PART I
Item 1. Business.
          This annual report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated into this annual report on Form 10-K by reference contain forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These statements include statements with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends” or similar terminology identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made using information currently available to us. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The risk factors described below provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Except as provided by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Business Overview
          S1 Corporation develops and markets customer interaction software solutions for financial and payments services primarily to banks, credit unions, insurance companies, retailers and telecommunication companies. Our products address the needs of financial institution customers in the areas of online banking, branch automation, call center automation, teller automation, insurance company banking services, voice banking, payment processing, point-of-sale (“POS”) functions and automated teller machine (“ATM”) driving.
          We sell to large, mid-sized and small financial organizations around the world including retail banks, wholesale banks, insurance companies and community banks. Our payment solutions are also sold to retailers, telecom operators, and third-party payment processors. Our operations are organized geographically in two regions: the Americas and International. Additional information about our business, geographic disclosures and major customers is presented in note 18 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
          We license customers the right to use our software through a direct sales channel and with channel partners including information systems integrators and select bank core processors. In addition to providing maintenance, support, enhancements and implementation services related to our software, in some circumstances we host our software for our customers in our data center.
          We have solution sets that address the various needs of the markets we serve. For global, national and regional financial institutions, we offer the S1 Enterprise suite of products. This product line is comprised of an integrated set of solutions that cover Internet, call center, teller and branch applications. We believe that S1 Enterprise makes it possible for our customers to deliver a personalized and compelling experience to their retail, small business and corporate customers across multiple customer interaction channels, leveraging one common technical platform.
          For community banks and credit unions in the United States, we offer a more simplified set of packaged solutions for Internet banking, telephone banking and ATM capabilities. These applications are designed to meet the needs of those organizations that have more limited information technology resources, yet still want and need to compete aggressively with larger financial institutions in their target markets.
          For financial institutions of all sizes, as well as retailers, telecom operators and third-party payment processors, we offer advanced electronic payment capabilities, which help these organizations automate payments at the POS or client interface, whether that is a device in a store, an ATM, or over the phone or Internet.
General Background
          We are headquartered in Norcross, Georgia with 18 offices in ten countries, including domestic offices in Littleton, Massachusetts; Charlotte, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; Fairport, New York; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and West Hills,

Table of Contents

California; and international offices in Brussels, Cape Town, Dubai, Dublin, Johannesburg, London, Melbourne, Munich, Pune, Chertsey and Singapore. We are incorporated in Delaware. We have a global software and services organization with approximately 3,000 financial institution customers. We are primarily focused on the financial services industry, but also deliver POS and payment solutions to a broader market.
          We were founded in 1996 when we started the world’s first Internet bank — Security First Network Bank. In 1998, we sold the banking operations to Royal Bank of Canada. We then focused on software development, implementation and support services. Our core business was Internet banking and insurance applications for several years. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, we were able to execute on our strategy of offering multiple applications that address several customer interaction channels, many bank officer support channels and workstations of financial services companies on a common platform.
Sources of Revenue
          Our revenue is derived from software licenses and subscriptions, support and maintenance fees, professional implementation services, hosting and data center operations and other revenue. Refer to note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the various types of revenue and our revenue recognition policies.
S1 Vision and Strategy
          Our vision is to be the leading global provider of customer-facing solutions for financial and payments services. The key initiatives that support the execution of this vision are:
    Achieve financial and operational stability by focusing on the satisfaction of our current customers across all product lines. In 2006, we generated approximately 75% of our revenues from the sale of licenses and services in the global financial services market and the remaining 25%, or approximately $47.9 million, from services provided to our principal insurance customer (State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company). The State Farm revenue is expected to be between $45.0 and $48.0 million in 2007. In February 2006, we released a new version of our Enterprise solution to a small number of customers in our Managed Introduction Program (“MIP”). Following the MIP implementations, we plan to make this version available to the broader market. We will continue to sell to our community bank customers and invest in the next-generation of Internet, voice and ATM banking solutions that meet their unique needs. We believe that there are opportunities for cross-selling our products and services across certain of our customer segments as we continue to enhance and add new solutions to our offering. We remain committed to a recurring license revenue model for our community bank customers, while using a traditional license and maintenance revenue model in the other markets we serve. In addition, we expect to generate implementation fees from the sale of most of our products, and offer hosting services to our customers using most of our products.
 
    Release quality software solutions to the market that help our customers differentiate themselves and be more successful. We believe by improving the quality of our software code, our implementation services, and our customer support processes, we will improve customer satisfaction and long-term profitability and will have a positive impact on our ability to sell additional applications to our customers and use them as references to help win future customers.
 
    Invest in our people to build greater return for our customers and shareholders. We believe that our employees are at the core of our success. Based on input from the employees and the management team, we embrace corporate values that ensure all employees act with integrity through every customer and fellow employee interaction, have the tools and knowledge to do their jobs to the best of their ability, understand the specific standards of quality that are acceptable through a series of guiding principles, and take pride in the leadership position that we hold in the markets that we serve.
S1 Segments
          We are divided into two segments based on target customer markets and technology platforms. The first segment, Enterprise, offers software solutions either built on the S1 Enterprise Platform or custom developed solutions that are targeted to customers in the global banking and insurance sectors.

Table of Contents

          The second segment, Postilion, markets the Postilion and Full Service Banking (“FSB”) solutions product lines. The Postilion segment includes the community financial business and the global ATM/payments business.
          We provide below a more detailed description of the products and services offered by each segment.
S1 Enterprise
          S1 Enterprise offers applications for online banking, bank branch operations and call centers. The products are also marketed to financial institutions seeking to expand their business from banking to insurance services. All of the Enterprise products are built using the S1 Enterprise Platform.
          Because we use a common technology platform for substantially all of our S1 Enterprise applications, our customers may benefit in a number of ways. Information generated from customer interactions can be integrated and made available across multiple applications on a real-time basis, though it is produced and collected in multiple delivery channels including branch banking, call center, telephone and Internet. The S1 Enterprise Platform supports an enterprise authentication framework which provides maximum flexibility to implement a spectrum of authentication options and to integrate cleanly with third-party vendors solutions. Finally, the S1 Enterprise Application Manager enables our customers’ employees to seamlessly manage their Internet products and to market and service customers. The S1 Enterprise Application Manager includes the ability to perform on-behalf-of transactions, set up and manage marketing campaigns, manage bank branding, customize affiliate bank parameters, generate system reports and set up companies.
          There are three product groups in S1 Enterprise. These include S1 Enterprise Online Banking, S1 Enterprise Branch Banking and Call Center and S1 Enterprise Insurance. The Online Banking solutions allow our customers to establish and maintain online banking functionality. The Branch Banking and Call Center product group provides our customers with the technology necessary to carry out customer service functions within the bank branch and call center environments. The Insurance solutions allow our customers in the insurance industry to technology-enable product offerings traditionally provided by a bank, in a way that is suited to an insurance company’s organizational structure and business processes.
S1 Enterprise Online Banking Solutions
          Our Enterprise Online Banking solutions enable financial institutions to support customers of all sizes from personal banking customers, to small businesses, to Fortune 500 companies. The needs of each of these customer groups differ. Our products have been packaged in such a way that we can offer a solution set appropriate to each segment. A description of each product set is provided below:
    S1 Enterprise Personal Banking allows our customers to offer online capabilities for personal finance management, electronic bill payment and presentment, account aggregation, external account transfers, alerts and reminders, online self-service tools, and more. The S1 Personal Banking user interface has been carefully designed and rigorously tested for ease of use and visual appeal to ensure a satisfying customer experience.
 
    S1 Enterprise Business Banking provides online financial solutions appropriate for small to mid-market business banking customers. The online tools allow these smaller businesses to manage their money quickly and effectively. This allows our financial institution customers to offer product packages that can satisfy an array of business customer segments and include such features as account management and enhanced reporting, payments, foreign exchange and self-service features including the ability to open new accounts online, report lost cards, reset passwords, stop payments, reorder checks, request check copies, and create electronic alerts.
 
    S1 Enterprise Corporate Banking delivers a sophisticated multilingual, multi-currency, and multi-delivery channel offering with proven performance, giving our banking clients the ability to offer cash management functions on a global basis for high-volume users. S1 Corporate Banking provides users real-time data on account balances and transactions as well as straight-thru processing on payments from ACH to Fedwire to SWIFT.

    S1 Enterprise Trade Finance streamlines the trade finance process for the online marketplace. The S1 Enterprise Trade Finance product is engineered to increase the efficiency of processing trade transactions and delivers one integrated system to create and report on trade documents from purchase orders, to letters of credit, to direct collections.
S1 Enterprise Branch Banking and Call Center Solutions
          S1 Enterprise’s branch banking and call center products are an integrated suite of applications and modules that enable the delivery of a full-range of banking services at the financial institution branch and call center. Branch banking call center products include high-performance teller and platform capability with integrated channel management and cross-channel data integration. This allows our customers to produce consistent customer service while increasing sales and lowering costs across the entire enterprise. Since one common system and set of tools support teller applications, sales platform, and call center applications, implementation and ongoing maintenance are dramatically simplified. Applications in the S1 Enterprise Branch Banking and Call Center Solution include:
    S1 Enterprise Teller utilizes thin and rich client technologies rather than PC based technologies. This provides scalability, real-time connectivity, and low total cost of ownership with deep off-line capabilities. The application is highly flexible and customizable, and its centralized administration capabilities enable quick and efficient rollout of new products, features, and upgrades.
 
    S1 Enterprise Sales and Service Platform provides transaction functionality and embedded relationship management tools. With real-time information from all channels and advanced features that support selling, branches can increase their visibility of potential cross-sell and up-sell opportunities, and have the tools to act on those opportunities.
 
    S1 Enterprise Call Center is a fully integrated call center solution that offers workflows, transactions and core services that meet the specialized needs of the call center environment. In addition to the core services found in the teller and sales and service platform, S1 Enterprise Call Center provides the customer information, sales and service capabilities, process flows, reporting, and fulfillment management functionality that is typically found in call center operations.
 
    S1 Enterprise Voice Banking provides voice banking capabilities that can be rapidly deployed using technology from a third-party solution partner. The voice application is integrated with the S1 Enterprise Platform so it can be fully deployed with all of our applications. As a result, customer information generated with Voice Banking can be integrated and accessed with bank customer information from all other channels and applications.
S1 Enterprise Insurance
          S1 offers products and services for insurance carriers that enable them to effectively operate an Internet bank under the umbrella of their insurance company. The solutions are designed to support the unique distribution channels utilized by insurance carriers that differentiate them from traditional banking operations. S1’s Enterprise Insurance solutions provide account opening, inquiry, transaction, and maintenance features for agencies and the consumer-direct Internet channels. The products we support include banking, credit origination and investment accounts.
          In addition to our bank-specific solutions, S1 Insurance also offers custom solutions to provide agency and consumer direct interfaces that allow quoting, purchasing, inquiry, endorsements and claims initiation via web-based interfaces. The products and solutions that comprise S1’s Enterprise Insurance solutions can be implemented individually or together on the S1 Enterprise Platform to improve channel integration and provide a consistent view of the customer.
          S1 Enterprise Insurance includes our business with State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and its subsidiary State Farm Bank (“State Farm”). Revenues from services provided to State Farm were $45.4 and $47.9 million or 25% of revenue from continuing operations in 2005 and 2006.

Postilion
          Postilion markets the Full Service Banking solutions and Postilion product lines. The Postilion business unit is segmented from the Enterprise business unit on the basis of the type of customers it targets which include the community financial business in the USA and global ATM/payments business.
Postilion
     The Postilion payment application provides an end-to-end solution with a single platform for fully integrated self-service banking transactions. In the community bank and credit union environment, it is used for retail Internet banking, business Internet banking, ATM, driving, voice banking, mobile payment services, card management and POS applications. Postilion is also used by retailers, telecom operators, and third-party payment processors for a broad array of functions including POS applications, card management, Internet shopping, prepaid airtime, prepaid utilities, bill payment, gaming and remote banking.
    IBS Cash Management System is designed to help community banks deliver services to small businesses. Functions include integrated front and back office systems, multiple payment vehicles such as domestic and SWIFT wires, ACH, and EFTPS, integration with the IBS Retail Internet Banking application and Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) data display.
 
    IBS Retail Internet Banking is designed specifically with the unique needs of the community banking market in mind. This turn-key application includes functions such as the ability to view statements, account activity, and cleared and pending transactions online, to transfer funds between accounts and to pay bills electronically.
 
    Voice Banking delivers integrated voice response (“IVR”) functionality in a stable, flexible, Windows-based application. With the push of a button, users can check on a deposit or account balance, find a CD rate, pay bills or transfer funds.
 
    Postilion is a payment solution used by financial institutions, retailers, telecom operators and processors to drive electronic payments through ATMs, POS terminals, phones and Internet access points. It is a modularized family of products that can be implemented in large financial institutions as well as smaller community and regional banks and credit unions.
          Beginning in February 2007, we moved the voice banking functionality onto the Postilion integrated platform. Internet banking functionality will be moved in April 2007 and cash management functionality will be moved in August 2007.
FSB
          FSB offers a full-range of branch banking and lending technology solutions primarily for community financial institutions. The FSB product line is targeted to suit the needs of community financial institutions in North America.
          The FSB applications are divided into four categories including FSB Branch Automation, FSB Banking Call Center, FSB Marketing Center and FSB Lending. An overview of each category is provided below:
    FSB Branch Automation includes FSB Teller and FSB Sales and Services Platform. FSB Teller is a functionally rich, client-server based application that provides the complete set of transactions and core services necessary for the teller function including host communications, sharing and storing of information, cumulative totals, electronic journal, transaction security and approval and balancing aids. The FSB Sales and Services Platform combines extensive transaction processing functionality with sales tools, and core services that expedite selling new products, as well as servicing existing accounts.
 
    FSB Banking Call Center provides the customer information, sales and service capabilities, process flows, reporting, and fulfillment management specific to call center operations. The FSB Banking Call Center application

      integrates with other call center technologies, including IVR systems, computer telephony integration (“CTI”) servers and automatic call distributor systems.
 
    FSB Marketing Center provides our customers the ability to develop and execute marketing campaigns based on multiple segmentations of customers and prospects. It includes robust inbound and outbound telemarketing features that can be combined with advanced CTI functionality to enhance the efficiency of our customers’ marketing personnel.
 
    FSB Lending provides a highly customizable, complete credit origination system designed for indirect, direct, credit card, home equity and revolving credit lending, to be used in conjunction with multiple scoring and decision support tools for the personal lending market. The application also offers a workflow solution that meets small business lending requirements from data entry through qualification, notification, closing and document delivery.
Additional Solutions
    S1 Website Solutions is a virtual financial lobby which provides customers with a destination web site or portal that gives them access to product information, news and other content, as well as community pages and bulletin boards. The S1 Customer Center enables financial institutions to efficiently create, manage and quantify their web presence.
 
    The S1 online adoption solution, marketed as S1 to One Solutions, is designed to help financial institutions of all sizes improve their base of active online users. These solutions range from marketing support to educational programs.
 
    Pay Anyone Bill-Pay services offered through partnerships with Checkfree, Princeton and Metavante through all of our personal on-line banking applications.
 
    Account Aggregation. Through a reseller agreement with Yodlee, Inc. (described in Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report) we provide account aggregation capabilities, which allow the delivery of an integrated balance sheet consolidating, organizing and presenting a consumer’s personal account information from a variety of providers for confidential viewing and access.
 
    Voice and Speech Recognition. Through a strategic relationship with Edify Corporation ( previously an S1 company now a wholly owned subsidiary of Intervoice, Inc.), we provide advanced voice and speech recognition solutions. Edify’s voice solution was one of the first third-party solutions to integrate with the S1 Enterprise Platform. Through this solution, customers benefit from an ability to provide one view of the transactions, transaction history and total banking relationship by providing a consistent view between S1 Enterprise and Edify / Intervoice.
Services
          In addition to licensing software, both the Enterprise and Postilion segments provide a broad array of services to meet the needs of their customers. The services include planning, implementation and customization of customer software applications, as well as ongoing maintenance and support and application hosting services.

          We also provide custom product development, implementation and hosting services to State Farm. Revenues from State Farm were 26%, 25% and 25% of our revenue from continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We expect our State Farm revenue in 2007 to be between $45.0 and $48.0 million.

    Technical Support — Customer support engineers provide technical support for solutions on our products;

We host S1 applications for approximately 350 customers in our global data center facility in Norcross, Georgia, which handles more than 3.2 million end users daily. Our mature operating environment was designed to address mission-critical operations for financial applications, such as security, recovery and availability of data. Our data center is a hardened facility that can scale to support large volumes of customers.
Other Revenue
          Other revenue is principally generated from the resale of certain software and hardware products produced by third-parties and sold by us under reseller agreements to our customers in conjunction with the sale of our products and services.
Financial Industry Background
          There are many factors influencing the competitive environment for financial services providers, including:
    pressure to grow their businesses organically instead of through mergers and acquisitions;
 
    increased security concerns and regulatory requirements; and
 
    the need to minimize information technology and infrastructure costs while meeting the ever-rising consumer expectations for customer service and convenience.
          We believe that the above factors are influencing financial services companies to look for new ways to effectively service and sell to their customers through all of their interaction channels, including the branch (teller and platform), call center, Internet, phone and ATM.

Table of Contents

          As in some other industries, financial services providers can more cost-effectively grow their businesses by cross- selling additional products and services to their existing customers. This is difficult to do if they are not able to understand the needs of their customers and customer segment behavior and intelligently market services and products to these customers. Our solutions are designed to not only provide financial institutions with greater insight into their customer data, but also into the transactions that their customers conduct.
          As each customer interaction channel was introduced, many financial institutions took a tactical approach in expanding their offerings, incrementally adding these new channels as they fit in with their evolving business plans. By and large, each channel functioned independently, with limited, if any, interactions and knowledge of the customer interactions occurring in the other channels. This silo-like infrastructure, often facilitated with several disparate vendors and technologies, has become too expensive for many institutions to support and too inefficient for consumers and businesses to utilize as a basis for interaction with their financial institution. By implementing multiple applications on a single technology platform – the long-term value proposition for many of our solutions — banks are able to reduce the number of technology platforms, interfaces and administrative resources associated with supporting their operations.
          We believe that financial institutions providing a unified experience for their customers across multiple points of interaction, delivered at the lowest possible cost, will have a key competitive advantage. Financial institutions will need to deliver a consistent and compelling experience to their customers and provide them with products and services that better meet their needs and are relevant to their stage in life. We believe it is very challenging for financial institutions to deal with multiple channels, using different vendors and technologies, all of which must be integrated with a variety of legacy applications. Financial institutions must determine how to leverage their existing solutions while moving to new technologies that will protect their investments and better position them for the future.
          In addition to these broad industry drivers, there are other catalysts that are driving new technology purchase decisions in the branch and Internet markets. In October 2005, the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (“FFIEC) announced new guidelines for identity theft prevention for those institutions offering online banking. These guidelines call for multi-factor authentication of a user’s identity before that user is authorized to proceed in conducting an Internet transaction. Many internally developed systems or older systems either do not support these requirements or require a costly investment to bring those systems into compliance. As a result, we believe that banks are likely to evaluate new technologies for their online banking offering to their on-line retail, small business and corporate banking clients. We are developing solutions in conjunction with other technology partners to ensure that our solutions can help our customers satisfy these guidelines.
          Bank branches have been experiencing a significant amount of attention in terms of technology investment over the past several years. Legislation referred to as “Check 21” in the United States, was enacted to recognize that an electronic check is a legal substitute for a paper based check, thus eliminating the need for physical exchange of the paper check for clearing and settlement purposes. While this legislation largely impacts back office clearing operations, the large benefit or opportunity for banks is in the front office deposit capture process. Image capture at the point of deposit such as in teller applications greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of deposit taking, areas where we have a strong offering and complete solution for compliance with Check 21.
          We believe that these factors are influencing the decision on the part of many financial institutions of all sizes to consider new solutions to help them increase revenue opportunities, improve customer loyalty and reduce their costs. We believe our products can address these needs.
Discontinued Operations
Risk and Compliance
          On August 11, 2006, we completed the sale of our Risk and Compliance segment to CETP FRS S.a.r.l. (“CETP”), which provided regulatory reporting solutions with its suite of regulatory reporting, financial intelligence and analytic solutions to the financial institutions world. CETP has contracted with our Pune, India location to continue to provide development and administrative services.

Edify
          In December 2005, we sold our Edify business, which delivered voice and speech recognition solutions to a range of industries, to Intervoice, Inc. We maintain a strategic reseller agreement with Intervoice to offer our customers the Edify voice and speech recognition solutions.
Customers and Markets
          We provide solutions to all sizes of financial institutions, ranging from global financial services organizations to community banks and credit unions. We currently serve approximately 3,000 banks, credit unions and insurance providers and retailers.
          We also provide custom development, implementation and hosting services to State Farm. Revenues from State Farm were 26%, 25% and 25% of our revenues from continuing operations for 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We expect revenues from State Farm to be between $45.0 and $48.0 million in 2007.
Strategic Alliances and Partners
          We have built a global network of more than 15 alliances, allowing us to more fully extend our expertise, capabilities, and reach within the financial services industry. We have established strategic, technology, and channel relationships with a number of organizations. We have alliances with companies such as IBM and numerous core processing vendors such as Misys, Fiserv, and Fidelity National. We also have relationships with key technology providers, including bill payment providers, credit card processing vendors and printed product vendors.
          In certain geographies, including Asia, the Middle East and some European countries, we are using partners as our primary sales channel to increase our market reach.
Sales and Marketing
          Each segment maintains a dedicated sales and marketing team that is focused on marketing and sales of their specific solutions to their target market. Within each group are trained sales support personnel and solutions architects who provide functional and technical expertise to maximize the customer’s understanding of our solutions. We reported revenues from continuing operations of $185.2 million, $179.1 million and $192.3 million in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, of which 89%, 83% and 82%, respectively, were attributed to sales in the United States.
          In the United States, we utilize direct sales teams that call on financial institutions continuously to identify sales opportunities. This group primarily calls on new prospects in the market place. We rely on dedicated relationship managers (“RMs”) for existing customers. RMs are responsible for the full relationship with their assigned customers including customer satisfaction, product and service delivery and cross-selling new and add-on applications and services.
          The sales cycle for large financial institutions generally lasts from six to 18 months and the resulting contracts typically have multi-year terms. Sales to the small community and regional financial institutions are typically executed by both direct and telephone-based sales teams. The sales cycle for these small to mid-sized financial organizations generally lasts from six to nine months, and the contracts entered into with them typically provide for direct delivery and service requirements. In addition, we have relationships with resellers that act as an indirect channel to expand our market penetration.
          In the Europe and Middle East (“EME”) region, we sell primarily through direct sales in specific territories such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, the Nordics, Eastern Europe, Spain, and Portugal, Dubai and most countries in the Middle East, and through resellers in other areas such as Austria, Greece, Jordan, Egypt and Israel. In Africa, we sell on a direct sales basis in South Africa and reseller basis in the rest of Africa. In the Asia Pacific (“APAC”) region, our sales efforts are focused primarily through resellers in countries such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, with direct sales into Australia and New Zealand.

          In addition to internal sales efforts and joint efforts with distribution partners, we market our products and services in other ways to build awareness of our brands: S1 Enterprise, Postilion and Full Service Banking Solutions. Our marketing efforts include participating in and exhibiting at industry conferences and trade shows, hosting an annual user’s conference, maintaining memberships in key industry organizations and establishing close relationships with industry analysts to help guide product development and marketing efforts.
Product Development
          We develop the majority of our product solutions ourselves. Each major product group has dedicated development centers in the United States and internationally. In addition, all of our product groups utilize resources from our Pune, India location to augment their staff for product development as well as implementation services.
          We spent $41.1 million, $40.4 million and $38.9 million on product development efforts related to continuing operations in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. During 2007, we expect product development costs to be between $30.0 and $35.0 million.
          We released our Enterprise 3.5 products from development in a Managed Introduction Program in February 2006. The MIP is designed to enable the entire organization to work with a limited number of customers in pre-production and live production environments. Our applications currently available on S1 Enterprise 3.5 include S1 Personal Banking, S1 Business Banking, S1 Enterprise Teller, S1 Enterprise Sales and Service Platform, S1 Enterprise Call Center and S1 Trade Finance. The applications are available independently or collectively as an integrated solution that gives banks one view of their customers across channels. S1 Trade Finance became available on S1 Enterprise 3.5 in 2007.
          In November 2006, our first client went live on version 3.5 of the S1 Personal Banking application. We expect that a significant portion of our S1 Enterprise installed base of customers will migrate to S1 Enterprise 3.5 in the future.
Competition
          The market for financial software is competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to technological change. We currently perceive our near-term competition as coming from four primary areas: (1) proprietary in-house development organizations of financial institutions, (2) single-point solution vendors, (3) core processing vendors and (4) enterprise solution vendors. We perceive our long-term competition as coming from other enterprise software vendors, but most of our competition currently arises from single-point solution vendors.
In-house Development Organizations
          Some financial institutions retain a significant portion of their software development in-house while others have chosen to use third-party vendor solutions. In-house software development is a source of competition in the sale of our products and services. Generally, only very large organizations have a bias to develop solutions internally. We believe financial organizations may encounter the following challenges when building financial software in-house:
    building, maintaining and upgrading an in-house solution can be very costly;
 
    attracting and retaining the necessary technical personnel can be difficult and costly; and
 
    technological development may be too far outside the financial organization’s core competencies to be effective or successful.
Single-Point Solution Vendors
          These vendors offer solutions for a specific line of business and/or channel for the financial institution. In the retail Internet banking space, we compete primarily with Digital Insight Corporation (a division of Intuit, Inc.), Financial Fusion (a division of Sybase, Inc.), and Corillian Corporation (a division of CheckFree Corporation). In branch banking, we compete

11


Table of Contents

primarily with Argo Data Resource, Inc. and Fidelity Information Services, Inc. In business banking, we compete primarily with Fundtech Ltd., P&H Solutions, Financial Fusion, Inc. and Digital Insight Corporation. In the electronic payment space, we compete primarily with Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. We believe the disadvantages associated with single point solution providers include:
    integrating applications and channels from multiple vendors may greatly lengthen a financial organization’s time-to-market and implementation costs;
 
    operating and upgrading solutions from multiple vendors is typically very costly; and
 
    a combination of best-of-breed solutions across different channels does not provide a single view of the customer.
Core Processing Vendors
          These vendors offer data processing services and outsourcing for financial institutions’ systems of record. In this space, we compete with companies such as Fidelity National, Metavante, Fiserv, Inc. and Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. A number of these companies offer front-office products within a packaged pricing scheme integrated with their core back-office capabilities. We believe the primary disadvantage of this approach is that these front-office applications will lag behind the market to some degree in terms of functions and features and are of a secondary focus to the vendor behind their back-office products and services.
Enterprise Solution Vendors
          As we continue to introduce new releases of our Enterprise products in 2007, we believe we may increasingly see interest and competition from various enterprise software and solution providers, such as SAP and Oracle. We believe our advantage in the financial services market will continue to stem from our deep domain knowledge and tight integration with the various key business systems within our financial organization customer base. Additionally, we believe our large installed base will differentiate our ability to establish, deliver and maintain our core market over time. In addition, we believe our large installed customer base gives us a distinct advantage in serving the needs of this market segment.
Government Regulation
          We are subject to examination and are indirectly regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the various state financial regulatory agencies that supervise and regulate the banks and thrift institutions for which we provide data processing services. Matters subject to review and examination by federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies include our internal controls in connection with our performance of data processing services and the agreements giving rise to those processing activities as well as certain design specification of our software licensed to financial institutions.
          Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce over the Internet are becoming more prevalent. Currently, there are Internet laws regarding copyrights, taxation and the transmission of specified types of material. Congress also adopted legislation imposing obligations on financial institutions to notify their customers of the institution’s privacy practices, restrict the sharing of non-public customer data with non-affiliated parties at the customer’s request, and establish procedures and practices to protect and secure customer data. These privacy provisions are implemented by regulations with which compliance is now required. Additionally, many legislative and regulatory actions have been enacted or are pending at the state and federal level with respect to privacy. Further, we and our customers may be faced with state and federal requirements that differ drastically, and in some cases conflict. In addition, the European Union enacted its own privacy regulations and is currently considering other Internet-related legislation. Laws applicable to internet based transactions remain unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, the growth and development of the market for online financial services, including online banking, may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. We are also subject to encryption and technology export laws which, depending on future developments, could adversely affect our business.

Employees
          As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 1,380 employees, including 450 in customer support, hosting services and professional services, 90 in sales and marketing, 720 in product development and 120 in general and administrative. In addition to full-time employees, we have used the services of various independent contractors primarily for professional services projects and product development.
Available Information
          Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge at our website at www.s1.com as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such materials with, or furnish to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains our reports.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
          You should consider carefully the following risks. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and any fluctuations could adversely affect the price of our common stock
          Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly to date. If we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors as a result of any future fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, the market price of our common stock would likely decline. We may experience fluctuations in future quarters because:
  we cannot accurately predict the number and timing of contracts we will sign in a period, in part because the budget constraints and internal review processes of existing and potential customers are not within our control;
 
  as we will be selling our financial institutions products on both a perpetual license and a term or subscription license, we cannot accurately predict the mix of perpetual licenses to term licenses sold in any one quarter. Term licenses significantly reduce the amount of revenue recognized in the first year of the contract, but is intended to increase the overall revenue earned from the customer during the typical customer life cycle; perpetual license revenue can vary significantly on a quarterly basis;
 
  the length of our sales cycle to large financial organizations generally lasts from six to 18 months, which adds an element of uncertainty to our ability to forecast revenues;
 
  if we fail to or are delayed in the introduction of new or enhanced products, or if our competitors introduce new or enhanced products, sales of our products and services may not achieve expected levels and/or may decline;
 
  our ability to expand the mix of distribution channels through which our products are sold may be limited;
 
  our products may not achieve widespread consumer acceptance, which could cause our revenues to be lower than expected;
 
  we have had significant contracts with legacy customers that have decreased or terminated their services and we may not be able to replace this revenue and / or the gross margins associated with this revenue;
 
  our sales may be constrained by the timing of releases of third-party software that works with our products;

13


Table of Contents

  a significant percentage of our expenses is relatively fixed, and we may be unable to reduce expenses in the short term if revenues decrease; and
 
  the migration of our license sales model to be more focused on recurring revenue contracts may result in less predictable revenue due to an inability to predict the rate at which it is adopted by our customers, or the rate at which it may be deferred.
We have experienced substantial losses in the past and may not achieve or maintain profitable operations in the future
          We incurred losses from continuing operations in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 and from time-to-time make changes in our organizational structure to improve operating efficiencies. These changes can create additional costs during periods of transition, and we could experience losses in the future, which could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
In 2007, we will depend on one customer, State Farm, for a significant portion of our revenue and if that customer terminates its contract with us, our revenues and financial performance would decline
          In 2006, we derived 25% of our total revenues from continuing operations from State Farm. State Farm accounted for 26% and 25% of our total revenue from continuing operations in 2004 and 2005, respectively. We expect revenues from State Farm to be between $45.0 and $48.0 million in 2007. We can give no assurance that we will be able to retain State Farm as a customer. State Farm’s license and possession rights for the source code of the Enterprise and insurance products give them great flexibility on how they choose to further invest in these products.
System failures or performance problems with our products could cause demand for these products to decrease, require us to make significant capital expenditures or impair customer relations
          There are many factors that could adversely affect the performance, quality and desirability of our products. In certain instances, product releases have been delayed. This has impacted and may continue to impact or prevent these products from gaining market acceptance. These factors include, but are not limited to the following:
§   delays in completing and/or testing new products, resulting in significant delays in delivering new products;
 
§   extraordinary end-user volumes or other events could cause systems to fail;
 
§   our products could contain errors, or “bugs”, which could impair the services we provide;
 
§   during the initial implementation of some products, we have experienced significant delays in implementing and integrating software, and we may experience similar difficulties or delays in connection with future implementations and upgrades to new versions; and
 
§   many of our products require integration with third-party products and systems, and we may not be able to integrate these products with new or existing products.
We are subject to government regulation
          We are subject to external audits, examination, and are indirectly regulated, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the various state financial regulatory agencies that supervise and regulate the banks and thrift institutions for which we provide data processing services. Matters subject to review and examination by federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies, and external auditors, include our internal information technology controls in connection with our performance of data processing services and the agreements giving rise to those processing activities.

We are engaged in offshore software development activities, which may not be successful and which may put our intellectual property at risk
          In order to optimize available research and development resources and meet development timeframes, in 2004, we acquired an Indian based development center. This center had been operated by a third party since 2002. In 2004, associated with our acquisition of Mosaic, we acquired a development center in Cape Town, South Africa. While our experience to date with these offshore development centers has been positive, there is no assurance that this will continue. Specifically, there are a number of risks associated with this activity, including but not limited to the following:
§   Communications and information flow may be less efficient and accurate as a consequence of the time zone differences, distance and language differences between our primary development organization and the foreign based activities, resulting in delays in development or errors in the software developed;
 
§   potential disruption from the involvement of the United States in political and military conflicts around the world;
 
§   the quality of the development efforts undertaken offshore may not meet our requirements because of language, cultural and experiential differences, resulting in potential product errors and/or delays;
 
§   we have experienced a greater level of voluntary turnover of personnel in India than in other development centers which could have an adverse impact on efficiency and timeliness of development as well as the opportunity for misappropriation of our intellectual property;
 
§   in addition to the risk of misappropriation of intellectual property from departing personnel, there is a general risk of the potential for misappropriation of our intellectual property that might not be readily discoverable; and
 
§   currency exchange rates could fluctuate and adversely impact the cost advantages intended from maintaining these facilities.
A significant portion of our customers are in a consolidating financial services industry, which is subject to economic changes that could reduce demand for our products and services
          For the foreseeable future, we expect to derive most of our revenue from products and services we provide to the banking and insurance industry and other financial services firms. Changes in economic conditions and unforeseen events, like recession or inflation, could occur and reduce consumers’ use of banking services. Any event of this kind, or implementation for any reason by banks of cost reduction measures, could result in significant decreases in demand for our products and services. Mergers and acquisitions are pervasive in today’s banking industry. Our existing customers may be acquired by or merged into other financial institutions that have their own financial software solutions or decide to terminate their relationships with us for other reasons. As a result, our sales could decline if an existing customer is merged into or acquired by another company.
We are from time to time involved in litigation over proprietary rights, which may be costly and time consuming
          From time to time, we have received claims that certain of our products or other proprietary rights require a license of intellectual property rights of a party and infringe, or may infringe, the intellectual property rights of others. Those claims, regardless of their merit, could:
§   be time-consuming to investigate and defend;
 
§   result in costly litigation;
 
§   cause product shipment delays;
 
§   require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or
 
§   result in an injunction being issued against the use of our products.

15


Table of Contents

Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Litigation to determine the validity of any claims could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from productive tasks, whether or not the litigation is determined in our favor. In the event of an adverse ruling, we may be required to:
§   pay substantial damages;
 
§   discontinue the use and sale of infringing products;
 
§   expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology; or
 
§   obtain licenses to infringing technology.
          Our failure to develop or license a substitute technology could significantly harm our business.
Our operating results would suffer if we were subject to a protracted infringement claim or a significant damage award.
          Substantial intellectual property litigation and threats of litigation exist in our industry. The number of patents issued protecting software and business methods have grown significantly in recent years, with the scope of such patents often unclear. Additionally, copyright and trade secrets are regularly asserted as a means for protecting software. We expect software to be increasingly subject to third-party intellectual property infringement claims as a result of the increased level of intellectual property based actions relating to such technology and methods and as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps.
          Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents or assert copyrights and/or trade secrets that would be infringed by our products or technology. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our products or technology. In some instances, our customers may be accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. As a result, we provide limited indemnity for our customers against infringement claims. Even if such accusations ultimately prove lacking in merit, the disposition of such disputes may be costly, distracting, and result in damages, royalties, or injunctive relief preventing the use of the intellectual property in question and may require entering into licensing agreements, redesigning our products or ceasing production entirely.
          Any claims, with or without merit, could have the following negative consequences:
§   costly litigation and damage awards;
 
§   diversion of management attention and resources;
 
§   product shipment delays or suspensions;
 
§   injunction prohibiting us from selling our products; and
 
§   the need to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Acquisitions and divestitures may be costly and difficult to integrate / divest, divert management resources or dilute stockholder value
          We acquired three companies in 2004 and one company in 2005. We also divested one company in 2004, one company in 2005 and one company in 2006. The integration of these companies and any future acquisitions into our existing operations is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process and may disrupt our business. With acquisitions made prior to 2001, we have encountered difficulties, costs and delays in integrating the acquired operations with our own and may continue to do so in the future. Among the issues related to integration are:

16


Table of Contents

§   potential incompatibility of business cultures;
 
§   potential delays in rationalizing diverse technology platforms;
 
§   potential difficulties in coordinating geographically separated organizations;
 
§   potential difficulties in re-training sales forces to market all of our products across all of our intended markets;
 
§   potential difficulties implementing common internal business systems and processes;
 
§   potential conflicts in third-party relationships; and
 
§   the loss of key employees and diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns.
Market volatility may affect the price of our common stock
          The trading prices of technology stocks in general and ours in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations. Our stock price has declined significantly since reaching a high in 2000. Any further negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of technology based companies, particularly those which are associated with the Internet or e-commerce such as ours, could further depress our stock price regardless of our results of operations. Other broad market and industry factors may decrease the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions such as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, also may decrease the trading price of our common stock. In addition, our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to the following factors:
§   actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
 
§   34% of our common stock is owned by 5 institutions, a rapid change in position of any one of these holders could cause a significant drop in our stock price if market demand is insufficient to meet sales demand;
 
§   announcements of new products, product enhancements, technological innovations or new services by us or our competitors;
 
§   changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
§   conditions or trends in the computer software, electronic commerce and Internet industries;
 
§   changes in the market valuations of other technology companies;
 
§   developments in Internet regulations;
 
§   announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
§   unscheduled system downtime of our products in either a hosted or in-house environment;
 
§   additions or departures of key personnel; and
 
§   sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market could negatively affect our stock price
          If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued when options are

17


Table of Contents

exercised or shares of our preferred stock are converted into common stock, the market price of our common stock could fall. As of March 1, 2007, we had 61.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or conversion of preferred stock. As of March 1, 2007, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase 9.4 million shares of our common stock, 0.2 million shares of unvested restricted stock and 0.8 million shares of preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of our common stock. The common stock issuable after vesting and upon exercise of these options and upon conversion of this preferred stock will be eligible for sale in the public market from time to time. The possible sale of a significant number of these shares may cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
Our market is highly competitive and if we are unable to keep pace with evolving technology our revenue and future prospects may decline
          The market for our products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, intense competition and evolving industry standards. We have many competitors who offer various components of our suite of applications or who use a different technology platform to accomplish similar tasks. In some cases, our existing customers also use some of our competitors’ products. Our future success will depend on our ability to develop, sell and support enhancements of current products and new software products in response to changing customer needs. If the completion of the next version of any of our products is delayed, our revenue and future prospects could be harmed. In addition, competitors may develop products or technologies that the industry considers more attractive than those we offer or that render our technology obsolete.
International operations may adversely affect us
          We conduct our business worldwide and may be adversely affected by changes in demand resulting from:
§   fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
§   governmental currency controls;
 
§   changes in various regulatory requirements;
 
§   political and economic changes and disruptions;
 
§   difficulties in enforcing our contracts in foreign jurisdictions;
 
§   export/import controls;
 
§   tariff regulations;
 
§   difficulties in staffing and managing foreign sales and support operations;
 
§   greater difficulties in trade accounts receivable collection; and
 
§   possible adverse tax consequences.
          Our solutions use encrypted technology, the export of which is regulated by the United States government. If the United States government were to adopt new legislation restricting the export of software or encryption technology, we could experience delays or reductions in our shipments of products internationally. In addition, existing or future export regulations could limit our ability to distribute our solutions outside of the United States.
          We maintain international offices and portions of our maintenance, consulting, and research and development operations in Europe, Africa and Asia. Therefore, our operations may also be affected by economic conditions in international regions. The risks associated with international operations may harm our business.

Infringement of our proprietary technology could hurt our competitive position and income potential
     Our success depends upon our proprietary technology and information. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality procedures to protect our proprietary technology and information. Because it is difficult to police unauthorized use of software, the steps we have taken to protect our services and products may not prevent misappropriation of our technology. Any misappropriation of our proprietary technology or information could reduce any competitive advantages we may have or result in costly litigation. We now also have a significant international presence. The laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary technology as well as the laws of the United States. Our ability to protect our proprietary technology abroad may not be adequate.
If we are unable to attract and retain highly skilled technical employees, we may not be able to compete
     Based on the need for highly skilled technical employees, we believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical personnel. Because the development of our software requires knowledge of computer hardware, as well as a variety of software applications, we need to attract and retain technical personnel who are proficient in all these disciplines. There is substantial competition for employees with the technical skills we require. If we cannot hire and retain talented technical personnel, this could adversely affect our growth prospects and future success.
The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet, or interpretations of existing law, could adversely affect our business
     Laws and regulations which apply to communications and commerce over the Internet are becoming more prevalent. Currently, there are Internet laws regarding copyrights, taxation and the transmission of specified types of material. Congress also adopted legislation imposing obligations on financial institutions to notify their customers of the institution’s privacy practices, restrict the sharing of non-public customer data with non-affiliated parties at the customer’s request, and establish procedures and practices to protect and secure customer data. These privacy provisions are implemented by regulations with which compliance is now required. Additionally, many legislative and regulatory actions have been enacted or are pending at the state and federal level with respect to privacy. Further, our customers and we may be faced with state and federal requirements that differ drastically, and in some cases conflict. In addition, the European Union enacted its own privacy regulations and is currently considering other Internet-related legislation. The law of the Internet, however, remains largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, the growth and development of the market for online financial services, including online banking, may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online.

          There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which S1 or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which their property is subject.
          As previously reported, we were involved in litigation with Tradecard, Inc. relating to a claim of infringement of U.S. Patent 6,151,588 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action was filed March 2003 against S1 Corporation, Bank of America Corporation and Bank of America National Association. In March 2006, a jury decided in our favor that we were not infringing and that Tradecard’s patent is invalid. Tradecard has submitted a motion to the Federal District Court for reconsideration of the verdict. If that motion is denied, Tradecard may appeal the jury verdict to the Federal Court of Appeals.

          As of the close of business on March 1, 2007 there were 545 holders of record of our common stock. We have never paid or declared cash dividends on our common stock or preferred stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, although there are no restrictions on our ability to do so.

          The following table sets forth comparative information regarding the cumulative stockholder return on our common stock since December 31, 2002. Total stockholder return is measured by dividing cumulative dividends for the measurement period (assuming dividend reinvestment) plus share price change for the period by the share price at the beginning of the measurement period. Neither S1 nor Security First Network Bank has paid dividends on its common stock from the date of the initial public offering of Security First Network Bank, May 26, 1996, to December 31, 2006. Our cumulative stockholder return over this period is based on an investment of $100 on December 31, 2002 and is compared to the cumulative total return of the Interactive Week Internet Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
          This annual report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our subsidiaries and us. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends” or similar terminology identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made using information currently available to management. Because these statements reflect the current views of management concerning future events, they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to read the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available.
          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Executive Overview
          We operate and manage our business with segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents global banking solutions and our insurance solutions, which includes our business with State Farm. The Postilion segment represents the community financial business, global ATM/payments business, and the legacy full service banking and lending business in North America.
          Our Enterprise segment software supports the primary channels a bank uses to interact with its customers, including self service channels like the Internet for personal, business and corporate online banking and trade finance, and full service channels such as teller, branch and call center. In the community bank and credit union market, our Postilion segment provides online personal and business banking applications as well as a telephone banking applications in a single-channel platform that offers a balance between cost, feature set and performance. Our Postilion segment also provides full service banking including the teller at the branch, sales and service activities including new account opening and the call center agent’s desktop applications. In addition, we offer our payment’s platform which provides software that operates ATM networks and POS debit card transaction processing networks.
          We sell our solutions primarily to traditional financial services providers, such as banks and insurance companies, as well as non-traditional financial providers, such as retailers and telecommunication companies. Our solutions address the needs of small, mid-sized and large financial organizations. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from licensing our solutions and providing professional services. We generate recurring revenue from support and maintenance as well as from hosting revenue related to hosting applications and electronic bill payment services sold to customers in our data center. We also generate recurring revenues by charging our customers a periodic fee for term licenses including the right-to-use software and receive maintenance and support for a specified period of time. For certain customers, this fee includes the right to receive hosting services. In discussions with our customers and investors, we use the term “subscription” as being synonymous with a term license. We intend to primarily license our Postilion suite of online and telephone banking applications primarily on a subscription basis wherein revenue will be recognized evenly over the term of the contract. We have previously licensed the S1 Enterprise suite of products on both a perpetual and subscription basis, but we are moving back to licensing these solutions primarily on a perpetual basis.
          Through a series of acquisitions, we have assembled a set of software solutions that address fundamentally all the customer facing transactions and activities of a bank. These legacy products were written in different software programming

25


Table of Contents

languages. In 2001, we began combining the features, functions, business logic and data model for all the channels into one Java J2EE platform with an open architecture designed to provide for inter-operability and data sharing between various customer facing applications. This suite of products is known as S1 Enterprise solutions. Enterprise products are licensed on a module by module basis, for example Internet personal banking, business banking, or call center, and also can be implemented either in a single project or over a period of time as a full suite across all the customer facing applications of a bank.
          We sell our solutions to small, mid-sized and large financial organizations in two geographic regions: (i) the Americas region and (ii) the International region. Additional information about our business, geographic disclosures and major customers is presented in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. Our S1 Enterprise solutions target larger banks and insurance companies, while our Postilion solutions target community and regional banks and credit unions with self service banking applications and the full range of banks and retailers within the suite of payment applications. We have approximately 3,000 financial institution customers, the majority of which are located in the United States.
          Throughout 2006, we continued to invest in the development of the integrated S1 Enterprise Platform as the technology foundation for the S1 Enterprise family of products. We released our Enterprise 3.5 products from development in a Managed Introduction Program (“MIP”) in February 2006. The MIP is designed to enable the entire organization to work with a limited number of customers in pre-production and live production environments.
          S1 applications currently available on S1 Enterprise 3.5 include S1 Personal Banking, S1 Business Banking, S1 Enterprise Teller, S1 Enterprise Sales and Service Platform, S1 Enterprise Call Center and S1 Trade Finance. The applications are available independently or collectively as an integrated solution that gives banks one view of their customers across channels. S1 Trade Finance became available on S1 Enterprise 3.5 in 2007.
          In November 2006, our first client went live on version 3.5 of the S1 Personal Banking application. We expect that a significant portion of our S1 Enterprise installed base of customers will migrate to S1 Enterprise 3.5 in the future.
          We are investing in our next-generation community banking solution sold by our Postilion segment which will include our personal Internet and voice banking, cash management and ATM/payments solutions integrated on our Postilion payments solution platform. In addition, our Postilion segment offers lending solutions and the following full service branch applications: teller, sales and service platform, call center, voice banking and analytics.
          Historically, we have not capitalized software development costs because of the insignificant amount of costs incurred between technological feasibility and general customer release. If the amount of time between the completion of beta testing and general customer release lengthens, we may be required to capitalize certain software development costs in the future.
          Including merger related costs and restructuring charges of $12.5 million in 2006 and $15.0 million in 2005, our total operating expenses were $208.2 million in 2006, $209.5 million in 2005 and $177.3 million in 2004. In 2006, we completed the process of restructuring the Postilion and Enterprise segments in which we reorganized our operating structure by product line. Under the new structure, we are organized as business units designed around products and addressable markets. We believe that the new structure will more effectively align the company with the needs of our customers. In 2006, we eliminated an additional 126 positions worldwide and closed or consolidated several office facilities to further streamline our business. We continue to operate with a disciplined approach to control costs throughout our organization.
2005 Business Acquisition
          In the third quarter of 2005, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Providus Software Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Zions Bancorporation that offered risk management and regulatory compliance products. We paid cash consideration of $0.9 million upon the closing of the transaction. The product was integrated into our Risk and Compliance business, which was sold in 2006. Zions continues to be a customer of ours for retail banking products.

2004 Business Acquisitions
          In the fourth quarter of 2004, we acquired Mosaic Software Holdings, Limited, a United Kingdom based provider of solutions that drive ATMs and electronic payment networks. This acquisition added a leading financial transaction solution to our suite of products and enabled us to offer financial services providers an ATM channel solution along with our front-office suite. We paid cash consideration of $37.0 million upon the closing of the transaction. In 2006, we paid $14.0 million to settle the earn-out under the purchase agreement.
          In the third quarter of 2004, we acquired X/Net Associates, Inc., a Rochester, New York based provider of lending solutions. This acquisition strengthened our product offering around lending solutions and accelerated the development of additional lending functionality. In September 2004, we announced general availability of our S1 Lending Solutions product. We paid cash consideration of $4.0 million for this business. Under the agreement, additional consideration could be paid to one shareholder of X/Net, who is also an S1 employee, if certain financial metrics are achieved. There was a maximum of $1.0 million that could be earned in the period from August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005 and $2.0 million that could be earned in the period from August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we reached an agreement with the shareholder of X/Net to settle the earn-out as of December 31, 2005. We recorded $0.2 million of contingent consideration as compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, we agreed to pay an additional $0.3 million in August 2007 and upon the completion of certain goals. This payment will be accrued as compensation expense over the period in which it is earned.
          In the second quarter of 2004, we purchased a business unit from vMoksha Technologies, Private Limited in order to establish a wholly owned software development center in Pune, India. Previously, this Company provided software development, programming and other related services for S1. This acquisition was intended to reduce our costs and provide greater flexibility and control over the quality of the development and professional services efforts from this center. We paid cash consideration of approximately $1.2 million for the business unit.
Revenue from Significant Customers
          Revenues from State Farm were 46%, 49% and 48% of our Enterprise segment and 26%, 25% and 25% of our revenues from continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Revenues from State Farm for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased approximately $2.5 million from 2005. We expect State Farm to contribute between $45.0 and $48.0 million to revenue for 2007.
Restructuring Charges and Merger Related Costs
          In 2003 and prior, we approved restructuring plans. In 2005 and 2006, we evaluated the sublease assumptions from these plans and recorded additional charges of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The changes to our assumptions were related to increased loss on facilities due to lower expected sublease income and increased costs of exiting the facility at end of the lease.
          In October 2005, we announced changes to our organization that reduced operating costs and more effectively aligned our Company with the needs of our customers. The reorganization resulted in a reduction of personnel of approximately 8% as well as consolidation of some facilities. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $15.0 million in restructuring costs in 2005, primarily comprised of charges for severance costs associated with headcount reductions, lease payments associated with excess office space and the write-off of fixed assets. The expense reductions primarily are related to our domestic and international core financial institution service solution teams. In 2006, we evaluated the sublease assumptions and recorded additional charges of $1.5 million related to increased loss on facilities due to lower expected sublease income.
          In the fourth quarter of 2006, we announced additional changes to our organization to reduce operating costs as we aligned our Company more closely with our customers. The reorganization resulted in the reduction of approximately 126 employees in the United States and Europe as well as the consolidation of some facilities. The estimated gross annual savings rendered by these actions will total approximately $12.0 million by the end of 2007, but are expected to be partially offset by increases in operating costs associated with expected revenue growth in certain operating units. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $12.1 million in restructuring costs in 2006, primarily comprised of charges associated with headcount reductions and consolidation of excess office space. The headcount reductions were primarily in our services,

Table of Contents

support, data center and support groups for the Enterprise segment in North America. In 2006, we reduced accrued expenses and recognized a benefit in merger related expense of $2.0 million in connection with a dispute over professional services during 2000. We reduced the accrual with legal consultation taking into consideration the applicable statute of limitations. The Company believes that no obligation exists at December 31, 2006.
          For all restructuring plans, we expect to make future cash expenditures, net of anticipated sublease income, related to these restructuring activities of approximately $19.5 million, of which we anticipate paying approximately $9.0 to $10.0 million within the next twelve months.
          Adjustments to the restructuring accrual may be recorded in the future due to changes in estimates of lease termination reserves arising from changing real estate market conditions. For additional information about the restructuring activities, including a tabular presentation of our restructuring charges, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
Discontinued Operations
          In November 2004, we sold our Davidge business, in December 2005, we completed the sale of our Edify segment and in August 2006, we sold our Risk and Compliance segment. For further information related to discontinued operations, see note 4 to our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under other assumptions or conditions.
     Critical accounting policies are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies include those related to:
  revenue recognition;
 
  estimation of our allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments;
 
  valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill;
 
  valuation of acquired businesses;
 
  determination of technological feasibility and capitalization of software development costs;
 
  determination of the fair value of employee stock options;
 
  recognition of costs in connection with restructuring plans and merger-related activities;
 
  reserve for contingencies; and
 
  income taxes.
          Revenue recognition. Revenue is a key component of our results of operations and is a key metric used by management, securities analysts and investors to evaluate our performance. Our revenue arrangements generally include

28


Table of Contents

multiple elements such as license fees for software products, installation services, customization services, training services, post-contract customer support, hosting and data center services and, in some cases, hardware or other third party products.
          Software license revenue. We recognize software license sales in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2 With Respect to Certain Transactions,” as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is reasonably assured and (3) the fee is fixed or determinable. In certain of these arrangements, vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all elements of the arrangement. If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the delivered element and exists for all undelivered elements, we use the residual method under SOP No. 98-9.
          When the professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we record revenue for the license and professional services over the implementation period using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract. For software licenses where the license term does not begin until installation is complete, we recognize license and professional services revenue when we complete the installation of the software.
          For subscription license arrangements where we sell customers the rights to unspecified products as well as unspecified upgrades and enhancements during a specified term, the license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. For license arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or determinable, the license revenue is generally recognized as payments become due.
          Support and maintenance revenue. Revenues for post-contract customer support and maintenance are recognized ratably over the contract period.
          Professional services revenue. Revenues derived from arrangements to provide professional services on a time and materials basis are recognized as the related services are performed. For other revenues from professional services that are provided on a fixed fee basis, revenues are recognized pursuant to SAB 104 “Revenue Recognition” on a proportional performance method based upon labor hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor hours to complete the project. Provisions for estimated losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
          Data center revenue. We recognize data center revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 and Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We also consider the applicability of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-03, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” to our data center arrangements on a contract-by-contract basis. If it is determined that a software element covered by SOP No. 97-2 is present in a hosting arrangement, the license, professional services and data center revenue is recognized pursuant to SOP No. 97-2. If it is determined that a software element covered by SOP No. 97-2 is not present in a hosting arrangement, we recognize revenue for the arrangement pursuant to SAB No. 104 and EITF 00-21.
          See a full discussion of our revenue recognition policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
          Our contractual arrangements are evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis and often require our judgment and estimates that affect the classification and timing of revenue recognized in our statements of operations. Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:
  whether the fees associated with our products and services are fixed or determinable;
 
  whether or not collection of our fees is reasonably assured;
 
  whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software product;

29


Table of Contents

  whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage of completion method; and
 
  whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our products and services.
          Additionally, we may be required to make the following estimates:
  percentage of labor hours incurred to date to the estimated total labor hours for each contract;
 
  provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts; and
 
  the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts or billing adjustments.
          If other judgments or assumptions were used in the evaluation of our revenue arrangements, the timing and amounts of revenue recognized may have been significantly different. For instance, many of our revenue arrangements are accounted for using the percentage of completion method since the services are considered essential to the functionality of the software. If it was determined that those services were not essential to the functionality of the software, we may have recognized the license revenue upon delivery of the license, provided other required criteria were satisfied. Further, if we determined that we cannot make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage of completion method, we would defer all revenue and recognize it upon completion of the contract.
          Estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments. We are required to report accounts receivable at the amount we expect to collect from our customers. As a result, we are required to use our judgment to estimate the likelihood that certain receivables may not be collected or that we might offer future discounts or concessions for previously billed amounts. Accordingly, we have established a discount allowance for estimated billing adjustments and a bad debt allowance for estimated amounts that we will not collect. We report provisions for billing adjustments as a reduction of revenue and provisions for bad debts as a component of selling expense. We review specific accounts for collectibility based on circumstances known to us at the date of our financial statements. In addition, we maintain reserves based on historical billing adjustments and write-offs. These estimates are based on historical discounts, concessions and bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Accordingly, our judgments and estimates about the collectibility of our accounts receivable affect revenue, selling expense and the carrying value of our accounts receivable.
          Property and equipment. We report property and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. We amortize leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvement or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Gains or losses recognized on disposal or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
          Valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be assessed by comparing their carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows expected to be derived from such assets. If such evaluation indicates a potential impairment, we use discounted cash flows to measure fair value in determining the amount of the long-lived assets that should be written off. For long-term cost and equity investments, we write-down their carrying values if it is determined that an impairment is other than temporary. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, the following:
  significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
 
  significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy of our overall business;
 
  significant negative industry or economic trends;
 
  significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
 
  our market capitalization relative to net book value.

          If other assumptions and estimates were used in our evaluations, the timing and amount of the charges may have been significantly different. At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of these investments was $1.0 million.
          SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which we adopted on January 1, 2003, requires us to perform an annual test of goodwill value to determine whether or not it has been impaired. Based on the results of our initial and annual tests, except as explained in the following paragraph, the fair value of our reporting units exceeds their carrying value. While we no longer record amortization expense for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets, future events and changes in circumstances may require us to record a significant impairment charge in any given period.
          Valuation of acquired businesses. We made three acquisitions in 2004 and one acquisition in 2005. We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at date of acquisition. Prior to this allocation, we are required to identify intangible assets and assign a value to these intangible assets based on their fair value. Determining the fair value of identifiable intangible assets requires management to estimate future cash flows for the related assets and the useful life of such assets. The excess of the cost of the acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives and goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Consequently, our estimates determine the timing and the amount of expense recognized in our financial statements.
          Determination of technological feasibility and capitalization of software development costs. We are required to assess when technological feasibility occurs for products that we develop. Based on our judgment, we have determined that technological feasibility for our products generally occurs when we complete beta testing. Because of the insignificant amount of costs incurred between completion of beta testing and general customer release, we have not capitalized any software development costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If we determined that technological feasibility had occurred at an earlier point in the development cycle and that subsequent production costs incurred before general availability of the product were significant, we would have capitalized those costs and recognized them over future periods. We continue to monitor changes in the software development cycle and may be required to capitalize certain software development costs in the future.
          Determination of the fair value of equity based compensation. We are required to determine the fair value of stock options when they are granted to our employees for the purpose of calculating and recognizing the related compensation expense. Prior to January 1, 2006, the pro-forma expense was presented in a footnote.
          Effective January 1, 2006, we have adopted SFAS No. 123R using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, the compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 included compensation expense for share based compensation granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 and compensation expense for share-based compensation granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. In determining the fair value, management makes certain estimates related primarily to the expected life of the option or stock appreciation right and the volatility of our stock. These assumptions affect the estimated fair value of the option. As such, these estimates will affect the compensation expense we record in future periods. Additionally, we are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and adjust them over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimates. These estimates affect the timing of the compensation expense we record.
          Recognition of costs in connection with restructuring plans and merger-related activities. During the last two years, we recorded charges in connection with various restructuring activities. See further discussion of the terms of these charges in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
          Following the adoption of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” we establish a liability for the estimated fair value of exit costs at the date we incur a liability under an approved restructuring plan. At that time and thereafter until the plan activities are complete, the actual costs or timing of payments associated with the plan may differ from our estimates. We use our judgment and information available to us at the date of the financial statements to reevaluate our initial estimates of the exit costs. If we believe that our previous estimates of exit costs or timing of payments are no longer accurate in light of current conditions, we adjust the liability with a corresponding increase or

31


Table of Contents

decrease to current period earnings. Any adjustments to estimates of our exit costs under restructuring plans are reflected on the same line item in the statement of operations as the initial charge to establish the restructuring liability. Additionally, in periods subsequent to the initial measurement, we increase the carrying amount of the liability by the amount of accretion recorded as an expense due to the passage of time.
          Accrued restructuring costs at year end reflect our estimate of the fair value of future rental obligations and other costs associated with office space that we do not plan to use in our operations as a result of the restructuring plans, offset by our estimate of the fair value of sublease income for this space. The determination of fair value is based on a discounted future cash flow model using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. While we know the terms of our contractual lease obligations and related future commitments, we must estimate when and under what terms we will be able to sublet the office space, if at all. Such estimates require a substantial amount of judgment, especially given current real estate market conditions. Actual sublease terms may differ substantially from our estimates. Any future changes in our estimates of lease termination reserves could materially impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
          In connection with the acquisition of certain businesses, we established reserves for certain contingencies that existed at the date of acquisition. At that time, we believed that the resolution of the contingency would result in future cash expenditures that we estimated based on the information available at the date of acquisition. As those contingencies are resolved, we reduce the related liabilities for any related cash disbursements or if we determine that the contingency is no longer likely to result in a loss.
          Reserve for contingencies. When a loss contingency exists, we are required to evaluate the likelihood that a future event or events will confirm the loss. SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” states that a company must accrue for a loss contingency by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
          Income taxes. We have recorded a valuation allowance on most of our deferred tax assets. In order to release the valuation allowance we must show a history of sustained profitability. At such time we will make a determination to reverse all or a portion of the valuation allowance related to domestic net operating loss carryforwards based on estimates at such time regarding our future earnings and the recoverability of the domestic net operating loss carryforwards. A portion of any such reversal could have a positive impact on our income tax benefit and our earnings in the period in which it is reversed. It is unlikely that we will reverse any of this valuation allowance before 2008.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
          In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154. “Accounting Changes and Error Correction – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006 as required. SFAS No. 154 had no impact on our financial statements.
          In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, this interpretation prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. This interpretation also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our financial statements.

          In September 2006, the SEC released SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements by Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Prior practice allowed the evaluation of materiality on the basis of (1) the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (rollover method) or (2) the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was misstated (iron curtain method). Reliance on either method in prior years could have resulted in misstatement of the financial statements. The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality. Immaterial prior year errors may be corrected with the first filling of prior year financial statements after adoption. The cumulative effect of the correction would be reflected in the opening balance sheet with appropriate disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error corrected in the cumulative adjustment, as well as a disclosure of the cause of the error and that the error had been deemed to be immaterial in the past. We believe that SAB 108 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements “. This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. The standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement based on an exchange transaction in which the entity sells an asset or transfers a liability (exit price). SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to fair value based on an entity’s own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, earlier application is encouraged. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-03 “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-03”). Under EITF 06-03, a company must disclose its accounting policy regarding the gross or net presentation of certain taxes. If taxes included in gross revenues are significant, a company must disclose the amount of such taxes for each period for which an income statement is presented (i.e., both interim and annual periods). Taxes within the scope of this EITF are those that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. Taxes assessed on an entity’s activities over a period of time, such as gross receipts taxes, are not within the scope of the EITF. EITF 06-03 is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. We will continue to report taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis after adoption of EITF 06-03.

          Total revenues increased $13.2 million or 7% to $192.3 million in 2006 from $179.1 in 2005. Both the Enterprise and Postilion segments experienced increases in revenue, due primarily to professional services and data center growth. Enterprise revenues increased $8.2 million or 9% to $100.3 million in 2006 from $92.1 million in 2005. Our Postilion revenues increased $5.1 million or 6% to $92.1 million from $87.0 million in 2006.
          In 2005 and 2006, we licensed our Enterprise suite of products, Lending, and our Postilion suite of products and future versions as well as certain other applications primarily on a subscription basis. Subscription license revenue is recognized evenly over the term of the contract which is typically between 12 and 60 months, whereas perpetual license revenue is generally recognized upon execution of the contract and delivery or on a percentage of completion basis over the installation period. Subscription, or term, licenses combine the right to use the licensed software and the right to receive support and maintenance and unspecified enhancements into one periodic fee and typically do not transfer the rights to the software to the customer at the end of the initial term. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, all Enterprise products will primarily be offered on a perpetual license basis. In addition, we expect to continue to provide perpetual licenses through sales of our legacy products, including add-on sales to customers with existing perpetual licenses, as well as through our reseller channels. With the move to perpetual licenses for all of our Enterprise products going forward, license revenues may fluctuate depending on the amount, timing and nature of customer licensing activity in the future. In some instances, we saw that our announcement regarding the exploration of strategic alternatives discouraged some customers from entering into long-term contracts. We expect licensing activity will increase following the conclusion of our strategic assessment.
          Revenues for our Enterprise segment were $100.3 million for 2006 compared with $92.1 million in 2005. The increase in revenues from our Enterprise segment during 2006 is primarily due to growth in our professional services and data center revenues. Segment license revenue increased $1.6 million and includes a one-time $2.8 million perpetual license for our Corporate Banking application. Support and maintenance revenues for our Enterprise segment declined in 2006 by $2.3 million to $14.3 million, of which $1.2 million is attributable to the decline in activity related to the reseller agreement with Intervoice. In 2005 sales to new customers licensing Enterprise 3.5 were sold primarily on a subscription basis, whereby revenue is recorded in software license, including fees relating to support and maintenance. The remainder of the decline was due primarily to product delays and customer attrition. Services revenue increased $5.3 million or 11% to $54.9 million in 2006 primarily in our insurance products. Services revenue in any one quarter can be impacted by large customer projects and, therefore, can increase or decrease based on the projects in process or completed. Data center revenues were $21.1 million in 2006, an increase of $4.6 million or 28% over 2005. A significant portion of the increase is due to one large international customer that went live in our global data center in late 2005 and one in early 2006. Increases in user counts among existing customers contributed to the data center revenue growth as well. Other revenues are primarily related to the sale of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenues fluctuate based on the mix of products and services sold in connection with particular transactions. There is minimal gross margin associated with other revenue.
          Revenues for our Postilion segment were $92.1 million in 2006, compared with $87.0 million in 2005. Postilion software licenses increased $0.8 million in 2006 due to growth of subscription licenses in our Internet and voice banking

business. Segment support and maintenance revenues increased in 2006 by $2.1 million or 8% over 2005 led mainly by increases in the full service banking product. Services revenue decreased $0.4 million to $15.4 million in 2006 as services in FSB decreased due to completion of a large customer project offset by increased services for POS/ATM customers. Data center revenue was $25.7 million in 2006; an increase of $2.3 million over 2005, due primarily to increases in the number of hosted customers and user counts as well as an increase of bill pay users. Other revenues are primarily related to the sale of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenues fluctuate based on the mix of products and services sold in connection with particular transactions. There is minimal gross margin associated with other revenue.
          Direct Costs. Direct costs increased by $3.5 million to $93.3 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs were 50% and 49% in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Enterprise segment, as a percentage of revenues, had direct costs of 63% and 56% in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Postilion segment, as a percentage of revenues, had direct costs of 36% and 40% in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Direct costs exclude charges for depreciation of property and equipment.
          Cost of software licenses includes the cost of software components that we license from third parties as well as the amortization of purchased technology. In general, the cost of third party software licenses for our products is minimal because we internally develop most of the software components, the cost of which is reflected in product development expense as it is incurred. The cost of software licenses could increase in future periods as we license and install more of our new Enterprise products. These products include software components that we license from third parties. The cost of software licenses will vary with the mix of products sold. Overall, software license costs were 18% and 15% of software license revenue in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The cost of license decreased in 2006 primarily in the Enterprise segment due to license costs associated with Edify segment sold in 2005 related to selling Edify products to Enterprise customers while Edify was still part of S1. Purchased technology amortization was $3.7 million and $3.6 million for 2005 and 2006, respectively. Cost of licenses is expected to decrease as certain intangibles related to the Postilion segment become fully amortized in 2007.
          Costs of professional services, support and maintenance consist primarily of personnel and related infrastructure costs. Direct costs associated with professional services, support and maintenance were $65.2 million in 2006, an increase of $1.6 million over 2005. In 2005, we recorded a loss of $1.7 million in the Enterprise segment related to estimated future costs to complete service projects where our expected costs will exceed the contractual revenues. Postilion segment costs increased in 2006 as the segment aligned itself to focus on customer retention and converted existing customers to subscription revenues. Costs of professional services, support and maintenance included stock based compensation expense of $0.5 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenue, costs of professional services, support and maintenance were 58% and 57% of related revenues in 2005 and 2006.
          Costs of data center consist primarily of personnel costs, facility costs and related infrastructure costs to support our data center business as well as third party bill payment fees. A portion of the data center direct costs are fixed. As such, the incremental costs to add customers and/or users are minimal. Direct data center costs increased $3.2 million to $22.4 million in 2006 from $19.2 million in 2005, due primarily to support costs for the migration of new platforms, security initiatives and costs to move our disaster recovery functions in house during 2006. Additionally, we had stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million in 2006. Bill pay usage increased for our Postilion segment in 2006 in which cost margins are lower than our internal cost margins. Data center costs as a percentage of revenues were 48% in both 2005 and 2006.
          Costs of other revenues consist primarily of hardware and software resold to our customers. The costs were down $0.9 million to $1.1 million in 2006 as the Enterprise segment reduced the amount of hardware resold.
          Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses decreased $0.5 million to $27.7 million in 2006 from $28.2 million in 2005. Selling and marketing expenses for the Enterprise segment were down $2.1 million, primarily attributable to the reduction in force as part of the October 2005 reorganization. Selling and marketing expenses for the Postilion segment increased $1.6 million as compared with 2005, due to increased commission expense paid related to the incentives offered to salespeople to convert customers from perpetual licenses to long term subscription licenses in the community financial business in 2006. Selling and marketing expenses included stock based compensation expense of $1.6 million in 2006.

          Product Development Expenses. Total product development expenses decreased by $1.5 million to $38.9 million in 2006 from $40.4 million in 2005. Product development expenses for the Enterprise segment were down $3.3 million due to headcount reductions in late 2005. Product development expenses for the Postilion segment increased $1.9 million as we developed a new integrated platform combining the ATM/payment product and our community financial Internet and voice banking products. Product development expenses included stock based compensation expense of $1.0 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses were 23% and 20% during 2005 and 2006, respectively.
          Historically we have not capitalized software development costs because of the insignificant amount of costs incurred between technological feasibility and general customer release. However, if the amount of time between the completion of beta testing and general customer release lengthens, we may be required to capitalize certain software development costs in the future.
          General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to $26.7 million in 2006 from $26.0 million in 2005. This increase was primarily related to $1.9 million of costs related to the exploration of strategic alternatives and stock based compensation expense of $1.9 million in 2006, and partially offset by a reduction in personnel related expenses as a result of the October, 2005 reduction in force. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 15% and 14% in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
          Restructuring and Merger Related Costs. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we abandoned leased office space in two locations, disposed of related fixed assets with a book value of $0.8 million and reduced headcount by 126 people. In connection with the restructuring plan, we recorded a restructuring charge in the amount of $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Additionally, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded restructuring costs of $2.4 million related to previous restructuring plans, of which $2.1 million relates to changes to our estimates for sublease income for vacant office space and $0.3 million of employee termination benefits for employees who were placed on transition plans in 2005. In 2006, we reduced accrued expenses and recognized a benefit in merger related expense of $2.0 million in connection with a dispute over professional services during 2000. We reduced the accrual with legal consultation taking into consideration the applicable statute of limitations. The Company believes that no obligation exists at December 31, 2006.
          In October 2005, we recorded $15.0 million in restructuring costs primarily comprised of charges for severance costs associated with headcount reductions, lease payments associated with excess office space and the write-off of fixed assets.
          Depreciation. Depreciation was $8.9 million and $7.8 million for 2005 and 2006, respectively. The decrease is attributable to the disposal of leasehold improvements in 2005, and to an increase of average life due to a higher percentage of purchases of networking equipment.
          Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $1.3 million in 2005 and 2006, the majority of which relates to a customer relationship asset that is part of the Postilion segment.
          Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income were $2.1 million and $4.9 million for 2005 and 2006, respectively. Interest income increased primarily due to higher average cash balances and short-term investments as well as higher interest rates.
          Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million and $1.3 million for 2005 and 2006, respectively. In 2005 and 2006, we recorded alternative minimum tax expense for components of our domestic operations as a result of limitations on the use of our federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). In 2006, some components of our domestic operations incurred income tax expense at regular statutory rates because they are not included in our consolidated federal income tax return and therefore do not benefit from our federal NOLs. Some of our international operations incur income tax expense as business combinations acquired do not have NOLs to offset future income.
          Although we have fully reserved net deferred tax assets of approximately $165.2 million as of December 31, 2006 primarily related to our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards, from time-to-time we are required to record an income tax provision in periods:
    for tax expense in certain subsidiaries or jurisdictions for which do not have NOLs to utilize;

    in the United States due to limitations on the use of our federal NOLs for alternative minimum tax purposes which will be paid in cash; or
 
    if there are no NOLs that were acquired as part of a business combination, upon which we placed a valuation allowance at acquisition date. This results in non-cash income tax expense as goodwill is reduced and the valuation allowance is released.
          Income from discontinued operations. We recorded income from discontinued operations of $30.1 million during 2006 as compared to income from discontinued operations of $27.3 million for 2005. Income from discontinued operations consisted of (in thousands):

          Total revenues decreased by $6.0 million or 3% to $179.1 million for 2005 compared to $185.1 million for 2004. The overall decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to a decline in revenues in our Enterprise segment, offset in part by the revenues acquired with the Mosaic business in the Postilion segment. In 2005, we were licensing a number of products primarily on a subscription basis, including Enterprise applications, lending, and our suite of community and regional banking products. The decline in revenues from our Enterprise segment during 2005 is primarily due to the delay in the release of the new Enterprise product, as well as the distraction associated with the mid-year change in management and subsequent reorganization. The increase in revenues from our Postilion segment during 2005 is primarily due to revenues from our Mosaic acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2004. This was partially offset by a decline in revenue from the Full Service Banking (“FSB”) business.
          Revenues for our Enterprise segment were $92.1 million for 2005 compared with $105.1 million for 2004. Software

Table of Contents

license revenues for our Enterprise segment were $7.8 million for 2005, a decrease of $4.0 million from 2004 due primarily to the delay in the delivery of the next version of our S1 Enterprise 3.5 products and the effect of the transition to a subscription based licensing model. Support and maintenance revenues for our Enterprise segment were $16.7 million for 2005 compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2004. Support and maintenance fees increased primarily due to customers who purchased licenses during 2004 and 2005. Professional services revenues for our Enterprise segment were $49.5 million for 2005, a decrease of $16.0 million or 24% from $65.5 million in 2004. This decrease is principally attributable to the decrease in professional services revenues from our largest Enterprise customer and the completion of several large projects. Additionally, professional services revenues are impacted by lower license sales as Enterprise license sales generally include professional services for implementation. Data center revenues were $16.5 million for 2005, an increase of $1.4 million, from $15.1 million the same period in 2004. The increase resulted from increases in the number of hosted customers and growth of bill pay usage.
          Revenues for our Postilion segment were $87.0 million in 2005, an increase of $6.9 million or 9% over 2004 revenues of $80.1 million. Software license revenue of $19.5 million for our Postilion segment increased $1.0 million from 2004 due to the acquisition of our Mosaic business which was offset by a decline in the license revenue from the FSB business. Support and maintenance revenues for the Postilion segment were $27.6 million for 2005, an increase of $1.0 million from the same period in 2004. Support and maintenance fees increased primarily due to the Mosaic acquisition, offset by lower FSB support for legacy systems. Professional services revenues for the Postilion segment were $15.8 million for 2005, which compares to $10.5 million for the same period in 2004, primarily attributable to the acquisition of our Mosaic business, partially offset by a decline in professional service revenues in the FSB business.
          Other revenues are primarily related to the sale of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenue fluctuates based on the mix of products and services sold and are not typical in our sales arrangements. The related cost of the hardware sold is included in “cost of other revenue” as the hardware is delivered. There is minimal gross margin associated with other revenue.
          Direct Costs. Direct costs increased by $10.3 million to $89.7 million for 2005 from $79.4 million for the same period in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs, excluding depreciation, were 50% and 43% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Direct costs exclude charges for depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.
          Cost of software licenses for our products sold includes the cost of software components that we license from third parties as well as the amortization of purchased technology. In general, the cost of software licenses is minimal because we internally develop most of the software components, the cost of which is reflected in product development expense as it is incurred. The cost of software licenses could increase in future periods as we license and install more of our new S1 Enterprise products. These products include software components that we license from third parties. However, cost of software licenses will continue to vary with the mix of products sold.
          Costs of professional services, support and maintenance consist primarily of personnel and related infrastructure costs. Direct costs associated with professional services, support and maintenance were $63.6 million for 2005, an increase of $9.3 million from $54.3 million for 2004. This increase was attributable to the professional services, support and maintenance costs associated with the acquired Mosaic business which was not included in the first ten months of 2004. Additionally in 2005, we accrued $1.7 million for loss projects in our Enterprise business for contracts accounted for using percentage of completion accounting which had negative margin, and in 2004 on a net basis we reduced loss accruals. These loss accruals were accrued during 2003 and reflected amounts by which our anticipated future costs would exceed the remaining unrecognized contractual revenues for those projects.
          Costs of data center consist of personnel costs, facility costs and related hardware support costs in our data center business. Direct data center costs increased $1.1 million to $19.2 million for 2005 from $18.3 million in 2004. As a percentage of data center revenues, data center costs excluding depreciation were 48% and 49% for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
          Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses increased by $5.6 million to $28.1 million for 2005 from $22.5 million for the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses related to the acquired Mosaic business.

          Product Development Expenses. Total product development expenses decreased by $0.7 million to $40.4 million for 2005 from $41.1 million for 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction of the use of outside contractors in Enterprise development in October 2005, and increased usage of lower cost resources in our Indian development center, partially offset by Mosaic development costs. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses were 23% and 22% for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
          General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million to $26.0 million for 2005 from $24.4 million for the same period in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 15% and 13% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to an increase in headcount and professional accounting fees related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the acquired Mosaic business, offset in part by a decrease in legal fees related to 2004 corporate development activities and litigation matters.
          Depreciation. Depreciation was $8.9 million and $9.0 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
          Restructuring Costs. In 2005, we approved a plan to reorganize our business resulting in $15.0 million of restructuring costs. Under that structure, we were organized as business units designed around products and addressable markets. We believe that the new structure will effectively align the company with the needs of our customers. As a result of this plan, we eliminated approximately 120 positions and closed or consolidated office facilities. The restructuring charges we recorded were primarily comprised of charges for severance costs associated with headcount reductions, lease payments associated with excess office space and the write-off of fixed assets. There were no restructuring costs in 2004.
          Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $1.3 million for 2005 and $0.9 million for 2004.
          Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net was income of $2.1 million and expense of $1.5 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Interest income increased during 2005 due to the increase in interest rates and the mix of investments. In 2004, we made an additional $1.5 million investment in an equity method investment which was expensed immediately under the equity method of accounting due to the fact that our share of the accumulated losses exceeded the investment amount.
          Income Tax Benefit (Expense). We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million for 2005 and $1.0 million for 2004.
          Although we have fully reserved net deferred tax assets of approximately $199.2 million as of December 31, 2005 primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and tax credit carryforwards, from time-to-time we are required to record an income tax provision in periods:
    for tax expense in certain subsidiaries or jurisdictions for which do not have NOLs to utilize;
 
    in the United States due to limitations on the use of our federal NOLs for alternative minimum tax purposes which will be paid in cash; or
 
    if there are NOLs that were acquired as part of a business combination, upon which we placed a valuation allowance at acquisition date. This results in non-cash income tax expense as goodwill is reduced and the valuation allowance is released.
          Income from discontinued operations. We recorded income from discontinued operations of $10.2 million during 2004 and $27.3 million for 2005. Income from discontinued operations consisted of (in thousands):

Valuation of Acquired Businesses
          For the acquisitions of Providus, Mosaic, X/Net and the Indian business unit, we allocated the respective purchase prices to the net assets (or liabilities) of the businesses, identifiable intangible assets (if any) and goodwill.
          For Providus, Mosaic and X/Net, we identified customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets. These assets were valued using the income approach to fair value. We did not identify any in-process research and development for these acquisitions. For the acquisition of the Indian business unit, we did not identify any identifiable intangible assets.

          Operating Activities. During the year ended December 31, 2006, cash provided by operations was $2.9 million compared to cash used by operations of $0.2 million and $15.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The change in net cash flows from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was an increase of $11.2 million reflecting improvement in cash provided from continuing operations. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and intangible amortization decreased $1.6 million in 2006 which reflects $0.6 million decrease related to the disposal of the FRS and Edify segments. The change in operating assets and liabilities primarily reflects timing differences between the collection of fees billed and the payment of operating expenses. The increase of accounts receivables from 2005 is due to increased quarterly revenues as well as an increase in days sales outstanding during our reorganization in late 2005. We improved our

collections as we have decreased days outstanding by the end of 2006. Restructuring expense was $15.0 million and $14.5 million in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The restructuring reserve increased by $4.0 million to $19.5 million in 2006. This reflects payments of $10.0 million in 2006 and non-cash expense of $0.5 million for stock compensation.

     We believe that our expected cash flows from operations together with our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If cash generated from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or issue debt securities or establish an additional credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The addition of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
     The foreign currency financial statements of our international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, except revenues and expenses, which are translated at average exchange rates during each reporting period. Net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities are accumulated in a separate section of stockholders’ equity titled “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Therefore, our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk occurs when translating the financial results of our international operations to U.S. dollars in consolidation. Generally, our expenses are denominated in the same currency as our revenues and the exposure to rate changes is minimal. In general we do not use financial instruments to hedge our foreign exchange exposure because the effect of the foreign exchange rate fluctuations are not material. We entered into a long-term hosting agreement with a customer wherein we will provide the customer with hosting services for a period of approximately four years. Our costs associated with those services are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) and the customer will pay us in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). In this arrangement, ordinary fluctuations in currency exchange rates could adversely impact our profit margin on the hosting arrangement. Consequently, during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we purchased a series of options to exchange USD for GBP at dates throughout the term of the agreement for amounts proportional to the minimum fees under the contract. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” we record financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. Changes in financial instruments’ fair value are recognized in earnings unless the instrument qualifies as a hedge under SFAS No. 133 and meets specific hedge accounting criteria. Qualifying financial instruments’ gains and losses are deferred in accumulated comprehensive income for cash flow hedges until the time to offset the hedged item. As of December 31, 2006 the fair value of these options was $27,000. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes. The net assets of our foreign operations at December 31, 2006 were approximately $6.6 million.
     Our capital lease obligations include only fixed rates of interest. Therefore, we do not believe there is any material exposure to market risk changes in interest rates relating to our capital lease obligations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
   and Stockholders of S1 Corporation:
We have completed integrated audits of S1 Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of S1 Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share based compensation in 2006.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the

transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

S1 CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006
1. Business
          S1 Corporation (“S1”) is a global provider of software solutions for financial organizations including banks, credit unions and insurance companies. We operate and manage S1 in two business segments: Enterprise and Postilion segment. The Enterprise segment represents our global banking solutions business and our business with State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”). The Postilion segment represents the community financial business and global ATM/payments business. We sell our solutions to small, mid-sized and large financial organizations in two geographic regions: the Americas region and the International region.
          Our Enterprise segment software supports the primary channels a bank uses to interact with its customers, including self service channels like the Internet for personal, business and corporate online banking and trade finance, as well as full service banking including the teller at the branch, sales and service activities including new account opening and the call center agent’s desktop applications. Enterprise also supports the insurance business. In the community bank and credit union market, our Postilion segment provides online personal and business banking applications as well as a telephone banking application in single-channel platform that offers a balance between cost, feature set and performance. In addition the Postilion segment offers our payments platform which provides software that operates ATM networks and point-of-sale (“POS”) debit card transaction processing networks.
          We license the right to use our software through a direct sales channel and with channel partners including information systems integrators and select core processors. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from licensing our solutions and providing professional services. We generate recurring data center revenues by charging our data center customers a monthly fixed fee or a fee based on the number of their end users who use the solutions we provide and the level of use of the solutions, subject to a minimum charge. Data center revenues also include fees associated with the sale of bill payment services to our customers. We also generate recurring revenues by charging our customers a periodic fee for maintenance. In some cases we generate recurring revenues by charging our customers a periodic fee for term licenses including the right-to-use software and receive maintenance and support for a specified period of time.
          We are headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, USA, with additional domestic offices in Littleton, Massachusetts; Charlotte, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; Fairport, New York; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and West Hills, California; and international offices in Brussels, Cape Town, Dubai, Dublin, Johannesburg, London, Melbourne, Munich, Pune, Chertsey and Singapore. We are incorporated in Delaware.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of presentation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S1 Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. During 2004 and 2005, we completed a total of four business acquisitions, which we discuss in Note 3. The results of operations and cash flows of these acquired businesses are included in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows from their respective dates of acquisition.
          We sold our Risk and Compliance segment, which did business as FRS, in 2006. We also sold our Edify segment in 2005 and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Davidge Data Systems (“Davidge”) in 2004. We have accounted for each of these disposals as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Risk and Compliance, Edify and Davidge operating results are excluded from income from continuing operations and included in income from “discontinued operations”, net of taxes line in the consolidated statements of operations.

     Use of estimates
          We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Areas involving significant estimates include:
    revenue recognition;
 
    estimation of our allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments;
 
    valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill;
 
    valuation of acquired businesses;
 
    determination of technological feasibility and capitalization of software development costs;
 
    recognition of costs in connection with restructuring plans and merger-related activities;
 
    reserves for contingencies;
 
    valuation of stock based compensation; and
 
    income taxes.
     Financial instruments
          We use financial instruments in the normal course of business, including cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, other accrued expenses, deferred revenues and capital lease obligations.
          Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with commercial banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.
          Short-term investments consist of investments in certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid securities with original maturities exceeding 90 days but less than one year. Short term investments also include certain auction rate securities. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days. Auction rate securities have interest rates reset through a modified Dutch auction, at predetermined short term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days. They generally trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer. Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined through the auction process. Although these securities are issued and rated as long term bonds, they are priced and traded as short term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. All short-term investments are available for sale and are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
          Investments with a remaining maturity that exceed one year are reported in other assets. These investments are held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. At December 31, 2005 and 2006, we had no investments whose remaining maturity exceeded one year.
          At December 31, 2006, we had restricted cash of $1.4 million designated for lease payments and other disbursements in our international businesses and $3.5 million held in escrow related to the sale of FRS. Restricted cash is included in other current assets or other assets depending upon expiration dates.

55


Table of Contents

          The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of our capital lease obligations approximates their fair value given their market rates of interest and maturity schedules.
     Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments
          Accounts receivable includes amounts billed to customers and unbilled amounts of revenue earned in advance of billings. Unbilled receivable balances arise primarily from our performance of services in advance of billing terms on contracted software implementation services where these services are considered essential to the functionality of the software and percentage of completion accounting is applied. Generally, billing occurs at the achievement of milestones that correlate with progress towards completion of implementation services. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount or the earned amount and do not bear interest. We have established a discount allowance for estimated billing adjustments and an allowance for estimated amounts that we will not collect. We report provisions for billing adjustments as a reduction of revenue and provisions for uncollectible amounts as a component of selling expense. We review specific accounts, including substantially all accounts with past due balances over 90 days, for collectibility based on circumstances known to us at the date of our financial statements. In addition, we maintain reserves based on historical billing adjustments and write-offs. These estimates are reviewed quarterly and are based on historical discounts, concessions and write-offs, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when we estimate it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
     Property and equipment
          We report property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. We amortize leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvement or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Gains or losses recognized on disposal or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
          The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
         
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
Computer equipment (1)
  1.5 to 3 years
Software
  3 years
 
(1)   Computer equipment under capital lease is depreciated over the term of the lease agreement which approximates the equipment’s economic useful life.
     Goodwill
          We have recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition of businesses accounted for using the purchase method.
          Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we are required to perform an impairment test of goodwill at least once annually and upon the occurrence of a triggering event. We have elected to test our goodwill for impairment as of October 1st each year. The impairment test requires us to: (1) identify our reporting units, (2) determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities, including existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units, and (3) determine the fair value of each reporting unit. If the carrying value of any reporting unit exceeds its fair value in future periods, we will determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, through a detailed fair value analysis of each of the assigned assets (excluding goodwill). If any impairment were indicated as a result of the annual test, we would record an impairment charge as part of income (loss) from operations. Based upon the results of our annual impairment test in October 2004, 2005 and 2006, no impairments were identified.

56


Table of Contents

     Other long-lived assets
          We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be assessed by comparing their carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows expected to be derived from such assets. If such evaluation indicates a potential impairment, we use discounted cash flows to measure fair value in determining the amount of these assets that should be written off.
          We amortize identifiable intangible assets over their estimated useful lives (ranging from three to ten years) using the straight-line method which approximates the projected utility of such assets based upon the information available. Purchased technology represents technology acquired from third parties, which we have incorporated in our products. We amortize purchased technology over its estimated useful life (ranging from two to five years). The amortization expense related to purchased technology is recorded in the cost of software licenses in our statement of operations.
     Cost-basis and equity method investments
          Other assets include investments in entities that we account for on the cost basis and an investment in Yodlee, Inc., which is accounted for using the equity method and is discussed in Note 19. We account for investments in affiliated entities, which we do not manage and over which we exert significant influence, using the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires us to record our share of the net operating results of the investee in our consolidated statements of operations. We adjust the carrying value of our equity method investments for our share of their net operating results, unless and until our share of their underlying net assets has been reduced to $0. At the end of each period, we assess the recoverability of these cost basis and equity method investments by comparing their carrying value, including goodwill, to the undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows expected to be derived from such assets. If we determine that the carrying value is not recoverable and that the impairment is other than temporary, we reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. Since our share of Yodlee’s underlying net assets was $0 at December 31, 2001 and we have not made any commitments to Yodlee to provide additional funding, we did not record our share of Yodlee’s operating results in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and we will not record our share of any future operating results until our basis in Yodlee increases above $0, if ever. In 2004, we made additional investments totaling $1.5 million in Yodlee which we expensed immediately as these investments represented our funding of our share of Yodlee’s prior losses previously suspended under the equity method of accounting as described above.
     Concentration of credit risk
          We derive a significant portion of our revenue from products and services we provide to the banking industry and other financial services firms such as insurance and securities brokerage companies. Changes in economic conditions and unforeseen events, like recession or inflation, could occur and reduce consumers’ use of banking services.
          Our business success depends in part on our relationships with a limited number of large customers. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, one customer represented 26%, 25% and 25%, respectively of total revenues from continuing operations. One customer represented 38% and 34% of total receivables at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
          We are subject to concentrations of credit risk from our cash and cash equivalents, short term investments and accounts receivable. We limit our exposure to credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and short term investments by placing our cash and cash equivalents with a number of major domestic and foreign financial institutions and by investing in investment grade securities.
     Revenue recognition, deferred revenues and cost of revenues
          Software license revenue. We recognize software license sales in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and SOP No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions,” as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered essential to the

57


Table of Contents

functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is reasonably assured and (3) the fee is fixed or determinable. In certain of these arrangements, vendor specific objective evidence of fair value exists to allocate the total fee to all elements of the arrangement. If vendor specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the license element, we use the residual method under SOP No. 98-9 to determine the amount of revenue to be allocated to the license element.
          When the professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we record revenue for the license and professional services over the implementation period using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract.
          For software license sales where the license term does not begin until installation is complete, we recognize license and professional services revenue when we complete the installation of the software. For license arrangements in which the fee is not considered fixed or determinable, the license revenue is recognized as payments become due.
          For term license arrangements, sometimes referred to as subscription licenses, where we allow customers the rights to use software and receive unspecified products as well as unspecified upgrades and enhancements during a specified term, the license revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement. For certain customers, the subscription fee also entitles the customer to receive data center services.
          Support and maintenance revenue. Revenues for post-contract customer support and maintenance are recognized ratably over the contract period. Services provided to customers under customer support and maintenance agreements generally include technical support and unspecified product upgrades.
          Professional services revenue. Revenues derived from arrangements to provide professional services on a time and materials basis are recognized as the related services are performed. Revenues from professional services where services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software are recognized using the percentage of completion method. For other revenues from professional services that are provided on a fixed fee basis, revenues are recognized pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition,” on a proportional performance method based upon labor hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated labor hours to complete the project. Provisions for estimated losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
          Data center revenue. We recognize data center revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. (EITF) 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” We also consider the applicability of EITF 00-03, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored On Another Entity’s Hardware,” to our hosting arrangements on a contract-by-contract basis. If we determine that a software element covered by SOP No. 97-2 is present in a hosting arrangement, we recognize the license, professional services and data center revenue pursuant to SOP No. 97-2. If we determine that a software element covered by SOP No. 97-2 is not present in a hosting arrangement, we recognize revenue for the arrangement pursuant to SAB No. 104 and EITF 00-21 as follows:
          Data center arrangements typically include two elements: implementation and transaction processing services. For those data center arrangements which contain elements that qualify as separate units of accounting, the implementation and transaction processing services are recognized as the services are performed.
          For those data center arrangements that contain elements that do not qualify as separate units of accounting, the professional services revenue earned under these arrangements is initially deferred and then recognized over the term of the data center arrangement or the expected period of performance, whichever is longer.
          Other revenue. Other revenue is primarily related to the sale of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenue is recognized upon delivery of the third party hardware or software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is reasonably assured and (3) the fee is fixed or determinable.

58


Table of Contents

          Deferred revenues. Deferred revenues represent payments received from customers for software licenses, services and maintenance in advance of performing services. Maintenance is normally billed quarterly or annually in advance of performing the service.
          Cost of revenues. Direct software license costs consist primarily of the cost of third-party software used in our products and the amortization of purchased technology. Support and maintenance and professional services direct costs are primarily personnel and related infrastructure costs, including stock-based compensation expense. Direct data center costs consist of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, and infrastructure to support customer installations that we host in one of our data centers. Costs of revenues exclude charges for depreciation of property and equipment.
     Product development
          Product development includes all research and development expenses and software development costs. Generally, product development costs include personnel and related infrastructure costs, including stock-based compensation expense. We expense all research and development expenses as incurred. We expense all software development costs associated with establishing technological feasibility, which we define as completion of beta testing. Because of the insignificant amount of costs incurred between completion of beta testing and general customer release, we have not capitalized any software development costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     Restructuring and merger related costs
          Merger related costs include expenses related to integrating the products and platforms of acquired companies, training personnel on new products acquired, establishing the infrastructure and consolidating the operations of acquired companies and expenses as incurred.
          In 2003 and previous years, we incurred restructuring charges. In subsequent periods, we re-assessed the initial assumptions and estimates made in connection with these restructuring plans based on current information and, as a result, recorded additional charges for the estimated incremental costs of exiting certain activities under this restructuring plan. See Note 10 for further discussion of these restructuring activities.
          During the fourth quarter of 2005, we approved a restructuring plan to change our organization to reduce operating costs and align the Company with the needs of our customers. Under the new structure, we were organized in business units, each of which was designed around solution sets and addressable markets. See Note 10 for further discussion of these activities.
          During the fourth quarter of 2006, we approved a plan to realign our operating segments to further reduce costs and accelerate our ability to execute against a business plan of establishing independent business units. Under the new structure, our goal is to empower these business units to meet the needs of the markets and customers they serve. See Note 10 for further discussion of these restructuring activities.
          We establish accruals for pre-acquisition contingencies that existed at the date of acquisition in connection with the acquisition of certain businesses. As those contingencies are resolved, we reduce the related liabilities for any related cash disbursements or changes in estimate. Any difference in the actual settlement amount or any change in estimate is reflected as an adjustment to income, expense or goodwill within this line item in the period of resolution or adjustment.

     Income taxes
          We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. We measure deferred income tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the level at which we believe it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized. See Note 13 for further discussion of our income taxes.
     Stock-based compensation
          Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As such, no expense was recognized for options to purchase our common stock that were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant. We only recorded compensation expense on the date of grant if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Additionally, if a modification was made to an existing grant, any related compensation expense was calculated on the date both parties accepted the modification and recorded on the date the modification became effective.
          On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. Statement 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and amends SFAS No. 95. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees during the period to be based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Under SFAS No. 123R, the pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. Effective January 1, 2006, we have adopted SFAS No. 123R using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, the compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006, included compensation expense for share based compensation granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 and compensation expense for share-based compensation granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. We did not change our method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expenses. Under both SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123R the expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period. Pro forma results have not been restated. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimates.
          We maintain certain stock compensation plans providing for the grant of stock options, restricted stock (“RSUs”), stock

60


Table of Contents

appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other forms of awards to officers, directors and employees. For stock options and SARs, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In determining the fair value, management makes certain estimates related primarily to the expected term of the option, the volatility of our stock and the risk-free interest rate. These assumptions affect the estimated fair value of the option. As such, these estimates will affect the compensation expense we record in future periods. These assumptions generally require significant analysis and judgment. Some of the assumptions will be based on external data, while some assumptions will be derived from our historical experience with share-based payments. We currently estimate expected term using our historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation activity. We currently estimate volatility by considering our historical stock volatility. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with the remaining term equal to the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. We estimated the forfeitures using a weighted-average historical forfeiture rate. Our estimates of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimates. The fair value of the RSUs are determined by the market price of our stock on the date of grant.
          The fair values for stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                         
    2004     2005     2006  
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Expected volatility
    101.9 %     66.9 %     51.9 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.6 %     4.3 %     4.7 %
Expected term
  4.0 years   4.0 years   4.0 years
          The fair values for cash-settled SARs were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
         
    2006  
Expected dividend yield
    0 %
Expected volatility
    59.1 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.6 %
Expected term
  4.9 years

          There was no capitalized stock-based compensation cost as of December 31, 2006. There were no recognized tax benefits during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
          On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” We have elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123R. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent APIC pool and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
          We use the “with-and-without” or “incremental” approach for ordering tax benefits derived from the share-based payment awards. Using the with-and-without approach actual income taxes payable for the period are compared to the amount of tax payable that would have been incurred absent the deduction for employee share-based payments in excess of the amount of compensation cost recognized for financial reporting. As a result of this approach tax net operating loss carryforwards not generated from share-based payments in excess of cost recognized for financial reporting are considered utilized before the current period’s share-based deduction. As a result of this accounting treatment as of December 31, 2006, of our approximate $243.7 million of domestic tax net operating loss carryforwards associated with the group of companies included in the S1 Corporation consolidated federal income tax return, the benefit of approximately $201.9 million of these tax net operating loss carryforwards will be accounted for directly to equity as additional paid-in-capital. Additionally, we have approximately $96.5 million of foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards respectively unaffected by this accounting treatment.

     Net income (loss) per share
          We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method during periods which we recorded net income, as prescribed by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. For periods in which we record a net loss from continuing operations, we calculate all other reported diluted per-share amounts by dividing those amounts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
          Net income has been allocated to the common and preferred stock based on their respective rights to share in dividends. Net losses have not been allocated to preferred stock, as there is no contractual obligation for the holders of the participating preferred stock to share in our losses. We excluded the preferred convertible stock from diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method because the effect is anti-dilutive.
          Diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in additional common stock that would share in our the earnings. Because of our net losses from continuing operations in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the issuance of additional shares of common stock through the exercise of stock options or upon the conversion of preferred stock were excluded as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on our net loss per share for that period. See Note 20 for more information.
     Foreign currency translation
          We translate the financial statements of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average exchange rates during each reporting period. Currency transaction gains or losses, which we include in our results of operations, are immaterial for all periods presented. We include net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.
     Derivative financial instruments
          We use derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency to mitigate the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the eventual dollar cash flows resulting from the hedged transactions with a series of foreign currency options. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments will be offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
     Comprehensive income (loss)
          We report total changes in equity resulting from revenues, expenses, and gains and losses, including those that do not affect the accumulated deficit. Accordingly, we include in other comprehensive income (loss) those amounts relating to foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities classified as available for sale in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).
     Recent accounting pronouncements
          In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154. “Accounting Changes and Error Correction — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new

64


Table of Contents

standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 154 had no impact on our financial statements.
          In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, this interpretation prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. This interpretation also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 on our consolidated financial statements, and we will be required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the SEC released SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements by Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Prior practice allowed the evaluation of materiality on the basis of (1) the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (rollover method) or (2) the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was misstated (iron curtain method). Reliance on either method in prior years could have resulted in misstatement of the financial statements. The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality. Immaterial prior year errors may be corrected with the first filing of prior year financial statements after adoption. The cumulative effect of the correction would be reflected in the opening balance sheet with appropriate disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error corrected in the cumulative adjustment, as well as a disclosure of the cause of the error and that the error had been deemed to be immaterial in the past. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. The standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement based on an exchange transaction in which the entity sells an asset or transfers a liability (exit price). SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to fair value based on an entity’s own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, earlier application is encouraged. We believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
          In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-03 “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-03”). Under EITF 06-03, a company must disclose its accounting policy regarding the gross or net presentation of certain taxes. If taxes included in gross revenues are significant, a company must disclose the amount of such taxes for each period for which an income statement is presented (i.e., both interim and annual periods). Taxes within the scope of this EITF are those that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. Taxes assessed on an entity’s activities over a period of time, such as gross receipts taxes, are not within the scope of the EITF. EITF 06-03 is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. We will continue to report taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis after adoption of EITF 06-03.
3. Business Acquisitions
          On July 16, 2005, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Providus Software Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Zions Bancorporation that offered risk management and regulatory compliance products. We paid cash consideration of $0.9 million, including approximately $20,000 in acquisition costs, upon the closing of the transaction and

65


Table of Contents

agreed to pay additional consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets through 2010. This business was part of our Risk and Compliance segment sold in August 2006.
          On November 12, 2004, we purchased the outstanding stock of Mosaic Software Holdings Limited (“Mosaic”), a United Kingdom based provider of solutions that drive ATMs and electronic payments. The acquisition was intended to add a financial transaction solution to our suite of products and enable us to offer financial services providers and retailers an ATM and payments solution which complements our suite of front-office products. Under the terms of the transaction, we paid $37.0 million in cash upon the closing of the transaction and committed to pay up to an additional $15.0 million in cash for earn-out payments upon Mosaic achieving certain financial metrics during its fiscal year ending May 31, 2005. We incurred approximately $1.0 million of expenses associated with this transaction. For accounting purposes, we treated the acquisition as if it had occurred on November 12, 2004. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 include approximately one and a half months of operating results for Mosaic.
          In the fourth quarter of 2005, we recorded $12.9 million related to the earn-out payment under the purchase agreement. At that time, we intended to place the remaining possible earn-out of $2.1 million into escrow, which would have been paid upon resolution of a contingency. However, on March 29, 2006, we and the sellers of Mosaic settled all obligations such that the aggregate earn-out would be $14.0 million. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2006, we recorded an additional $1.1 million related to the earn-out payment under the purchase agreement. The $14.0 million payment to the sellers of Mosaic was made on March 31, 2006. The total $14.0 million payment was accounted for as additional purchase price and increased goodwill, $12.9 million of which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005. The $14.0 million dollar payment brought the total purchase price of Mosaic to $52.0 million.
          On August 4, 2004, we purchased the outstanding stock of X/Net Associates, Inc. (“X/Net”), a Rochester, New York based provider of lending solutions to financial institutions. The acquisition was intended to strengthen our product offering around lending solutions and accelerate the development of our lending functionality. We paid cash consideration of $4.0 million for this business and incurred approximately $0.1 million of expenses in connection with the acquisition. We have included the results of X/Net in our results of operations from the date of the acquisition. For accounting purposes, we treated the acquisition as if it had occurred on August 1, 2004. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 include five months of operating results for X/Net. Under the agreement, additional consideration may be paid to one shareholder of X/Net, who is also an S1 employee, if certain financial metrics are achieved. There was a maximum of $1.0 million that could have been earned in the period from August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005 and $2.0 million that could be earned in the period from August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we reached an agreement with the shareholder of X/Net to settle the earn-out as of December 31, 2005. We recorded $0.2 million of contingent consideration as compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, we agreed to pay an additional $0.3 million in August 2007 and upon the completion of certain goals. We have $0.2 million in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2006 related to the 2007 payment. This payment is being accrued as compensation expense over the period in which it is earned.
          On May 16, 2004, we purchased a business unit from vMoksha Technologies, Private Limited (“vMoksha”), an Indian-based provider of software development, programming, infrastructure development and related services. This business unit consisted of a development center in Pune, India that had been previously providing software development, programming and other related services to us. The acquisition was intended to reduce our costs and allow us to have greater control over the quality of the development efforts undertaken. We paid cash consideration of approximately $1.2 million for the business unit. We have included the results of the business in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, we acquired approximately 240 employees. For accounting purposes, we treated the acquisition as if it had occurred on May 16, 2004. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 include approximately seven and a half months of operating results for the business unit.
          The Mosaic and X/Net businesses are included in the Postilion segment and the vMoksha business is part of the Enterprise segment.

          We accounted for these acquisitions using the purchase accounting method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. We assigned the total purchase price to the net assets and liabilities of the businesses with the remaining amount assigned to goodwill. The value assigned to the identifiable intangible assets was based on an analysis performed as of the date of the acquisition.

(2)   Customer relationship asset for Mosaic has a useful life of ten years and for X/Net and Providus, it has an estimated useful life of five years.
 
(3)   Goodwill for Mosaic includes $14.0 million of consideration, paid in 2006 as earned contingent consideration.
          We did not present pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions because their effect was not significant, individually or in the aggregate.
4. Discontinued Operations
          On August 11, 2006, we completed the sale of our Risk and Compliance segment, which did business as FRS. Under the terms of the agreement, we received approximately $38.0 million in consideration with $3.5 million held in escrow. The agreement provided for a working capital adjustment. During the third quarter we paid out $1.0 million as a preliminary working capital adjustment. In the fourth quarter, we recorded a liability for an additional $0.7 million for the final capital adjustment making the total working capital adjustment $1.7 million. We recorded a gain of $31.6 million, net of tax in 2006. We recorded expenses of approximately $1.3 million in connection with the sale including legal fees and other expenses. Our consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2006 includes approximately $0.9 million of net current liabilities, which includes the $0.7 million earn out payment, net of a receivable of $0.3 million for reimbursement of expenses we paid on behalf of FRS after the disposal, plus additional expenses still to be paid. In addition, there is $3.5 million of cash held in escrow in other assets relating to the sale. FRS contracted with S1’s Pune, India location to continue to provide development and administrative services. We do not have any significant involvement in the operations of FRS after the disposal.
          On December 30, 2005 we completed the sale of our Edify segment. Under the terms of the agreement, we received approximately $33.5 million in cash. We recorded a gain of $24.4 million, net of tax in 2005. We recorded expenses of approximately $4.4 million in connection with the sale including legal fees and employee severance payments. In 2006, we resolved the working capital adjustment provision of the agreement. We received $554,000 in the second quarter of 2006 bringing the total sale price to $34.1 million. In addition, under the agreement, we have contracted to continue to be a reseller of Edify products following the closing of the transaction. Activity under the reseller agreement has not been and is not expected to be significant in the future.
          On November 1, 2004, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Davidge Data Systems. Under the terms of the agreement, we received approximately $12.9 million in cash. We recorded a gain of $8.6 million, net of tax in 2004. We recorded expenses of approximately $1.4 million in connection with the sale including legal fees and employee severance payments. In the second quarter of 2005, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million related to the final calculation of the taxable gain on sale of the Davidge business.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments
          We use derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency to mitigate the risk that changes in exchange rates will adversely affect the eventual dollar cash flows resulting from the hedged transactions with a series of foreign currency options. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments will be offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
          We entered into a long-term hosting agreement with a customer wherein we will provide the customer with hosting services for a period of approximately four years. Our costs associated with those services are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) and the customer will pay us in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). In this arrangement, ordinary fluctuations in currency exchange rates could adversely impact our profit margin on the hosting agreement. Consequently, during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we purchased a series of options to exchange USD for GBP at dates throughout the term of the agreement for amounts proportional to the minimum fees under the contract.
          The foreign currency options are designated as cash flow hedges and the options with expiration dates of March 30, 2007 to March 31, 2009 are deemed effective in the period ended December 31, 2006. Any mark-to-market gains or losses on these currency options are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into sales in the period during which a specific hedged transaction affects earnings.
          The foreign currency option with the December 31, 2006 expiration date was designated as ineffective in the period ended December 31, 2006 and expired out of money. The premium paid for the December 31, 2006 option resulted in a loss of approximately $17,000, which was recognized in current earnings.

          For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a decrease in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) of approximately $272,000 related to losses on the effective portion of our foreign currency cash flow hedges. The following table summarizes activity in AOCI related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges held by us during the applicable periods (in thousands):

Pre-2003 Restructuring Plans
          In 2003 and prior, we approved restructuring plans. In 2004, we adjusted our restructuring reserves as we re-occupied certain office space, re-hired certain employees who were previously terminated and adjusted our estimates based on sublease assumptions for certain vacant office space. In 2005 and 2006, we evaluated the sublease assumptions for our international office space and recorded an additional $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to reflect management’s current estimate of liability for this space.
          The restructuring charges from these plans and the utilization as of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and for the years then ended are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2005 Restructuring Plan
          In the fourth quarter 2005, we approved a plan of reorganization to change the operating structure of our Enterprise and Postilion segments. Under the new structure, we are organized as business units designed around products and addressable markets. We believed that the new structure would effectively align the company with the needs of our customers. The expense reductions primarily related to our domestic and international financial institutions services solutions teams. The reductions include all functional areas of the groups affected. At December 31, 2005, we had eliminated 120 positions and closed or consolidated office facilities. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $15.0 million in restructuring costs in 2005, primarily comprised of charges for severance costs associated with headcount reductions, lease payments associated with excess office space and the write-off of fixed assets. Included in these charges are non-cash charges of $0.6 million for the acceleration of stock options and $0.7 million for the write-off of leasehold improvements related to abandoned office space. In 2006, we revised the assumptions around the subleasing of our facilities based on market conditions in the United States and recorded an additional $1.5 million to reflect management’s current estimate of liability for this office space. In 2006, we also recorded an additional $0.3 million to reflect employee termination benefits for employees who were placed on transition plans in 2005 and left the company in 2006.
          The restructuring charges from this plan and their utilization of December 31, 2005 and 2006 for the years then ended are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2006 Restructuring Plan
          In the fourth quarter 2006, we approved a plan to realign our operating segments. Under the new structure, our business units are organized around products to address global markets. We believe that the new structure will effectively align the company further with the needs of our customers. The personnel expense reductions are primarily related to our Enterprise segment and related corporate support groups. The reductions include all functional areas of the groups affected. As of December 31, 2006, we have eliminated 126 positions and closed or consolidated domestic office facilities. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $12.1 million in restructuring costs in 2006, primarily comprised of charges for severance costs associated with headcount reductions, lease payments associated with abandoned office space and the write-off of related leasehold improvements. Included in these charges are non-cash charges of $0.5 million for the acceleration of stock options and $0.8 million for the write-off of leasehold improvements.
          The restructuring charges from this plan and the utilization as of December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended are summarized as follows (in thousands):

          The remaining restructuring reserves at December 31, 2006 relates to future rent expense for vacated facilities, net of sublease income, severance payments to terminated employees and other costs. We expect to make future cash expenditures, net of anticipated sublease income, related to these restructuring activities of approximately $19.5 million, of which we anticipate to pay approximately $9.1 million within the next twelve months. The leases expire on various terms through 2011.
Merger Related Costs
           In 2006, we reduced accrued expenses and recognized a benefit in merger related expense of $2.0 million in connection with a dispute over professional services during 2000. We reduced the accrual with legal consultation taking into consideration the applicable statute of limitations. The Company believes that no obligation exists at December 31, 2006.

     Lease commitments
          We lease office facilities and computer equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements, which expire at various dates through 2023. Total rental expense under these leases was $11.5 million, $10.3 million, and $8.3 million in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

maintain under the standby letter of credit decreases as our future obligations under the lease agreement decline. At December 31, 2006, there were no drawings outstanding under the letter of credit. Additionally, we have issued letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $0.9 million to guarantee certain obligations for other leased facilities.
          Property and equipment as of December 31, 2005 includes computer equipment under capital leases with original cost and accumulated amortization of approximately $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Property and equipment as of December 31, 2006 includes computer equipment under capital leases with original cost and accumulated amortization of approximately $10.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

     Contractual commitments
          In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts with vendors. Some of these contracts include provisions for fixed or minimum purchase quantities. At December 31, 2006, our payment obligations under these contracts are $5.0 million for 2007, $4.3 million for 2008 and $1.4 million for 2009 and 2010, respectively.
          In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts with customers. These contracts contain commitments including, but not limited to, minimum standards and time frames against which our performance is measured. In the event we do not meet our contractual commitments with our customers, we may incur penalties and/or certain customers may have the right to terminate their contracts with us. We do not believe that we will fail to meet our contractual commitments to an extent that will result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
     Guarantees
          We typically grant our customers a warranty that guarantees that our product will substantially conform to our current specifications for 90 days from the delivery date. We also indemnify our customers from third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. Our standard software license agreements contain indemnification clauses that are limited in amount. Pursuant to these clauses, we indemnify and agree to pay any judgment or settlement relating to a claim. We account for these clauses under FASB Staff Position FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others — an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2006.
     Sale-Leaseback Transaction
          In May 2006, we received $2.5 million for computer equipment and software (the “Assets”) in a sale-leaseback transaction. In accordance with SFAS No.13, we accounted for this lease as a capital lease. The Assets were initially purchased during the first quarter of 2006 and we had recorded $0.2 million of depreciation expense related to the Assets. The $0.2 million gain resulting from the transaction was deferred and is being amortized to depreciation expense over the life of the lease.

     Litigation
          There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we, or any of its subsidiaries is a party or which their property is subject.
          As previously reported, we were involved in litigation with Tradecard, Inc. relating to a claim of infringement of U.S. Patent 6,151,588 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action was filed in March 2003 against S1 Corporation, Bank of America Corporation and Bank of America National Association. In March 2006, a jury decided in our favor that we were not infringing and that Tradecard’s patent is invalid. Tradecard has submitted a motion to the Federal District Court for reconsideration of the verdict. If that motion is denied, Tradecard may appeal the jury verdict to the Federal Court of Appeals.

     We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities which will result in future deductible or taxable amounts and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We then establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the level at which we believe it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized. Realization of the tax benefits associated with deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income within the carryback and carryforward periods. Sources of taxable income that may allow for the realization of tax benefits include (1) future taxable income that will result from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and (2) future taxable income generated by future operations. Because of the uncertainties with respect to our ability to achieve and sustain profitable operations in the future, we have recorded a valuation allowance to offset substantially all of our net deferred income tax assets.
     At December 31, 2006, we had domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $243.7 million, $96.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The domestic net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2024 unless utilized. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards generally do not expire and the tax credit carryforwards expire at various dates through 2021. Our domestic net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2006 include $201.9 million in income tax deductions related to stock options which will be tax effected and the benefit will be reflected as a credit to additional paid-in capital as realized. The acquisitions described in Note 3 created ownership changes for federal income tax purposes. The result of an ownership change is to limit a company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and credit carryforwards based on the valuation of the company. Due to the value of the companies at the time of their respective ownership changes, the limitation of net operating loss and credit carryforwards is not expected to be meaningful.
     In 2004, we acquired X-Net and Mosaic which resulted in establishing non-goodwill intangible assets of $0.8 million and $11.0 million respectively. These identifiable intangibles created deferred tax liabilities of $0.3 million and $3.3 million for X-Net and Mosaic, respectively. We acquired net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.8 million in the X-Net transaction and $1.1 million in the Mosaic transaction. As the benefit from the Mosaic net operating loss carryforwards was

realized, we reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the Mosaic transaction and increased deferred tax expense. During 2005, we reduced goodwill by $0.4 million in connection with the realization of these tax benefits.
     The sale of VerticalOne to Yodlee in January 2001 was a stock-for-stock transaction that was treated as a tax-free reorganization. The difference between the tax basis in our investment in Yodlee and the net book value in our share of Yodlee’s assets is treated as a temporary difference and is reported as a deferred tax asset in the table above offset by a full valuation allowance.
     The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. The company is subject to audit by U.S. federal and state as well as foreign tax authorities. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes that its tax reserves reflect the probable outcome of known contingencies.
14. Convertible Preferred Stock
     We have authorized 25,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, of which 1,637,832 shares have been designated as series A convertible preferred stock, 749,064 shares have been designated as series B convertible preferred stock, 215,000 shares have been designated as series C convertible preferred stock, 244,000 have been designated as series D convertible preferred stock and 649,150 have been designated as series E convertible preferred stock. At December 31, 2006, there were 749,064 shares of series B convertible preferred stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2006, series A, series C, series D and series E shares have been converted to common stock or cancelled.
     Series B preferred stock is non-cumulative and the terms of all series of preferred stock provide the holders with identical rights to common stockholders with respect to dividends and distributions in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of S1. Except as described below, series B are nonvoting shares. Series B holders are entitled to vote as a single class on the following matters:
    any amendment to any charter provision that would change the specific terms of that series which would adversely affect the rights of the holders of that series, and
 
    the merger or consolidation of S1 with another corporation or the sale, lease, or conveyance (other than by mortgage or pledge) of the properties or business of S1 in exchange for securities of another corporation if series B is to be exchanged for securities of such other corporation and if the terms of such securities are less favorable in any respect.
     Action requiring the separate approval of the series B stockholders requires the approval of two-thirds of the shares of series B then outstanding voting as a separate class. In addition, holders of the series B are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock as if a single class, on any voluntary dissolution or liquidation of S1. Holders of series B also are entitled to vote with the holders of the common stock on any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination involving S1 and the sale, lease or conveyance other than by mortgage or pledge of all or substantially all of our assets or properties. When the series B is entitled to vote with the common stock, the holders of series B are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the series B could be converted. The 749,064 shares of series B preferred are convertible at the option of the holder after October 1, 2000 into 1,070,090 shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $9.345. The number of shares of common stock into which the series B are convertible is subject to adjustment.

15. Equity Transactions
     On September 29, 2006, we retired 4,053,886 shares of our common stock held in treasury at $25.0 million. The retirement of the treasury shares reduced our common stock and additional paid in capital for a total of $25.0 million.
     In November 2006, our board of directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to $55.8 million of our common stock. The tender offer was completed in December 2006. We repurchased and retired a total of 10,476,190 shares at an average price of $5.32 per share, which includes related transaction costs.
16. Stock Option Plans
     We maintain certain stock compensation plans providing for the grant of stock options, restricted stock (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other forms of awards to officers, directors and employees. The plans provide for 11,174,008 shares of S1 common stock to be reserved for issuance under the plans. Awards that are settled in cash do not count against the maximum limit of shares in these plans. Substantially all stock options granted under the plans have ten-year contractual lives and generally vest and become exercisable ratably over four years from the date of grant. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we granted shares of RSUs and cash-settled SARs. Most of these awards have ten-year contractual terms and generally vest and become exercisable ratably over two years from the date of grant. The SARs are settled in cash and are recorded as liabilities with changes in fair value recognized over the vesting period in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. At the end of the vesting period any SARs that have not been exercised will continue to be adjusted to fair value each quarter. At December 31, 2006, 1,230,539 shares were available for future grants under the plans.

17. Retirement Savings Plan
     We provide a 401(k) retirement savings plan for substantially all of our full-time employees in the United States. Each participant in the
401(k) plan may elect to contribute from 1% to 15% of his or her annual compensation to the plan. We, at management’s discretion, may make matching contributions to the plan. Our matching contributions to the plan charged to expense for 2005 and 2006 were approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We did not have any matching contributions in 2004.
18. Segment Reporting, Geographic Disclosures and Major Customers
     In the third quarter of 2006, we sold our Risk and Compliance segment, reporting the operating results in discontinued operations. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we executed a restructuring plan as discussed in note 10. As a result of these transactions, we now operate and manage two business segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents our global banking business and insurance business. The Postilion segment represents the community financial Internet, voice, full-service banking and lending business and the global ATM/payments business. Previously, the full service banking and lending businesses were reported under the Enterprise segment. The retail banking business outside of North America was previously reported under the Postilion segment.
     We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on their contribution before interest, other income and income taxes, as reflected in the tables presented below for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006. We do not use any asset-based metrics to measure the operating performance of our segments.

19. Related Party Transactions
Yodlee, Inc.
     As a result of our sale of VerticalOne to Yodlee in January 2001, we own approximately 21% of Yodlee at December 31, 2006. In 2004, we invested an additional $1.5 million in Yodlee. In connection with the sale, we entered into the following agreements with Yodlee:
    a sales representation (and OEM) agreement;
 
    a data center agreement; and
 
    a facilities sublease, which expired in 2001.
     Under the terms of the OEM agreement, we are a non-exclusive reseller of Yodlee’s aggregation service. In connection with this arrangement, we made a nonrefundable prepayment of $10.0 million to Yodlee in 2001, which we included as part of our loss on the sale of VerticalOne. Subject to certain conditions, (i) we may sell Yodlee’s aggregation service directly to certain of our customers and retain 100% of the fees or (ii) we may assist Yodlee with the sale of its aggregation service to one of its customers in return for 50% of their fees. The OEM agreement and the prepayment expired in July, 2005, the agreement was extended through January 2006 for current customers only. The agreement was renewed February 1, 2006 and expires on January 31, 2009. We paid $0.3 million to Yodlee during the year ended December 31, 2006 for user and maintenance fees. During 2004, we received $0.1 million from Yodlee under this agreement.
     Under the data center agreement, we agreed to provide Yodlee with certain data center services for a fee. During both 2004 and 2005, we provided data center services in the amount of $0.4 million. The data center agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, we had receivables from Yodlee of approximately $0.1 million for services performed under this agreement.

20. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
     We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method during periods which we recorded net income as prescribed by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. For periods in which we record a net loss from continuing operations, we calculate all other reported diluted per-share amounts by dividing those amounts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Net income has been allocated to the common and preferred stock based on their respective rights to share in dividends. Net losses have not been allocated to preferred stock, as there is no contractual obligation for the holders of the participating preferred stock to share in our losses. We excluded the preferred convertible stock from diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method because the effect is anti-dilutive.
     Diluted earnings per share is calculated to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in additional common stock that would share in the earnings of the Company. Because of our net losses from continuing operations in 2005 and 2006, the issuance of additional shares of common stock through the exercise of stock options or upon the conversion of preferred stock were excluded as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on our net loss per share for that period.

22. Subsequent Events
     On March 12, 2007, we announced that we intend to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to purchase approximately 15% of our outstanding common stock. Based on current market conditions, the tender offer will be approximately $55.0 million, and at a per share range of $5.25 to $5.75. Closing of the tender offer will be subject to customary conditions. We expect to commence the tender offer as promptly as possible. The final number of shares, timing and other details of the offer will be determined on the date the tender offer is commenced.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of December 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
     Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
     Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, the company’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
     Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Atlanta, GA 30327
     Re: Your separation from S1 Corporation
Dear Jaime:
As you are aware, S1 Corporation (the “Company”)1 terminated the employment relationship with you effective July 24, 2005 (the “Separation Date”). Consistent with the practice of the Company with respect to exiting executives, and as contemplated by your employment agreement dated April 27, 2001, this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the terms under which your employment with the Company has ended. We desire to resolve any and all issues relating to your employment and the conclusion of your employment with the Company amicably and on mutually satisfactory terms. Specifically, you (“You” or “Your”) and the Company (collectively, the “Parties”) agree:
A. Separation Terms
1. Separation Benefits. Provided that You satisfy the conditions of this Agreement and do not revoke this Agreement, the Company will:
  (a)   Separation Payment. Make payments to You (the “Separation Payments”) in the aggregate amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand ($1,200,000.00) dollars. The initial payment will be in the amount of $507,692.31 and will be due upon the expiration of the Revocation Period described in section A.3 (vi) of this Agreement. The remaining balance of $692,307.69 will be payable in equal twice monthly installments over the 60 week period commencing on the first regular payroll following the expiration of the Revocation Period;
 
1   The term “Company” includes the company’s parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and all related companies, as well as their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and any other representatives, any employee benefits plan of the Company, and any fiduciary of those plans.
 
JWE Initials     

Page 1 of 7 - Separation and Release Agreement


 

  (b)   Average Annual Bonus Payment. Pay to You $233,687.00 (the “Average Annual Bonus Payment”) for each of two years. The Average Annual Bonus Payment will be paid as a lump sum for each of two years (a) in the case of the first payment, 8 days after the expiration of the revocation period, and (b) in the case of the second payment, March 15, 2007.
 
  (c)   Reimbursement of COBRA Premiums, Life Insurance Cost and Long Term Disability Cost. Reimburse Your COBRA premium under the Company’s major medical group health and dental and vision plans and the cost of long term disability coverage comparable to that which you had under the Company’s long term disability benefit on a monthly basis, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Date. Reimburse You for the cost of conversion of the S1 group term Life Insurance policy to an individual policy. Reimbursement of amounts under this paragraph will be made within 30 days of receipt of your proof of payment by You of the premiums for such coverage.
 
  (d)   Accelerated Vesting. Accelerate two years of vesting of Your option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) granted to You pursuant to those certain S1 Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan Option Agreements dated as of August 11, 2003 and April 11, 2004 by and between the Company and You (the “Option Agreements”), incorporated by reference, so that as of the Separation Date you may acquire a cumulative amount of up to 392,277 shares of the Company’s common stock. Except as provided in this provision, the Options will continue to be governed by the Option Agreement.
 
  (e)   Unemployment Compensation. Not contest Your claim for unemployment compensation; and
 
  (f)   References. Provide a reference letter in the form attached as Exhibit A in response to a written reference request authorized by You. You must direct all reference requests to VP, Human Resources, S1 Corporation, 3500 Lenox Road, Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, or his successor. In response to inquiries concerning Your employment, the Company will disclose Your dates of employment and job titles.
All payments will be subject to applicable withholdings, including taxes and Social Security. Because You are no longer employed, Your rights to any particular employee benefit will be governed by applicable law and the terms and provisions of the Company’s various employee benefit plans and arrangements. You acknowledge that Your Separation Date will be the date used in determining benefits under all Company employee benefit plans. The Company’s obligations listed in sub-paragraphs (a) — (f) above shall terminate immediately upon any breach by You of this Agreement.
2. Release. In exchange for the separation benefits stated above, You release and discharge the Company from any claim or liability, whether known or unknown, arising

out of any event, act or omission occurring on or before the day You sign this Agreement, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of Your employment or the cessation of Your employment, claims for breach of contract, tort, employment discrimination, retaliation, or harassment, as well as any other statutory or common law claims, at law or in equity, recognized under any federal, state, or local law, including without limitation any employment agreement or arrangement with the company; provided, subject to the representation by You that as of the date of Your execution of this Agreement, You are unaware of any claim as a shareholder of the Company based on any acts or omissions of the Company, the foregoing release shall not apply to any claims which You may have in your capacity as a shareholder of the Company based on any acts or omissions which occurred following your resignation as a director of the Company. You also release any claims for unpaid back pay, sick pay, vacation pay, expenses, bonuses, commissions, attorneys’ fees, or any other compensation. You agree that You are not entitled to any additional payment or benefits from the Company, except as set forth in this Agreement. You further agree that You have suffered no harassment, retaliation, employment discrimination, or work-related injury or illness. Nothing in this Section constitutes a waiver of any right to indemnification which You may have as a result of serving as an officer and director of the Company, whether arising under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Company’s bylaws or under any other law or Your employment agreement dated April 27, 2001.
3. OWBPA/ADEA Waiver. By agreeing to this provision, You release and waive any right or claim against the Company arising out of Your employment or the termination of Your employment with the Company under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (“ADEA”), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. (“OWBPA”), or the Georgia Prohibition of Age Discrimination in Employment, O.C.G.A. § 34-1-2, (the “Waiver”). You understand and agree that:
  (i)   this Agreement is written in a manner that You understand;
 
  (ii)   You do not release or waive rights or claims that may arise after You sign this Agreement;
 
  (iii)   You waive rights and claims You may have had under the OWBPA and the ADEA, but only in exchange for payments and/or benefits in addition to anything of value to which You are already entitled;
 
  (iv)   You have been advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement;
 
  (v)   You have 45 days (the “Offer Period”) from receipt of this Agreement to consider whether to sign it. If You sign before the end of the Offer Period, You acknowledge that Your decision to do so was knowing, voluntary, and not induced by fraud, misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw, alter, or provide different terms prior to the expiration of the Offer Period;
 
JWE Initials     

Page 3 of 7 - Separation and Release Agreement


 

  (vi)   You have 7 days after signing this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”). If You revoke, the Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable and You shall not be entitled to the separation benefits stated above. To be effective, the revocation must be in writing and received by the Chief Legal Officer, S1 Corporation, 3500 Lenox Road, Suite 200, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, or his successor, within the Revocation Period;
 
  (vii)   this Waiver will not become effective or enforceable until the Revocation Period has expired; and
B. Your Ongoing Obligations
1. Return of Company Property. You certify, by your signature below, that You have returned to the Company all of the Company’s property, including, but not limited to, keys, pass cards, credit cards, customer lists, rolodexes, tapes, software, computer files, marketing and sales materials, and any other record, document or piece of equipment belonging to the Company, provided that You will be entitled to retain the laptop computer previously provided to You by the Company. You further certify that you have not retained any copies of the Company’s property, including any copies existing in electronic form, which are in Your possession or control. You acknowledge that You have not and will not destroy, delete, or alter any Company property without the Company’s consent.
2. Non-Disparagement. You have not and will not make any disparaging or defamatory statements, whether written or verbal, regarding the Company or its officers, directors or employees.
3. Future Employment. You agree that the Company has no obligation to consider You for employment should You apply in the future.
4. Exercise of Vested Options. Exclusive of the accelerated options described in Section A (1) (e), as of the Separation Date You were vested in a non-qualified option to purchase 1,647,250 shares of the common stock of the Company (the “Options”).
5. Confidentiality. You acknowledge and agree that neither You nor anyone acting on Your behalf has made or shall make any disclosures concerning the existence or terms of this Agreement to any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any representative of the media, judicial or administrative agency or body, business entity, or association, except: (i) Your spouse; (ii) Your attorneys, accountants, or financial advisors, but only to the extent disclosure is necessary to obtain legal or professional services from such persons; (iii) the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, or the Georgia state and local taxing authorities, but only when disclosure is necessary to produce a document for tax and/or Social Security reasons and upon the request of the governmental agency; or (iv) a government agency or court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a legally enforceable subpoena. If You are

contacted, served, or learn that You will be served with a subpoena to compel Your testimony or the production of documents concerning this Agreement or Your employment with the Company, You agree to immediately notify the Company’s Human Resources Director by telephone and as soon as possible thereafter in writing. If You disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any person or entity described in sub-clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, You shall inform such person or entity of this confidentiality provision. You shall also instruct such person or entity to maintain the same level of confidentiality required by this provision. Any breach of this provision by such person or entity will be considered a breach by You. You may not use this Agreement as evidence, except in a proceeding in which a breach of this Agreement is alleged.
C. General Provisions
1. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement is not an admission of liability by the Company. The Company denies any liability whatsoever. The Company enters into this Agreement to reach a mutual agreement concerning Your separation from the Company.
2. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement other than a challenge to the OWBPA/ADEA Waiver set forth in Section A(3) above, the Company shall, if it is the prevailing party, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
3. Waiver. The Company’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of that or any other provision. The Company’s waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of any other breach.
4. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Georgia shall govern this Agreement. If Georgia’s conflict of law rules would apply another state’s laws, the Parties agree that Georgia law shall still govern.
6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement executed by You on November 24, 2000 (the “Prior Agreement”) (collectively, the “Agreements”) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties. The Prior Agreement is incorporated by reference, and any post-termination obligations contained in the Prior Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall survive cessation of Your employment. You acknowledge that the post-termination obligations contained in the Prior Agreement are valid, enforceable and reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Company, and You agree to abide by such obligations. These Agreements supersede any prior communications, agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties arising out of or relating to Your employment and the termination of that employment, including

without limitation Your employment agreement dated April 27, 2001. Other than this Agreement, no other representation, promise or agreement has been made with You to cause You to sign this Agreement.
7. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by both Parties.
8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be assignable to, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company’s successors and assigns, including, without limitation, successors through merger, name change, consolidation, or sale of a majority of the Company’s stock or assets, and shall be binding upon You and Your heirs and assigns.
