Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 9, 2011.

Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. The provisions of this standard provide an option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. This will change the manner in which comprehensive income is presented in our overall financial statements but will not result in any other accounting or financial reporting impact to us. We will be required to incorporate the provisions of this new standard effective with our first quarter filing for fiscal year 2013 and we have not yet determined which presentation methodology we will adopt.

Note 3—Fair Value

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

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

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

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

At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:


	March 31, 2012								June 30, 2011
(in thousands)	Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types						Total		Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types						Total
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Money market funds (cash and cash equivalents)	$	64,538	$	—	$	—	$	64,538	$	60,971	$	—	$	—	$	60,971

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We have certain financial instruments which consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Our marketable securities are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost which, at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, approximated fair value. These investments all mature within one year. The fair value of our other financial instruments approximate their carrying values, due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Note 4—Product and Business Acquisitions

2012 Acquisition Activity

On March 13, 2012 we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Albany Software Limited, a UK based corporation, for £20 million in cash (approximately $32 million based on current exchange rates). We expect to complete this acquisition in the next several months, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

On March 9, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets and related operations of Intuit’s commercial banking business. The acquisition will allow us to extend our banking solutions to a broader set of customers, including medium-sized and small financial institutions which make up the majority of the banking market today. In the preliminary allocation of the purchase price set forth below, we recognized approximately $1.9 million of goodwill which arose principally due to the assembled workforce we acquired. The goodwill is deductible over a 15 year period for US income tax purposes. The commercial banking operating results have been included in the results of the Banking Solutions segment from the date of the acquisition forward and all of the goodwill was allocated to this segment. Identifiable intangible assets aggregating $18.8 million are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of seven years. The identifiable intangible assets include customer related assets, core technology and other intangible assets and are being amortized over estimated weighted average useful lives of twelve, six and five years, respectively. The other intangible assets consist of assets arising from acquired contractual rights that include favorable economic terms, as compared to overall market rates, at the date of acquisition.

On November 30, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Logical Progression Group, Inc. (Logical Progression), an early stage company focused on the development of mobile solutions for the healthcare industry. Logical Progression’s innovative technology, Logical Ink, will be offered as part of our healthcare solutions portfolio. In the allocation of the purchase price set forth below, we recognized approximately $0.6 million of goodwill, which arose principally due to anticipated acquisition synergies and this amount is deductible over a 15 year period for US income tax purposes. Logical Progression operating results have been included in the results of the Payments and Transactional Documents segment from the date of the acquisition forward and all of the goodwill was allocated to this segment. The identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated weighted average useful life of nine years.

On November 10, 2011, we acquired IDT Ltd. (IDT), a longtime partner and reseller of Bottomline’s document automation solutions in the United Kingdom and Europe. The acquisition extends our market reach and adds more than 140 customers to our customer base. In the allocation of the purchase price set forth below, based on foreign exchange rates at the time of the acquisition, we recognized approximately $0.6 million of goodwill. The goodwill arose due to anticipated acquisition synergies, the recognition of certain deferred tax liabilities in purchase accounting and the assembled workforce of IDT. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The IDT operating results have been included in the results of the Payments and Transactional Documents segment from the date of the acquisition forward and all of the goodwill was allocated to this segment. The customer related intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated useful life of nine years.

Set forth below is the allocation of the purchase price for the commercial banking, Logical Progression and IDT acquisitions as of March 31, 2012. The allocation of the commercial banking purchase price is preliminary at March 31, 2012 as we were still obtaining information necessary to complete the valuation of acquired intangible assets and deferred revenue.

Total purchase price	$	20,000		$	2,390		$	1,448		$	23,838

Acquisition costs of approximately $0.3 million were expensed during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, principally as a component of general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses, in connection with the commercial banking, IDT and Logical Progression acquisitions. As these acquisitions were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.

Payment of Additional Consideration, Global Commission Payments Acquisition

On February 24, 2010, we acquired certain customer contracts associated with Bank of America’s Global Commission Payments business. The initial consideration paid by us was $1.0 million in cash. In February 2012, we paid additional consideration of $4.4 million to Bank of America upon the migration of acquired contracts to our Paymode-X solution. The total acquisition cost of $5.4 million was capitalized as a component of our customer-related intangible assets and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years.

2011 Acquisition Activity

On April 1, 2011, we acquired LAS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Allegient Systems, Inc. (Allegient), a provider of advanced capabilities for legal e-billing, bill review and analytics. Allegient’s proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) platform and value-added turnkey solutions complement and extend our Legal eXchange portfolio, offering the combined customer base of more than 100 leading insurers enhanced capabilities to effectively manage their legal expenses.

We recognized approximately $20.1 million of goodwill which arose due to the recognition of certain deferred tax liabilities in purchase accounting, anticipated acquisition synergies and due to the assembled workforce of Allegient. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets for Allegient, aggregating $39.7 million, are being amortized over a weighted average useful life of thirteen years. The acquired identifiable intangible assets include customer related assets, core technology, the Allegient tradename and below market lease agreements and are being amortized over estimated useful lives of thirteen, twelve, one and six years, respectively. Allegient’s operating results were included in our Outsourced Solutions segment from the date of the acquisition forward, and all of the Allegient goodwill was allocated to this segment.

Set forth below is the allocation of the Allegient purchase price at March 31, 2012.

Total purchase price	$	49,652

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Bottomline and Allegient as if that acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2010. The pro forma financial information presented includes the accounting effects resulting from certain adjustments such as an increase in amortization expense as a result of acquired intangible assets, an increase in depreciation expense as a result of acquired property and equipment and a decrease in interest income as a result of the cash paid for the acquisition. This pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have actually occurred had we and Allegient been a single entity during these periods.


	Pro Forma (unaudited) Three months ended		Pro Forma (unaudited) Nine months ended
	March 31, 2011		March 31, 2011
	(in thousands)
Revenues	$	52,790	$	146,927
Net income	$	618	$	4,832
Net income per basic and diluted shares attributable to common stockholders	$	0.02	$	0.15

The purchase price for each acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, with any remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was estimated by performing

projections of discounted cash flow, whereby revenues and costs associated with the assets are forecast to derive expected cash flow which is discounted to present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation and projection process is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The valuation assumptions also take into consideration our estimates of contract renewal, technology attrition and revenue and expense projections.

Note 5—Net Income Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011		2012		2011
	(in thousands)

Effect of dilutive securities		—			2,125		1,069		1,760

Shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders		34,460			34,142		35,179		33,127


Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders	$	(0.04	)	$	0.03	$	0.08	$	0.19


Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders	$	(0.04	)	$	0.03	$	0.08	$	0.18

The calculation of basic net income (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted stock and stock warrants.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, 1,147,000 stock options and shares of restricted stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect on the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, 15,000 stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect on the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 6—Comprehensive Income or Loss

Comprehensive income or loss represents our net income plus the results of certain stockholders’ equity changes not reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The components of comprehensive income or loss are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Nine Months Ended March 31,

Note 7—Operations by Segments and Geographic Areas

Segment Information

Operating segments are the components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Our operating segments are organized principally by the type of product or service offered and by geography.

As of July 1, 2011, we revised the methodology used for allocating general and administrative costs to our reportable segments. During 2012, we also changed the segment classification of certain customers’ revenue. To ensure a consistent presentation of the measurement of segment revenues and profit or loss, these changes are reflected for all periods presented.

Similar operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments as follows:

Payments and Transactional Documents.Our Payments and Transactional Documents segment is a supplier of software products that provide a range of financial business process management solutions including making and collecting payments, sending and receiving invoices, and generating and storing business documents. This segment also incorporates our payments automation software for direct debit and receivables management and provides a range of standard professional services and equipment and supplies that complement and enhance our core software products. Revenue associated with the aforementioned products and services is typically recorded upon delivery or, if extended payment terms have been granted to the customer, as payments become contractually due. This segment also incorporates our check printing solutions in Europe as well as certain other solutions that are licensed on a subscription basis, revenue for which is typically recorded on a subscription or transaction basis or ratably over the expected life of the customer relationship.

Banking Solutions.The Banking Solutions segment provides solutions that are specifically designed for banking and financial institution customers. Our customized transaction banking solutions typically involve longer implementation periods and a significant level of professional services. Due to the customized nature of these products, revenue is generally recognized over the period of project performance on a percentage of completion basis. Periodically, we license these solutions on a subscription basis which has the effect of contributing to recurring revenue and the revenue predictability of future periods, but which also delays revenue recognition over a period that is longer than the period of project performance. The Banking Solutions segment also includes the operating results of our commercial banking business which we acquired in March 2012. Our commercial banking products are SaaS offerings focused predominantly on medium-sized and small banks and financial institutions. Revenue associated with our commercial banking products is typically recognized on a subscription or transaction basis or ratably over the estimated life of the customer relationship.

Outsourced Solutions.The Outsourced Solutions segment provides customers with outsourced and hosted SaaS offerings that facilitate electronic payment, electronic invoicing, and spend management. Our legal spend management solutions, which enable customers to create more efficient processes for managing invoices generated by outside law firms while offering insight into important legal spend factors such as budgeting, expense monitoring and outside counsel performance, are included within this segment. This segment also incorporates our hosted and outsourced payments and accounts payable automation solutions, including Paymode-X and SWIFT Access Service. Revenue within this segment is generally recognized on a subscription or transaction basis or ratably over the estimated life of the customer relationship.

Periodically a sales person in one operating segment will sell products and services that are typically sold within a different operating segment. In such cases, the transaction is generally recorded by the operating segment to which the sales person is assigned. Accordingly, segment results can include the results of transactions that have been allocated to a specific segment based on the contributing sales resources, rather than the nature of the product or service. Conversely, a transaction can be recorded by the operating segment primarily responsible for delivery to the customer, even if the sales person is assigned to a different operating segment.

Our chief operating decision maker assesses segment performance based on a variety of factors that can include segment revenue and a segment measure of profit or loss. Each segment’s measure of profit or loss is on a pre-tax basis and excludes stock compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses (including acquisition related contingent consideration), amortization of intangible assets, impairment losses on equity investments and restructuring related charges. There are no inter-segment sales; accordingly, the measure of segment revenue and profit or loss reflects only revenues from external customers. The costs of certain corporate level expenses, primarily general and administrative expenses, are allocated to our operating segments at predetermined rates that are established as a percentage of the segment’s budgeted revenues.

We do not track or assign our assets by operating segment.

Geographic Information

We have presented geographic information about our revenues below. This presentation allocates revenue based on the point of sale rather than the location of the customer. Accordingly, we derive revenues from geographic locations based on the location of the customer that would vary from the geographic areas listed here, particularly in respect of financial institution customers located in Australia and Canada for which the point of sale was the United States.

Note 8—Income Taxes

The income tax expense we record in any interim period is based on our estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year. The calculation of our estimated effective tax rate requires an estimate of pretax income by tax jurisdiction, as well as total tax expense for the fiscal year. Accordingly, this tax rate is subject to adjustment if, in later periods, there are changes to our initial estimates of total tax expense or pretax income, including income by jurisdiction.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, our estimated effective tax rate increased due to a decrease in our projection of 2012 North America pretax income as compared to other jurisdictions. We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to the recognition of tax expense consistent with a higher 2012 estimated effective tax rate. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the excess of our effective tax rate over statutory tax rates was primarily due to our inability to utilize certain foreign tax credits as a reduction to foreign income that is included in our US tax return. This has the effect of taxing certain income twice, resulting in a higher overall tax rate. Tax expense in fiscal 2012 is arising predominantly due to expense associated with our UK, US and Australian operations.

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was due to tax expense associated with our UK, Australian and US operations. Tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was offset in part by a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million arising from the release of a portion of our valuation allowance that had previously been recorded against our UK deferred tax assets. The US income tax expense was principally due to state income tax expense and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.

We currently anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next twelve months by approximately $0.1 million as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations associated with intercompany transactions subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions.

Note 9—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following tables set forth the information for intangible assets subject to amortization and for intangible assets not subject to amortization. Other intangible assets consist of acquired tradenames, backlog, patents and contract based assets. Contract based assets arise from acquired contractual rights that provide for favorable economic terms, as compared to overall market rates, at the date of acquisition.

Note 10—Subsequent Event

In April 2012, we realigned our overall global resources, with a particular focus on resources associated with the acquired commercial banking business. This process is substantially complete, and we estimate that we will record pre-tax restructuring charges arising from severance related benefits of approximately $1.3 million during the quarter and fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us up to, and including, the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. You should carefully review those factors and also carefully review the risks outlined in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the management discussion that follows we have highlighted those changes and operating factors that were the primary factors affecting period to period fluctuations. The remainder of the change in period to period fluctuations from that which is specifically disclosed is arising from various individually insignificant items.

Overview

We provide cloud-based payment, invoice and banking solutions to corporations, insurance companies, healthcare organizations, financial institutions and banks around the world. Our solutions are used to streamline, automate and manage processes and transactions involving global payments, invoice receipt and approval, collections, cash management, risk mitigation, document management, reporting and document archive. We offer hosted or Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, as well as software designed to run on-site at the customer’s location. A growing portion of our offerings are being sold as SaaS-based solutions and paid for on a subscriptions and transactions basis. Historically, however, our software has been sold predominantly on a perpetual license basis.

Our corporate customers rely on our solutions to automate their payment and accounts payable processes and to streamline and manage the production and retention of electronic documents. We offer SaaS-based legal spend management solutions that automate receipt and review of legal invoices for insurance companies and other large corporate consumers of outside legal services. We also offer a SaaS-based offering that facilitates the exchange of electronic payments and invoices between buyers and their suppliers. Our offerings include software solutions that top-tier global banks use to provide Web-based payment and reporting capabilities to their corporate customers as well as SaaS-based products designed specifically for medium sized and small banks and financial institutions. Our document automation solutions are used by organizations to automate paper-intensive processes for the generation of transactional and supply chain documents.

Our solutions complement, leverage and extend our customers’ existing information systems, accounting applications and banking relationships and can be deployed quickly and efficiently. To help our customers receive the maximum value from our products and meet their specific business requirements, we also provide professional services for installation, training, consulting and product enhancement.

In November 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Logical Progression Group, Inc. (Logical Progression), an early stage company focused on the development of mobile solutions for the healthcare industry. Logical Progression’s innovative technology, Logical Ink, will be offered as part of our healthcare solutions portfolio. Also in November 2011, we acquired IDT, Ltd. (IDT), a longtime partner and reseller of our document automation solutions in the United Kingdom and Europe. The IDT acquisition extends our market reach and adds more than 140 customers to our customer base.

In March 2012, we entered into an agreement to acquire Albany Software Limited, a UK based corporation, for a cash payment of £20 million (approximately $32 million based on current exchange rates). We anticipate completing this transaction in the next several months, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

In March 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets and related operations of Intuit’s commercial banking business for $20 million. In connection with this acquisition, we are broadening our overall banking product set to include

solutions tailored to the unique customer demands of the medium-sized and small bank markets. Additionally, we are accelerating the development of our SaaS-based hosting infrastructure and growing our global sales and marketing resources so that we can capitalize on the significant customer opportunities we see in these markets. The commercial banking business that we acquired has been experiencing customer attrition in recent periods, due largely to the fact that the underlying products require further investment and improvement. We believe the investments we are making in these products will ultimately address these concerns but we believe that customer attrition remains a significant risk as we enter these markets, particularly in the short term.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, our revenue increased to $162.9 million from $135.1 million in the same period of fiscal year 2011. This revenue increase was attributable to revenue increases of $20.7 million in our Outsourced Solutions segment, $4.0 million in our Payments and Transactional Documents segment and $3.0 million in our Banking Solutions segment. The increased revenue contribution from our legal spend management solutions, our SWIFT Access Service solution and our Paymode-X solution accounted for the majority of the revenue increase in our Outsourced Solutions segment. The increased revenue in our Payments and Transactional Documents segment was related to higher European revenue in our payment and document automation products principally due to additional revenue from our fiscal 2011 acquisition of Direct Debit Limited (DDL). The Banking Solutions segment’s increased revenue related to our customized transaction banking software offerings and revenue from our commercial banking acquisition. These increases include a favorable effect of foreign exchange rates of $0.3 million primarily associated with the British Pound Sterling, which appreciated against the US Dollar when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

We had net income of $2.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income of $5.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net income was due largely to $5.1 million of income tax expense recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.1 million of income tax expense recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Our gross margin increased by $14.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2012 related primarily to revenue increases across all of our operating segments. The increased gross margin was partially offset by increased operating expense of $13.1 million, which was primarily due to increased employee related costs and increased intangible asset amortization expense as compared to the same period in the prior year.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we derived approximately 40% of our revenue from customers located outside of North America, principally in the UK and the Asia-Pacific region.

We expect future revenue growth to be driven by increased purchases of our products, including our legal spend management, SWIFT Access Service, and Paymode-X solutions and from increased sales of our payments and transactional documents products, particularly in our healthcare solutions portfolio. We also expect revenue to increase based on the contribution of revenue from the commercial banking business that we acquired in March 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used.

The critical accounting policies we identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 related to stock based compensation, revenue recognition, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and the valuation of acquired intangible assets and acquired deferred revenue. It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on September 9, 2011. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements. The provisions of this standard provide an option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. This will change the manner in which comprehensive income is presented in our overall financial statements, but will not result in any other accounting or financial reporting impact to us. We will be required to incorporate the provisions of this new standard effective with our first quarter filing for fiscal year 2013 and we have not yet determined which presentation methodology we will adopt.

Segment Information

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

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

In the reconciliation above, acquisition-related expenses include legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with business and asset acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, and other charges incurred as a direct result of our acquisition or integration efforts.

Payments and Transactional Documents.The Payments and Transactional Documents segment revenue increased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Increases of $0.4 million in software license revenue, $0.3 million in subscriptions and transactions revenue and $1.0 million in service and maintenance revenue were slightly offset by decreased equipment and supplies revenue of $0.2 million. The revenue increases were partially attributable to increased European revenue as a result of our fiscal 2011 acquisition of DDL. The revenue includes an unfavorable effect of foreign exchange rates of $0.2 million associated with the British Pound Sterling and the Australian Dollar, both of which depreciated against the US Dollar when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The segment profit increase of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to increased gross margins related to increased European revenue from our payment and document automation products, partially offset by increased operating expenses of $0.7 million. We expect revenue and segment profit for the Payments and Transactional Documents segment to increase slightly in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of increased sales.

Banking Solutions.Revenues from our Banking Solutions segment decreased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to decreases in professional services revenue of $1.7 million and software license revenue of $0.2 million, partially offset by increases in subscriptions and transactions revenues of $0.5 million and maintenance revenues of $0.3 million. Segment profit decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to the decreases in revenue and increased operating expenses of $1.2 million. We expect revenue for the Banking Solutions segment to increase during the fourth quarter as a result of the contribution of revenue from our commercial banking acquisition, however we expect profit for the Banking Solutions segment to decrease slightly during the fourth quarter as we invest in our newly acquired commercial banking products, grow our global sales and marketing teams that will support these products and complete certain large banking projects that had been ongoing through March 31, 2012.

Outsourced Solutions.Revenues from our Outsourced Solutions segment increased as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to the increased revenue contributions from our legal spend management solutions of $4.9 million, our SWIFT Access Service solution of $0.5 million and our Paymode-X solution of $0.7 million. The legal spend management solutions revenue growth was driven principally by our April 2011 acquisition of Allegient and new customer wins. Segment profit increased $1.0 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to improved subscriptions and transactions gross margins in Europe partially offset by margin declines in our North American markets. We expect revenue for the Outsourced Solutions segment to increase during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to an increase in legal spend management and Paymode-X revenue. We expect quarterly profit for the Outsourced Solutions segment to remain consistent during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Total revenues	$	55,316		100.0	$	48,811		100.0	$	6,505			13.3

Software Licenses.The increase in software license revenue was due to an increase in European revenue of approximately $0.5 million in our Payments and Transactional Documents segment principally attributable to our February

2011 acquisition of DDL, partially offset by a decrease in US revenue for payment and document automation products of $0.1 million and banking products of $0.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. We expect software license revenues to increase during the remainder of fiscal year 2012, principally as a result of increased sales in our Payments and Transactional Documents and Banking Solutions segments.

Subscriptions and Transactions.The increase in subscriptions and transactions revenue was due principally to the revenue contribution from our legal spend management solutions of $4.8 million, Paymode-X solution of $0.7 million, Banking Solutions segment of $0.5 million, SWIFT Access Service solution of $0.5 million and European revenue from our payment and document automation products of $0.4 million. The increase in legal spend management revenue was primarily due to our fiscal 2011 acquisition of Allegient. We expect subscriptions and transactions revenues to increase during the remainder of the fiscal year, primarily as a result of the revenue contribution from our commercial banking, legal spend management and Paymode-X solutions.

Service and Maintenance.The decrease in service and maintenance revenues was primarily the result of a $1.3 million decrease in revenue related to banking projects, partially offset by increased European service and maintenance revenue from our payment and document automation products of $1.0 million. We expect that service and maintenance revenues will decline during the remainder of the fiscal year due to the recent completion of several large banking projects.

Equipment and Supplies.The decrease in equipment and supplies revenues was principally due to a decrease in revenue from both our US and European payments and transactional document products. We expect that equipment and supplies revenues will remain relatively consistent during the remainder of 2012.

Software Licenses.Software license costs consist of expenses incurred by us to manufacture, package and distribute our software products and related documentation and costs of licensing third party software that is incorporated into or sold with certain of our products. Software license costs increased to 16% of software license revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in software license costs of $0.2 million was primarily due to the cost of third party software that accompanies certain of our payment and transactional document sales in Europe and banking products in North America. We expect that software license costs will increase as a percentage of software license revenues during the remainder of the fiscal year due to third party software costs in our Banking Solutions segment.

Subscriptions and Transactions.Subscriptions and transactions costs include salaries and other related costs for our professional services teams as well as costs related to our hosting infrastructure such as depreciation and facilities related expenses. Subscriptions and transactions costs decreased to 53% of subscriptions and transactions revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 57% in the same period of 2011. The decrease in subscriptions and transactions costs as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to higher gross margins associated with certain of our banking products and SWIFT Access Service products in Europe. We expect that subscriptions and transactions costs will remain relatively consistent as a percentage of subscriptions and transactions revenue during the remainder of the fiscal year.

Service and Maintenance.Service and maintenance costs include salaries and other related costs for our customer service, maintenance and help desk support staffs, as well as third party contractor expenses used to complement our professional services team. Service and maintenance costs remained consistent at 46% of service and maintenance revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. We expect that service and maintenance costs will increase slightly as a percentage of service and maintenance revenues during the remainder of the fiscal year due to the completion of several large banking projects.

Equipment and Supplies. Equipment and supplies costs include the costs associated with equipment and supplies that we resell, as well as freight, shipping and postage costs associated with the delivery of our products. Equipment and supplies costs remained relatively consistent at 79% of equipment and supplies revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 78% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We expect that equipment and supplies costs will remain relatively consistent as a percentage of equipment and supplies revenues for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Total operating expenses	$	29,242		52.9	$	24,521		50.2	$	4,721		19.3

Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions, travel, public relations and marketing materials and trade show participation. Sales and marketing expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of an increase in employee related costs of $1.6 million primarily related to our fiscal 2012 and 2011 acquisitions. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase over the remainder of the fiscal year as we add sales and marketing resources to support our new products, particularly our commercial banking products.

Product Development and Engineering.Product development and engineering expenses consist primarily of personnel costs to support product development, which consists of enhancements and revisions to our products based on customer feedback and general marketplace demands. The increase in product development and engineering expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee related costs of $0.9 million and costs associated with contract employees of $0.1 million which augmented existing resources to drive increased product development and enhancement initiatives. We expect that product development and engineering expenses will increase during the remainder of the fiscal year as we continue to invest in our SaaS-based solutions that we believe will drive future revenue growth, such as our newly acquired commercial banking products, Paymode-X and legal spend management.

General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for operations and finance employees and legal and accounting services. General and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to increases in employee related costs of $0.5 million and an increase in costs associated with contract employees of $0.1 million. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase during the remainder of the fiscal year principally due to our integration efforts associated with current year acquisitions.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.We amortize our intangible assets in proportion to the estimated rate at which the asset provides economic benefit to us. Accordingly, amortization expense rates are often higher in the earlier periods of an asset’s estimated life. The increase in amortization expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011 occurred as a result of increased expense from intangible assets associated with our fiscal 2011 and 2012 acquisitions. We expect that total amortization expense for fiscal 2012 will approximate $15.8 million.

Other Income, Net. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, interest income increased slightly as a result of increased average cash balances. Interest expense remained insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The decrease in other income is the result of a decrease in foreign exchange gains in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. We expect that the individual components of other income and expense will continue to represent minor components of our overall operations during the remainder of fiscal 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our estimated effective tax rate increased due to a decrease in our projection of 2012 North America pretax income as compared to other jurisdictions. We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to the recognition of tax expense consistent with a higher 2012 estimated effective tax rate. Tax expense in fiscal 2012 is arising predominantly due to expense associated with our UK, US and Australian operations.

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to tax expense associated with our UK, US and Australian operations.

Payments and Transactional Documents.The revenue increase of $4.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to increased subscriptions and transactions revenue of $1.6 million, increased software license revenue of $1.6 million from our European payment and document automation products and increased service and maintenance revenue of $1.1 million, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in equipment revenue. The increased revenue includes the favorable effect of foreign exchange rates of $0.2 million. The segment profit increase of $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to improved gross margins of $2.6 million related to increased European revenue from our payment and document automation products, which was offset in part by increased sales and marketing expenses of $1.8 million.

Banking Solutions.Revenues from our Banking Solutions segment increased $3.0 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to an increase in professional services revenue of $5.2 million associated with several large banking projects and an increase of $0.7 million in maintenance revenue, offset in part by a net decrease in subscriptions and transactions revenue of $2.3 million. The profit decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to increased operating expenses of $2.2 million primarily associated with increased headcount related expenses, partially offset by improved gross margins of $1.1 million from increased professional services revenue.

Outsourced Solutions.Revenues from our Outsourced Solutions segment increased $20.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to the revenue contribution from our legal spend management solutions of $14.6 million, our SWIFT Access Service solution of $3.5 million and our Paymode-X solution of $2.7 million. The segment profit increase of $5.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the profit contribution of our fiscal 2011 acquisitions and improved gross margins from our Paymode-X solution.

Total revenues	$	162,886		100.0	$	135,132		100.0	$	27,754			20.5

Software Licenses.The increase in software license revenues was due to an increase in European revenue of $2.0 million from certain of our payment and document automation products, partially offset by decreases in software license revenue in our Banking Solutions segment of $0.6 million and decreases in software license revenue from our US payment and document automation products of $0.7 million.

Subscriptions and Transactions.The increase in subscriptions and transactions revenues of $19.0 million was due principally to increased revenue from our Outsourced Solutions segment of $19.6 million, including increases in revenue from our legal spend management, SWIFT Access Service and Paymode-X solutions, and a revenue increase from our Payments and Transactional Documents segment of $1.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our Banking Solutions segment of $2.3 million.

Service and Maintenance.The increase in service and maintenance revenues was primarily the result of an increase in professional services revenues of $6.3 million associated with several large banking projects and increased professional service and software maintenance revenues associated with our SWIFT Access Service solutions of $1.3 million. These increases were offset in part by lower document process automation software maintenance revenue in the US. The increase includes approximately $0.2 million in revenue resulting from an increase in foreign exchange rates associated with the British Pound Sterling.

Equipment and Supplies. The decrease in equipment and supplies revenues was principally due to a decrease in revenue from our US payments and transactional document products.

Software Licenses.Software license costs increased to 13% of software license revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in software license costs was due primarily to the cost of third party software that accompanies certain of our payment and transactional document sales in the US and Europe and certain banking products in North America.

Subscriptions and Transactions.Subscriptions and transactions costs decreased to 51% of subscriptions and transactions revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 55% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in subscriptions and transactions costs as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to higher gross margins associated with our SWIFT Access Service solution and our European sales of payments and transactional documents products.

Service and Maintenance.Service and maintenance costs remained consistent at 44% of service and maintenance revenues as compared to 43% for the nine month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

Equipment and Supplies. Equipment and supplies costs increased slightly to 79% of equipment and supplies revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 77% of equipment and supplies revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses increased $6.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of an increase in employee related costs of $5.6 million, primarily due to the impact of our fiscal 2011 acquisitions, and increased headcount related costs in our Banking Solutions segment.

Product Development and Engineering.The increase in product development and engineering expenses was primarily attributable to increased employee and contract personnel related costs of $2.7 million as a result of our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions and our increased focus on SaaS and hosted products.

General and Administrative.The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million was principally attributable to an increase in employee and contract personnel related costs of $1.3 million.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.We amortize our intangible assets in proportion to the estimated rate at which the asset provides economic benefit to us. Accordingly, amortization expense rates are often higher in the earlier periods of an asset’s estimated life. The increase in amortization expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 occurred primarily as a result of increased expense from intangible assets associated with our fiscal 2011 and 2012 acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense), Net. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, interest income increased slightly as a result of our increased average cash balances. The decline in other income (expense) is primarily the result of foreign exchange losses in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared with foreign exchange gains in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, our estimated effective tax rate increased due to a decrease in our projection of 2012 North America pretax income as compared to other jurisdictions. We recorded income tax expense of $5.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the excess of our effective tax rate over statutory tax rates was primarily due to our inability to utilize certain foreign tax credits as a reduction to foreign income that is included in our US tax return. This has the effect of taxing certain income twice, resulting in a higher overall tax rate. Tax expense in fiscal 2012 is arising predominantly due to expense associated with our UK, US and Australian operations.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due to tax expense associated with our UK, US and Australian operations. Tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was offset in part by a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million arising from the release of a portion of our valuation allowance that had previously been recorded against our UK deferred tax assets. The US income tax expense was principally due to state income tax expense and an increase in deferred tax liabilities for goodwill that is deductible for tax purposes but not amortized for financial reporting purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

In March 2012, we entered into an agreement to acquire Albany Software Limited, a UK based corporation, for a cash payment of £20 million (approximately $32 million based on current exchange rates). We anticipate funding this obligation with cash on hand and do not believe this use of cash will adversely impact our overall liquidity position.

One of our goals is to maintain and improve our capital structure. The key metrics we focus on in assessing the strength of our liquidity, and a summary of our cash activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, are summarized in the tables below:


	March 31,			June 30,
	2012			2011
	(in thousands)
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	118,334		$	112,017
Long-term debt (capital leases)	$	23		$	96

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
	(in thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	23,334		$	21,894
Cash used in investing activities		(32,844	)		(17,176	)
Cash provided by financing activities		16,102			16,992
Effect of exchange rates		(273	)		2,911

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At March 31, 2012 our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of cash deposits held at major banks, money market funds and marketable securities. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 31, 2012 from June 30, 2011 was primarily due to $23.3 million of cash generated from operations and $14.7 million of cash generated from the exercise of warrants or options in our common stock. These increases were offset in part by the use of $27.4 million of cash paid for business and asset acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and the use of $5.5 million to purchase property and equipment.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included $34.8 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012, of which $6.8 million would be subject to US tax rates if we sought to use those amounts to fund domestic operations. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than US Dollars. Accordingly, decreases in the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound, European Euro, and Australian Dollar to the US Dollar decreased our overall cash balances by approximately $0.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Further changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies could have a significant effect on our overall cash balances. However, we continue to believe that our existing cash balances, even in light of the foreign currency volatility we frequently experience, are adequate to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

We intend to continue to permanently reinvest our earnings from foreign subsidiaries, and we currently do not anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign subsidiaries to fund our domestic operations. If in the future we were to change our intention with respect to permanent reinvestment of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, any foreign earnings that had previously not been taxed in the US would generally become subject to US tax at statutory rates.

Operating Activities. Cash generated from operating activities primarily relates to our net income, less the impact of non-cash expenses and changes in working capital. Cash generated from operations increased by $1.4 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in cash used in accounts receivable of $2.4 million and a decrease in cash provided by other assets of $2.3 million, offset in part by a decrease in cash provided by prepaid assets of $1.2 million and an increase in cash used in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.7 million when compared to the same period in the prior year.

At March 31, 2012, a portion of the deferred tax assets associated with our US and European operations continue to be reserved since, given the available evidence, it is deemed more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

At March 31, 2012, we had US net operating loss carryforwards of $53.4 million, which expire at various times through the year 2032 and European net operating loss carryforwards of $8.9 million, which have no statutory expiration date. We also have approximately $2.7 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards available which expire at various points through the year 2032. The research and development tax credit expired on December 31, 2011 for US federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, absent a change in US tax law, we will not generate research and development tax credits beyond the approximately $2.7 million we have recorded through March 31, 2012. Our operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Investing Activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was predominantly due to an increase of $12.8 million in cash used for business and asset acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Cash used to purchase property, plant and equipment increased by $2.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. As a result of our focus on expanding our SaaS-based offerings we anticipate that our capital expenditures will increase in fiscal 2013. We believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated from future operations will be adequate to meet our operating requirements.

Financing Activities.During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases decreased by $5.4 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded cash inflows of $8.5 million from the exercise of common stock warrants that had been issued to Bank of America in connection with our acquisition of PayMode. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we received $4.9 million of cash from the partial exercise of an over-allotment option from our June 2010 common stock offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we did not engage in material off-balance sheet activities, including the use of structured finance, special purpose or variable interest entities, material trading activities in non-exchange traded commodity contracts or transactions with persons or entities that benefit from their non-independent relationship with us.

Contractual Obligations

Following is a summary of future payments that we are required to make under existing contractual obligations as of March 31, 2012:

Total	$	52,377	$	33,331	$	10,625	$	3,600	$	4,821

*	Payment due dates are calculated from our most recent fiscal year end of June 30, 2011.

Purchase orders are not included in the table above. Our purchase orders represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. The contractual obligation amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum services to be used; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contract that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above. Also excluded from the table is our estimate of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2012 in the amount of $0.6 million. These amounts have been excluded because as of March 31, 2012 we are unable to estimate the timing of future cash outflows, if any, associated with these liabilities as we do not currently anticipate settling any of these tax positions with cash payment in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions or other instruments to minimize our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations nor do we presently plan to in the future. Also, we have not entered into any interest rate swap agreements, or other instruments to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. There has been no material change to our exposure to market risk from that which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 9, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 10, 2001, a class action complaint was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Paul Cyrek v. Bottomline Technologies, Inc.; Daniel M. McGurl; Robert A. Eberle; FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.; Deutsche Banc Alex Brown Inc.; CIBC World Markets; and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. A consolidated amended class action complaint,In re Bottomline Technologies Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, was filed on April 20, 2002.

On November 13, 2001, a class action complaint was filed against Optio in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Kevin Dewey v. Optio Software, Inc.; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.; Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc.; FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.; Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.; Dain Rauscher Inc.; U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, Inc.; C. Wayne Cape; and F. Barron Hughes. A consolidated amended class action complaint,In re Optio Software, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, was filed on April 22, 2002.

The amended complaints filed in both the actions against us and Optio asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The amended complaints asserted, among other things, that the descriptions in our and Optio’s prospectuses for our initial public offerings were materially false and misleading in describing the compensation to be earned by the underwriters of the offerings, and in not describing certain alleged arrangements among underwriters and initial purchasers of the common stock from the underwriters. The amended complaints sought damages (or, in the alternative, tender of the plaintiffs’ and the class’s common stock and rescission of their purchases of the common stock purchased in the initial public offering), costs, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other expenses.

In July 2002, we and Optio joined in an omnibus motion to dismiss, which challenged the legal sufficiency of plaintiffs’ claims. The motion was filed on behalf of hundreds of issuer and individual defendants named in similar lawsuits. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an order denying the motion to dismiss as to Bottomline and denying in part the motion to dismiss as to Optio. In addition, in October 2002, Daniel M. McGurl, Robert A. Eberle, C. Wayne Cape and F. Barron Hughes were dismissed from this case without prejudice. Both Bottomline and Optio authorized the negotiation of a settlement of the pending claims, and the parties negotiated a settlement, which was subject to approval by the court. On August 31, 2005, the court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned the District Court’s certification of the class of plaintiffs who are pursuing the claims that would be settled in the settlement against the underwriter defendants. Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc with the Second Circuit on January 5, 2007 in response to the Second Circuit’s decision. On April 6, 2007, plaintiffs’ Petition for Rehearing of the Second Circuit’s decision was denied. On June 25, 2007, the District Court signed an order terminating the settlement. On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in certain designated focus cases in the District Court. That motion was withdrawn. Neither Bottomline nor Optio’s cases are part of the designated focus case group. On November 13, 2007, the issuer defendants in the designated focus cases filed a motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaints that were filed in those cases. On March 26, 2008, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order denying, in large part, the motions to dismiss the amended complaints in these focus cases. On April 2, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of a new proposed settlement between plaintiffs, the underwriter defendants, the issuer defendants and the insurers for the issuer defendants. On June 10, 2009, the Court issued an opinion preliminarily approving the proposed settlement, and scheduling a settlement fairness hearing for September 10, 2009. On August 25, 2009, the plaintiffs filed a motion for final approval of the proposed settlement, approval of the plan of distribution of the settlement fund, and certification of the settlement classes. The settlement fairness hearing was held on September 10, 2009. On October 5, 2009, the Court issued an opinion granting plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement, approval of the plan of distribution of the settlement fund, and certification of the settlement classes. An order and final judgment was entered on November 25, 2009. Various notices of appeal of the Court’s order have been filed. On October 7, 2010, all but two parties who had filed a notice of appeal filed a stipulation with the court withdrawing their appeals with prejudice, and the two remaining objectors filed briefs in support of their appeals. On December 8, 2010, the plaintiffs moved to dismiss with prejudice the appeal filed by one of the two objectors based on alleged violations of the Second Circuit’s rules, including failure to serve, falsifying proofs of service, and failure to include citations to the record. On May 17, 2011, the Second Circuit dismissed one of the appeals and remanded the one remaining appeal to the District Court for further proceedings to determine whether the remaining objector had standing. On August 25, 2011, the District Court concluded that the remaining objector lacked standing. On September 23, 2011, the remaining objector filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court’s August 25, 2011 Order. On January 10, 2012, the objector withdrew its appeal with prejudice. On January 13, 2012, the Second Circuit issued a mandate dismissing the appeal, thereby ending the case.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before making an investment decision involving our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

The risk factors below have been updated to reflect our newly acquired commercial banking business and additional risks related to the new markets it opens to us. Other risks have not materially changed from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Continuing weakness or further deterioration in domestic and global economic conditions could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results

Our business and operating results could be significantly affected by general economic conditions. The US and global economies have experienced a significant prolonged downturn and prospects for sustained economic recovery remain uncertain. Prolonged economic weakness or a further downturn in the US and global economies could result in a variety of risks to our business, including:

•

increased volatility in our stock price;

•

increased volatility in foreign currency exchange rates;

•

delays in, or curtailment of, purchasing decisions by our customers or potential customers either as a result of continuing economic uncertainty or anxiety or as a result of their inability to access the liquidity necessary to engage in purchasing initiatives;

•

increased credit risk associated with our customers or potential customers, particularly those that may operate in industries most affected by the economic downturn; and

•

impairment of our goodwill or other assets.

To the extent that economic conditions remain uncertain or deteriorate further, or any of the above risks occur, our business and operating results could be significantly and adversely affected.

Our common stock has experienced and may continue to undergo significant market price and volume fluctuations

The NASDAQ Global Select Market often experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market fluctuations of this type may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The stock prices for many companies in the technology sector have experienced wide fluctuations that often have been unrelated to their operating performance. The market price of our common stock has experienced and may continue to undergo extreme fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including:

•

general and industry-specific business, economic and market conditions;

•

changes in or our failure to meet analysts’ or investors’ estimates or expectations;

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results, including those arising as a result of any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets related to past or future acquisitions;

•

public announcements concerning us, including announcements regarding litigation, our competitors or our industry;

•

publication of research by securities or industry analysts about us and our business;

•

introductions of new products or services or announcements of significant contracts by us or our competitors;

•

acquisitions, divestitures, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

•

adverse developments in patent or other proprietary rights; and

•

announcements of technological innovations by our competitors.

With our commercial banking acquisition in March 2012, we are entering into new customer markets and broadening our solution set to address the unique customer demands of this market; these initiatives may not be successful

In March 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets and related operations of Intuit’s commercial banking business. In connection with this acquisition, we are broadening our overall banking business in a number of important ways, including:

•

broadening our overall solution set to include a focus on medium sized and small banks and financial institutions, an initiative that will require significant product investment;

•

accelerating the development of our overall solution set to SaaS-based offerings, which will require ongoing investment in our hosted infrastructure, including data security and disaster recovery capabilities; and

•

growing our global sales and marketing resources to be able to capitalize on the significant customer opportunity that we see in these markets.

In addition, the commercial banking business that we acquired has been experiencing customer attrition over recent periods due in large part to customers’ views that the product required further investment and improvement. While we believe that our development efforts will ultimately address this underlying concern, there is a risk that customer attrition will continue to occur, particularly in the short term. If we are unable to bring to market a commercial banking solution that addresses these concerns, or if the initiatives described above are unsuccessful in retaining existing customers, securing new customers and growing our revenues, our operating results would likely be adversely affected.

We continue to make significant investments in existing products and new product offerings which can adversely affect our operating results; these investments may not be successful

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology environment and believe that it is important to enhance our existing product offerings as well as to develop new product offerings to meet strategic opportunities as they evolve. Our operating results have recently been affected by increases in product development expenses as we have continued to make investments in our hosted, banking and accounts payable automation products, principally Paymode-X. We may at any time, based on product needs or marketplace demands, decide to significantly increase our product development expenditures. We expect to continue to make significant investments in our Paymode-X, legal spend management, transaction banking and our newly acquired commercial banking products during fiscal year 2012. Investments in existing products and new product offerings can have a negative impact on our operating results and any new product enhancement or offering may not be accepted in the marketplace or generate material revenues.

Our future financial results will be affected by our success in selling our products in a subscriptions and transactions or SaaS-based revenue model, which carries with it certain risks

A substantial portion of our revenues and profitability were historically generated from perpetual software license revenues. We are offering a growing number of our products under a subscriptions and transactions based revenue model and we continue to invest heavily in our hosted and SaaS-based products and platforms. We believe a subscription and transaction model has certain advantages over a perpetual license model, including better predictability of revenue; however, it also presents a number of risks to us, including the following:

•

arrangements entered into on a subscriptions and transactions basis generally delay the timing of revenue recognition and often require the incurrence of up-front costs, which can be significant;

•

subscriptions and transactions based revenue arrangements often include specific performance requirements or service levels that we may be unable to consistently achieve, subjecting us to penalties or other costs. Further, a material breach by us, such as a persistent failure to achieve required service levels, might permit the customer to exit the contract prior to its expiration, without additional compensation to us;

•

customer retention is critical to our future growth rates. Customers in a subscriptions and transactions arrangement may elect not to renew their contractual arrangement with us upon expiration, or they may attempt to renegotiate pricing or other contractual terms at the point of (or prior to) renewal on terms that are less favorable to us; and

•

there is no assurance that the solutions we offer on a subscriptions and transactions basis, including new revenue models that we may introduce, will receive broad marketplace acceptance, in which case our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

Security breaches could have a significant adverse effect on our business

Our SaaS-based offerings receive, process, transmit and store highly sensitive customer information. Certain of our solutions also facilitate the transfer of cash. Unauthorized access to our systems, such as by outside hacking, could result in the theft, destruction or misappropriation of confidential information. Any such occurrence could have a long and significant impact on our business including damage to our reputation and financial liability to us, such as through the imposition of fines or monetary damages. Any such event would likely have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

An increasing number of large and more complex customer contracts, or contracts that involve the delivery of services over contractually committed periods, generally delays the timing of our revenue recognition and, in the short-term, may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and the market price of our stock

Due to an increasing number of large and more complex customer contracts, particularly in our Banking Solutions segment, we have experienced, and will likely continue to experience, delays in the timing of our revenue recognition. These arrangements generally require significant implementation work, product customization and modification and systems integration and user acceptance testing. This results in the recognition of revenue over the period of project completion which normally spans several quarters. Delays in revenue recognition on these contracts, including delays that result from customer decisions to halt or slow down a long-term project due to their own staffing or other challenges, could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and the market price of our common stock. Additionally, large bank and financial institution customer opportunities are very competitive and take significant time and effort to consummate. Accordingly, we could in the future face greater sales costs, longer sales cycles and less predictability with respect to these orders. If we are unable to continue to generate new large orders on a regular basis, our business operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition

Part of our operating strategy is to identify and pursue strategic acquisitions that can expand our geographical footprint or complement our existing product functionality. In March 2012 we acquired substantially all of the assets and related operations of Intuit’s commercial banking business. In November 2011, we acquired IDT, with operations in the UK. During our prior fiscal year, we acquired Allegient, with operations in the United States and Canada, SMA and DDL, which are both UK-based businesses, and substantially all of the assets of Business Information Technology Group (BITG), which has locations in Australia and New Zealand. We may in the future acquire or make investments in other businesses, products or technologies. Any acquisition or strategic investment we have made or may make in the future may entail numerous risks, including the following:

•

difficulties integrating acquired operations, personnel, technologies or products;

•

inability to retain key personnel of the acquired company;

•

inadequacy of existing operating, financial and management information systems to support the combined organization or new operations;

•

write-offs related to impairment of goodwill and other acquired assets;

•

entrance into markets in which we have no or limited prior experience or knowledge;

•

diversion of management’s focus from our core business concerns;

•

dilution to existing stockholders and our earnings per share;

•

incurrence of substantial debt;

•

exposure to litigation from third parties, including claims related to intellectual property or other assets acquired or liabilities assumed; and

•

failure to realize anticipated benefits of the transaction due to the above factors or other factors.

Any such difficulties encountered as a result of any merger, acquisition or strategic investment could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

As a result of our acquisitions, we could be subject to significant future write-offs with respect to intangible assets, which may adversely affect our future operating results

We review our intangible assets periodically for impairment. At March 31, 2012, the carrying value of our goodwill and our other intangible assets was approximately $100 million and $85 million, respectively. While we reviewed our goodwill and our other intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 and concluded that there was no impairment, we could be subject to future impairment charges with respect to these intangible assets or intangible assets arising as a result of acquisitions in future periods. Any such charges, to the extent occurring, would likely have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our fixed costs may lead to operating results below analyst or investor expectations if our revenues are below anticipated levels, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock

A significant percentage of our expenses, particularly personnel and facilities costs, are relatively fixed and based in part on anticipated revenue levels which can be difficult to predict. A decline in revenues without a corresponding and timely slowdown in expense growth could negatively affect our business. Significant revenue shortfalls in any quarter may cause significant declines in operating results since we may be unable to reduce spending in a timely manner.

Quarterly or annual operating results that are below the expectations of public market analysts could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in our operating results include the following:

•

economic conditions, which may affect our customers’ and potential customers’ budgets for information technology expenditures;

•

the timing of orders and longer sales cycles;

•

the timing of product implementations, which are highly dependent on customers’ resources and discretion;

•

the incurrence of costs relating to the integration of software products and operations in connection with acquisitions of technologies or businesses; and

•

the timing and market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by either us or our competitors.

Because of these factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful.

Our mix of products and services could have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common stock

The gross margins for our products and services vary considerably. Our software revenues generally yield significantly higher gross margins than do our subscriptions and transactions, service and maintenance and equipment and supplies revenue streams. If software license revenues or recurring revenues were to significantly decline in any future period, or if the mix of our products and services in any given period did not match our expectations, our results of operations and the market price of our common stock could be significantly adversely affected.

We face risks associated with our international operations that could harm our financial condition and results of operations

A significant percentage of our revenues have been generated by our international operations and our future growth rates and success are in part dependent on our continued growth and success in international markets. We have operations in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany. As is the case with most international operations, the success and profitability of these operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that include, in addition to the risks our business as a whole faces, the following:

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;

•

differing regulatory and industry standards and certification requirements;

•

the complexities of foreign tax jurisdictions;

•

reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and

•

import or export licensing requirements.

Our business and operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

We conduct a substantial portion of our operations outside of the US, principally in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, approximately 40% of our revenues and 30% of our operating expenses, respectively, were attributable to customers or operations located outside of North America. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year, the foreign currency exchange rates of the British Pound to the US Dollar increased slightly. We anticipate that foreign currency exchange rates may continue to fluctuate in the near term. Appreciation of the US Dollar against the British Pound, European Euro or Australian Dollar will have the impact of reducing both our revenues and operating expenses.

A significant percentage of our revenues to date have come from our payment and document management offerings and our future performance will depend on continued market acceptance of these solutions

A significant percentage of our revenues to date have come from the license and maintenance of our payment and document management offerings and sales of associated products and services. Any significant reduction in demand for our payment and document management offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our future performance could depend on the following factors:

•

retaining and expanding our software maintenance and subscriptions and transactions customer bases, which are significant sources of our recurring revenue;

•

continued market acceptance of our payment and document management offerings;

•

our ability to introduce enhancements to meet the market’s evolving needs for secure payments and cash management solutions; and

•

acceptance of our solutions that are offered on a SaaS basis.

Because we recognize subscriptions and transactions revenue from our customers over the term of their agreements, downturns or upturns in sales of our subscriptions and transactions based offerings may not be immediately reflected in our operating results

We recognize subscriptions and transactions revenue over the terms of our customer agreements. As a result, most of our quarterly subscriptions and transactions revenue results from agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a shortfall in orders for our subscriptions and transactions based solutions in any quarter may not significantly reduce our subscriptions and transactions revenue for that quarter, but could negatively affect revenue in future quarters. In addition, we may be unable to quickly reduce our cost structure in response to a decrease in subscriptions and transactions orders. Accordingly, the effect of downturns in sales of our subscriptions and transactions based solutions may not be fully

reflected in our results of operations until future periods. A subscriptions and transactions model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our subscriptions and transactions revenue through additional sales in any one period, as revenue is generally recognized over the applicable subscription term.

We face significant competition in our targeted markets, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources, which may result in price reductions and decreased demand for our products

The markets in which we compete are intensely competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. We compete with a wide range of companies ranging from small start-up enterprises with limited resources which compete principally on the basis of technology features or specific customer relationships, to large companies which can leverage significant customer bases and financial resources. Some competitors in our targeted markets have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, and sales and marketing resources, greater brand recognition and a larger installed customer base than we do. We expect to face additional competition as other established and emerging companies enter the markets we address. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships to expand their product offerings and to offer more comprehensive solutions. This growing competition may result in price reductions of our products and services, reduced revenues and gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We depend on employees who are skilled in e-commerce, payment, cash and document management and invoice presentment methodology and Web and other technologies

Our success depends upon the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and technical and sales employees who are skilled in e-commerce, payment methodology and regulation, and Web, database and network technologies. Our current key employees and potential employees whom we seek to hire in order to support our growth are in high demand within the marketplace and many competitors, customers and industry organizations are able to offer considerably higher compensation packages than we currently provide. The loss of one or more of our key employees or our failure to attract and retain sufficient qualified employees to grow our business could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we do not maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our employees and our employees are generally free to terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to develop new and enhanced products, services and strategic partner relationships

The markets in which we compete are subject to rapid technological change and our success is dependent on our ability to develop new and enhanced products, services and strategic partner relationships that meet evolving market needs. Trends that could have a critical impact on us include:

•

evolving industry standards, mandates and laws, such as those mandated by the National Automated Clearing House Association and the Association for Payment Clearing Services;

•

rapidly changing technology, which could cause our software to become suddenly outdated or could require us to make our products compatible with new database or network systems;

•

developments and changes relating to the Web that we must address as we maintain existing products and introduce any new products; and

•

the loss of any of our key strategic partners who serve as a valuable network from which we can leverage industry expertise and respond to changing marketplace demands.

There can be no assurance that technological advances will not cause our products to become obsolete or uneconomical. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products in a timely and successful manner, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Similarly, if our new products do not receive general marketplace acceptance, or if the sales cycle of any of our new products significantly delays the timing of revenue recognition, our results could be negatively affected.

We rely on certain third-party computer software, which may be difficult to replace or could cause errors or failures to our solutions

We rely on computer software licensed from third-parties in order to deliver certain of our solutions. This software may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of the right to use any of this software could result in delays in our ability to provide our solutions until equivalent technology is either developed by us or acquired from another third-party, if available, which may not be possible on a cost effective basis. In addition, errors or defects in third-party software that is used in conjunction with our solutions could adversely affect the operation of our products.

Our business could be subject to future legal or regulatory actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results

Our software products and SaaS offerings facilitate the transmission of business documents and information including, in some cases, confidential data related to payments, invoices and cash management. Our Web-based software products and certain of our SaaS offerings transmit this data electronically, and we are therefore subject to laws, regulations and industry standards regarding security, data protection and electronic commerce. While we believe that we are in compliance with applicable current regulatory requirements, there can be no assurance that future legal or regulatory actions will not impact us. To the extent that current or future regulatory or legal developments mandate a change in any of our products or services, require us to comply with any industry specific licensing or compliance requirements, alter the demand for or the competitive environment of our products and services or require us to make material changes to our internal operating, financial or management information systems, we might not be able to respond to such requirements in a timely or cost effective manner. If this were to occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Any unanticipated performance problems or bugs in our product offerings could have a material adverse effect on our future financial results

If the products that we offer and introduce do not sustain marketplace acceptance, our future financial results could be adversely affected. Any unanticipated performance problems or bugs that we have not been able to detect could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from our other development efforts, negative publicity regarding us and our products, harm to our customer relationships and exposure to potential liability claims. In addition, if our products do not enjoy wide commercial success our long-term business strategy will be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business

We are a highly automated business and we rely on our network infrastructure, various software applications and many internal technology systems and data networks for our customer support, development, sales and marketing and accounting and finance functions. Further, our SaaS and hosted offerings provide services to our customers from data center facilities in several different US and international locations. Some of these data centers are operated by third-parties, and we have limited control over those facilities. A disruption or failure of these systems or data centers in the event of a natural disaster, telecommunications failure, power outage, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack, or other catastrophic event could cause system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in product development, breaches of data security and loss of critical data. Such an event could also prevent us from fulfilling customer orders or maintaining certain service level requirements, particularly in respect of our SaaS offerings. While we have developed certain disaster recovery plans and maintain backup systems to reduce the potentially adverse effect of such events, a catastrophic event that resulted in the destruction or disruption of any of our data centers or our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Security breaches or computer viruses could harm our business by disrupting the delivery of services, damaging our reputation, or resulting in material liability to us

Our products, particularly our SaaS and Web-based offerings, may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. In the course of providing services to our customers, we may collect, store, process or transmit sensitive and confidential information, including information that may be subject to privacy and data protection laws. A security breach affecting us could damage our reputation and result in the loss of customers and potential customers. Such an event could also result in material financial liability to us.

Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved to facilitate e-commerce. We may need to spend significant capital or other resources to ensure ongoing protection against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security concerns. Additionally, computer viruses could infiltrate our systems and disrupt our business and our provision of services, particularly our SaaS offerings. Any such event could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We could incur substantial costs resulting from warranty claims or product liability claims

Our product agreements typically contain provisions that afford customers a degree of warranty protection in the event that our products fail to conform to written specifications. These agreements typically contain provisions intended to limit the nature and extent of our risk of warranty and product liability claims. A court, however, might interpret these terms in a limited way or conclude that part or all of these terms are unenforceable. Furthermore, some of our agreements are governed by non-US law and there is a risk that foreign law might provide us less or different protection. While we maintain general liability insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, we cannot be sure that our existing coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in amounts sufficient to cover one or more large claims.

Our products are used to facilitate the transmission of sensitive business documents and other confidential data related to payments, cash management and invoices. Further, some of our products facilitate the actual transfer of cash or transmit instructions that initiate cash transfer. Although we have not experienced any material warranty or product liability claims to date, a warranty or product liability claim, whether or not meritorious, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and our resources, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We could be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and could be subject to litigation regarding our intellectual property rights, which could cause serious harm to our business

We rely upon a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws and non-disclosure and other intellectual property contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. However, we cannot assure that our patents, pending applications for patents that may issue in the future, or other intellectual property will be of sufficient scope and strength to provide meaningful protection to our technology or any commercial advantage to us, or that the patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. We enter into agreements with our employees and customers that seek to limit and protect the distribution of proprietary information. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that such rights will remain protected or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.

Litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights is common in the United States and in other countries where we operate. We may be a party to litigation in the future to protect our intellectual property rights or as a result of an alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of others. Any such claims, whether or not meritorious, could require us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, delay product implementations, develop non-infringing intellectual property or acquire licenses to intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claim. These claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We engage off-shore development resources which may not be successful and which may put our intellectual property at risk

In order to optimize our research and development capabilities and to meet development timeframes, we contract with off-shore third-party vendors in India and elsewhere for certain development activities. While our experience to date with these resources has been positive, there are a number of risks associated with off-shore development activities that include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

less efficient and less accurate communication and information flow as a consequence of time, distance and language barriers between our primary development organization and the off-shore resources, resulting in delays or deficiencies in development efforts;

•

disruption due to political or military conflicts around the world;

•

misappropriation of intellectual property from departing personnel, which we may not readily detect; and

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations that could adversely impact the cost advantages intended from these agreements.

To the extent that these or unforeseen risks occur, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our charter and under Delaware law could hinder a takeover attempt

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware prohibiting, under some circumstances, publicly-held Delaware corporations from engaging in business combinations with some

stockholders for a specified period of time without the approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding voting stock. Such provisions could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, even if such events could be beneficial, in the short-term, to the interests of our stockholders. In addition, such provisions could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions relating to the limitation of liability and indemnification of our directors and officers, dividing our board of directors into three classes of directors serving three-year terms and providing that our stockholders can take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders.

We may incur significant costs from class action litigation as a result of expected volatility in our common stock

In the past, companies that have experienced market price volatility of their stock have been the targets of securities class action litigation. In August 2001, we were named as a party in one of the so-called laddering securities class action suits relating to the underwriting of our initial public offering. In April 2008, we acquired Optio Software, which was also a party in a laddering securities class action suit. Although the laddering class action suits to which we and Optio were parties have been dismissed, we could incur substantial costs and experience a diversion of our management’s attention and resources in connection with future class action litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
