Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is filed by Wright Express Corporation (the “Company”) to amend the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 7, 2007 (the “Original Filing”). The Company has concluded that adjustments to its financial statements are necessary to incorporate a change in the State of Maine tax law enacted on June 7, 2007, but not identified as relevant until analyzed during the Company’s year-end closing process. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company has determined that a change in tax law shall be reflected in the period that includes the enactment date. The effect of correcting this error has been disclosed in Note 1 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

• | Item 1 (Financial Statements) to reflect changes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. | ||
• | Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) to reflect changes to Results of Operations and Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows. | ||
• | Item 4 (Controls and Procedures) to reflect management’s updated evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. |
No other significant changes have been made to the Original Filing except:
• | the items previously listed; and | ||
• | the renumbering of certain pages and notes of this report. |
This amendment is not intended to update other information presented in the Original Filing. As a result of this amendment, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits to the Original Filing, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A.

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, 2006, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007.
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 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.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We did not recognize any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in conjunction with our FIN 48 implementation. However, as we accrue for such liabilities when they arise, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

Restatement
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company has concluded that adjustments to its financial statements are necessary to incorporate a change in the State of Maine tax law enacted on June 7, 2007. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company has determined that a change in tax law should have been reflected in the period that includes the enactment date. The impact of the change in the State of Maine tax law is discussed further in Note 6, “Income Taxes.” The liability to our former shareholder, Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“Avis”), formerly Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”), has been adjusted as required under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement discussed in further detail in Note 7, “Tax Receivable Agreement.” An adjustment has also been made to additional paid-in capital to reverse excess state tax benefits from stock option exercises that had not yet been realized.
The adjustments to the Company’s previously issued financial statements as of September 30, 2007, and for the three and nine months then ended are presented below:

2. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
On August 6, 2007, we acquired a privately held company TelaPoint, Inc. (“TelaPoint”). The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, and we have accordingly allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocations are preliminary and may be revised as a result of additional information regarding liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. In connection with the fair valuing of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management performed preliminary assessments of intangible assets using customary valuation procedures and techniques. We purchased TelaPoint in order to take advantage of its browser-based supply chain software solutions for bulk petroleum distributors and retailers and to allow us the potential to diversify our revenues and broaden our customer base. TelaPoint is included in our fleet operating segment.
The following is a reconciliation of the cost of TelaPoint with the net assets acquired and the ultimate allocation to goodwill:
Consideration paid (including acquisition costs and net of cash acquired) | $ | 40,428 | ||
Net liabilities assumed | (298 | ) | ||
Software | 9,000 | |||
Customer relationships | 10,000 | |||
Trademarks | 600 | |||
Calculated goodwill | $ | 21,126 | ||
Goodwill is allocated to our operating segments as follows:

4. 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. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Gains or losses related to fuel price derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings, as they do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The instruments are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative instruments, at fair value. 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. These instruments are presented as either other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fuel Price Derivatives
We use derivative instruments to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. 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 through September 2009. 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 our fuel price-related earnings exposure. We plan to continue locking in a significant portion of our fuel price related earnings exposure every quarter on a rolling basis.

Management intends to hold the Options until their scheduled expirations.
Interest Rate Swaps
In April 2005, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements (the “2005 Swaps”) with two counterparties. The 2005 Swaps were designated as cash flow hedges intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our variable rate debt instruments. The fair value of the 2005 Swaps was recorded in other assets.
The following table presents information about the 2005 Swaps:
Weighted average fixed base rate | 3.85 | % | ||
Aggregate notional amount of the 2005 Swaps: | ||||
For the period October 24, 2005 through April 23, 2006 | $ | 120,000 | ||

For the period October 23, 2006 through April 23, 2007 | $ | 80,000 | ||
The 2005 Swaps expired on April 23, 2007.
In July 2007, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements (the “July 2007 Swaps”) with two counterparties, effective from July 23, 2007 through July 22, 2009. In addition, in August 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap arrangement (the “August 2007 Swap”) with a third counterparty. The August 2007 Swap is effective from August 22, 2007 through August 24, 2009. Both the July 2007 Swaps and the August 2007 Swap were designated as cash flow hedges intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our variable rate credit agreement. The fair value of these instruments is recorded in other assets or accrued expenses, as appropriate.

5. Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted-average shares outstanding, less weighted-average shares reacquired during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed conversion of our convertible, redeemable preferred stock and common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units. The interest expense on convertible, redeemable preferred stock is added back to net income when the related common stock equivalents are included in computing diluted earnings per common share.
Income available for common stockholders used to calculate earnings per share is as follows:

On June 7, 2007, the State of Maine enacted a law effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, which changed the State’s rules for apportioning income related to the performance of services. The new law effectively reduced taxable income or loss allocable to the State of Maine. This caused a change to the Company’s apportionment factors and has resulted in a significant decrease in the Company’s blended state income tax rate. The lower state income tax rate was applied to the cumulative temporary differences existing between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The

effect of this lower state income tax rate on the temporary differences decreased the Company’s deferred tax assets which resulted in a charge to the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, of $80,879.

7. Tax Receivable Agreement
As a consequence of the Company’s separation from Avis, the tax basis of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets increased (the “Tax Basis Increase”). This Tax Basis Increase is expected to reduce the amount of tax that the Company may pay in the future to the extent the Company generates taxable income in sufficient amounts in the future. The Company is contractually obligated, pursuant to its Tax Receivable Agreement with Avis, to remit to Avis 85 percent of any such cash savings, subject to repayment if it is determined that these savings should not have been available to the Company.
As discussed in Note 6, “Income Taxes,” the Company’s blended state income tax rate decreased in the second quarter of 2007. The lower state income tax rate contributes to a lower overall rate. The lower overall rate decreased the Company’s deferred tax assets and resulted in a charge to the provision for income taxes. The lower overall rate also decreased the expected benefit the Company will realize from the Tax Basis Increase. Accordingly, the related contractual liability to Avis recorded in connection with the Tax Receivable Agreement has decreased. This decrease resulted in non-operating income of $78,904 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. No income was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are not involved in any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, none of which we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
9. New Credit Facility
On May 22, 2007, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a lending syndication. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (a) the British Bankers Association LIBOR plus a margin of 0.45% to 1.125% based on our consolidated leverage ratio or (b) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., plus a margin of up to 0.125% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we have agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. Any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement mature on May 22, 2012, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The agreement contains certain financial covenants.
Proceeds from the Credit Agreement were used to refinance our indebtedness under an existing credit facility (the “2005 Facility”). All balances owed by us, which included $20,000 on a revolving line-of-credit and $131,000 on a term loan, under the 2005 Facility have been paid and our obligations have been satisfied.
We expensed $1,572 of unamortized loan origination fees in conjunction with the termination of the 2005 Facility. This charge has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as loss on extinguishment of debt.
The 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 our 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.
10. Segment Information
Operating segments are defined by SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, as components of an enterprise about 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 chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets.
Our chief decision maker evaluates the operating results of our reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined by the Company as net income adjusted for unrealized fair value changes of derivative instruments and the amortization of intangible assets, net of taxes. The amortization of intangible assets was included as a reconciling item from net income in the third quarter of 2007. The amortization is a result of our acquisition of TelaPoint on August 6, 2007.
We operate in two reportable segments, fleet and MasterCard. The fleet reportable segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. The fleet reportable segment derives its revenue primarily from three marketing channels — direct, co-branded and private label. The MasterCard reportable segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from two product lines — corporate charge cards and rotating accounts. The different MasterCard products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize the Company’s information management capabilities.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Financing interest expense and net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are not allocated to the MasterCard segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are also not allocated to the segments.

11. Subsequent Event
On October 23, 2007, we purchased put option contracts and sold call option contracts, designed to be a costless collar, on the price of gasoline and diesel fuel (collectively the “Options”). The Options have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 11.3 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel and will expire on a monthly basis during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009. The settlement of the Options is based upon the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway national US average diesel price and the New York Mercantile Exchange nearby unleaded gasoline contracts for the month. The Options lock in a weighted average floor price of approximately $2.75 per gallon and a weighted average ceiling price of approximately $2.80 per gallon.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We have restated our previously issued Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2007, and our previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and nine months then ended. This restatement adjusted amounts as detailed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All affected amounts and period-to-period comparisons described herein have been restated.
We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2006, the notes accompanying those financial statements as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes inItem 1ofPart Ithis report.

Summary
• | On August 6, 2007 we acquired TelaPoint, Inc. (“TelaPoint”) for approximately $40 million in cash. The acquisition was primarily financed through our existing credit facility. TelaPoint is a leading provider of browser-based supply chain software solutions for petroleum distributors and fuel retailers. Operating on a software-as-a-service business model, TelaPoint generates the majority of its revenue on a recurring basis from monthly site fees. TelaPoint’s customers include more than 20,000 retail and wholesale sites across the country, and the company has relationships with approximately 250 petroleum carriers. The majority of TelaPoint’s revenues are classified as account servicing revenue and in our fleet operating segment. |
• | Total payment processing fuel transactions increased 15 percent for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, over the same periods last year, to 53.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and to 157.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily driven by the conversion of ExxonMobil from a transaction processing program to a payment processing program in December 2006. |

• | The fuel price per gallon for payment processing transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $2.88. This was less than a 1 percent increase compared to the same period a year ago. The fuel price per gallon for payment processing transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $2.76. This was a 1 percent increase compared to the same period a year ago. Our fuel price derivatives that expired in the third quarter had a higher collar range than those of the previous comparative quarter. Specifically, there was a floor of $2.32 and a ceiling of $2.39 for the third quarter of this year compared to a floor of $1.88 and a ceiling of $1.95 for the third quarter of 2006. Predominantly as a result of the higher floor and ceiling on the derivative instruments, the realized losses were $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the realized losses of $12.9 million for the third quarter in 2006. Realized losses were $10.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the realized losses of $32.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. | |
• | Credit losses in the fleet operating segment were $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, versus $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Credit losses in the fleet operating segment were $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, versus $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The additional credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, is primarily linked to higher charge-offs due to higher fuel prices. | |
• | Total MasterCard purchase volume grew $145 million to $511 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 40 percent over the same period last year. Total MasterCard purchase volume grew $392 million to $1,360 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 41 percent over the same period last year. Growth was primarily driven by spend on single use account card, formerly referred to as the rotating purchase card product. | |
• | Our operating interest expense, which includes interest accruing on deposits and borrowed federal funds, increased to $9.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $6.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006. Operating interest expense increased to $25.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from $17.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio in December of 2006 resulted in an increase in operating interest expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior year, and a $3.2 million increase in operating interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior year. The remainder of the increase in operating interest expense for both periods was primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate and an increase in our average operating debt. |

Payment processing revenue increased $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year. Payment processing revenue increased $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to a 15 percent increase in the number of payment processing transactions during both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program in December 2006 contributed approximately two-thirds of the increase in payment processing transactions for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Transaction processing revenue decreased $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Transaction processing revenue decreased $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in revenue is due to a decrease in transaction processing transactions due to the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio from a transaction processing program to a payment processing program.

Our finance fees have increased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, over the same period in the prior year to $7.2 million, and increased $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, over the same period in the prior year to $19.1 million. Approximately $0.8 million of the increase in finance fees for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and approximately $1.7 million of the increase in finance fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, correspond to higher amounts subject to late fees as a result of the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio. The remaining increase in late fees correlates to the increase in our accounts receivable balance exclusive of the ExxonMobil accounts.
Changes in operating expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods a year ago, include the following:
• | Provision for credit losses: |
Credit losses were $3.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3.6 million for the same period last year. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions (“Fuel Expenditures”). This metric for credit losses was 10.6 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 12.5 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. Higher accounts receivable balances during 2007 have resulted in an increase to credit loss of approximately $0.7 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we specifically increased our loan loss reserves by $1.1 million for one customer.
Credit losses were $12.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $9.9 million for the same period last year. We experienced higher charge-offs during 2007, as a result of higher accounts receivable balances. The increase in accounts receivable resulted in an increase to credit loss of approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Credit losses were 13.7 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 12.9 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. The conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program resulted in less than 2 basis points of increase to expense for the nine month period. The ExxonMobil portfolio consists primarily of small fleets, which experienced higher loss rates than our other portfolios during the first quarter of 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we specifically increased our loan loss reserves by $1.1 million for one customer.
• | Operating interest expense: |
Operating interest expense increased $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Our total average operating debt balance, which consists of our deposits and borrowed federal funds, totaled $582.9 million for the third quarter of this year as compared to our total average operating debt balance of $429.9 million for the third quarter of 2006. In late December 2006, we borrowed additional operating debt to fund the $86.8 million purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio. Average operating debt related to this purchase resulted in an increase in operating interest expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The remaining increase in operating interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings to fund Fuel Expenditures, exclusive of the ExxonMobil transactions.
Operating interest expense increased $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Our total average operating debt balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, totaled $532.1 million as compared to our total average operating debt balance of $386.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Average debt related to the purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio resulted in an increase of $3.2 million in operating interest expense. An increase in weighted average interest rates to 5.2 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from 4.8 percent in same period last year resulted in an increase to operating interest expense of $1.4 million. The remaining increase in operating interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings to fund Fuel Expenditures, exclusive of the ExxonMobil transactions. Changes in interest rates may create volatility in our operating interest expense.

• | Salary and other personnel expenses increased $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. Salary and other personnel expenses increased $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. Throughout 2006 and during 2007 we added costs primarily in the sales, finance and information technology areas to support growth in our existing business and to facilitate new product offerings. Additional sales positions and the acquisition of TelaPoint also contributed to the increase in salary and other personnel expense. | ||
• | Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, and increased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase in each period is due to the addition of capital assets as we enhance our product features and functionality and the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of TelaPoint. |
Financing interest expense is related primarily to the corporate credit facility and secondarily to the preferred stock. Finance interest expense decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to same period last year. Finance interest expense decreased $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. The primary reason for this decline is the average interest rate decreased to 6.2 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 7.0 percent for the same period last year. The average interest rate decreased to 6.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 6.8 percent for the same period last year. The average debt balance decreased to $182.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $216.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The outstanding balance on our corporate credit facility at September 30, 2007, was $206.7 million. The refinancing of our debt resulted in a debt extinguishment expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
We own fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. Our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, gains and losses on our fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments affect our net income. The following table illustrates the relationship between our realized and unrealized losses, the estimated collar range and the average fuel price for each period covered:

On June 7, 2007, the State of Maine enacted a law effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, which changed the State’s rules for apportioning income related to the performance of services. The new law effectively reduced taxable income or loss allocable to the State of Maine. This caused a change to our apportionment factors and has resulted in a significant decrease in our blended state income tax rate. The lower state income tax rate was applied to the cumulative temporary differences existing between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The effect of this lower state income tax rate on the temporary differences decreased our deferred tax assets which resulted in a charge to the provision for income taxes of approximately $81 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. After taking into account the change in tax law, we anticipate that our effective tax rate for the remainder of the year will be approximately 36.7%.
The lower state income tax rate contributes to a lower overall rate. The lower overall rate decreased the expected benefit we will realize from the increased tax basis generated by our separation from Avis. Accordingly, the related contractual liability to Avis recorded in connection with the Tax Receivable Agreement has decreased. This decrease resulted in non-operating income of approximately $79 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Payment processing revenue and the related operating expenses increased due to higher MasterCard purchase volume, primarily driven by new business from our single use account card (formerly rotating account product). Offsetting a portion of the increase in payment processing revenue during 2007 was an increase in rebates as some of our customers have reached higher payout tiers. Other revenues in 2006 included $0.5 million from the proceeds of MasterCard’s initial public offering during the second quarter of 2006.
Operating expenses have increased in the following areas:
• | Service fee expenses are based on a purchase volume which has increased period over period. Continual negotiations and price breaks for higher volume tiers have resulted in decreased rates. | ||
• | Operating interest expense increased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, over the same periods in the prior year. | ||
• | The provision for credit loss was lower by $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in credit losses is primarily due to reserves related to one customer totaling approximately $1.1 million taken during the third quarter of 2006. |

Our results for the first nine months of 2007 provided approximately $11 million of cash. In comparison, we used approximately $22 million of cash for first the nine months of 2006. Significant cash flow differences between the nine months of 2007 as compared to the nine months of 2006 include:
• | Operating cash of $275 million was used to fund receivable balances for 2007 compared to $198 million for the same period a year ago – an additional usage of $77 million. Net accounts receivable have increased primarily as a result of a 15 percent increase in payment processing transactions, including the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program. | ||
• | Investing cash included approximately $40 million for the purchase of TelaPoint during the third quarter of 2007. During 2006, investing cash consisted of net maturities of available-for-sale securities of $13 million. Purchases and maturities netted to approximately zero during the first nine months of 2007. | ||
• | Deposits and borrowed federal funds provided $96 million in 2007 compared to $26 million provided during the same period a year ago – a change in cash of $70 million. During the first nine months of 2007, net cash provided by deposits, federal funds and accounts payable were used to fund a majority of our accounts receivable. | ||
• | We used approximately $30 million as part of the new share repurchase program during the first nine months of 2007. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used approximately $12 million for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are primarily to enhance product features and functionality and to acquire information systems and equipment. Capital expenditures are $4 million higher than the same period a year ago. In addition, we entered into an agreement for approximately $3 million for a software license which we capitalized. This license was financed over 3 years. We expect total capital expenditures for 2007, including the capitalized software license, to be approximately $19 to $21 million.
We utilize certificates of deposit to finance the accounts receivable of our bank subsidiary, FSC. FSC issues certificates of deposit at various maturities ranging between three months and three years and with effective annual fixed rates ranging from 4.45% to 5.45%. As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $550 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.

On May 22, 2007, we extinguished our term loan and entered into a $350 million revolving line-of-credit facility agreement with a lending syndication. At September 30, 2007 we had outstanding borrowings on the credit agreement of $206.7 million for non-portfolio related cash needs.
Our new 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 our 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. We were in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions at September 30, 2007.
Additional borrowings under the new revolving line-of-credit facility agreement may be used to fund future acquisitions, re-acquire additional shares of our common stock or fund other future non-portfolio related cash needs.
The new State of Maine tax law impacted our overall blended statutory income tax rates, the amount of our deferred tax assets, and the amount of the related contractual liability to Avis. These changes had no material impact to our liquidity or cash flows.
Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

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. 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 estimate or assumption is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for a highly uncertain matter or the susceptibility of such matter to change; and | ||
• | The impact of the estimate and assumption on our 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 our accounts receivable balances as reported in our 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; | ||
• | estimated bankruptcy rates; and, | ||
• | the absolute dollar value of the accounts receivable portfolio. |
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 that the assumptions and other considerations it uses to estimate the reserve for credit losses are appropriate. Management has been materially accurate in past assumptions. 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.
Income Taxes
In calculating our effective tax rate, we apportion income among the various state taxing jurisdictions based upon where we do business. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the judgments and estimates underlying our calculation of the effective tax rates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the effective tax rate. Changes in the location of taxable income or loss can result in significant changes in the effective tax rate. Materially different results in the amount and timing of our actual results for any period could occur if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
We make judgments regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, the carrying value of net deferred tax assets is based on the belief that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions to realize these deferred tax assets after consideration of all available positive and negative evidence. Future realization of the tax benefit of
Page 30 of 40
Table of Contents
existing deductible temporary differences or carry forwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carry back and carry forward period available under the tax law. Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projections of future taxable income excluding reversing temporary differences and carry forwards, taxable income in prior carry back years, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented to preserve the deferred tax asset, may be considered to identify possible sources of taxable income. At September 30, 2007, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $281 million of which the significant components relate to goodwill deductible for income tax purposes. Management has determined that the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax asset has met the “more likely than not” criteria established by SFAS No. 109. Thus, no valuation allowances have been established. If future taxable income differs from management’s estimate, allowances may be required and may impact our future net income.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We did not recognize any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in conjunction with our FIN 48 implementation. However, as we accrue for such liabilities when they arise, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.
Acquired Intangible Assets
We account for our purchases of acquired companies in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, and account for the related acquired intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangibles. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocate the cost of the acquired companies to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, with the remaining amount being classified into goodwill. Certain intangibles assets, such as software and customer relationships, are amortized to expense over time.
Our acquisition included intangible assets and goodwill. Our future operating performance will be impacted by future amortization of intangible assets and potential impairment charges related to goodwill or intangibles. As of September 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of approximately $40.3 million reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet related to goodwill and intangible assets of acquired companies. The allocation of the purchase price of the acquired companies to intangible assets and goodwill required management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated by the acquired assets and the appropriate discount rate for these cash flows. If different conditions should prevail, material write-downs of intangible assets and/or goodwill could occur.
As required by SFAS No. 142, in lieu of amortizing goodwill, we test goodwill for impairment periodically and record any necessary impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. We amortize our intangible assets based on the period over which an asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
Changes in Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, 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.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting
Page 31 of 40
Table of Contents
pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. We are evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our results of operations or financial position.
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. | ||
• | 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, 2006, and updated risk factors inPart II, Item 1Ain this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |

We use derivative instruments to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. The table above does not reflect the impact of these derivatives on our pre-tax income, as management cannot predict the changes in market value of these instruments. These market value changes are unrealized and have no cash impact but must be reported as unrealized gains and losses in our operating results.
We enter into put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. These contracts 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. 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 October 31, 2007:

Our fuel price derivatives for gasoline are based on a wholesale index; our fuel price derivatives for diesel fuel are based on a retail index. We earn our payment processing revenues based on retail fuel prices. Differences between the indices and the actual retail prices may create a mismatch, which may result in an increase or decrease to our realized gains and losses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the original filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. 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. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
As a result of the errors and the related restatement discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management, reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, in connection with filing this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. As a result of the material weakness relating to tax matters discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on this reevaluation, that as of September 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the tax-related material weakness discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in conjunction with management, have determined that the Company had a material weakness as of September 30, 2007, relating to the controls over accounting for income taxes. Specifically, the Company’s procedures did not operate effectively to detect changes in state tax laws and the related effects of those changes. As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is restating for the tax-related errors.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Remediation Status
Except as discussed below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company determined that it had not appropriately considered the impact of newly adopted tax legislation in Maine. The Company concluded that certain elements of its previously issued financial statements were misstated and, accordingly, as evidenced herein, has restated those financial statements.
Prior to our identification of this tax-related error, and as a result of the Company’s ongoing assessment of controls and procedures, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company engaged resources to add an additional layer of review and strengthened controls over accounting for income taxes. The Company identified the tax-related error as part of the closing process for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The Company intends to enhance its quarterly process to include such a review in the future.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the third quarter of 2007.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as provided below, there has not been a material change to the risk factors disclosed inItem 1Aof the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The first two risk factors have been updated to reflect a change in Utah law allowing control of up to 10 percent of the common stock of the Company instead of the 5 percent threshold and identify certain risks related to acquisition related activities.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
If any entity controls 10 percent or more of our common stock and such entity has caused a violation of applicable banking laws by its failure to obtain any required approvals prior to acquiring that common stock, we have the power to restrict such entity’s ability to vote shares held by it.
As owners of a Utah industrial bank, we are subject to banking regulations that require any entity that controls 10 percent or more of our common stock to obtain the prior approval of the Utah banking authorities and the federal banking regulators. A failure to comply with these requirements could result in sanctions, including the loss of our Utah industrial bank charter. Our certificate of incorporation requires that if any stockholder fails to provide us with satisfactory evidence that any required approvals have been obtained, we may, or will if required by state or federal regulators, restrict such stockholder’s ability to vote such shares with respect to any matter subject to a vote of our stockholders.
Provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and applicable banking law may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party.
Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and our rights plan contain several provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our board of directors. These provisions include, among other things, a classified board of directors, the elimination of stockholder action by written consent, advance notice for raising business or making nominations at meetings of stockholders, and “blank check” preferred stock. Blank check preferred stock enables our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with such special dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion, and rights to dividends and proceeds in a liquidation that are senior to the common stock, as our board of directors may determine. These provisions may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting common stock. We also are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law, which could delay, deter or prevent us from entering into an acquisition, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder unless specific conditions are met. These provisions also may delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer, proxy contest or other transaction that might otherwise result in our stockholders receiving a premium over the market price for their common stock.
In addition, because we own a Utah industrial bank, any purchaser of our common stock who would own 10 percent or more of our common stock after such purchase would be required to obtain the prior consent of Utah banking authorities and the federal banking authorities prior to consummating any such acquisition. These regulatory requirements may preclude or delay the purchase of a relatively large ownership stake by certain potential investors.
Page 36 of 40
Table of Contents
If we engage in any acquisition, we will incur costs and may never realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
We may attempt to acquire businesses, technologies, services, or products or license in technologies that we believe are a strategic fit with our business. We have limited experience in identifying acquisition targets, successfully completing proposed acquisitions and integrating any acquired businesses, technologies, services or products into our current infrastructure. The process of integrating any acquired business, technology, service, or product may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may divert significant management attention from our ongoing business operations. As a result, we will incur a variety of costs in connection with an acquisition and may never realize its anticipated benefits.

Share repurchases will be made on the open market and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors, will determine the timing and number of shares repurchased. |
