John D. Curtis Attorney Jim D. Kever Partner – Voyent Partners LLC John M. Shay, Jr. President – Fairway Consulting LLC John E. Stokely President – JES, Inc. LLC From the President The world is embracing electronic payments, as evidenced by continued steady growth in transaction volumes. For TSA, 2006 represented a trans- formational year in preparing us to leverage the opportunities ahead. We drove top line revenue growth of 11 percent at the same time we invested in the business for growth and globalization and worked to integrate our strategic acquisitions. We ended the year with more than $110 million in cash and cash equivalents and had an unused borrowing capacity of $75 million in a senior revolving credit facility. With strong cash ﬂ ows and a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned for strategic opportunities. At the start of 2006, we consolidated what had been three independent operating units to help drive efﬁ ciencies and better leverage the power of the ACI Worldwide brand. This integration began to pay dividends during the year, as we built on our reputation in retail payments to license our ﬁ rst ACI Wholesale Payments System in Europe in several years. A primary element of our vision revolves around payment systems conver- gence, or the reuse of common payment functions, to help our customers improve productivity. During 2006, consultants at GartnerGroup and Financial Insights noted TSA’s unique ability to help clients improve their efﬁ ciency through converged payment systems. With our global reach and end-to-end offerings, we act as the honest broker for banks, retailers and processors who require gold-standard solutions that can be leveraged across the enterprise.

Clearly much of TSA’s future growth potential lies in international markets. Continued globalization of our corporate infrastructure will be an important factor in our ability to grow as efﬁ ciently as possible. In 2006 we established a company in Shannon, Ireland, to become the coordinating entity for housing our international intellectual property and offshore development activities. Irish tax structures and intellectual property protec- tions make it an excellent location for an operation of this type, and we join other technology companies like Microsoft and IBM in taking advantage of this structure. The international intellectual property for BASE24-eps is now housed in the Irish entity. One of TSA’s clear differentiators is the breadth of our electronic payments solutions. In late 2006 we acquired P&H Solutions. P&H expands our wholesale payments offering with their acclaimed Enterprise Banker solution. In addition, their success as an application service provider will now form the basis for our overall “software as a service” strategy. In addition to continuing to drive growth from the core P&H business, we will seek to take their solutions to international markets while we leverage their well-developed infrastructure and skills to offer more of our solutions on a services basis. We made some key management changes during 2006. In addition to the talent we added through acquisitions, we were fortunate to bring on Henry Lyons as our new CFO and Craig Maki to lead corporate development. Henry and Craig bring valuable experience to the management team and will play important roles in our growth and globalization strategies. Both are located in our New York corporate headquarters ofﬁ ce. Finally, we appointed Mark Vipond as chief operating ofﬁ cer for TSA. Mark has been with the company since 1985. His expanded role in leading our new ACI Global Solutions product and services organization is well-deserved. As we ended ﬁ scal 2006, we announced a plan to rebrand the corporation under the ACI Worldwide name. This move will leverage a trusted brand and reﬂ ect our transition to a single operating company and global infrastructure. Subsequently we announced the completion of our voluntary review of historical stock option grants and the resulting non-cash adjustments to historical ﬁ nancials. With the completion of the review, we will soon be back to a regular reporting schedule. We are pleased to have the legacy issues of the stock options review and the class action lawsuit behind us as we enter the new year. Finally, we announced a shift to a December ﬁ scal year, which should better align us with our customers, peers and the capital markets, and we announced an increased authorization for our share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to date to $210 million. As we look ahead to 2007, we see continued growth opportunities for TSA. The combination of positive industry dynamics and our internal work to transform and reorganize the company for growth and globalization will serve us well. I appreciate the commitment and hard work of our staff around the world, both in terms of executing against our organic growth plans and integrating our strategic acquisitions. I am conﬁ dent that we can leverage our differentiated capabilities to create an even stronger company, and as always, I appreciate the continued support of our Another key element of our growth strategy revolves around acquisitions. During the past year, we fully integrated the operations of S2 Systems into ACI Worldwide. The acquisition brought us more than 100 active customers, an expanded presence in key regions like the Middle East, and additional talent in open systems-based payment solutions. We conducted a market study in 2006 with Global Insight, Inc., a leading econometric forecasting company, to quantify the size of our potential market and highlight areas with signiﬁ cant growth potential. The ﬁ ndings showed that electronic payment volumes are expected to grow at roughly four times the growth in global gross domestic product over the next ﬁ ve years, a clear indication that our core market is expanding. The study also noted that Germany is the third largest electronic pay- ment systems market in the world. Historically TSA has had limited success in the region. To develop a foothold in this key market, we acquired eps Electronic Payment Systems AG, a leader in providing payments software in Germany. The eps acquisition brought us a leadership position in the country, expanded our pool of talented people, accelerated our offshore development activities with an operation in Romania, and brought us value-added solutions that we will drive through our global customers, partners and shareholders. distribution channel. We are well on our way to integrating eps’ operations into ACI Worldwide, and its founders have taken senior leadership roles in the company. Philip G.

Retail Transfers include ATM transactions. Wholesale Payments include large-value, automated clearing house and real-time gross settlements. TSA Strategy At the close of ﬁ scal 2006, a combination of market dynamics are creating continued demand for TSA solutions. First is the persistent worldwide growth in electronic payments. Transaction volumes are expected to double across the world through the end of the decade, with China and India doubling at a rate of every three and four years, respectively. As payment volumes climb, banks, retailers and processors are under pressure to minimize costs while supporting business growth. At the same time, regulatory pressure requires continued investment in payment systems to comply with mandates like triple DES, EMV, Faster Payments and SEPA, each intended to improve the security or efﬁ ciency of payments. TSA research shows that a sizable number of the world’s top banks continue to use in-house developed payment software. As these systems age, it becomes increasingly difﬁ cult to support volume growth, regula- tory impacts, and mergers and acquisitions. Many existing systems are becoming obsolete, unable to take advantage of modern technologies that enable reuse or convergence of software and skills across the enterprise. 2957_Inserts.indd 2 2957_Inserts.indd 2 4/27/07 3:11:20 PM 4/27/07 3:11:20 PM Another differentiator is our business model, which emphasizes recurring revenue tied to volume-sensitive licensing. This, combined with a strong customer retention rate, allows us to beneﬁ t from the steady, upward growth in electronic payments. The breadth of our offerings continues to set us apart, with products that span the payment value chain. No other provider can act as the single source for such a broad array of software, helping customers to reduce risk and simplify implementation of payment systems. TSA solutions continue to meet the demands of the world’s largest payment providers, with our BASE24 customers processing more than 75 billion retail payment transactions each year, while our wholesale banking customers process more than $5 trillion in an average day using our money transfer software. TSA’s strategy calls for continued globalization of our infrastructure to ensure we remain as cost-efﬁ cient as possible in responding to interna- tional demand for our solutions. With software development operations now established in Ireland and Romania, we’ve begun the investments to ensure we have skilled resources available and close to our customers in fast-growing markets. At the same time, we continue to make strategic acquisitions where those expand our solutions supply chain or our presence in key regions. Our recent acquisitions of eps and P&H are clear examples of our willingness to invest in this area. Through the addition of P&H, we can also accelerate our “software as a service” initiative. This allows us to leverage the P&H processing model to broaden our addressable market, enabling more customers to access world-class TSA software through alternatives to in-house deployment. The theme of convergence guides our product investment strategy, with a long-term vision that will see us increasingly integrate our software solutions in the name of productivity. By reusing common components, we yield software that is more efﬁ cient to enhance and maintain while helping customers deploy more ﬂ exible systems that drive down costs and improve productivity in their payments operation. We believe that TSA is uniquely positioned in this area, with a clearly articulated vision and tangible results that draw increasingly positive attention from industry analysts and editors. A ﬁ nal element of our business strategy emphasizes customer centricity. Our Global Solutions organization is structured with this in mind, ensuring that we leverage best practices on a global scale at the same time we place local resources where they can most effectively understand and respond to customer needs. Through ongoing satisfaction surveys, we continually reﬁ ne our processes to improve the quality of our products and services. The growth of electronic payments, regulatory impacts and the aging of payment systems combine to create demand for TSA solutions. In that environment, we possess unique and compelling qualities that set us apart from our competitors. We have a clearly focused strategy that emphasizes proﬁ table growth through an efﬁ cient, globalized infrastructure. We continue to expand our solution set and market presence through A perfect storm appears to be moving the “convergence” dialogue into early action: increasingly empowered “payment czars” inside the banks, increasingly urgent fraud and compliance concerns, robust electronic payment volume growth, limitations of existing platforms in servicing customers, and the cost and complexity of managing outdated and duplicative legacy systems. Payments News, 6 June 2006 Against this backdrop, TSA leverages important differentiators to capitalize on the demand for payment solutions. First is our unique collection of intellectual property and skills. Customer surveys consistently show that our products and our people represent our greatest strengths – our products for their reliability and performance, and our people for their knowledge and professionalism. Our global reach allows us to deliver and support TSA solutions in more than 80 countries. This gives us a uniquely broad view of the payments strategic acquisitions, at the same time we invest in products with an eye market, drives continual investment in our software, and insulates our toward convergence as a means of improving productivity. We made great business from regional economic trends. strides in transforming TSA during 2006 and look forward to continued growth in 2007 and beyond. 2957_Inserts.indd 3 2957_Inserts.indd 3 4/27/07 3:11:32 PM 4/27/07 3:11:32 PM Among the world’s top 500 banks 116 use ACI retail payment solutions 35 use ACI risk management software 22 use ACI money transfer software Among U.S. banks 52 of the top 100 use ACI retail payment solutions 12 of the top 25 use ACI enterprise banking solutions 14 of the top 25 use ACI money transfer software Among retailers 9 of the top 20 global retailers and 33 of the top 100 U.S. retailers use ACI software 2957_Inserts.indd 4 2957_Inserts.indd 4 4/27/07 3:25:47 PM 4/27/07 3:25:47 PM UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-K ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 Commission File Number 0-25346 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC.

The effects of these restatements are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 and each of the quarters in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and each of the quarters in fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Additionally, we have included in “Item 6. Selected Financial Data,” restated financial information for the fiscal years 2002 through 2005, and in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” restated financial fiscal years 2004 and 2005. See Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a the restatements. This Explanatory Note explains the detailed discussion of circumstances giving rise to the restatements and amendments. information for the effect of We initiated a review of our historical stock option granting practices following general public reports about option granting issues among public companies. Our review was self-initiated and not prompted by any inquiry from a regulatory body, a “whistleblower” or other source. On October 27, 2006, we publicly announced the voluntary internal review. The review was conducted by the audit committee of our board of directors with the assistance of special independent counsel and forensic accountants. On March 16, 2007, we publicly announced the completion and key results of the review, which are set forth in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on that date. The independent counsel and its forensic accountants reviewed approximately 80,000 pages of paper files and approximately 30,000 e-mails and electronic files, conducted interviews with current and former members of the board’s compensation committee, current and former directors, officers, employees and advisors, reviewed and tested the company’s option database, and also conducted an extensive review and analysis of facts and circumstances related to all stock option grants made from the date of our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in 1995 through fiscal 2006. The review indicated that our stock option granting practices from fiscal 1995 through fiscal 2002 were subject to control weaknesses and other deficiencies. As a result, a number of measurement date errors occurred in this period. Prior to 2003, based upon formal board action and informal consultations with board members, the CEO and CFO believed they had been delegated authority to carry out the employee option granting process. Generally, the CEO approved the numbers of options and recipients, while the CFO set the grant date, which determined the exercise price. In many instances, it appears that the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the grant date. The stock options granted by management were, at times, the subject of later board action. Although all options granted to the CEO and CFO were approved by the board of directors or compensation committee, the record of board action for other employee grants was inconsistent and incomplete; however, intentional the participants in this process, and these practices ended in 2002 misconduct on the part of (although adjustments to subsequent period financial statements are required for periods after 2002 under applicable accounting rules). In addition, based upon the turnover in executive management after 2002, the review concluded that our current CEO, CFO and general counsel were not involved in the option granting practices requiring the restatement of our prior period financial statements. the review indicated no evidence of We previously applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. Under APB Opinion No. 25, Compensation, 2 non-cash, stock based compensation expense should have been recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. Because a number of our options had exercise prices below the market prices on applicable measurement dates, there should have been charges for these options under APB Opinion No. 25 equal to the number of option shares, multiplied by the difference between the exercise prices and the market prices on the actual grant dates. These charges should have been amortized over the service periods of the options. Additionally, we determined that certain grants made prior to June 1, 2001 totaling 191,000 stock options should be accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under that method, charges and benefits are taken each reporting period to reflect increases and decreases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. Based on the records and findings of our voluntary review of historical stock option granting practices, we determined that we should restate our prior period financial statements to correct the measurement date errors and to account for any compensation charges associated with revised measurement dates. We applied the accounting standards then in effect to determine, for every grant, the proper compensation expense. Accordingly, we are recording in this report additional non-cash compensation expense and related tax effects over the relevant option service periods consistent with then-controlling accounting principles during such periods to the extent that the prices of our common stock on the actual measurement dates were higher than the prices on the previously recorded dates. The non-cash compensation expense in aggregate was $18.8 million, pretax, substantially all of which is recorded and recognized from fiscal 1995 through fiscal 2001. As concluded by the audit committee in its independent review, our stock option granting practices since late fiscal 2003 do not have similar control deficiencies of the historical stock option granting practices that gave rise to the restatement. For example, under the current practices, our board of directors and its compensation committee only act through meetings, and not by unanimous written consent, to take formal corporate action; our board and its compensation committee approve options contemporaneously on the date of grant, and not on a ratification basis; and only the compensation committee, not management, approves employee options and sets the terms. Commencing in fiscal 2004, our stock option administration function is supervised by our legal department. Additionally, our stock option granting processes are documented and tested as part of our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance programs. including (1) amendments to charters of Upon the completion of the review, our audit committee made certain recommendations to ensure that we continue to follow good corporate practices in connection with stock option administration, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee to reflect existing and possible additional measures regarding each committee’s role in our option granting process, (2) requiring written reports to our board on existing options procedures, (3) evaluating, with the assistance of outside advisors, additional best practices and other improvements in our option granting procedures, and (4) conducting training for all employees involved in the option granting process. We are in process of evaluating and implementing these recommendations. For more information and discussion of foregoing matters, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;” Note 2 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements; and Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures.” We do not intend to specifically amend any of our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatements.

BUSINESS General PART I Transaction Systems Architects, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and our subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TSA” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) develop, market, install and support a broad line of software products and services primarily focused on facilitating electronic payments. In addition to our own products, we distribute, or act as a sales agent for, software developed by third parties. These products and services are used principally by financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors, both in domestic and international markets. Most of our products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering three geographic regions — the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia/Pacific. Each distribution network has its own sales force and supplements this with independent reseller and/or distributor networks. Our products are marketed under the ACI Worldwide brand. financial is comprised of institutions, retailers, The electronic payments market third-party electronic payment processors, payment associations, switch interchanges and a wide range of transaction-generating endpoints, including automated teller machines (“ATM”), retail merchant locations, bank branches, mobile phones, corporations and Internet commerce sites. The authentication, authorization, switching, settlement and reconciliation of electronic payments is a complex activity due to the large number of locations and variety of sources from which transactions can be generated, the large number of participants in the market, high transaction volumes, geographically dispersed networks, differing types of authorization, and varied reporting requirements. These activities are typically performed online and are often conducted 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation in November 1993 under the name ACI Holding, Inc. and is largely the successor to Applied Communications, Inc. and Applied Communications Inc. Limited, which the Company acquired from Tandem Computers Incorporated on December 31, 1993. 5 Segment Information Historically, we reported our results in three operating segments: ACI Worldwide, Insession Technologies and Intranet Worldwide. On October 5, 2005, during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we announced a restructuring of our organization, combining products and services within these three business units into one operating unit under the ACI Worldwide name. In examining our market, opportunities and organization, management decided that combining the business units’ products and services provides us with a better structure to facilitate operating efficiency and strategic acquisition integration. As a result of this restructuring, our chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific. Our products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. We supplement our distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. As such, we have concluded that our three geographic regions are our reportable operating segments. Financial information for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 has been conformed to reflect the segment change. See Note 13, “Segment Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail. Acquisitions On July 29, 2005, we acquired the business of S2 Systems, Inc.

Competition The electronic payments market is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Competitive factors affecting the market for our products and services include product features, price, availability of customer support, ease of implementation, product and company reputation, and a commitment to continued investment in research and development. Our competitors vary by product line, geography and market segment. Generally, our most significant competition comes from in-house information technology departments of existing and potential customers, as well as third-party electronic payments processors (some of whom are ACI Worldwide customers). Many of than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Key competitors by product line include the following: these companies are significantly larger Retail Payment Engines The principal third-party software competitors for the Retail Payment Engines product line are eFunds Corporation and S1 Corporation, as well as small, regionally-focused companies such as OpenWay, Distra Pty Ltd. and CTL, Ltd. Primary electronic payment processing competitors in this area include global entities such as First Data Corporation, Fiserv, Metavante, Euronet, Visa and Mastercard, as well as regional or country-specific processors.

We work with interchange vendors, such as MasterCard and Visa, to ensure compliance with new regulations or processing mandates. We work with computer hardware and software manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Stratus Technologies, Inc. to ensure compatibility with new operating system releases and generations of hardware. Customers often provide additional information on requirements and serve as beta-test partners. Our total research and development expenses during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were revenues, $40.8 million, $39.7 million and $38.0 million, or 11.7%, 12.7% and 13.0% of respectively. total We develop new and enhanced versions of products in a number of product development locations. We have recently added product development facilities in Romania and Ireland to augment existing development staff and in anticipation of future personnel resource requirements to meet the needs of our product development efforts. We currently anticipate that these facilities will expanded to between 100 and 200 personnel within the next two years. Customers We provide software products and services to customers in a range of industries worldwide, with financial institutions, retailers and e-payment processors comprising our largest industry segments. As of September 30, 2006, our customers include 116 of the 500 largest banks in the world, as measured by asset size, and 33 of the top 100 retailers in the United States, as measured by revenue. As of September 30, 2006, we had 822 customers in 83 countries on six continents. Of this total, 452 are in the Americas region, 212 are in the EMEA region and 158 are in the Asia/Pacific region. No single 15 customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues during fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004. Selling and Marketing Our primary method of distribution is direct sales by employees assigned to specific regions or specific products. In addition, we use distributors and sales agents to supplement our direct sales force in countries where business practices or customs make it appropriate, or where it is more economical to do so. We generate a majority of our sales leads through existing relationships with vendors, direct marketing programs, customers and prospects, or through referrals. Key international distributors and sales agents for us during fiscal 2006 included: • PTESA (Colombia) • PTESAVEN (Venezuela) • North Data (Uruguay) • Hewlett-Packard Peru (Peru) • P.T. Abhimata Persada (Indonesia) • Financial Software and Systems, Ltd. (India) • HP Philippines (Philippines) • Korea Computer, Inc. (Korea) • DataOne Asia Co. Ltd (Thailand) • Syscom (Taiwan and China) • Stratasoft Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) To date during fiscal 2007, we have terminated three of the above distribution relationships and established a direct distribution model in certain markets in the Asia-Pacific region. In January 2007, we gave notice of our intent to terminate certain distribution agreements with Financial Software and Systems, Ltd. which will become effective in July 2007. In addition, in connection with the establishment of a direct presence in the Philippine Islands, we terminated our distribution relationship with HP Philippines effective March 31, 2007. Also, on April 2, 2007, we acquired Stratasoft Sdn. Bhd., a distributor of our OCM 24 product within the Malaysian market, and effective upon the acquisition, our distribution relationship with Stratasoft ceased. We distribute the products of other vendors as complements to our existing product lines. We are typically responsible for the sales and marketing of the vendor’s products, and agreements with these vendors generally provide for revenue sharing based on relative responsibilities. In addition to our principal sales office in Omaha, we also have sales offices located outside the United States in Athens, Bahrain, Buenos Aires, Dubai Internet City, Frankfurt, Gouda, Johannesburg, Madrid, Melbourne, Mexico City, Milan, Moscow, Naples, Paris, Riyadh, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, and Watford. Proprietary Rights and Licenses We rely on a combination of trade secret and copyright laws, license agreements, contractual provisions and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary rights. We distribute our software products under software license agreements that typically grant customers nonexclusive licenses to 16 the software products is usually restricted to designated computers, use the products. Use of specified locations and/or specified capacity, and is subject to terms and conditions prohibiting unauthorized reproduction or transfer of the software products. We also seek to protect the source code of our software as a trade secret and as a copyrighted work. Despite these precautions, there can be no assurance that misappropriation of our software products and technology will not occur. In addition to our own products, we distribute, or act as a sales agent for, software developed by third parties. However, we typically are not involved in the development process used by these third parties. Our rights to those third-party products and the associated intellectual property rights are limited by the terms of the contractual agreement between us and the respective third-party. Although we believe that our owned and licensed intellectual property rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us. Further, protection will be available for our products in all foreign countries. there can be no assurance that Like many companies in the electronic commerce and other high-tech industries, third parties have in the past and may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to patent, copyright, technologies and related trademark or other intellectual property rights to business processes, standards that are relevant to us and our customers. These assertions have increased over time as a result of the general increase in patent claims assertions, particularly in the United States. Third parties may also claim that the third-party’s intellectual property rights are being infringed by our customers’ use of a business process method which utilizes products in conjunction with other products, which could result in indemnification claims against us by customers. Any claim against us, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product delivery delays, require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements or pay amounts in settlement, or require us to develop alternative non-infringing technology. We could also be required to defend or indemnify our customers against such claims. A successful claim by a third-party of intellectual property infringement by us or one of our customers could compel us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements, pay significant damages or even stop selling certain products and incur additional costs to develop alternative non-infringing technology. Foreign Operations We derive a significant portion of our revenues from foreign operations. For detail of revenue by Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial geographic region see Note 13, “Segment Statements. Employees As of September 30, 2006, we had a total of approximately 1,960 employees of whom 403 were in the Americas channel, 82 were in the Asia/Pacific channel, and 329 were in the EMEA channel. In addition, we had 905 employees in product development functions and 241 employees in corporate administration positions, finance, information systems, investor relations, internal audit and facility operations, providing supporting services to each of the regions. including executive management, legal, human resources, None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that relations with our employees are good. 17 Available Information to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are available free of charge on our website at www.tsainc.com as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such information electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 27, 2006, our Board of Directors concluded, after consultation with management, that based on the Audit Committee’s preliminary findings related to our historic stock option granting practices, our financial statements and all earnings releases and similar communications issued by us relating to financial periods since 1995 should not be relied upon. The restated financial statements included within this fiscal 2006 10-K address all of the issues related to these prior financial periods. The information found on our website is not part of this or any other report we file with or furnish to the SEC. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, Room 1580, NW, Washington DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Factors That May Affect Our Future Results or the Market Price of Our Common Stock We operate in a rapidly changing technological and economic environment that presents numerous risks. Many of these risks are beyond our control and are driven by factors that often cannot be predicted. The following discussion highlights some of these risks. We may face risks related to the restatement of our financial statements. We restated our consolidated financial statements, as more fully discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Note 2 “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” to the consolidated financial statements included in this 2006 10-K. We restated our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005, and our consolidated statements of operations, our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. In addition, we restated selected financial data for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002. Companies that restate their financial statements sometimes face litigation claims and/or SEC proceedings following such a restatement. We could face monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions which could adversely affect our financial condition and could cause our stock price to decline. Additionally, we estimate that we will incur approximately $6 million to $7 million of expense, primarily professional fees, related to the historical stock option review and management analysis, substantially all of which was or will be expensed in the first ($3 million) and second ($3 million) quarters of fiscal 2007, and the remainder thereafter. In addition to the approximate $6 million to $7 million of expense incurred, we estimate that we will incur cash outlays of approximately $7 million for the settlement of vested options that optionees are or were unable to exercise due to the option review and which would otherwise expire. The actual amount incurred with respect to the settlement of options depends on the number of options that will expire prior to our becoming current on our quarterly financial statements as well as the stock price used to calculate any settlement amount. In most cases, these settlements reduced our additional paid-in capital balance and reduced our fully diluted outstanding shares. While we do not believe that the restatements or the costs of the review have or will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future prospects, no assurance can be given that additional expense or legal claims will not arise in the future. 18 While we believe we have made appropriate judgments in determining the financial and tax impacts of the historic stock option practices, we cannot provide assurance that the SEC or the IRS will agree with the manner in which we have accounted for and reported, or not reported, the financial and tax impacts. If the SEC or the IRS disagrees with our financial or tax adjustments, and such disagreement results in material changes to our historical financial statements, we may have to further restate our prior financial statements, amend prior filings with the SEC, or take other actions not currently contemplated. We have postponed the filing of this 2006 10-K and of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. As a result, we do not have current financial information available and will be limited in our ability to register our securities for offer and sale until we are deemed a current filer with the SEC. As a result of the delayed filing of this 2006 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, there is a lack of current publicly-available financial information concerning us. Investors must evaluate whether to purchase or sell our securities in light of the lack of current financial information. We are not in a position to predict at what date all current financial information will be available. Accordingly, any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Until all current periodic reports and financial statements are filed, we will be precluded from registering our securities with the SEC for offer and sale. This precludes us from raising debt or equity financing in the public markets and will limit our ability to use stock options and other equity-based awards to attract, retain and provide incentives to our employees. As a result of the delays in filing our periodic reports, we required certain extensions in connection with the delivery of financial statements and related matters under financing arrangements for our bank debt. We may require additional extensions in the future, and failure to obtain the necessary extensions could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition. We have previously obtained certain extensions and may continue to seek additional extensions under our credit facilities. The extensions waive certain potential breaches of representations and covenants under our credit facilities and establish the extended deadlines for the delivery of certain financial reports. Our current extensions under the credit facilities expire on May 16, 2007 for our annual financial statements, the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter financial ended December 31, 2006 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our annual statements, and (ii) July 2, 2007, and the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, and (ii) August 16, 2007 and the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, and (ii) October 1, 2007. We may not be able to deliver our quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 within the extended period, which may impact whether we are able to file our quarterly results for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007 within the extended periods, and therefore, we may seek additional extensions under the credit facilities. Under our credit facilities, the lenders have the right to notify us if they believe we have breached a representation or covenant under the operative debt instruments and may declare an event of default. If one or more notices of default were to be given, we believe we would have various periods in which to cure such events of default or obtain necessary extensions. If we do not cure the events of default or obtain necessary extensions within the required time periods or certain extended time periods, the maturity of some of our debt could be accelerated and our ability to incur additional indebtedness could be restricted. Moreover, defaults under our bank loan agreements could trigger 19 cross-default provisions under those and other arrangements. There can be no assurance that any additional extensions will be received on a timely basis, if at all, or that any extensions obtained, including the extensions we have already obtained, will extend for a sufficient period of time to avoid an acceleration event, an event of default or other restrictions on our business operations. The failure to obtain such extensions could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition. The delay in filing this 2006 10-K on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 with the SEC and any failure to satisfy other NASDAQ listing requirements could cause the NASDAQ to commence suspension or delisting procedures with respect to our common stock. As a result of the delay in filing this annual report, we were in breach of certain continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ. We have received from the NASDAQ an additional period in which to trade our securities until July 2, 2007 in order for us to file this annual report and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 before that date. If we do not file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 by such date or fail to satisfy other NASDAQ listing requirements, including the timely filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, if not waived by the NASDAQ, NASDAQ could commence suspension or delisting procedures with respect to our common stock. The commencement of any suspension or delisting procedures by the NASDAQ remains, at all times, at the discretion of the NASDAQ and would be publicly announced by the NASDAQ. The delisting of our common stock from NASDAQ may have a material adverse effect on us by, among other things, limiting: • the liquidity of our common stock; • the market price of our common stock; • the number of institutional and other investors that will consider investing in our common stock; • the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; • the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock; and • our ability to obtain equity financing for the continuation of our operations. Our performance could be materially adversely affected by a general economic downturn or lessening demand in the software sector. Our financial condition depends on the health of the general economy as well as the software sector. Our revenue and profits are driven by demand for our products and services. A lessening demand in either the overall economy or the software sector could lead to a material decrease in our future revenues and earnings. The software market is a highly competitive industry, and we may not be able to compete effectively. The software market evolves quickly and is highly competitive. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current market share or customer base. For instance, we may not be able to accurately predict future changes in our customers’ needs and our competitors may develop new technologies or products that lessen demand for our products or make our products obsolete. Increased competition in the software sector could lead to price reductions, reduced profits, or loss of market share. 20 Management’s backlog estimate may not be accurate and may not generate the predicted revenues. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates are based on management’s assessment of the customer contracts that exist as of the date the estimates are made, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals, to the extent that we believe that recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. A number of factors could result in actual revenues being less than the amounts reflected in backlog. Our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in their industries or geographic locations, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts. Actual renewal rates and amounts may differ from historical experiences used to estimate backlog amounts. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within a 12-month or 60-month period. We may face exposure to unknown tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations. We are subject to income and non-income based taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax liabilities and other tax liabilities. from implemented tax-saving strategies. We believe that these tax-saving strategies comply with applicable tax law. If the governing tax authorities have a different interpretation of the applicable law and successfully challenge any of our tax positions, our financial condition and/or results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, we expect to continue to benefit Two of our foreign subsidiaries are the subject of tax examinations by the local taxing authorities. Other foreign subsidiaries could face challenges from various foreign tax authorities. It is not certain that the local authorities will accept our tax positions. We believe our tax positions comply with applicable tax law and intend to vigorously defend our positions. However, differing positions on certain issues could be upheld by foreign tax authorities, which could adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations. Consolidation in the financial services industry may adversely impact the number of customers and our revenues in the future. Mergers, acquisitions and personnel changes at key financial services organizations have the potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our business is concentrated in the financial services industry, making us susceptible to a downturn in that industry. Consolidation activity among financial institutions has increased in recent years. There are several potential negative effects of increased consolidation activity. Continuing consolidation of financial institutions could cause us to lose existing and potential customers for our products and services. For instance, consolidation of two of our customers could result in reduced revenues if the combined entity were to negotiate greater volume discounts or discontinue use of certain of our products. Additionally, if a non-customer and a customer combine and the combined entity in turn decided to forego future use of our products, our revenues would decline. Our stock price may be volatile. No assurance can be given that operating results will not vary from quarter to quarter, and past performance may not accurately predict future performance. Any fluctuations in quarterly operating results may result in volatility in our stock price. Our stock price may also be volatile, in part, due to 21 external factors such as announcements by third parties or competitors, inherent volatility in the technology sector, and changing market conditions in the software industry. There are a number of risks associated with our international operations. We have historically derived a majority of our revenues from international operations and anticipate continuing to do so. As a result, we are subject to risks of conducting international operations. One of the principal risks associated with international operations is potentially adverse movements of foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposures resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may change over time as our business evolves and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and/or results of operations. We have not entered into any derivative instruments or hedging contracts to reduce exposure to adverse foreign currency changes. Other potential risks include difficulties associated with staffing and management, reliance on independent distributors, longer payment cycles, potentially unfavorable changes to foreign tax rules, compliance with foreign regulatory requirements, reduced protection of intellectual property rights, variability of foreign economic conditions, changing restrictions imposed by U.S. export laws, and general economic and political conditions in the countries where we sell our products and services. One of our most strategic products, BASE24-eps could prove to be unsuccessful in the market. Our BASE24-eps product is strategic for us, in that it is designated to help us win new accounts, replace legacy payments systems on multiple hardware platforms and help us transition our existing customers to a new, open-systems product architecture. Our business, financial condition and/or results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to generate adequate sales of BASE24-eps, if market acceptance of BASE24-eps is delayed, or if we are unable to successfully deploy BASE24-eps in production environments. Our future profitability depends on demand for our products; lower demand in the future could adversely affect our business. Our revenue and profitability depend on the overall demand for our products and services. Historically, a majority of our total revenues resulted from licensing our BASE24 product line and providing related services and maintenance. Any reduction in demand for, or increase in competition with respect to, the BASE24 product line could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations. We have historically derived a substantial portion of our revenues from licensing of software products that operate on Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) NonStop servers. Any reduction in demand for HP NonStop servers, or any change in strategy by HP related to support of its NonStop servers, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations. Our software products may contain undetected errors or other defects, which could damage our reputation with customers, decrease profitability, and expose us to liability. Our software products are complex. They may contain undetected errors or flaws when first introduced or as new versions are released. These undetected errors may result in loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our products and a corresponding loss of sales or revenues. Customers depend upon our products for mission-critical applications, and these errors may hurt our reputation with customers. In addition, software product errors or failures could subject us to product liability, as well as performance and warranty claims, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. 22 Risks associated with future acquisitions and investments could materially adversely affect our business. We may acquire new products and services or enhance existing products and services through acquisitions of other companies, product lines, technologies and personnel, or through investments in other companies. During fiscal 2006, we acquired eps and P&H. Any acquisition or investment, including the acquisitions of eps and P&H, is subject to a number of risks. Such risks include the diversion of management time and resources, disruption of our ongoing business, difficulties in integrating acquisitions, dilution to existing stockholders if our common stock is issued in consideration for an acquisition or investment, incurring or assuming indebtedness or other liabilities in connection with an acquisition, lack of familiarity with new markets, and difficulties in supporting new product lines. Our failure to successfully manage acquisitions or investments, or successfully integrate acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Correspondingly, our expectations related to the benefits related to the eps and P&H acquisitions or any other future acquisition or investment could be inaccurate. We may be unable to protect our intellectual property and technology and may be subject to increasing litigation over our intellectual property rights. To protect our proprietary rights in our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of contractual provisions, including customer licenses that restrict use of our products, confidentiality agreements and procedures, and trade secret and copyright laws. Despite such efforts, we may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary rights, or our competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate products, or design around any rights we believe to be proprietary. This may be particularly true in countries other than the United States because some foreign laws do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as certain laws of the United States. Any failure or inability to protect our proprietary rights could materially adversely affect us. There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software industry regarding intellectual property rights. Third parties have in the past and may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights to business processes, technologies and related standards that are relevant to us and our customers. These assertions have increased over time as a result of the general increase in patent claims assertions, particularly in the United States. Because of the existence of a large number of patents in the electronic commerce field, the secrecy of some pending patents and the rapid issuance of new patents, it is not economical or even possible to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components infringes or will infringe on the patent rights of others. Any claim against us, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product delivery delays, require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements or pay amounts in settlement, or require us to develop alternative non-infringing technology. We anticipate that software product developers and providers of electronic commerce solutions could increasingly be subject to infringement claims, and third parties may claim that our present and future products infringe upon their intellectual property rights. Third parties may also claim, and we are aware that at least two parties have claimed on several occasions, that our customers’ use of a business process method which utilizes our products in conjunction with other products infringe on the third-party’s intellectual property rights. These third-party claims could lead to indemnification claims against us by our customers. Claims against our customers related to our products, whether or not meritorious, could harm our reputation and reduce demand for our products. Where indemnification claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage the customer relationship. A successful claim by a third-party of intellectual property infringement by us or one of our customers could compel us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements, pay significant damages, or stop selling certain products and incur additional costs to 23 develop alternative non-infringing technology. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could adversely affect our business. Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be increased for third- party products distributed by us or as a result of acquisitions since we have a lower level of visibility, if any, into the development process with respect to such third-party products and acquired technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks. Our restructuring plan may not achieve expected efficiencies. In October 2005, we announced a plan to restructure our organization because we believed that combining our three business units into a single operating unit would provide us with the best opportunities for focus, operating efficiency and strategic acquisition integration. This restructuring of our three business units into one operating unit is subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to diversion of management time and resources, disruption of our service to customers, and lack of familiarity with markets or products. We cannot assure investors that our expectation of savings expected to stem from the restructuring will be achieved. We may become involved in litigation that could materially adversely affect our business financial condition and/or results of operations. From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and result in costly litigation. Failure to successfully defend against these claims could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. Changes in the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) may have significant adverse effects on us. From time to time, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) promulgates new accounting rules applicable to us. New accounting standards, revised interpretations or guidance regarding existing standards, or changes in our business practices could result in future changes to our revenue recognition or other accounting policies. These changes could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Management has identified a number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for compliance with the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 and appropriate financial reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. As disclosed in this 2006 10-K, management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting identified material weaknesses in various areas as discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully implement revised internal controls and procedures, if any, or that revised controls and procedures, if any, will be effective in remedying the potential material weakness in our prior controls and procedures, nor can we provide assurance that we will not identify additional material weaknesses the future. In addition, we may be required to hire additional employees to help implement these changes, and may experience higher than anticipated capital expenditures and operating expenses during the implementation of these changes and thereafter. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or if other material weaknesses develop and we are unable to 24 effectively address these matters, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We lease office space in New York, New York for our corporate headquarters. We also lease office space in Omaha, Nebraska, for our principal product development group, sales and support groups for the Americas, as well as our corporate, accounting and administrative functions. The leases for our current Omaha-based facilities expire in fiscal 2008. We have contracted for new Omaha-based facilities to be first occupied at the end of 2008 and to continue through fiscal 2028. Our Europe/Middle East/Africa headquarters are located in Watford, England. The various leases for the Watford facilities expire in fiscal 2009 and 2017. Our Asia/Pacific headquarters are located in Sydney, Australia, with the lease for this facility expiring in fiscal 2011. We also lease office space in numerous other locations in the United States and in many other countries. We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our present and short-term foreseeable needs and that additional suitable space will be available as required. We also believe that we will be able to renew leases as they expire or secure alternate suitable space. See Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our obligations under our facilities leases. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Other than as described below, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, we believe would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Class Action Litigation. In November 2002, two class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska (the “Court”) against us and certain individuals alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Pursuant to a Court order, the two complaints were consolidated as Desert Orchid Partners v. Transaction Systems Architects, Inc., et al., with Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System designated as lead plaintiff. The Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint previously alleged that during the purported class period, we and the named defendants misrepresented our historical financial condition, results of operations and our future prospects, and failed to disclose facts that could have indicated an impending decline in our revenues. That Complaint also alleged that, prior to August 2002, the purported truth regarding our financial condition had not been disclosed to the market. We and the individual defendants initially filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. In response, on December 15, 2003, the Court dismissed, without prejudice, Gregory Derkacht, our former president and chief executive officer, as a defendant, but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining defendants, including us. On July 1, 2004, lead plaintiff filed a motion for class certification wherein, for the first time, lead plaintiff sought to add an additional class representative, Roger M. Wally. On August 20, 2004, defendants filed their opposition to the motion. On March 22, 2005, the Court issued an order certifying the class of persons that purchased our common stock from January 21, 1999 through November 18, 2002. On January 27, 2006, we and the individual defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, seeking a dismissal of the lead plaintiff and certain other class members, as well as a limitation on damages based upon plaintiffs’ inability to establish loss causation with respect to a large portion of their claims. On February 6, 2006, additional class representative Roger M. Wally filed a motion to withdraw as a class representative and class member. On April 21, 2006, and based upon 25 the pending motion for judgment, a motion to intervene as a class representative was filed by the Louisiana District Attorneys Retirement System (“LDARS”). LDARS previously attempted to be named as lead plaintiff in the case. On July 5, 2006, the Magistrate denied LDARS’ motion to intervene, which LDARS appealed to the District Judge. That appeal has not yet been decided. On May 17, 2006, the Court denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings as being moot based upon the Court’s granting lead plaintiff leave to file a Third Amended Complaint (“Third Complaint”), which it did on May 31, 2006. The Third Complaint alleges the same misrepresentations the purported truth about our financial as described above, while simultaneously alleging that condition was being disclosed throughout that time, commencing in April 1999. The Third Complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On June 14, 2006, we and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Third Complaint pursuant to Rules 8 and 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Lead Plaintiff opposed the motion. Prior to any ruling on the motion to dismiss, on November 7, 2006, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement for purposes of settling all of the claims in the Class Action Litigation, with no admissions of wrongdoing by us or any individual defendant. The settlement provides for an aggregate cash payment of $24.5 million of which, net of insurance, we contributed approximately $8.5 million. The settlement was approved by the Court on March 2, 2007 and the Court ordered the case dismissed with prejudice against us and the individual defendants. On March 27, 2007, James J. Hayes, a class member, filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit appealing this order. We intend to respond to this appeal in accordance with the Court of Appeals’ orders and procedures. ITEM 4.

In May 2006, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $30.0 million to the stock repurchase program, bringing the total of the approved program to increase of $110.0 million. In February 2007, our Board of Directors approved another 27 $100.0 million to the stock purchase program, bringing the total of the approved program to $210.0 million. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by us. Repurchased shares are returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In March 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of shares of common stock under the existing stock repurchase program. Under our Rule 10b5-1 plan we have delegated authority over the timing and amount of repurchases to an independent broker who does not have access to inside information about us. Rule 10b5-1 allows us, through the independent broker, to purchase our shares at times when we ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout periods, such as the time immediately preceding the end of the fiscal quarter through a period two business days following our quarterly earnings release. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, all shares were purchased in open-market transactions. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following selected financial data has been derived from our consolidated financial statements. This data should be read together with Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this 2006 10-K. The financial information below is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations. Future results could differ materially from historical results due to many factors, including those discussed in Item 1A in the section entitled “Risk Factors — Factors That May Affect the Company’s Future Results or the Market Price of our Common Stock.” As explained in the “Explanatory Note” to this 2006 10-K, our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been restated to correct certain errors in the recognition of stock- based compensation expense relating to stock options granted in fiscal periods between 1995 and 2002. These errors resulted in additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million, $0.5 million, $0.4 million, and $0.5 million for the years ended September 30, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The cumulative effect of the related after-tax charges for periods prior to 2002 was $12.2 million. The data for the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 have been restated to reflect the stock-based compensation adjustments, but such restated data have not been audited and are derived from our books and records. We have also adjusted certain prior period financial statements to reflect other items. The information presented in the following tables has been adjusted to reflect the restatement of our financial results, which is more fully described in the “Explanatory Note” immediately preceding Part I, Item 1 and in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this 2006 10-K. the impact of 28 We have not amended our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by these adjustments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview We develop, market, install and support a broad line of software products and services primarily focused on facilitating electronic payments. In addition to our own products, we distribute, or act as a sales agent for, software developed by third parties. Our products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering three geographic regions — the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific. Each distribution network has its own sales force and supplements this with independent reseller and/or distributor networks. Our products and services are used principally by financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors, both in domestic and international markets. Accordingly, our business and operating results are influenced by trends such as information technology spending the electronic payments industry, mandated regulatory changes, and levels, changes in the number and type of customers in the financial services industry. As set forth in Note 9, “Corporate Restructuring and Other Reorganization Charges” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, at the beginning of fiscal 2006, we underwent a corporate reorganization, combining our products and services under the ACI Worldwide name. the growth rate of We derive a majority of our revenues from non-domestic operations and believe our greatest opportunities for growth exist largely in international markets. Refining our global infrastructure is a critical component of driving our growth. We have launched a globalization strategy which includes elements intended to streamline our supply chain and provide low-cost centers of expertise to support a growing international customer base. In fiscal 2006, we established a new subsidiary in Ireland to serve as the focal point for certain international product development and commercialization efforts. This subsidiary will oversee remote software development operations in Romania and elsewhere, as well as manage certain of our intellectual property rights. We are forming a “ACI On Demand” group to develop new business and market-entry vehicles where we sell a service directly to end-user banks, retailers or processors. We also moved our principal executive offices to New York City in September 2006 to more strategically manage our global infrastructure. Key trends that currently impact our strategies and operations include: • Increasing electronic payment transaction volumes. Electronic payment volumes continue to increase around the world, taking market share from traditional cash and check transactions. We recently commissioned an industry study that determined that electronic payment volumes are expected to grow at approximately 13% per year for the next five years, with varying growth rates based on the type of payment and part of the world. We leverage the growth in transaction volumes through the licensing of new systems to customers whose older systems cannot handle increased volume and through the licensing of capacity upgrades to existing customers. • Increasing competition. The electronic payments market is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Our competition comes from in-house information technology departments, third-party electronic payment processors and third-party software companies located both within and outside of the United States. Many of these companies are significantly larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As electronic payment transaction volumes increase, third-party processors tend to provide competition to our solutions, particularly among customers that do not seek to differentiate their electronic payment offerings. As consolidation in the financial services industry continues, we anticipate that competition for those customers will intensify. • Aging payments software. software developed by internal In many markets, electronic payments are processed using information technology departments, much of which was 31 originally developed over ten years ago. Increasing transaction volumes, industry mandates and the overall costs of supporting these older technologies often serve to make these older systems obsolete, creating opportunities for us to replace this aging software with newer and more advanced products. • Adoption of open systems technology. to leverage lower-cost computing technologies and current institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors are seeking to transition their systems from proprietary technologies to open technologies such as Windows, UNIX and Linux. Our continued investment in open systems technologies is, in part, designed to address this demand. technology staffing and resources, many financial In an effort • Electronic payments fraud and compliance. As electronic payment transaction volumes increase, criminal elements continue to find ways to commit a growing volume of fraudulent transactions using a wide range of techniques. Financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors continue to seek ways to leverage new technologies to identify and prevent terrorism and money institutions in particular are being faced with increasing scrutiny and laundering, financial regulatory pressures. We continue to see opportunity to offer our fraud detection solutions to help customers manage the growing levels of electronic payment fraud and compliance activity. transactions. Due to concerns with international fraudulent • Adoption of smartcard technology. In many markets, card issuers are being required to issue new cards with embedded chip technology. Chip-based cards are more secure, harder to copy and offer the opportunity for multiple functions on one card (e.g. debit, credit, electronic purse, identification, health records, etc.). The Europay/Mastercard/Visa (“EMV”) standard for issuing and processing debit and credit card transactions has emerged as the global standard, with many regions throughout the world working on EMV rollouts. The primary benefit of EMV deployment is a reduction in electronic payment fraud, with the additional benefit that the core infrastructure necessary for multi-function chip cards is being put in place (e.g. chip card readers in ATM’s and POS devices). We are working with many customers around the world to facilitate EMV deployments, leveraging several of our solutions. • Single Euro Payments Area (“SEPA”) and Faster Payments Mandates. The SEPA and Faster Payment initiatives, primarily focused on the European Economic Community and the United Kingdom, are designed to facilitate lower costs for cross-border payments and facilitate reduced timeframes for settling electronic payment transactions. Our retail and wholesale banking solutions provide key functions that help financial institutions address these mandated regulations. • Financial institution consolidation. Consolidation continues on a national and international basis, as financial institutions seek to add market share and increase overall efficiency. There are several potential negative effects of increased consolidation activity. Continuing consolidation of financial institutions may result in a fewer number of existing and potential customers for our products and services. Consolidation of two of our customers could result in reduced revenues if the combined entity were to negotiate greater volume discounts or discontinue use of certain of our products. Additionally, if a non-customer and a customer combine and the combined entity in turn decide to forego future use of our products, our revenue would decline. Conversely, we could benefit from the combination of a non-customer and a customer when the combined entity continues use of our products and, as a larger combined entity, increases its demand for our products and services. We tend to focus on larger financial institutions as customers, often resulting in our solutions being the solutions that survive in the consolidated entity. 32 financial • Electronic payments convergence. As electronic payment volumes grow and pressures to lower overall cost per transaction increase, institutions are seeking methods to consolidate their payment processing across the enterprise. We believe that the strategy of using service-oriented-architectures to allow for re-use of common electronic payment functions such as authentication, authorization, routing and settlement will become more common. Using these techniques, financial institutions will be able to reduce costs, increase overall service levels, enable one-to-one marketing in multiple bank channels and manage enterprise risk. Our reorganization was, in part, focused on this trend, by facilitating the delivery of integrated payment functions that can be re-used by multiple bank channels, across both the consumer and wholesale bank. While this trend presents an opportunity for us, it may also expand the competition from third-party electronic payment technology and service providers specializing in other forms of electronic payments. Many of these providers are larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Several other factors related to our business may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition in the software industry are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as maturity of the software product licensed, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred. Additionally, while the majority of our contracts are denominated in the U.S. dollar, a substantial portion of our sales are made, and some of our expenses are incurred, in the local currency of countries other than the United States. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates in a given period may result in the recognition of gains or losses for that period. We continue to seek ways to grow, through both organic sources and acquisitions. We continually look for potential acquisitions designed to improve our solutions’ breadth or provide access to new markets. As part of our acquisition strategy, we seek acquisition candidates that are strategic, capable of being integrated into our operating environment, and financially accretive to our financial performance. We continue to evaluate strategies intended to improve our overall effective tax rate. Our degree of success in this regard and related acceptance by taxing authorities of tax positions taken, as well as changes to tax laws in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions, could cause our effective tax rate to fluctuate from period to period. During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we began to manage certain intellectual property rights from our Irish subsidiary as part of our overall globalization strategy. We expect these globalization efforts to result in future improvements in profitability and reductions in our overall effective tax rate. RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We initiated a review of our historic stock option granting practices following general public reports about option granting issues among public companies. The review was self-initiated and not prompted by any inquiry from a regulatory body, a “whistleblower” or other source. On October 27, 2006, we announced the voluntary internal review (“the review”). The review was conducted by the audit committee of our board of directors (the board) with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic accountants. On March 16, 2007, we publicly announced the completion and key results of the review, which are set forth in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on that date. The independent counsel and its forensic accountants reviewed paper files, e-mails and electronic files; conducted interviews with current and former members of the board’s compensation 33 committee, current and former directors, officers, employees and advisors; and conducted an extensive analysis of facts and circumstances related to all stock option grants made from the date of our IPO in 1995 to 2006. In the course of the review, measurement date errors were noted. We applied the accounting standards then in effect to determine, for every grant, the proper measurement dates. As a result, we have restated our prior period financial statements to account for any stock based compensation charges associated with the revised measurement dates. Accordingly, in this report, additional non- cash compensation expense and related tax effects are recorded over the relevant option service periods. We previously applied APB Opinion No. 25, and its related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123 through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. APB Opinion No. 25, and its related interpretations required stock based compensation expense to be recognized for any stock option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date, and expense to be recognized over the service period of the stock option. The measurement date, as defined by APB Opinion No. 25, is the first date on which both (1) the number of stock options that an individual employee is entitled to receive and (2) the exercise price, if any, are established. During the period from the IPO in 1995 through 2002, we issued a total of approximately 8.8 million stock options. Major classifications of the options granted during this time were: broad-based grants to employees excluding the CEO and CFO (5.2 million stock options); CEO and CFO grants (1.4 million stock options); 1997 Management Plan excluding the CEO and CFO (0.8 million stock options); employee recognition awards (0.2 million stock options); non-employee director grants (0.2 million stock options). The remaining grants relate to employee hiring and promotions. Approximately 92%, or 8.1 million of the stock options granted in this period, were granted pursuant to 18 large grants and the remainder was granted pursuant to approximately 360 small grants. Broad-Based Annual Grants to Employees Excluding the CEO and CFO — Approximately 5.2 million of the 8.8 million stock options issued during this period were issued pursuant to seven awards to over 2,000 employees, excluding options granted to the CEO and CFO. Prior to 2003, based upon formal board action and informal consultations with board members, the CEO and CFO believed they had been delegated authority to carry out the employee option granting process. Generally, the CEO approved the numbers of options and recipients, while the CFO set the grant date, which determined the exercise price. For these grants, the review identified that the Compensation Committee and the CEO typically discussed the general allocation of stock options prior to the grant. The stock option granting process then included gathering recommendations from division level managers for the allocation of options within those divisions. When the proposed stock option lists were submitted by the manager, they were reviewed and approved by the CEO or CFO. This process typically continued beyond the original grant date. Generally, the investigation identified evidence of an approval of the list by the CEO or the CFO and the determination of the exercise price by the CFO. In many instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. Based on all available evidence, we typically determined that the appropriate measurement date for these grants was the later of the following two dates: (a) the date on which evidence indicated that a communication to or from our former CEOs or CFOs approves a particular list (evidencing finality of that list) or (b) the date on which the price of the options was determined by the CFO with finality. Where information was not available to evidence either (b) above, we determined the appropriate measurement date to be the date on which, based upon all available evidence, the those instances, we determined the granting process was completed with finality. In most of (a) or 34 measurement date to be when the grant was entered into our stock option software. Where changes were noted subsequent to the date a list appeared to be substantially complete, we determined, based on best available evidence, whether the changes constituted an extension of the option- granting process for the entire list or for the specific changes noted. Option Exchange Program — On August 29, 2001, 1.95 million outstanding stock options were cancelled by us pursuant to a previously announced exchange program. On March 4, 2002, 1.82 million options (included in the 5.2 million of Annual Broad Based awards) were issued in replacement of these cancelled options. The difference between the number of cancelled options and the number of replacement options was due to employee departures between August 29, 2001 and March 4, 2002. The review indicated that the measurement date with respect to the March 4, 2002 options was the same as the original grant date. As a result, no compensation charge related to substantially all of the replacement options was required. We did determine that options for three individuals were cancelled after August 29, 2001 which resulted in variable plan accounting for the respective replacement awards granted on March 4, 2002, as the lapsed period between the cancellation and replacement awards was not sufficient to permit the replacement options to be considered new grants. than for non-performance of Under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation Number 44 (“FIN 44”), Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, the cancellation of options other requires that any unamortized stock based compensation expense associated with the cancelled options be recognized in the period in which the cancellation occurs. Based on changes to measurement dates for grants prior to the August 29, 2001 cancellation that remained unvested, we were required to record the unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $2.1 million associated with the cancelled stock options on August 29, 2001. termination of employment, CEO and CFO Grants — Approximately 1.4 million of the 8.8 million options issued during this period were granted to the then CEOs and CFOs. While approving grant awards to other employees, the CEO and CFO granted options to themselves. Given the role the CEO and CFO played in the options granting process, we have determined that the appropriate measurement date for options issued to the former CEOs and CFOs was the date on which the Board or Compensation Committee took action to ratify their grants, except for the 1997 Management Plan Grants noted below. Also, as noted above, in many instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional compensation charge of approximately $2.9 million. 1997 Management Plan Grants — In March and April 1997, we issued approximately 0.8 million options to certain members of management, excluding options granted to the CEO and CFO. The terms of the 1997 Option Plan included that the grantees accept the options and pay $3 for each option. Based on the acceptance provision, we have determined the appropriate measurement dates to be the date on which the grantee accepted the offer to purchase the options. In the few situations where we did not have evidence of acceptance by or payment from the grantee, we utilized best available evidence for the determination of a measurement date. Based on the Compensation Committee’s consideration of this plan and anticipated grants to the CEO and the CFO prior to the acceptance of their awards, we determined that the acceptance criteria should also be used in determining the measurement dates for the CEO and CFO. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional compensation charge of approximately $0.2 million. Employee Recognition Awards — Approximately 0.2 million of the 8.8 million options issued during this period were granted as part of our “President’s Awards” program. In these grants, managers were given an annual allotment based on CEO and CFO discussions with the Board. The allocation process typically continued beyond the original grant date. Also, as noted above, in many 35 instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional charge of approximately $0.2 million. We have determined that the appropriate measurement date for these awards was the later of the following two dates: (a) the date on which evidence indicated that our former CEOs or CFOs approved a particular list (evidencing finality of that list) or (b) the date on which the price of the options was determined by the CFO with finality. Where definitive information was not available to evidence either (a) or (b), we determined the appropriate measurement date to be the date on which, based upon all available evidence, the granting process was completed with finality. In most of those instances, we determined the measurement date to be when the grant was entered into our stock option software. Where changes were noted subsequent to the date a list appeared to be substantially complete, we determined, based on best available evidence, whether the changes constituted an extension of the option-granting process for the entire list or for the specific changes noted. Non-Employee director grants — Non-Employee Directors generally received automatic option grants pursuant to the 1996, 2000 and 2002 Directors Option Plans based on their initial election to the board, on the anniversary thereof, and other designated dates thereafter, as specified in the plans. Management has determined that the measurement dates related to the Non-Employee Directors followed the provisions of the plans and their exercise price was the date the Director was initially elected to the board and the anniversary dates thereafter. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards. For certain of the plans above, compensation expense was also recognized as a result of modifications that resulted in new measurement dates that were made to certain employee option grant awards in connection with termination agreements from fiscal 1995 through April 30, 2001, including acceleration of vesting for unvested options and extensions of exercise periods for vested options. Compensation expense for these modifications was recorded during the relevant periods. In almost all cases, no substantial services were rendered by the terminated employees. As a result, substantially all of the incremental compensation expense from these modifications was recognized in the period of the termination. The total compensation charge for these modifications from fiscal 1995 through April 30, 2001 was approximately $2.2 million. While we believe we have made appropriate judgments in determining the financial and tax impacts of our historic stock option practices, we cannot provide assurance that the SEC or the IRS will agree with the manner in which we have accounted for and reported, or not reported, the financial and tax impacts. If the SEC or the IRS disagrees with our financial or tax adjustments, and such disagreement results in material changes to the historical financial statements, we may have to further restate the prior financial statements, amend prior filings with the SEC, or take other actions not currently contemplated. The cumulative pretax incremental stock compensation expense recognized by us for these errors (as described above) is approximately $18.0 million for fiscal years 1995 through 2003. The cumulative after tax amount for these fiscal years is $12.8 million. The pretax incremental stock compensation expense recognized by us for these errors (as described above) in 2005 and 2004 is $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively and related after tax impact for these years was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The balance sheet impact of the errors, which resulted in an increase to deferred tax assets, was $0.3 million at September 30, 2005. We utilized all available evidence from the review to determine the revised measurement dates noted above which required a significant amount of judgment. Based on the judgment required, in 36 the consideration of potential alternative dates, many cases, we considered potential alternative measurement dates. Typically, these were rejected as we determined that the best available evidence supported the selected measurement dates. As part of to establish: (1) a date which was defined as the earliest possible date that met all the conditions that constitute a measurement date under APB Opinion No. 25 (the “Inside Date”) and (2) a date which was defined as the next possible date that met all the conditions that constitute ameas urement date under APB Opinion No. 25 after the selected measurement date (the “Outside Date”). the evidence was generally sufficient In light of the significant judgment used, alternate measurement date selections to those identified by us could have resulted in different stock compensation charges than those recorded in the restatement. Based on all available evidence and applying the lowest and highest trading prices of our common stock between alternative dates for the majority of applicable grants, the total cumulative pre-tax, non-cash, stock compensation charge that could alternatively have been recognized by us ranged from approximately $12 million to $27 million for the fiscal periods 1995 through 2005. We utilized all available evidence from the review to determine the revised measurement dates noted above. This process required a significant amount of judgment. In light of the significant judgment used, alternate approaches to those used by us could have resulted in different stock compensation charges than those recorded in the restatement. We estimate that we will incur approximately $6 million to $7 million of expense, primarily professional fees, related to the historical stock option review and management analysis, substantially all of which was or will be expensed in the first ($3 million) and second ($3 million) quarters of fiscal 2007 and the remainder thereafter. In addition to the approximate $6 million to $7 million of expense incurred, we estimate that we will incur cash outlays of approximately $7 million for the settlement of vested options that optionees are or were unable to exercise due to the option review and which would otherwise expire. The actual amount incurred with respect to the settlement of options depends on the number of options that will expire prior to the Company becoming current on its quarterly financial statements as well as the stock price used to calculate any settlement amount. In most cases, these settlements reduced our additional paid-in capital balance and reduced our fully diluted outstanding shares. Acquisitions On July 29, 2005, we acquired the business of S2 Systems, Inc. (“S2”) through the acquisition of its assets. S2 was a global provider of electronic payments and network substantially all of connectivity software, and it primarily served financial services and retail customers, which were homogeneous and complementary to our target markets. In addition to its operations in the United States, S2 had a significant presence in the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia/Pacific region, generating nearly half of its revenue from international markets. On May 31, 2006, we acquired the outstanding shares of eps Electronic Payment Systems AG (“eps”), headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. The acquisition of eps occurred in two closings. The initial closing occurred on May 31, 2006, and the second closing occurred on October 31, 2006. eps, with operations in Germany, Romania, the United Kingdom and other European locations, offers electronic payment and complementary solutions focused largely in the German market. The acquisition of eps will provide us additional opportunities to sell our value added solutions, such as Proactive Risk Manager and Smart Chip Manager, into the German marketplace, as well as to sell eps’ testing and dispute management solutions into markets beyond Germany. In addition, eps’ presence in Romania will help us more rapidly develop our global offshore development and support capabilities. The aggregate purchase price for eps was $30.4 million, which was comprised of cash payments of $19.1 million, 330,827 shares of common stock valued at $11.1 million, and direct costs of the acquisition. 37 On September 29, 2006, we completed the acquisition of P&H Solutions, Inc. (“P&H”). P&H is a leading provider of enterprise business banking solutions and provides a complement to our existing revenue producing activities. The aggregate purchase price for P&H, including direct costs of the acquisition, was $133.7 million, net of $20.2 million of cash acquired, approximately $73.3 million of which was financed by the Credit Agreement described in Note 8, “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, with the remaining cash of $60.4 million derived from the sale of investments The acquisition of P&H will extend our wholesale payments solutions suite, provide us with an Application Software Provider (“ASP”)-based offering and allow us to distribute P&H’s solutions into international markets through our global distribution channel. On February 7, 2007, we acquired Visual Web Solutions, Inc. Visual Web markets trade finance institutions in the Asia-Pacific and web-based cash management solutions, primarily to financial region. On April 2, 2007, we acquired Stratasoft Sdn. Bhd. Stratasoft is a Kuala Lumpur based company focused on the provision of mainframe based payments systems to the Malaysian market. Prior to the acquisition, Stratasoft had been a distributor of our OCM 24 product within the Malaysian market since 1995. Assets of Businesses Transferred Under Contractual Arrangements On September 29, 2006, we completed the sale of the eCourier and Workpoint product lines to PlaNet Group, Inc. We retained rights to distribute these products as components of our electronic payments solutions. See Note 17, “Assets of Businesses Transferred Under Contractual Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail. Backlog Included in backlog are all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates. Our 60-month backlog represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions: • Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term. • License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences. • Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams. • Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. • Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period. In computing our 60-month backlog, the following items are specifically not taken into account: • Anticipated increases in transaction volumes in customer systems. • Optional annual uplifts or inflationary increases in recurring fees. 38 • Services engagements, other than facilities management, are not assumed to renew over the 60-month backlog period. • The potential impact of merger activity within our markets and/or customers is not reflected in the computation of 60-month backlog. The 60-month and 12-month backlog estimates set the periods ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 have been revised to reflect the exclusion of previously expected revenue associated with certain cancelled or replaced customer contracts. The revisions resulted in a reduction in 60-month backlog estimates in the following amounts, $4 million, $9 million, $10 million and $14 million, respectively for these periods. forth below for The following table sets forth our 60-month backlog, by geographic region, as of September 30, 2006, September 30, 2005, and all interim periods (in millions): Americas . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Periods other than those specifically referred to above do not contain backlog estimates from the eps or P&H acquisitions as the respective acquisition had not closed at the time backlog estimates were computed. Included in 60-month backlog estimates for the June 30, 2006 and prior periods is approximately $8 million associated with our Workpoint and E-Courier product lines which were sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. We also report 12-month backlog, segregated between monthly recurring and non-recurring revenues, using a methodology consistent with the 60-month calculation. Monthly recurring revenues include all monthly license fees, maintenance fees and facilities management fees. Non-recurring revenues include other software license fees and services. Amounts included in 12-month backlog assume renewal of one-time license fees on a monthly fee basis if such renewal is expected to occur in the next 12 months.

The 12-month backlog amounts reported as of March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and September 30, 2005 are unchanged. 39 Included in the September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006 12-month EMEA backlog results is approximately $5 million from the eps acquisition. Included in the September 30, 2006 Americas 12- month backlog results is approximately $25 million from the P&H acquisition. Periods other than those specifically referred to above do not contain backlog results from the eps or P&H acquisitions as the respective acquisition had not closed at the time backlog results were computed. Included in 12-month backlog results for the June 30, 2006 and prior periods is approximately $4 million associated with our Workpoint and E-Courier product lines which were sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 12-month or 60-month period. 40 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain financial data and the percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands): Year Ended September 30, 2006 2005 2004 % of Total % of Total % of Total Amount Revenue Amount Revenue Amount Revenue Restated (1) Restated (1) $107,347 30.9% $ 95,206 30.4% $ 74,426 25.4% 68,282 175,629 103,708 68,565 347,902 19.6% 50.5% 29.8% 19.7% 73,216 168,422 93,501 51,314 313,237 23.4% 53.8% 29.8% 16.4% 82,976 157,402 88,484 46,898 292,784 28.3% 53.8% 30.2% 16.0% 31,124 8.9% 24,666 7.9% 25,045 8.6% 79,622 22.9% 60,337 19.3% 57,380 19.6% 40,768 66,720 11.7% 19.2% 39,688 65,612 12.7% 20.9% 38,013 61,139 13.0% 20.9% 67,440 19.4% 58,683 18.7% 56,913 19.4% 8,450 294,124 53,778 2.4% 84.5% 15.5% — 248,986 64,251 — 79.5% 20.5% — 238,490 54,294 — 81.5% 18.5% 7,825 (185) (543) 7,097 2.2% (0.1)% (0.2)% 2.0% 3,843 (510) (1,681) 1,652 1.2% (0.2)% (0.5)% 0.5% 1,762 (1,435) 2,294 2,621 0.6% (0.5)% 0.8% 0.9% 60,875 (5,510) $ 55,365 17.5% (1.6)% 15.9% 65,903 (22,804) $ 43,099 21.0% (7.3)% 13.8% 56,915 (10,609) $ 46,306 19.4% (3.6)% 15.8% Revenues: Initial license fees (ILFs). .

(1) See Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 41 Revenues 2006 vs. 2005 Total revenues for fiscal 2006 increased $34.7 million, or 11.1%, as compared to fiscal 2005. The increase is the result of a $7.2 million, or 4.3%, increase in software license fee revenues, a $10.2 million, or 10.9%, increase in maintenance fee revenues, and a $17.3 million, or 33.6%, increase in services revenues. Included in fiscal 2006 results, with no corresponding amount in fiscal 2005, was approximately $2.9 million in eps related revenue. The majority of the revenue increase resulted from revenue growth in international markets, primarily in the EMEA region, with an increase of $21.5 million, or 19.5%, over 2005. Revenues from the Americas region increased by $11.7 million, or 6.9%, and revenues from the Asia/Pacific region increased by $1.5 million, or 4.4%. The increases in software license fee revenues for 2006 are primarily due to the completion of several large implementation projects that resulted in software license fee revenue recognition and increased revenues for the Company’s Retail Payment Engines and Cross Industry Solutions product lines. The comparative increases in maintenance fee revenues during both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 were primarily due to growth in the installed base of software products as well as maintenance fee revenues recognized from S2 products during the year. Maintenance fee revenue recognized during the year partly reflects the recognition of acquired deferred maintenance amounts which have been reduced to cost, plus a normal profit margin, as required under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-03, Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree. In addition, maintenance fee revenues of $0.4 million were recognized from eps products during fiscal 2006. The increases in services revenues for fiscal year 2006, as compared to fiscal 2005, resulted primarily from the recognition of previously deferred services revenues for several large projects which were completed during the year, as well as services revenues recognized from S2 products. In addition, services revenues of $2.1 million were recognized from eps products during fiscal 2006. For some of our contracts, including certain S2 contracts, services revenues are being recognized to the extent direct and incremental costs are incurred until such time that project profitability can be estimated. This revenue recognition treatment negatively impacted the margins on services revenues for the year. 2005 vs. 2004 Total revenues for fiscal 2005 increased by $20.4 million, or 7.0%, as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase is the result of an $11.0 million, or 7.0%, increase in software license fee revenues, a $5.0 million, or 5.7%, increase in maintenance fee revenues, and a $4.4 million, or 9.4%, increase in services revenues. Included in fiscal 2005 results, with no corresponding amount in fiscal 2004, was approximately $2.4 million in S2 related revenues. For fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004, software license fee revenues increased by $11.0 million. This increase resulted from a sales mix during fiscal 2005 that was more heavily weighted toward the Retail Payment Systems product line, as well as recognition of previously-deferred revenues for several large projects that were completed during fiscal 2005, including software license fee revenue following customer acceptance of a significant BASE24-eps application. The comparative increases in maintenance fee revenues during fiscal 2005 was primarily due to growth in the installed base of software products as well as maintenance fee revenues recognized from S2 products during the year. 42 The increase in services revenues during fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 was primarily due to the recognition of previously-deferred services revenues for several large projects that were completed during fiscal 2005, with offsetting decreases in the Wholesale Payments product line. In addition, services revenues of $1.1 million were recognized from S2 products during fiscal 2005. Expenses 2006 vs. 2005 (Restated) Total operating expenses for fiscal 2006 increased $45.1 million, or 18.1%, as compared to fiscal 2005. Included in operating expenses with no corresponding amounts in fiscal 2005, were approximately $3.8 million in eps related expenses and $6.3 million in stock-based compensation. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates was a decrease to overall expenses by approximately $1.9 million for fiscal 2006 as compared with fiscal 2005. Cost of software license fees for fiscal 2006 increased by $6.5 million, or 26.2%, as compared to fiscal 2005. The increase was due to additional personnel assigned to support our PRM, Smart Card and BASE24-eps products as well as costs associated with additional personnel assigned to support these products following the previously discussed reorganization. The increase also resulted in expenses from eps of $0.7 million in fiscal 2006. In addition, stock-based compensation costs of $0.5 million, resulting from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) in fiscal 2006, were recognized during the fiscal year. Cost of maintenance and services for fiscal 2006 increased $19.3 million, or 32.0%, as compared to 2005. The increase resulted from eps expenses of $1.6 million incurred during the last two quarters of fiscal 2006, additional expenses incurred related to prior acquisitions, and the recognition of large previously deferred compensation-related expenses resulting from the completion of several projects during the year. For these projects, revenues previously recognized were being deferred until acceptance or first production use of the software, and the associated costs, including compensation- related expenses, were being deferred until the related services revenue was recognized. Research and development (“R&D”) costs increased $1.1 million, or 2.7%, in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of an increased number of personnel assigned to R&D activities. Selling and marketing costs increased $1.1 million, or 1.7%, in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher sales commissions and other costs resulting from strong sales during the year. In addition, stock-based compensation costs of $0.3 million, resulting from adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal 2006, were recognized during the fiscal year. General and administrative costs for fiscal 2006 increased $8.8 million, or 14.9%, as compared to fiscal 2005. The increase was due to stock-based compensation costs of $3.9 million recognized during the year resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), severance costs related to two reorganizations that were effected during the year (see Note 9, “Corporate Restructuring and Other Reorganization Charges” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail), increased costs resulting from globalization initiatives and additional compensation and benefit costs. We also recorded an expense of $8.5 million in connection with the recently announced settlement of the class action suit. 43 2005 (Restated) vs. 2004 (Restated) Total operating expenses for fiscal 2005 increased $10.5 million, or 4.4%, as compared to fiscal 2004. Included in fiscal 2005 operating expenses, with no corresponding amounts in fiscal 2004, were approximately $3.8 million in S2 related expenses and $1.3 million in charges resulting from a reorganization of our business units. Cost of software license fees decreased $0.4 million, or 1.5%, for fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher commissions paid to distributors of our products during fiscal 2004. However, we experienced increased expenses surrounding customizations and/or enhancements of our newer software products during fiscal 2005, resulting in higher costs in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004, which offset some of the year-to-date benefits received from the decrease in distributor commission costs. Cost of maintenance and services for fiscal 2005 increased $3.0 million, or 5.2%, as compared to fiscal 2004. The comparative increase resulted primarily from $3.4 million in costs incurred to support the S2 products and higher expenses in fiscal 2005 resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, offset by a reduction in compensation related expenses resulting from the shift of certain personnel to installation services associated with increasing sales of newer products such as our BASE24-eps product, for which revenues are being deferred until acceptance or first production use and the associated costs are capitalized and subsequently expensed when the related services revenue recognition occurs. R&D costs for fiscal 2005 increased $1.7 million, or 4.4%, as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel assigned to R&D activities, as well as higher expenses in fiscal 2005 that resulted from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and marketing costs increased $4.5 million, or 7.3%, in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses in fiscal 2005 resulting from commissions due on strong sales, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the EMEA region, increases in travel-related expenses and $0.5 million in fiscal 2005 restructuring charges. General and administrative costs for fiscal 2005 increased $1.8 million, or 3.1%, as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to increased professional fees related to legal services, internal controls compliance testing, and other corporate level strategic planning costs. Reduced costs of director and officer liability insurance offset some of the increase in professional fees. Other Income and Expense Interest income for fiscal 2006 increased $4.0 million, or 103.6%, as compared to fiscal 2005. Interest income for fiscal 2005 increased $2.1 million, or 118.1%, as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase in interest income during fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 is attributable to interest income of $1.9 million on a refund of income taxes as well as increases in interest rates and global consolidation of excess cash amounts into higher yielding investments. The increase in interest income in 2005 as compared to 2004 is attributable to higher average cash balances and marketable increases in interest rates, and global consolidation of excess cash securities balances, marginal amounts into higher yielding investments. Interest expense for fiscal 2006 decreased $0.3 million, or 63.7%, as compared to fiscal 2005. Interest expense for fiscal 2005 decreased $0.9 million, or 64.5%, as compared to fiscal 2004. Scheduled payments of debt under financing agreements continued to be made during fiscal 2006, which decreased outstanding debt balances and corresponding interest expense. As discussed in Note 8, “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we entered into a long term credit facility agreement with aggregate available borrowings of $150 million under which $75 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2006. 44 Other income and expense consists of foreign currency gains and losses, and other non- operating items. Other expense for fiscal 2006 was $0.5 million as compared to other expense for fiscal 2005 of $1.7 million. Comparative changes in other income and expense amounts were primarily attributable to fluctuating currency rates which impacted the amounts of foreign currency gains or losses recognized by us during the respective fiscal years. We realized $0.2 million in net foreign currency losses during fiscal 2006 as compared with $1.4 million in net losses during fiscal 2005 and net gains of $2.6 million in fiscal 2004. Income Taxes The effective tax rates for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were approximately 9.1%, 34.6% and 18.6%, respectively. There are a number of items which impact our effective tax rate each year and the most significant of those items are discussed in the following paragraphs. Our effective tax rate each year also varies from our federal statutory rate because we operate in multiple foreign countries where we apply their tax laws and rates which vary from those that we apply to the income we generate from our domestic operations. In fiscal 2006, our effective tax rate was lower than fiscal 2005 because we completed the federal tax audit for fiscal years 1997 through 2003 in that year and we released a valuation reserve we had previously established on our foreign tax credit carry forwards. With the final settlement of the federal tax audit we released all accruals and tax contingencies for those years resulting in a 6.4% reduction in the effective tax rate. In fiscal 2006, we were able to utilize significant foreign tax credits and based on this fact, as well as our estimates of our ability to utilize the remaining foreign tax credits in future years we also released the valuation reserves related to our carryover general limitation foreign tax credits, resulting in a 20.7% decrease in the effective tax rate. In fiscal 2004, the primary reason our effective tax rate was lower as compared to fiscal 2005 was the reorganization in fiscal 2004 of our MessagingDirect Ltd. subsidiary and its related entities which decreased the effective tax rate by 21.2% In fiscal 2005, there was no one event which significantly increased or decreased our effective tax rate; however, in that year the taxable income generated in foreign jurisdictions in fiscal 2005 was subject to a 2.9% lower rate in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2006, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $110.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $75.0 million of unused borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We had bank borrowings of $75.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2006. In December 2004, we announced that our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us, from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, to acquire up to $80.0 million of our common stock. In May 2006, our board of directors approved an increase of $30.0 million to the stock repurchase program, bringing the total of the approved plan to $110.0 million. During fiscal 2006, we repurchased 1,217,645 shares of our common stock at an average price of $32.95 per share under this stock repurchase program. The maximum remaining dollar value of shares authorized for purchase under the stock repurchase program was $36.5 million as of September 30, 2006. We may also decide to use cash to acquire new products and services or enhance existing products and services through acquisitions of other companies, product lines, technologies and personnel, or through investments in other companies. In March 2007, our board of directors approved an increase of $100 million to our current repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $210 million. This increase in the repurchase program will be implemented as soon as we are able to amend our repurchase instructions in accordance with applicable laws, after we become compliant with our regulatory filings. 45 Under the program to date, we have purchased approximately 2.8 million shares for approximately $77.0 million. Purchases will be made from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, in open market, negotiated or block transactions, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations. In connection with funding the purchase of P&H, as discussed in Note 8, “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on September 29, 2006, we entered into a five year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, providing for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million. We have the option to to $200 million. The facility has a maturity date of increase the aggregate principal amount September 29, 2011. Obligations under the facility are unsecured and uncollateralized, but are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We may select either a base rate loan or a LIBOR based loan. Base rate loans are computed at the national prime interest rate plus a margin ranging from 0% to 0.125%. LIBOR based loans are computed at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 1.375%. The margins are dependent upon our total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. On October 5, 2006, we exercised our right to convert the rate on our initial borrowing to the LIBOR based option, thereby reducing the effective interest rate to 6.12%. There is also an unused commitment fee to be paid annually of 0.15% to 0.3% based on our leverage ratio. The initial principal borrowings of $75 million were outstanding at September 30, 2006. There is $75 million remaining under the credit facility for future borrowings. The credit facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial measurements. The facility also provides for certain events of default. The facility does not contain any subjective acceleration features and does not have any required payment or principal reduction schedule and is included as a non-current liability in our consolidated balance sheet. We have previously obtained certain extensions and may continue to seek additional extensions under our credit facilities. The extensions waive certain potential breaches of representations and covenants under our credit facilities and establish the extended deadlines for the delivery of certain financial reports. Our current extensions under the credit facilities expire on May 16, 2007 for our annual financial statements, the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our annual financial statements, and (ii) July 2, 2007, and the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, and (ii) August 16, 2007 and the extensions for our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 expire the earlier of (i) 45 days after delivery of our quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, and (ii) October 1, 2007. We may not be able to deliver our quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 within the extended period, which may impact whether we are able to file our quarterly results for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007 within the extended periods, and therefore, we may seek additional extensions under the credit facilities. Net cash flows provided by operating activities in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $60.7 million, $53.2 million and $58.1 million, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 resulted primarily from increased net income along with the receipt of a cash refund of $10.9 million, including interest, in February 2006 related to the settlement of the IRS audit of tax years 1997 through 2003. This was offset by changes in billed and accrued receivables, deferred revenues, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation, and other assets. The decrease in operating cash flows in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 resulted primarily from decreased net income, along with changes in billed and accrued receivables and deferred revenues, offset by increases in operating cash flows resulting from changes in recoverable income taxes. 46 Net cash flows used in investing activities in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $79.4 million, $79.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. In fiscal 2006, we generated cash of $72.8 million by decreasing our net holdings of marketable securities, and used cash of $146.3 million in the acquisition of businesses (eps and P&H), and $5.9 million to purchase software, property and equipment. In fiscal 2005, we used cash to increase our net holdings of marketable securities by $37.4 million, used $36.6 million to acquire the business of S2 (including $35.7 million paid to owners of S2 as well as acquisition-related expenses), and purchased $5.4 million of software, property and equipment. In fiscal 2004, we purchased $3.9 million of software, property and equipment, and reduced our holdings of marketable securities by $1.0 million. Our net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $45.2 million, ($24.8) million and ($2.8) million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In fiscal 2006, we incurred $75.0 million of debt under our revolving credit facility in connection with the P&H acquisition, used cash of $39.7 million to purchase shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, made payments to third-party financial institutions for debt and capital lease payments totaling $3.8 million, and received proceeds of $14.0 million, including corresponding excess tax benefits, from exercises of stock options. In fiscal 2005, we used cash of $33.0 million to purchase shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, made scheduled payments to third-party financial institutions totaling $7.3 million, and received proceeds of $14.1 million from exercises of stock options. In fiscal 2004, we made scheduled payments to third-party financial institutions totaling $16.4 million and received proceeds of $13.1 million from exercises of stock options. We also realized an increase in cash of $0.03 million, $0.5 million and $2.9 million during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to foreign exchange rate variances. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, marketable securities and cash provided by operating activities, will satisfy our projected liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. 47 Quarterly Results The selected quarterly information has been restated for all quarters of fiscal 2005 and the third quarter of 2006 from previously reported information filed on Form 10-Q and Form 10K, as a result of our restatement of our financial results discussed in this 2006 10-K.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was primarily impacted by the adjustment of cumulative deferred tax balances, the differential between tax effecting income at the statutory federal tax rate in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions in interest and a decrease in which we operate, offset by an increase in nontaxable municipal valuation allowances. (2) As a result of errors discovered in our reconciliation of deferred tax accounts, we recorded an entry to correct a deferred tax benefit that was previously recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. 48 2005 Revenues: Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2005 Restated (1) June 30, 2005 Restated (1) March 31, 2005 Restated (1) Dec. 31, 2004 Restated (1) Software license fees . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As a result of errors discovered in our reconciliation of deferred tax accounts, we recorded an entry to correct a deferred tax benefit that was previously recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. 57 Operating Income (Restated) Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 increase in software license fee revenues, a $1.9 million, or 8.0%, Operating income increased $2.1 million to $15.1 million from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $5.5 million, or 7.5%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. The three-month increase is the result of a $0.1 million, or 0.3%, increase in maintenance fee revenues, and a $3.5 million, or 29.5%, increase in services revenues. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $3.3 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. Cost of maintenance and services for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $0.7 million, or 5.3%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. General and administrative costs for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $1.8 million, or 12.2%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Operating income increased $1.9 million to $16.0 million from $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $0.9 million, or 1.2%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. The three-month decrease is the result of a $1.8 million, or 14.9%, decrease in services revenues, offset by a $0.6 million, or 1.4%, increase in software license fee revenues and a $0.3 million, or 1.2%, increase in maintenance fee revenues. Total fiscal 2005 decreased $2.8 million, or 4.5%, as operating expenses for the second quarter of compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. General and administrative costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $1.4 million, or 8.5%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. Cost of maintenance and services for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $0.9 million, or 6.2%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. Selling and marketing costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $0.8 million, or 4.7%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. R&D costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $0.7 million, or 6.8%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 Operating income increased $6.5 million to $22.0 million from $15.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased $6.6 million, or 8.9%, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. The three-month increase is the result of a $6.6 million, or 15.9%, increase in software license fee revenues and a $0.8 million, or 3.6%, increase in maintenance fee revenues, offset by a $0.8 million, or 6.5%, decrease in services revenues. Income Taxes (Restated) Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 changed from a benefit of 37.7% to a benefit of 33.1%. 58 Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments We lease office space, equipment and the corporate aircraft under operating leases that run through August 2028, and also lease certain property under capital lease agreements that expire in various years through 2010.

We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be proper and reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate the appropriateness of estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following key accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of revenue recognition and other significant accounting policies. Revenue Recognition For software license arrangements for which services rendered are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery, provided (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable, and (3) the fee is fixed or determinable. In most arrangements, because vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the license element, we use the residual method to determine the amount of revenue to be allocated to the license element. Under the residual method, the fair value of all undelivered elements, such as postcontract customer support or other products or services, is deferred and subsequently recognized as the products are delivered or the services are performed, with the residual difference between the total arrangement fee and revenues allocated to undelivered elements being allocated to the delivered element. For software license arrangements in which we have concluded that collectibility issues may exist, revenue is recognized as cash is collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. In making the determination of collectibility, we consider the creditworthiness of the customer, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location, and general economic conditions. Our sales focus continues to shift from our more-established (“mature”) products to our BASE24-eps product and less-established (collectively referred to as “newer”) products. As a result of this shift to newer products, absent other factors, we initially experience an increase in deferred revenue and a corresponding decrease in current period revenue due to differences in the timing of revenue recognition for the respective products. Revenues from newer products are typically recognized upon acceptance or first production use by the customer whereas revenues from mature products, such as BASE24, are generally recognized upon delivery of the product, provided all other 59 conditions for revenue recognition have been met. For those arrangements where revenues are being deferred and we determine that related direct and incremental costs are recoverable, such costs are deferred and subsequently expensed as the revenues are recognized. Newer products are continually evaluated by our management and product development personnel to determine when any such product meets specific internally defined product maturity criteria that would support its classification as a mature product. Evaluation criteria used in making this determination include successful demonstration of product features and functionality; standardization of sale, installation, and support functions; and customer acceptance at multiple production site installations, among others. Ach ange in product classification (from newer to mature) would allow us to recognize revenues from new sales of the product upon delivery of the product rather than upon acceptance or first production use by the customer, resulting in earlier recognition of revenues from sales of that product, as well as related costs, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. BASE24-eps was reclassified as a mature product as of October 1, 2006. the software license fee and services over labor hours incurred to-date to estimated total When a software license arrangement includes services to provide significant modification or customization of software, those services are not considered to be separable from the software. Accounting for such services delivered over time is referred to as contract accounting. Under contract the percentage-of- accounting, we generally use the percentage-of-completion method. Under completion method, we record revenue for the development and implementation period, with the percentage of completion generally measured by the percentage of labor hours for each contract. Estimated total labor hours for each contract are based on the project scope, complexity, skill level requirements, and similarities with other projects of similar size and scope. For those contracts subject to contract accounting, estimates of total revenue and profitability under the contract consider amounts due under extended payment terms. For arrangements where we believe it is reasonably assured that no loss will be incurred under the arrangement and fair value for maintenance services does not exist, we use a zero margin approach of applying percentage-of-completion accounting until software customization services are completed. We exclude revenues due on extended payment terms from our current percentage-of-completion computation until such time that collection of the fees becomes probable. We may execute more than one contract or agreement with a single customer. The separate contracts or agreements may be viewed as one multiple-element arrangement or separate arrangements for revenue recognition purposes. Judgment is required when evaluating the facts and circumstances related to each situation in order to reach appropriate conclusions regarding whether such arrangements are related or separate. Those conclusions can impact the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience, along with additional customer-specific allowances. We regularly monitor credit risk exposures in our accounts receivable. In estimating the necessary level of our allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the aging of our accounts receivable, the creditworthiness of our customers, economic conditions within the customer’s industry, and general economic conditions, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management would also change, which in turn would impact the level of our future provision for doubtful accounts. Specifically, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, affecting their ability to make payments, additional customer-specific provisions for doubtful accounts may be required. Also, should deterioration occur in general economic conditions, or within a particular industry or region in which we have a number of customers, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be recorded to 60 reserve for potential future losses. Any such additional provisions would reduce operating income in the periods in which they were recorded. Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill Our business acquisitions typically result in the recording of intangible assets, and the recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, our intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were $42 million and $14 million, respectively. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements. We assess potential impairments to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on operational performance of our businesses, market conditions and other factors. Although there are inherent uncertainties in this assessment process, the estimates and assumptions used, including estimates of future cash flows, volumes, market penetration and discount rates, are consistent with our internal planning. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge on all or a portion of our intangible assets. Furthermore, we cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events nor the impact such events might have on our reported asset values. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that intangible assets associated with acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), we assess goodwill for impairment at least annually. During this assessment, which is completed as of the end of the fiscal year, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. We assess potential impairments to other intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 18 months to 12 years. Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements, we have applied judgment in choosing how to revise measurement dates for prior option grants. Information regarding the restatement is set forth in the “Explanatory Note” immediately preceding Part I, Item 1 and in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K. Effective October 1, 2005 we began recording compensation expense associated with stock- based awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). We adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123(R), and consequently have not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock-based awards for fiscal year 2006 now includes (1) amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of stock-based awards granted prior to September 30, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; and (2) amortization related to stock-based awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost for stock option awards is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black- Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. 61 We recognize stock-based compensation costs for only those shares that are expected to vest. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. Forfeiture estimates will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Black-Scholes model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. If any of the assumptions used in the Black- Scholes model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially for future awards from that recorded for existing awards. We also have stock options outstanding that vest upon attainment by us of certain market conditions. In order to determine the grant date fair value of these stock options that vest based on the achievement of certain market conditions, a Monte Carlo simulation model is used to estimate (i) the probability that the performance goal will be achieved and (ii) the length of time required to attain the target market price. Long term incentive program performance share awards (“LTIP Performance Shares”) were issued in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005. These awards are earned based on the achievement over a three year period of performance goals related to certain performance indicators. In order to determine compensation expense to be recorded for these LTIP Performance Shares, each quarter management evaluates the probability that if at all, and the anticipated level of attainment. the target performance goals will be achieved, The assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as well as the description of the plans the stock-based awards are granted under are described in further detail in Note 14, “Stock- Based Compensation Plans” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting for Income Taxes Accounting for income taxes requires significant judgments in the development of estimates used in income tax calculations. Such judgments include, but are not limited to, the likelihood we would realize the benefits of net operating loss carryforwards and/or foreign tax credit carryforwards, the adequacy of valuation allowances, and the rates used to measure transactions with foreign the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are subsidiaries. As part of required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The judgments and estimates used are subject to challenge by domestic and foreign taxing authorities. It is possible that either domestic or foreign taxing authorities could challenge those judgments and estimates and draw conclusions that would cause us to incur tax liabilities in excess of, or realize benefits less than, those currently recorded. In addition, changes in the geographical mix or estimated amount of annual pretax income could impact our overall effective tax rate. To the extent recovery of deferred tax assets is not likely, we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Although we have considered future taxable income along with prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, if we should determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period any such determination was made. Likewise, in the event we are able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase income in the period any such determination was made. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which supersedes APB 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 changes the method for reporting an accounting change. Under 62 SFAS No. 154, accounting changes must be retrospectively applied to all prior periods whose financial statements are presented, unless the change in accounting principle is due to a new pronouncement that provides other transition guidance or unless application of the retrospective method is impracticable. Under the retrospective method, companies will no longer present the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in their statement of operations for the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 carries forward unchanged APB 20’s guidance for reporting corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements and for reporting changes in accounting estimates. SFAS No. 154 will be effective for our fiscal year 2007. In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. (“FSP”) FAS 143-1, Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations. FSP FAS 143-1 addresses the accounting for obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “Directive”) adopted by the European Union (“EU”). FSP FAS 143-1 is effective the later of the Company’s fiscal 2006 or the date that an EU member country in which the Company might have an obligation adopts the Directive. To date, the adoption of FSP FAS 143-1 in those countries which have already adopted the Directive has not had a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows and we do not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 143-1 by countries in the future to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2006, the FASB EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06–3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF No. 06-3”). EITF No. 06–3 requires the disclosure of the Company’s accounting policy regarding its gross or net presentation of externally imposed taxes on revenue producing transactions in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. EITF No. 06–3 is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-3 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. to In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF No. 06-2 Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar FASB Statement No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences Benefits Pursuant leave or other similar (“EITF No. 06-2”). EITF No. 06-2 provides guidelines under which sabbatical benefits provided to an employee are considered to accumulate, as defined in FASB Statement 43. If such benefits are deemed to accumulate, then the compensation cost associated with a sabbatical or other similar benefit arrangement should be accrued over the requisite service period. The provisions of this Issue are effective for our fiscal year 2008 and allow for either retrospective application or a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit approach upon adoption. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-2 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which establishes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that this interpretation will have on our financial condition and/or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for our 2009 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements. 63 In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 must be implemented by the end of our fiscal 2007. We are currently assessing the potential effect of SAB 108 on our financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize the changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 158 is effective for the Company as of the end of our fiscal 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to significantly affect our financial condition or results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. FAS 159 is effective for our fiscal year 2008. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of FAS 159 on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We conduct business in all parts of the world and are thereby exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a general rule, our revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. Thus, any decline in the value of local foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar results in our products and services being more expensive to a potential foreign customer, and in the in those instances where our goods and services have already been sold, may result receivables being more difficult times enter into revenue contracts that are denominated in the country’s local currency, principally in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and other European countries. This practice serves as a natural hedge to finance the local currency expenses incurred in those locations. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for the purpose of speculation or arbitrage. to collect. We at The primary objective of our cash investment policy is to preserve principal without significantly increasing risk. Based on our cash investments and interest rates on these investments at September 30, 2006, and if we maintained this level of similar cash investments for a period of one year, a hypothetical ten percent increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease interest income by approximately $0.4 million annually. 64 Based on our debt balances at September 30, 2006, and if we maintained this level of debt for a period of one year, a hypothetical ten percent increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $0.5 million annually. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The required consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are included in this 2006 10-K and are listed in Part IV, Item 15 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Not applicable. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for non-routine transactions, financial reporting, recognition of revenue and income taxes. We believe that these weaknesses resulted primarily from the turnover of our Corporate Controller, Assistant Corporate Controller and Director of Regulatory Reporting during the 2006 accounting close cycle. In addition, certain complex strategic initiatives underway at that time may have served to compound the weaknesses. A material weakness is defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2 as a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In light of matters discussed herein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2006. b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). Under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006. Management based its assessment on criteria established in “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As permitted by applicable requirements, our evaluation of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting exclude P&H Solutions, which was acquired by us on September 29, 2006 and Electronic Payment Systems, which we acquired on May 31, 2006. The combined assets recorded for these businesses represented $213.7 million, or 40.0%, of our 2006 total consolidated assets and contributed $2.9 million, or 0.8%, to total consolidated revenues for fiscal year 2006. 65 During the six-week timeframe from October 3, 2006 to November 10, 2006, we experienced the departure of three key members of the Accounting Department, including our Corporate Controller, Assistant Corporate Controller and Director of Regulatory Reporting. During an overlapping timeframe, we were conducting a publicly announced internal review of historical stock option grants and the accounting treatment thereof, acquired P&H Solutions, divested our Workpoint and eCourier product businesses, finalized the valuation of intellectual property for the transfer of such property between subsidiaries in different jurisdictions, executed a restructuring plan and experienced a significant increase in contract volumes. Management concluded these circumstances contributed to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described below. As of September 30, 2006, we identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. • We did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training to adequately account for complex and non-recurring transactions, including business combinations. As a result of this material weakness, material misstatements existed in goodwill, current asset and liability accounts in our preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. These errors were corrected prior to the finalization of our consolidated 2006 fiscal year financial statements. • We did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training for the financial close process. As a result of this material weakness, our preliminary Statement of Cash Flows overstated ‘Net Cash provided by Operating Activities’, ‘Net Cash used in Investing Activities’ and the ‘Effect of Exchange Rate Fluctuations on Cash’. Additionally, ‘Net Cash provided by Financing Activities’ was understated. Certain items in our preliminary financial statements and related disclosures contained material errors and omissions including errors in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income, significant accounting policies, lease commitments, stock based compensation, segment disclosures and goodwill and other intangibles. Additionally, errors were noted in our earnings per share calculations. These errors were corrected prior to the finalization of our consolidated 2006 fiscal year financial statements. • We did not have a sufficient level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training to ensure the completeness and existence of revenue recognition. As a result of this material weakness, material misstatements in revenue and deferred revenue existed in our preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. These errors were corrected prior to the finalization of our consolidated 2006 fiscal year financial statements. • We did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training in the application of income tax accounting commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Additionally, we did not design adequate internal control procedures related to the transfer of intellectual property between subsidiaries in different tax jurisdictions. As a result of this material weakness, material misstatements in income tax expense, deferred income taxes, income taxes payable and goodwill accounts existed in our preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. These errors were corrected prior to the finalization of our consolidated 2006 fiscal year financial statements. Additionally we have restated income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2006.. 66 As a result of the foregoing, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2006. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the departure of our Corporate Controller, Assistant Corporate Controller and Director of Regulatory Reporting during the 2006 accounting close cycle represent changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting remediation efforts include 1) including the adequacy of accounting resources. Accordingly, establishing detailed project plans, 2) weekly executive review of remediation progress, 3) evaluating our finance organization, talent, processes, and internal controls and 4) improving communications between finance and other constituents involved in the financial closing process. 67 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Stockholders Transaction Systems Architects, Inc.: We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A(b), that Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, because of the effect of material weakness identified in management's assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. the effectiveness of We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment: • The Company did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience, and training to adequately account for complex and nonrecurring transactions, including business combinations. As a result of this material weakness, material misstatements existed in goodwill, current asset, and liability accounts in the Company’s preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. 68 • The Company did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training for the financial close process. As a result of this material weakness, the Company’s preliminary Statement of Cash Flows overstated ‘Net Cash provided by Operating Activities’, ‘Net Cash used in Investing Activities’ and the ‘Effect of Exchange Rate ‘Net Cash provided by Financing Activities’ was Fluctuations on Cash’. understated. Certain items in the Company’s preliminary financial statements and related disclosures contained material errors and omissions including the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income, significant accounting policies, lease commitments, stock based compensation, segment disclosures and goodwill and other intangibles. Additionally, errors were noted in the Company’s earnings per share calculations. Additionally, • The Company did not have a sufficient level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training to ensure the completeness and existence of revenue recognition. As a result of this material weakness, material misstatements in revenue and deferred revenue existed in the Company’s preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. • The Company did not have the appropriate level of staffing with the necessary knowledge, experience and training in the application of income tax accounting commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements. the Company did not design adequate internal control procedures related to the transfer of intellectual property between this material weakness, material subsidiaries in different income taxes payable and misstatements in income tax expense, deferred income taxes, goodwill accounts existed in the Company’s preliminary consolidated fiscal 2006 financial statements. Additionally, the Company has restated income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2006. tax jurisdictions. As a result of Additionally, We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2006. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2006 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated May 10, 2007, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on any of management’s statements in the third paragraph of Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). The Company acquired the businesses of P&H Solutions, Inc. and Electronic Payment Systems, AG during the year ended September 30, 2006, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, the P&H Solutions, Inc.’s and the Electronic Payment Systems, AG’s internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $213.7 million and total revenues of $2.9 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and the for 69 the year ended September 30, 2006. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of P&H Solutions, Inc. and Electronic Payment Systems, AG. /s/ KPMG LLP Omaha, Nebraska May 10, 2007 ITEM 9B.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION linkage with corporate performance and stockholder interests, It is the Board’s general policy that compensation for independent directors should be a mix of cash and equity-based compensation. As part of a director’s total compensation, and to create a the Board believes that a direct meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided in, or otherwise based on, the value of appreciation in the our common stock. We do not pay our employee directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. Prior to setting fiscal 2005 independent director compensation, we engaged Watson Wyatt Worldwide (“Watson Wyatt”) independent director compensation. Utilizing a peer group of similar companies, Watson Wyatt provided an assessment of our independent director compensation. This assessment was considered in establishing the fiscal 2005 compensation program for independent directors and we did not make any change to the compensation program for independent directors for fiscal 2006. to evaluate the competitiveness of our The independent director compensation program provides that each independent director receives a $10,000 quarterly fee. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional $5,000 quarterly fee. The chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $2,500 quarterly fee and independent directors who serve on the Audit Committee receive an additional $1,000 quarterly fee. Each Board committee chairman, other than the chairman of the Audit Committee, receives an additional $1,250 quarterly fee and independent directors who serve on the Board committees, other than the Audit Committee, receive an additional $750 quarterly fee for service on each committee. Each independent director receives $2,000 for each Board or Board committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 for each Board or Board committee meeting attended by telephone. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and Board committee meetings and our annual meetings of stockholders. In fiscal 2006, our independent directors were each granted a non-qualified option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan. All stock options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan are issued with an exercise price not less than the closing sale price (price for last trade) of the common stock as reported by The NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market for the day preceding the date of grant. The independent director options will vest on the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is one year following the date of grant, and (ii) the day immediately prior to the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders occurring following the date of grant. The independent director options provide for accelerated vesting upon the director’s death or disability or upon a change in control of the company. Future equity awards will be granted at the discretion of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Corporate Governance Committee”) based upon continued evaluations of the competitive assessment of our independent director compensation and the level of Board and committee responsibilities and time commitments. 77 The Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a policy that strongly encourages ownership of our common stock by our directors in order to further align the interests of the Board to our long- term success and the interests of our stockholders. EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS CEO Employment Agreement On March 8, 2005, we entered into an Employment Agreement (the “CEO Employment Agreement”) with Philip G. Heasley, pursuant to which Mr. Heasley agreed to serve as our President and CEO for an initial term of four years. A copy of the CEO Employment Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 10, 2005. Under the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Heasley will be employed through March 8, 2009 (the “Employment Period”), after which the Employment Period will be extended for successive one-year periods, unless we give 30 days written notice to Mr. Heasley that the Employment Period will not be extended for an additional year or unless the Employment Period otherwise terminates. So long as Mr. Heasley continues to serve as President and CEO, the Board will nominate Mr. Heasley to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. The CEO Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Heasley will receive an initial base salary of $500,000 per year as well as other compensation, including bonus opportunities, as set forth in the CEO Employment Agreement. For fiscal year 2005, Mr. Heasley’s bonus was based on (i) the achievement of the financial performance objectives set forth in the 2005 Fiscal Year Management Incentive Compensation Plan, and (ii) the attainment of certain internal planning objectives. The CEO Employment Agreement requires that Mr. Heasley purchase and hold, during the initial Employment Period, a minimum of 100,000 shares of our common stock. At the end of fiscal 2006, Mr. Heasley held 113,877 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, if Mr. Heasley’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Heasley for good reason, Mr. Heasley will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to his bonus for the quarter in which his employment is terminated; (ii) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of (A) his base salary at the time of termination and (B) his average annual bonus amount received during our two most recent fiscal years ending prior to the date of termination; and (iii) continued participation in our medical and dental plans for two years or until he is covered under the plans of another employer. Mr. Heasley will also be subject to non- competition obligations for a period of one year following termination of his employment. The CEO Employment Agreement also provides that if payments by us to Mr. Heasley would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Heasley will be entitled to a gross up payment such that he will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. the Change in Control Severance Compensation Agreement (as described below), no payment will be made to Mr. Heasley under the CEO Employment Agreement. If Mr. Heasley is entitled to payments under Launder Employment Agreement ACI Worldwide (EMEA) Limited (“ACI EMEA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, and Richard N. Launder are parties to a Services Agreement dated July 10, 2000 (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, either party may terminate employment upon six months prior written notice, or payment in lieu thereof, and ACI EMEA may terminate Mr. Launder’s employment immediately for breach or non-performance of his obligations under the Services Agreement. Upon termination of to certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations for a period of six months following termination of his employment regardless of the reason for termination. the Services Agreement, Mr. Launder is subject 78 CEO Change in Control Severance Agreement On March 8, 2005, in connection with the entry into the CEO Employment Agreement described above, we entered into a Change in Control Severance Compensation Agreement (the “CEO Change in Control Agreement”) with Mr. Heasley. The CEO Change in Control Agreement provides for a severance payment if Mr. Heasley’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Heasley with good reason within two years after a change in control of the company. A copy of the CEO Change in Control Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 10, 2005. The CEO Change in Control Agreement provides that the severance payment will be a lump sum cash payment and will include (i) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of (A) his base salary at the time of termination and (B) his average annual bonus amount received during the two most recent fiscal years of the company ending prior to the date of termination; (ii) his earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination of employment; (iii) a quarterly incentive award for the current fiscal quarter, prorated through the date of termination of employment; and (iv) interest on the amounts described in (i), (ii) and (iii). Additionally, Mr. Heasley will be entitled to continued participation in our employee benefit plans and programs for two years or until he receives equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans or programs of a subsequent employer. The CEO Change in Control Agreement also provides that if payments by us to Mr. Heasley would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Heasley will be entitled to a gross up payment such that he will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. Change in Control and Severance Compensation Agreements At the end of fiscal 2006, we had entered into Change in Control Severance Compensation Agreements (the “Severance Agreements”) with four of the Named Executive Officers, five other executive officers and six other employees. As of May 8, 2007, we had Severance Agreements with four of the Named Executive Officers, four other executive officers and five other employees. The Severance Agreement for Mr. Heasley is described under “CEO Change in Control Severance Agreement” and is not included in the numbers for named executive officers listed above. The following is a summary of the other Severance Agreements. Generally, the Severance Agreements provide that if there is a change in control (as defined in the Severance Agreements) of the company and the employee’s employment with us is subsequently terminated within two years after the change in control, other than as a result of death, retirement, termination by us for cause or the employee’s decision to terminate employment other than for good reason, the employee will be entitled to receive from us certain payments and benefits. These payments and benefits include (i) a lump-sum payment (the “Lump-Sum Payment”) equal to the employee’s average fiscal-year compensation for our two most recent fiscal years of ending prior to the date of termination; (ii) earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination; (iii) a quarterly incentive award for the current fiscal quarter prorated through the date of termination equal to the greater of the quarterly incentive award made to the employee for the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of termination or the average quarterly incentive award made to the employee for the most recent three fiscal years ending prior to the date of termination; (iv) interest on the amounts described in (i), (ii) and (iii); and (v) unless the employee’s termination of employment is the result of the employee’s disability, continued participation at our cost in employee benefit plans available to our employees generally in which the employee was participating, until the earlier of receiving equivalent benefits from a subsequent employer or one year from the date of termination. For purposes of the Severance Agreements, an employee’s fiscal-year compensation generally includes compensation includable in the gross income of the employee, but excludes amounts realized on the exercise of non-qualified stock options, amounts realized from the sale of stock acquired under an incentive stock option or an employee stock purchase plan and compensation 79 deferrals made pursuant to any plan or arrangement maintained by us. In the case of two executive officers, the Lump-Sum Payment shall in no event be less than two times the employee’s annual rate of base salary at the higher of the annual rate in effect (i) immediately prior to the date of termination or (ii) on the date six months prior to the date of termination. In the case of the other executive officers and other employees party to the Severance Agreements, the Lump-Sum Payment shall in no event be less than one times the employee’s annual rate of base salary at the higher of the annual rate in effect (i) immediately prior to the date of termination or (ii) on the date six months prior to the date of termination. Under the Severance Agreements, in the event of a change in control, unvested awards and benefits (other than stock options or awards) allocated to the employee under incentive plans shall fully vest and become payable in cash. However, vesting of stock options or other awards may accelerate upon a change in control as set forth in the applicable option or award agreement. The Severance Agreements provide that in the event any payment by us would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the employee with respect to such excise tax, then the employee will be entitled to an additional payment in an amount such that, after payment by the employee of all taxes, the employee is in the same after- tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. Under the Severance Agreements, we agree to indemnify the employee to the fullest extent permitted by law if the employee is a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding in which the employee is involved by reason of the fact that the employee is or was a director or officer of ours, by reason of any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting as director or officer of ours or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of us as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise. We also agree to obtain and maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the employee. The Severance Agreements terminate upon the earlier of (a) termination of employment for any reason prior to a change in control or (b) three years after the date of a change in control. In addition to the above Severance Agreements, we entered into Severance Compensation Agreements (the “Severance Compensation Agreements”) with one executive officer that joined us during fiscal 2004 and two executive officers that joined us in fiscal 2003. A form of the Severance Compensation Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2004 and as Exhibit 10.15 to our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2003. As of May 8, 2007, we only have Severance Compensation Agreements with the two executive officers that joined us in fiscal 2003. The Severance Compensation Agreements provide that if the employee’s employment with us is terminated, other than as a result of death, disability, retirement or termination by us for cause, the employee will be entitled to receive from us a lump-sum payment within five days after the date of termination and certain benefits. The lump-sum payment and benefits include (i) base salary for six months; (ii) earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination; (iii) a quarterly incentive award for the current fiscal quarter prorated through the date of termination equal to the quarterly incentive award made to the employee for the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of termination; and (iv) continued participation at our cost in employee benefit plans available to our employees generally in which the employee was participating, until the earlier of receiving equivalent benefits from a subsequent employer or six months from the date of termination. Non-Compete Agreements Each of Messrs. Parkinson and Vipond are parties to the Stock and Warrant Holders Agreement, dated as of December 31, 1993, whereby each has agreed not to compete with us for so long as he is employed by us. At our election, the non-compete agreement may be extended for two years after termination of employment provided that, we pay for a period of two years, in accordance with our normal pay periods, 50% of the individual’s average annual compensation, defined to be the average annual compensation (consisting of salary and cash compensation pursuant to incentive plans) for 80 the three calendar years preceding the date of termination if termination of employment is voluntary or for cause and 100% if employment terminates for any other reason. REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE We have a standing Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a charter (the “Compensation Committee Charter”) approved and adopted by the Board. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is available on our website at www.tsainc.com in the Investor Relations — Corporate Governance section. The Compensation Committee members are Messrs. Alexander, Kever and Seymour, each of whom served for all of fiscal 2006 and is “independent” as defined in Rule 4200(a) of the NASD listing standards. The Compensation Committee approves base salary and incentive compensation for, and addresses other compensation matters with respect to, our officers, including executive officers. The Compensation Committee grants all stock options and other equity awards to executive officers and other employees based on management recommendations. Compensation Philosophy and Process We operate in the extremely competitive and rapidly changing technology industry. Our compensation program is intended to provide executive officers with overall levels of compensation opportunity that are competitive within the software and computer services industries, as well as within a broader spectrum of companies of comparable size and complexity. Our compensation program is structured and administered to (i) attract, motivate and retain talented executives responsible for our success, (ii) support our business strategy and (iii) generate favorable returns for our stockholders by aligning the interests of executive officers with those of stockholders. Prior to setting fiscal 2006 executive officer compensation, we engaged Watson Wyatt to provide the overall executive officer independent advice regarding the structure and competitiveness of compensation program. Competitive data from a peer group of similar companies approved by the Compensation Committee was utilized in the establishment of the fiscal 2006 compensation program for executive officers. Compensation Components Our fiscal 2006 executive compensation program consisted of base salaries, annual incentive plans, and long-term equity incentive awards. Base Salary. Each executive officer’s base salary, except is based on the recommendation of the CEO to the Compensation Committee taking into account competitive data from the peer group as well as our operating budget incentive compensation and long-term equity, the performance of a particular executive’s business unit or department in relation to established strategic plans, and our overall operating performance. for the year, relative levels of the CEO’s, Incentive Compensation Plan. A cash incentive compensation plan is established for each executive officer at the beginning of each fiscal year as part of the review of our strategic plan and establishment of our annual operating budget. The CEO provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee for incentive compensation for each executive officer, excluding himself. In fiscal 2006, an executive’s potential compensation under our incentive compensation plans was related to our revenue, operating margins, recurring revenue, the financial performance of the executive’s division or department and individual business objectives, with each component having an established weighting within a plan. The plans provided for incentive payments ranging from 0% to 200% of the targeted incentive with 10% of the targeted incentive compensation being earned for 91% achievement of the established components to 200% of the targeted incentive compensation being earned for 108.3% achievement of the established components. The incentive compensation earned 81 during fiscal 2006 by our executive officers exceeded targeted levels established for one executive officer. Long-Term Equity Compensation. In fiscal 2006, long-term equity compensation consisted of the expected value of stock options and LTIP Performance Shares (as defined below). The goal of our long-term equity compensation is to align the interests of executive officers with stockholders and to provide each executive officer with an incentive to manage the company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Stock Options. Stock options are granted to executive officers and other key employees in amounts based upon their position and individual performance. Stock options are granted at fair market value at the time of grant and have a term of ten years. Each stock option grant allows the executive officer to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price per share based on the fair market value at the time of grant. The stock option grants will only provide a return to the executive if our common stock appreciates over the option term. LTIP Performance Shares. In late fiscal 2005, we adopted a long term-incentive program (“LTIP”) pursuant to which our executive officers and other senior managers will be eligible to receive performance shares representing shares of our common stock (“LTIP Performance Shares”) on an annual basis. The LTIP Performance Shares are earned based upon the achievement, over a three- year period (the “Performance Period”), of performance goals relating to the following: (a) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the 60-month contracted backlog for the company and all subsidiaries as determined by us, (b) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the diluted earnings per share as reported in our financial statements, and (c) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the total revenues as reported in our financial statements. Each of the performance goals will have an established weighting within the applicable annual statement of performance goals. Together with stock options, LTIP Performance Shares serve to align executives’ interests with stockholders and provide incentives for the creation of long-term stockholder value. The Performance Period for the initial grant of LTIP Performance Shares commenced with fiscal 2006 and runs through fiscal 2008. CEO’s Compensation. On March 8, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Philip G. Heasley (the “CEO Employment Agreement”). The CEO Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Heasley will receive an initial base salary of $500,000 per year and shall be eligible for on- target incentive compensation of $500,000 per year. In determining the CEO compensation, we engaged Watson Wyatt to provide a competitive analysis of CEO compensation and, along with other of our outside advisors, to provide advice and counsel on the material terms of the CEO Employment Agreement. The Compensation Committee believes that the structure of Mr. Heasley’s compensation, consisting of base salary, incentive compensation and stock option awards, aligns Mr. Heasley’s interests with the long-term interest of our stockholders. As of the date of the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Heasley’s annualized base salary of $500,000 was between the 50th and 75th percentile of the competitive market data provided by Watson Wyatt. At 100% of his base salary, Mr. Heasley’s on-target incentive compensation is a significant portion of his total potential annual compensation. The Compensation Committee determined that tying a significant portion of Mr. Heasley’s potential annual compensation to performance criteria established under our incentive compensation plans provides appropriate incentive for Mr. Heasley to achieve our financial and strategic objectives. As of the date of the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Heasley’s total on-target annualized compensation of $1,000,000 was at approximately the 75th percentile of the competitive market data. For fiscal 2006, Mr. Heasley’s cash incentive compensation was based upon the achievement of key financial performance objectives established under our 2006 incentive compensation plan for executive officers generally. In accordance with the terms of our 2006 incentive compensation plan, 82 Mr. Heasley received fiscal 2006 cash incentive compensation of $360,378 which represents 72% of his annual on-target amount. Pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, we granted Mr. Heasley an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $22.65 per share. Six hundred thousand (600,000) of the option shares are time-vested and will vest 25% per year beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant. The remaining four hundred thousand (400,000) of the option shares are performance-vested and will vest, if at all, upon the attainment by us, at any time following the second anniversary of the date of grant of the option, of a market price per share of our common stock of at least $50 for 60 consecutive trading days. Mr. Heasley’s stock option agreement provides for accelerated vesting of the option shares under certain circumstances as set forth in the option agreements. On December 13, 2005, we granted Mr. Heasley 12,000 LTIP Performance Shares with a grant date fair value of $29.96 per share. These Performance Shares are earned, if at all, based upon the achievement during a Performance Period from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2008, of performance goals related to (i) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in our 60-month contracted backlog as determined by us, (ii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the diluted earnings per share as reported in our consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the total revenues as reported in our consolidated financial statements. The performance goal weightings are 20% for 60-month contracted backlog, 40% for diluted earnings per share and 40% for total revenues. In no event will any of Mr. Heasley’s LTIP Performance Shares become earned if our earnings per share is below a predetermined minimum threshold level at the conclusion of the Performance Period. The CEO Employment Agreement requires that Mr. Heasley purchase and hold during the initial four-year term of the agreement a minimum of 100,000 shares of our common stock. At the end of fiscal 2006, Mr. Heasley held 113,877 shares of our common stock. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1,000,000 paid to the corporation’s CEO and the four other most highly compensated executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. the Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. No member of Compensation Committee was at any time during fiscal 2006, or at any other time, an officer or employee of ours. No executive officer of ours serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee. 83 PERFORMANCE GRAPH In accordance with applicable SEC rules, the following table shows a line-graph presentation comparing cumulative stockholder return on an indexed basis with a broad equity market index and either a nationally-recognized industry standard or an index of peer companies selected by us.

The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan as restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units (after taking into account forfeitures, expirations and transfers upon satisfaction of any withholding amount) is 2,500,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the acquisition of MessagingDirect, Ltd. (“MDL”) in 2001, we assumed the MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan. Options under this plan became 100% vested upon the acquisition and have terms of eight years from the original date of grant by MDL. Under the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, options vest annually over a period of three years and have a term of ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted under the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan is equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the time of grant. Stockholder approval was neither required nor received in connection with the adoption of these plans and arrangements. Of the 14,712 outstanding options under these plans, 2,212 are options outstanding under the MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan and 12,500 are options outstanding In connection with stockholder under the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. approval of the 2005 Incentive Plan, the Board terminated both the MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan and the 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan.

Information Regarding Stock Ownership The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock as of May 8, 2007 by (i) each of our directors, (ii) each of our Named Executive Officers, (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group, and (iv) each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock. The percentages in this table are based on 37,159,895 outstanding shares of common stock, exclusive of 3,661,621 shares of common stock held as treasury stock by us. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the 85 SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services We have adopted policies and procedures for pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services to be provided to us by our independent auditor and its member firms. Under these policies and procedures, all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent auditor must be approved by the Audit Committee. A proposal for audit and non-audit services must include a description and purpose of the services, estimated fees and other terms of the services. To the extent a proposal relates to non-audit services, a determination that such services qualify as permitted non- audit services and an explanation as to why the provision of such services would not impair the independence of the independent auditor are also required. Any engagement letter relating to a proposal must be presented to the Audit Committee for review and approval, and the chairman of the Audit Committee may sign, or authorize an officer of us to sign, such engagement letter. All services provided by the independent auditor in fiscal 2006 were approved by the Audit Committee. 88 ITEM 15.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2005, have been restated. In 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), Share- Based Payment. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 10, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and an adverse opinion on the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Transaction Systems Architects, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TSA” or the “Company”), develop, market, install and support a broad line of software products and services primarily focused on facilitating electronic payments. In addition to its own products, the Company distributes, or acts as a sales agent for software developed by third parties. These products and services are used principally by financial retailers, and electronic-payment processors, both in domestic and international markets. institutions, The Company derives a substantial portion of its total revenues from licensing its BASE24 family of software products and providing services and maintenance related to those products. During fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately 57%, 57%, and 59%, respectively, of the Company’s total include the revenues were derived from licensing the BASE24 product BASE24-eps product, and providing related services and maintenance. A substantial majority of the Company’s licenses are time-based (“term”) licenses. line, which does not Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Recently acquired subsidiaries that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition include: eps Electronic Payment Systems AG (“eps”), and its (“P&H”), acquired during 2006; and subsidiaries acquired during 2006; P&H Solutions, Inc. S2 Systems, Inc. (“S2”), acquired during 2005. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition, Accrued Receivables and Deferred Revenue Software License Fees. The Company recognizes software license fee revenue in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”), and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as codified by SAB 104, Revenue Recognition. For software license arrangements for which services rendered are not considered essential the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery, provided (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed or determinable. In most arrangements, vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value does not exist for the license element; therefore, the Company uses the residual method under SOP 98-9 to determine the amount of revenue to be allocated to the license element. Under SOP 98-9, the fair value of all undelivered elements, such as postcontract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) or other to the functionality of the software, 99 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) products or services, is deferred and subsequently recognized as the products are delivered or the services are performed, with the residual difference between the total arrangement fee and revenues allocated to undelivered elements being allocated to the delivered element. the percentage-of-completion method, When a software license arrangement includes services to provide significant modification or customization of software, those services are not separable from the software and are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts (“ARB No. 45”), and the relevant guidance provided by SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (“SOP 81-1”). Accounting for services delivered over time (generally in excess of twelve months) under ARB No. 45 and SOP 81-1 is referred to as contract accounting. Under contract accounting, the Company generally uses the percentage-of-completion method. Under the Company records revenue for the software license fee and services over the development and implementation period, with the percentage of completion generally measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to-date to estimated total labor hours for each contract. For those contracts subject to percentage-of-completion contract accounting, estimates of total revenue and profitability under the contract consider amounts due under extended payment terms. In certain cases, the Company provides its customers with extended payment terms whereby payment is deferred beyond when the services are rendered. In other projects, the Company provides its customer with extended payment terms that are refundable in the event certain milestones are not achieved or the project scope changes. The Company excludes revenues due on extended payment terms from its current percentage-of-completion computation until such time that collection of the fees becomes probable. In the event project profitability is assured and estimable within a range, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition is computed using the lowest level of profitability in the range. If the range of profitability is not estimable but some level of profit is assured, revenues are recognized to the extent direct and incremental costs are incurred until such time that project profitability can be estimated. In the event some level of profitability cannot be reasonably assured, completed-contract accounting is applied. For software license arrangements in which a significant portion of the fee is due more than 12 months after delivery, the software license fee is deemed not to be fixed or determinable. For software license arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or determinable, the software license fee is recognized as revenue as payments become due and payable, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. For software license arrangements in which the Company has concluded that collection of the fees is not probable, revenue is recognized as cash is collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. In making the determination of collectibility, the Company considers the creditworthiness of the customer, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location, and general economic conditions. SOP 97-2 requires the seller of software that includes PCS to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the PCS revenue. For certain of the Company’s products, VSOE of the fair value of PCS is determined by a consistent pricing of PCS and PCS renewals as a percentage of the software license fees. In other products, the Company determines VSOE by reference to contractual renewals, when the renewal terms are substantive. In those cases where VSOE of the fair value of PCS is determined by reference to contractual renewals, the Company considers factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal rate is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. 100 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) In the absence of customer-specific acceptance provisions, software license arrangements generally grant customers a right of refund or replacement only if the licensed software does not perform in accordance with its published specifications. If the Company’s product history supports an assessment by management the Company recognizes revenue when all other criteria of revenue recognition are met. the likelihood of non-acceptance is remote, that For those software license arrangements that include customer-specific acceptance provisions, such provisions are generally presumed to be substantive and the Company does not recognize revenue until the earlier of the receipt of a written customer acceptance, objective demonstration that the delivered product meets the customer-specific acceptance criteria or the expiration of the acceptance period. The Company also defers the recognition of revenue on transactions involving less-established or newly released software products that do not have a product history. The receipt of written Company recognizes revenues on such arrangements upon the earlier of acceptance or the first production use of the software by the customer. For software license arrangements in which the Company acts as a sales agent for another company’s products, revenues are recorded on a net basis. These include arrangements in which the Company does not take title to the products, is not responsible for providing the product or service, earns a fixed commission, and assumes credit risk only to the extent of its commission. For software license arrangements in which the Company acts as a distributor of another company’s product, and in certain circumstances, modifies or enhances the product, revenues are recorded on a gross basis. These include arrangements in which the Company takes title to the products and is responsible for providing the product or service. For software license arrangements in which the Company permits the customer to vary their software mix, including the right to receive unspecified future software products during the software license term, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the license term, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For software license arrangements in which the customer is charged variable software license fees based on usage of the product, the Company recognizes revenue as usage occurs over the term of the licenses, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements are short-term, time-based license arrangements; allow the customer to vary their software mix; or include PCS terms that fail to achieve VSOE of fair value due to non-substantive renewal rates. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues are therefore recognized ratably over the PCS term. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually-specified amounts assigned to the various elements, including software license fees, maintenance fees and services revenue. The following are amounts included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations for which VSOE of fair value does not exist for each element (in thousands): Software license fees . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Maintenance Fees. Revenues for PCS are recognized ratably over the maintenance term specified in the contract. In arrangements where VSOE of fair value of PCS cannot be determined (for example, a time-based software license with a duration of one year or less), the Company recognizes revenue for the entire arrangement ratably over the PCS term. For those arrangements that meet the criteria to be accounted for under contract accounting, the Company determines whether VSOE exists for the PCS element. For those situations in which VSOE exists for the PCS element, PCS is accounted for separately and the balance of the arrangement is accounted for under ARB No. 45 and the relevant guidance provided by SOP 81-1. For those arrangements in which VSOE does not exist for the PCS element, revenue is recognized to the extent direct and incremental costs are incurred until such time as the services are complete when the Company believes that the contract will not result in a loss. Once services are complete, all remaining revenue is then recognized ratably over the remaining PCS period. Services. The Company provides various professional services to customers, primarily project management, software implementation and software modification services. Revenues from arrangements to provide professional services are generally recognized as the related services are performed. For those arrangements in which services revenue is deferred and the Company determines that the costs of services are recoverable, such costs are deferred and subsequently expensed in proportion to the services revenue as it is recognized. Accrued Receivables. Accrued receivables represent amounts to be billed in the near future (less than 12 months). Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue includes (1) amounts currently due and payable from customers, and payments received from customers, for software licenses, maintenance and/or services in advance of providing the product or performing services, (2) amounts deferred whereby VSOE of the fair value of undelivered elements in a bundled arrangement does not exist, and (3) amounts deferred if other conditions for revenue recognition have not been met. The Company may execute more than one contract or agreement with a single customer. The separate contracts or agreements may be viewed as one multiple-element arrangement or separate agreements for revenue recognition purposes. The Company evaluates the facts and circumstances related to each situation in order to reach appropriate conclusions regarding whether such arrangements are related or separate. The conclusions reached can impact the timing of revenue recognition related to those arrangements. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company classifies its investments in auction rate notes as marketable securities. Although auction rate notes are AAA rated and are traded via the auction process within a period of three months or less, these securities as marketable securities is appropriate due to the potential uncertainties inherent with any auction process plus the long-term nature of the underlying securities. The Company considers all other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. the Company determined that classification of Concentrations of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of 102 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) a contract. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposures. Potential concentration of credit risk in the Company’s receivables with respect financial services and telecommunications industries, as well as with retailers, processors and networks is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation procedures and geographical dispersion of sales transactions. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable.

Software Software consists of internally-developed software and purchased software. Internally developed software may be for internal use or available for sale. Costs related to certain internally-developed software, which is available for sale, are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (“SFAS No. 86”), when the resulting product reaches technological feasibility. The Company generally determines technological feasibility when it has a detailed program design that takes product function, feature and technical requirements to their most detailed, logical form and is ready for coding. Internally-developed software for internal use is capitalized in accordance with 103 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“internal-use software”). Purchased software consists of computer software obtained from third-party suppliers for internal use that is capitalized in accordance with SOP 98-1. Purchased software also consists of software that was acquired primarily as the result of a business acquisition whether for internal use (accounted for in accordance with SOP 98-1) or to be marketed externally (“acquired software”) (accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86). Amortization of internally-developed software costs to be sold or marketed and purchased software acquired as a result of a business combination to be marketed externally, begins when the product is available for licensing to customers and is determined on a product-by-product basis. The annual amortization shall be the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, including the period being reported on. Due to competitive pressures, it may be possible that the estimates of anticipated future gross revenue or remaining estimated economic life of the software product will be reduced significantly. As a result, the carrying amount of the software product may be reduced accordingly. Amortization of including internally-developed and purchased software, is generally computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three years. internal-use software, Goodwill and Other Intangibles In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), the Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually. During this assessment, which is completed as of the end of the fiscal year, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. The Company assesses potential impairments to other intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 18 months to 12 years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded if the sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of the impairment charge is measured based upon the fair value of the asset. Debt — Financing Agreements In the past, as an element of its cash management program, the Company periodically sold rights to future payment streams under software license arrangements with extended payment terms. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues, the Company recorded the proceeds received from these financing agreements as debt. The Company reduces the debt principal as payments are made. Interest on the debt accrues monthly and is computed using the effective interest method. 104 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Treasury Stock The Company accounts for shares of its common stock that are repurchased without intent to retire as treasury stock. Such shares are recorded at cost and reflected separately on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The Company issues shares of treasury stock upon exercise of stock options and for issuances of common stock pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. The Company also issued shares of treasury stock in connection with the eps acquisition in which the Company issued restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. For purposes of determining the cost of the treasury shares re-issued, the Company uses the average cost method. Stock-Based Compensation Plans On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on estimated fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) also amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, to require that excess tax benefits, as defined, realized from the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flows from operations. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, which does not modify any of SFAS No. 123(R)’s conclusions or requirements, but rather includes recognition, measurement and disclosure guidance for companies as they implement SFAS No. 123(R). The Company applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). All of the Company’s existing stock-based compensation awards have been determined to be equity-classified awards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, the Company is required to recognize noncash compensation costs for the portion of stock-based awards that are outstanding as of October 1, 2005 for which the requisite service has not been rendered (i.e. nonvested awards). The compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”). The Company will recognize compensation cost relating to the nonvested portion of those awards in the financial statements beginning with the date on which SFAS No. 123(R) is adopted through the end of the requisite service period. Under the financial statements are unchanged for periods prior to adoption and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 for those prior periods will continue to be required to the extent those amounts differ from the amounts in the statement of operations. the modified prospective transition method, In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount of expense recognized. Forfeiture estimates will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for periods prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), forfeitures as they occurred. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in operating expenses depending on where the respective individual’s compensation is recorded. The Company generally utilizes the Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The option-pricing model the Company accounted for 105 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as well as the description of the plans the stock-based awards are granted under are described in further detail in Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans”. During fiscal 2005, the Company granted 400,000 stock options with a grant date fair value of $9.12 per share and 40,000 stock options with agr ant date fair value of $11.36 per share that vest, if at all, at any time following the second anniversary of the date of grant, upon attainment by the Company of a market price of at least $50 per share for sixty consecutive trading days. In order to determine the grant date fair value of the stock options granted during fiscal 2005 that vest based on the achievement of certain market conditions, a Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate (i) the probability that the performance goal will be achieved and (ii) the length of time required to attain the target market price. The Monte Carlo simulation model analyzed the Company’s historical price movements, changes in the value of The NASDAQ Stock Market over time, and the correlation coefficient and beta between the Company’s stock price and The NASDAQ Stock Market. These awards are expensed over the derived service period of 3.6 years. Pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, the Company grants to key long-term incentive program performance share awards (“LTIP Performance Shares”) employees of the Company, including named executive officers. These LTIP Performance Shares are earned, if at all, based upon the achievement, over a three-year period (the “Performance Period”), of performance goals related to (i) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the Company’s 60-month contracted backlog as determined by the Company, (ii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the diluted earnings per share as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the total revenues as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In no event will any of the LTIP Performance Shares become earned if the Company’s earnings per share is below a predetermined minimum threshold level at the conclusion of the Performance Period. Expense related to these awards is accrued if the attainment of performance indicators is probable as determined by management. The expense is recognized over the three year Performance Period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for its stock option plans using the intrinsic-value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB Opinion No. 25”), and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options. Additionally, there were certain awards that were accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under that method, charges or benefits are taken each reporting period to reflect increases or decreases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. Translation of Foreign Currencies The Company’s foreign subsidiaries typically use the local currency of the countries in which they are located as their functional currency. Their assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. that are not Transaction gains and losses, including those related to intercompany accounts, 106 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) considered to be of a long-term investment nature are included in the determination of net income. Transaction gains and losses, including those related to intercompany accounts, that are considered to be of a long-term investment nature are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically assesses its tax exposures and establishes, or adjusts, estimated reserves for probable assessments by taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service, and various foreign and state authorities. Such reserves represent the estimated provision for income taxes expected to ultimately be paid. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which supersedes APB 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 changes the method for reporting an accounting change. Under SFAS No. 154, accounting changes must be retrospectively applied to all prior periods whose financial statements are presented, unless the change in accounting principle is due to a new pronouncement that provides other transition guidance or unless application of the retrospective method is impracticable. Under the retrospective method, companies will no longer present the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in their statement of operations for the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 carries forward unchanged APB 20’s guidance for reporting corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements and for reporting changes in accounting estimates. SFAS No. 154 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2007. In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. (“FSP”) FAS 143-1, Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations. FSP FAS 143-1 addresses the accounting for obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “Directive”) adopted by the European Union (“EU”). FSP FAS 143-1 is effective the later of the Company’s fiscal 2006 or the date that an EU member country in which the Company might have an obligation adopts the Directive. To date, the adoption of FSP FAS 143-1 in those countries which have already adopted the Directive has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and the Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 143-1 by countries in the future to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2006, the FASB EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF No. 06-3”). EITF No. 06-3 requires the disclosure of the Company’s accounting policy regarding its gross or net presentation of externally imposed taxes on revenue producing transactions in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. EITF No. 06-3 is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. The 107 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-3 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. to In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF No. 06-2 Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar FASB Statement No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences Benefits Pursuant (“EITF No. 06-2”). EITF No. 06-2 provides guidelines under which sabbatical leave or other similar benefits provided to an employee are considered to accumulate, as defined in FASB Statement 43. If such benefits are deemed to accumulate, then the compensation cost associated with a sabbatical or other similar benefit arrangement should be accrued over the requisite service period. The provisions of this Issue are effective for our fiscal year 2008 and allow for either retrospective application or a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit approach upon adoption. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-2 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which establishes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this interpretation will have on its financial condition and/or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements. In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 must be implemented by the end of the Company’s fiscal 2007. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SAB 108 on its financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize the changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 158 is effective for the Company as of the end of its fiscal 108 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to significantly affect its financial condition or results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. FAS 159 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative- effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of FAS 159 on its Consolidated Financial Statements. 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements Stock Based Compensation Expense: The Company initiated a review of its historical stock option granting practices following general public reports about option granting issues among public companies. The review was self-initiated and not prompted by any inquiry from a regulatory body, a “whistleblower” or other source. On October 27, 2006, the Company publicly announced a voluntary internal review (“the review”). The review was conducted by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (“the board”) with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic accountants. On March 16, 2007, the Company publicly announced the completion and key results of the review. The independent counsel and its forensic accountants reviewed paper files, e-mails and electronic files; conducted interviews with current and former members of the board’s compensation committee, current and former directors, officers, employees and advisors; and conducted an extensive analysis of facts and circumstances related to all stock option grants made from the date of the Company’s IPO in 1995 to 2006. In the course of the review, measurement date errors were noted. The Company applied the accounting standards then in effect to determine, for every grant, the proper measurement dates. As a result, the Company has restated its prior period financial statements to account for any stock-based compensation charges associated with the revised measurement dates. Accordingly, additional non- cash compensation expense and related tax effects are recorded over the relevant option service periods. The Company previously applied APB Opinion No. 25, and its related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures under FAS No. 123 through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. APB Opinion No. 25, and its related interpretations required stock-based compensation expense to be recognized for any stock option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date, and expense to be recognized over the service period of the stock option. The measurement date, as defined by APB Opinion No. 25, is the first date on which both (1) the number of stock options that an individual employee is entitled to receive and (2) the exercise price, if any, are established. 109 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During the period from the IPO in 1995 through 2002, the Company issued a total of approximately 8.8 million stock options. Major classifications of the options granted during this time were: broad-based grants to employees excluding the CEO and CFO (5.2 million stock options); CEO and CFO grants (1.4 million stock options); 1997 Management Plan excluding the CEO and CFO (0.8 million stock options); employee recognition awards (0.2 million stock options); non-employee director grants (0.2 million stock options). The remaining grants relate to employee hiring and promotions. Approximately 92%, or 8.1 million of the stock options granted in this period, were granted pursuant to 18 large grants and the remainder was granted pursuant to approximately 360 small grants. Broad-Based Annual Grants to Employees Excluding the CEO and CFO — Approximately 5.2 million of the 8.8 million stock options issued during this period were issued pursuant to seven awards to over 2,000 employees, excluding options granted to the CEO and CFO. Prior to 2003, based upon formal board action and informal consultations with board members, the CEO and CFO believed they had been delegated authority to carry out the employee option granting process. Generally, the CEO approved the numbers of options and recipients, while the CFO set the grant date, which determined the exercise price. For these grants, the review identified that the Compensation Committee and the CEO typically discussed the general allocation of stock options prior to the grant. The stock option granting process then included gathering recommendations from division level managers for the allocation of options within those divisions. When the proposed stock option lists were submitted by the manager, they were reviewed and approved by the CEO or CFO. This process typically continued beyond the original grant date. Generally, the investigation identified evidence of an approval of the list by the CEO or the CFO and the determination of the exercise price by the CFO. In many instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. Based on all available evidence, the Company typically determined that the appropriate measurement date for these grants was the later of the following two dates: (a) the date on which evidence indicated that the Company’s former CEOs or CFOs approved a particular list (evidencing finality of that list) or (b) the date on which the price of the options was determined by the CFO with finality. Where information was not available to evidence either (a) or (b) above, the Company determined the appropriate measurement date to be the date on which, based upon all available evidence, the granting process was completed with finality. In most of those instances, the Company determined the measurement date to be when the grant was entered into the Company’s stock option software. Where changes were noted subsequent to the date a list appeared to be substantially complete, the Company determined, based on best available evidence, whether the changes constituted an extension of the option-granting process for the entire list or for the specific changes noted. Option Exchange Program — On August 29, 2001, 1.95 million outstanding stock options were cancelled by the Company pursuant to a previously announced exchange program. On March 4, 2002, 1.82 million options (included in the 5.2 million of Annual Broad Based awards) were issued in replacement of these cancelled options. The difference between the number of cancelled options and the number of replacement options was due to employee departures between August 29, 2001 and March 4, 2002. The review indicated that the measurement date with respect to the March 4, 2002 options was the same as the original grant date. As a result, no compensation charge related to 110 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) substantially all of the replacement options was required. The Company did determine that options for three individuals were cancelled after August 29, 2001 which resulted in variable plan accounting for the respective replacement awards granted on March 4, 2002, as the lapsed period between the cancellation and replacement awards was not sufficient to permit the replacement options to be considered new grants. than for non-performance or Under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation Number 44 (“FIN 44”), Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, the cancellation requires that any of options, other unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with the cancelled options be recognized in the period in which the cancellation occurs. Based on changes to measurement dates for grants prior to the August 29, 2001 cancellation that remained unvested, the Company was required to record the unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $2.1 million associated with the cancelled stock options on August 29, 2001. termination of employment, CEO and CFO Grants — Approximately 1.4 million of the 8.8 million options issued during this period were granted to the then CEOs and CFOs. While approving grant awards to other employees, the CEO and CFO granted options to themselves. Given the role the CEO and CFO played in the options granting process, the Company has determined that the appropriate measurement date for options issued to the former CEOs and CFOs was the date on which the Board or Compensation Committee took action to ratify their grants, except for the 1997 Management Plan Grants noted below. Also, as noted above, in many instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional compensation charge of approximately $2.9 million. 1997 Management Plan Grants — In March and April 1997, the Company issued approximately 0.8 million options to certain members of management, excluding options granted to the CEO and CFO. The terms of the 1997 Option Plan included that the grantees accept the options and pay $3 for each option. Based on the acceptance provision, the Company has determined the appropriate measurement dates to be the date on which the grantee accepted the offer to purchase the options. In the few situations where the Company did not have evidence of acceptance by or payment from the grantee, the Company utilized best available evidence for the determination of a measurement date. Based on the Compensation Committee’s consideration of this plan and anticipated grants to the CEO and the CFO prior to the acceptance of the acceptance criteria should also be used in determining the measurement dates for the CEO and CFO. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional compensation charge of approximately $0.2 million. the Company determined that their awards, Employee Recognition Awards — Approximately 0.2 million of the 8.8 million options issued during this period were granted as part of the Company’s “President’s Awards” program. For these grants, managers were given an annual allotment based on CEO and CFO discussions with the Board. The allocation process typically continued beyond the original grant date. Also, as noted above, in many instances, the CFO used hindsight and often looked for the lowest stock price in the quarter in selecting the original grant date. The change in measurement dates for these grants resulted in an additional charge of approximately $0.2 million. The Company has determined that the appropriate measurement date for these awards was the later of the following two dates: (a) the date on which evidence indicated that the Company’s former CEOs or CFOs approved a particular list (evidencing finality of that list) or (b) the date on which the 111 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) price of the options was determined by the CFO with finality. Where definitive information was not available to evidence either (a) or (b), the Company determined the appropriate measurement date to be the date on which, based upon all available evidence, the granting process was completed with finality. In most of those instances, the Company determined the measurement date to be when the grant was entered into its stock option software. Where changes were noted subsequent to the date a list appeared to be substantially complete, the Company determined, based on best available evidence, whether the changes constituted an extension of the option-granting process for the entire list or for the specific changes noted. Non-Employee director grants — Non-Employee Directors generally received automatic option grants pursuant to the 1996, 2000 and 2002 Directors Option Plans based on their initial election to the board, on the anniversary thereof, and other designated dates thereafter, as specified in the plans. Management has determined that the measurement dates related to the Non-Employee Directors followed the provisions of the plans and their exercise price was the date the Director was initially elected to the board and the anniversary dates thereafter. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards. For certain of the plans above, compensation expense was also recognized as a result of modifications that resulted in new measurement dates that were made to certain employee option grant awards in connection with termination agreements from fiscal 1995 through April 30, 2001, including acceleration of vesting for unvested options and extensions of exercise periods for vested options. Compensation expense for these modifications was recorded during the relevant periods. In almost all cases, no substantial services were rendered by the terminated employees. As a result, substantially all of the incremental compensation expense from these modifications was recognized in the period of the termination. The total compensation charge for these modifications from fiscal 1995 through April 30, 2001 was approximately $2.2 million. The Company utilized all available evidence from the review to determine the revised measurement dates noted above. This process required a significant amount of judgment. In light of the significant judgment used, alternate approaches to those used by the Company could have resulted in different stock compensation charges than those recorded in the restatement. While the Company believes it has made appropriate judgments in determining the financial and tax impacts of its historic stock option practices, the historical records and evidence available is incomplete and subject to interpretation. Consequently, additional or new information could bear on management’s judgment and related accounting adjustments. The cumulative incremental stock compensation expense recognized by the Company for these errors (net of tax) is approximately $12.8 million for the effect on retained earnings on October 1, 2003. The pretax incremental stock compensation expense recognized by the company for these errors (as described above) in 2005 and 2004 is $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively and related after tax impact for these years was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The balance sheet impact of the errors, which resulted in an increase to deferred tax assets, was $0.3 million at September 30, 2005. The expense allocated to fiscal years 2003 through 2005 include the amortization of compensation expense and charges under the variable accounting method associated with options 112 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) granted in fiscal year 2002 and prior years.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 3. Acquisitions Fiscal 2006 Acquisitions eps On May 31, 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of eps. The aggregate purchase price for eps was $30.4 million, which was comprised of cash payments of $19.1 million, 330,827 shares of common stock valued at $11.1 million, and direct costs of the acquisition. eps, with operations in Germany, Romania, the United Kingdom and other European locations, offers electronic payment and complementary solutions focused largely in the German market. The acquisition of eps will provide the Company additional opportunities to sell its value added solutions, such as Proactive Risk Manager and Smart Chip Manager, into the German marketplace, as well as to sell eps’ testing and dispute management solutions into markets beyond Germany. In addition, eps’ presence in Romania will help the Company more rapidly develop its global offshore development and support capabilities. The acquisition of eps occurred in two closings. The initial closing occurred on May 31, 2006, and the second closing occurred on October 31, 2006. Cash consideration paid at the initial closing totaled $13.0 million, net of $3.1 million of cash acquired and the remaining cash consideration of $6.1 million was paid on October 31, 2006. All shares of the Company’s common stock issued as consideration for the eps acquisition were issued at the initial closing. The Company accounted for the acquisition of eps in its entirety as of May 31, 2006, and has recorded a liability, included in accrued and other liabilities at September 30, 2006, in the amount of $6.1 million for the remaining cash consideration that was paid on October 31, 2006. The Company has accounted for this as a delayed delivery of consideration as the price was fixed and not subject to change, with complete decision-making and control of eps held by the Company as of the date of the initial closing. that these resale restrictions expire with respect As noted, the consideration paid for eps included 330,827 shares of the Company’s common stock, all of which were issued from the Company’s treasury stock. Under the terms of the eps acquisition, the shares issued have restrictions that prohibit their resale for five years, provided, however, the shares each year commencing with the first anniversary of the initial closing. Due to the resale restrictions, with the assistance of an independent appraiser, the Company determined that a discount to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock in the amount of 19% was appropriate for determining the fair market value of the shares issued. The Company valued the shares issued using an average of the market price of the Company’s common stock two days prior and subsequent to the parties agreeing to the terms of the acquisition and its announcement net of the 19% discount for the non- marketability of the shares. The fair market value of each share issued related to the eps acquisition was determined to be $33.42 per share. to 20% of Under the terms of the acquisition, the parties established a cash escrow arrangement in which approximately $1.0 million of the cash consideration paid at the initial closing will be held in escrow as security for a potential contingent obligation. The Company distributed the escrow in October 2006 in accordance with the terms of the escrow arrangement as the contingent liability paid by the Company was recovered from a third party. Additionally, certain of the sellers of eps have committed to certain indemnification obligations as part of the sale of eps. Those obligations are secured by the shares of common stock issued to the sellers pursuant to the eps acquisition to the degree such shares are restricted at the time such an indemnification obligation is triggered, if at all, the likelihood of which is deemed remote. 120 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC.

Goodwill is assessed for impairment at each fiscal year-end at the reporting unit level. During this assessment, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. The initial step requires the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of such reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is to be recognized. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of this unit may be impaired. The amount of impairment, if any, is then measured based upon the estimated fair value of goodwill at the valuation date. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company performed an impairment test for each reporting unit. No impairment losses were recognized for the years reported. 7.

Debt Financing Agreements Prior to fiscal 2003, the Company sold the rights to future payment streams under software license arrangements with extended payment terms to financial institutions and received cash. The amount of the proceeds received from the financing agreements was typically determined by applying a discount rate to the gross future payments to be received from the customer. The outstanding balance at September 30, 2005 of $2.3 million was paid in full in fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to these financing agreements. Long-term Credit Facility In connection with funding the purchase of P&H, on September 29, 2006 the Company entered into a five year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, providing for revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million. The facility has a maturity date of September 29, 2011, at which time any principal amounts outstanding are due. Obligations under the facility are unsecured and uncollateralized, but are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Company may select either a base rate loan or a LIBOR based loan. Base rate loans are computed at the national prime interest rate plus a margin ranging from 0% to 0.125%. LIBOR based loans are computed at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.625% to 1.375%. The margins are dependent upon the Company’s total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. The initial borrowing rate on September 29, 2006 was set using the base rate option, effecting a rate of 8.25%. Interest is due and payable quarterly. On October 5, 2006, the Company exercised its right to convert the rate on its initial borrowing to the LIBOR based option, thereby reducing the effective interest rate to 6.12%. There is also an unused commitment fee to be paid annually of 0.15% to 0.3% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The initial principal borrowings of $75 million were outstanding at September 30, 2006. There is $75 million remaining under the credit facility as of September 30, 2006 and is available for future borrowings. In connection with the borrowing, the Company incurred debt issue costs of $1.7 million. The credit facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial measurements. The facility also provides for certain events of default. The facility does not contain any subjective acceleration features and does not have any required payment or principal reduction schedule and is included as non-current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The company has obtained waivers for events of noncompliance with restrictive debt covenants. At September 30, 2006 the fair value of the Company’s long-term credit facility approximates its carrying value. 9.

Revenues attributable to customers in the United Kingdom accounted for approximately 10.2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in fiscal 2005. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004. During fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 revenues in the United States accounted for approximately $118.8 million, $123.5 million, and $120.5 million, respectively, of consolidated revenue. Long-lived assets attributable to operations in the United States were approximately $218.4 million and $56.5 million, as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 14. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees. Participating employees are permitted to designate up to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of their annual base compensation for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Purchases under the ESPP are made one calendar month after the end of each fiscal quarter. The price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last business day of the three-month participation period. Shares issued under the ESPP during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled 43,761, 61,009 and 66,254, respectively. Additionally, the discount offered pursuant to the Company’s ESPP discussed above is 15%, which exceeds the 5% non-compensatory guideline in SFAS No. 123(R) and exceeds the Company’s estimated cost of raising capital. Consequently, the entire 15% discount to employees is deemed to be compensatory for purposes of calculating expense using a fair value method. Compensation cost related to the ESPP in fiscal 2006 was approximately $0.2 million. Stock Incentive Plans — Active Plans The Company has a 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “2005 Incentive Plan”) under which shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees or non-employee directors of the Company. The 2005 Incentive Plan provides for the grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock of 134 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) awards, performance awards and other awards. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued or transferred in connection with awards granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan will be the sum of (i) 3,000,000 shares and (ii) any shares represented by outstanding options that had been granted under designated terminated stock option plans that are subsequently forfeited, expire or are canceled without delivery of the Company’s common stock. Stock options granted pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan are granted at an exercise price not less than the market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the date of the grant. Under the 2005 Incentive Plan, the term of the outstanding options may not exceed ten years. Vesting of options is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the administrator of the 2005 Incentive Plan, and can vary based upon the individual award agreements. Performance awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan become payable upon the achievement of specified management objectives. Each performance award specifies: (i) the number of performance shares or units granted, (ii) the period of time established to achieve the management objectives, which may not be less than one year from the grant date, (iii) the management objectives and a minimum acceptable level of achievement as well as a formula for determining the number of performance shares or units earned if performance is at or above the minimum level but short of full achievement of the management objectives, and (iv) any other terms deemed appropriate. Upon adoption of the 2005 Incentive Plan in March 2005, the Board terminated the following stock option plans of the Company: (i) the 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended, (ii) the MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan, (iii) the 2000 Non- Employee Director Stock Option Plan, (iv) the 1997 Management Stock Option Plan, (v) the 1996 Stock Option Plan; and (vi) the 1994 Stock Option Plan, as amended. Termination of these stock option plans did not affect any options outstanding under these plans immediately prior to termination thereof. The 1999 Stock Option Plan remains in effect. The Company has a 1999 Stock Option Plan whereby 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options. Additionally, there were certain awards that were accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under that method, charges are taken each reporting period to reflect increases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The options generally vest annually over a period of three years. Stock Incentive Plans — Terminated Plans with Options Outstanding The Company had a 2002 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible non-employee directors of the Company. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. Options granted on or after March 9, 2004 vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, whereas options granted prior to March 9, 2004 vest annually over a period of three years. On August 1, 2001, the Company announced a voluntary stock option exchange program (the the “Exchange Program”) offering to exchange all outstanding options to purchase shares of 135 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Company’s common stock granted under the 1994 Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan held by eligible employees or eligible directors for new options under the same option plans by August 29, 2001. The Exchange Program required any person tendering an option grant for exchange to also tender all subsequent option grants with a lower exercise price received by that person during the six months immediately prior to the date the options accepted for exchange are cancelled. Options to acquire a total of 3,089,100 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $45.00 were eligible to be exchanged under the Exchange Program. The offer expired on August 28, 2001, and the Company cancelled 1,946,550 shares tendered by 578 employees. As a result of the Exchange Program, the Company granted replacement stock options to acquire 1,823,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.04. The difference between the number of shares cancelled and the number of shares granted relates to options cancelled by employees who terminated their employment with the Company between the cancellation date and regrant date. With the exception of three employee grants, the exercise price of the replacement options was the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date of the new options, which was March 4, 2002 (a date at least six months and one day after the date of cancellation). Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options. For three employees, the cancellation of their awards were within the six months and one day waiting period and were, therefore, treated as variable awards when they were reissued on March 4, 2002. Under the variable method, charges are taken each reporting period to reflect increases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. The new shares have a service period schedule of 18 months beginning on the grant date of the new options, except for options tendered by executive officers under the 1994 Stock Option Plan, which vest 25% annually on each anniversary of the grant date of the new options. The Exchange Program was designed to comply with FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, for fixed plan accounting. The Company had an MDL Amended and Restated Employee Share Option Plan (the “MDL Plan”) that was terminated in March 2005 whereby options outstanding under the MDL Plan were converted at the time of the MDL acquisition to options to purchase 167,980 shares of the Company’s common stock. These options have an exercise price of one cent per share of common stock and were included in the determination of purchase price for the MDL acquisition. The Options were issued as fully vested options and have a term of 8 years from the original date of grant by MDL. The Company had a 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible non-employee directors of the Company. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The options vest annually over a period of three years. The Company had a 1997 Management Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby 1,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options, net of a $3 per option payment from the participant. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The options vest annually over a period of four years. 136 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Company had a 1996 Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible 1,008,000 shares of employees of the Board of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee members of Directors. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options. Additionally, there were certain awards that were accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under that method, charges are taken each reporting period to reflect increases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The options generally vest annually over a period of four years. The Company had a 1994 Stock Option Plan that was terminated in March 2005 whereby the Company’s common stock had been reserved for issuance to eligible 1,910,976 shares of employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the service periods of the options. The term of the outstanding options is ten years. The stock options vest ratably over a period of four years. Accounting for Share-Based Payments Pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R) The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R as of October 1, 2005 using the modified prospective transition method. This revised accounting standard eliminated the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS for No. 123(R) requires entities to record noncash compensation expense related to payment employee services by an equity award in their financial statements over the requisite service period. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107, which does not modify any of SFAS No. 123(R)’s conclusions or includes recognition, measurement and disclosure guidance for companies as they implement SFAS No. 123(R). requirements, but rather All of the Company’s existing share-based compensation awards have been determined to be equity classified awards. Under the modified prospective transition method, the Company is required to recognize noncash compensation costs for the portion of share-based awards that are outstanding as of October 1, 2005 for which the requisite service has not been rendered (i.e., nonvested awards). These compensation costs are based on the grant date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. The Company is recognizing compensation costs related to the nonvested portion of those awards in the financial statements from the SFAS No. 123(R) adoption date through the end of the requisite service period. 137 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $23.33 and $18.28, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2006, the Company issued new shares of common stock for the exercise of stock options. Beginning in the third quarter and through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company issued treasury shares for the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended September 30, 2006 was $12.0 million. The fair value of options granted in the respective fiscal years was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a pricing model acceptable under SFAS No. 123(R), with the following weighted-average assumptions: Expected life . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Year Ended September 30, 2004 2005 2006 3.4 4.3 5.0 2.9% 4.0% 4.8% 93% 46% 51% — — — Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s common stock as well as the Company’s historical common stock volatility derived from historical stock price data for historical periods commensurate with the options’ expected life. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, assuming differing exercise behaviors for stratified employee groupings. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining 138 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) term equal to the expected term at the date of grant of the options. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has historically paid no dividends and does not anticipate dividends to be paid in the future. During fiscal 2005, the Company granted 400,000 stock options with a grant date fair value of $9.12 per share and 40,000 stock options with agr ant date fair value of $11.36 per share that vest, if at all, at any time following the second anniversary of the date of grant, upon attainment by the Company of a market price of at least $50 per share for sixty consecutive trading days. In order to determine the grant date fair value of the stock options granted during fiscal 2005 that vest based on the achievement of certain market conditions, a Monte Carlo simulation model was used to estimate (i) the probability that the performance goal will be achieved and (ii) the length of time required to attain the target market price. The Monte Carlo simulation model analyzed the Company’s historical price movements, changes in the value of The NASDAQ Stock Market over time, and the correlation coefficient and beta between the Company’s stock price and The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Monte Carlo simulation indicated that on a risk-weighted basis these stock options would vest 3.6 years after the date of grant. The expected vesting period was then incorporated into a statistical regression the historical exercise behavior of other Company senior executives to arrive at an analysis of expected option life. With respect to options granted that vest based on the achievement of certain market conditions, the grant date fair value of such options was estimated using a pricing model acceptable under SFAS No. 123 with the following weighted-average assumptions: Expected life . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

During fiscal 2006 and 2005, pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Incentive Plan, the Company granted long-term incentive program performance share awards (“LTIP Performance Shares”). A summary of nonvested LTIP Performance Shares as of September 30, 2006 and changes during the years since adoption of this plan are as follows: Nonvested LTIP Performance Shares Nonvested at October 1, 2004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) These LTIP Performance Shares are earned, if at all, based upon the achievement, over a three-year period (the “Performance Period”), of performance goals related to (i) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the Company’s 60-month backlog as determined and defined by the Company, (ii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the diluted earnings per share as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the total revenues as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In no event will any of the LTIP Performance Shares become earned if the Company’s earnings per share is below a predetermined minimum threshold level at the conclusion of the Performance Period. Assuming achievement of the predetermined minimum earnings per share threshold level, up to 150% of the LTIP Performance Shares may be earned upon achievement of performance goals equal to or exceeding the maximum target levels for compound annual growth over the Performance Period in the Company’s 60-month backlog, diluted the earnings per share and total revenues. Management must evaluate, on a quarterly basis, probability that the target performance goals will be achieved, if at all, and the anticipated level of attainment in order to determine the amount of compensation costs to record in the consolidated financial statements. During fiscal 2006, the Company made an acquisition which increased the probability of the 150% target achievement being reached. Consequently, this increased the number of outstanding LTIP Performance Shares by 73,050 that could potentially be earned by grantees. Prior to the acquisition, the number of LTIP Performance Shares outstanding was granted at the 100% probability target achievement level. The increase in the number of LTIP Performance Shares granted in the fourth quarter results in increased compensation cost which is recognized as a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost in fiscal 2006. The additional compensation expense is recognized net of estimated forfeitures. As of September 30, 2006, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $11.4 million related to nonvested stock options and $3.0 million related to nonvested LTIP Performance Shares which the Company expects to recognize over weighted-average periods of 2.7 years and 2.0 years, respectively. recorded expenses stock-based compensation The Company under SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal 2006 related to stock options, LTIP Performance Shares, and the ESPP of $6.3 million, with corresponding tax benefits of $2.2 million. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options were classified as operating cash flows. These excess tax benefits are now classified as financing cash flows. No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized during fiscal 2006. Estimated forfeiture rates, stratified by employee classification, have been included as part of the Company’s calculations of compensation costs. The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock option awards which vest with the passage of time with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. recognized Accounting for Stock-Based Payments Prior to Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and followed the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. Under APB Opinion No. 25, non-cash, stock based compensation expense was recognized for any option for which the exercise price was below the 140 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) market price on the applicable measurement date. This expense was amortized over the vesting periods of the options. Additionally, there were certain awards that were accounted for under the variable accounting method. Under that method, charges are taken each reporting period to reflect increases in the fair value of the stock over the option exercise price until the stock option is exercised or otherwise cancelled. Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company disclosed stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123 using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the option. In addition to the stock- based compensation expense recorded by the Company as part of the restatement (see Note 2), the Company had previously recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined using the fair value method at the grant date of the stock options awarded under those plans, consistent with the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2005 and 2004 would have approximated the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts): 2005 Restated 2004 Restated Net income: As reported . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $43,099 $46,306 Deduct: stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(20,958) (20,958) (32,020) $ 12,294 — — (40,734) $ 22,204 As of September 30, 2006 the Company had net deferred tax assets of $21.7 million (net of a $37.2 million valuation allowance). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income, carryback opportunities and tax planning taxable income and strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the valuation allowances recorded. 143 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During 2006, the Company released $12.6 million in valuation reserves related to the carryover of U.S. general limitation foreign tax credits. The decision to release the reserves was based on the Company’s history of utilizing foreign tax credits in its prior years’ federal income tax returns and in particular, its ability to utilize substantial amounts in its 2005 federal income tax return that was filed during 2006. In addition, the Company prepares ongoing estimates of future taxable income and associated foreign source income, as well as estimates of the ability to utilize foreign tax credits in excess of any credits that will be generated in the future. The Company anticipates that all of the U.S. general limitation foreign tax credits previously reserved will be utilized before the expiration of the the U.S. passive limitation foreign tax credit carryforward period. The valuation reserve against carryovers was not released as the likelihood of utilizing those credits does not meet the more likely than not standard. During fiscal 2004, its MessagingDirect Ltd. the Company completed a reorganization of subsidiary and its related entities (collectively referred to as “the MDL entities”), and elected to treat certain foreign operations as branches of the U.S. parent company, which resulted in the recognition of a $12.0 million tax benefit, of which the federal benefit was $11.3 million and the state benefit was $0.7 million. This tax benefit arises from the excess of tax basis over the book carrying value of these foreign assets following the reorganization. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset in the same amount. The Company had U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards at September 30, 2006 of $11.2 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2013. The Company also had domestic general business credit carryforwards at September 30, 2006 of $4.3 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2016. Approximately $1.0 million of these credits are alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits which have an indefinite carryforward life. The Company had domestic net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for tax purposes of $26.4 million at September 30, 2006. Of the $26.4 million, $23.6 million are related to the pre-acquisition periods of acquired subsidiaries, which begin to expire in fiscal 2007, and $2.8 million related to pre- reorganization losses of U.S. corporations that were not previously a part of the Company’s U.S. consolidated income tax return, which begin to expire in 2021. Of the $23.6 million of pre-acquisition losses, $22.8 million are related to P&H Solutions, Inc., for which a $0.3 million valuation allowance has been established. P&H Solutions, Inc. was acquired during fiscal 2006. The utilization of these NOLs may be limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations under Section 1502. At September 30, 2006, the Company had foreign tax NOLs of $62.0 million, a majority of which may be utilized over an indefinite life, with the remainder expiring over the next 15 years, beginning next year. Approximately $1.9 million of these losses are related to eps, for which a $0.7 million valuation allowance has been established. eps was acquired during fiscal 2006. A valuation allowance has been provided for the deferred tax assets related to the foreign loss carryforwards to the extent management believes these carryforwards are more likely than not to expire unused due to the Company’s historical or projected losses in certain of its foreign subsidiaries. At September 30, 2005, the Company had domestic capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes of $17.0 million, for which a full valuation allowance has been provided. During fiscal 2006 $4.8 million of these capital loss carryforwards expired. Accordingly, both the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance related to the expired losses were reversed. Remaining domestic capital loss carryforwards loss of $12.2 million begin to expire in fiscal 2007. The Company also had foreign capital 144 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) carryforwards for tax purposes of $12.5 million for which a full valuation allowance has been provided. These losses are available indefinitely to offset future capital gains. The Company has provided tax contingencies of $5.0 million and $6.8 million against recoverable income taxes as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amounts are included in “Income taxes payable” at September 30, 2006 and “Recoverable Income Taxes” at September 30, 2005, in the consolidated balance sheets. Two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the subject of tax examinations by the local taxing authorities. Other foreign subsidiaries could face challenges from various foreign tax authorities. It is not certain that the local authorities will accept the Company’s tax positions. The Company believes its tax positions comply with applicable tax law and intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, differing positions on certain issues could be upheld by foreign tax authorities, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries of approximately $43.4 million are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes has been provided for such undistributed earnings. It is impractical to determine the additional income tax liability, if any, associated with the repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings. During 2006, the Company reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to settle open audit issued related to years 1997 through 2003, resulting in a refund to the Company. The amount of the refund was $8.9 million. The refund and corresponding interest were dependent on the Company’s claims being approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation (the “Joint Committee”). In November 2005, the Joint Committee approved the conclusions reached by the IRS with respect to the audit of the Company’s 1997 through 2003 tax years. During 2006, the Company received and recorded the effects of the refund in its consolidated financial statements, including interest of $1.9 million and entries to relieve related tax contingency reserves and other accruals relating to the audit in the amount of $3.9 million. the Company was notified that In fiscal 2006, the Company completed a transaction to divest its entire interest in the e-Courier and Workpoint products as well as the assets and personnel supporting those products. For tax purposes, the transaction was structured as a sale of the e-Courier and Workpoint related assets held by ACI and the MDL entities. This transaction accelerated the reversal of any remaining deferred tax asset related to the previously mentioned reorganization of the MDL entities. 17. Assets of Businesses Transferred Under Contractual Arrangements On September 29, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement whereby certain assets and liabilities related to the Company’s Messaging Direct business and WorkPoint product line were legally conveyed to an unrelated party for a total selling price of $3.0 million. Net assets with a book value of $0.1 million were legally transferred under the agreement. At September 30, 2006, the Company has $1.3 million of assets related to this transfer recorded in other current assets, and $1.2 million of liabilities recorded in other current liabilities. An initial payment of $0.5 million was due at signing. The remaining $2.5 million is to be paid in installments through 2010. In accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has certain obligations to fulfill on behalf of the buyer. Among other things, the Company is obligated to provide continuing support for certain customers of the aforementioned product lines by 145 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) furnishing a certain level of staffing to provide the support as well as administrative services for a period after the transaction. The Company will be reimbursed for such services at a rate equal to cost plus five percent. Additionally, the Company will remain a reseller of these products for royalty fee of 50% of revenues generated from sales. Subsequent to the close of the transaction, the Company has signed a termination agreement for the Edmonton, Canada office lease and all further obligations effective March 31, 2007. The buyer is required to obtain facilities at another location and vacate the current premises on or before the termination date. Based on the continuing relationship and involvement subsequent to the closing date, uncertainty regarding collectability of the note receivable, as well as the level of financing provided by the Company, the above transaction has not been accounted for as a divestiture for accounting purposes. The accounting treatment for this type of transaction is outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5E. Under this accounting treatment, the assets and liabilities to be divested are classified in other current assets and accrued other liabilities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Under that guidance, the Company expects to recognize a gain of $2.9 million in future periods as payments are received. These future payments will be recognized as gains in the period in which they are recovered, once the net assets have been written down to zero. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, the Company collected $0.5 million of cash pursuant to the contractual arrangements and recognized a pretax gain of $0.4 million. 18. Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. From time to time, TSA may guarantee the performance of a contract on behalf of one or more of its subsidiaries, or a subsidiary may guarantee the performance of a contract on behalf of another subsidiary. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Operating Leases The Company leases office space, equipment and the corporate aircraft under operating leases that run through February 2028. The leases that the Company has entered into do not impose restrictions as to the Company’s ability to pay dividends or borrow funds, or otherwise restrict the Company’s ability to conduct business. On a limited basis, certain of the lease arrangements include escalation clauses which provide for rent adjustments due to inflation changes. Lease payments subject the Company’s future minimum lease payments. A number of the leases provide renewal options, but in all cases such renewal options are at the election of the Company. Certain of the lease agreements provide the Company with the option to purchase the leased equipment at its fair market value at the conclusion of the lease term. to inflation adjustments do not represent a significant portion of Total rent expense for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $11.4 million, $11.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Capital Leases The Company leases certain property under capital lease agreements that expire during various years through 2010. The long term portion of capital leases is included in long term liabilities. 146 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) As a result of the P&H acquisition in fiscal 2006 the Company leases equipment under capital leases the net balance of which was $4.4 million at September 30, 2006. Amortization expense related to the capital leases is included in the amount reported as depreciation and amortization.

Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Other than as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, the Company believes would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Class Action Litigation. In November 2002, two class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska (the “Court”) against the Company and certain individuals alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Pursuant to a Court order, the two complaints were consolidated as Desert Orchid Partners v. Transaction Systems Architects, Inc., et al., with Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System designated as lead plaintiff. The Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint previously alleged that during the purported class period, the Company and the named defendants financial condition, results of operations and its future misrepresented the Company’s historical prospects, and failed to disclose facts that could have indicated an impending decline in the Company’s revenues. That Complaint also alleged that, prior to August 2002, the purported truth regarding the Company’s financial condition had not been disclosed to the market. The Company and the individual defendants initially filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. In response, on December 15, 2003, the Court dismissed, without prejudice, Gregory Derkacht, the Company’s former president and chief executive officer, as a defendant, but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining defendants, including the Company. On July 1, 2004, lead plaintiff filed a motion for class certification wherein, for the first time, lead plaintiff sought to add an additional class representative, Roger M. Wally. On August 20, 2004, defendants filed their opposition to the motion. On March 22, 2005, the Court issued an order certifying the class of persons that purchased the Company’s common stock from January 21, 1999 through November 18, 2002. 147 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) On January 27, 2006, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, seeking a dismissal of the lead plaintiff and certain other class members, as well as a limitation on damages based upon plaintiffs’ inability to establish loss causation with respect to a large portion of their claims. On February 6, 2006, additional class representative Roger M. Wally filed a motion to withdraw as a class representative and class member. On April 21, 2006, and based upon the pending motion for judgment, a motion to intervene as a class representative was filed by the Louisiana District Attorneys Retirement System (“LDARS”). LDARS previously attempted to be named as lead plaintiff in the case. On July 5, 2006, the Magistrate denied LDARS’ motion to intervene, which LDARS appealed to the District Judge. That appeal has not yet been decided. On May 17, 2006, the Court denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings as being moot based upon the Court’s granting lead plaintiff leave to file a Third Amended Complaint (“Third Complaint”), which it did on May 31, 2006. The Third Complaint alleges the same misrepresentations as described above, while simultaneously alleging that the purported truth about the Company’s financial condition was being disclosed throughout that time, commencing in April 1999. The Third Complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On June 14, 2006, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Third Complaint pursuant to Rules 8 and 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Lead Plaintiff opposed the motion. Prior to any ruling on the motion to dismiss, on November 7, 2006, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement for purposes of settling all of the claims in the Class Action Litigation, with no admissions of wrongdoing by the Company or any individual defendant. The settlement provides for an aggregate cash payment of $24.5 million of which, net of insurance, the Company contributed approximately $8.5 million. The settlement was approved by the Court on March 2, 2007 and the Court ordered the case dismissed with prejudice against us and the individual defendants. On March 27, 2007, James J. Hayes, a class member, filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit appealing this order. The Company intends to respond to this appeal in accordance with the Court of Appeals’ orders and procedures. 19. Related Party Transactions Digital Courier Technologies, Inc. Coinciding with the Company’s purchase of Digital Courier Technologies, Inc. (“DCTI’’) common stock in June 1999, DCTI agreed to allow one of the Company’s designees to become a member of the DCTI Board of Directors, which was filled by an executive officer of the Company. This executive officer resigned as a member of the DCTI Board of Directors in 2001. No executive officer or director of the Company has served on the DCTI Board of Directors since his resignation. On March 25, 1999, the Company and DCTI entered into a BASE24 software license arrangement. On March 31, 2000, the Company and DCTI entered into an additional software license arrangement which granted DCTI a non-transferable and non-exclusive software license to use the Company’s BASE24 software in international markets. These arrangements came to their conclusions during fiscal 2004. Revenues recognized from DCTI under these arrangements totaled $1.4 million in fiscal 2004. 148 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 20. Subsequent Events In March 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $100 million to its current repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $210 million. This increase in the repurchase program will be implemented as soon as the Company is able to amend its repurchase instructions in accordance with applicable laws, after the Company becomes compliant with its regulatory filings. Under the program to date, the Company has purchased approximately 2.8 million shares for approximately $77.0 million. Purchases will be made from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, in open market, negotiated or block transactions, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations. On February 7, 2007 the Company acquired Visual Web Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of international trade finance and web-based cash management solutions, primarily to financial institutions in the Asia/Pacific region. These solutions will complement and be integrated with TSA’s U.S.-centric cash management and online banking solutions to create a more complete international offering. Visual Web has wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore for sales and customer support and in Bangalore, India for product development and services. Visual Web was purchased for $9.3 million in cash. On April 2, 2007, the Company acquired Stratasoft Sdn Bhd (“Stratasoft”), a leading provider of electronic payment solutions in Malaysia. This acquisition will compliment ACI’s strategy to move to a direct model in selected markets in Asia. Malaysia is a progressive payments market that consistently shows evidence of cutting edge payments deployment and thinking. This acquisition will also provide a platform to develop ACI’s regional low cost services center strategy. Stratasoft was purchased for $2.9 million in cash.

LLC From the President The world is embracing electronic payments, as evidenced by continued steady growth in transaction volumes. For TSA, 2006 represented a trans- formational year in preparing us to leverage the opportunities ahead. We drove top line revenue growth of 11 percent at the same time we invested in the business for growth and globalization and worked to integrate our strategic acquisitions. We ended the year with more than $110 million in cash and cash equivalents and had an unused borrowing capacity of $75 million in a senior revolving credit facility. With strong cash ﬂ ows and a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned for strategic opportunities. At the start of 2006, we consolidated what had been three independent operating units to help drive efﬁ ciencies and better leverage the power of the ACI Worldwide brand. This integration began to pay dividends during the year, as we built on our reputation in retail payments to license our ﬁ rst ACI Wholesale Payments System in Europe in several years. A primary element of our vision revolves around payment systems conver- gence, or the reuse of common payment functions, to help our customers improve productivity. During 2006, consultants at GartnerGroup and Financial Insights noted TSA’s unique ability to help clients improve their efﬁ ciency through converged payment systems. With our global reach and end-to-end offerings, we act as the honest broker for banks, retailers and processors who require gold-standard solutions that can be leveraged across the enterprise.
