years of financial information are presented in accordance with the

new standard, and a modified retrospective approach where the ASU is applied to the most current period presented in the financial statements.

~~On August 12, 2015,~~ We currently anticipate adopting the ~~FASB voted for a one-year deferral~~standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. Our ability to adopt using the full retrospective method is dependent on system readiness, including software procured from third-party providers, and the completion of ~~the effective date~~our analysis of ~~the~~information necessary to restate prior period financial statements.

The new standard ~~and now~~ requires application ~~of the new standard~~ no later than annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods ~~therein. However, under the proposal,~~therein; however, public entities ~~would be~~are permitted to elect to early adopt the new ~~standard as of the original effective date.~~standard. We are assessing the financial impact of adopting the new standard and the methods of ~~adoption,~~adoption; however, we are currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate regarding the financial ~~impact or which method of adoption of the new standard we~~impact. We will ~~elect. We expect to~~ adopt the new standard in fiscal year ~~2018~~2018.

We anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to our accounting for software license fees, installation fees, and incremental cost of obtaining a contract. Specifically, under the new standard we expect software license fees under perpetual agreements will no longer be subject to 100% discount allocations from other elements in ~~accordance~~the contract. Discounts in arrangements will be allocated across all deliverables increasing license revenues and decreasing revenues allocated to other performance obligations. In addition, in most cases, net license fees (total license fees less any allocated discounts) will be recognized at the point in time that control of the software license transfers to the customer versus our current policy of recognizing revenue only to the extent billable per the contractual terms. Time-based license fees currently recognized over the license term will no longer be recognized over the period of the license and will instead be recognized at the point in time that control of the software license transfers to the customer. We expect revenue related to our SaaS offerings and professional services to remain substantially unchanged. Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances from recognition at the time of billing. Application of the new standard requires that incremental costs directly related to obtaining a contract (typically sales commissions plus any associated fringe benefits) must be recognized as an asset and expensed on a systematic basis that is consistent with the ~~revised effective date.~~

transfer to the customer of the goods and services to which the asset relates, unless that life is less than one year. Currently, we defer sales commissions and recognize expense over the relevant initial contractual term. With the adoption of the new standard, we expect amortization periods to extend past the initial term.

Leases. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

A lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach.

The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted for all business entities upon issuance. We are assessing the financial impact of adopting the new standard, however; we are currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate regarding the financial impact. We expect to adopt the new standard in fiscal year 2019.

~~Compensation-Stock Compensation.~~ On March 31, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, that will require entities to recognize the income tax effects of share based payments to employees in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the financial impact of adopting the new standard. We are currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate regarding the financial impact, but expect it will materially impact our income tax expense, operating cash flows, and the effective tax rate. We will adopt the new standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.

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

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical in nature and typically address future or anticipated events, trends, expectations or beliefs with respect to our financial condition, results of operations or business. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “might,” “could” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our forward-looking statements, but they are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from the expectations and beliefs reflected in the forward-looking statements. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and beliefs: (1) changes in the budgets or regulatory environments of our clients, primarily local and state governments, that could negatively impact information technology spending; (2) our ability to protect client information from security breaches and provide uninterrupted operations of data centers; (3) our ability to ~~successfully~~ achieve growth or operational synergies through the integration of acquired businesses, while avoiding unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (4) material portions of our business require the Internet infrastructure to be adequately maintained; (5) our ability to achieve our financial forecasts due to various factors, including project delays by our clients, reductions in transaction size, fewer transactions, delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for service agreements; (6) general economic, political and market conditions; (7) technological and market risks associated with the development of new products or services or of new versions of existing or acquired products or services; (8) competition in the industry in which we conduct business and the impact of competition on pricing, client retention and pressure for new products or services; (9) the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and dealing with the loss or retirement of key members of management or other key personnel; and (10) costs of compliance and any failure to comply with government and stock exchange regulations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business are described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

We provide integrated information management solutions and services for the public sector, with a focus on local governments. We develop and market a broad line of software products and services to address the IT needs of cities, counties, schools and other local government entities. In addition, we provide professional IT services to our clients, including software and hardware installation, data conversion, training, and for certain clients, product modifications, along with continuing maintenance and support for clients using our systems. We also provide subscription-based services that utilize the Tyler private cloud such as e-filing, which simplifies the filing and management of court related documents. We also provide property appraisal outsourcing services for taxing jurisdictions.

Our products generally automate six major functional areas: (1) financial management and education, (2) courts and justice, (3) public safety, (4) property appraisal and tax, (5) planning, regulatory and maintenance, and (6) land and vital records management. We report our results in two segments. The Enterprise Software (“ES”) segment provides municipal and county governments and schools with software systems and services to meet their information technology and automation needs for mission-critical “back-office” functions such as financial management; courts and justice processes; public safety; planning, regulatory and maintenance; and land and vital records management. The Appraisal and Tax (“A&T”) segment provides systems and software that automate the appraisal and assessment of real and personal property as well as property appraisal outsourcing services for local governments and taxing authorities. Property appraisal outsourcing services include: the physical inspection of commercial and residential properties; data collection and processing; computer analysis for property valuation; preparation of tax rolls; community education; and arbitration between taxpayers and the assessing jurisdiction.

Our total employee count increased to ~~3,775~~3,860 at ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, from ~~3,075~~3,627 at ~~September 30, 2015. This increase includes 514 employees added as the result of two acquisitions.~~

March 31, 2016.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, total revenues increased ~~29% and 30%, respectively,~~11% compared to the prior year ~~periods. Organic~~period.

Subscriptions revenue ~~increased 11% and 12%~~grew 18% for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the prior year periods and revenues from acquisitions completed in 2015 and 2016 contributed 18% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

~~Subscriptions revenue grew 27% and 29% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,~~March 31, 2017, due to a gradual shift toward cloud-based, software as a service (“SaaS”) business, as well as continued strong growth in our e-filing revenues from courts. Organic subscriptions revenue increased 23% and 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Activity in the local government software market continues to be strong, and with the inclusion of New World Systems Corporation (“NWS”), which was acquired in November 2015, our backlog at September 30, 2016, reached $935.6 million, a 23% increase from last year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the interim period and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and amortization and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and share-based compensation expense. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~

Software license revenue and royalties increased 3%8% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period mainly due to higher royalties on sales of Microsoft Dynamics AX by other Microsoft partners. Royalty revenue is dependent upon sales volume from Microsoft partners and can vary substantially from period to period. Excluding the results of acquisitions, software license revenue declined 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, compared to the prior year period. ~~This decline~~The majority of this growth was ~~mainly~~ due to ~~lower add-on sales from~~an active marketplace with generally good local government economic conditions, as well as our ~~existing customer base of approximately $1.3 million for courts and justice related solutions that assist and support~~increasingly strong competitive position, which we attribute in part to our investment in product development over the ~~transition to a paperless environment.

Software license revenue was also negatively impacted for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, by an increase in the number of clients choosing our subscription-based option, rather than purchasing the software under a traditional perpetual software arrangement.

Although the mix of new contracts between subscription-based and perpetual license arrangements may vary from quarter to quarter and year to year, we expect our longer-term software license growth rate to continue to be negatively impacted by a growing number of customers choosing our subscription-based options, rather than purchasing the software under a traditional perpetual software license arrangement. Subscription-based arrangements result in lower software license revenue in the initial year as compared to perpetual software license arrangements but generate higher overall revenue over the term of the contract. Our new client mix for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, was approximately ~~68%~~55% selecting perpetual software license arrangements and approximately ~~32%~~45% selecting subscription-based arrangements compared to a client mix for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2015,~~March 31, 2016, of approximately ~~76%~~66% selecting perpetual software license arrangements and approximately ~~24%~~34% selecting subscription-based arrangements. ~~50 and 189~~92 new clients entered into subscription-based software arrangements for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, compared to ~~35 and 101~~65 new clients for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2015, respectively.~~

Software services, maintenance and subscriptions. Cost of software services, maintenance and subscriptions primarily consists of personnel costs related to installation of our software, conversion of client data, training client personnel and support activities and various other services such as custom client development and on-going operation of SaaS and e-filing arrangements.

Research and development expense consists mainly of costs associated with development of new products and technologies from which we do not currently generate significant revenue, as well as costs related to the ongoing development efforts for Microsoft Dynamics AX. Our contractual research and development commitment to develop public sector functionality for Microsoft Dynamics AX was amended in March 2016, which significantly reduced our development commitment through March 2018. However, we will continue to provide sustained engineering and technical support for the ~~public sector~~public-sector functionality within Dynamics AX.

Amortization of Customer and Trade Name Intangibles

Acquisition intangibles are composed of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired that is allocated to acquired software and customer and trade name intangibles. The remaining excess purchase price is allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. Amortization ~~of customer and trade name intangibles increased substantially from the comparable prior year periods due to the acquisition of NWS in November 2015.

The effective income tax rates for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% ~~primarily~~principally due to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises. The excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises realized were $10.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Excluding the excess tax benefits, the effective rates were 38.2% for both periods. Other differences from our federal statutory income tax rate included state income taxes, non-deductible ~~share-based compensation expense,~~business expenses, and the ~~qualified manufacturing~~tax benefit of the domestic production activities ~~deduction and non-deductible meals and entertainment costs.~~deduction. The effective income tax rate for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016, increased~~March 31, 2017, decreased compared to the prior year period mainly due to higher ~~non-deductible share-based compensation.~~

~~In the past few years a relatively high amount of~~ excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises have resulted in a reduction in our qualified manufacturing activities deduction. The qualified manufacturing activities deduction can be limited to a certain level of taxable income on the tax return. Therefore any significant items that reduce taxable income, such as excess tax benefits on stock options, can reduce the amount of the qualified manufacturing activities deduction. It is possible that significant excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises for the remainder of the year could reduce the qualified manufacturing activities deduction. A reduction in the qualified manufacturing activities deduction could result in a higher effective tax rate. The excess tax benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, were $12.1 million and $18.8 million, respectively, and did not materially impact the tax rate.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~23.3~~$63.7 million compared to ~~$33.1~~$36.2 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. We also had ~~$34.0~~$33.5 million invested in investment grade corporate and municipal bonds as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. These investments mature between ~~2016~~ 2017 through early-2019 and ~~mid-2018 and~~ we intend to hold these investments until ~~maturity~~. maturity. As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we had ~~$34.0 million in outstanding borrowings and~~ two outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.2 million. We do not believe the letters of credit will be required to be drawn upon. These letters of credit expire in mid-2017. We believe our cash from operating activities, revolving line of credit, cash on hand and access to the capital markets provides us with sufficient flexibility to meet our long-term financial needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities continues to be our primary source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures. Other potential capital resources include cash on hand, public and private issuances of debt or equity securities, and bank borrowings. It is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets in the future may be limited by economic conditions or other factors. We currently believe that cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand and available credit are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, income tax obligations, and share repurchases for at least the next twelve months.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, operating activities provided cash of $~~121.2~~$48.2 million. Operating activities that provided cash were primarily comprised of net income of ~~$58.2~~$32.3 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization charges of ~~$37.5~~$13.1 million and non-cash share-based compensation expense of ~~$21.3~~$8.7 million. ~~Other sources of operating~~Working capital, excluding cash, ~~were higher~~increased approximately $5.9 million due the decline in deferred revenue balances, ~~due to growth in our installed software maintenance customer base and growth in subscription-based arrangements and~~the timing of payments ~~for wages. Slightly offsetting these~~related to bonuses, and the deferred taxes associated with stock option activity during the period. These increases were offset by collections of annual maintenance ~~and subscription~~renewal billings that are billed in the fourth quarter, as well as ~~milestone billings for several contracts.~~

the timing of income tax payments.

In general, changes in deferred revenue are cyclical and primarily driven by the timing of our maintenance renewal billings. Our renewal dates occur throughout the year, but our largest renewal billing cycles occur in the second and fourth quarters. However, we recorded a significant amount of new software license arrangements in 2015 and 2016, which is a factor in maintenance growth. The related maintenance billings for these new arrangements were processed at various times throughout year, rather than on our normal maintenance billing cycles, which slightly altered our typical deferred revenue cycle in 2015 and 2016. In addition, subscription renewals are billed throughout the year.

Our days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 8774 days at ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, compared to ~~100~~93 days at December 31, ~~2015~~2016 and 7769 days at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016. Our maintenance billing cycle typically peaks at its highest level in June and second highest level in December of each year and is followed by collections in the subsequent quarter. As a result our DSO is usually lower in the first quarter than the fourth quarter. DSO is calculated based on quarter-end accounts receivable divided by the quotient of annualized quarterly revenues divided by 360 days.

Investing activities used cash of ~~$42.8~~$20.1 million in the ~~nine~~three months ending ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017. Approximately $19.8 million was invested in property and equipment. We purchased an office building in Latham, New York, for approximately $2.9 million and paid $4.9 million for construction to expand a building in Yarmouth, Maine. We plan to spend approximately $18.7 million in 2017 in connection with the completion of the Yarmouth office expansion and approximately $5.0 million for the purchase and renovation for the Latham office building. The remaining additions were for computer equipment, furniture and fixtures in support of internal growth, particularly with respect to data centers supporting growth in our cloud-based offerings.

Investing activities used cash of $22.2 million in the three months ending March 31, 2016. Approximately ~~$29.5~~$16.7 million was invested in property and equipment. We purchased an office building in Falmouth, Maine, that was previously leased from an entity owned by an ~~executive’s~~executives’ father and brother, for approximately $9.7 million and paid ~~$4.6 million for~~$493,000 to begin construction to expand a building in Yarmouth, Maine. ~~We plan to spend approximately $11.5 million in~~In March 2016, ~~and approximately $15.5 million in 2017 in connection with the completion of this office expansion.

Investing activities used cash of $59.4 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2015. On January 30, 2015, we made a $15.0 million investment in convertible preferred stock representing a 20% interest in Record Holdings Pty Limited. We also invested $29.4 million in investment grade corporate and municipal bonds maturing between 2015 and mid-2017. On May 29, 2015, we paid $6.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired and including debt assumed, to acquire all of the capital stock of Brazos. The remaining ~~use of cash was~~additions were for ~~capital expenditures related to~~ computer equipment, furniture and fixtures in support of ~~internal growth.~~

Financing activities used cash of ~~$88.2 million~~$531,000 in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, and were comprised of purchases of treasury shares, net borrowings from our revolving line of credit and proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017, we purchased 42,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.2 million at an average price paid per share of $147.30.

Financing activities used cash of $16.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cash used by financing activities was comprised of purchases of treasury shares, net borrowings from our revolving line of credit and proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we purchased 758,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $94.5 million, of which $567,000 was accrued at ~~an average price paid per share of $124.75.~~

~~In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, financing activities provided cash of $21.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and were comprised of $11.7 million~~March 31, 2016.

We had authorization from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity and $10.8 million excess tax benefit from exercises of share-based arrangements. We also purchased approximately 5,400 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $645,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

~~On May 11, 2016,~~ our board of directors ~~authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.5 million shares of Tyler common stock and as a result we had authorization~~ to repurchase up to ~~2.1~~2.0 million additional shares of Tyler common stock as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017. The repurchase program, which was approved by our board of directors, was announced in October 2002, and was amended at various times from 2003 through 2016. There is no expiration date specified for the authorization, and we intend to repurchase stock under the plan from time to time.

We made tax payments of ~~$25.0 million~~$161,000 in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, compared to tax payments of ~~$27.2 million~~$71,000 in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2015.~~

~~Excluding acquisitions, we~~March 31, 2016.

We anticipate that ~~2016~~2017 capital spending will be between ~~$40.0~~$53.0 million and ~~$42.0~~$55.0 million. Capital spending includes ~~$9.7~~approximately $18.7 million ~~paid in March~~ for the Yarmouth office expansion and approximately $5.0 million for the purchase and renovation of an office building in ~~Falmouth, Maine, and approximately $11.0 million of additional funds we plan to spend to expand an office building in Yarmouth, Maine.~~Latham, New York. We expect the remaining capital spending will consist primarily of computer equipment and software for infrastructure replacements and expansion. We currently do not expect to capitalize significant amounts related to software development in ~~2016,~~2017, but the actual amount and timing of those costs, and whether they are capitalized or expensed, may result in additional capitalized software development. Capital spending is expected to be funded from existing cash balances, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving line of credit.

From time to time we engage in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. In order to consummate any such opportunities, which could require significant commitments of capital, we may incur debt or issue potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to our future acquisitions and how such acquisitions may be financed.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates.

As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we had ~~$34.0 million in~~no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at Tyler’s option, at a per annum rate of either (1) the Wells Fargo Bank prime rate (subject to certain higher rate determinations) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.00% or (2) the 30, 60, 90 or 180-day LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, our effective average interest rate for borrowings was ~~1.8%~~2.03%. As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, our interest rate was ~~1.8%.~~4.04% under the Wells Fargo Bank prime rate and 2.23% under a 30-day LIBOR contract. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Other than routine litigation incidental to our business, there are no material legal proceedings pending to which we are party or to which any of our properties are subject.

~~ITEM 1A.~~

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, one should carefully consider the discussion of various risks and uncertainties contained in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our ~~2015~~2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe those risk factors are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made by us. Please note, however, that those are not the only risk factors facing us. Additional risks that we do not consider material, or of which we are not currently aware, may also have an adverse impact on us. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed if any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs or materializes. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline, and our shareholders may lose all or part of their investment. During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017, 2016, there were no material changes in the information regarding risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~
