HARLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2006 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a normal presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the John H. Harland Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the interim periods reflected. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Report included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 ("2005 Form 10-K"). 2. Accounting Policies Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2005 Form 10-K, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, as disclosed below. Stock-Based Compensation Effective, January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) ("SFAS 123(R)"), "Share-Based Payment," which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company amortizes stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the requirements of the modified prospective transition method, consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. Additionally, effective with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from financing activities. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans and applied the disclosure-only provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). In accordance with APB 25, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for options or purchases under the Company's stock purchase plans. Had compensation cost for options granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts listed below (in thousands): -7- Three Month Period Ended (In thousands, except April 1, per share amounts) 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income: As reported $ 17,284 Add: stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax 514 Deduct: stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of tax (1,278) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income $ 16,520 ==================================================================== Earnings per common share: As reported Basic $ 0.64 Diluted $ 0.62 Pro forma Basic $ 0.61 Diluted $ 0.59 The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions as to dividend yield, volatility, an appropriate risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the option. Many of these assumptions require management's judgment. The Company's volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company's stock unless management has reason to believe that future volatility will differ from the past. The expected term for grants under SFAS 123(R) are derived using the simplified method which is the average of the weighted average vesting period and the contractual term. The risk-free rate is based on the yield on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury in effect at the time of grant based on the expected term of the option. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market value at the date of grant. Shares issued under stock compensation plans are issued from the Company's treasury shares. In December 2005, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to repurchase 3,000,000 shares. Shares purchased may be held in treasury, used for acquisitions, used to fund the Company's stock-based benefit and compensation plans or for other corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 507,100 shares under this plan. Although the Company currently has authority to purchase additional shares under this plan for the purposes stated above during the remaining periods of 2006, the timing and extent of such purchases, if any, is dependent upon a number of factors making it difficult to estimate the number of shares that may be purchased during this period. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company recognized a benefit of $0.6 million ($0.3 million after tax) as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from the requirement to estimate forfeitures of the Company's restricted stock grants at the date of grant instead of recognizing them as incurred. The estimated forfeiture rate was applied to the previously recorded compensation expense of the Company's unvested restricted stock in determining the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The cumulative benefit, net of tax, increased both basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. As a result of the SFAS 123(R) requirement to expense stock options, stock-based compensation costs increased $1.3 million before income taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the three month period ended March 31, 2006. -8- Reclassifications Prior to 2006, the Company included substantially all stock compensation expense and a 401(k) plan performance contribution as a corporate expense classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, the Company elected to include stock compensation and the 401(k) plan performance contribution expense in results of operations of the related business segment and to classify a portion of these expenses to cost of goods sold based on the individuals within the business segment that are participants in these compensation programs. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to these changes. This reclassification to prior periods had no impact on net income or on shareholders' equity as previously reported. Research and Development For the three month period ended March 31, 2006, the Company incurred research and development costs of $6.2 million, compared to $5.7 million for the three month period ending April 1, 2005, an increase of $0.5 million, or 8.8%. Research and development costs are primarily costs incurred related to the development of software and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. 3. Acquisitions All acquisitions in 2006 and 2005 were paid for with cash provided from operating activities and proceeds from the Company's credit facility. The results of operations of each acquired business have been included in the Company's operations beginning as of the date of the particular acquisition. At March 31, 2006, $10.5 million was being held in escrow to satisfy indemnification claims, if any, under the terms of the purchase agreements. 2006 Acquisition On January 31, 2006, Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. ("HFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Financialware, Inc. ("Financialware") for approximately $7.0 million in a cash for equity transaction. Financialware was a provider of enterprise content management solutions, serving domestic and international financial institution clients. The acquisition expands and strengthens the Company's position in electronic check processing, statement rendering, document archival and retrieval, report management and image exchange software. The enterprise content management system technology, through automation, allows a consolidated view of customer accounts, transactions and documents via an accessible browser by both the financial institution's employees and their customers. Financialware's results of operations were included in the Company's operations as of January 31, 2006. The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities at the acquisition date consisted of goodwill of $5.4 million which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, other intangible assets of $2.5 million (estimated weighted average useful life of six years), which included $1.5 million in developed technology (estimated weighted average useful life of six years), and $0.8 million in customer lists (estimated weighted average useful life of six years) and $0.2 million in trademarks (estimated weighted average useful life of ten years), other assets of $0.7 million and assumed liabilities of $1.6 million. The allocations of purchase price are preliminary and subject to refinement as the Company finalizes the valuation of certain assets and liabilities. The pro forma effects of the Financialware acquisition were not material to the Company's results of operations. -9- 2005 Acquisitions On June 10, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Liberty Enterprises, Inc. ("Liberty") for approximately $161.7 million in cash, including acquisition costs. Liberty was a provider of checks, marketing services, card services, education and e-commerce solutions primarily to credit unions. The addition of Liberty expanded the Company's presence among credit unions, and management believes that the combined range of products and services positions the Company to be a preferred partner for credit unions across the country. On April 13, 2005, HFS amended its asset purchase agreement with Mitek Systems, Incorporated ("Mitek Systems"), which was originally entered into in July 2004, to purchase certain additional assets for $1.0 million. These assets had been excluded in the original agreement pending settlement of certain third party contractual issues by Mitek Systems. On April 4, 2005, HFS acquired Intrieve, Incorporated ("Intrieve") for approximately $77.1 million, including acquisition costs, in a cash for equity transaction. This acquisition expanded the HFS product and service offerings to include outsourced core processing, comprehensive item processing and electronic banking and payments processing for thrifts and community banks. The acquisition also included in-house financial management software, turnkey check and MICR document printing systems, and a datacenter operation that provides co-location and hot-site disaster recovery services. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition dates during 2005 (in thousands): Weighted Average Useful Life Value in Years - --------------------------------------------------------------- Current assets $ 22,832 Property, plant and equipment 13,519 Goodwill 131,406 Intangibles: Customer lists 103,300 18.7 Developed technology 12,640 5.0 Trademarks 7,600 5.4 -------- Total intangibles 123,540 Other assets 1,449 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets acquired 292,746 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Current liabilities 37,055 Deferred income taxes 11,502 Other 4,443 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities assumed 53,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets $239,746 =============================================================== The allocations of purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired in 2005 are preliminary pending detailed examinations and appraisals of the assets and liabilities acquired and the completion of an integration plan for the Liberty operations. The allocation of the purchase price includes $7.7 million for actions taken or to be undertaken for the integration of Liberty operations. -10- The allocations of purchase price resulted in $131.4 million allocated to goodwill of which $60.5 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill of $49.2 million and $82.2 million was preliminarily assigned to the Company's Printed Products and Software & Services business segments, respectively. The principal factor affecting the purchase price, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill, was the fair value of the going-concern element of the Liberty and Intrieve businesses, which includes the assembled workforces and synergies that are expected to be achieved. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents information as if the acquisitions of the businesses acquired in 2005 occurred at the beginning of 2005 (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Month Period Ended April 1, (Unaudited) 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Sales $ 265,397 Net Income $ 11,653 Earnings per common share: Basic $ .43 Diluted $ .42 The unaudited pro forma summary for the period presented includes adjustments for changes in levels of amortization of intangible assets, interest income, interest expense, and income taxes. The pro forma results for the three month period ended April 1, 2005 include $10.8 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses incurred by the acquired operations prior to the business combinations. The Company expects to realize operating synergies with the acquired operations. This pro forma information does not reflect any such potential synergies. The unaudited pro forma summary does not purport to be indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the periods presented or of future results. 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment.

Integration Actions Upon the acquisition of Liberty, an integration plan for the Liberty operations was developed that includes the consolidation of six Liberty facilities into the Company's existing network of regional production facilities and the elimination of duplicate selling, general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2006, costs of $7.7 million were recorded for actions taken or to be undertaken for the integration of Liberty operations. These costs were primarily for severance benefits and lease abandonment charges and are included in other current and noncurrent liabilities in the balance sheet. The following table presents the cumulative net costs of these actions incurred through March 31, 2006 (in thousands): Liberty Integration - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Employee severance $ 6,034 Contract termination costs related to leaseholds 1,339 Other 346 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 7,719 ================================================================ The following table reconciles the beginning and ending liability balances for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 related to the integration plan and are included in the other accrued liabilities captions on the balance sheet (in thousands): -12- Charged to Utilized ----------------- ---------------- Beginning Costs and Ending Balance Goodwill Expenses Cash Non-Cash Balance - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liberty integration: Employee severance $ 2,942 $ 112 $ 20 $ (701) $ - $ 2,373 Contract termination costs related to leaseholds 1,339 - - - - 1,339 Other - 346 - (132) - 214 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 4,281 $ 458 $ 20 $ (833) $ - $ 3,926 =============================================================================== 6.

Long Term Debt In February 2004, the Company amended its credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks increasing the amount from $325.0 million to $425.0 million. The Credit Facility is comprised of a $100.0 million term loan and a $325.0 million revolving loan, both of which mature in 2009. The term loan requires annual repayments of $5.0 million and will decrease by $5.0 million per annum. As a result, the Credit Facility will decrease to $400.0 million at the 2009 maturity date. The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and includes both direct borrowings and letters of credit. The Credit Facility is unsecured and the Company presently pays a commitment fee of 0.20% on the unused amount of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, based upon one of the following indices (plus a margin as defined): the Federal Funds Rate, the SunTrust Bank Base Rate or LIBOR (as defined therein). The Credit Facility has certain financial covenants including, among other items, leverage, fixed charge coverage and minimum net worth requirements. The Credit Facility also has restrictions that limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant security interests or sell its assets beyond certain amounts. At March 31, 2006, the Company had $268.1 million in outstanding cash borrowings under the Credit Facility, $5.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and $140.4 million available for borrowing under the Credit Facility. The average interest rate in effect on outstanding cash borrowings at March 31, 2006 was 5.79%. 8. Income Taxes The Company's consolidated effective income tax rates were 38.9% and 38.0% for the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2006 reflected the elimination of the IRC Section 936 U.S credit for Puerto Rico that expired December 31, 2005 and an increase in the effective state income tax rate for the consolidated group. -13- 9. Stock Compensation Plans Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), the Company is authorized to issue up to 5,100,000 shares of common stock to its employees, most of whom are eligible to participate. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may exercise an option to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The option price is 85% of the lower of the beginning- or end-of-quarter market price. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, employees exercised 53,278 options to purchase stock at a price of $32.17. At March 31, 2006, there were 136,530 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The Company recognized ESPP related compensation expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Stock Options and Restricted Stock Plans Under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant stock options to key employees to purchase common stock at no less than the fair market value on the date of the grant or issue restricted stock to such employees. The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares under the plan. Stock options have a maximum life of ten years and generally vest ratably over a five-year period beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant. Upon adoption of the 1999 plan, the Company terminated a previous plan except for options outstanding thereunder. In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares through stock options and grants of restricted stock. The 2000 Plan is substantially similar to the 1999 Plan, except that the Company's executive officers are ineligible to receive grants thereunder. In 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares through stock options and grants of restricted stock. The 2002 plan is substantially similar to the 1999 plan. In 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 New Employee Stock Option Plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000 shares. The 2005 plan is similar to the 1999 Plan except that existing employees are not eligible to receive stock options and it is limited to grants of stock options only. Stock options may only be granted to newly-hired employees or persons rehired following a bona fide interruption of employment. Pursuant to an exception from the New York Stock Exchange rules for employment inducement awards, the 2005 Plan was adopted without shareholder approval. As of March 31, 2006, there were 2,787,097 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under these stock option plans. Restricted stock grants prior to April 2004 generally vest over a period of five years, subject to earlier vesting if the Company's common stock outperforms the S&P 500 in two of three consecutive years. The certificates covering the restricted stock are not issued until the restrictions lapse. The shares have all the rights of holders of common stock, including the right to receive cash dividends, but are not transferable. The restricted stock is generally forfeited if the employee terminates for any reason prior to the lapse in restrictions, other than death or disability. Commencing in April 2004, restricted stock grants do not contain the accelerated performance-related vesting described above and generally vest ratably over five years or, in the case of certain officers, vest on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates at the rate of one third on each such date. On December 31, 2005, the conditions for early vesting were met on 145,195 shares after the common stock outperformed the S&P 500 in 2005 and 2004. On December 31, 2004, the conditions for early vesting were met on 136,500 shares after the common stock outperformed the S&P 500 in 2004 and 2002. -14- In February 2006, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") was granted 15,700 restricted shares with performance-based vesting. The basis for vesting is the cumulative fully-diluted earnings per share of the Company for the years 2006 to 2008. The award is subject to threshold and maximum performance limitations. If the threshold is met, 3,530 shares would vest. If actual performance exceeds the threshold (but is less than maximum performance), the number of shares vesting will be determined on a directly proportional basis using straight-line interpolation. If the threshold is not achieved, the entire award will be forfeited and cancelled. However, the award will vest 100% upon (a) the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, (b) the Company's termination of the CEO's employment without cause, (c) termination of employment for good reason or (d) termination of employment by reason of death or disability on or before December 31, 2009. No dividends will be paid on these shares until the number of shares that vest is determined. Compensation cost related to this award is based on an estimate of the number of shares expected to vest. In August 2005, the CEO was granted 16,900 restricted shares with performance-based vesting with terms similar to the February 2006 performance-based award. The basis for vesting is the cumulative fully-diluted earnings per share of the Company for the years 2005 to 2007. The award is subject to threshold and maximum performance limitations. If the threshold is met, 3,800 shares would vest. Compensation cost related to this award is based on an estimate of the number of shares expected to vest. In April 2005, the CEO was granted stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of stock at a price of $37.59. These stock options have a ten-year life and vest ratably over five years beginning on December 1, 2005. The Company did not grant any stock options for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005. A summary of stock option transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2006 follows: Weighted Weighted Average Aggregate Average Remaining Intrinsic Exercise Contractual Value Shares Price Term (000) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - December 31, 2005 2,709,090 $ 25.14 Granted - - Exercised (113,890) 20.17 Forfeited (66,440) 21.78 Expired (240) 20.88 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - March 31, 2006 2,528,520 $ 25.45 6.1 $ 35,011 ============================================================================= Exercisable - March 31, 2006 1,698,600 $ 23.17 5.2 $ 27,396 ============================================================================= During the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and the total amount of cash received from the exercise of these options was $2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Potentially dilutive common shares that were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 because they were anti-dilutive were 69,351 and 0 shares, respectively. 12. Postretirement Benefits The Company sponsors unfunded defined postretirement benefit plans that cover certain salaried and nonsalaried employees. One plan provides health care benefits and the other provides life insurance benefits. The medical plan is contributory and contributions are adjusted annually based on actual claims experience. The Company previously disclosed in its 2005 Form 10-K that it expected to contribute $1.5 million to its postretirement benefit plan in 2006. During the three month period ended March 31, 2006, the Company contributed $0.2 million to the plans. Net periodic postretirement costs for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 are summarized as follows (in thousands): Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2006 April 1, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest on APBO $ 305 $ 302 Net amortization 70 55 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 375 $ 357 ==================================================================== 13. Business Segments The Company operates its business in three segments. The Company is organized on the basis of products, services and markets served. Within each business segment are division presidents who report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. The Printed Products segment ("Printed Products") includes checks, direct marketing activities and analytical services marketed primarily to financial institutions. The Software and Services segment ("Software & Services") is focused on the financial institution market and includes core processing applications and services for credit unions, thrifts and community banks, education and e-commerce solutions primarily for credit unions, lending and mortgage origination applications, mortgage servicing applications, branch automation applications and customer relationship management applications and fraud prevention solutions. The Scantron segment represents products and services sold by the Company's Scantron subsidiary including scanning equipment and software, scannable forms, survey solutions, testing and assessment tools, training and field maintenance services. Scantron sells these products and services to the education, commercial and financial institution markets. The Company's operations are primarily located in the United States and Puerto Rico. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, there were no significant intersegment sales. The Company does not have sales to any individual customer greater than 10% of total Company sales. Equity investments, as well as foreign assets and revenues, are not significant to the consolidated results of the Company. The Company's accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income or loss before income taxes. Segment income or loss excludes interest income, interest expense and certain other non-operating gains and losses, all of which are considered Corporate items. Certain 2005 stock compensation expenses and a 401(k) plan performance contribution were reclassified from Corporate to the related business segments to conform to the 2006 classifications. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, deferred income taxes, investments and other assets not employed in production. -18- Summarized financial information for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 was as follows (in thousands): Business Segment ------------------------------- Printed Software & Corporate & Consoli- Products Services Scantron Eliminations dated - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three month periods ended: March 31, 2006 Sales $ 172,780 $ 71,322 $ 29,712 $ (350) $ 273,464 Income (loss) before income taxes 32,442 5,598 8,005 (11,658) 34,387 April 1, 2005 Sales $ 140,448 $ 47,620 $ 28,214 $ (435) $ 215,847 Income (loss) before income taxes 24,377 4,192 6,456 (7,148) 27,877 14. Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial statements. -19- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company operates its business in three segments. The Printed Products segment ("Printed Products") includes checks, direct marketing activities and analytical services marketed primarily to financial institutions. The Software and Services segment ("Software & Services") is focused on the financial institution market and includes core processing applications and services for credit unions, thrifts and community banks, education and e-commerce solutions primarily to credit unions, lending and mortgage origination applications, mortgage servicing applications, branch automation applications, customer relationship management applications and fraud payment prevention solutions. The Scantron segment ("Scantron") includes scanning equipment and software, scannable forms, survey solutions, testing and assessment tools, training and field maintenance services. Scantron sells these products and services to the education, commercial and financial institution markets. Critical Accounting Policies In the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-K"), the Company's most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which its financial status depends were identified as those relating to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, software and other developmental costs, income taxes and stock-based compensation. The Company believes there were no material changes in its critical accounting policies during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, other than the change in accounting principle described below. See the 2005 Form 10-K for additional disclosure with respect to the Company's critical accounting policies. Change in Accounting Principle Effective, January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) ("SFAS 123(R)"), "Share-Based Payment," which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company amortizes stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the requirements of the modified prospective method, consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans and applied the disclosure-only provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). In accordance with APB 25, no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for options or purchases under the Company's employee stock purchase plan. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company recognized a benefit of $0.6 million ($0.3 million after tax) as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from the requirement to estimate forfeitures of the Company's restricted stock grants at the date of grant instead of recognizing them as incurred. The estimated forfeiture rate was applied to the previously recorded compensation expense of the Company's unvested restricted stock in determining the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The cumulative benefit, net of tax, increased both basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01. -20- As a result of the SFAS 123(R) requirement to expense stock options, stock-based compensation costs increased $1.3 million before income taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will continue to have a material effect on its future period results of operations and financial position dependent upon the level of awards granted. At March 31, 2006, unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to nonvested awards was $26.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. See Notes 2 and 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Company's accounting policy and other information pertaining to stock compensation plans. Reclassifications Prior to 2006, the Company included substantially all stock compensation expense and a 401(k) plan performance contribution as a corporate expense classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, the Company elected to include stock compensation and the 401(k) plan performance contribution expense in results of operations of the related business segment and to classify a portion of these expenses to cost of goods sold. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to these changes. This reclassification to prior periods had no impact on net income or on shareholders' equity as previously reported. The following table presents stock-based compensation included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income by classification and by business segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 (in thousands): Three Month Period Ended March 31, April 1, 2006 2005 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock-based compensation included in: Cost of sales $ 297 $ 61 Selling, general and administrative 2,419 781 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total stock-based compensation $ 2,716 $ 842 ===================================================================== Stock-based compensation included in: Printed Products $ 701 $ 265 Software & Services 812 255 Scantron 295 208 Corporate 908 115 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total stock-based compensation $ 2,716 $ 842 ===================================================================== Significant Events On January 31, 2006, Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. ("HFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Financialware, Inc. ("Financialware") for approximately $7.0 million in a cash for equity transaction. In June 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Liberty Enterprises, Inc. ("Liberty") for approximately $161.7 million in cash including acquisition costs. In April 2005, the Company acquired Intrieve, Incorporated ("Intrieve") for approximately $77.1 million, including acquisition costs, in a cash for equity transaction. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding these acquisitions. -21- In March 2005, the Company was notified that a major customer in its Printed Products segment would not renew its contract that expired in March 2006. The annual sales under this contract were approximately $32 million with annual pre-tax operating income of approximately $10 million. The Company believes it will be able to eliminate all variable costs associated with this customer and will adjust its infrastructure wherever possible to minimize the impact of fixed costs. This customer loss was effective during March 2006. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST QUARTER OF 2006 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER OF 2005 Sales Consolidated sales and sales by segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 were as follows (in thousands): Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2006 April 1, 2005 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % of % of Amount Total Amount Total - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Printed Products $172,780 63.2% $140,448 65.1% Software & Services 71,322 26.1% 47,620 22.0% Scantron 29,712 10.9% 28,214 13.1% Eliminations (350) (0.2%) (435) (0.2%) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $273,464 100.0% $215,847 100.0% ====================================================================== Consolidated sales increased $57.6 million, or 26.7%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Sales increases occurred in all three segments. Sales of products, which consist of all Printed Products sales (except analytical services), software licensing sales, scanning equipment and scannable forms and other products, increased $34.8 million, or 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Sales of services, which consist of software maintenance services, field maintenance services, core processing services, analytical and consulting services and other services, increased $22.8 million, or 55.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Printed Products sales increased $32.3 million, or 23.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The portions of the acquired Liberty operations aligned under Printed Products contributed $27.3 million of the increase. Excluding the impact of acquired Liberty operations, Printed Products sales increased $5.0 million, or 3.5%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005, with all businesses reporting higher sales. Legacy imprint check printing operations (which exclude Liberty operations) were favorably impacted by an average price per unit increase of 3.1% partially offset by a volume decrease of 2.0%. The increase in average price per unit was primarily due to a price increase implemented during the first quarter of 2006. The volume decrease was primarily attributable to customer losses in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, the impact of one less production day for Printed Products in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 and by general market volume erosion related to alternative payments systems. The volume decrease was partially offset by customer gains in 2005. Sales of computer checks and related products increased 4.8% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to increased volume through the financial institution channel and the expansion of premium delivery options. Sales of direct marketing activities increased 20.6% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to operations acquired in the Liberty acquisition that have been aligned under direct marketing, new business with a national credit card company, an expansion in statement printing sales and stronger seasonal volumes in on-going direct marketing programs. -22- Software & Services sales increased $23.7 million, or 49.8%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase in sales was due primarily to the Intrieve acquisition, the portions of the operations from the Liberty acquisition that were aligned under Software & Services and organic sales increases in core systems and retail and lending solutions. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding business acquisitions in 2006 and 2005. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions, Software & Services sales increased approximately $2.9 million, or 6.1% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Core systems organic sales increased 11.0% primarily due to higher sales in banking systems and credit union systems partially offset by decreases in credit union service bureau services. Retail and lending solutions organic sales increased 2.6% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to higher sales of lending solutions partially offset by a decrease in sales from mortgage and retail solutions. At March 31, 2006, Software & Services backlog, which consists of contracted products and services prior to delivery, was $256.4 million, an increase of 131.4% compared to $110.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005, and increased $1.1 million, or 0.4%, from $255.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase from the first quarter of 2005 was due primarily to businesses acquired in 2005, stronger bookings in lending solutions and core banking systems over the last 12 months partially offset by the drawdown of backlog related to mortgage solutions products and credit union service bureau. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2005 was due primarily to the Financialware acquisition. Backlog increases for lending solutions and retail solutions were offset by decreases for service bureau business. Approximately $101.7 million, or 39.7%, of the backlog at March 31, 2006 is expected to be delivered over the next twelve months and $154.7 million, or 60.3%, is expected to be delivered beyond the next twelve months due to the long-term nature of certain service contracts. Scantron sales increased $1.5 million, or 5.3%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to increases in sales of testing and custom data collection forms, field maintenance services, data collection software and survey solution products and services, partially offset by decreases in optical mark reading equipment and testing and assessment software products. Increased sales of newer technology products in the education market were more than offset by lower sales of legacy technology products in that market. Revenue for the newer technology products is recognized over the contract term, which results in deferrals of revenue into future periods, whereas revenue for the legacy products is generally recognized when the product is shipped. Certain of the legacy technology products were sunset in 2005 and are no longer actively marketed. Sales of hardware were lower for commercial market applications and non-testing applications in the education market due to a continuing trend in data collection methods moving away from optical mark reading to imaging and direct input technologies. Scantron backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2006 was $16.9 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 15.5%, from $20.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005, and a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4.0%, from $17.6 million at December 31, 2005. Approximately $15.0 million of the backlog at March 31, 2006 is expected to be delivered within twelve months. -23- Gross Profit Consolidated gross profit and gross profit by segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 were as follows (in thousands): Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2006 April 1, 2005 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % of % of Amount Sales(a) Amount Sales(a) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Printed Products $ 75,698 43.8% $ 57,330 40.8% Software & Services 42,018 58.9% 31,490 66.1% Scantron 16,534 55.6% 15,680 55.6% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $134,250 49.1% $104,500 48.4% ====================================================================== <FN> (a) Percentage of sales for each segment is calculated using sales for that segment. </FN> Printed Products gross profit increased $18.4 million, or 32.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 and increased as a percentage of sales from 40.8% in the first quarter of 2005 to 43.8% in the first quarter of 2006. The portions of the acquired Liberty operations aligned under Printed Products accounted for 82.4% of the gross profit increase in the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, Printed Products gross profit was favorably impacted by sales increases in legacy imprint check printing operations (which exclude Liberty operations), computer checks and related products and direct marketing activities. Lower volume in legacy imprint check printing operations (which exclude Liberty operations) partially offset these favorable factors. Software & Services gross profit increased $10.5 million, or 33.4%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The gross profit increase was due to businesses acquired in 2005, sales mix and lower costs in its other businesses. As a percentage of sales, Software & Services gross profit decreased to 58.9% in the first quarter of 2006 from 66.1% in the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to the lower margin nature of the acquired operations. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, Software & Services gross profit increased approximately 7.1% in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 due primarily to organic sales growth. Scantron gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 5.4%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The gross profit increase was due primarily to the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, Scantron gross profit remained constant at 55.6% for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A) Consolidated SG&A and SG&A by segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 were as follows (in thousands): Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2006 April 1, 2005 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % of % of Amount Sales(a) Amount Sales(a) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Printed Products $ 41,591 24.1% $ 33,014 23.5% Software & Services 34,269 48.0% 26,367 55.4% Scantron 8,459 28.5% 9,126 32.3% Corporate 8,218 5,933 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 92,537 33.8% $ 74,440 34.5% ====================================================================== <FN> (a) Percentage of sales for each segment is calculated using sales for that segment. </FN> -24- Printed Products SG&A increased $8.6 million, or 26.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to the portions of the acquired Liberty operations aligned under Printed Products which accounted for approximately 90% of the increase and the impact of implementing SFAS 123(R), the new accounting pronouncement for stock-based compensation. Software and Services SG&A increased $7.9 million, or 30.0%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to expenses related to operations acquired in 2005, increased expenses in the Core Systems business unit and the impact of implementing SFAS 123(R). Scantron SG&A decreased $0.7 million, or 7.3%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to cost reductions implemented in late 2005 and slightly lower product development costs in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 partially offset by the impact of implementing SFAS 123(R). Corporate SG&A increased $2.3 million, or 38.5%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in stock compensation costs and increases in cash incentive compensation costs due to the Company's favorable financial performance in 2006 and to compensation costs recognized due to an increase in the fair value of assets of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Stock compensation costs increased primarily due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). Amortization of Intangibles Amortization of intangible assets increased $3.1 million to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to the impact of operations acquired in 2005. Consolidated Income from Operations Consolidated income from operations increased $8.6 million, or 29.5%, to $37.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to higher gross profit which was partially offset by higher SG&A and amortization of intangibles in 2006 compared to 2005. Other Income (Expense) Other Income (Expense) increased $2.1 million to an expense of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 from an expense of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest expense partially offset by an increase in the fair value of assets of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The increase in interest expense resulted from higher amounts of debt outstanding and higher average interest rates in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. Consolidated Income before Income Taxes and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle Consolidated income before income taxes increased $6.5 million, or 23.3%, to $34.4 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $27.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 due to increased income from operations partially offset by increased interest expense. Income Taxes The Company's consolidated effective income tax rates were 38.9% and 38.0% for the first quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2005, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2006 reflected the elimination of the IRC Section 936 U.S credit for Puerto Rico that expired December 31, 2005 and an increase in the effective state income tax rate for the consolidated group. -25- Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company recognized a benefit of $0.6 million ($0.3 million after tax) as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from the requirement to estimate forfeitures of the Company's restricted stock grants at the date of grant instead of recognizing them as incurred. The estimated forfeiture rate was applied to the previously recorded compensation expense of the Company's unvested restricted stock in determining the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Net Income and Earnings Per Share Net income in the first quarter of 2006 was $21.3 million compared to $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.80 and $0.78, respectively, for the first quarter of 2006 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.64 and $0.62, respectively, for the first quarter of 2005. The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax, increased both basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 in the first quarter of 2006. FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Sources and Uses of Cash - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three Month Periods Ended (In thousands) March 31, 2006 April 1, 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net cash provided by operating activities $ 14,792 $ 15,074 Net cash used for investing activities (13,011) (5,413) Net cash used for financing activities (3,056) (6,923) ======================================================================== Cash flow provided from operations decreased $0.3 million, or 1.9%, in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in working capital, an increase in net deferred income tax assets, the impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) (see note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Statements) whereby tax benefits from stock compensation which were previously included in cash flows from operations are now included in cash flows from financing and an increase in upfront contract payments. The decrease was partially offset by cash provided by net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (net of taxes) which accounted for an increase of $8.0 million in cash provided by operations in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005. An increase in stock-based compensation also had a favorable impact on cash flow provided by operations in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the first quarter of 2005. The principal uses of cash in the first quarter of 2006 were for upfront payment contracts ($17.5 million), repurchases of stock ($16.9 million), a business acquisition ($7.0 million), capital expenditures ($6.0 million) and dividend payments to shareholders ($4.1 million). Cash from the Company's credit facility provided a net inflow of $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, cash flow provided by the issuance of treasury stock totaled $4.0 million as a result of the exercise of stock options ($2.3 million) and the employee stock purchase plan ($1.7 million). Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $0.8 million, compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and were primarily in Printed Products for customer care infrastructure initiatives, system development and equipment costs related to acquisition integration activities. -26- In December 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 3,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. Shares purchased under this program may be held in treasury, used for acquisitions, used to fund the Company's stock benefit and compensation plans or for other corporate purposes. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company purchased 507,100 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $18.7 million or an average cost of $36.95 per share. As of March 31, 2006, 2,492,900 shares remained under the current authorization. In February 2004, the Company amended its credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks increasing the amount from $325.0 million to $425.0 million. The Credit Facility is comprised of a $100.0 million term loan and a $325.0 million revolving loan, both of which mature in 2009. The term loan requires annual repayments of $5.0 million and will decrease by $5.0 million per annum. As a result, the Credit Facility will decrease to $400.0 million at the 2009 maturity date. The Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and includes both direct borrowings and letters of credit. The Credit Facility is unsecured and the Company presently pays a commitment fee of 0.20% on the unused amount of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, based upon one of the following indices (plus a margin specified in the agreement): the Federal Funds Rate, the SunTrust Bank Base Rate or LIBOR. The Credit Facility has certain financial covenants including, among other items, leverage, fixed charge and minimum net worth requirements. The Credit Facility also has restrictions that limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant security interests or sell its assets beyond certain amounts. At March 31, 2006, the total size of the Credit Facility was $413.7 million consisting of $268.1 million in outstanding cash borrowings, $5.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and $140.4 million available for borrowing. The average interest rate in effect on outstanding cash borrowings at March 31, 2006 was 5.79%. At March 31, 2006, the Company had $9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that its current cash position, funds from operations and the availability of funds under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for acquisitions, working capital, dividends, capital expenditures and other corporate needs. Management is not aware of any condition that would materially alter this trend. The Company also believes that it possesses sufficient unused debt capacity and access to equity capital markets to pursue additional acquisition opportunities if funding beyond that available under the Credit Facility were required. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS The Company has contracts with certain customers that contain provisions that call for future payments to the customers. These payments are amortized as a reduction of sales over the life of the related contract and are generally refundable from the customer on a pro-rata basis if the contract is terminated. As of March 31, 2006, the remaining payment obligations under the existing customer contracts are scheduled to be paid as follows: $5.2 million for the nine months ending December 31, 2006; $49.6 million for the two year period ending December 31, 2008 and $14.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2009. Borrowings under the Company's line of credit increased $13.5 million since December 31, 2005 from $254.6 million to $268.1 million primarily due to the repurchases of its common stock and the acquisition of Financialware, Inc. Other contractual obligations and commitments have not increased materially since December 31, 2005. See the 2005 Form 10-K with respect to the Company's other contractual obligations and commitments. -27- ACQUISITIONS All acquisitions in 2006 and 2005 were paid for with cash provided from operating activities and proceeds from the Credit Facility. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company's operations since the respective closing dates (see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). OUTLOOK Net income for 2006 is expected to be higher than 2005 with all three segments expected to show growth in sales and income before income taxes. The impact of implementing FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" effective January 1, 2006, combined with expected higher interest expense and a higher effective income tax rate, are expected to partially offset the favorable impact of growth in sales and income before income taxes for the three operating segments. The Company believes cash flow will remain strong in all business units in 2006. The Company currently estimates that capital expenditures will range from $26 million to $29 million. The Company believes upfront contract payments in 2006 will be slightly lower than 2005 based on commitments in place at the beginning of the year. The Company currently expects depreciation and amortization in 2006 will approximate 2005 and that interest expense will be approximately $14 million. The Company also expects weighted average diluted shares outstanding will be approximately 27.5 million and the effective income tax rate will be approximately 39%. RISK FACTORS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS When used in this report and in subsequent filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases and in written or oral statements made by authorized representatives of the Company, the words or phrases "believe," "should result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are necessarily subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A of the 2005 Form 10-K and are incorporated into this Item 2 of this report as if fully stated herein, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's historical experience and its present expectations or projections. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made and which may or may not be based on historical experiences and/or trends which may or may not continue in the future. The Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading with the exception of $7.9 million of assets held in a trust related to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company is exposed primarily to market risks related to interest rates and equity prices. -28- Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate debt. In order to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company from time to time has entered into interest rate swap agreements, which allow it to raise funds at floating rates and effectively swap them into fixed rates. These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and, when used, are entered into for hedging purposes only. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2006, there were no interest rate swap agreements in effect. At March 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding variable rate debt of $268.1 million. The impact on quarterly results of operations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate change on the outstanding debt as of March 31, 2006 would be approximately $410,000. Equity Price Risk The fair value of the Company's trading securities investments, which is related to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for eligible employees, is included in investments with an offsetting obligation included in other noncurrent liabilities. Realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to those investments are recorded in other income with an offsetting adjustment to compensation expense which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The fair value of the Company's available-for-sale investments is primarily affected by fluctuations in the market price for the common stock of Mitek Systems, Inc. The change in market value has been accounted for as a component of other comprehensive income. The following presents the Company's investment in Mitek reflecting the high and low closing market prices during the period subsequent to the date of the investment (February 22, 2005) to March 31, 2006: Carrying (In thousands) Value (a) High (b) Low (b) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Investment in Mitek $3,581 $3,921 $1,179 <FN> (a) Based on market value as of March 31, 2006 (b) Based on quoted market prices </FN> ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, such officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting On January 31, 2006, HFS acquired Financialware, Inc. ("Financialware") for approximately $7.0 million in a cash for equity transaction. For more details on this acquisition, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has not evaluated any changes in internal control over financial reporting associated with this acquisition, and, therefore, any material changes that might result are not included in this report. The Company will disclose any material changes resulting from this acquisition within the annual assessment reports of internal control over financial reporting that are required to include them. The total assets of the acquisition constitute approximately 1.0% of consolidated assets as of March 31, 2006. -29- Subject to the foregoing, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims. The Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial statements. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS In the Company's 2005 Form 10-K, the risk factors relating to the Company's business and operations were set forth. Reference should be made to the 2005 Form 10-K for the risks that could materially adversely affect the result of operations and financial condition of the Company. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company made the following purchases of common stock: Total Number of Maximum Shares Number of Total Average Purchased Shares Number Price as Part of Remaining of Paid Publicly Under Shares Per Announced Authorized Period Purchased Share Program(1) Program - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 1 - January 31 - $ - - 3,000,000 February 1 - February 28 163,000 36.40 163,000 2,837,000 March 1 - March 31 344,100 37.21 344,100 2,492,900 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total 507,100 $36.95 507,100 2,492,900 ======================================================================== <FN> (1) In December 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 3,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.
