Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31,September 30, 2010
 
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal yea r endingyear end ing June 30, 2010.2011. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc. (the Company) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 11, 2009.10, 2010.
 
Certain prior period amounts related to stock compensation expense have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which is aimed at improving disclosures about fair value measurements.  The amended guidance requires the following new disclosures:

·  the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value hierarchy, and a discussion of the reasons for these transfers
·  a discussion of the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
·  the policy used by the company for determining when transfers between levels are recognized
·  the inclusion of a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements)
The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures related to the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements which will become effective for the Company on July 1, 2011. Other than enhanced disclosures, this guidance will not impact the Company’s financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance on two issues related to revenue recognition.

The first issue,recognition: Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements.
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables applies to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and provides for two significant changes to existing multiple-element revenue recognition guidance. The first change relates to the determination of when individual deliverables within an arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting. Broadly, a deliverable should be treated as a separate unit of accounting when it has value to the customer on a standalone basis and when delivery or performance of any undelivered items is considered to be probable and substantially within the control of the vendor. The second change relates to the manner in which arrangement consideration should be allocated to any separately identified deliverables. The consensus r equiresdeliverables and requires that the allocation ofo f revenue among deliverables be based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third-party evidence of selling price and, to the extent that neither of these levels of evidence exist, that the allocation be based on the vendor’s best estimate of selling price for each deliverable. Use of the residual method of allocating revenue to arrangement deliverables is specifically prohibited unless the revenue transaction is specifically governed by software revenue recognition literature. Financial statement disclosure requirements have also been significantly expanded.  The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on July 1, 2010, which required the Company to apply this guidance to all revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, on or after that date. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and the Company does not believe it will have a material i mpact in the remainder of fiscal 2011.

The second issue, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements, focuses on redefining which revenue arrangements are within the scope of software revenue recognition literature and which are not. The issue provides guidance on determining whether tangible products containing non-software and software elements are governed by software
7

revenue recognition literature and significantly narrows the definition of what constitutes a “software” transaction. In particular, non-software components of products that include software, software products bundled with tangible products where the non-software and software components function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, and undelivered elements related to non-software components are, as a result of this issue,i ssue, outside the scope of software revenue recognition rules. The issue also provides guidance on allocating revenue between non-software and software elements.

Each of these issues is effective for fiscal years The Company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis beginning on or after June 15,July 1, 2010. The issues canadoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2010 and the Company does not believe it will have a material impact in the remainder of fiscal 2011.

Note 3—Revenue Recognition
Software Arrangements
The Company recognizes revenue on its software license arrangements when four basic criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is deemed probable. The Company considers a fully executed, non-cancelable agreement or a customer purchase order to be implemented prospectivelypersuasive evidence of an arrangement. Delivery is deemed to allhave occurred upon transfer of the product title to the customer or the completion of services rendered. The Company considers the arrangement fee to be fixed and determinable if it is not subject to adjustment and if the customer has not been granted extended payment terms. Excluding our long term contract arrangements for which revenue arrangements entered or materially modifiedis recorded on a percentage of completion basis, extended payment terms are deemed to be present when any portion of the software license fee is due in excess of 90 days after the date of adoption,product delivery. In arrangements that contain extended payment terms, software revenue is recorded as customer payments become contractually due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company considers the arrangement fee to be probable of collection if its internal credit analysis indicates that the customer will be able to pay contractual amounts as they become due.
The Company’s software arrangements may contain multiple revenue elements, such as software licenses, professional services, hardware and post-contract customer support. For multiple element software arrangements which qualify for separate element treatment, revenue is recognized for each element when each of the four basic criteria is met; excluding post-contract customer support, this is typically upon delivery or retrospectivelycompletion of professional services. Revenue for post-contract customer support agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, which is generally one year. Revenue is allocated to each element, excluding the software license, based on vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”). VSOE is limited to the price charged when the element is sold separately or, for an element not yet being sold separately, the price established by management having the relevant authority. The Company does not have VSOE for its software licenses since they are seldom sold separately. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to the software license according to the residual value method. Under the residual value method, revenue equal to VSOE of each undelivered element is deferred and recognized upon delivery of that element. Any “residual” arrangement fee is allocated to the software license. This has the effect of allocating any sales discount inherent in the arrangement to the software license fee.
Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements require significant customization and modification and involve extended implementation periods and as such do not qualify for separate element treatment. These arrangements are typically accounted for using percentage of completion contract accounting. In such arrangements, since the Company is able to make reasonably reliable estimates of progress toward completion, revenue is recognized over the life of the project as work is performed. Revenue earned in each reporting period is determined based on the percentage of labor hours incurred on the project as a percentage of total estimated labor hours. Customer payment milestones for both software and professional services fees on these long-term arrangements typically occur on a periodic basis over the period of project completi on.
Non-Software Arrangements
For arrangements governed by general revenue recognition literature, such as with the Company’s hosted or SaaS offerings or equipment and supplies only sales, the Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria are met; these criteria are similar to those governing software transactions: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
For arrangements consisting of multiple elements, revenue is allocated to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price of each element is based on VSOE if available, third party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available or estimated selling price (“ESP”) if neither VSOE or TPE are available. TPE is determined based on selling prices charged by unrelated third party vendors for similar deliverables when sold separately. The residual method of allocation is no longer permitted and, instead, arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method.  The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionately to each deliverable based on the relative proportion of each deliverab le’s selling price to the total arrangement fee.  The Company is typically unable to establish TPE as it is unable to obtain sufficient information on vendor selling prices to substantiate TPE. The objective of ESP is to estimate the price at which the Company would transact if the deliverable were sold separately rather than as part of a multiple element arrangement. The Company’s determination of ESP considers several factors including actual selling prices for similar transactions, gross margin expectations and ongoing pricing strategy. The Company plans to formally analyze its ESP determinations on at least an annual basis.

Whether a deliverable represents a separate unit of accounting, thus resulting in discrete revenue arrangementsrecognition as the revenue recognition criteria for all financial statement periods presented. Early adoptionthat deliverable are met, is permitted. Both issuesdependent on whether the deliverable has value to the customer on a standalone basis. A deliverable is deemed to have standalone value if it is sold separately by the Company or any other vendor or if the deliverable could be resold by the customer. Additionally, in an arrangement that includes a general right of return related to delivered items, delivery or performance of any undelivered items must be adoptedconsidered probable and substantially within the control of the Company.
Up-front fees paid by the customer, even if non-refundable, that do not have stand alone value are deferred and recognized as revenue over the period of performance. The Company periodically charges up-front fees, generally related to installation and integration services, in connection with certain of its hosted or SaaS offerings. These fees are deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated customer relationship period, which is generally five years, and the revenue recognition period associated with these fees normally commences upon customer implementation.
The Company expenses contract origination costs and incremental direct costs as incurred.
Arrangements Including Both Software and Non-Software Deliverables
Periodically, the Company will enter into an arrangement that contains both software and non-software deliverables. In such a transaction, the aggregate arrangement consideration is allocated to the software deliverables and non-software deliverables as a group, using the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy. After this allocation is completed, the arrangement consideration allocated to the software deliverables is further allocated using the residual value method described above.
Regardless of the allocation methodology or the nature of the deliverables, the Company limits the amount of revenue that can be recognized for delivered items to the amount that is not contingent on future deliverables or subject to customer specified return or refund rights.
Customer Returns
The sales value of customer returns are estimated and accrued for based upon return authorizations issued and past history. Actual returns, in the same periodaggregate, have been consistent with management’s expectations and under the same transition method. The Company expects to adopt these issues prospectively as of July 1, 2010 and is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncements on its financial statements.have historically not been significant.
 
Note 3—4—Fair Value
 
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

In September 2006, the FASB issued financial statement disclosure standards, effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, regarding the fair value of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted these standards in fiscal 2008.  These standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. They apply only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and do not require any new fair value measurements.  

For nonfinancial assets and liabilities not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the effective date of these standards was delayed until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 (July 1, 2009 for the Company).  The Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities that met these deferral criteria included goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment.  The adoption of the remaining provisions of these standards on July 1, 2009 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  

The Company measures fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the “inputs”) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

At March 31,September 30, 2010, assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis included money market funds of $0.4 million.  At June 30, 2009, assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis included money market funds and US Treasury securities funds of $2.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  These amounts were reported as a component of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and were valued based on reference to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs).follows:

Note 45Product and Business Acquisitions
PayMode
On September 14, 2009, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets and Asset Acquisitionsrelated operations of PayMode from Bank of America.  PayMode facilitates the electronic exchange of payments and invoices between organizations and their suppliers and is operated as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.  As a result of the acquisition the Company acquired the PayMode operations including the vendor network, application software, intellectual property rights and other assets, properties and rights used exclusively or primarily in the PayMode business. 
To achieve a comprehensive solution for the Company’s customers, the core features and functionality of PayMode and Bottomline Business eXchange, the Company’s electronic invoicing solution, were combined and launched as a re-branded offering:  Paymode-X.  This solution offers an electronic order-to-pay network for businesses, and the Paymode-X supplier network currently encompasses 125,000 companies.

Pro-forma Information
The following unaudited pro-forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and PayMode as if that acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2009, after giving effect to certain adjustments such as decreased revenues formerly earned by PayMode from interest income allocated to PayMode through Bank of America’s fund transfer process since, in general terms, the Company is not eligible to earn revenues in this manner.  The pro-forma adjustments also reflect an increase in amortization expense as a result of acquired intangible assets and a decrease in interest income as a result of the cash paid for the acquisition. This pro-forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Company and PayMode been a single entit y during this period.

Global Commission Payments

On February 24, 2010, the Company acquired certain customer contracts associated with Bank of America’s Global Commission Payments business. The initial consideration paid by the Company was $1.0 million in cash; this cost has been classified as a component of the Company’s customer related intangible assets and is being amortized over an estimated life of seven years.  For acquired contracts that the Company successfully migrates to its PayModePaymode-X solution, additional consideration is due to Bank of America based on a trailing revenue multiple of the underlying customer. The Company anticipates that additional consideration of up to $5 million may be contingently payable to Bank of America, based on the outcome of customer migration to the Company’s PayMode solution.Paymode-X.  The migration exercise is currentl ycurrently targeted for completion in latethe first half of calendar year 2010;2011; any additional consideration will be recorded by the Company as an increase to the cost of the acquired contracts in the period in which payment to Bank of America becomes probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable.
 
PayMode

On September 14, 2009, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets and related operations of PayMode from Bank of America (the “Bank”).  PayMode facilitates the electronic exchange of payments and invoices between organizations and their suppliers and is operated as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.  At the acquisition date there were in excess of 90,000 vendors participating in the PayMode network.

As a result of the acquisition the Company acquired the PayMode operations including the vendor network, application software, intellectual property rights and other assets, properties and rights used exclusively or primarily in the PayMode business. As purchase consideration, the Company paid the Bank cash of $17.0 million and issued the Bank a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.50 per share.  The warrants were exercisable upon issuance and were valued at $10.5 million using a Black Scholes valuation model that used the following inputs:

Dividend yield
0%
Expected term
10 years
Risk free interest rate
3.42%
Volatility
78%
The expected term of ten years equates to the contractual life of the warrants.  Volatility was based on the Company’s actual stock price over a ten year historic period.

PayMode’s operating results have been included in the Company’s operating results from the date of the acquisition forward as a component of the Outsourced Solutions segment and all of the PayMode goodwill was allocated to this segment.

Upon acquisition, PayMode was integrated into existing business lines of the Company in a manner that makes tracking or reporting earnings specifically attributable to PayMode impracticable.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, revenues attributable to PayMode represented less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

The Company has finalized its estimates of fair value for property, equipment and intangible assets acquired.  In the allocation of the purchase price set forth below, the Company has recognized approximately $2.7 million of goodwill.  This amount is deductible for US income tax purposes and is arising principally due to the assembled workforce of PayMode and due to expected product synergies arising from the acquisition.  Acquisition costs of approximately $0.5 million were expensed during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, principally as a component of general and administrative expenses.

The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

Property and equipment  4,901 
Intangible assets  18,659 
Goodwill  2,653

Total purchase price $27,520 

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets was estimated by performing projections of discounted cash flow, whereby revenues and costs associated with each intangible asset are forecast to derive expected cash flow which is discounted to present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk.  The valuation and projection process is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).  The valuation assumptions also take into consideration the Company’s estimates of contract renewal, technology attrition and revenue growth projections.  The values for specifically identifiable intangible assets, by major asset class, are as set forth below. Other intangible assets consist of a tradename and a below market lease arrangement.

BasicThe calculation of basic net income per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted stock and stock warrants.  BasicDuring the prior fiscal year, certain of the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards were considered to be participating securities as they entitled the holder to receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock.  Accordingly, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, basic earnings per share iswas computed pursuant to the two-class method.  The two-class method which calculates earnings for common stock and participating securities based on their proportionate participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Certain of the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are considered to be participating securities as they entitle the holder to receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock.

Diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method (which assumes full exercise of in-the-money stock options and warrants and full vesting of restricted stock) andor, for periods in which there are participating securities, the two-class method described above.

At March 31,September 30, 2010 and 2009, 75,50045,000 and 4,786,5971,851,000 shares of unvested restricted stock and stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, respectively, as their effect on the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 7—8—Operations by Segments and Geographic Areas
 
Segment Information
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
 
The Company’s operating segments are organized principally by the type of product or service offered and by geography; similar operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments as follows:
 
Payments and Transactional Documents. The Company’s Payments and Transactional Documents segment is a supplier of software products that provide a range of financial business process management solutions including making and collecting payments, sending and receiving invoices, and generating and storing business documents. This segment also provides a range of standard professional services and equipment and supplies that complement and enhance the Company’s core software products. Revenue associated with this segment is typically recorded upon delivery or, if extended payment terms have been granted to the customer, as payments become contractually due. This segment incorporates the Company’s check printing solutions in the UK, revenue for which is typically reco rded on a per transaction basis or ratably over the expected life of the customer relationship, as well as certain solutions that are licensed on a subscription basis, revenue for which is typically recorded ratably over the contractual term.
 
Banking Solutions. The Banking Solutions segment provides solutions that are specifically designed for banking and financial institution customers. These solutions typically involve longer implementation periods and a significant level of professional resources. Due to the customized nature of these products, revenue is generally recognized over the period of project performance, on a percentage of completion basis. Periodically, the Company licenses these solutions on a subscription basis which has the effect of contributing to recurring revenue and the revenue predictability of future periods, but which also delays revenue recognition over a period that is longer than the period of project performance.
 
11

Outsourced Solutions. The Outsourced Solutions segment provides customers with outsourced and hosted solution offerings that facilitate invoice receipt and presentment and spend management. The Company’s Legal eXchange solution, which provides the opportunity to create more efficient processes for managing invoices generated by outside law firms while offering access to important legal spend factors such as budgeting, expense monitoring and outside counsel performance, is included within this segment. This segment also incorporates the Company’s hosted and outsourced accounts payable automation solutions, including PayMode, which the Company acquired in September 2009.Paymode-X. Revenue within this segment is generally recognized on a subscription or transaction basis or proporti onatelyproportionately over the estimated life of the customercusto mer relationship.
 
Each operating segment has separate sales forces and periodically a sales person in one operating segment will sell products and services that are typically sold within a different operating segment. In such cases, the transaction is generally recorded by the operating segment to which the sales person is assigned. Accordingly, segment results can include the results of transactions that have been allocated to a specific segment based on the contributing sales resources, rather than the nature of the product or service. Conversely, a transaction can be recorded by the operating segment primarily responsible for delivery to the customer, even if the sales person is assigned to a different operating segment.
 
The Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses segment performance based on a variety of factors that can include segment revenue and a segment measure of profit or loss. Each segment’s measure of profit or loss is on a pre-tax basis and excludes stock compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of intangible assets, impairment losses on equity investments and restructuring related charges. There are no inter-segment sales; accordingly, the measure of segment revenue and profit or loss reflects only revenues from external customers. The costs of certain corporate level expenses, primarily general and administrative expenses, are allocated to the Company’s operating segments at predetermined rates that approximate cost.
 
The Company does not track or assign its assets by operating segment.

Note 8—9—Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and income tax expense of $0.7$0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 and 2009.2009, respectively.  The income tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was substantially due to the impact of a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million arising from the release of a portion of the Company’s valuation allowance that had previously been recorded against its UK deferred tax assets.  The ability to release a portion of the UK valuation allowance was attributable to continued profitability in the UK operations, which the Company expects will continue, including the attainment of three years of cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The tax benefit was offset in part by tax expens e attributable to the Company’s UK, Australian and US operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimum tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses, state tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes. 

The Company’s income tax expense recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2010September 30, 2009 was due to tax expense associated with the Company’s UK, Australian and US operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimum tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses state income tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.  The income tax expense recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was due to tax expense associated with the Company’s German, Australian and US operations, offset in part by a tax b enefit associated with the Company’s UK operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes and to the use of deferred tax assets arising through prior business acquisitions.   
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due to tax expense associated with the Company’s UK, Australian and US operations.  The US incomepurposes.  Income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimumpartially offset by the benefit associated with a US tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses, state income tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.  The income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was net of approximately $0.4 million of non-recurring tax benefits arising from a reduction in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits upon the expirati on of certain statutes of limitations, from the enactment of legislation during fiscal year 2009 that allowed the Company torefund claim a tax refund for a portion of its unused research and development credit carryforwards in the US, and from a decrease in the Company’s German tax rate as a result of a restructuring of the Company’s German operations.  The Company’s net income tax expense also reflected expense associated with the Company’s German, French, and Australian operations, as well as income tax expense in the US, offset in part by a tax benefit associated with the Company’s UK operations.  carryforwards.

The Company currently anticipates that its unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next twelve months by approximately $0.2$0.3 million as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations associated with intercompany transactions subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions.

Note 11 – 11—Contingencies
 
In April 2010, the Company received notification from an outside software consortium alleging that the Company may have installed unlicensed versions of certain third-party software on its computers.  The notification requested that the Company undertake an internal review to assess the merits of such claims and this review is in process.  While the outcome of this review is still uncertain, the Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial position or operating results.
 
Note 12 – Subsequent Events
In AprilAugust 2010, the Company madereceived notification from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) advising that Tranmit Plc. (Tranmit), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, had an investmentunsettled tax liability of $0.3approximately £0.1 million (approximately $0.2 million based on September 30, 2010 foreign exchange rates) inclusive of interest. This tax relates to transactions occurring before the Company’s acquisition, which occurred in January 2006.  The Company and the former stockholders of Tranmit are currently parties to a privately-held technology company. This investmenttax indemnification arrangement providing for the recovery by the Company, from the selling stockholders, of certain tax liabilities arising for periods prior to Bottomline’s ownership of Tranmit. The Company believes that it would be indemnified and recover from the former Tranmit stockholders substantially all of the amounts that might be payable to HMRC for this matter. While the ultimate resolution of this claim is being accounted for at cost asuncertain, the Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial statements or cash flows.
Note 12—Stock Offering
In June, 2010, the abilityCompany completed an underwritten public offering of 4.2 million shares of its common stock. In July, 2010, the underwriters exercised an over-allotment option to exercise significant influence overpurchase 354,000 additional shares of the investee.

Note 13—Subsequent Event

On October 26, 2010, the Company acquired SMA Financial, Ltd., (“SMA”) for a cash payment of £5.0 million (approximately $7.9 million, based on foreign exchange rates at the time of the acquisition). SMA is a London-based provider of SaaS connectivity to SWIFT for the automation of payments and financial messaging.  As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to offer next-generation treasury and cash management solutions to a range of bank and corporate customers.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us up to, and including, the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. You should carefully review those factors and also carefully review the risks outlined in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
In the management discussion that follows we have highlighted those changes and operating factors that were the primary factors affecting period to period fluctuations.  The remainder of the change in period to period fluctuations from that which is specifically disclosed is arising from various individually insignificant items.
 
Overview
 
We provide electronic payment, invoice and document management solutions to corporations, financial institutions and banks around the world. Our solutions are used to streamline, automate and manage processes and transactions involving global payments, invoice receipt and approval, collections, cash management, risk mitigation, document management, reporting and document archive. We offer software designed to run on-site at the customer’s location as well as hosted or Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Historically, our software has been sold predominantly on a perpetual license basis. Today however, a growing portion of our offerings are being sold as SaaS and paid for on a subscription and transaction basis.
 
Our corporate customers rely on our solutions to automate their payment and accounts payable processes and to streamline and manage the production and retention of electronic documents. We offer Legal eXchange®, a Software as a Service (SaaS)SaaS offering that receives, manages and controls legal invoices and the related spend management for insurance companies and other large corporate consumers of outside legal services. We also offer Paymode-X, a SaaS offering that facilitates the exchange of electronic payments and invoices between organizations and suppliers and which is offered to customers of Bank of America and Bottomline. Our offerings also include software solutions that banks use to provide web-based payment and reporting capabilities to their corporate customers.
 
Our solutions complement and leverage our customers’ existing information systems, accounting applications and banking relationships. As a result, our solutions can be deployed quickly and efficiently. To help our customers receive the maximum value from our products and meet their own particular needs, we also provide professional services for installation, training, consulting and product enhancement.
 
In September 2009 we acquired PayMode from Bank of America.  PayMode facilitates the electronic exchange of payments and invoices between organizations and suppliers and is a SaaS offering.  As part of the acquisition, we also entered into a multi-year agreement with Bank of America to operate PayMode on its behalf.
In February 2010, we acquired certain customer contracts associated with Bank of America’s Global Commission Payments business.  We intend to migrate these customers to our PayMode solution by late calendar year 2010.

For the first ninethree months of fiscal year 2010,2011, our revenue increased to $116.5$42.0 million from $103.1$36.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2009.2010. This revenue increase was primarily attributable to revenue increases of $3.8 million in our Banking Solutions segment, ($5.8 million) and$0.9 million in our Outsourced Solutions segment ($5.0 million).and $0.7 million in our Payments and Transactional Documents segment.  The Banking Solutions segment’s increased revenue related to large new and ongoing banking projects.  The increased contribution of revenue from our PayMode acquisitionPaymode-X solution, which we acquired in September 2009, accounted for substantially all of the revenue increase in the Outsourced Solutions segment.  These increases were offset in part by a decreaseinclude an unfavorable effect of $0.3 million due to declining foreign exchange rates of $0.7 million primarily associated with the British Pound  Sterling, which depreciated against the US Dollar compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
 
We had net income of $2.8$2.7 million in the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 compared to a net lossincome of $8.7$1.2 million in the same period of fiscal yearthree months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net income was due largely to improved gross
16

margins of $8.7$2.4 million and a reductiondiscrete income tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $0.9 million. These effects were partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $4.3$1.6 million.  The decreasesincreased gross margin related primarily to our increased revenue across all segments.  The increases in our operating expense categories were primarily due largely to cost savingsincreased employee related to our fourthcosts, partially associated with a full quarter fiscal 2009 headcount reduction, andof Paymode-X operations, offset by a decrease of $2.0$0.4 million in intangible asset amortization.
 
In the first ninethree months of fiscal 2010,2011, we derived approximately 45%38% of our revenue from customers located outside of North America, principally in the UK and Australia.  We expect future revenue growth to be driven by the revenue contribution from PayMode, increased purchases of our products, including Paymode-X and WebSeries, by new and existing bank and financial institution customers in both North America and international markets and from increased sales of our payments and transactional documents products.
While we continue to grow our business, the overall economic environment has remained challenging. While we have not experienced any significant decline in our expected volume of customer orders we are observing that, in some cases, closing new business is taking somewhat longer and, in some cases, customer buying decisions are being postponed. Our customers operate in many different industries, a diversification that we believe helps us in this economic climate. Additionally, we believe that our recurring and subscription revenue base helps position us defensively against any short term economic downturn. While we believe that we continue to compete favorably in all of the markets we serve, ongoing or worsening economic stresses could impact our business more significantly in the future.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used.
 
The critical accounting policies we identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20092010 related to stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and the valuation of acquired deferred revenue. It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on September 11, 2009.10, 2010. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010.  As discussed below in “Recent Accounting Policies” and in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we adopted the guidance of two issues related to revenue recognition: Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables and Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements.  The adoption of these accounting standards did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and we do not believe they will have a material impact in the remainder of fiscal 2011.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which is aimed at improving disclosures about fair value measurements.  The amended guidance requires the following new disclosures:

·  the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value hierarchy, and a discussion of the reasons for these transfers
·  a discussion of the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
·  the policy used by the Company for determining when transfers between levels are recognized.
·  the inclusion of a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements)

The guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures related the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements which will become effective for us on July 1, 2011. Other than enhanced disclosures, this guidance will not impact our financial statements.Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB issued authoritative guidance on two issues related to revenue recognition.

The first issue,recognition: Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements.
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables applies to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and provides for two significant changes to existing multiple-element revenue recognition guidance. The first change relates to the determination of when individual deliverables within an arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting. Broadly, a deliverable should be treated as a separate unit of accounting when it has value to the customer on a standalone basis and when delivery or performance of any undelivered items is considered to be probable and substantially within the control of the vendor. The second change relates to the manner in which arrangement consideration should be allocated to any separately identified deliverables. The issue requi resdeliverables and requires that the allocation ofo f revenue among deliverables be based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third-party evidence of selling price and, to the extent that neither of these levels of evidence exist, that the allocation be based on the vendor’s best estimate of selling price for each deliverable. Use of the residual method of allocating revenue to arrangement deliverables is specifically prohibited unless the revenue transaction is specifically governed by software revenue recognition literature. Financial statement disclosure requirements have also been significantly expanded.  We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on July 1, 2010, which required us to apply this guidance to all revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after that date.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and we do not believe it will have a material impact in the remainder of fiscal 201 1.

The second issue, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements, focuses on redefining which revenue arrangements are within the scope of software revenue recognition literature and which are not. The issue provides guidance on determining whether tangible products containing non-software and software elements are governed by software revenue recognition literature and significantly narrows the definition of what constitutes a “software” transaction. In particular, non-software components of products that include software, software products bundled with tangible products where the non-software and software components function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, and undelivered elements related to non-softw are
17

non-software components are, as a result of this issue, outside the scope of software revenue recognition rules. The issue also provides guidance on allocating revenue between non softwarenon-software and software elements.

Each of these issues is effective for fiscal years We adopted the guidance on a prospective basis beginning on or after June 15,July 1, 2010. The issues can be implemented prospectively to all revenue arrangements entered or materially modified afteradoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the date of adoption, or retrospectively to all revenue arrangements for all financial statement periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. Both issues must be adoptedinterim period ended September 30, 2010 and we do not believe it will have a material impact in the same period and under the same transition method. We expect to adopt these issues prospectively asremainder of July 1, 2010 and are currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncements on our financial statements.fiscal 2011.

Segment Information
 
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Our operating segments are organized principally by the type of product or service offered and by geography.  Similar operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments: Payments and Transactional Documents, Banking Solutions and Outsourced Solutions.  The following tables represent our segment revenues and our segment measure of profit or loss:profit:

Payments and Transactional Documents. The revenue increase for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.0 million as a result of an increase in foreign exchange rates associated with the British Pound Sterling and European Euro, an increase of $0.6$0.3 million in software license revenuesrevenue, an increase of $0.2 million in subscriptions and transactions revenue and an increase of $0.5 million in service and maintenance revenue from our European payments and document automation products.  These increases include an unfavorable effect of foreign exchange rates of $0.6 million associated with the British Pound Sterling.  The segment profit increase of $2.1$0.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
18

September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to increases in both software license revenues worldwide and services and maintenance revenues in Europe, combined with cost savings realized from our headcount reductions in the fourth quarter of last year.worldwide.   We ex pectexpect revenue and profit for the Payments and Transactional Documents segment to increase during the remainderremaining three quarters of fiscal 20102011 as a result of increased sales of our payment and document automation solutions and improvements in gross margins.

Banking Solutions. Revenues from our Banking Solutions segment increased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to an increase in professional services revenue of $1.5$1.8 million associated with large new and ongoing projects and due to the revenue contribution of $1.1$1.8 million for an arrangement for which revenue recognition commenced in the quarter.prior fiscal year. Segment profit increased $1.1$1.8 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The profit increase was due to higher professional services gross margins of $0.9$1.0 million associated with large ongoing projects and due to the profit contribution of $0.5$1.0 million from a revenue arrangement commencing during the quarter.prior fiscal year.  We expect revenue and profit for the Banking S olutionsSolutions segment to increase during the remainder of the fiscal year as a result of the contribution of revenue from ongoing projects and from additional purchases from existing bank and financial institution customers.

Outsourced Solutions. Revenues from our Outsourced Solutions segment increased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to the revenue contribution from PayMode.Paymode-X.  Segment profit decreased $0.3$0.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to our continued investment in our PayModePaymode-X solution, including costs to service the customers, product development costs and sales and marketing costs.  We expect revenue and profit for the Outsourced Solutions segment to increase during the remainder of the fiscal year as a result of the revenue contribution from PayModeour Paymode-X and new Legal eXchange customers going live in the fourth quarter.solutions.

Software Licenses. The increase in software license revenues was due to an increase in revenue of approximately $0.5$0.2 million from our US and European payment products offset in part by decreasesand increases of approximately $0.4$0.3 million in software license revenue from our Banking Solutions segment.  We expect software license revenues to increase during the remainder

Software Licenses. Software license costs consist of expenses incurred by us to manufacture, package and distribute our software products and related documentation and costs of licensing third party software that is incorporated into or sold with certain of our products. Software license costs increaseddecreased slightly to 7%6% of software license revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to 6%7% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009. The increase was related to higher costs of third party software that we license alongside our solutions during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We expect that software license costs will remain relatively consistent, as a percentage of software license revenues, during the remainder of the fiscal year.
 
Subscriptions and Transactions. Subscriptions and transaction costs include salaries and other related costs for our professional services teams as well as costs related to our hosting infrastructure such as depreciation and facilities related expenses. Subscriptions and transactions costs increased to 52%55% of subscription and transaction revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to 49%47% in the same period of 2009.  The increase in subscription and transaction costs of approximately $1.9$2.5 million was due principally to the costs associated with PayMode, which we acquired in September 2009,Paymode-X, and the costs associated with a subscription based revenue arrangement that commenced in the quarter.prior fiscal year. We expect that subscription and transaction costs will remain rela tivelyrelatively consistent as a percentage of subscription and transaction revenue during the remainder of the fiscal year due to our continued investment in PayMode.Paymode-X.
 
Service and Maintenance. Service and maintenance costs include salaries and other related costs for our customer service, maintenance and help desk support staffs, as well as third party contractor expenses used to complement our professional services team. Service and maintenance costs decreased slightly to 43%remained unchanged at 42% of service and maintenance revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to 44% in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009.  The decreaseincrease in service and maintenance costs as a percentage of service and maintenance revenuesapproximately $0.7 million was due primarily to a more profitable mix of service engagements and a general reductionincreased costs in costs as a result of our prior year headcount reductions.Banking Solutions segment that we incurred to support customer demand.  We expect that

service and maintenance costs will remain relatively consistent, as a percentage of service and maintenance revenues,rev enues, during the remainder of the fiscal year.
 
Equipment and Supplies. Equipment and supplies costs include the costs associated with equipment and supplies that we resell, as well as freight, shipping and postage costs associated with the delivery of our products. Equipment and supplies costs increased to 76% of equipment and supplies revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to 73%74% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009.  The cost increase as a percentage of revenues is primarily related to a higher mix of lower margin transactions.  We expect that equipment and supplies costs will remain relatively consistent as a percentage of equipment and supplies revenues for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions, travel, public relations and marketing materials and trade show participation. Sales and marketing expenses increased in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 as a result of an increase in headcountemployee related costs of $0.9$0.6 million primarily due primarily to PayMode, and an increasethe impact of $0.3 million as a result of an increase in foreign exchange rates associated with the British Pound Sterling and European Euro.Paymode-X.  We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase over the remainder of the fiscal year as we continue to focus on our marketing initiatives to support our new products, including PayMode.Paymode-X.

Product Development and Engineering. Product development and engineering expenses consist primarily of personnel costs to support product development which consists of enhancements and revisions to our products based on customer feedback and general marketplace demands, as well as development of our newer accounts payable automation products. The increase in product development and engineering expenses in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee related costs of $0.7 million related to PayModedriven by increased Paymode-X development and enhancement initiatives and due to an increase in costs associated with the use of contract resources of $0.1 million, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million associated with the use of develop ment resources in our Payments and Transactional Documents operating segment.$0.2 million.  We expect that product developmentd evelopment and engineering expenses will increase during the remainder of the fiscal year related to increased investment in our Banking Solutions segment and as we continue to invest in the enhancement of the PayModePaymode-X solution.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for operations and finance employees and legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses decreasedincreased in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 primarily due principally to cost reduction initiatives implementedincreases in our prior fiscal year, including a reduction in headcountemployee related costs of $0.4$0.2 million and a reduction in the use of professional servicesacquisition related expenses of $0.1 million.  These decreases were offset in part by an increase in facilities costs related to our acquisition of PayMode.   We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase slightlyremain consistent during the remainder of the fiscal ye ar.year.
 
         Amortization of Intangible Assets. We amortize our intangible assets in proportion to the estimated rate at which the asset provides economic benefit to us. Accordingly, amortization expense rates are often higher in the earlier periods of an asset’s estimated life. The decrease in amortization expense in the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2009 occurred as expense from intangible assets arising in prior acquisitions decreased as those assets aged, offset in part by an increase in amortization expense from intangible assets arising through our acquisition of PayMode.associated with Paymode-X. We expect that total amortization expense for fiscal 2011, excluding the impact of the Company’s October 2010 acquisition of SMA Financial, Ltd., will approximate $13.2$10.2 million.

We expect that the individual components of other income and expense will continue to represent minor components of our overall operations during the remainder of fiscal 2010.2011.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and income tax expense of $0.7$0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 and 2009.2009, respectively.  The income tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was substantially due to the impact of a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million arising from the release of a portion of our valuation allowance that had previously been recorded against our UK deferred tax assets.  Our ability to release a portion of the UK valuation allowance was attributable to continued profitability in our UK operations, which we expect will continue, including the attainment of three years of cumulative profitability on a pre-tax basis during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The tax benefit was offset in part by tax expense attributable to our UK, Australian and US
21

operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimum tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses, state tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes. 

Our income tax expense recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2010September 30, 2009 was due to tax expense associated with our UK, Australian and US operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimum tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses state income tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.  The income tax expense recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was due to tax expense associated with our German, Australian and US operations, offset in part by a tax ben efit associated with our UK operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposespurposes.  Income tax expense was partially offset by the benefit associated with a US tax refund claim for a portion of unused research and the use of deferred tax assets arising through prior business acquisitions.

Payments and Transactional Documents. The revenue increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to increases in service and maintenance revenue of $2.6 million from our European payment and
22

document automation products.  This increase was offset in part by a decrease of approximately $0.3 million as a result of declining foreign exchange rates associated with the British Pound Sterling.  The segment profit increase of $6.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to increases in service and maintenance revenues and software license revenues in Europe, combined with cost reductions associated with our fourth quarter headcount reductions.  These cost decreases were somewhat offset by increased sales and marketing costs in Europe.

Banking Solutions. Revenues from our Banking Solutions segment increased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to an increase of $5.7 million in professional services revenue associated with several large ongoing banking projects and revenue contribution of $1.1 million for an arrangement for which revenue recognition commenced in the quarter, offset in part by a decrease in software license revenue of $0.8 million.  Segment profit increased $4.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in segment profit was driven principally by the overall increase in revenues within the segment.

Outsourced Solutions. Revenues from our Outsourced Solutions segment increased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due principally to the revenue contribution from PayMode.  Segment profit increased $0.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to cost reduction measures implemented in our prior fiscal year.  Revenue increases from PayMode have been largely offset by increased PayMode costs related to servicing our new customers, ongoing product development and sales and marketing initiatives.

Software Licenses. The slight decrease in software license revenues was due to a decrease of $0.7 million in revenue from certain of our US document automation products and a decrease in software license revenues of $0.8 million within our Banking Solutions segment.  These decreases were offset in part by increases in software license revenue from our US and European payments and our Outsourced Solutions products of $1.1 million.
Subscriptions and Transactions. The increase in subscription and transaction revenues was due principally to the revenue contribution from PayMode and revenue contribution of $1.1 million associated with a subscription based revenue arrangement commencing in the period.
Service and Maintenance. The increase in service and maintenance revenues was primarily the result of an increase in professional services revenues of $7.9 million associated with several large banking projects, increased professional service revenues of $1.6 million in Europe and increases in software maintenance revenues in the US and Europe. These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $1.0 million in document automation services revenue in the US.
Equipment and Supplies. The decrease in equipment and supplies revenues was principally due to a decrease in revenues from our supplies sales, offset in part by increased equipment sales.

Software Licenses. Software license costs increased to 8% of software license revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in costs as a percentage of revenues was due to additional costs associated with third-party software that we sell alongside our solutions.
Subscriptions and Transactions. Subscriptions and transactions remained consistent at 50% of subscription and transaction revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  The increase in subscription and transaction costs in dollar terms was due principally to the costs associated with our PayMode solution.
Service and Maintenance. Service and maintenance costs decreased as a percentage of service and maintenance revenues to 43% in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 46% in the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in service and maintenance costs as a percentage of service and maintenance revenues was as a result of improved professional services margins in our Banking Solutions segment and due to the impact of cost reduction measures implemented in our prior fiscal year.
Equipment and Supplies. Equipment and supplies costs increased to 76% of equipment and supplies revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 73% of equipment and supplies revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2009.   The increase in costs as a percentage of revenue was due to a higher mix of lower margin transactions.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009 due to an increase in headcount related costs of $1.2 million, the majority of which is due to the impact of PayMode.  These increases were offset in part by a reduction in employee recruiting costs of $0.2 million.

Product Development and Engineering. The decrease in product development and engineering expenses was primarily attributable to a reduction in the use of development resources in our Payments and Transactional Documents and Banking lines of business of $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  These decreases were offset by an increase in the use of development resources associated with PayMode in the amount of $1.3 million.

General and Administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was principally attributable to a decrease in headcount related expenses of $1.8 million due primarily to the departure of our Chief Operating Officer in our prior fiscal year and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in costs related to the use of third party professional services, offset in part by $0.4 million of acquisition related expenses.
24

Amortization of Intangible Assets. We amortize our intangible assets in proportion to the estimated rate at which the asset provides economic benefit to us. Accordingly, amortization expense rates are often higher in the earlier periods of an asset’s estimated life. The decrease in amortization expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009 occurred as expense from intangible assets arising in prior acquisitions decreased as those assets aged, offset in part by an increase in amortization expense from intangible assets arising through our acquisition of PayMode. We expect that total amortization expense for fiscal 2010 will approximate $13.2 million.

Other Income, Net.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009, interest income decreased as a result of declining marketplace yields associated with our cash and short-term investment accounts.  Other income, net decreased as a result of declining foreign exchange gains associated with the British Pound Sterling and the European Euro.
Provision for Income Taxes.  We recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due to tax expense associated with our UK, Australian and US operations.  The US income tax expense was principally due to alternative minimum tax arising from the utilization of net operating losses, state income tax expense, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.  The income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was net of approximately $0.4 million of non-recurring tax benefits arising from a reduc tion in our unrecognized tax benefits upon the expiration of certain statutes of limitations from the enactment of legislation during fiscal year 2009 that allowed us to claim a tax refund for a portion of its unused research and development credit carryforwards in the US, and from a decrease in our German tax rate as a result of a restructuring of our German operations.  Our net income tax expense also reflected expense associated with our German, French, and Australian operations, as well as incomeintercompany transactions subject to tax expense in the US, offset in part by a tax benefit associated with our UK operations.multiple jurisdictions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily from cash provided by operating activities and the sale of our common stock. We have generated positive operating cash flows in each of our last eightnine completed fiscal years. Other than for insignificant amounts due under capital lease obligations, we have no long-term debt.  Accordingly, we believe that the cash generated from our operations and the cash and cash equivalents we have on hand will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

In additionOctober 2010, we acquired SMA Financial, Ltd., (“SMA”) for a cash payment of £5.0 million (approximately $7.9 million, based on foreign exchange rates at the time of the acquisition). SMA is a London-based provider of SaaS connectivity to our cash on hand,SWIFT for the automation of payments and financial messaging.  As a result of the acquisition, we have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that permits usexpect to offer next-generation treasury and sell upcash management solutions to $100,000,000a range of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, depository shares, stock purchase contractsbank and stock purchase units.  These securities may be offered and sold by us in one or more offerings.

corporate customers.  We also may receive additional investments from, and make investments in, customers or other companies. However, any such transactions would require the approval of our board of directors, and in some cases, stockholders and potentially bank or regulatory approval.

One of our goals is to maintain and improve our capital structure. The key metrics we focus on in assessing the strength of our liquidity and a summary of our cash activity for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are summarized in the tabletables below:

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At March 31,September 30, 2010 our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of cash deposits held at major banks, money market funds and marketable securities. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 31,September 30, 2010 from June 30, 20092010 was primarily due to $18.1$6.3 million of cash generated from operations, $4.9 million generated from the public offering of our common stock and $12.3$1.0 million in cash generated  from the exercise of stock options and the purchase of our stock by participants in our employee stock purchase plan.  These increases were offset slightly by the use of $17.8$0.7 million in cash to fund acquisitions, and to a lesser extent to purchase property and equipment.
 
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included $30.6$35.4 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31,September 30, 2010 that were denominated in currencies other than US Dollars.  Accordingly, declinesincreases in the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound, European Euro, and Australian Dollar to the US Dollar negatively affectedincreased our overall cash balances by approximately $1.7$2.0 million in the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010.  Further declineschanges in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies could have a continued negativesignificant effect on our overall cash balances.  However, we continue to believe that our existing cash balances, even in light of the foreign currency volatility we have recently experienced, are adequate to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.
 
Operating Activities. Cash generated from operating activities primarily relates to our net income, or loss, less the impact of non-cash expenses and changes in working capital.  Cash generated from operations increased by $0.3$1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 versus the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  This improvementprior year.  The increase was primarily due to our net income of $2.8$2.7 million in the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 versus a net lossincome of $8.7$1.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The improvementsame period in our net income position wasthe prior year and a decrease in cash used for other assets of $2.2 million, offset in part by a period over period increasedecrease in cash provided by accounts receivable of $4.8$1.6 million and a period over period decrease in cash provided by deferred revenue of $9.8$1.0 million.
At September 30, 2010, the deferred tax assets associated with our US operations and a portion of the deferred tax assets associated with our European operations have been reserved since, given the available evidence, it was deemed more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would not be realized.

At September 30, 2010, we had US net operating loss carryforwards of $47.0 million, ea chwhich expire at various times through the year 2028 and European net operating loss carryforwards of $9.2 million, which hadhave no statutory expiration date. We also currently have approximately $3.0 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards available, which expire at various points through year 2030. The Company’s operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations under provisions of the effect of decreasing overall operating cash flow for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Investing Activities. The increasedecrease in net cash used in investing activities for the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010 versus the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 was primarilypredominantly due to the use$17.0 million of $17.8 million in cash used to fund acquisitions occurring during the current fiscal year.our prior year acquisition of PayMode.
 
Financing Activities. The increase in cash inflows from financing activities relates primarily relate to the July 2010 partial exercise of an increaseover-allotment option from our June 2010 common stock offering.  This offering generated net proceeds of $4.9 million and was offset in part by a decrease in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options during the current fiscal year and the purchase of our stock by participants in our employee stock purchase plan.plan of approximately $0.8 million.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
During the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010, we did not engage in material off-balance sheet activities, including the use of structured finance, special purpose or variable interest entities, material trading activities in non-exchange traded commodity contracts or transactions with persons or entities that benefit from their non-independent relationship with us.

Purchase orders are not included in the table above. Our purchase orders represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. The contractual obligation amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum services to be used; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contract that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.   Also excluded from the table is our estimate of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31,September 30, 2010 in the amount of $1.0$0.7 million.  These amounts have been excluded because as of March 31,September 30, 2010 we are unable to estimate the timing of future cash outflows, ifi f any, a ssociatedassociated with these liabilities as we do not currently anticipate settling any of these tax positions with cash payment in the foreseeable future.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the market value of our investments in marketable securities primarily due to changes in interest rates. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions or other instruments to minimize our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations nor do we presently plan to in the future. Also, we have not entered into any interest rate swap agreements, or other instruments to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. There has been no material change to our exposure to market risk from that which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 11, 2009.10, 2010.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2010. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Excha ngeE xchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2010, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
 
On August 10, 2001, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Paul Cyrek v. Bottomline Technologies, Inc.; Daniel M. McGurl; Robert A. Eberle; FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.; Deutsche Banc Alex Brown Inc.; CIBC World Markets; and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. A consolidated amended class action complaint, In re Bottomline Technologies Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, was filed on April 20, 2002.
On November 13, 2001, a class action complaint was filed against Optio in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Kevin Dewey v. Optio Software, Inc.; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.; Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc.; FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.; Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.; Dain Rauscher Inc.; U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Inc.; C. Wayne Cape; and F. Barron Hughes. A consolidated amended class action complaint, In re Optio Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, was filed on April 22, 2002.
24

The amended complaints filed in both the actions against the Company and Optio assert claims under Sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The amended complaints assert, among other things, that the descriptions in the Company’s and Optio’s prospectuses for their initial public offerings were materially false and misleading in describing the compensation to be earned by the underwriters of the offerings, and in not describing certain alleged arrangements among underwriters and initial purchasers of the common stock from the underwriters. The amended complaints seek damages (or, in the alternative, tender of the plaintiffs’ and the class’s common stock and rescission of their purchases of the common stock p urchased in the initial public offering), costs, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other expenses.
In July 2002, the Company and Optio joined in an omnibus motion to dismiss, which challenged the legal sufficiency of plaintiffs’ claims. The motion was filed on behalf of hundreds of issuer and individual defendants named in similar lawsuits. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an order denying the motion to dismiss as to Bottomline and denying in part the motion to dismiss as to Optio. In addition, in October 2002, Daniel M. McGurl, Robert A. Eberle, C. Wayne Cape and F. Barron Hughes were dismissed from this case without prejudice. Both Bottomline and Optio authorized the negotiation of a settlement of the pending claims, and the parties negotiated a settlement, which was subject to approval by the court. On August 31, 2005, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. On December 5, 2 006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned the District Court’s certification of the class of plaintiffs who are pursuing the claims that would be settled in the settlement against the underwriter defendants. Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc with the Second Circuit on January 5, 2007 in response to the Second Circuit’s decision. On April 6, 2007, plaintiffs’ Petition for Rehearing of the Second Circuit’s decision was denied. On June 25, 2007, the District Court signed an order terminating the settlement. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in certain designated “focus cases” in the District Court. That motion was withdrawn. Neither Bottomline nor Optio’s cases are part of the designated focus case group. On November 13, 2007, the issuer defendants in the designated focus cases filed a motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaints that were filed in those cases. On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order denying, in large part, the motions to dismiss the amended complaints in these focus cases. On April 2, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of a new proposed settlement between plaintiffs, the underwriter defendants, the issuer defendants and the insurers for the issuer defendants. On June 10, 2009, the Court issued an opinion preliminarily approving the proposed settlement, and scheduling a settlement fairness hearing for September 10, 2009. On August 25, 2009, the plaintiffs in the initial public offering securities class action litigation against Bottomline and our subsidiary Optio Software, which is described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, or our Annual Report, filed a motion for final approval of the proposed settlement, approval of the plan of distribution of the settlement fund, and certification of the settlement classes. AThe settlement fairness hearing was held on September 10, 2009. On October 5, 2009, the Court issued an opinion granting plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement, approval of thet he plan of distribution of the settlement fund, and certification of the settlement classes. An order and final judgment was entered on November 25, 2009. Various notices of appeal of the Court’s or derorder have been filed.  For additional information regarding this litigation, please refer to our Annual Report.On October 7, 2010, all but two parties who had filed a notice of appeal filed a stipulation with the court withdrawing their appeals with prejudice, and the two remaining objectors filed briefs in support of their appeals.
 
27

The Company, and its subsidiary Optio, intend to vigorously defend themselves in these actions. Bottomline does not currently believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 

Item 1A.Risk Factors
 
  Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before making an investment decision involving our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations.
 
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
 
The risk factors below related to catastrophic events, security breaches and the concentration of revenue from subscription and transaction based arrangements represent material additions to our risk factors, and should be considered in addition to the other risk factors that follow, which do not reflect material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.2010.
 
Ongoing financial market volatility and adverse changesContinuing weakness or further deterioration in the domestic and global economic environmentconditions could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results
 
Our business and operating results could be significantly impactedaffected by general economic conditions. Since Fall 2008, theThe US and global economies have experienced an unprecedented series of events due toa significant prolonged downturn and prospects for sustained economic recovery remain
25

uncertain. Prolonged economic weakness or a further downturn in the effects of the credit market crisis, slowingUS and global economic activity, a decrease in consumer and business confidence and severe liquidity concerns. A prolonged economic downturneconomies could result in a variety of risks to our business, including:
 
increased volatility in our stock price;
 
increased volatility in foreign currency exchange rates;
 
delays in, or curtailment of, purchasing decisions by our customers or potential customers either as a result of continuing economic uncertainty or anxiety or as a result of their inability to access the liquidity necessary to engage in purchasing initiatives;
 
increased credit risk associated with our customers or potential customers, particularly those that may operate in industries most affected by the economic downturn, such as financial services; and
 
impairment of our goodwill or other assets.
 
During the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009,same period in the prior year, we experienced a slight decline in the foreign currency exchange rates associated with the British Pound Sterling which negatively impacted our overall revenue growth. Additionally, during fiscal 2009 we experienced a higher than anticipated level of volatility in our common stock price which we believe was a result of the general financial market turmoil rather than the result of anything specific to our business. We have observed that, in some cases, closing new business is taking somewhat longer and, in some cases, customer buying decisions are being postponed. To the extent that the current economic downturn worsens or persists, or any of the above risks occur, our business and operating results could be significantly and adversely affecte d.affected.
 
Our common stock has experienced and may continue to undergo extreme market price and volume fluctuations
 
The NASDAQ Global Market often experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market fluctuations of this type may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The stock prices for many companies in the technology sector have experienced wide fluctuations that often have been unrelated to their operating performance. The market price of our common stock has experienced and may continue to undergo extreme fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including:

Our business and operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates
 
We conduct a substantial portion of our operations outside of the US, principally in Europe and Australia. InDuring the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010, approximately 45%38% of our revenues and 32% of our operating expenses, respectively, were attributable to customers or operations located outside of North America. During fiscal 2009,the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year, the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound European Euro and Australian Dollar to the US Dollar declined significantly, and weslightly. We anticipate that foreign currency exchange rates may continue to fluctuate in the near term. As we experienced in fiscal 2009, continued2010, appreciation of the US Dollar against these foreign currenciesthe British Pound or future appreciation of the US Dollar against the European Euro and Australian Dollar will have the impact of reducing both our revenues and operating expenses.
 
Our future financial results will be impactedaffected by our success in selling new products in a subscription and transaction based revenue model
 
A substantial portion of our revenues and profitability were historically generated from perpetual software license revenues. We are offering a growing number of our products under a subscription and transaction based revenue model, which we believe has certain advantages over a perpetual license model, including better predictability of revenue. PayMode, which we acquired in September 2009, is sold on a subscription and transaction basis.
A subscription and transaction based revenue model typically results in no up-front revenue. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our customers, or the markets in which we compete, will respond favorably to the approach we have taken with our newer offerings. To the extent that our subscription and transaction based offerings do not receive general marketplace acceptance our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
 
26

An increasing number of large and more complex customer contracts, or contracts that involve the delivery of services over contractually committed periods, generally delaydelays the timing of our revenue recognition and, in the short-term, may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and the market price of our stock
 
Due to an increasing number of large and more complex customer contracts, particularly in our Banking Solutions segment, we have experienced, and will likely continue to experience, delays in the timing of our revenue recognition. These arrangements generally require significant implementation work, product customization and modification and user acceptance and systems integration testing, resulting in the recognition of revenue over the period of project completion which normally spans several quarters. Delays in revenue recognition on these contracts, including delays that result from customer decisions to halt or otherwise slow down a long-term project due to their own staffing or other challenges, could affect our operating results, financial condition and the market price of our common stock. Similarly, if we are unable to continue to generate new large orders on a regular basis, our business operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
We continue to make significant investments in existing products and new product offerings which can adversely affect our operating results; these investments may not be successful
 
We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology environment and believe that it is important to enhance existing product offerings and to develop new product offerings to meet strategic opportunities as they evolve. Our operating results have recently been affected by increases in product development expenses as we have continued to make investments in our hosted, banking and accounts payable automation products.products, principally Paymode-X. We may at any time, based on product needs or marketplace demands, decide to significantly increase our product development expenditures. Over the next several quarters, weWe expect to continue to make significant investments in PayMode, which we acquired in September 2009.Paymode-X during the remainder of fiscal year 2011. Investments in existing products and new product offerings can have a negative impact on our operating results, and any existing product enhancementsenhanc ements or new product offerings may not be accepted in the marketplace or generate material revenues.
 
Integration of acquisitions could interrupt our business and our financial condition could be harmed
 
Part of our operating strategy is to identify and pursue strategic acquisitions that can expand our geographical footprint or complement our existing product functionality. We may in the future continue to acquire or make investments in other businesses, products or technologies. Any acquisition or strategic investment we have made in the past or may make in the future may entail numerous risks, including the following:
 
difficulties integrating acquired operations, personnel, technologies or products;
 
inability to retain key personnel of the acquired company;
inadequacy of existing operating, financial and management information systems to support the combined organization or new operations;
 
write-offs related to impairment of goodwill and other acquired assets;
29

 
entrance into markets in which we have no or limited prior experience or knowledge;
 
diversion of management’s focus from our core business concerns;
 
dilution to existing stockholders and our earnings per share;
 
incurrence of substantial debt; and
 
exposure to litigation from third parties, including claims related to intellectual property or other assets acquired or liabilities assumed.
 
Any such difficulties encountered as a result of any merger, acquisition or strategic investment could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
As a result of our acquisitions, we could be subject to significant future write-offs with respect to intangible assets, which may adversely affect our future operating results
 
We review our intangible assets periodically for impairment. At March 31,September 30, 2010, the carrying value of our goodwill and our other intangible assets was approximately $64.9$66.0 million and $34.6$28.5 million, respectively. While we reviewed our goodwill and our other intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 20092010 and concluded that there was no impairment, we could be subject to future impairment charges with respect to these intangible assets or intangible assets arising as a result of acquisitions in future periods. Any such charges, to the extent occurring, would likely have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
27

 
Our fixed costs may lead to operating results below analyst or investor expectations if our revenues are below anticipated levels, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock
 
A significant percentage of our expenses, particularly personnel and facilities costs, are relatively fixed and based in part on anticipated revenue levels. In recent years, we have experienced slowing growth rates with certain of our licensed software products. InDuring the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009,same period in the prior year, we experienced a decline in the foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our EuropeanUK based revenues which negatively impacted our overall revenue growth. A decline in revenues without a corresponding and timely slowdown in expense growth could negatively affect our business. Significant revenue shortfalls in any quarter may cause significant declines in operating results since we may be unable to reduce spending in a timely manner.
 
Quarterly or annual operating results that are below the expectations of public market analysts could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in our operating results include the following:
 
economic conditions, which may affect our customers’ and potential customers’ budgets for information technology expenditures;
 
the timing of orders and longer sales cycles;
 
the timing of product implementations, which are highly dependent on customers’ resources and discretion;
 
the incurrence of costs relating to the integration of software products and operations in connection with acquisitions of technologies or businesses; and
 
the timing and market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by either us or our competitors.
 
Because of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful.
 
Our mix of products and services could have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock
 
The gross margins for our products and services vary considerably. Our software revenues generally yield significantly higher gross margins than do our subscription and transaction, service and maintenance and equipment and supplies revenue streams. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we experienced a decrease in our overallIf software license revenues. If software licenserevenues or recurring revenues were to significantly decline in any future period, or if the mix of our products and services in any given period did not match our expectations, our results of operations and the market price of our common stock could be significantly adversely affected.
 
We face risks associated with our international operations that could harm our financial condition and results of operations
 
A significant percentage of our revenues have been generated by our international operations, and our future growth rates and success are in part dependent on our continued growth and success in international markets. We have operations in
30

the US, UK, Australia, France and Germany. As is the case with most international operations, the success and profitability of these operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that include, in addition to the risks our business as a whole faces, the following:
 
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
differing regulatory and industry standards and certification requirements;
 
the complexities of foreign tax jurisdictions;
 
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and
 
import or export licensing requirements.
 
A significant percentage of our revenues to date have come from our payment and document management offerings and our future performance will depend on continued market acceptance of these solutions
 
A significant percentage of our revenues to date have come from the license and maintenance of our payment and document management offerings and sales of associated products and services. Any significant reduction in demand for our payment and document management offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our future performance could depend on the following factors:
 
retaining and expanding our software maintenance and subscriptions and transactions customer bases, which are significant sources of our recurring revenue;
28

continued market acceptance of our payment and document management offerings;
 
our ability to introduce enhancements to meet the market’s evolving needs for secure payments and cash management solutions; and
 
acceptance of software solutions offered on a hostedSaaS basis.
 
A growing number of our customer arrangements involve selling our products and services on a hostedSaaS basis, which may have the effect of delaying revenue recognition and increasing development or start-up expenses
 
An increasing number of our customer arrangements involve offering certain of our products and services on a hostedSaaS basis. As an example PayMode, which we acquired in September 2009, is a hosted offering.  HostedSuch arrangements typically include a contractually defined service period as well as performance criteria that our products or services are required to meet over the duration of the service period. Arrangements entered into on a hostedSaaS basis generally delay the timing of revenue recognition and often require the incurrence of up-front costs, which can be significant. We are continuing to make investments in many of our hosted offerings, such as PayMode and our related accounts payable automation products,particularly Paymode-X, and there can be no assurance that these products will ultimately gain broad market acceptance. Additiona lly, there is a risk thatAdditionally, we might be unable to consistently maintain the performance requirements or service levels called for under any such arrangements. SuchAny such events, to the extent occurring, could have a material and adverse effect on our operating results.

A growing portion of our revenue is derived from subscription and transaction based revenue arrangements

A growing portion of our revenue is being derived from subscription and transaction based arrangements. We believe that these arrangements have several advantages over perpetual license arrangements, including better predictability of revenue. However, there are also certain risks inherent with these transactions. For example, there is a risk that customers may elect not to renew these arrangements upon expiryexpiration or that they may aggressively attempt to renegotiate pricing or other significant contractual terms, either at or prior to the point of renewal, based on economic conditions that exist at that time. Further, in respect of our hosted and SaaS product offerings, customers often negotiate contractual termination rights in the event of a contractual breach by us which, to the extent occurring, might permit the customer to exit the contract prio rprior to the end of its term, generally without additional compensation to us. Our future revenue and overall growth rates depend significantly onupon customer retention. To the extent we were unable to achieve desired customer retention rates, or in the event we were unable to retain or renew customers on favorable economic terms, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
Our future financial results will depend on our ability to manage growth effectively
 
Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend in part on our ability to continue to enhance our operating, financial and management information systems. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, the quality of our services, our ability to retain key personnel and our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
31

 
We face significant competition in our targeted markets, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources
 
In recent years, we have encountered increasing competition in our targeted markets. We compete with a wide range of companies ranging from small start-up enterprises with limited resources, which compete principally on the basis of technology features or specific customer relationships, to large companies which can leverage significant customer bases and financial resources. Given the size and nature of the markets we target, the implementation of our growth strategy and our success in competing for market share is dependent on our ability to grow our sales and marketing capabilities and maintain an appropriate level of financial resources.

 
We depend on key employees who are skilled in e-commerce, payment, cash and document management and invoice presentment methodology and Internet and other technologies
 
Our success depends upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and key technical and sales employees who are skilled in e-commerce, payment methodology and regulation, and Internet, database and network technologies. Our key employees are in high demand within the marketplace and many competitors, customers and industry organizations are able to offer considerably higher compensation packages than we currently provide. The loss of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we currently do not maintain “key man” life insurance policies on any of our employees. While some of our executive officers have employment or retention agreements with us, the loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse eff ect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
29

Increased competition may result in price reductions and decreased demand for our product solutionsproducts
 
The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. Some competitors in our targeted markets have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, greater brand recognition and a larger installed customer base than we do. We expect to face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the markets we address. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships to expand their product offerings and to offer more comprehensive solutions. This growing competition may result in price reductions of our products and services, reduced revenues and gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our busine ss, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our success depends on our ability to develop new and enhanced products, services and strategic partner relationships
 
The markets in which we compete are subject to rapid technological change and our success is dependent on our ability to develop new and enhanced products, services and strategic partner relationships that meet evolving market needs. Trends that could have a critical impact on us include:
 
evolving industry standards, mandates and laws, such as those mandated by the National Automated Clearing House Association and the Association for Payment Clearing Services;
 
rapidly changing technology, which could cause our software to become suddenly outdated or could require us to make our products compatible with new database or network systems;
 
developments and changes relating to the Internet that we must address as we maintain existing products and introduce any new products; and
 
the loss of any of our key strategic partners who serve as a valuable network from which we can leverage industry expertise and respond to changing marketplace demands.
 
There can be no assurance that technological advances will not cause our products to become obsolete or uneconomical. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products in a timely and successful manner, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Similarly, if our new products do not receive general marketplace acceptance, or if the sales cycle of any of our new products significantly delays the timing of revenue recognition, our results could be negatively affected.
 
Our products could be subject to future legal or regulatory actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results
 
Our software products and hosted servicesSaaS offerings facilitate the transmission of business documents and information including, in some cases, confidential financial data related to payments, invoices and cash management. Our web-based
32

software products, and certain of our hosted servicesSaaS offerings, transmit this data electronically. While we believe that all of our product and service offerings comply with current regulatory and security requirements, there can be no assurance that future legal or regulatory actions will not impact our product and service offerings. To the extent that current or future regulatory or legal developments mandate a change in any of our products or services, require us to comply with any industry specific licensing or compliance requirements or alter the demand for or the competitive environment of our products and services, we might not be able to respond to such requirements in a timely or successfulcost effective manner. If this were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Any unanticipated performance problems or bugs in our product offerings could have a material adverse effect on our future financial results
 
If the products that we offer and continue to introduce do not sustain marketplace acceptance, our future financial results could be adversely affected. Since certain of our offerings are still in early stages of adoption and since most of our products are continually being enhanced or further developed in response to general marketplace demands, any unanticipated performance problems or bugs that we have not been able to detect could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from our other development efforts, negative publicity regarding us and our products, harm to our customer relationships and exposure to potential liability claims. In addition, if our products do not enjoy wide commercial success, our long-term business strategy will be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business
 
We are a highly automated business and we rely on our network infrastructure, various software applications and many internal technology systems and data networks for our customer support, development, sales and marketing and accounting and finance functions. Further, our hostedSaaS offerings rely on certain of these systems from the perspective of the ongoing
30

provision of services to our customers and potential customers. A disruption or failure of these systems in the event of a natural disaster, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack, or other catastrophic event could cause system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in product development, breaches of data security and loss of critical data. Such an event could also prevent us from fulfilling our customer orders or maintaining certain se rviceservice level requirements, particularly in respect of our hostedSaaS offerings. While we have developed certain disaster recovery plans and backup systems to reduce the potentially adverse effect of such events, a catastrophic event that resulted in the destruction or disruption of any of our data centers or our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
Security breaches or computer viruses could harm our business by disrupting the delivery of services, damaging our reputation, or resulting in material liability to us
 
Our products, particularly our hostedSaaS or web-based offerings, may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. In the course of providing services to our customers, we may collect, store, process or transmit sensitive and confidential information. A security breach affecting us could damage our reputation and result in the loss of customers and potential customers. Such an event could also result in material financial liability to us.
 
Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved to facilitate e-commerce. We may need to spend significant capital or other resources to ensure ongoing protection against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security concerns. Additionally, computer viruses could infiltrate our systems and disrupt our business and our provision of services, particularly our hostedSaaS offerings. Any such event could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
 
We could incur substantial costs resulting from warranty claims or product liability claims
 
Our product agreements typically contain provisions that afford customers a degree of warranty protection in the event that our products fail to conform to written specifications. These agreements typically contain provisions intended to limit the nature and extent of our risk of warranty and product liability claims. A court, however, might interpret these terms in a limited way or conclude that part or all of these terms were unenforceable. Furthermore, some of our agreements are governed by non-US law, and there is a risk that foreign law might provide us less or different protection. While we maintain general liability insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, we cannot be sure that our existing coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more lar ge claims.
 
Our products are used to facilitate the transmission of sensitive business documents and other confidential data related to payments, cash management and invoices. Further, some of our products facilitate the transfer of cash or transmit instructions that initiate cash transfer. Although we have not experienced any material warranty or product liability claims to date, a warranty or product liability claim, whether or not meritorious, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of
33

management’s attention and our resources, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
We could be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and could be subject to litigation regarding our intellectual property rights, causing serious harm to our business
 
We rely upon a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws and non-disclosure and other intellectual property contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. However, we cannot assure you that our patents, pending applications for patents that may issue in the future, or other intellectual property will be of sufficient scope and strength to provide meaningful protection to our technology or any commercial advantage to us, or that the patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. We enter into agreements with our employees and customers that seek to limit and protect the distribution of proprietary information. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that such rights will remain protected or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.
 
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property rights or as a result of an alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of others. Any such claims, whether or not meritorious, could require us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, delay product implementations, develop non-infringing intellectual property or acquire licenses to intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claim. These claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
31

 
We engage off-shore development resources which may not be successful and which may put our intellectual property at risk
 
In order to optimize our research and development capabilities and to meet development timeframes, we contract with off-shore third party vendors in India and elsewhere for certain development activities. While our experience to date with these resources has been positive, there are a number of risks associated with off-shore development activities that include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
less efficient and less accurate communication and information flow as a consequence of time, distance and language barriers between our primary development organization and the off-shore resources, resulting in delays or deficiencies in development efforts;
 
disruption due to political or military conflicts around the world;
 
misappropriation of intellectual property from departing personnel, which we may not readily detect; and
 
currency exchange rate fluctuations that could adversely impact the cost advantages intended from these agreements.
 
To the extent that these or unforeseen risks occur, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
 
Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our charter and under Delaware law could hinder a takeover attempt
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibiting, under some circumstances, publicly-held Delaware corporations from engaging in business combinations with some stockholders for a specified period of time without the approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding voting stock. Such provisions could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, even if such events could be beneficial, in the short-term, to the interests of our stockholders. In addition, such provisions could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions relating to the limitat ions of liability and indemnification of our directors and officers, dividing our board of directors into three classes of directors serving three-year terms and providing that our stockholders can take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders.
 
We may incur significant costs from class action litigation as a result of expected volatility in our common stock
 
In the past, companies that have experienced market price volatility of their stock have been the targets of securities class action litigation. In August 2001, we were named as a party in one of the so-called “laddering” securities class action suits relating to the underwriting of our initial public offering. In April 2008, we acquired Optio Software, which is also a party in a “laddering” securities class action suit. We could incur substantial costs and experience a diversion of our
34

management’s attention and resources in connection with any such litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
