EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL

Organization

Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Euronet”) is an industry leader in processing secure electronic financial transactions in three principal operating segments. Euronet’s EFT Processing Segment provides end-to-end solutions relating to operations of automated teller machine (“ATM”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) networks, and debit and credit card processing in Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The epay Segment is one of the world’s largest providers of “top-up” services for prepaid products, primarily prepaid mobile airtime, distributing these products in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, North America and South America. The Money Transfer Segment is comprised primarily of the Company’s RIA Envia, Inc. (“RIA”) subsidiary and its operating subsidiaries, which is one of the largest global money transfer companies based upon revenues and volumes. The Money Transfer Segment provides services through a sending network of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America and Europe, disbursing money transfers through a worldwide correspondent network. See Note 9, Segment Information, for additional information about the Company’s operating segments.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2009, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. ASU 2009-13 adds estimated selling price as acceptable evidence of fair value of undelivered products and services in revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Estimated selling price can be used if there is no vendor specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of fair value. Additionally, ASU 2009-13 eliminates the use of the residual method of allocating revenue and establishes the relative selling price method as the appropriate means to allocate revenue to each deliverable of an arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not materially affect the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Money transfer settlement obligations

Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of amounts owed by Euronet to money transfer recipients. As of September 30, 2010, the Company’s money transfer settlement obligations were $33.2 million.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for any potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures, shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations, restricted stock and options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding			50,872,551				50,560,371				50,862,725				50,426,113
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options and restricted stock			666,599				1,346,531				822,988				780,250
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding			51,539,150				51,906,902				51,685,713				51,206,363

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 2,360,000 and 2,350,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and of approximately 954,000 and 1,878,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

The Company has convertible debentures that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share, if dilutive, the impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the debentures would be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock have been met. The Company’s 3.50% debentures are convertible into 4.3 million shares of common stock only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. Under the if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 3.50% debentures was anti-dilutive for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The Company’s remaining 1.625% convertible debentures outstanding were repurchased in January 2010 and the assumed conversion of the then-outstanding debentures was anti-dilutive for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009.

(4) ACQUISITIONS

Effective September 1, 2010, the Company acquired 98.8% of the common stock of Telecomnet, Inc. and its wholly-owned Brazilian operating subsidiary, which expands the Company’s epay operations into South America. The purchase price of approximately $44.5 million consists of $39.5 million paid from cash on hand and the $5.0 million fair value of contingent consideration. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company may be required to pay the sellers additional consideration contingent upon the level of earnings achieved by Telecomnet, Inc. for 2010. Additionally, $4.9 million in cash is being held in escrow to secure certain obligations of the sellers under the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement. As of October 29, 2010, the Company executed a short-form merger, which effectively increased its ownership percentage to 100%. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company also acquired the net assets of a U.S.-based money transfer company for approximately $1.0 million in cash. The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired net assets at the respective acquisition dates, which remain preliminary while management completes its valuation of the fair values of the net assets acquired:

(dollar amounts in thousands)		Estimated Life
Current assets						$	33,831
Property and equipment		3 - 5 years					3,564
Customer relationships		8 years					11,492
Trademarks and trade names		2 years					837
Non-compete agreements		2 years					390
Goodwill		Indefinite					25,871
Other non-current assets							74
Fair value of assets							76,059
Current liabilities							(24,010	)
Deferred income tax liability							(4,945	)
Other non-current liabilities							(1,134	)
Fair value of net assets							45,970
Noncontrolling interest							(538	)
Net assets acquired						$	45,432

Gain on dispute settlement

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company reached a settlement regarding a dispute with the sellers of RIA Envia, Inc. (“RIA”). The Company received 226,634 shares of Euronet stock that had been held in escrow related to the RIA acquisition. The $3.5 million fair value of the shares on the date of settlement was recorded as an addition to treasury stock and $3.1 million, net of settlement costs, was recorded as a non-operating gain.

(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company sold Euronet Essentis Limited (“Essentis”), a U.K. software entity, in order to focus its investments and resources on its transaction processing businesses. Accordingly, Essentis’s results of operations are shown as discontinued operations in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Previously, Essentis’s results were reported in the EFT Processing Segment. The segment results in Note 9, Segment Information, also reflect the classification of Essentis’s results in discontinued operations. The following amounts related to Essentis have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations:

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(in thousands)		September 30, 2009				September 30, 2009
Revenues		$	2,288			$	5,547
Income before income taxes		$	646			$	765
Net income		$	452			$	537

(6) GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

A summary of acquired intangible assets and goodwill activity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 is presented below:

		Acquired								Total
		Intangible								Intangible
(in thousands)		Assets				Goodwill				Assets
Balance as of December 31, 2009		$	112,948			$	504,650			$	617,598
Increases (decreases):
Acquisitions			12,719				25,871				38,590
Amortization			(17,066	)			—				(17,066	)
Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates)			(3,349	)			(11,823	)			(15,172	)
Balance as of September 30, 2010		$	105,252			$	518,698			$	623,950

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of September 30, 2010, is expected to total $23.4 million for 2010, $21.4 million for 2011, $18.8 million for 2012, $14.0 million for 2013, $11.2 million for 2014 and $6.1 million for 2015.

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter. The Company’s annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted in the Company recording an estimated non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $219.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to its RIA money transfer business and its Spanish prepaid business. The Company completed the impairment testing in the first quarter of 2009 and recorded an additional non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $8.8 million and a $1.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to a money transfer intangible asset in the first quarter of 2009. The annual impairment test completed in the fourth quarter of 2009 resulted in no impairment charges.

Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change, which may result in the Company recording additional material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

(7) DEBT OBLIGATIONS

In January 2010, the Company elected to redeem the remaining $1.2 million of outstanding 1.625% debentures at par. Contractual interest expense for the 1.625% convertible debentures was $1 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Contractual interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.7 million and discount accretion was $0.6 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The effective interest rate was 1.625% for the period the debentures were outstanding during 2010 and 7.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The 3.50% convertible debentures had principal amounts outstanding of $175.0 million and unamortized discounts outstanding of $15.8 million and $21.1 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The discount will be amortized through

October 15, 2012. Contractual interest expense was $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the respective three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Discount accretion was $1.8 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $1.6 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The effective interest rate was 8.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

(8) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $49.5 million, primarily in euros and U.S. dollars, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average remaining maturity of 3.5 days. Although the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815. This is mainly due to the relatively short duration of the contracts, typically 1 to 14 days, and the frequency with which the Company enters into them. Due to the short duration of the contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to its foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company has an office lease in a foreign country that requires payment in a currency that is not the functional currency of either party to the lease or the Company’s reporting currency. Therefore, the lease contains an embedded derivative per ASC Topic 815 and its fair value is recorded in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreements were determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively converted $50 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements. The swap agreements required no payment by either party at their maturities.

(10) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s term loan due 2014 and revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest is based on London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments, based on quoted market prices or significant other observable inputs.

		As of
		September 30, 2010								December 31, 2009
		Carrying								Carrying
(in thousands)		Value				Fair Value				Value				Fair Value
3.50% convertible debentures, unsecured, due 2025			(159,177	)			(171,392	)			(153,927	)			(162,313	)
Foreign currency derivative contracts			(313	)			(313	)			36				36
Embedded derivative in foreign lease			(174	)			(174	)			(220	)			(220	)
1.625% convertible senior debentures, unsecured, due 2024			—				—				(1,227	)			(1,224	)

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant other observable inputs are the foreign currency derivative contracts and the embedded derivative in foreign lease. The Company values foreign currency derivative contracts using foreign currency exchange quotations for similar assets and liabilities. The embedded derivative in foreign lease is valued using present value techniques and foreign currency exchange quotations.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company finalized the assessment of the fair value of the goodwill related to its RIA money transfer business and its Spanish prepaid business and recorded an impairment charge of $8.8 million as discussed in Note 6, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net. The fair values were determined using significant unobservable inputs. The $258.8 million fair value of goodwill was determined by calculating its implied fair value as the excess of the fair value of the respective entity over the fair value of its net assets. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2009, management determined that an acquired intangible asset associated with a previous acquisition in the Money Transfer Segment had no value and, accordingly, the Company wrote off the remaining net book value of the intangible asset of $1.1 million.

(11) GUARANTEES

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $86.9 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $15.6 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks and $6.2 million are collateralized by trade accounts receivable.

Under certain circumstances, Euronet grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2010, the Company granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $20.6 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $28.9 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers.

From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following:

	•		In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damage to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2010, the balance of ATM network cash for which the Company was responsible was approximately $265 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;
	•		In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications;
	•		Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with vendors and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third-party claims arising from the Company’s use of the vendor’s product or the services of the vendor or consultant;
	•		In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer’s reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made;
	•		Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company’s benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third party claims relating to the carrying out of their respective duties under such agreements; and
	•		The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities.

The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

(12) INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rates for continuing operations were 25.1% and 30.4% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were 42.3% and 46.8% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates were significantly influenced by the foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the respective periods and by the gain on dispute settlement in the third quarter of 2010, the gain on sale of investment securities in the third quarter of 2009 and the goodwill and acquired intangible assets impairment charge in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding these items from pre-tax income, as well as the related tax effects for these items, the Company’s effective tax rates were 43.0% and 46.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 40.5% and 45.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The increase in the effective tax rate, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the applicable statutory rate of 35% is primarily related to the Company’s U.S. tax position. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal tax net operating losses as it is more likely than not that a

tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, the federal income tax benefit associated with pre-tax book losses generated by the Company’s U.S. entities has not been recognized in these periods. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 is lower than that of the third quarter of 2009 because a greater portion of the Company’s income was earned in countries with lower tax rates during the third quarter of 2010 than during the same period in 2009. Also contributing to the decrease in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was a $1.0 million adjustment to the reserve related to deferred tax assets generated from prior U.S. net operating losses and a $0.8 million adjustment related to a foreign tax law change recorded in the first nine months of 2010.

(13) CONTINGENCIES

In the second quarter of 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) served Continental Exchange Solutions, Inc. d/b/a RIA Financial Services (“CES”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with a grand jury subpoena requesting documents from CES and its affiliates in connection with an investigation into possible price collusion related to money transmission services to the Dominican Republic (“D.R.”) during the period from January 1, 2004 to the date of the subpoena. The Company acquired all of the stock of RIA Envia, Inc., the parent of CES, in April 2007. CES foreign exchange transactions between the U.S and the D.R. generated approximately 0.3% of the Company’s 2009 consolidated revenues. The Company and CES are fully cooperating with the DOJ in its investigation.

The Company believes that, during the period covered by the DOJ investigation, CES generally derived part of its charge for exchanging U.S. dollars into D.R. pesos from a reference rate recommended by ADEREDI, a trade association in the D.R. composed of a CES subsidiary and other D.R. money transfer firms. The Company further believes, however, that CES set its own service fee on the D.R. transactions and its overall transaction price to customers. Customers were also free during this time period to use CES and other firms to transmit dollars into the D.R., without conversion into D.R. pesos, and the Company believes such transmissions occurred with increasing frequency over the course of this time period.

At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the DOJ investigation, or, if charges were to be brought against CES, the possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any such charges. Nor can the Company predict any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition arising from such charges or potential collateral consequences, which could include fines, penalties, limitations on or revocation of CES’s license to engage in the money transfer business in one or more states, and civil liability. In addition, the Company has incurred and may continue to incur significant fees and expenses in connection with the DOJ investigation and related matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“Euronet” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a leading electronic payments provider. We offer payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Our primary product offerings include comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”) and card outsourcing services; electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products; and global consumer money transfer services. As of September 30, 2010, we operate in the following three principal operating segments:

	•		The EFT Processing Segment, which processes transactions for a network of 10,519 ATMs and approximately 56,000 POS terminals across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. We provide comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit and debit card outsourcing and electronic recharge services for prepaid mobile airtime. Through this segment, we also offer a suite of integrated electronic financial transaction (“EFT”) software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems.
	•		The epay Segment, which provides distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products and collection services for various prepaid products, cards and services. Including terminals operated by unconsolidated subsidiaries, we operate a network of approximately 541,000 POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime top-up services in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
	•		The Money Transfer Segment, which provides global consumer-to-consumer money transfer and bill payment services through a sending network of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America and Europe, disbursing money transfers through a worldwide correspondent network. The Money Transfer Segment originates and terminates transactions through a network of approximately 104,900 locations, which include sending agents and Company-owned stores, and an extensive correspondent network in more than 120 countries. Bill payment services are offered primarily in the U.S.

We have six processing centers in Europe, two in Asia Pacific and two in North America. We have 26 principal offices in Europe, seven in North America, six in Asia Pacific, one in South America and one in the Middle East. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 77% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations.

SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW

Euronet earns revenues and income based on ATM management fees, transaction fees and commissions, professional services, software licensing fees and software maintenance agreements. Each operating segment’s sources of revenue are described below.

EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 19% of total consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2010, are derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, as well as fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to banks for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing agreements. Through our proprietary network, we generally charge fees for four types of ATM transactions: i) cash withdrawals, ii) balance inquiries, iii) transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer did not give authorization, and iv) prepaid telecommunication recharges. Revenues in this segment are also derived from license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for software and sales of related hardware. Software license fees are the fees we charge to license our proprietary application software to customers. Professional service fees consist of charges for customization, installation and consulting services to customers. Software maintenance revenues represent the ongoing fees charged for maintenance and support for customers’ software products. Hardware sales are derived from the sale of computer equipment necessary for the respective software solution.

epay Segment — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 57% of total consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2010, are primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from telecommunications service providers for the sale and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime. We also generate revenues from commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic payment products. Due to certain provisions in our mobile phone operator agreements, the operators have the ability to reduce the overall commission paid on each top-up transaction. However, by virtue of our agreements with retailers (distributors where POS terminals are located) in certain markets, not all of these reductions are absorbed by us because we are able to pass a significant portion of the reductions to retailers. Accordingly, under certain retailer agreements, the effect is to reduce revenues and reduce our direct operating costs resulting in only a small impact on gross profit and operating income. In some markets, reductions in commissions can significantly impact our results as it may not be possible, either contractually or commercially in the concerned market, to pass a reduction in commissions to the retailers. In Australia, certain retailers negotiate directly with the mobile phone operators for their own commission rates, which also limits our ability to pass through reductions in commissions. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the success of our business. These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the mobile operators’ customers. Other

products offered by this segment include prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, prepaid gift cards, prepaid vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, money transfer and prepaid content such as music and games.

Money Transfer Segment — Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 24% of total consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2010, are primarily derived from charging a transaction fee and retaining the difference between the price of foreign currency purchased at wholesale exchange rates and sold to consumers at retail exchange rates. We have an origination network in place comprised of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America and Europe and a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Origination and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services. These fees are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

EFT Processing Segment - The continued expansion and development of our EFT Processing Segment business will depend on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

	•		the impact of competition by banks and other ATM operators and service providers in our current target markets;
	•		the demand for our ATM outsourcing services in our current target markets;
	•		the ability to develop products or services to drive increases in transactions;
