There were no significant non-cash transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005 the following significant non-cash transactions occurred:

• The tax basis of our assets increased as a result of our initial public offering creating a deferred tax asset of $488,719 based upon our estimated tax rate at June 30, 2005. We entered into a tax receivable agreement with Cendant Corporation, our former parent company, (see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies”), which provided that we will make total payments estimated at $415,411 as of June 30, 2005. The difference between the initial asset recorded and the initial liability payable to our former parent company was recorded as $73,308 of stockholders’ equity.

• We issued 40,000 shares of common stock upon the completion of our initial public offering and as part of the conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. We did not receive any proceeds from this offering as our former parent company received all common stock proceeds from the offering concurrent with its sale of 100 percent of its interest in us.

• We issued 0.1 shares of preferred stock as part of the conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. We did not receive any proceeds from this offering as our former parent company received all preferred stock proceeds from this conversion.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

     Wright Express Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” the “company” or “Wright Express”) is a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the vehicle fleet industry. We utilize our wholly owned bank subsidiary, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”), a Utah-chartered industrial bank that is regulated, supervised and regularly examined by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and filed with the SEC on March 15, 2006.

     In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly results of the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any future interim period.

     Our results of operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 22, 2005, which are included in the amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005, reflect our historical results of operations and cash flows as a business unit divested by Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”), our former parent company, in the initial public offering (“IPO”). As a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005, may not necessarily reflect our results of operations and cash flows in the future or what our results of operations and cash flows would have been had we been a stand-alone public company during these periods. See Note 7, “Related Parties,” for a more detailed description of transactions with our former parent company.

     Certain amounts have been reclassified in our condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation.

2. Stock-based Compensation

     We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-based Payment,” on July 1, 2005, and chose to transition using the “modified prospective” method. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,” which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees be recognized in earnings based on their grant date fair values over the corresponding service period and also requires an estimation of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. We did not recognize any additional compensation cost associated with unvested share-based awards as a result of this adoption.

Page 7 of 29

WRIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

     Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), we accounted for stock-based compensation using the fair value method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS 123. We transitioned to SFAS 123 under the provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 provided alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting. As a result, we expensed employee stock awards over their vesting periods based upon the fair value of the award on the date of the grant.

     Prior to February 22, 2005, Cendant granted stock options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to our employees. On February 22, 2005 we converted substantially all vested and unvested Cendant stock options into vested options to purchase our common stock. We recorded a one-time charge of $1,524 for this conversion during the six months ended June 30, 2005. This charge is included in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

     The table below summarizes the conversion-date fair value of stock options converted at February 22, 2005 and the assumptions used to calculate the conversion-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

		Weighted
Weighted average	Weighted average	average			Weighted average			Weighted average	Weighted average
expected life	exercise price	volatility			risk-free rate			dividend yield	fair value
5.3 years	$13.72 per share		30.00	%		3.38	%	0.00%	$7.29 per share

     Employee stock options granted by Cendant generally had a 10-year term, vested ratably over periods ranging from two to five years and were granted with exercise prices at the then-current fair market value. All Cendant stock options converted to options to purchase our common stock have the remainder of their original lives, are fully vested and were converted such that an employee received 1.27 options to purchase our common stock for each Cendant stock option. The activity of the stock option plan related to our employees consisted of:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2006					2005
				Weighted					Weighted
				Average					Average
				Exercise					Exercise
	Options			Price		Options			Price
Wright Express stock options
Outstanding at January 1		530		$	13.72		—			—
Granted		—			—		555		$	13.72
Exercised		(89	)	$	13.71		(5	)	$	13.13
Outstanding at June 30		441		$	13.73		550		$	13.72

     We currently do not anticipate issuing stock options in the future.

     Also on February 22, 2005, we converted all Cendant RSUs into shares of our common stock. We recorded a one-time charge associated with the conversion of Cendant RSUs into Wright Express common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2005, totaling $3,955. This charge has been included in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

     Under our stock-based compensation programs, we issued RSUs and Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) during the first six months of 2006 and RSUs during 2005. The RSUs and PSUs vest over four

WRIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

years. The number of PSUs that will be received is based on year-end financial results and corporate objectives. The number of PSUs issued may vary from 0 percent up to 200 percent, or up to 126 shares, depending on the achievement of corporate goals, at a weighted average grant price of $27.66 per share. The RSU activity under the 2005 Wright Express Corporation Equity and Incentive Plan and the 2006 annual grant related to our employees consisted of:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2006					2005
				Weighted					Weighted
	Restricted			Average Grant		Restricted			Average Grant
	Stock Units			Price		Stock Units			Price
Wright Express RSUs

⁽¹⁾ Includes RSUs withheld for income tax purposes. We paid cash on behalf of employees to offset the minimum tax liabilities in lieu of issuing common stock.

     We recorded compensation expense related to PSUs and RSUs issued in 2006 of $200 during the second quarter of 2006. The expense related to the PSUs is recorded at 100 percent, or 63 shares, in anticipation of us achieving our corporate goals. These expenses are recorded in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

     We recorded compensation expense related to previously issued RSUs of $646 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $1,353 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $354 during the three months ended June 30, 2005, and $450 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. These expenses are recorded in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

          We had federal funds lines of credit of $110,000 at June 30, 2006 and at December 31, 2005. The average rate on the outstanding lines of credit was 5.50 percent at June 30, 2006 and 4.35 percent at December 31, 2005.

6. Derivative Instruments

          We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices and to reduce the impact of interest rate volatility on earnings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Gains or losses related to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recognized currently in earnings. Our interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and, accordingly, the change in fair value associated with the effective portion of these derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if any, is reported currently in earnings. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings.

     Fuel Price Derivatives

          Our current derivative instruments are in the form of put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and the retail price of diesel fuel, which expire on a monthly basis through June 2008. The Options are intended to reduce the volatility that changes to retail fuel prices during any given month would have on our cash flows subject to fuel price variations.

          In January 2005, we entered into Options based on the then current market price of unleaded gasoline, which were to expire on a monthly basis through December 2006. The contracts that extended past March 2005 were terminated in January 2005 by our former parent company and resulted in a realized loss of $8,450.

          Realized losses on the Options totaled $13,047 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $19,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to realized losses of $3,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and $13,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The 2005 realized losses included the realized loss from termination of the original Options. We recognized unrealized losses of $7,462 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $8,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We recognized unrealized gains of $6,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and unrealized losses of $27,821 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, for the change in fair value of the Options which has been recorded in net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Management intends to hold the Options until their scheduled expirations.

     Interest Rate Swaps

          In April 2005, we entered into two interest rate swaps (the “Swaps”) for the purpose of hedging the variability on a portion of the future interest payments on our variable rate debt instruments. The following table presents information about the Swaps:

Weighted average fixed base rate		3.85	%
Aggregate notional amount of the Swaps:
For the period April 24, 2006 through October 22, 2006	$	100,000
For the period October 23, 2006 through April 23, 2007	$	80,000

          Realized gains on the Swaps totaled $304 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $506 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Realized losses on these derivative instruments totaled $210 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. These amounts have been recorded in financing interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Unrealized losses on the Swaps totaled $69 ($20 net of tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and an unrealized gain of $85 ($48 net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Unrealized gains on the Swaps totaled $21 ($13 net of tax) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005. These amounts have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 and 2005. No ineffectiveness was reclassified into earnings during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

     Tax receivable agreement

          As of June 30, 2006, our deferred tax asset related to the separation from Cendant is recorded at $487,367. Under section 338 of the Internal Revenue Code, our separation from Cendant is a qualified stock purchase and entitles us to additional tax benefits this year and in future periods. We are obligated, pursuant to our Tax Receivable Agreement with Cendant, to pay to Cendant, on an after-tax basis, 85 percent of the amount of tax we save for each tax period as a result of these increased tax benefits. As of June 30, 2006, we have recorded $414,798 in obligation to Cendant as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

     Litigation

          On October 14, 2003, Enron Corporation (“Enron”) filed preference and fraudulent transfer claims against FSC in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking the return of $2,779 paid to us prior to the Enron bankruptcy. Enron added additional claims for allegedly preferential transfers and sought an additional $526 by way of an amended complaint on December 1, 2003. We filed an answer on July 30, 2004 asserting various defenses. On March 31, 2006, the parties filed a joint motion seeking Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a settlement agreement, under which: (i) FSC would pay Enron $705; (ii) Enron would grant FSC, pursuant to section 502(h) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, an allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim in the fixed, liquidated amount of $705; and (iii) the parties would agree to mutually release all claims arising under Chapter 5 of the United States Bankruptcy Code that the parties have against each other. On April 27, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the settlement. On May 12, 2006, we paid Enron $705. We then sold our 502(h) claim on May 15, 2006 in exchange for $268.

10. Segment Information

          Our chief decision maker evaluates the operating results of our reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined as net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, losses in 2005 related to the termination of the derivative contracts that extended past March 2005 (as discussed in Note 6, “Derivative Instruments”) and stock-based compensation costs related to the conversion and vesting of equity instruments in conjunction with our IPO in 2005 (as discussed in Note 2, “Stock-based Compensation”). Our presentation of adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of the operating segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Wright Express’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

NM – The result of the calculation is not meaningful.

          Payment processing revenue increased $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to a 30 percent increase in the average price per gallon of fuel as well as a 12 percent increase in the number of payment processing transactions. Payment processing revenue increased $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to a 26 percent increase in the average price per gallon of fuel as well as a 14 percent increase in the number of payment processing transactions.

          Transaction processing transactions decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2006, by approximately 0.8 million transactions and by approximately 1.3 million transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These decreases are due primarily from two strategic relationships converting 1.4 million transactions from transaction processing to payment processing during 2006. Transaction revenue remained relatively flat for the comparable periods.

          Finance fees increased $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and increased $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher average daily account receivable balances subject to late fees, due to elevated fuel prices and an increase in payment processing transactions.

Page 18 of 29

          Salary and other personnel expense increased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and decreased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was due to a $0.6 million increase in the sales expenses, as a result of our growth in vehicles serviced. This increase in sales was due primarily to an increase in commissions of $0.2 million and additional staffing of $0.3 million. Additional employees added in the finance and legal departments, due to operating as a stand-alone, publicly traded company, increased salary and other personnel expense $0.3 million. Stock compensation increased $0.5 million during the second quarter as we expensed RSUs and PSUs related to our employee incentive programs. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2006, in salary and other personnel expense was due to the non-recurring charge of $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2005 associated with the issuance of common stock in exchange for Cendant restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for Cendant stock options held by our employees in 2005. The decrease was offset by increases in sales of $1.3 million, primarily due to $0.6 million in commissions, $0.3 million in salary and contractor expense and $0.4 million in other expenses associated with our growth in vehicles serviced.

           Service fees increased $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with management consulting fees and professional service fees in connection with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness and other management initiatives.

          Total credit loss as a percentage of total expenditures on payment processing transactions declined 0.5 basis points to 10.9 during the three months ended June 30, 2006, and declined 0.6 basis points to 13.2 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2006, increased $0.8 million and increased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increases in our accounts receivable balance due to higher fuel prices per gallon.

          Operating interest expense increased $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $4.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in the prior year, as we incurred fees to finance our receivables that pertain to our funded payment processing transactions. The increase in our interest expense is also due to an increase in weighted average interest rates to 4.8 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 3.2 percent for the same period in the prior year. The weighted average interest rates increased to 4.6 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to 3.0 percent for the same period in the prior year. Our average debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $394.0 million, as compared to our average debt balance of $290.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Our average debt balance for the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $364.0 million, as compared to our average debt balance of $260.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Changes in interest rates could create volatility in our operating interest expense.

          Finance interest expense is related to the corporate credit facility that we entered into in February 2005 and the preferred stock that we issued as part of our IPO. Finance interest expense remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower balances at higher interest rates. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $1.9 million over the same period in the prior year. Interest expense for 2005 reflects approximately four months of expense as compared to the six months of expense in 2006. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006, was an increase in the one-month LIBOR rate.

          We own fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments that we purchased on a periodic basis to manage the impact that volatility in fuel prices has on our cash flows. Our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Gains and losses on our fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments will affect our net income. Of the total losses, approximately $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and approximately $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were net realized losses. We recognized unrealized losses of approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and unrealized gains of $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. We recognized unrealized losses of approximately $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and recognized unrealized losses of $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

     The GAAP effective tax rate was 31.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and 33.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Quarterly fluctuations in the effective tax rate are due to our unrealized losses

Page 19 of 29

on our fuel derivative instruments and the impact of these losses on the state component of our effective tax rate. As the price of fuel changes and impacts our fuel price derivatives, our effective tax rate will fluctuate.

          Our purchase card product continues to drive growth in our MasterCard segment. Our MasterCard purchase volume grew by over $100 million in the second quarter as our Jackson Hewitt stored-value program was seasonal and only impacted comparability for the first three months of the year.

          The increase in payment processing revenue in 2006 is directly attributed to growth in our purchase card product. The decrease in other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006, is primarily the result of the loss of the Jackson Hewitt stored value program in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized $0.2 million of net income related to the Jackson Hewitt stored value program.

          As a member bank of MasterCard, our wholly-owned bank subsidiary received $0.5 million from MasterCard as part of MasterCard’s Initial Public Offering. These proceeds were included in other revenues. We currently own 27,578 Shares of MasterCard Class B Stock.

          Operating expenses decreased by $0.2 million during the second quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the credit loss reserve of $0.3 million, as a result of adjusting our loss estimates based on actual charge-off experience. Previously, our loss estimates were based on publicly available loss data for similar credit products.

           The decrease in expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006, versus the same period in 2005 is primarily due to a decrease of $2.7 million in service fees related to the Jackson Hewitt stored value program, offset by fees related to the growth in our purchasing card product.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

     The following table summarizes our financial position at June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005:

     Net accounts receivable have increased as a result of our payment processing transaction growth and significantly higher fuel prices that increased our average expenditure per payment processing transaction. As a result of our higher accounts receivable balance, accounts payable, deposits and borrowed federal funds have increased to fund this balance.

     Our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006, used approximately $28 million of cash. This amount was higher than the decrease of approximately $4 million for the same period a year ago. Cash used by operations increased period over period by approximately $60 million as the accounts receivable balance has increased due to increases in fuel prices and number of fuel transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we had a $15 million security mature which resulted in cash from investing activities of $8 million compared to cash used for investing activities of approximately $6 million for the same period a year ago. During the six months of 2006 we paid down $21.5 million in principal of our financing debt.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately $6 million was used for capital expenditures primarily to enhance our product features and functionality and to acquire information systems and personal computer office equipment. This amount was consistent with capital expenditures during the same period a year ago.

     Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs during the next 12 months. We have three main sources of liquidity in addition to cash from operating activities.

     We utilize certificates of deposit to finance the accounts receivable of our bank subsidiary, FSC. FSC issues certificates of deposit in denominations of $100,000 in various maturities ranging between three months and three years and with effective annual fixed rates ranging from 4.2% to 5.7%. As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately $410 million of certificates of deposit outstanding. Certificate of deposit borrowings are subject to regulatory capital requirements.

     We also utilize federal funds lines of credit to supplement the financing of the accounts receivable of our bank subsidiary. Our federal funds lines of credit were increased to $130 million in July of 2006.

     In addition, we have a revolving line-of-credit facility agreement (“Revolver”) that provides a total available line-of-credit of $130 million. At June 30, 2006 we had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver of $48 million.

     Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants that limit

Page 21 of 29

the Company’s ability to pay dividends, sell or transfer all or substantially all of our property or assets, incur more indebtedness or make guarantees, grant or incur liens on our assets, make investments, loans, advances or acquisitions, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, enter into sales or leasebacks and change our accounting policies or reporting practices. FSC is not subject to certain of these restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions at June 30, 2006.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Many accounting estimates and assumptions involved in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have a material impact on reported financial condition and operating performance and on the comparability of such reported information over different reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under varying assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We regard an accounting estimate or assumption underlying our financial statements to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and therefore a “critical accounting estimate” where:

• The nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

• The impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.

  Reserve for Credit Losses

     Our reserve for credit losses is an estimate of the amounts currently recorded in gross accounts receivable that will ultimately not be collected. The reserve reduces the accounts receivable balances as reported in the financial statements to their net realizable value. Management estimates these reserves based on assumptions and other considerations, including a review of accounts receivable balances which become past due, past loss experience, customer payment patterns, current economic conditions, known fraud activity in the portfolio and industry averages.

     Management utilizes a model to calculate the level of the reserve for credit losses which includes such factors as:

• a six-month rolling average of actual charge-off experience;

• amounts currently due;

• the age of the balances; and

• estimated bankruptcy rates.

     In addition to the model, management uses their judgment to ensure that the reserve for credit losses that is established is reasonable and appropriate.

     Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate the reserve for credit losses are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the reserves, the resulting change could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, and in certain situations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Page 22 of 29

     The following table summarizes the impact that differences in estimated loss rates would have on the reserve for credit losses at June 30, 2006:

Change in Reserve and Related Provision (in thousands)	Impact
Balance as reported June 30, 2006	$	5,188
Increase in loss rate by:
10%	$	324
20%	$	648
30%	$	971

  Income Taxes

     In calculating our effective tax rate we apportion income among various state tax jurisdictions. Although we believe that the estimates and judgments utilized to calculate the effective tax rate are reasonable, actual results may differ by a material amount.

     Significant judgment is required in determining if any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets is necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. We have not currently recorded a valuation allowance based on the analysis and tax planning performed to date.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. When used in this quarterly report, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or the performance by us to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers:

• Our revenues are largely dependent on fuel prices, which are prone to significant volatility.

• Our derivative instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss if we determine it necessary to unwind our position prior to the expiration of the contract.

• Our failure to respond to competitive pressures with reduced fees or increased levels of capabilities and services.

• Major oil companies who have not traditionally provided universally accepted transaction processing may issue competing products and information management services specifically tailored to their fleet customers.

• Our failure to maintain or renew key agreements could adversely affect the number of fleet customer relationships we maintain or the number of locations that accept our payment processing services. In this regard, our top five strategic relationships are two of the largest North American oil companies and three of the largest domestic fleet management companies.

• A decrease in demand for fuel as a result of a general downturn in the economic conditions in the United States or an increase in popularity of automobiles powered by alternative fuel sources, such as “hybrid” vehicle technology.

• Our failure to expand our technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as our competitors.

• Our failure to adequately assess and monitor credit risks of our customers could result in a significant increase in our bad debt expense.

• The actions of regulatory bodies, including bank regulators.

• Acts of terrorism, war, or civil disturbance.

• A decline in general economic conditions.

Page 23 of 29

• Our ability to achieve earnings forecasts, which are generated based on projected volumes. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the projected level of fuel and service transactions.

• The uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the risk factors included inItem 1Aof our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

     The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     During the three months ended June 30, 2006, there were no changes to accounting policies that had or are expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement is effective after the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial statements.

     In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statements No.140.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective after the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

     The following Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2006.

Commodity Price Risk

     The following table reflects the estimated quarterly effect of changes in the price of gas, without the effect of our fuel price derivative instruments:

(in thousands, except per gallon data)
Change in price per gallon	$	(0.30	)	$	(0.20	)	$	(0.10	)	$	0.10	$	0.20	$	0.30
Effect on:
Revenue	$	(5,931.0	)	$	(3,954.0	)	$	(1,977.0	)	$	1,977.0	$	3,954.0	$	5,931.0
Expenses		(1,008.3	)		(672.2	)		(336.1	)		336.1		672.2		1,008.3
Operating income	$	(4,922.7	)	$	(3,281.8	)	$	(1,640.9	)	$	1,640.9	$	3,281.8	$	4,922.7

Page 24 of 29

     We use derivative instruments to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices. We enter into put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which expire on a monthly basis according to the schedule below. The Options are intended to lock in a range of prices during any given quarter on a portion of our forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations. Our fuel-price risk management program is designed to purchase derivative instruments to manage the Company’s fuel-price-related earnings exposure going forward. We plan to continue locking in about 90 percent of our earnings exposure every quarter, on a rolling basis. The following table presents information about the Options as of June 30, 2006:

				Weighted Average Price(b)
	Percentage(a)			Floor		Ceiling
For the period July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006(c)		90	%	$	1.88	$	1.95
For the period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007		90	%	$	2.29	$	2.36
For the period July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007		90	%	$	2.32	$	2.39
For the period October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007		90	%	$	2.41	$	2.48
For the period January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008		60	%	$	2.48	$	2.55
For the period April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008		30	%	$	2.61	$	2.67

(a)	Represents the percentage of the Company’s forecasted revenue subject to fuel price variations to which the Options pertain in 2006 and the percentage of the Company’s forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations to which the Options pertain in 2007 and beyond.
(b)	Weighted average price is the Company’s estimate of the retail price equivalent of the underlying strike price of the Options.
(c)	Options that expire during 2006 are based only on unleaded gasoline.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     As of June 30, 2006, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out, with the participation of the Company’s management, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act (the “Act”). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. On April 17, 2006, Wright Express implemented a new general ledger system to record and report financial transactions beginning in the second quarter of 2006.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     On October 14, 2003, Enron Corporation (“Enron”) filed preference and fraudulent transfer claims against Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking the return of $2.8 million paid to us prior to the Enron bankruptcy. Enron added additional claims for allegedly preferential transfers and sought an additional $0.5 million by way of an amended complaint on December 1, 2003. We filed an answer on July 30, 2004 asserting various defenses. On March 31, 2006, the parties filed a joint motion seeking Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a settlement agreement, under which: (i) FSC would pay Enron $0.7 million; (ii) Enron would grant FSC, pursuant to section 502(h) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, an allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim in the fixed, liquidated amount of $0.7 million; and (iii) the parties would agree to mutually release all claims arising under Chapter 5 of the United States Bankruptcy Code that the parties have against each other. On April 27, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the settlement. On May 12, 2006, we paid Enron $0.7 million. We then sold our 502(h) claim on May 15, 2006 in exchange for $0.3 million.
