ChoicePay, Inc
Notes to Audited Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
ChoicePay, Inc. (the Company) a majority-owned subsidiary of Tulsa National Bancshares, Inc. (the Parent Company) earns revenues predominately from electronic bill payment services. The Company's customer base is primarily utility companies throughout the midwest United States. The Company captures payments via the Internet, interactive voice response systems, kiosk machines and by interaction through its call center. Payments can be received in cash, checks, via credit cards or ACH transactions from which the Company earns a transaction fee. Payments are then remitted, net of a settlement fee with its customers.
During 2007, the Company changed its name to ChoicePay, Inc., and formerly operated under the name of e-Money Systems, Inc.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using the straight-line method. We depreciate fixed assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Computer equipment is typically depreciated over a two to five year period. Furniture and fixtures are typically depreciated over a three to seven year period. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated remaining life of the leasehold or the remaining term of the lease. Assets under capital lease obligations are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their respective estimated useful lives.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment
Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, such as a significant decrease in market value of the assets or a significant change in the business conditions. If management determines that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable based on expected undiscounted future cash flows, management records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Our long-term debt and capital lease obligations have interest rates that approximate current market rates; therefore the carrying value approximates fair value.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Share-Based Payment
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R—Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the award (typically three years) using the ratable method.
Preferred Stock
On November 20, 2006, the Company authorized and declared 70,000 shares of Series A 12% Preferred Stock at $0.0007 par value. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem its shares upon certain events, including change in control or termination of the Company at a redemption price equal to $100 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on preferred stock accrue at a rate of 12% annually. The claim is senior to common stockholders.
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, 57,430 shares had been issued and approximately $145,000 in dividends was accrued and unpaid.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the Company's services is recognized when transactions are processed on behalf of customers according to the service agreement entered into with customers.
New Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 157—Fair Value Measurements. In October 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157. This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurement of a company’s assets and liabilities. This standard also requires that the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and, generally, must be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-1—Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13. This FSP removes leasing transactions accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13—Accounting for Leases and its related guidance from SFAS 157. In February 2008, FASB also issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2—Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of Statement 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of these FSPs will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 159—The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159—The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or SFAS 159, which allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earning at each subsequent reporting date. The principle can be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is irrevocable and must be applied to the entire instrument. SFAS 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 160—Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160—Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, or SFAS 160, which requires companies to measure noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries at fair value and to classify them as a separate component of equity. SFAS 160 is effective as of each reporting fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008, and applies only to transactions occurring after the effective date. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 141(R)—Business Combinations. In December 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141(R)—Business Combinations, or SFAS 141(R), which will require companies to measure assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value. In addition, liabilities related to contingent consideration are to be re-measured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period. SFAS 141(R) will also require the acquirer in pre-acquisition periods to expense all acquisition-related costs. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is applicable only to transactions occurring after the effective date. The Company will adopt SFAS 141(R) beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 5: Profit-Sharing Plan
The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan covering substantially all employees. The Company's contributions to the plan are 50% of employees' elective deferral not to exceed 4% of pay, plus 25% of elective deferral over the initial 50% match, not to exceed a total of 6% of the pay of the employee. Contributions to the plan were approximately $67,000 for 2007.
Note 6: Employee Stock Option Plan
The Company's Employee Share Option Plan (the Plan), which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees for up to 304,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based over three years of continuous service (requisite period) and have seven-year contractual terms. Share awards generally vest over three years.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the S&P index and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Expected volatility | | | 10.58 | % |
Weighted-average volatility | | | 10.29 | % |
Expected dividends | | | — | |
Expected term (in years) | | | 5.24 | |
Risk-free rate | | | 3.63 | % |
