B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contained in this report reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our significant accounting policies include revenue recognition, software development costs, income taxes, acquisition accounting, and accounting for long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill. Please refer to our critical accounting policies as described in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for a more detailed description of these accounting policies.
Foreign Currency
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation. The Company’s functional currency, including operations in the United Kingdom, is the United States dollar. As such, settlement of foreign receivables or payables is recorded as gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and is included in other (expense) income in the statement of operations. The Company’s losses from foreign currency transactions amounted to $1,500 for the period ended March 31, 2008.
Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN No. 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 requires a company to evaluate all uncertain tax positions and
7
assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Adoption of FIN No. 48 resulted in an accrual of approximately $456,000 related to uncertain tax positions, which were previously accrued as contingent liabilities, thus there was no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
During 2007 the company identified two new uncertain tax positions and recorded an additional reserve for $249,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007 the company resolved one of the uncertain tax positions and reversed $145,000 previously accrued. Therefore, the Company’s accrual for uncertain tax positions totaled $560,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company has elected to classify interest associated with uncertain tax positions as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, penalties associated with uncertain tax positions will be classified as income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. There were no penalties and interest accrued as of January 1, 2007 or January 1, 2008. Additionally, no interest was accrued for the three months ending March 31, 2008. These uncertain tax positions, if recognized, would not have an effect on the effective tax rate.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for any returns before 2004. State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from 2001 to 2007.
Stock-Based Compensation
As of March 31, 2008, there was $2.3 million of total forfeiture adjusted unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.
Share-based compensation expense lowered pre-tax income by $167, 000 and $7,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted 757,500 common stock options. No stock options were issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2.43 and $0, respectively. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $1,195, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $19,706, respectively.
C. Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The Company has reclassified deposits as other non-current assets and certain cost of revenues from financial institution service fees to other products and services to better correlate with the Company’s revenue categories.

D. Acquisitions
Alogent Corporation
On January 17, 2008, the Company completed an acquisition by merger of Alogent Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $43.7 million. We paid to the shareholders and option holders of Alogent $32.8 million in cash, which was funded by the Company’s revolving line of credit, $2.8 million in shares of our common stock based on the stock price at the close of business on January 17, 2008, and $7.0 million in a promissory notes convertible into shares of our common stock. See Note K for a description of the convertible notes. The price for our common stock paid to the shareholders on the day of closing was $1.47 per share, which was the average closing price of our common stock over the 15 days ending on the day prior to the day of closing. For purchase price accounting reflected in the table below, the common shares were valued at $1.40 per share, calculated as the average closing price of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. shares for two days before and after the closing date. The operating results of Alogent are included with those of the Company beginning January 17, 2008. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

| | | |
The Company continues to evaluate and value the identifiable intangible assets and acquisition costs of Alogent. The above preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted based on the results of this analysis.
The acquisition of Alogent adds revenue derived primarily from license, services, and software maintenance derived from the Company’s Sierra Clearing, Sierra Xchange, and Sierra Xpedite products. License fees are derived from licensing the Company’s products and are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) exists to allocate revenue to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. When the implementation services provided by the Company are considered essential to the functionality of the software, license fees and revenue for implementation services are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract hours incurred to date to estimated total hours for the implementation services.
Financial institution services revenue is generally derived from implementing software applications under contractual agreements with terms ranging from six months to two years. These contracts include both fixed-price and time and materials arrangements. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract hours incurred to date to estimated total hours for each contract. Revenue derived from contracts to provide services on a time and materials basis is recognized as the related services are performed. Contract provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Contract costs include all direct and certain indirect costs (i.e., depreciation, rent, and communication costs). Reimbursable travel expenses are included in financial institution services revenue and cost of revenue in the statement of operations and are recognized when the related expenses are incurred.
Maintenance and support revenue include revenue derived from fixed-price arrangements. Under fixed price arrangements our standard terms are one year with annual renewal and generally provide for payment annually or quarterly in advance. Revenue from fixed-priced contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support agreement
The following Pro Forma results assume the inclusion of Alogent as if the acquisition was completed at the beginning of each period.

E. Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, which includes the additional dilution related to outstanding stock options as computed under the treasury stock method and the conversion of notes payable under the if-converted method.
The following table represents information necessary to calculate earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

H. Derivative Instrument
The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes; however, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate risk from the Company’s existing credit facility, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument as further described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. On January 31, 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate swap (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $20.0 million, receiving a one month LIBOR interest rate while paying a fixed rate of 2.95% over the period beginning February 8, 2008 and ending November 30, 2009. Interest is payable monthly, starting on March 10, 2008. The effect of the interest rate swap is to lock the interest rate on $20.0 million of one-month floating rate LIBOR debt at 2.95%. As of March 31, 2008 the interest rate swap had a market value equal to a loss of $235,000, which was recorded as an increase to interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“FAS 133”),Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The market value of the interest rate swap will rise and fall over the life of the swap as market expectations of future floating rate LIBOR interest rates over the life of the swap change in relation to the fixed rate of 2.95%.
I. Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157), as it applies to our financial instruments, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendmentofFASB Statement No. 115(SFAS 159). SFAS 157 defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 159 permits companies to irrevocably choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.
Under SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. SFAS 157 requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we have elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by SFAS 159. No events occurred during the first quarter 2008 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The following table provides information on those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Carrying Amount | | | | |
| | in Consolidated | | | | |
| | Balance Sheets | | Fair Value | | Fair Value Measurements Using |
| | March 31, 2008 | | March 31, 2008 | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |
Interest rate swap liability | | $ | 235,000 | | | $ | 235,000 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 235,000 | | | $ | — | |
We determine the fair value of the derivative instrument shown in the table above by using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs.
J. Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was comprised solely of net loss.
K. Debt and Commitments and Contingencies
We entered into the following contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2008;
| • | | Corporate office space lease amendment, which was executed by the Company on January 16, 2008 to extend the term of the lease agreement for 66 months to commence on the effective date of May 1, 2008 and terminate on October 31, 2013. The leased space shall be expanded from 14,522 square feet to 36,006 square feet. Thus, the amendment resulted in an approximately $140,000 increase in rent expense over the next twelve months. |
|
| • | | Convertible Notes of $7.0 million were executed by the Company and delivered to the Alogent shareholders on January 17, 2008 and have a 24 month term and a 7.0% annual interest rate payable quarterly in arrears. The principal under the convertible notes is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.50 per share. |
|
| • | | An installment payment agreement for the purchase of internal use software licenses for $462,000 was executed by the Company on March 21, 2008 and has a 36 month term and a 3.037% annual interest rate. |
On January 17, 2008 we amended the second amended and restated credit agreement to make certain changes to the Credit Agreement, including the following:
| • | | the revolving loan commitment was increased by $5.0 Million to $45.0 Million; |
|
| • | | the limit on annual capital expenditures was increased from $5.0 million to $7.0 million; |
|
| • | | two additional applicable interest rates were added to the pricing grid, with a minimum level of LIBOR plus 1.375%, and maximum level of LIBOR plus 3% (or base rate plus 0.50%), determined by the funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined); |
|
| • | | the funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined) was increased to 4.2 with a graduated step-down through 2008 to 3.0 for 2009 and beyond; |
|
| • | | a senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined) was added, beginning at 3.5 with a graduated step down to 3.0 for the fourth quarter of 2008 and beyond; and |
|
| • | | consent was given for the Alogent acquisition. |
We borrowed $32.0 million against the revolving loan commitment to fund the Alogent acquisition. The maturity date on the credit facility is November 30, 2009.

Overview
We provide a suite of technology-based products and services that assist financial institutions in their efforts to compete more effectively with larger regional and national financial institutions. We believe that community financial institutions, which have traditionally competed on personalized service, are facing increasing challenges to improve their operating efficiencies and grow their customer base. These challenges include:
| • | | the emergence of non-traditional competitors; |
|
| • | | the compression of margins on traditional products; |
|
| • | | the convergence of financial products into a single institution; and |
|
| • | | legislative changes accelerating the need for financial institutions to offer a wider range of products and services to their customers. |
We believe that these competitive pressures are particularly acute for financial institutions, which in many instances lack the substantial capital and specialized personnel to address their technology needs internally. Our solutions enable our clients to focus on their core competencies while we assist them in addressing their product and technology needs. We provide our solutions both on an outsourced and in-house basis.
The financial technology industry is currently characterized by significant acquisition activity, the introduction of new product and service offerings for financial institutions and an increased emphasis on security of customer data. We believe that these trends may result in greater opportunities for providers of financial technology.
Historically, we have generated our revenues primarily from participation fees, software licenses fees, maintenance fees and insurance brokerage fees derived from BusinessManager®, our accounts receivable financing solution, and from fees associated with our retail inventory management services product. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we derived approximately 25.9% of our consolidated revenues from BusinessManager® and approximately 10.3% of our consolidated revenues from retail inventory management services. We expect to continue to generate a substantial portion of our revenues from these sources during the remainder of 2008. In recent years, our revenues from BusinessManager® and retail inventory management services have declined from year-to-year, and this trend may continue. Partly as a result of the performance of our BusinessManager® and retail inventory management services businesses, in December 2005 we broadened our focus to providing a suite of solutions primarily to financial institutions. In connection with this shift in strategy we acquired the following companies during 2006:
| • | | P. T. C. , which added teller automation systems; and |
|
| • | | Goldleaf Technologies, which added ACH processing, remote capture processing, and website design and hosting. |
In 2007, we continued to broaden our product offerings with the acquisitions of:
| • | | Community Banking Systems, which added check imaging, report archival, and document imaging; and |
|
| • | | DataTrade, LLC, which added data conversion services, remote deposit, report management, interactive voice response, and checkscan. |
In January 2008, we further broadened our product offerings with the acquisition of Alogent Corporation, which added software licenses for the use of its technology-based software products, providing remote capture, teller capture and image exchange and services associated with maintenance and support and implementation of these products.

Revenues
We generate revenue from three main sources:
| • | | financial institution services; |
|
| • | | retail inventory management services; and |
|
| • | | other products and services. |
Financial Institution Services
Revenue from financial institution services includes:
| • | | deposit automation, remote capture, and processing fees; |
|
| • | | check imaging fees; |
|
| • | | ACH origination and processing fees; |
|
| • | | core data processing and image processing fees; |
|
| • | | software license and maintenance fees; |
|
| • | | professional services fees; |
|
| • | | participation fees and insurance brokerage fees; |
|
| • | | leasing revenues; |
|
| • | | website design and hosting fees; |
|
| • | | report archival fees; |
|
| • | | document imaging fees; |
|
| • | | data conversion services fees; |
|
| • | | report management fees; and |
|
| • | | voice response fees. |
ACH Origination and Processing, Remote Capture and Deposit Processing Fees.We license these products via up-front fees to financial institutions at the time of execution of the agreements, which are typically five-year contracts. We recognize these up-front fees when we complete customer implementation, which typically occurs within the first thirty days after contract execution. We also generate monthly fees for hosting services from each originator of ACH transactions, and we receive fees for each ACH transaction that occurs each month. We offer annual hosting and maintenance support to all of our financial institution clients for a fee that is generally equal to 16% to 20% of the up-front license fees.
Merchant and Branch Capture. With our acquisition of DataTrade, we also offer Merchant Capture as a remote deposit application that provides a bank’s commercial customers a means to capture check images, make electronic deposits, and improve treasury operations. Additionally, our remote deposit solutions provide banks with branch capture and a full function lockbox/remittance application. We license these products via up-front license fees as well as installation, testing, and training fees. We recognize these fees when installation is complete or as services are provided.
Core Data Processing and Image Processing Fees.We generate support and service fees from implementation services, from ongoing support services to assist the client in operating the systems and to enhance and update the software processing and from providing outsourced core data processing services. We derive revenues from outsourced item and core data processing services from monthly usage fees, typically under multi-year contracts with our clients.
Software License and Maintenance and Implementation Fees.We receive software license fees from the sale of software associated with our accounts receivable financing solutions and our core data processing solution. Software license fees for our accounts receivable financing solutions consist of two components: a license fee and a client training and support fee. We receive these one-time fees on the initial licensing of our program to a client financial institution. Our license agreements have terms ranging from three to five years and are renewable for subsequent terms. We generate annual software maintenance fees from our client financial institutions. We license our core data processing product under standard license agreements that typically provide the client with a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software. We generate annual software maintenance fees from our client financial institutions starting on the first anniversary of the core data processing license agreement and annually thereafter.
License fees are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is probable, and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) exists to allocate revenue to the undelivered elements of the arrangement. When the implementation services provided by the Company are considered essential to the functionality of the software, license fees and revenue for implementation services are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract hours incurred to date to estimated total hours for the implementation services.
Professional services revenue is generally derived from implementing software applications under contractual agreements with terms ranging from six months to two years. These contracts include both fixed-price and time and materials arrangements. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract hours incurred to date to estimated total hours for each contract. Contract provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which
13
such losses are determined. Contract costs include all direct and certain indirect costs (i.e., depreciation, rent, and communication costs). Revenue derived from contracts to provide services on a time and materials basis is recognized as the related services are performed. Reimbursable travel expenses are included in professional services revenue and cost of revenue in the statement of operations and are recognized when the related expenses are incurred.
Maintenance and support revenue include revenue derived from fixed-price arrangements. Under fixed price arrangements, terms range from one to three years and generally provide for payment annually or quarterly in advance. Revenue from fixed-priced contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support agreement.
Participation Fees, Insurance Brokerage Fees and Maintenance Fees from Our Accounts Receivable Financing Solution.We derive revenue from two types of participation fees. First, we earn a fee during the first 30 days after a client financial institution implements our solution and purchases accounts receivable from its small business customers. Second, we earn an ongoing participation fee from subsequent purchases of accounts receivable by the client. Both types of fees are based on a percentage of the accounts receivable that the client purchases during each month, with the second type of fee being a smaller percentage of the accounts receivable purchased. Insurance brokerage fees are derived from the sale of credit and fraud insurance products issued by a third-party national insurance company. We earn fees based on a percentage of the premium paid to the insurance company. We recognize these commission revenues when our financial institution clients purchase the accounts receivable covered by credit and fraud insurance policies.
Leasing Revenues.We offer equipment leasing services to our financial institutions customers and their clients. We have no credit risk exposure for these leases. Our leases fall into two categories: direct financing leases and operating leases. For direct financing leases, the investment in direct financing leases caption consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments due during the remaining term of the lease and unguaranteed residual value of the leased asset. We record the difference between this sum and the cost of the leased asset as unearned income. We amortize unearned income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. For leases classified as operating leases, we record the leased asset at cost and depreciate the leased asset. We record lease payments as rent income during the period earned.
Website Design and Hosting Fees.We offer website design and hosting services to financial institutions, although we do not host any confidential bank data on our servers. The revenues we generate for these services consist of up-front fees associated with the design and implementation of each website and monthly hosting fees for hosting each website in our data center.
Document Imaging.We offer document management products to help banks and corporations organize and archive masses of business information. Imaging software is offered as a network-based system for scalable document imaging, scanning, and storage solutions. We earn license fees from the sale of software as well as installation and training fees. These fees are recognized as revenue upon completion of the installation of the software. We also generate annual software maintenance fees upon the installation completion.
Data Conversion Services.We provide digital to digital conversion and migration services for document images, check images, computer reports (C.O.L.D) and data. We charge a fee per volume count of data to be converted. We recognize revenue for these services upon completion of the conversion and delivery of the converted data.
Report Management and Voice Response Services.Our report management software provides digital report storage and management solutions to banks and corporations to securely store and retrieve digital report information via network or web connectivity. Our voice response services offer customers 24/7 access to information on all types of accounts to initiate transactions, check on other products and services and receive statement and invoice information through simple touchtone or speech commands. Similar to our document imaging products, we earn license fees from the sale of software as well as installation, implementation, testing, and training fees. We generate annual software maintenance fees upon completion of the installation or as services are provided.
Retail Inventory Management Services
We generate retail inventory management services revenue from fees we charge primarily for providing inventory merchandising and forecasting information for specialty retail stores and ancillary services related to these products. We use proprietary software to process sales and inventory transactions and provide the merchandising forecasting information.
Other Products and Services
We generate revenues from scanner equipment and printer sales, charges for our deposit acquisition direct mail program, hardware used with our document imaging and report management products, sales of standard business forms used in our BusinessManager® program, and statement rendering and mailing.
Historically, we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from fees associated with our accounts receivable financing solutions and retail inventory management services. While we believe that our recent acquisitions and product diversification will enable us to derive revenues from a broader mix of products and services, we anticipate that revenues derived from our accounts receivable solutions and inventory management services will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenues in 2008.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased 47.1% to $19.2 million as compared to $13.0 million for the comparable period of 2007.
Financial Institution Services.Financial institution services increased 62.5% to $16.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to $10.2 million for the comparable period ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to $5.4 million revenues generated for products acquired through the acquisition of Alogent. The increase is also attributable to the acquisition of CBS and DataTrade products that resulted in a $1.5 million increase in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2007. Remote Deposit sales increased $0.4 million primarily due to a significant increase in remote deposit transaction fees. These increases were offset by decreases in financial lending revenues of $0.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to declining funding volume with our Business Manager product. As a percentage of total revenues, financial institution services revenues accounted for 86.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 78.3% for the period ended March 31, 2007. Our BusinessManager® product represented 25.9% of total revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 42.0% for the prior year period.
Retail Inventory Management Services.Retail inventory management services (“RMSA”) revenues totaled approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of total revenues, retail inventory management services accounted for 10.3% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 15.7% for the comparable period of 2007.
Other Products and Services.Revenues from other products and services decreased 22.5% to $604,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $779,000 for the comparable periods of 2007. Other products and services include the sale of equipment associated with our remote capture and ACH products and hardware for our report management, merchant and branch capture, and imaging software products. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the decrease in revenue is due to a decline in scanner equipment sales. Revenues from other products and services accounted for 3.1% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 6.0% for the comparable period of 2007.
Cost of Revenues — financial institution services.Cost of revenues for financial institution services increased $2.0 million to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period of 2007. Of this increase, $1.6 million relates to the acquisition of Alogent and $255,000 relate to the acquisition of CBS and DataTrade. Additionally, costs associated with our electronic processing product increased by approximately $189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues for financial institution services increased to 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 13.7% for the comparable period of 2007, due to the acquisition of Alogent.
Cost of Revenues — retail inventory management services.Cost of revenues related to retail inventory management services totaled $220,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $209,000 for the comparable period of 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower salary and benefit expenses as a result of reduced headcount as compared to the prior period. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of sales for retail inventory management services was 1.1% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 1.6% for the comparable period of 2007.
15
Cost of Revenues — other products and services.Cost of revenues related to other products and services decreased 34.2% to $430,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $653,000 for the comparable period of 2007. The decline for the three month period is primarily related to reduced scanner sales. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues for other products and services decreased to 2.2% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 5.0% for the comparable period of 2007.
General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses increased 14.8% to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period of 2007. General and administrative expenses include the cost of our executive, finance, human resources, information and support services, administrative functions and general operations. Of the increase, $0.4 million is attributable to the increased legal, consulting services and salary expense related to employees acquired through the acquisition of Alogent and the annual salary increases. Additionally, the remaining increase of $0.4 million is due to the executive bonuses paid as a result of completing the successful acquisition of Alogent. For the period ended March 31, 2007 the total general and administrative expense included a severance charge of $557,000 for the former president of GTI. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 32.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 41.9% for the comparable period of 2007.
Selling and Marketing.Selling and marketing expenses increased 21.1% to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period of 2007. Selling and marketing expenses include cost of wages and commissions paid to our sales force, travel costs of the sales force, recruiting for new sales and marketing personnel and marketing fees associated with direct and telemarketing programs. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million related to the addition of Alogent selling and marketing salary and commission expenses. Additionally, the increase is attributable to an increase in BusinessManager® commissions as a result of an additional incentive program to increase BusinessManager® funding volumes. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and marketing expenses were 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 34.5% for the comparable period of 2007.
Research and Development.Research and development expenses increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $455,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Research and development expenses include the non-capitalizable direct costs associated with developing new versions of our software, as well as other software development projects that, in accordance with GAAP, we do not capitalize. The increase was primarily due to the addition of DataTrade and Alogent research and development salaries, benefits, bonus expenses and consulting services, as well as an in process research and development write-off of $448,000. As a percentage of total revenues, research and development expenses increased to 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Amortization.Amortization expense increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. These expenses include the expense associated with amortizing intangible assets recorded in connection with our acquisition of CBS, DataTrade and Alogent. The increase for the three month period is primarily due to intangibles for the Alogent acquisition in January 2008 as part of the Company’s purchase price analysis. As a percentage of total revenues, amortization expense increased to 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Other Operating Expense, Net.Other operating expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $17,000 compared to $5,000 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2007.
Operating Income (Loss).As a result of the above factors, the Company generated operating income of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31,2 007. As a percentage of total revenue operating income was 0.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to (4.1)% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Interest Expense, Net.Interest expense, net, increased to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily due to an increase in average debt outstanding in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. Our average debt outstanding for the first three months of 2008 was approximately $49.0 million compared to approximately $3.3 million for the first three months of 2007. The increase in debt is primarily due to the use of proceeds from the revolving line of credit to fund acquisitions. Additionally the increase is due to the interest rate swap entered into by the Company on January 31, 2008. The Company incurred $235,000 of interest expense related to the interest rate swap agreement. For the first quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense included approximately $44,000 and $29,000 of debt issuance cost amortization, respectively.
Income Tax Benefit.We had an income tax benefit of approximately $389,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to a benefit of $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 43.2% in 2008 as compared to 38.5% in 2007.
As of January 1, 2008 we had a net deferred tax asset of $3,452,000. As a result of the acquisition of Alogent Corporation, we recorded a deferred tax liability of $4,218,000. As a result of the acquisition and normal operations for the quarter we had a net deferred tax liability of $376,000 as of March 31, 2008. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008 we had a deferred tax benefit of $390,000.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management has based this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates on a periodic basis.
A “critical accounting policy” is one that is both important to the understanding of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Please refer to our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2007 for a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth the elements of our cash flow statements for the following periods:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended |
| | March 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | 4,842 | | | $ | (981 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (34,286 | ) | | | (5,271 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 30,771 | | | | 1,301 | |
Cash from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaling $4.8 million was primarily attributable to our operating results plus non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $1.8 million, the change in prepaid and other current assets of $0.6 million, accounts payable of $0.4 million, accrued liabilities of $1.5 million, and deferred revenue of $0.7 million, offset by changes in inventory of $0.3 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2008.
Cash from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $34.3 million, which consisted primarily of the Alogent business acquisition, purchases of fixed assets, and expenditures for software development costs. Total capital expenditures, including software development costs, totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These expenditures primarily related to the purchase of computer equipment, computer software, and software development activities. During the first three months of 2008, we used approximately $33.0 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire Alogent. For the first three months of 2007, total cash used in investing activities was $5.3 million consisting primarily of business acquisitions, lease receivable collections, purchases of fixed assets and capitalization of software development costs.
Cash from Financing Activities
Cash from financing activities primarily relates to borrowings from our credit facility and repayments of non-recourse lease financing notes payable. During the first three months of 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $30.8 million and was attributable primarily to net borrowings of $31.0 million from our amended and restated syndicated credit facility, offset by $0.5 million in repayments on non-recourse lease notes payable. For the first three months of 2007, cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.3 million, and was attributable primarily to new borrowings of $2.0 million from our amended and restated syndicated credit facility.
Analysis of Changes in Working Capital
As of March 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $(0.7) million compared to working capital of approximately $3.0 million as of December 31, 2007. The change in working capital resulted primarily from an increase in cash of $1.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $6.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million accounts payable, an increase of $3.5 million accrued liabilities, and an increase of $6.8 million deferred revenue. The increases were primarily the result of completing the acquisition in January 2008.
We believe that the existing, non-restricted cash, future operating cash flows, and availability from our amended and restated syndicated credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. Furthermore, we expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of our syndicated credit facility throughout 2008. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations or that we will remain in compliance with the new covenants. Non-compliance with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on our operating and financial results.
In the future, we may acquire businesses or products that are complementary to our business, although we cannot be certain that we will make any acquisitions. The need for cash to finance additional working capital or to make acquisitions may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing. We cannot be certain that financing will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that our need for higher levels of working capital will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Credit Agreement
We are party to a second amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Wachovia Bank, N.A., and The People’s Bank of Winder, dated November 30, 2006, which amended and restated in its entirety the amended and restated credit agreement originally dated January 19, 2004, as amended and restated on January 23, 2006 and as further amended on February 17, 2006, April 5, 2006, May 3, 2006, June 15, 2006, and August 31, 2006.
This syndicated credit facility contains financial covenants, including the maintenance of financial ratios and limits on capital expenditures. We are required to maintain on a quarterly basis a ratio of funded debt (as defined in the credit agreement and generally including all liabilities for borrowed money) to EBITDA as defined in the debt agreement. We are required to maintain on a quarterly basis a ratio of funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 3:1. This ratio is calculated (a) at the end of each fiscal quarter, using the results of the twelve-month period ending with the fiscal quarter and after giving pro forma effect, as defined in the debt agreement, to any acquisition made during such period and (b) on the date of any borrowing under the credit facility, using EBITDA for the most recent period and funded debt after giving pro forma effect to such borrowing. We are also required to maintain for the 12-calendar month period ending on the last day of each calendar quarter, a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined) of 2:1. In addition, we may not acquire fixed assets (other than any equipment purchased by KVI Capital with proceeds of non-recourse loans) having a value greater than $5.0 million during any 12-month period ending with each fiscal quarter. The credit agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including but not limited to a prohibition on declaring and paying any cash dividends on any class of stock.
On January 17, 2008 we amended the second amended and restated credit agreement to make certain changes to the Credit Agreement, including the following:
| • | | the revolving loan commitment was increased by $5.0 Million to $45.0 Million; |
|
| • | | the limit on annual capital expenditures was increased from $5.0 million to $7.0 million; |
|
| • | | two additional applicable interest rates were added to the pricing grid, with a minimum level of LIBOR plus 1.375%, and maximum level of LIBOR plus 3% (or base rate plus 0.50%), determined by the funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined); |
|
| • | | the funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined) was increased to 4.2 with a graduated step-down through 2008 to 3.0 for 2009 and beyond; |
|
| • | | a senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined) was added, beginning at 3.5 with a graduated step down to 3.0 for the fourth quarter of 2008 and beyond; and |
|
| • | | consent was given for the Alogent acquisition. |
We borrowed $32.0 million against the revolving loan commitment to fund the Alogent acquisition. The maturity date on the credit facility is November 30, 2009.
On January 30, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America in the notional amount of $20.0 million. The swap expires on November 30, 2009. Under the swap, the Company and Bank of America have agreed to exchange interest payments on the notional amount. We have agreed to pay a fixed interest rate of 2.95%, and Bank of America has agreed to pay a floating interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due on March 8, 2008 for both parties. We entered into the swap in order to mitigate risk associated with the floating interest rate paid by the Company under the credit agreement.
As of March 31,2008, we were in compliance with all restrictive financial and non-financial covenants contained in the syndicated credit facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2008 and as of the date of this report, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the required provisions of SFAS 157 that became effective in our first quarter of 2008. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our Consolidated Financial Statements for items within the scope of FSP 157-2, which will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009.
SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”), which allows entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 became effective beginning with our first quarter of 2008. The Company adopted the required provisions of SFAS 159 that became effective in our first quarter of 2008. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the recognition and accounting for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in business combinations. SFAS 141(R) also establishes expanded disclosure requirements for business combinations. SFAS 141(R) will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
SFAS No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures for derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Seasonality
Historically, we have generally realized lower revenues and income in the first quarter and, to a lesser extent, in the second quarter of each year. We believe that this seasonal decline in revenues is shifting to the second quarter, and to a lesser extent the third quarter. This shift is a result of a change in our product offering mix. Therefore, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that you should not rely on that comparison as an indicator of our future performance. Due to the relatively fixed nature of costs such as personnel, facilities and equipment costs, a revenue decline in a quarter will typically result in lower profitability for that quarter.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that inflation will not affect our business in the future.
20
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing and cash management activities. The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes; however, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company entered into a derivative financial instrument. On January 31, 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $20.0 million. The swap expires on November 30, 2009.
Additionally, our exposure relates to our borrowings under our amended and restated syndicated credit facility, which accrues interest at LIBOR plus 1.375 basis points or the lender’s base rate (as defined), as we select. We are currently paying interest at an average rate of 6.2% per annum on the Revolver. As of March 31, 2008, $41.0 million was outstanding under this facility. Changes in interest rates that increase the interest rate on the credit facility would make it more costly to borrow under that facility and may impede our acquisition and growth strategies if we determine that the costs associated with borrowing funds are too high to implement those strategies. An increase or decrease of 1.0% in the interest rate on the syndicated credit facility would increase or decrease, respectively, our interest expense by approximately $410,000 per year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Goldleaf, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive and financial officers have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In making this determination, management considered the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, except for the implementation of measures described below under “Remediation of Material Weaknesses.”
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
The Company has implemented, or plans to implement, the following measures in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses in its tax and financial reporting functions due to a lack of sufficient accounting resources originally identified in the Company’s 2007 annual report on Form 10-K:
| • | | In December of 2007, we hired Dan Owens as Senior Vice President of Finance. Along with acting Chief Financial Officer Scott Meyerhoff, Mr. Owens will oversee our efforts to ensure the effectiveness of our financial reporting functions; |
|
| • | | We have hired additional senior accounting staff and an internal tax professional, and we retained the former CFO of Alogent as a vice-president of finance; |
|
| • | | We are enhancing review procedures in our financial reporting and income tax accounting functions; |
|
| • | | We are assessing our internal control structure and implementing new controls; and |
|
| • | | We are undergoing a comprehensive evaluation of our organizational structure and processes. |
The Company notes that these remediation actions represent ongoing improvement measures. Furthermore, while the Company has taken steps to remediate the material weaknesses, these steps may not be adequate to fully remediate those weaknesses, and additional measures may be required.

Part II Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors
RISK FACTORS
This section summarizes certain risks, among others, that shareholders and prospective investors should consider. Many of these risks are discussed in other sections of this report. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks of which we are presently unaware or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations and hinder our financial performance.
Risks Related to Our Business
We generate a significant amount of our revenues from our accounts receivable financing solution and our retail inventory management services, and those revenues have declined in recent years. If these trends continue, our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.
For the period ended March 31, 2008, we derived approximately 25.9% of our consolidated revenues from participation fees, license fees, insurance brokerage fees, and maintenance fees from BusinessManager® ,our accounts receivable financing solution, and approximately 10.3% of our consolidated revenues from fees generated by RMSA, our retail inventory management services product. We expect to continue to generate a substantial portion of our revenues from BusinessManager® and RMSA during 2008. In recent years, our revenues from BusinessManager® declined from year-to-year. If our annual revenues from BusinessManager® continue to decline or begin to decline more rapidly, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues from our other products or services to offset that decline. In addition, we cannot be certain that we will be able to continue to successfully market and sell BusinessManager® to both financial institutions and their small business customers or successfully market. Our failure to do so, or any events that adversely affect BusinessManager®, would materially and adversely affect our overall business.
The loss of our chief executive officer or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Lynn Boggs, our chief executive officer, has substantial experience in our industry. Although we maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Boggs and we have an employment agreement with him, our client and marketing relationships would likely be impaired and our business would likely suffer if, for any reason, we lost the services of Mr. Boggs. In addition, we believe that our success depends on the continued contribution of a number of our other executive officers or key employees. The loss of services of any of these individuals would similarly adversely affect our business. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced employee turnover in the position of chief financial officer, which contributed to the material weakness in our internal controls disclosed in the 2007 annual report. There is no guarantee that this turnover will not affect our operations and results, particularly if we continue to have instability at this position.
Acquisitions could result in integration difficulties, unexpected expenses, diversion of management’s attention and other negative consequences.
Our growth strategy is partly based on making acquisitions. We plan to continue to acquire complementary businesses, products and services. We must integrate the technology, products and services, operations, systems and personnel of acquired businesses, including our recent acquisitions, with our own and attempt to grow the acquired businesses as part of our Company. The integration of other businesses is a complex process and places significant demands on our management, financial, technical and other resources. The successful integration of businesses we acquire is critical to our future success, and if we are unsuccessful in integrating these businesses, our financial and operating performance could suffer. The risks and challenges associated with acquisitions include:
| • | | the inability to retain and motivate key employees of an acquired company; |
|
| • | | our entrance into markets in which we have little or no prior direct experience; |
|
| • | | the inability to prepare and file with the SEC in a timely manner the required financial statements of any businesses we acquire; |
|
| • | | litigation, indemnification claims and other unforeseen claims and liabilities that may arise from the acquisition or operation of acquired businesses; |
|
| • | | the costs necessary to complete integration exceeding our expectations or outweighing some of the intended benefits of the acquisitions we close; |
|
| • | | the inability to maintain the client relationships of an acquired business; |
|
| • | | the costs necessary to improve or replace the operating systems, products and services of acquired businesses exceeding our expectations; |
|
| • | | the inability to centralize and consolidate our financial, operational and administrative functions with those of the businesses we acquire; and |
|
| • | | our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns. |
We may be unable to integrate our acquisitions with our operations on schedule or at all. We cannot assure you that we will not incur large accounting charges or other expenses in connection with any of our acquisitions or that our acquisitions will result in cost savings or sufficient revenues or earnings to justify our investment in, or our expenses related to, these acquisitions. We may acquire companies that have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting, which may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, cause our financial statements to contain material misstatements and harm our business and operating results.
If we are unable to successfully integrate the business operations of companies we acquire in the future into our business operations, we will not realize the anticipated potential benefits from these acquisitions and our business could be adversely affected.
Any future acquisitions we complete will involve the integration of companies that have previously operated independently and may be in markets that are new to us. Successful integration of future acquired businesses with ours entails numerous challenges and will depend on our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures, eliminate redundancies and reduce costs. If we are unable to do so, we will not realize any anticipated potential benefits of the acquisitions, and our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
22
If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, we review our amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include a decline in stock price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow estimates, and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.
Because our business involves the electronic storage and transmission of data, security breaches and computer viruses could expose us to litigation and adversely affect our reputation and revenue.
Our online transaction processing systems electronically store and transmit sensitive business information of our clients. The difficulty of securely storing confidential information electronically has been a significant issue in conducting electronic transactions. We may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches and computer viruses, or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches or viruses. To the extent that our activities or the activities of our clients involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, security breaches and viruses could expose us to claims, litigation and other possible liabilities. Any inability to prevent security breaches or computer viruses could also cause existing clients to lose confidence in our systems and could inhibit our ability to attract new clients.
If we experience losses, we could experience difficulty meeting our business plan and our stock price could decline.
We may not be able to maintain our financial performance as we implement our business plan. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. If our revenues decline or grow slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations and cannot be adjusted accordingly, our business operations and financial results will suffer. We anticipate that we will incur significant product development, administrative, and sales and marketing expenses. In light of these expenses, any failure to increase revenues significantly may also harm our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.
If we are unable to maintain or grow our business, our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
In recent years, revenues generated by our accounts receivable financing solution and retail inventory management products and services have declined. We cannot guarantee that our revenues will not continue to decline. If we are unable to grow our business and revenues, our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
If we are unable to manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Any new sustained growth will place a significant strain on our management systems and operational resources. We anticipate that new sustained growth, if any, will require us to recruit, hire and retain new managerial, finance, sales, marketing and support personnel. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in recruiting, hiring or retaining those personnel. Our ability to compete effectively and to manage our future growth, if any, will depend on our ability to maintain and improve operational, financial and management information systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. If we begin to grow, we cannot be certain that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations.
Our business significantly depends on a productive sales force, and our sales force has experienced management and employee turnover in recent years. If these problems recur, we may not be able to achieve our sales plans or maintain our current level of sales.
An important part of our sales strategy is to attract, hire and retain qualified sales and marketing personnel to maintain and expand our marketing capabilities. Because competition for experienced sales and marketing personnel is intense, we cannot be certain that we will be able to attract and retain enough qualified sales and marketing personnel or that those we do hire will be able to generate new business at the rate we currently expect. In recent years, we have experienced a significant amount of turnover in the management and personnel of our sales force, which we believe has been a factor in our declining revenues from our accounts receivable financing and retail inventory management products. If we are unable to hire and retain enough qualified sales and marketing personnel, or those we hire are not as productive as we expect, we may not be able to achieve our sales plans or maintain our current level of sales.
Because we have a long sales and implementation cycle for some of our solutions, we face the risk of not closing sales after expending significant resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We must expend substantial time, effort and money educating potential clients about the value of some of our solutions, particularly our core data processing solution. We may expend significant funds and management resources during the sales cycle and ultimately fail to generate any revenues. For our core data processing solution, our sales cycle generally ranges between six to nine months, and our implementation cycle generally ranges between six to nine additional months. Many of our other products require similarly long sales and implementation cycles. Our sales cycle for all of our products and services is subject to significant risks and delays over which we have little or no control, including:
| • | | our clients’ budgetary constraints; |
|
| • | | the timing of our clients’ budget cycles and approval processes; |
|
| • | | our clients’ willingness to replace their current vendors; |
|
| • | | the success and continued support of our strategic marketing partners’ sales efforts; and |
|
| • | | the timing and expiration of our clients’ current license agreements or outsourcing agreements for similar services. |
If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant funds and management resources or if we experience delays as discussed above, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
23
Competition, restrictions under our credit facility, market conditions and other factors may impede our ability to acquire other businesses and may inhibit our growth.
We anticipate that we may derive a portion of our future growth through acquisitions. The success of this strategy depends on our ability to:
| • | | identify suitable acquisition candidates; |
|
| • | | reach agreements to acquire these companies; |
|
| • | | obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms; and |
|
| • | | successfully integrate the operations of these businesses. |
We may not be able to enter into and successfully implement strategic alliances, which could limit our ability to grow our business as we intend.
One element of our growth strategy is to evaluate and pursue strategic alliances that are complementary to our business. However, we may not be able to identify or negotiate strategic alliances on acceptable terms. If we are not able to establish and maintain strategic alliances, we may not be able to fully implement our growth strategy. In addition, pursuing and implementing strategic alliances may cause a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may be unable to market our products and services successfully to new client financial institutions or to retain current client financial institutions. If we are unable to do so, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
Our success depends to a large degree on our ability to persuade prospective client financial institutions to use our products. Failure to maintain market acceptance, retain clients or successfully expand the products and services we offer could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We have spent, and will continue to spend, considerable resources educating potential clients about our products and services. Even with these educational efforts, however, we may be unable to grow or maintain market acceptance of our products and services or retain our clients. In addition, as we continue to offer new products and expand our services, existing and potential client financial institutions or their small business customers may be unwilling to accept the new products or services.
The failure to execute our growth plans may affect our ability to remain a publicly traded company.
We intend to grow organically and through acquisitions and strategic alliances. These growth plans will require a substantial expenditure of time, money and other valuable resources. Not only does this take resources away from our current business, but we face the risk that our strategy will not ultimately be successful. In that event, the continued costs associated with being a public company may outweigh the anticipated organic growth of our current business, which could result in our being delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market or engaging in a going private transaction.
Our plans to expand the number of products and services we offer may not be successful and may lower our overall profit margin.
Part of our business strategy is to expand our offering of products and services. We believe that we can provide these new services profitably, but they may generate a lower profit margin than our current products and services. As a result, by offering additional products and services, we may lower our overall profit margin. Although gross revenues would likely increase, the lowering of our profit margin may be viewed negatively by the stock market, possibly resulting in a reduction in our stock price.
We may be unable to compete in our markets, which could cause us not to achieve our growth plans and materially and adversely affect our financial performance.
The market for community financial institutions and small business financial services is highly competitive. We face primary competition from a number of companies that offer to financial institutions products and services that are similar to ours, and many of these competitors are much larger and have more resources than we do. Community financial institution clients that offer BusinessManager®, our accounts receivable financing solution, compete with other financial institutions and financing providers that offer lines of credit, amortizing loans, factoring and other traditional types of financing to small businesses. Many of these other financial institutions and financing providers are much larger and more established than we are, have significantly greater resources, generate more revenues and have greater name recognition. In addition, as we expand our service offerings, we may begin competing against companies with whom we have not previously competed. Increased competition may result in price reductions, lower profit margins and loss of our market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Both our traditional and new competitors may develop products and services comparable or superior to those that we have developed or adapt more quickly to new technologies, evolving industry trends or changing small business requirements.
We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately, which may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, our prospects for future growth and our overall business.
Our success depends largely upon our ability to protect our current and future proprietary technology through a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws. Although we assess the advisability of patenting any technological development, we have historically relied on copyright and trade secret law, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, to protect our intellectual property rights. The protection afforded by these means may not be as complete as patent protection. We cannot be certain that we have taken adequate steps to deter misappropriation or independent development of our technology by others. Although we are not currently subject to any dispute regarding our proprietary technology, any claims of that nature brought or resolved against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The Company depends on proprietary technology licensed from third parties; if the Company loses these licenses, it could delay shipments of products incorporating this technology and could be costly.
The Company’s products use some of the technology that it licenses from third parties, generally on a nonexclusive basis. The Company believes that there are alternative sources for each of the material components of technology it licenses from third parties. However, the termination of any of these licenses, or the failure of the third-party licensors to adequately maintain or update their products, could delay the Company’s ability to ship these products while it seeks to implement technology offered by alternative sources. Any required replacement licenses could prove costly. Also, any delay, to the extent it becomes extended or occurs at or near
24
the end of a fiscal quarter, could harm the Company’s quarterly results of operations. While it may be necessary or desirable in the future to obtain other licenses relating to one or more of the Company’s products or relating to current or future technologies, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
If our products or services are found to infringe the proprietary rights of others, we may be required to change our business practices and may also become subject to significant costs and monetary penalties.
Others may claim that our proprietary technology infringes their intellectual property. Any claims of that nature, whether with or without merit, could:
| • | | be expensive and time-consuming to defend; |
|
| • | | cause us to cease making, licensing or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; |
|
| • | | divert our management’s attention and resources; and |
|
| • | | require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements to obtain the right to use necessary technologies. |
Others may assert infringement claims against us in the future with respect to our current or future products and services. In that event, we cannot be certain that those claims will be resolved in our favor. Although we are not currently engaged in any dispute of that nature, any infringement claims resolved against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The failure of our network infrastructure and equipment could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Failure of our network infrastructure and equipment, as well as the occurrence of significant human error, a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems, could halt our services, damage network equipment and result in substantial expense to repair or replace damaged equipment. In addition, the failure of our telecommunication providers to supply necessary services to us could also interrupt our business, particularly the application hosting and transaction processing services we offer to our client financial institutions via secure Internet connections. The inability to supply these services to our clients could negatively affect our business, reputation, operating results and financial condition. Currently, we have only one core data and two item processing centers. Interruption in our processing or communications services could delay transfers of our clients’ data, or damage or destroy the data. Any of these occurrences could result in lawsuits or loss of clients and may also harm our reputation.
We rely on the technological infrastructure of our client financial institutions and their individual customers, and any failure of that infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and our business.
The success of the products and services we offer depends, to a degree, on the technological infrastructure and equipment of our client financial institutions and their small business customers. We provide application hosting and transaction processing services to our clients that require some level of integration with the client’s technological infrastructure. Proper technical integration between our clients and us is critical to our being able to provide the services we have agreed to provide. A failure of a client’s infrastructure for any reason could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results.
Increased fraud committed by small businesses and increased uncollectible accounts of small businesses may adversely affect our accounts receivable financing business.
Small business customers of our financial institution clients sometimes fraudulently submit artificial receivables to our clients. In addition, small business customers may keep cash payments that their consumers mistakenly send to them instead of our financial institution clients. Our clients are also susceptible to uncollectible accounts from their small business customers. Many of our clients purchase insurance through us to insure against some of these risks. If the number and amount of fraudulent or bad debt claims increase, our clients may decide to reduce or terminate their use of our accounts receivable financing products and services, reducing our ability to attract and retain revenue-producing clients and to cross-sell our other products and services to them. Further, our insurance carrier providing coverage for the insurance products may increase rates or cancel coverage, reducing our ability to produce revenue and reducing our margins on that business.
We could be sued for contract or product liability claims that exceed our available insurance coverage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failures in the products and services we provide could result in an increase in service and warranty costs or a claim for substantial damages against us. We can give no assurance that the limitations of liability in our contracts would be enforceable or would otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors and omissions in excess of the applicable deductible amount. We can give no assurance that this coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or coinsurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial cost to us and divert management’s attention from our operations. Any contract liability claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because some of our products and services affect the core business processes of our community financial institution clients, a failure or inability to meet a client’s expectations could seriously damage our reputation and negatively affect our ability to attract new business.
We may not have adequate capital to support our planned growth, which could significantly impair our ability to add new products or services.
A significant part of our growth plans rests on the development of new products, strategic acquisitions and the formation of strategic alliances for our primary products. To execute our growth plans as we intend, we may need additional capital. Market conditions when we need this capital may preclude access to new capital of any kind or to capital on terms acceptable to us. Any of these developments could significantly hinder our ability to add new products or services, pursue strategic acquisitions or enter into strategic alliances.
If our products and services contain errors, we may lose clients and revenues and be subject to claims for damages.
25
Our new products and services, and enhancements to our existing products and services, may have undetected errors or failures, despite testing by our current and potential clients and by us. If we discover errors after we have introduced a new or updated product to the marketplace, we could experience, among other things:
• delayed or lost revenues while we correct the errors;
• a loss of clients or the delay or failure to achieve market acceptance; and
• additional and unexpected expenses to fund further product development.
Our agreements with our clients generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, such as disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability for special, consequential and incidental damages. These provisions may not be effective because of existing or future federal, state or local laws or ordinances, or unfavorable judicial decisions. If our products and services fail to function properly, we could be subject to product liability claims, which could result in increased litigation expense, damage awards and harm to our business reputation.
Technological changes may reduce the demand for our products and services or render them obsolete, which would reduce our revenue and income.
The introduction of new technologies and financial products and services can render existing technology products and services obsolete. We expect other vendors to introduce new products and services, as well as enhancements to their existing products and services, which will compete with our current products and services. To be successful, we must anticipate evolving industry trends, continue to apply advances in technology, enhance our existing products and services and develop or acquire new products and services to meet the demands of our clients. We may not be successful in developing, acquiring or marketing new or enhanced products or services that respond to technological change or evolving client needs. We may also incur substantial costs in developing and employing new technologies. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies, we could lose clients and revenues, and fail to attract new clients or otherwise realize the benefits of costs we incur.
Examination of our business by regulatory agencies could cause us to incur significant expenses, and failure to remedy any identified deficiency would adversely affect our business.
We are subject to federal and state examination under the authority of the Bank Service Company Act and must comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other laws and regulations that apply to depository and financial institutions. Bank regulators have broad supervisory authority to require the correction of any deficiencies or other negative findings identified in any such examination. Efforts to correct any deficiency or to otherwise comply with existing regulations could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources. The failure to adequately correct any deficiency or to comply with existing regulations could result in the imposition of monetary penalties or prevent us from offering one of our products or services to some our clients and could have a substantial negative effect on our business and operations.
Governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect us by making it more costly and burdensome to conduct our business or operations.
Federal, state or foreign authorities could adopt new laws, rules or regulations relating to the financial services industry and the protection of consumer personal information belonging to financial institutions that affect our business. Those laws and regulations may address issues such as end-user privacy, pricing, content, characteristics, taxation and quality of services and products. Adoption of these laws, rules or regulations could render our business or operations more costly and burdensome and could require us to modify our current or future products or services.
Risks Related to Our Industry
We depend heavily on a single industry and any downturn in that industry would materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
We sell our financial institution products and services almost exclusively to financial institutions, primarily community financial institutions. As a result, any events that adversely affect the industry in general and community financial institutions in particular, such as changed or expanded financial institution regulations, could adversely affect us and our operations. A downturn in this industry would have a substantial negative effect on our business and operations. Cyclical fluctuations in economic conditions affect the profitability and revenue growth of financial institutions that use our products and services. As a result, unfavorable economic conditions that negatively impact the results of operations of financial institutions, such as losses from sub-prime mortgages, could negatively impact spending of current and potential clients, and sales to new clients and upgrades or complementary product sales to existing clients could be negatively affected. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Financial institutions are subject to industry consolidation, and we may lose clients with little notice, which could adversely affect our revenues.
The financial institution industry is prone to consolidations that result from mergers and acquisitions. Other financial institutions that do not use our products and services may acquire our existing clients and then convert them to competing products and services. Most of our contracts provide for a charge to the client for early termination of the contract without cause, but these charges are insufficient to replace the recurring revenues that we would have received if the financial institution had continued as a client.
The banking industry is highly regulated, and changes in banking regulations could negatively affect our business.
Our financial institution clients are subject to the supervision of several federal, state and local government regulatory agencies, and we must continually ensure that our products and services work within the extensive and evolving regulatory requirements applicable to our financial institution clients. Regulation of financial institutions, especially with respect to accounts receivable services such as BusinessManager®, can indirectly affect our business. While the use of our products by financial institutions is either not subject to, or is currently in compliance with, banking regulations, a change in regulations or the creation of new regulations on financial institutions, including modifying a financial institution’s ability to offer products and services similar to ours, could prevent or lessen the use of our products and services by financial institutions, which would have a substantial negative effect on our business and operations.
Risks of Owning Our Common Stock
Our stock price is volatile and any investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.
The market price of our common stock has been subject to significant fluctuations and may continue to be volatile in response to:
• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly revenues, operating results and profitability;
• changes in financial estimates by us or by a securities analyst who covers our stock;
26
• publication of research reports about our company or industry;
• conditions or trends in our industry;
• stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly-traded companies and, in particular, those whose businesses involve technology products and services for financial institutions;
• announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations, new services, service enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, strategic partnerships, divestitures, technological innovations, new services or service enhancements;
• announcements of investigations or regulatory scrutiny of our operations or lawsuits filed against us;
• the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us, our clients or our industry;
• additions or departures of key personnel; and
• general economic conditions.
We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful. We can provide no assurance that future revenues and results of operations will not vary substantially. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
If we are required to restate or reissue our financial statements, the price of our stock may decline significantly.
We believe that we have prepared our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the SEC’s regulations. We base these financial statements on our interpretation of those regulations, our use of estimates and assumptions and our internal controls. We may make faulty judgments, errors and mistakes regarding these matters, however, particularly in the context of accounting for acquisitions. As a result of the complexity of these matters and our rate of growth, our financial statements may contain or may in the future contain mistakes or errors. If we are required to restate our financial statements, it is highly likely that the price of our stock will decline significantly. Further, any exchange on which our stock may then be traded may suspend trading on our stock, in which case it is highly likely that the market price of our stock will fall significantly when trading resumes.
If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting, then our business and operating results could be harmed.
Internal controls over financial reporting are processes designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. We previously disclosed material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K. A failure of our remedial measures to correct these material weaknesses may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, cause our financial statements to contain material misstatements and harm our business and operating results. Even after effecting remedial measures our internal controls may not prevent all potential errors, because any control system, regardless of its design, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be achieved.
Complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may strain our resources and distract management.
We have complied with Section 404 beginning with the annual report for our 2007 fiscal year. We incurred material costs and spent significant management time to comply with Section 404. As a result, management’s attention has been diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may detect material weaknesses in our internal controls.
The annual report on Form 10-K contains, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our 2007 fiscal year, including a statement that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. In the course of our evaluation and testing of internal controls, we may identify other areas for improvement in the documentation, design and effectiveness of our internal controls, and these areas of improvement may be material. We may discover further material weaknesses in the course of our ongoing testing. Any disclosure of that type may result in a material decline in the trading price of our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
In the foreseeable future, we do not expect to declare or pay any cash or other dividends on our common stock. Our credit facility prohibits our paying cash dividends on our common stock, and we may enter into other borrowing arrangements in the future that restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock.
We may not be able to use the tax benefit from our operating losses.
As of March 31, 2008, we had available net operating losses, or NOLs, of approximately $56.0 million that will expire beginning in 2027 if not used. We acquired approximately $37.6 million of these NOLs in connection with our 2001 merger with Towne Services and approximately $7.6 million in connection with our acquisition of Alogent Corporation in January of 2008. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of NOLs available to us in any given year. This limitation permits us to realize only a small portion of the potential tax benefit of the NOLs each year. We estimate that we will be able to realize approximately $6.6 million of the Towne Services NOLs, which we recorded as a $2.5 million deferred tax asset at March 31, 2008. We may be unable to use all of these NOLs before they expire. As such, a valuation allowance has been recorded against certain of the Company’s state NOL deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2008.
Provisions in our organizational documents and under Tennessee law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Our charter, bylaws and Tennessee law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us. For example, our charter
27
provides for a staggered board of directors, restricts the ability of shareholders to call a special meeting and prohibits shareholder action by written consent. Our bylaws allow the board to expand its size and fill any vacancies without shareholder approval. In addition, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act contains the Tennessee Business Combination Act and the Tennessee Greenmail Act, which impose restrictions on shareholder actions.
