þ
    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Ebix, Inc. (the “Company”) recently changed its independent registered public accounting firm and as a result the auditors required additional time to complete their review of the Company’s Form 10-K. The additional time required by the auditors to complete their review has delayed the Company’s completion of its Form 10-K and caused it to be unable to file its report within the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company anticipates that it will be able to complete the audit in time to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 prior to the reporting deadline provided by this extension.

The Company estimates that there will be an increase of approximately $16 million in the operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 from the $12.8 million in operating income reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to the integration of several acquisitions made during 2008 in combination with the continued growth in software and services revenues from existing domestic and international operations.
