ONLINE RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The Company currently operates in two business segments - Banking and eCommerce.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2009. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), Business Combinations, (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change the way the Company accounts for business combinations. The more significant changes under SFAS No. 141(R) included the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. The standard also requires more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and contingent liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will affect the income tax provision. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2009 and adoption did not have an immediate impact on the Company.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, (“SFAS No. 160”), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require 1) non-controlling interests held by non-parent parties to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separate from the parent’s equity and 2) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. SFAS No. 160 also requires consistent reporting of any changes to the parent’s ownership while retaining a controlling financial interest, as well as specific guidelines over how to treat the deconsolidation of controlling interests and any applicable gains or losses. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2009 and the standard currently does not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

6


 

     On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), for financial assets and liabilities. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the standard specifies that the fair value should be the exit price, or price received to sell the asset or liability as opposed to the entry price, or price paid to acquire an asset or assume a liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those that are disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted a portion of this standard on January 1, 2008 and the remainder on January 1, 2009 and the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity, do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and accordingly this new standard improves the transparency of financial reporting. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. This standard encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2009.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP No. 142-3”). This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s entity-specific factors. FSP No. 142-3 is effective beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The company adopted this standard on January 1, 2009 and the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ), which is a hierarchy of authoritative accounting guidance. The current GAAP hierarchy is included in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Confirmation with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The new statement is explicitly and directly applicable to preparers of financial statements as opposed to being directed to auditors and will not result in a change in current practice. The new statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the GAAP hierarchy from auditing standards, where it has resided for some time.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60, which requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event); when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. The standard currently does not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (FSP No. 157-3). FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active. The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP No. 157-3 and determined that the impact was not material on estimated fair values as of March 31, 2009.
2. SENIOR SECURED NOTES
     The Company has an agreement with Bank of America which finances its senior secured notes (“2007 Notes”). The agreement also provides a $15 million revolver (“Revolver”) under which the Company can secure up to $5 million in letters of credit. Currently, there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolver, but available credit under the Revolver has been reduced by approximately $1.6 million as a result of letters of credit the bank has issued. The Company has made principal payments of $3.2 million on the 2007 Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2009, reducing the outstanding principal from $75.4 million to $72.2 million. The Company will make principal payments each quarter until the 2007 Notes are due in 2012 as noted in the table below.

7


 

     The interest rate on both the Revolver and the 2007 Notes is the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 225 to 275 basis points based upon the ratio of the Company’s funded indebtedness to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA,” as defined in the 2007 Notes), and it is payable monthly. During the first three months of 2009, the margin was 250 basis points and the average interest rate was 2.95%. The 2007 Notes and the Revolver are secured by the assets of the Company.
     Maturities of long-term debt for each of the next 3.75 years are as follows (in thousands):
         
    Maturing
Year   Amounts
2009 (April 1, 2009-December 31, 2009)

2011
  $ 32,938

  $ 9,562  
3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy
     On March 30, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (“2007 Hedge”) that protected the cash flows on designated one-month LIBOR-based interest payments beginning on April 3, 2007 through July 31, 2009. The counter party for the 2007 Hedge became insolvent during the third quarter of 2008. As such, the Company declared the 2007 Hedge to have no fair value and the hedge was terminated.
     On October 17, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a large commercial bank, to effectively swap the one-month LIBOR interest rate for a fixed interest rate equal to 2.9% plus 225 to 275 basis points based upon the ratio of the Company’s funded indebtedness to its EBITDA, through December 31, 2009. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and any unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair market value of the hedge will be recorded in other comprehensive income until realized. The interest rate swap had a notional value of $72.2 million and $75.4 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the principal amounts outstanding on the 2007 Notes for each period. Subsequent notional amounts are equal to the outstanding principal at the end of each month. The fair market value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $1.2 million at March 31, 2009 and a liability of $1.5 million at December 31, 2008. The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2009 is the amount expected to be realized in earnings in the next nine months.
Theoretical Swap Derivative
     The Company bifurcated the fair market value of the embedded derivative associated with the Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) issued in conjunction with the Princeton eCom acquisition on July 3, 2006 in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The Company determined that the embedded derivative is defined as the right to receive a fixed rate of return on the accrued, but unpaid dividends and the variable negotiated rate, which creates a theoretical swap between the fixed rate of return on the accrued, but unpaid dividends and the variable rate actually accrued on the unpaid dividends. This embedded derivative is marked to market at the end of each reporting period through earnings and an adjustment to other assets in accordance with SFAS No. 133. There is no active market quote available for the fair value of the embedded derivative. Thus, management measures fair value of the derivative by estimating future cash flows related to the asset using a forecasted iMoney Net First Tier rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate adjusted for the historical spread for the estimated period in which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be outstanding.

4. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
     Pursuant to the restated certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Of these 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 75,000 shares have been designated Series A-1. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a redemption value of 115% of the face value of the stock, on or after seven years from the date of issuance, or July 3, 2013. The Company recognized $0.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, to adjust for the redemption value at maturity.
     Additionally, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a feature that grants holders the right to receive interest-like returns on accrued, but unpaid, dividends that accumulate at 8% per annum. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, $1.5 million of preferred stock accretion was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the 8% per annum cumulative dividends. The right to receive the accrued, but unpaid dividends is based on a variable interest rate, and as such the difference between the fixed and variable rate of returns is a theoretical swap derivative. The Company bifurcates this feature and accretes it to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock over the life of the security. For the three

9


 

months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $0.2 million and $0.1 million of preferred stock accretion expense was recognized for the theoretical swap derivative in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
     Finally, the cost to issue the Series A-1 Preferred Stock of $5.1 million is being accreted back to the redemption value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock through July 2013, and generated an additional $0.2 million of preferred stock accretion for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
5. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
     The Company manages its business through two reportable segments: Banking and eCommerce. The Banking segment’s market consists primarily of banks, credit unions and other depository financial institutions in the United States. The segment’s fully integrated suite of account presentation, bill payment, relationship management and professional services are delivered through the Internet. The eCommerce segment’s market consists of billers, card issuers, processors, and other creditors such as payment acquirers and very large online billers. The segment’s account presentation, payment, relationship management and professional services are distributed to these clients through the Internet.
     Factors used to identify the Company’s reportable segments include the organizational structure of the Company and the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s operating segments have been broken out based on similar economic and other qualitative criteria. The Company operates both reporting segments in one geographical area, the United States. The Company’s management assesses the performance of its assets in the aggregate, and accordingly, they are not presented on a segment basis.
     The Company changed the way it determines operating results of the business segments during the third quarter of 2008. Intangible asset amortization that previously had been unallocated is now allocated to the respective Banking or eCommerce segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $2.6 million of intangible asset amortization was reclassified from unallocated to the Banking and eCommerce segments. In addition, the Company allocated $1.9 million of system operations and other processing costs, included in costs of revenues, from the eCommerce segment to the Banking segment in the three months ended March 31, 2008, to reflect the change in the utilization of these resources.
     The results of operations from these reportable segments were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

6. INVESTMENTS
     Approximately $0.8 million of the Company’s investment (“investment”) in the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (the “Fund”) at March 31, 2009 is expected to liquidate over the next twelve months. This portion of the investment is classified in short-term investments at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the investment, or $0.6 million, is expected to liquidate beyond twelve months and as such this portion of the Fund is classified in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
     The value of the investment was $1.4 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received $0.6 million in liquidation payments from the Fund administrator and realized a gain of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 related to the investment in the Fund and liquidation, as other expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
     The value of the Company’s investment in the Fund may fluctuate based on changes in market values of the securities held in the Fund. To the extent the Company determines there is an increase or decrease in fair value, the Company may recognize additional unrealized losses in future periods.
7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
     At March 31, 2009, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company used the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, to recognize compensation costs; which include (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The compensation expense for stock-based compensation was $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A portion of the stock based compensation cost has been capitalized as part of software development costs in accordance with Statements of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed . For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately $58,000 and $43,000, respectively, was capitalized as part of software development costs.
Stock Options
     The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula that uses the assumptions noted in the table and discussion that follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended
    March 31,
    2009   2008
Dividend yield
           
Expected volatility
    62 %     51 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.88 %     3.41 %
Expected life in years
    5.8       5.6  
     Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
     Expected Volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as a share price, has fluctuated (historical daily volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company uses the historical average daily volatility over the average expected term of the options granted to estimate expected volatility.
     Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the average U.S. Treasury rate for the week of each option grant during the period having a term that most closely resembles the expected term of the option.
     Expected Life of Option Term. Expected life of option term is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Options granted during the period have a maximum term of seven to ten years. The Company uses

11


 

historical expected terms, with further consideration given to the class of employees to whom the equity awards were granted, to estimate the expected life of the option term.
     Forfeiture Rate. Forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of equity awards granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates forfeiture rate based on past turnover data ranging anywhere from one to five years with further consideration given to the class of employees to whom the equity awards were granted.
     A summary of stock option activity under the 1989, 1999 and 2005 Plans as of March 31, 2009, and changes in the period then ended is presented below (in thousands, except exercise price and remaining contract term data):

    3,507     $ 5.69       4.27     $ 2,519  
 
                               
 
                               
Vested or expected to vest at March 31, 2009
    3,459     $ 5.70       4.24     $ 2,485  
Exercisable at March 31, 2009
    2,299     $ 5.93       3.31     $ 1,734  
     The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $1.95 and $5.83 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In the table above, the total intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price of the Company’s stock on the last trading day of the quarter and the exercise price of the options. For options exercised, intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price on the date of exercise and the grant price. The intrinsic value of options exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
     As of March 31, 2009, there was $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 1999 and 2005 Plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
     Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, net of shares repurchased for tax withholding purposes. The tax benefits related to the deductions from option exercises of the share-based payment arrangements will be recognized when those deductions, currently being carried forward as net operating losses, reduce taxes payable.
Restricted Stock Units
     A summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock units as of the three months ended March 31, 2009, and changes for the period then ended, is presented below (in thousands, except grant-date fair value data):
                 
            Weighted-
            Average
            Grant-Date
    Shares   Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2009
    786     $ 11.06  
Granted
    1,159     $ 3.44  
Vested
    (271 )   $ 11.33  
Forfeited
    (174 )   $ 11.92  
 
               
 
               
Non-vested at March 31, 2009
    1,500     $ 5.02  
 
               

12


 

     The fair value of non-vested units is determined based on the opening trading price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. As of March 31, 2009, there was $5.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the 2005 Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
8. INCOME TAXES
     The Company recorded income tax expense based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full year, adjusted for non-forecastable items recorded during the first quarter of 2009.
     The Company’s effective tax rate was 35.2% and 21.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The year over year change in the effective tax rate relates primarily to permanent differences and state taxes.
     The Company has determined that there have been no material changes in tax positions taken in the prior periods, tax positions taken in the current period, settlements with taxing authorities resulting from lapses in the statute of limitations and unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate and amount of interest and penalties recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
     The tax return years since 2000 in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions, both federal and various states, have not been audited and are not currently under audit. The Company does not have reason to expect any changes in the next twelve months regarding uncertain tax positions.
9. NET LOSS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS PER SHARE
     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss available to common stockholders per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
                 
    Three Months Ended

Net loss available to common stockholders per share:
               
Basic
  $ (0.05 )   $ (0.12 )
Diluted
  $ (0.05 )   $ (0.12 )
     Approximately 9,393,723 and 7,758,745 shares of common stock equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.
10. COMPONENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
     SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that items defined as comprehensive income (loss) be separately classified in the financial statements and that the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) be reported separately from accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. The

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), for financial assets and liabilities and on January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the standard specifies that the fair value should be the exit price, or price received to sell the asset or liability as opposed to the entry price, or price paid to acquire an asset or assume a liability.
     The standard provides valuation techniques and a fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three categories:
     (1) Level 1 inputs, which are considered the most reliable, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     (2) Level 2 inputs are those that are observable in the market place, either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.
     (3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable due to unavailability and as such the entity’s own assumptions are used.
     The tables below show how the Company categorizes certain financial assets and liabilities based on the types of inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value:

(1)   Includes the Company’s short and long-term investment in the Columbia Strategic Cash Fund (“the Fund”) that was converted to a net asset value basis in December 2007 primarily due to liquidity issues. The $0.6 million and $1.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, that are classified as long-term are primarily the fair market value for the Fund’s investments in certain asset backed securities and structured investment vehicles that are collateralized by sub-prime mortgage securities or related to mortgage securities. The multiple investments included in the Fund are no longer trading and therefore the prices are not observable in the marketplace. As such, fair value of the Fund is assessed through review of current investment ratings, as available, and evaluation of the liquidation value of assets held by each investment and their subsequent cash redemptions. This assessment from multiple indicators of fair value is then discounted to reflect the expected timing of disposition and market risks to arrive at an estimated fair value of the Fund.
 
(2)   Represents the fair market value of the embedded derivative associated with the Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock issued in conjunction with the Princeton eCom acquisition on July 3, 2006. Management measures fair value of the derivative by estimating future cash flows related to the asset using a forecasted iMoney Net First Tier rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate adjusted for the historical spread for the estimated period in which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be outstanding.
 
(3)   On October 17, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a large commercial bank, to effectively swap the one-month LIBOR interest rate for a fixed interest rate equal to 2.9%. The fair market value of the interest rate swap is measured using the discounted present value of the forecasted one month LIBOR, an observable market input.
     The following tables are summaries of the Company’s financial assets that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value (in thousands):

OVERVIEW
     We provide outsourced web- and phone- based financial technology services branded to financial institution, biller, card issuer and creditor clients and their millions of consumer end-users. End-users may access and view their accounts online and perform various self-service functions. They may also make electronic bill payments and funds transfers utilizing our unique, real-time debit architecture, ACH and other payment methods. Our value-added relationship management services reinforce a favorable user experience and drive a profitable and competitive online channel for our clients. Further, we provide professional services, including software solutions, which enable various deployment options, a broad range of customization and other value-added services. We currently operate in two business segments — Banking and eCommerce.
     Registered end-users using account presentation, payment services or both, and the payment transactions executed by those end-users are the major drivers of our revenues. Since March 31, 2008, the number of account presentation services users decreased by 18%, and the number of payment services users increased 12%, for an overall 2% increase in users. The decline in account presentation services users is primarily due to the departure of a card account presentation services client in the second quarter of 2008.

     We have long-term service contracts with most of our financial services provider clients. The majority of our revenues are recurring, though these contracts also provide for implementation, set-up and other non-recurring fees. Account presentation services revenues are based on either a monthly license fee, allowing our financial institution clients to register an unlimited number of customers, or a monthly fee for each registered customer. Payment services revenues are based on a monthly fee for each customer enrolled, a fee per executed transaction, or a combination of both. Our clients pay nearly all of our fees and then determine if or how they want to pass these costs on to their users. They typically provide account presentation services to users free of charge, as they derive significant potential benefits including account retention, delivery and paper cost savings, account consolidation and cross-selling of other products.
     As a network-based service provider, we have made substantial up-front investments in infrastructure, particularly for our proprietary systems. While we continue to incur ongoing development and maintenance costs, we believe the infrastructure we have built provides us with significant operating leverage. We continue to automate processes and develop applications that allow us to make only small increases in labor and other operating costs relative to increases in customers and transactions. We believe our financial and operating performance will be based primarily on our ability to leverage additional end-users and transactions over this relatively fixed cost base.
Results of Operations
     The following table presents the summarized results of operations for our two reportable segments, Banking and eCommerce. We changed the way we determine operating results of the business segments during the third quarter of 2008.

Intangible asset amortization costs that previously had been unallocated are now allocated to the respective Banking or eCommerce segments. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $2.6 million of intangible asset amortization was reclassified from unallocated to Banking and eCommerce segments. In addition, we allocated $1.9 million of system operations and other processing costs, included in costs of revenues, from the eCommerce segment to the Banking segment in the three months ended March 31, 2008, to reflect the change in the utilization of these resources.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
Revenues
     We generate revenues from account presentation, payment, relationship management and professional services and other revenues. Revenues remained unchanged compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the departure of two large clients in the first quarter of 2008.

(1)   In thousands
     Account Presentation Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to account presentation services revenues, which decreased 22%, or $0.5 million, to $1.8 million. The decrease is due to the departure of a large card account presentation services client in April 2008.
     Payment Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to payment services revenues, which decreased to $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $31.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was related to significant declines in interest rates which reduced float interest revenue by approximately $1.6 million and to the departure of a large payment services client in April 2008. The decrease in float interest was offset slightly by increased revenue related to transaction fees.
     Relationship Management Services. Primarily composed of revenues from the Banking segment, relationship management services revenues increased by $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2009, or 4%. Revenues increased as a result of increases in marketing program revenue.
     Professional Services and Other. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to professional services and other revenues, which increased $1.3 million, or 42%. Revenues from professional services and other fees primarily increased due to one-time professional services fees.

Notes:
 
(1)   In thousands except for per share amounts.
     Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues encompass the direct expenses associated with providing our services. These expenses include telecommunications, payment processing, systems operations, customer service, implementation and professional services work. Costs of revenues decreased by $0.1 million to $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $19.8 million for the same period in 2008.
     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and gross margin as a percentage of revenues remained unchanged at 50%. The gross profit increase is primarily due to professional service fees offset by the decline in float interest, which has no associated cost of revenue.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries for executive, administrative and financial personnel, consulting expenses and facilities costs such as office leases, insurance and depreciation. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 2%, to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to reduced salary and benefit expenses related to cost containment initiatives offset by costs incurred related to the proxy contest initiated by hedge fund Tennenbaum Capital Partners.

21


 

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and commissions paid to sales and client services personnel and other costs incurred in selling our services and products. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 10%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The primary reason for the decrease is reduced amortization expense of $0.5 million related to our customer lists.
     Systems and Development. Systems and development expenses include salaries, consulting fees and all other expenses incurred in supporting the research and development of new services and products and new technology to enhance existing products. Systems and development expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 20%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to lower use of consultants, lower salary and benefit expenses, related to cost containment initiatives, and higher capitalized costs.
     Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.6 million, or 362%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily due to lower salary and benefit expenses.
     Interest Income. Interest income decreased $0.2 million three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower average interest earning cash balances and lower average interest rates.
     Interest and Other Expense. Interest and other expense decreased by $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due primarily to an expense in the prior year period of $1.4 million and no expense in the current year period related to the mark-to-market valuation of the ITS price protection.
     Income Tax Provision (Benefit). We recognized tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as a result of $1.0 million of income before income taxes generated during the first quarter of 2009. Our effective tax rate for the period was 35.2%. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to permanent items and state taxes.
     Preferred Stock Accretion. The accretion related to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued on July 3, 2006 increased slightly, or 3%, primarily due to compounding of dividends.
     Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders. Net loss available to common stockholders decreased $2.0 million to a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Basic and diluted net loss available to common stockholders per share was $0.05 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $0.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Basic and diluted shares outstanding increased by 3% primarily as a result of shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock units and our employees’ participation in the employee stock purchase plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This represented a $9.1 million increase in cash provided by operating activities compared to the same prior year period, which was primarily the result of an increase in net income (loss) of $2.0 million, elimination of a change in consumer deposit receivable and payable of $2.3 million and an increase in changes in certain other assets and liabilities of $6.2 million partially offset by a decrease in the change in the fair value of the stock price protection of $1.4 million.
     Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1.7 million, which was the result of capital expenditures of $2.3 million partially offset by $0.6 million in liquidation payments received from our investment in the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio Fund (the “Fund”).
     Net cash used by financing activities was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which was primarily the result of a principal payment on our 2007 Notes of $3.2 million partially offset by $0.2 million in payments received from the issuance of common stock.
     We have incurred approximately $0.8 million in expenses related to a proxy contest initiated by hedge fund Tennenbaum Capital Partners (“Tennenbaum”), and we expect to incur additional proxy-related expenses in the second quarter.
     Approximately $0.8 million of our investment (“investment”) in the Fund is expected to liquidate over the next twelve months. This portion of the investment is classified in short-term investments at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the investment, or $0.6 million, is expected to liquidate beyond twelve months and as such this portion of the remaining balance in the Fund is classified in long-term other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The value of the investment was $1.4 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,

22


 

respectively. We adjusted the investment in the Fund to its estimated fair value at March 31, 2009. In addition, we received $0.6 million in liquidation payments from the Fund administrator during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
     Given continuing economic uncertainty and interest rate volatility, we could experience unforeseeable impacts on our results of operations, cash flows, ability to meet debt and other contractual requirements, and other items in future periods. While there can be no guarantees as to outcome, we have developed a contingent plan to address the negative effects of these uncertainties, if they occur.
     Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including our need to finance any future acquisitions, the timing of research and product development efforts and the expansion of our marketing effort. We expect to continue to expend significant amounts on expansion of facility infrastructure, ongoing research and development, computer and related equipment, and personnel.
     We currently believe that cash on hand, investments and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital beyond the amounts currently forecasted by us will not be required or that any such required additional capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, at such time as required.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We invest primarily in short-term, investment grade, marketable government, corporate, and mortgage-backed debt securities. Our interest income is most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and given the short-term nature of our investments, our exposure to interest rate risk is not material. We do not have operations subject to risks of foreign currency fluctuations, nor do we use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
     We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes as they affect our outstanding senior secured notes, or 2007 Notes. The interest rate on our 2007 Notes varies based on LIBOR and, consequently, our interest expense could fluctuate with changes in the LIBOR rate through the maturity date of the senior secured note. On October 17, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, swapping the one-month LIBOR interest rate for a fixed interest rate equal to 2.9% through December 31, 2009. This interest rate swap has a notional value equal to the outstanding principal of the 2007 Notes at the end of each month.
     We earn interest (float interest) in clearing accounts that hold funds collected from end-users until they are disbursed to receiving merchants or financial institutions. The float interest we earn on these clearing accounts is considered in our determination of the fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for our services. As such, the float interest earned is classified as payment services revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This float interest revenue is exposed to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates as it relates to the balances of these clearing accounts. The float interest totaled $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. If there was a change in interest rates of one percent as of March 31, 2009, revenues associated with float interest would have increased or decreased by approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
     Approximately $0.8 million of our investment in the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio (the “Fund”) is expected to liquidate over the next twelve months and as such this portion of the Fund is classified in short-term investments at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the Fund, or $0.6 million, is expected to liquidate beyond twelve months and as such this portion of the Fund is classified in long-term other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
     The value of the investment was $1.4 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We adjusted the Fund to its estimated fair value at March 31, 2009. In addition, we received $0.6 million in liquidation payments from the Fund administrator during the three months ended March 31, 2009. There may be further decreases in the value of the Fund based on changes in market values of the securities held in the Fund. To the extent we determine there is a further decline in fair value, we may recognize additional unrealized losses in future periods.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     (a) As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).
