Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize the extent to which, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits will not be realized.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” (“SFAS 128”) using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period and common equivalent shares consisting of stock options and unvested restricted stock (using the treasury stock method), if such stock options and unvested restricted stock have a dilutive effect.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans which are more fully described in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006.

On February 1, 2006, the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, SFAS 123(R), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and shares purchased under an employee stock purchase plan (if certain parameters are not met), to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value.

Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company began recording compensation cost related to the continued vesting of stock options that remained unvested as of February 1, 2006, as well as for all new stock option grants after our adoption date. The compensation cost to be recorded is based on the fair value at the grant date. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have an effect on our recognition of compensation expense relating to the vesting of restricted stock grants.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), any cash flows resulting from the tax benefit related to equity-based compensation was presented in operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-15, “Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option” (“EITF 00-15”). SFAS 123(R) superseded EITF 00-15, amended SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and requires tax benefits relating to excess equity-based compensation deductions to be prospectively presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for equity-based compensation under the provisions and related interpretations of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, we were not required to record compensation expense when stock options were granted to our employees as long as the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of the stock at the grant date.

~~The following table presents the impact~~As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on ~~selected line items for our condensed consolidated financial statements~~February 1, 2006, the Company’s net income for the three and six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 ~~(in thousands, except~~is $340,000 and $722,000 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.

Determining Fair Value ~~Under SFAS No. 123(R)~~

Valuation and Amortization Method.The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards granted using the Black-Scholes option ~~evaluation~~valuation model. The Company amortizes the fair value of all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods.

Expected Life.The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected life using the “simplified method” in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.

Expected Volatility.Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, the Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

Risk-Free Interest Rate.The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Expected Dividend Yield.The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock in the last ten years and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Expected Forfeitures.The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and ~~recorded~~records stock-based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A summary of the weighted average assumptions and results for options granted during the three and six months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 are as follows:

Stock Option Activity

In the quarter ended January 31, 2006, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested stock options, except those options granted to the CEO, with a grant price in excess of $7.50. This acceleration was accomplished to reduce the stock option expense in future years. This acceleration ~~will result~~results in approximately $1.9 million of expense savings ~~in future years.~~over the four year period from February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2010.

On March 10, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) voted to provide for the automatic accelerated vesting of all outstanding stock options and restricted stock of the Company upon the occurrence of certain specified triggering events deemed to constitute a change in control of the Company. This provision will require the Company to accelerate unrecognized stock-based compensation expense if a change in control event occurs prior to the original vesting schedule of the stock options or restricted stock.

Pursuant to the Director Stock Option Plan, each outside director on August 1st is granted a number of options with a Black-Scholes fair value of $60,000. Therefore, on August 1, 2006 each outside director received 11,976 options or 107,784 options in the aggregate.

Financial Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee or indemnification. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure by a guarantor in its interim and annual consolidated financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and indemnifications. The following is a summary of the agreements that the Company has determined are within the scope of FIN 45:

Under the terms of the majority of the Company’s software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a third party, it will indemnify its customer licensee against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in most of its software license agreements. In the event the customer cannot use the software or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may generally terminate the license and provide the customer a pro-rata refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The Company has recorded no liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or threatened infringement actions that are probable losses. ~~The Company believes the estimated fair value of these intellectual property indemnification clauses is minimal.~~

The Company has agreed to indemnify members of the board of directors, officers and certain key employees of the Company if they are made a party or are threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that they are acting in their capacities on behalf of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by them in any such capacities. The indemnity is for any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including but not limited to, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the directors, officers and key employees in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding, provided they acted in good faith. The Company maintains insurance coverage for directors and officers liability (“D&O insurance”). No maximum liability is stipulated in these agreements that include indemnifications of members of the board of directors, officers and certain key employees of the Company. The Company has recorded no liability associated with these indemnifications as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions or claims against the members of its board of directors or officers that are probable losses in excess of amounts covered by its D&O insurance. As

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” – an interpretation of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) to create a ~~result~~single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 as of February 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. The Company has not determined the ~~insurance policy coverage,~~effect, if any, that the ~~Company believes~~adoption of FIN 48 will have on the ~~estimated fair value~~Company’s financial position and results of ~~these indemnification agreements is minimal.~~operations.

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets, which include acquired developed technology and customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Customer relationships, obtained in the acquisition of Check Solutions in June 2001, with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis, which resulted in amortization expense of $350,000 during the three months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and 2005, ~~respectively.~~respectively, and $700,000 during the six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005.

The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense of customer relationships for the indicated fiscal years ending January 31 (in thousands):

4. Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company ishas been a party to a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks providing for a commitment amount of $30.0 million and a maturity date of July 31, 2006. The Company ~~did~~chose not ~~have any borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreement at April 30, 2006. Borrowings under~~to renew the credit ~~agreement bear interest equal~~facility, which expired by its terms on July 31, 2006, as current cash on hand, marketable securities and cash generated from operations are believed to ~~either the greater of prime or federal funds rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25%~~be sufficient to ~~2.25% depending on~~meet the Company’s ~~ratio of funded debt to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), or LIBOR plus a margin equal to 2.75% to 3.75% depending on~~cash requirements for the ~~Company’s ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. Interest payments are due quarterly. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.50% on~~foreseeable future. By not renewing the unused amount of the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified interest coverage, ratio of EBITDA to funded debt, and ratio of 80% of accounts receivable, cash and short term investments to funded debt. Additionally, the payment of dividends and the purchase of treasury stock is precluded and subject to the approval of the banks. Substantially all of the Company’s assets collateralize the revolving credit agreement. As of April 30, 2006,facility, the Company ~~is in compliance~~will be able to avoid certain fees and expenses associated with ~~the covenants~~renewing and maintaining a line of ~~the revolving credit agreement as amended.~~credit.

Interest expense, including the commitment fee and exclusive of the amortization of deferred loan costs on the credit agreement, was ~~$37,000~~$38,000 for the three months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and 2005, and $76,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005.

5. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company has established a valuation allowance to reserve its net deferred tax assets at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 because of the Company’s inconsistent history of generating profitable operations and taxable income. The tax provision was computed based on actual results by jurisdiction which resulted in a foreign tax provision of ~~$100,000~~$134,000 and ~~$81,000~~$102,000 for the three months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $234,000 and $183,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition to the provision for foreign taxes, the Company recorded $20,000 and $15,000 of U.S. Federal and State tax expense in the three and six months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for alternative minimum tax purposes.

6. Benefit Plans

8. Commitments and Contingencies

~~Shareholder Derivative Suit.~~

~~On June 15, 2004, by mutual agreement between the parties,~~ ~~Smith v. Carreker Corporation, et. al~~, Civil Action No. 303CV1211-M was reinstated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. This action was originally filed on May 29, 2003, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division as Civil Action no. 303CV1211-D. On January 15, 2004, the Court, acting upon the joint motion of the parties, dismissed the action without prejudice. This action was brought as a shareholders’ derivative action pursuant to Rule 23.1, Fed.R.Civ.P. for the benefit of Nominal Defendant Carreker Corporation against certain of its current and former officers and directors, i.e., John D. Carreker, Jr., James D. Carreker, Richard R. Lee, Jr., James L. Fischer, Donald L. House, David K. Sias, Terry L. Gage, James R. Erwin, Ronald G. Steinhart and Ronald Antinori, seeking to remedy their individual breaches of fiduciary duty, including their knowing violations of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), knowing violations of federal and state securities laws, acts of bad faith and other breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff sought redress (the form of which includes, among others, unspecified amounts of compensatory damages, interest and costs, including legal fees) for injuries to the Company and its shareholders caused by Defendants’ misfeasance and/or malfeasance during the period from May 20, 1998 through December 10, 2002. In May 2006, the District Court approved the final settlement of the derivative claims brought in this action, pursuant to which the Company agreed to adopt certain corporate governance enhancements and cover plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees and litigation expenses up to $300,000 and the litigation was terminated. Neither the Company nor any of its current or former officers and directors made any admission of wrongdoing.

Shareholder Class Action.

On April 16, 2003 the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, issued an order consolidating a number of purported class action lawsuits into a Consolidated Action styled In re Carreker Corporation Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 303CV0250-M. On October 14, 2003 the plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Class Action Complaint. The complaint, filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between May 20, 1998 and December 10, 2002, inclusive, alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 against all defendants (the Company, John D. Carreker Jr., Ronald Antinori, Terry L. Gage and Ernst & Young, the Company’s auditors), violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants, and violation of Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act against defendants John D. Carreker, Jr. and Ronald Antinori. The complaint also alleges, among other things, that defendants artificially inflated the value of Carreker stock by knowingly or recklessly misrepresenting the Company’s financial results during the purported class period. On March 22, 2005 the Court dismissed the action without prejudice and allowed the plaintiffs 60 days in which to file an amended complaint. Also the Court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims by shareholders relating to periods prior to July 31, 1999.

On May 31, 2005, the plaintiffs filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between July 30, 1999 and December 10, 2002, inclusive, which reiterates the allegations in the first complaint, and alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 against all defendants (the Company, John D. Carreker Jr., Ronald Antinori and Terry L. Gage) except Ernst & Young LLP, violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants, and violations of Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act against defendants John D. Carreker, Jr. and Ronald Antinori. The plaintiffs are seekingsought unspecified amounts of compensatory damages, interest and costs, including legal fees.

On April 21, 2006, counsel for the plaintiffs and defendants ~~executed and submitted to the Court a stipulation of settlement whereby they have~~ agreed to settle the class action litigation for a payment of $5,250,000. The ~~proposed settlement was preliminarily approved by the~~ District Court entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice on ~~May 5,~~August 17, 2006 ~~but remains subject to final court approval. At this time, there can be no assurance that~~concluding the ~~settlement will receive final court approval.~~

litigation. The settlement ~~payments~~payment in ~~both the shareholder derivative suit and~~ the class action ~~are~~was fully covered by the Company’s directors and officer’s insurance policies.

The Company is periodically involved in various other legal actions and claims which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the final disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

9. Business Segments and Revenue Concentration

The tables below show revenues and income (loss) from operations for the periods indicated for our four reportable business segments: Revenue Enhancement, Global Payments Technologies, Global Payments Consulting and Business Process Outsourcing. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year business segment presentation. Our customer projects are sold on a solution basis, so it is necessary to break them down by segment and allocate accordingly. Included in “Corporate Unallocated” are costs related to selling and marketing, and certain unallocated corporate overhead expense such as executive management, finance, accounting, human resources, legal and certain IT and facility functions. Business segment results, which include costs for research and development as well as product royalty expense, the amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the write-off of capitalized software costs and restructuring and other charges, were as follows (in thousands):

Overview

Since 1978, Carreker Corporation has designed, developed, sold and delivered payments-related software and consulting solutions to financial institutions and financial service providers. More recently, we have introduced a business process outsourcing solution to our customers. Our products and services address a broad spectrum of payment activities and are designed to help our clients enhance the performance of their payments businesses; improve operational efficiency in payments processing; enhance revenue and profitability from payments-oriented products and services; reduce losses associated with fraudulent payment transactions; facilitate compliance with risk-related laws and regulations; and/or maximize clients’ customer income streams by aligning their customer interactions and products with customer needs. Carreker employed a total of ~~491~~492 employees at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006.

We are organized into four business unit operating divisions: Global Payments Technologies (“GPT”), Revenue Enhancement (“RevE”), Global Payments Consulting (“GPC”) and a Business Process Outsourcing business which is delivered through a majority-owned subsidiary named Carretek LLC (“Carretek”) to address the payments outsourcing arena. These operating divisions are operated in distinct yet increasingly synergistic ways to bring value to our clients.

Global Payments Technologies. This division is responsible for design, development, sales, and support of our technology solutions. The division has three lines of business with distinct solution offerings: Risk solutions, Payments solutions and Cash & Logistics solutions. Revenue is primarily derived from license fees, implementation fees and maintenance fees. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, GPT had ~~285~~282 employees.

Revenue Enhancement. This highly specialized division provides consulting and software solutions focused on increasing clients’ revenue streams. Areas of expertise include fee income, market segmentation, management of customer price structures, account retention, account acquisitions and profitability. A majority of the revenue generated by this division is through benefit-sharing agreements with our customers, recorded as consulting revenue along with license fees, maintenance fees and implementation fees from our CVE software offering. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, RevE had 8385 employees.

Global Payments Consulting. The objective of this professional services division is to provide our clients with “applied thought leadership” related to the business of payments. Revenue in the GPC division is primarily derived through the delivery of consulting services offered primarily on a time and materials basis to our clients, along with the license fees, maintenance fees and services fees associated with our Float Pricing System software offering and Payments Clearing Model product offering. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, GPC had 23 employees.

Business Process Outsourcing.In fiscal 2003 we formed Carretek. Carretek is a transformational business outsourcer for information technology and payment and transaction processing jointly owned by Carreker Corporation and Majesco Software, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Mastek Limited, a leading Indian outsourcing company with global operations. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, 2 of the Company’s U.S. based employees and ~~131~~119 offshore personnel of Mastek Limited were seconded to Carretek on a contract basis.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins.We strive to control our cost of revenues and thereby maintain or improve our gross margins. The major items impacting cost of consulting, cost of software maintenance and cost of software implementation are personnel, overhead and related expenses. The major items impacting cost of software licenses are amortization of both capitalized and acquired software and also software royalties for software from third parties. While the amortization expense is relatively fixed, the third party royalty expense can vary significantly based on the relative product mix.

Operating Expenses.Operating expenses, including selling, general and administrative and research and development, are substantially driven by personnel and overhead expenses. Other significant operating expenses that we monitor include professional fees, use of contractors, travel, insurance and office services expenses. As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, the Corporate Account Relationship Management and Marketing staff had 1820 employees, and the Corporate staff which includes Executive Management, Legal, Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, Facilities and IT had 80 employees.

Liquidity and Cash Flows.Cash and cash equivalents at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and January 31, 2006 totaled ~~$34.8~~$27.6 million and $29.7 million, respectively. In addition, we had ~~$5.9~~$5.9 million of marketable debt securities at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, as compared to $4.7 million at January 31, 2006. At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and January 31, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit agreement. Additionally, we did not renew our revolving credit agreement which expired by its terms on July 31, 2006 as current cash on hand, marketable securities and our cash projected to be generated from operations are believed to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Products and Services

The products and services of our primary operating divisions are described below in this sequence: Global Payments Technologies (“GPT”), Revenue Enhancement (“RevE”), Global Payments Consulting (“GPC”) and Business Process Outsourcing.

Global Payments Technologies.Carreker’s technology solutions help financial institutions address the needs of some critical payment services and delivery functions that impact overall operating revenues and costs and risk management. These functions include presentment of checks in paper and electronic form, identification and mitigation of fraudulent payments, handling irregular items such as checks returned unpaid (exceptions), maintaining a record of past transactions (archiving), responding to related customer inquiries (research), and correcting any errors that are discovered (adjustments). Global Payments Technologies (“GPT”) solutions address these and other key functions in the context of improving operational efficiency and a gradual transition from paper to electronic-based payment systems. GPT offers risk management solutions that mitigate depository account risk through profiling and advanced analytics technology. GPT risk management solutions leverage transaction monitoring and filtering capabilities for AML and OFAC compliance. Finally, we offer technology solutions that optimize the inventory management of a bank’s cash stock levels and logistical service requirements, including managing how much is needed, when it is needed and where it is needed. Our solutions reduce the

amount of cash banks need to hold in reserve accounts and as cash-on-hand while ensuring a high level of customer service through timely replenishment of ATM cash supplies at minimal logistical services cost.

Within this area of expertise, the Carretek offering includes a flexible array of offshore outsourcing services to financial institutions.

Executive Summary

Comparison of Three Months Ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 (“Q1Q2 2006”) to Three Months Ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2005 (“Q1Q2 2005”) and Six Months Ended July 31, 2006 (“YTD 2006”) to Six Months Ended July 31, 2005 (“YTD 2005”)

Our consolidated revenues declined ~~3.4%~~$1.1 million, or 3.7%, to ~~$27.2~~$28.8 million in ~~the three months ended April 30, 2006. We generated a net loss of $34,000 in the three months ended April 30,~~Q2 2006 as compared to $29.9 million in Q2 2005, and our revenues declined $2.1 million, or 3.6%, to $56.0 million in YTD 2006 as compared to $58.1 million in YTD 2005. Our net income ~~of $498,000~~declined $93,000, or 8.8%, to $961,000 in ~~the three months ended April 30, 2005. The decrease~~Q2 2006 as compared to $1.1 million in Q2 2005 and our net income ~~was primarily the result of a decline~~declined $625,000, or 40.3%, to $927,000 in ~~revenue within both our RevE and GPT business segments, offset by increased revenue within our GPC business segment and by a slight decline~~YTD 2006 as compared to $1.6 million in operating costs and expenses. Our cash balance increased $5.1 million and our marketable securities increased $1.2 million during the three months ended April 30, 2006. This increase in cash and marketable securities is primarily the result of the collection of our calendar year maintenance renewals.YTD 2005.

The decline in our revenue was primarily associated with our RevE business segment. Both the Q2 2006 and YTD 2006 declines in revenue within RevE were centered in its traditional contingent fee based consulting revenues, particularly within its international markets. The decline in RevE revenues was partially offset by an increase in GPT business ~~segment. Revenue within this~~ segment ~~declined $1.7 million, or 9.7%, for~~revenues. GPT’s increase in revenues in Q2 2006 and YTD 2006 was primarily the ~~three months ended April 30, 2006. The decline is primarily~~result of an increase in software license revenue within the Payments group.

The Payments group includes such products as Image Archive and Exception Management applications as well as Source Capture, ExchgLink and Image Replacement Document (“IRD”) solutions. During Q2 2006, a single GPT customer expanded its licenses for both the Image Archive and IRD Author solutions. This expansion resulted in approximately $2.3 million of software license revenue in Q2 2006, and accounted for 41.4% and 28.2% of software license revenue in Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively.

Our cost of revenues declined on an absolute dollar basis $367,000, or 2.5%, to $14.1 million in Q2 2006 as compared to $14.5 million in Q2 2005 and our cost of revenues on an absolute dollar basis was relatively flat in YTD 2006 as compared to YTD 2005. The decline in revenues, discussed above, lowered our gross profit to 51.1% in Q2 2006 as compared to 51.7% in Q2 2005 and 49.5% in YTD 2006 as compared to 50.9% in YTD 2005.

Total operating expenses declined $261,000, or 1.8%, to $14.2 million in Q2 2006 as compared to $14.5 million in Q2 2005, and operating expenses declined $796,000, or 2.8%, to $27.6 million in YTD 2006 as compared to $28.4 million in YTD 2005. There were slight declines in both selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses and there have been no restructuring and other charges recorded to date in fiscal 2006, which compares to $28,000 in Q2 2005 and $123,000 in YTD 2005.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $27.6 million at July 31, 2006, reflecting a decrease of $7.2 million from the end of Q1 2006 but only a decrease of $2.1 million on a YTD basis. This decrease was primarily the result of ~~continued technology investment delays by our customers and~~increased accounts receivable, particularly within the intensification of competition in this particular market space. However, some traction has been gained in recent months as GPT’s initial Source Capture Branch installation was accepted by our customer in the three months ended January 31, 2006 and two smaller Source Capture installations were in progress during the three months ended April 30, 2006. Additionally, one large customer did not pay their fiscal 2006 maintenance renewal by April 30, 2006, which resulted in the deferral of approximately $374,000 of revenue from Q1 2006 to future periods. Finally, we signed an agreement with IBM on May 15, 2006 under which IBM will serve as a key channel to the larger North American financial institutions.

In absolute dollars, our cost of revenues increased $116,000 to $14.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2005. This slight increase in costs, along with the decline in revenue discussed above, lowered our gross margin to 48.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to 50.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2005.

Operating expenses includes selling, general and administrative, research and development, amortization of customer relationships and restructuring and other charges. Overall, operating expenses declined $535,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses have declined $124,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2005. This reduction was primarily related to reductions in expenses in both corporate andRevE business segment ~~sales and marketing functions. These reductions have been partially offset by increased legal fees in lawsuits~~ in which we are the plaintiff along with increased professional fees. Additionally, the three months ended April 30, 2006 was the first period that contains stock option expense which totaled $382,000, of which $303,000 is contained in selling, general and administrative expense.

~~During the three months ended April 30, 2006, we did not record any restructuring and other charges, which compares to $95,000~~several large contracts recorded in the ~~three~~first six months ~~ended April 30, 2005.~~of fiscal 2006 contain payment terms which extend into the latter half of fiscal 2006.

We continue to focus on increasing research and development, particularly within GPT, to enhance our existing product offerings and develop new product offerings, and incurred research and development expenses of $2.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared with $2.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2005. In the three months ended April 30, 2006, we continued to focus on enhancing our Payments offerings and introducing several new Cash and Risk solutions within GPT.

We anticipate revenue growth during the second half of the 2006 fiscal year ~~due~~relative to the availability and anticipated acceptance of several new products and service offerings, which were developed during 2005, as well as new products and services expected to be introduced in 2006. Overall annual revenue growth is anticipated to be in the latterfirst half of the year due to various factors including the timing of revenue realization in our RevE business segment as well as a lengthened decision cycle and longer timelines for implementation and customer acceptance associated with certain new products.fiscal 2006. We expect that revenue and net income ~~(loss)~~ for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2006 will be ~~down from~~roughly in line with the ~~corresponding~~second quarter ~~in fiscal 2005 but believe~~of 2006 and that we will achieve improved revenue and net income in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. We also believe that we are well positioned for improved profitability in fiscal 2007 as a result of anticipated revenue growth, ~~ongoing cost containment efforts,~~improved operating leverage, and the decrease in scheduled amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangible assets.

~~Our decline~~Overall, total revenue declined $1.1 million, or 3.7%, to $28.8 million in ~~total revenues of 3.4% in Q1~~Q2 2006 as compared to Q1$29.9 million in Q2 2005 and total revenue declined $2.1 million, or 3.6%, to $56.0 million in YTD 2006 as compared to $58.1 million in YTD 2005. The decline on both a quarterly and YTD basis is ~~concentrated primarily~~centered within the ~~GPT~~RevE business segment.

The decline in GPT segment revenue is primarily within its Payment Solution offerings. The market’s adoption of post-Check 21 related technology has been much slower than expected. We experienced isolated success with our ExchgLink solution while our IRD authoring software and remote Source Capture solution have experienced greater success with several major banks and the Federal Reserve. For instance, GPT gained acceptance of its initial Source Capture Branch installation in the quarter ended January 31, 2006 and has two smaller Source Capture engagements in progress as of April 30, 2006.

Our RevE segment revenues declined ~~$401,000,~~$3.5 million, or ~~4.4%~~32.5%, ~~in Q1 2006, as compared to Q1 2005.~~on a quarterly basis and $3.9 million, or 19.8%, on a YTD basis. RevE’s traditional contingent consulting revenues declined ~~$205,000,~~$2.6 million, or ~~2.7%~~29.2%, on a quarterly basis and $2.8 million, or 16.8%, on a YTD basis. There were 15 revenue producing consulting engagements in both Q2 2006 and Q2 2005 and 17 revenue producing consulting engagements in YTD 2006 and YTD 2005. RevE did not derive any consulting revenue from its international customers in the first six months of fiscal 2006, which compares to ~~$7.5~~$3.9 million in ~~Q1 2006 as compared~~the first six months of fiscal 2005. However, RevE is in the early phases of several international engagements in which the consulting revenue has yet to ~~$7.7 million in Q1 2005.~~be realized. In Q1Q2 2006, approximately ~~$5.2~~$2.8 million, or ~~69.0%~~38.7%, and in YTD 2006 approximately $8.0 million, or 50.4%, of RevE’s ~~contingent consulting~~total revenue was derived from a single consulting engagement ~~at U.S. Bank. The number of revenue producing engagements decreased to 9~~that should be completed in ~~Q1 2006 from 13 in Q1 2005 and this also led to a decline in out-of-pocket expense reimbursements of approximately $115,000 in Q1 2006 as compared to Q1 2005. The~~early Q3 2006. Additionally, the software license, ~~and software~~maintenance, implementation and other services revenue derived from RevE’s CVE ~~software and~~ proprietary sales management offering declined approximately ~~$80,000~~$801,000, or 50.7%, to $779,000 in Q1Q2 2006 as compared to Q1$1.6 million in Q2 2005 and declined approximately $882,000, or 35.7%, to $1.6 million in YTD 2006 as compared to $2.5 million in YTD 2005 as the number of active engagements declined from 3 to 2.

~~GPC revenues~~The increase in GPT segment revenue on both a quarterly and YTD basis is primarily the result of increased ~~$945,000, or 97.0%, to $1.9~~software license revenue within our Payments solutions offerings. In Q2 2006, a single GPT customer expanded its license for both the Image Archive and IRD Author solutions. The expansion resulted in approximately $2.3 million of software license revenue in Q1Q2 2006. This transaction accounted for 11.4% and 6.3% of GPT’s total revenue in Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively.

GPC’s revenue decline in Q2 2006 as compared to ~~$1.0 million in Q1 2005.~~Q2 2005 was primarily the result of decreased consulting revenue. GPC has intensified its sales focus as we completed the repositioning of this business to focus on enterprise-wide payment electronification strategies, image enablement planning and integration and risk mitigation. The quarterly consulting revenue ~~increase~~decrease can be attributed to ~~an increase~~fluctuations in the ~~average deal size for consulting engagements~~timing of certain engagements. On a YTD basis, all revenue categories within GPC have increased in YTD 2006 as compared to YTD 2005.

Our outsourcing revenue is derived through Carretek, our 51% owned business which offers outsourcing for information technology and payment and transaction processing. Carretek was formed in fiscal 2003 and signed its first customer agreement in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In 2005, we increased staffing under our initial contract and expanded our scope with this single customer to include a second and third set of transaction processing functions which has significantly increased ~~revenue.~~

Check 21 permits U.S. banks to accept digital images of checks the same way that they accept a paper check. We have introduced several new Payment solution products to compete in this space such as ExchgLink, our solution for exchanging images with other banks, IRD Author which generates and processes substitute checks often referred to as image replacement documents (“IRD”), Image Inspector which ensures image quality and, finally, Source Capture which allows customers to capture deposits at branches, ATM’s and bank customer sites. Delayed industry adoption rates and intensified competition have dampened results relative to our ~~expectations. Our first Source Capture Branch~~expectations; however, in Q2 2006, a single GPT customer ~~accepted our~~expanded its license for both the Image Archive and IRD Author solutions. This expansion resulted in approximately $2.3 million of software license revenue in ~~Q4 2005 and we have two~~Q2 2006 as no software implementation or other ~~smaller Source Capture engagements currently~~services were required. This transaction accounted for 42.1% of GPT’s software license revenue in ~~progress. We believe that industry adoption and corresponding IT spending in this area will accelerate later in~~Q2 2006 and ~~into 2007.~~30.2% for YTD 2006.

The GPC business segment software license revenues ~~increased $243,000~~decreased $87,000, or 75.7%, to $28,000 in Q1Q2 2006 as compared to Q1$115,000 in Q2 2005 and increased $156,000, or 135.6%, to $271,000 in YTD 2006 as compared to $115,000 in YTD 2005. The YTD increase is primarily due to the ~~acceptance~~introduction of ~~its~~a new Payments Financial Modeling application ~~at a major domestic bank. This acceptance resulted in $175,000 of software license revenue.~~ and renewed demand for its Float Management products.

The ~~GPC increase in~~ software license revenue ~~was partially offset by software license revenue~~derived from our CVE product offering within ~~the~~our RevE business segment ~~declining $122,000,~~declined $183,000, or ~~40.4%~~72.6%, to $69,000 in Q1Q2 2006 as compared to Q1$252,000 in Q2 2005 and declined $305,000, or 55.2%, to $248,000 in YTD 2006 as compared to $553,000 in YTD 2005.

This decline is the result of less active engagements; however, RevE’s strategy changed in fiscal 2006 to focus less on marketing CVE’s traditional software licenses and putting more emphasis on its consulting and other services, such as training. This change in strategy has led to an expansion of our CVE services for an existing customer and a pilot project for a new customer.

As with software license fees, most of our maintenance fees are derived from our GPT business segment. Software maintenance fees are paid pursuant to annually renewable product and telephone support agreements with our software customers. The annual maintenance fee is generally paid by the customer at the beginning of the maintenance period and we recognize this maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the related contract. If the annual maintenance fee is not paid at the beginning of the maintenance period, we defer revenue recognition until the time that the maintenance fee is collected. When the payment is received, maintenance revenue is recognized for the period that maintenance revenue was previously deferred. Also, maintenance contracts usually carry annual maintenance fee escalation clauses typically based on an index, such as the consumer price index. Because our revenue recognition policy requires the collection of cash before revenue can begin to be recognized, our software maintenance revenue will fluctuate quarter-to-quarter. For our GPT business segment, one large customer did not pay ~~their~~the maintenance renewal by April 30, 2006 and this resulted in the deferral of approximately ~~$374,000~~$374,000. This renewal was paid in Q2 2006 and the previously deferred maintenance revenue ~~to future periods.~~was recognized. Typically, our software maintenance revenue fluctuates between $10.0 million and $11.0 million per quarter.

In the majority of our software customer arrangements, installation services are provided to the customer. Most of our software implementation fees are derived from our GPT business segment. The software implementation and other services revenue derived from GPT declined ~~9.7%~~$124,000, or 3.5%, ~~or $344,000,~~ to ~~$3.2~~$3.4 million in Q1Q2 2006 as compared to $3.5 million in Q1Q2 2005 and declined $468,000, or 6.6%, to $6.6 million in YTD 2006 as compared to $7.1 million in YTD 2005. This decline within GPT on a quarterly basis was primarily within the Risk and Cash product offerings offset by a slight increase within the Payments ~~solutions group~~product offerings. This decline within Risk and Cash is primarily the result of lower software license revenue as both product groups are introducing new and/or enhanced product offerings to their respective markets. On a YTD basis, the decline is within the Payments product offerings.

RevE’s cost of revenues increased~~was within GPT and was primarily within the cost of consulting, as this group begins to change its focus around its CVE product offering from software license and services to consulting. GPT’s cost of revenues declined primarily within cost of software maintenance and is the result of GPT reducing its workforce by 29 employees in Q3 2005.

The cost of software licenses consists principally of amortization of capitalized and acquired software costs along with royalties payable to third parties. The ~~increase in the~~ cost of software licenses ~~in Q1 2006 is~~was relatively flat on a quarterly basis and increased on a YTD basis primarily as the result of increased royalty expense due to product mix. The large decrease in the cost of software licenses as a percentage of software license revenue is attributed to the large increase in software license revenue within GPT discussed above.

In connection with software license, maintenance and certain consulting agreements entered into with certain banks and purchase agreements with vendors under which we acquire software technology used in products sold to our customers, we are required to pay royalties on sales of certain software products. Under these arrangements, we recognize royalty expense when the associated revenue is recognized. The royalty percentages generally range from 20% to 50% of the associated revenue. Approximately ~~$346,000~~$483,000 and ~~$92,000~~$462,000 of royalty expense was recorded under these agreements and charged to cost of software licenses in Q1Q2 2006 and Q1Q2 2005, respectively, and $829,000 and $554,000 in YTD 2006 and 2005, respectively. Depending on our future product mix, our margins from software license fees may be negatively impacted by increased software royalty expense.

% of software maintenance revenue	29.5		%	35.1		%						29.3		%	32.5		%						29.4		%	33.9		%

Cost of maintenance consists primarily of personnel and facility costs to provide telephone support, product defect support and other enhancements to our existing products which are not significant enough to extend the product’s life cycle, or substantially increase its marketability. These costs are primarily contained within our GPT business segment. The decline in costs of maintenance in absolute dollars ~~of $803,000 or 20.2% in Q1 2006, as compared to Q1 2005,~~on a quarterly and YTD basis is primarily the result of reduced personnel related costs and ~~personnel related~~contract labor costs within the GPT business segment which ~~began primarily in the last half of fiscal 2005 and~~ was the result of the personnel reductions carried out at the beginning of ~~the quarter ended October 31,~~Q3 2005.

The annual maintenance fee is generally paid by the customer at the beginning of the maintenance period and we recognize this maintenance revenue ratably over the term of the related contract. If the annual maintenance fee is not paid at the beginning of the maintenance period, we defer revenue recognition until the time that the maintenance fee is paid by the customer. When the payment is received, maintenance revenue is recognized for the period that maintenance revenue was previously deferred. As a result, our cost of software maintenance as a percentage of related maintenance revenue will fluctuate.

Capitalization only occurs if we believe costs capitalized are recoverable through future sales of the software product under development. ~~We currently have six~~At July 31, 2006, we had seven projects underway infor which costs were capitalized in Q1Q2 2006. Three of these projects are within Risk ~~solutions and~~solutions; three are within Cash & Logistics ~~solutions.~~solutions and one is a CVE solution. All ~~six solutions~~development projects are scheduled to be completed ~~in late Q2 2006 or early Q3~~by the end of fiscal 2006.

Amortization of Customer Relationships: Amortization of customer relationships was $350,000 in both Q1Q2 2006 and Q1Q2 2005, and $700,000 for YTD 2006 and YTD 2005. The amortization results from the periodic recognition of amortization expense of intangible customer relationships acquired in the Check Solutions acquisition in fiscal 2001, and this amortization will continue until May 2007.

Restructuring and Other Charges: There were no restructuring and other charges recorded ~~during Q1~~to date in fiscal 2006. However, we recorded $127,000 in restructuring and other charges during Q1 2005, principally associated with the separation of 6 employees, and we recorded $28,000 in restructuring and other charges during Q2 2005, principally associated with the separation of 2 employees. WeIn Q1 2005, we also lowered our estimate by $32,000 for the costs associated with the discontinuance of one of our software offerings originally recorded in January 2004.

We own a 51% interest in Carretek LLC (“Carretek”), through which we offer financial institutions offshore-centric outsourcing of their business processes. Carretek has generated approximately ~~$291,000~~$368,000 and ~~$626,000~~$434,000 in losses ~~for Q1~~in Q2 2006 and Q1Q2 2005, ~~respectively.~~respectively, and $667,000 and $1.1 million in losses YTD 2006 and YTD 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes: ~~The provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, and includes federal, state and foreign income taxes. In Q1 2006 and Q1 2005, the majority of~~We have established a valuation allowance to reserve our ~~tax provision consisted of foreign taxes incurred that could not be offset with U.S. tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our operations and cash expenditures primarily with cash generated from operating activities. At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, we had working capital of ~~$19.6~~$22.0 million compared to $17.9 million at January 31, 2006. We had ~~$34.8~~$27.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$5.1~~$2.1 million from $29.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2006. However, we also had $5.9 million of “available for sale” marketable securities at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, compared to $4.7 million at January 31, 2006. ~~At April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our revolving line of credit.~~ We expect that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and our cash projected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

Cash used in operating activities was $5.8 million for Q1 2006 compared to cash used in operating activities of $5.9 million in Q1 2005. Cash provided by operating activities was ~~$7.9~~$2.1 million ~~for the three months ended April 30,~~in YTD 2006 as compared to cash ~~provided by~~used in operating activities of ~~$2.1~~$3.8 million in ~~the three months ended April 30,~~YTD 2005. ~~The increase was primarily the result of the timing of the collection of 2006 calendar year maintenance billings as compared to the collection of the 2005 calendar year maintenance billings.~~

Average days’ sales outstanding fluctuate for a variety of reasons, including the timing of billings specified by contractual agreement, and receivables for expense reimbursements. The following table contains the quarterly days’ sales outstanding (DSO):

October 31, 2005		42
July 31, 2005		49
~~April 30, 2005~~		35

The increase in DSO is primarily the result of our RevE business segment providing payment terms for several large contracts recorded in Q1 and Q2 2006 which extended into Q3 and Q4 2006.

Cash used in investing activities ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$2.8~~$1.9 million ~~during the three months ended April 30,~~in Q2 2006 as compared to ~~$1.1~~$5.5 million ~~during the three months ended April 30, 2005.

The reduction in both the ~~three months ended April 30, 2005~~quarterly and ~~have~~YTD periods reflected a reduction in the purchase of marketable securities offset partially by increased ~~due to~~purchases of property and equipment and increased capitalized software. The increase in property and equipment is primarily the result of leasehold improvements performed in Charlotte, N.C., along with costs capitalized in connection with our ERP ~~system~~ upgrade. ~~Purchases of marketable securities were $3.5 million and sales of marketable securities were $2.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006.~~ Additionally, ~~the amount of~~ capitalized computer software costs increased ~~to $526,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2006, as compared to $437,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2005,~~ due to ~~increased~~more product development activity within our GPT and RevE business ~~segment.~~segments.

The cash provided by financing activities in both Q2 2006 and YTD 2006 was related to proceeds from stock option exercises along with a minority shareholder cash investment in Carretek LLC. The cash used in financing activities in Q2 2005 ~~we purchased $349,000~~and YTD 2005 was related to $2.9 million and $3.2 million of ~~our~~treasury stock purchases in Q2 2005 and YTD 2005, respectively. These common stock purchases were performed under a program to purchase ~~up to~~ $5.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock during the period April 18, 2005 through October ~~14,~~15, 2005. ~~These~~The cash used for these treasury stock purchases ~~were~~was partially offset by ~~$52,000 of~~ proceeds from ~~the~~ exercise of stock options and ~~a $551,000~~additional minority shareholder ~~cash investment~~equity contributions in Carretek LLC.

We ~~are~~were a party to a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks providing for a commitment amount of $30.0 million and a maturity date of July 31, 2006. ~~At April 30, 2006 and April 30, 2005, the Company did not~~There have ~~any~~been no borrowings ~~outstanding. Borrowings~~outstanding under the credit ~~agreement bear interest equal to either the greater of prime or federal funds rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% depending on~~facility since Q1 2004 and we believe our ratio of funded debt to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”); or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin equal to 2.75% to 3.75% depending on our ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. Interest payments are due quarterly. We are required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to 0.50% on the unused amount of the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, some of which have been amended, including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified interest coverage, ratio of EBITDA to funded debt, and ratio of 80% of accounts receivable,current cash and ~~short term investments~~cash equivalents, marketable securities and our cash projected to ~~funded debt. Additionally,~~be generated from operations to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the ~~payment of dividends and~~foreseeable future. Therefore, we chose not to renew the purchase of treasury stock is precluded subject to the approval of the banks. Substantially all of our assets collateralize this revolving credit agreement. As of April 30, 2006, we are in compliance with the covenants of the revolving credit agreement, as amended.

~~We are currently discussing the renewal of our~~ credit facility ~~with our existing lenders. The~~which expired by its terms ~~of any renewal are not expected to be significantly different than the current terms should the facility be renewed by and with our existing lenders.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we use certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures and our estimates may vary from actual results. We consider the following seven accounting policies the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ, and such differences could be significant to our financial results.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions,” Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” In the case of software arrangements that require significant production, modification, or customization of software, or the license agreement requires the Company to provide implementation services that are determined to be essential to other elements of the arrangement, the Company follows the guidance in SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of ~~Construction—~~Construction–Type and Certain ~~Production—~~Production–Type Contracts.”

In the case of non-software arrangements, we apply EITF No. 00-21 and revenues related to arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element based on the element’s relative fair value. Revenue allocated to separate elements is recognized for each element in accordance with our accounting policies described below. If we cannot account for items included in a multiple-element arrangement as separate units of accounting, they are combined and accounted for as a single unit of accounting and generally recognized as the undelivered items or services are provided to the customer.

Consulting.The Company employs three primary pricing methods in connection with its delivery of consulting services. First, the Company may price its delivery of consulting services on the basis of time and materials, in which case the customer is charged agreed-upon daily rates for services performed and out-of-pocket expenses. In this case, the Company is generally paid fees and related amounts usually on a monthly basis, and the Company recognizes revenues as the services are performed. Second, the Company may deliver consulting services on a fixed-price basis. In this case, the Company is paid on a monthly basis or pursuant to an agreed upon payment schedule, and the Company recognizes revenues on a proportionate performance basis. The Company believes that this method is appropriate because of its ability to determine performance milestones and determine dependable estimates of its costs applicable to each phase of a contract. Because financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the contract, costs are subject to revisions as the contract progresses. Anticipated losses on fixed-price contracts are recognized when estimable. Third, the Company may deliver consulting services pursuant to a value-priced contract with the customer. In this case, the Company is paid, on an agreed upon basis with the customer, either a specified percentage of (1) the projected increased revenues and/or decreased costs that are expected to be derived by the customer generally over a period of up to twelve months following implementation of its solution or (2) the actual increased revenues and/or decreased costs experienced by the customer generally over a period of up to twelve months following implementation of its solution, subject in either case to a maximum, if any is agreed to, on the total amount of payments to be made to the Company. The Company must first commit time and resources to develop projections associated with value-pricing contracts before a customer will commit to purchase its solutions, and the Company therefore assumes the risk of making these commitments with no assurance that the customer will purchase the solution. Costs associated with these value-pricing contracts are expensed as incurred. These contracts typically include payments to be made to the Company pursuant to an agreed upon schedule ranging from one to twelve months in length. The Company recognizes revenues generated from consulting services in connection with value-priced contracts once customer acknowledgement is obtained that confirms fees have become fixed and determinable. In some cases, these acknowledgements contain future deliverables or services, in which case the revenue from these engagements is recognized on a proportionate performance basis based on the efforts to be incurred following the customer acknowledgement. In an effort to allow customers to more closely match expected benefits from services with payments to the Company, the Company on occasion, may offer payment terms which extend beyond 12 months. When the Company enters into an agreement which has a significant component of the total amount payable under the agreement due beyond 12 months or if it is determined payments are not fixed and determinable at the date the agreement was entered into, revenue under the arrangement will be recognized as payments become due and payable. When fees are to be paid based on a percentage of actual revenues and/or savings to customers, the Company recognizes revenues only upon completion of all services and as the amounts of actual revenues or savings are confirmed by the customer with a fixed payment date.

Costs associated with time and materials, fixed-priced and value-priced consulting fee arrangements are expensed as incurred and are included as a component of the cost of consulting fees.

The Company expects that value-pricing contracts will continue to account for a significant portion of its revenues in the future. As a consequence of the use of value-pricing contracts and due to the revenue recognition policy associated with those contracts, the Company’s results of operations will likely fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Regardless of the pricing method employed by the Company in a given contract, the Company is typically reimbursed on a monthly basis for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of its customers.

Software License.A perpetual software license is sold either together with implementation services or on a stand-alone basis. The Company is usually paid software license fees in one or more installments, as provided in the customer’s contract but not to exceed twelve months. The Company recognizes software license revenue upon execution of a contract and delivery of the software, provided that the license fee is fixed and determinable, no significant production, modification or customization of the software is required and collection is considered probable by management. When the software license arrangement requires the Company to provide implementation services that are essential to the functionality of the software or significant production, customization or modification of the software is required, both the product license revenue and implementation fees are recognized as services are performed. A term software license is sold either together with implementation services and/or with maintenance services. These term licenses are usually paid in annual installments over the term of the license. If the term software license is sold without essential implementation services, the revenue is recognized ratably over the non-cancelable license term. If the term license is sold with essential implementation services, the license revenue is recognized as the lesser of the amount of license revenue recognized as services are performed or on a ratable basis.

In certain instances, especially with recently developed software, the Company defers software license revenue recognition until the earlier of the product being determined to be generally available and subject to revenue recognition or when the services are completed and the project is accepted by the customer. This practice is followed for the first two installations of a recently developed software product. After two successful implementations, the product is considered generally available (“GA”).

Software licenses are often sold as part of a multiple element arrangement that may include maintenance, implementation or consulting. The Company determines whether there is vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOEFV”) for each element identified in the arrangement to determine whether the total arrangement fees can be allocated to each element. If VSOEFV exists for each element, the total arrangement fee is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element. In cases where there is not VSOEFV for each element, or if it is determined services are essential to the functionality of the software being delivered, or if significant production, modification or customization of the software is required, the Company initially defers revenue recognition of the software license fees until VSOEFV is established or the services are performed. However, if VSOEFV is determinable for all of the undelivered elements, and assuming the undelivered elements are not essential to the delivered elements, the Company will defer recognition of the full fair value related to the undelivered elements and recognize the remaining portion of the arrangement value through application of the residual method. Where VSOEFV has not been established for certain undelivered elements, revenue for all elements is deferred until those elements have been delivered or their fair values have been determined. Evidence of VSOEFV is determined for software products based on actual sales prices for the product sold to a similar class of customer and based on pricing strategies set forth in the Company’s price book. Evidence of VSOEFV for services (implementation and consulting) is based upon standard billing rates and the estimated level of effort for individuals expected to perform the related services. The Company establishes VSOEFV for maintenance agreements using the percentage method such that VSOEFV for maintenance is a percentage of the license fee charged annually for a specific software product, which in most instances is 20% of the portion of arrangement fees allocated to the software license element.

Although substantially all of the Company’s current software licenses provide for a fixed price license fee, some licenses instead provide for the customer to pay a monthly license fee based on actual use of the software product. The level of license fees earned by the Company under these arrangements will vary based on the actual amount of use by the customer. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized on a monthly basis as the usage becomes determinable.

Software Maintenance.In connection with the sale of a software license, a customer may elect to purchase software maintenance services. Most of the customers that purchase software licenses from the Company also purchase software maintenance services, which typically are renewed annually. The Company charges an annual maintenance fee, which is typically a percentage of the initial software license fee. The annual maintenance fee generally is paid to the Company at the beginning of the maintenance period, and the Company recognizes these revenues ratably over the term of the related contract. If the annual maintenance fee is not paid at the beginning of the maintenance period, the Company defers revenue recognition until the time that the maintenance fee is paid by the customer. The Company normally continues to provide maintenance service while awaiting payment from customers. When the payment is received, revenue is recognized for the period that revenue was previously deferred. This may result in volatility in software maintenance revenue from period to period.

Software Implementation and Other Services.In connection with the sale of a software license, a customer may elect to purchase software implementation services, including software enhancements and other software services. Most of the customers that purchase software licenses from the Company also purchase software implementation services. ~~The~~The Company prices its implementation services on a time-and-materials or on a fixed-price basis, and the Company recognizes the related revenues as services are performed. Costs associated with these engagements are expensed as incurred.

Outsourcing Services.While outsourcing revenue has been minimal to date, we currently recognize revenue based on the number of items processed. These services are billed currently on a monthly basis.

Return Provisions.The Company’s contracts typically do not include right of return clauses, and as a result, the Company does not record a provision for returns.

Royalties

We are required to pay royalties in connection with software license, maintenance and consulting agreements entered into with certain customers under which we acquired third party software technology or other intellectual property used in products and services sold to our customers. Under these arrangements, we accrue royalty expense when the associated revenue is recognized. For current product offerings, the royalty percentages generally range from 20%-50% of the associated revenues. Royalty expense is primarily included as a component of the cost of software license revenues; however, certain amounts are also included in cost of consulting and cost of software maintenance in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

A large proportion of our revenues and receivables are attributable to our customers in the banking industry. Our trade accounts receivable balance is recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from our customers. Because our accounts receivable are typically unsecured, we periodically evaluate the collectibility of our accounts based on a combination of factors, including a particular customer’s ability to pay as well as the age of receivables. In cases where the evidence suggests a customer may not be able to satisfy its obligation to us or if the collection of the receivable becomes doubtful due to a dispute that arises subsequent to the delivery of our products and services, we set up a specific reserve in an amount we determine appropriate for the perceived risk. If circumstances change, such as higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a customer’s ability to meet their financial obligations to us, our estimates of recoverability of amounts due us could be reduced by a material amount.

Software Costs Capitalized, Acquired Developed Technology, Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

Software costs capitalized include developed technology acquired in acquisitions and costs incurred by us in developing our products that qualify for capitalization. We capitalize our software development costs, other than costs for internal-use software, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS 86”). Our policy is to capitalize software development costs incurred in developing a product once technological feasibility of the product has been established. Software development costs capitalized also include amounts paid for purchased software on products that have reached technological feasibility. Technological feasibility of the product is determined after completion of a detailed program design and a determination has been made that any uncertainties related to high-risk development issues have been resolved. If the process of developing the product does not include a detailed program design, technological feasibility is determined only after completion of a working model. All capitalized software development costs are amortized using an amount determined as the greater of: (1) the ratio that current gross revenues for a capitalized software project bears to the total of current and future projected gross revenues for that project or (2) the straight-line method over the estimated remaining economic life of the product (generally three to six years). We continually monitor the net realizable value of the software capitalized and acquired developed technology for factors that would indicate impairment, such as a decline in the demand or loss of a significant customer. During the quarterly period ended January 31, 2006, we performed our annual formal evaluation for impairment and determined that the carrying amount of these assets was not impaired and have noted no subsequent factors that would indicate impairment.

Goodwill is assessed on an annual basis for impairment at the reporting unit level by applying a fair value based test utilizing the results of a third party appraisal. We perform an annual impairment assessment on November 1st of each year or when factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for possible impairment. During the quarterly period ended January 31, 2006, we performed our annual evaluation for goodwill impairment and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired and have not noted any factors subsequent that would indicate impairment. Goodwill at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 totaled $20.8 million. Any deterioration in market conditions, increases in interest rates and changes in our projections with respect to the Global Payments Technologies reporting unit to which goodwill is allocated would result in additional impairment charges in the future.

Restructuring and Other Charges

These operational restructuring reserves contain significant estimates pertaining to work force reductions, and the settlement of contractual obligations resulting from our actions. Although we do not anticipate any significant changes in the future, the actual costs may differ from these estimates.

Contingencies

We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount or reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in insurance coverage or approach such as a change in settlement strategy.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. As a result of our recent history of inconsistent profitability, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. In addition, we expect to provide a full valuation allowance of any future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to utilize these assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

~~None.~~In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” – an interpretation of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of February 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded in retained earnings and other accounts as applicable. We have not determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments. The vast majority of these investments ~~are~~is denominated in U.S. dollars and maintained with nationally recognized financial institutions.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a decline in market value due to various factors including changes in interest rates. At ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, we held $5.9 million of auction rate securities. The interest rate for these notes will adjust to the current market interest rate at each interest reset date, which is typically on at least a monthly basis.

We had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement at April 30, 2006. As described in Note 4 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements, the interest rate under the revolving credit agreement is variable.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently have sales and marketing operations in several international locations including Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia. As a result, we have assets and liabilities outside the United States that are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to the nature of these operations, we currently utilize the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency for all international operations. Within Carretek LLC, our 51% owned subsidiary which offers financial institutions offshore-centric outsourcing of their business processes, the majority of the labor costs is denominated in Indian Rupees while the revenues from this operation are denominated in U.S. Dollars. As our operations increase, fluctuating labor costs may increase our foreign currency risk.

~~An insignificant portion~~Less than 10% of our accounts receivable balance at ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 ~~was~~includes amounts denominated in a foreign currency. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exposure; however, we do try to limit our foreign currency exposure by negotiating these foreign contracts in U.S. Dollars. In the future we may change this practice. We will continue to evaluate the need to adopt a hedge strategy in the future and may implement a formal strategy in future periods.

Foreign exchange gains were ~~$70,000~~$123,000 for the three months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006 and foreign exchange losses were ~~$17,000~~$84,000 in the three months ended ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2005. These gains/losses were primarily the result of software license, maintenance and services contracts denominated in the British Pound and the Euro.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules under the Exchange Act.

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2006. Based on their evaluation, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified, and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the evaluation described above, it was determined that as of January 31, 2006 we did not maintain effective controls over the preparation and review of our deferred software maintenance reconciliations. As a result of this material weakness, software maintenance revenue and deferred maintenance revenue were over and understated, respectively, by $2.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2004, and accumulated deficit and deferred maintenance revenue were over and understated, respectively, by $2.0 million for the year ended January 31, 2005. We restated our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 to correct these errors, which financial statements were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006.

Following identification of the material weakness described above, we took certain remediation steps more fully described below, and management believes that the implementation of these steps has remediated the identified material weakness.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has ~~again~~ evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). As of ~~April 30,~~July 31, 2006, they carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, and the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we are able to collect, process and disclose the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC within the required time periods.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As described above, as of January 31, 2006 our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In response to this material weakness, we established specific processes and controls and modified others to provide reasonable assurance that reconciliations are performed as a part of standardized procedures and reconciling items are properly identified and reported on a periodic basis. As a result of the implementation of these measures, management believes as of April 30, 2006 that this material weakness has been remediated. Except for the referenced remediation steps, thereThere have been no ~~other~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information with respect to certain legal proceedings set forth under “Contingencies” in Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements, is hereby incorporated by reference. Reference is also made to the information contained in Part I,II, Item 3.1. Legal Proceedings in our Form ~~10-K~~10-Q for the period ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2006.

Shareholder Derivative Suit.

In May 2006, the District Court approved the final settlement of the pending shareholder derivative suit and the litigation was terminated.

Shareholder Class Action.

~~The proposed settlement was preliminarily approved by~~There were no material developments in this case during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2006. On August 17, 2006, the District Court ~~on May 5, 2006, but remains subject to final court approval.~~entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice, concluding the litigation.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in our business, which are detailed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006 and summarized in this report under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K, except for the additional risk factor described below. These ~~risks and uncertainties~~risk factors may affect our current position and future prospects, and should be considered carefully in evaluating us and an investment in our common stock.

We are exploring a range of strategic alternatives that we may or may not pursue and that may yield unforeseen results.

On June 12, 2006, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized that we explore various strategic alternatives designed to increase our scale and capabilities in the marketplace. These strategic alternatives include, but are not limited to, a merger with a strategic partner, a sale of the company and other possible transactions. There can be no assurance that any particular strategic alternative will be pursued or that any transaction will occur, or on what terms. If we choose to continue to execute our operating plan instead of pursuing a strategic alternative, our stock price could decline. In addition, we may be unsuccessful in implementing an alternative that is chosen by our Board of Directors or we may implement an alternative that yields unexpected results. The process of continuing to review, and potentially executing, strategic alternatives is likely to be costly and time-consuming and may distract our management and otherwise disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
