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 required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason. When we use the terms “S1 Corporation”, “S1”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our,” we mean S1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
          S1 Corporation (“S1”) is a global provider of software and related services that automate the processing of financial transactions. Our solutions are designed for financial organizations including banks, credit unions, insurance companies, transaction processors, payment card associations, and retailers. We operate and manage S1 in two business segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents global banking and insurance solutions primarily targeting larger financial institutions. The Postilion segment represents the community financial, full service banking and lending businesses in North America (“FSB”) and global payment processing and management solutions.
             
Financial Reporting Segments   Enterprise   Postilion
Marketing Brands
  S1 Enterprise   Postilion   FSB
          We sell our solutions primarily to traditional financial services providers, such as banks, credit unions and insurance companies, as well as transaction processors and retailers. Our solutions address the needs of small, mid-sized and large 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 revenue related to hosting applications in our data center and electronic bill payment services. We also generate recurring revenues by charging our customers a periodic fee for term licenses including the right-to-use the 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 word “subscription” as being synonymous with a term license. 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.
          Our Enterprise segment supports channels that a bank uses to interact with its customers, including self service channels like the Internet for personal, business and corporate banking, trade finance, mobile banking, and full service channels such as teller, branch, sales and service and call center. Historically, we have licensed the Enterprise suite of products on both a perpetual and subscription basis, but since the fourth quarter of 2006, Enterprise products are primarily offered on a perpetual license basis. With the focus on selling perpetual licenses for our Enterprise products going forward, license revenues may fluctuate in any given period depending on the amount, timing and nature of customer licensing activity.
          Our Postilion segment provides Internet personal and business banking, voice banking, and mobile banking solutions to community banks and credit unions, as well as payment processing and management solutions which drive automated teller machines (“ATM”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) devices to financial institutions, retailers, third-party processors,

payments associations, and other transaction generating endpoints. In addition, through our FSB Solutions brand, the Postilion segment offers full service banking and lending applications including teller, sales and service activities including new account opening, and solutions for the call center agent’s desktop. We license our Postilion suite of online, telephone and mobile banking applications primarily on a subscription basis. Postilion’s payment processing and management and full service banking solutions are primarily licensed on a perpetual basis.
          We sell our solutions to small, mid-sized and large financial and retail organizations in two geographic regions: (i) Americas, and (ii) 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.
General Background
          We are headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, USA, with 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, Melbourne, Munich, Pune, Chertsey and Singapore. S1 Corporation is incorporated in Delaware.
          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 applications that address multiple customer interaction channels on a common platform. In addition, we acquired payments processing and management functionality that has also been integrated with our community financial solutions.
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:
    Create satisfied customers by developing the most innovative solutions and providing the highest level of customer service. With a satisfied customer comes the opportunity to sell additional solutions and services.
 
    Cross-sell the multiple applications that run on the S1 Enterprise and Postilion platforms.
 
    Continue improving operations to be the most efficient software company possible.
 
    Create and deliver innovative, quality products and services to meet current market demands and future customer needs.
 
    Broaden our product offerings and increase our market penetration by selectively making acquisitions and/or pursuing new markets for our solutions.

Enterprise Segment
          S1 Enterprise offers applications for retail and corporate banking, branch banking, and call center operations on the Enterprise platform with a common architecture and database. We use a common technology platform, the S1 Enterprise Platform, for our S1 Enterprise applications, which benefits our customers in a number of ways. Information generated from customer interactions is made available across multiple applications on a real-time basis, though it is produced and collected in multiple delivery channels including the branch, call center, telephone, and Internet. The S1 Enterprise Application Manager enables our customers’ employees to seamlessly manage their products and to market and service customers. The S1 Enterprise Application Manager provides 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, for example.
          There are four product groups in S1 Enterprise. These include Retail Online, Treasury Online, Branch Banking and Call Center, and Insurance. The Retail Online solutions allow our customers to establish and maintain banking functionality with individuals and small businesses via the Internet or through a mobile device. The Treasury Online solutions provide our customers with the ability to provide online global cash management and trade finance solutions to large corporate customers. The Branch Banking and Call Center products provide our customers with the technology necessary to carry out customer service functions within bank branch and call center environments. S1 Insurance offers solutions and services to the insurance industry to provide banking, insurance sales, policy service functionality for the agency and consumer direct sales via web-based interfaces.

S1 Branch Banking and Call Center products include teller and platform capability with integrated channel management and cross-channel data integration.

FSB Solutions
          FSB offers a full-range of branch banking and lending technology solutions primarily for small to medium size 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. It also includes options for fully integrated Teller image capture. The FSB Sales and Services Platform combines extensive transaction processing functionality with sales tools and core services that facilitate 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 capabilities to drive alerts, awards, and promotions directly to the banks’ various delivery channels.
 
    FSB Lending provides a highly configurable and complete consumer, business and credit origination software solution. The system delivers straight-through processing control from application through loan booking, with support for multiple data entry channels. The software is differentiated in part through its ability to deliver broad application-level strength in each area of lending through a universal platform, which provides tremendous operational and administrative consistency and control.
Additional Solutions

Services

    Custom Software Development — Our software developers customize certain software solutions to meet the specific

      business requirements of our customers — from analysis and design to building and testing;
 
    Educational Services — Our training professionals help financial institutions train their employees to use our solutions to better serve their customers; and
 
    Web Design Services — Our web design group assists with the delivery of a complete web presence for financial institutions.
Customer Support
          The customer support teams in the Enterprise and Postilion segments offer various levels of service to meet an organization’s support needs and budgets, including:

We host S1 applications for our financial customers in our global data center facility in Norcross, Georgia, which handles more than 3.3 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 global factors influencing the competitive environment for financial services providers, including:
    pressure to grow their businesses;
 
    pressure to reduce costs through mergers and acquisitions;
 
    increasing electronic payment transaction volumes;
 
    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, ATM and POS terminals.

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 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 customer data, but also into customer transaction behavior.
          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. 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 which provide a unified experience for their customers across multiple points of interaction, delivered at the lowest possible cost, will provide them with 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. Additional security requirements are expected for high risk transactions.
          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 ability at the point of deposit, such as in a teller application, greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of deposit taking.
          We believe these factors are examples of initiatives that 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
          In August, 2006, we completed the sale of our Risk and Compliance segment (“FRS”) which provided regulatory reporting, financial intelligence and analytic solutions to financial institutions worldwide. FRS has contracted with our Pune, India location to continue to provide development and administrative services.
          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 reseller agreement with Intervoice to offer our customers voice and speech recognition solutions.
Customers and Markets
          We provide solutions for financial institutions, ranging from global financial services organizations to community

banks and credit unions and we provide payment solutions to retailers.
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, Microsoft and numerous core processing vendors such as Misys, Fiserv, and Fidelity National Information Services. We also have relationships with key technology providers, including bill payment providers, credit card processing vendors, retail point-of-sale vendors and printed product vendors.
          In certain geographies, including the Americas, the Middle East and some European countries, we are using partners as sales channels to increase our market reach.
Sales and Marketing
          Each segment maintains dedicated sales and marketing teams that are focused on brand awareness and product sales for 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 $179.1 million, $192.3 million and $204.9 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, of which 83%, 82% and 75%, respectively, were attributed to sales in the United States.
          In the United States, we utilize direct sales teams that call on financial institutions and retailers to identify sales opportunities. Our sales teams are organized by product lines and primarily call on existing customers and new prospects for first time sales, cross-selling new and add-on applications and services. Our sales teams are responsible for the relationship with their assigned customers including customer satisfaction, product and service delivery and cross-selling new and add-on applications and services. Additionally, we have dedicated client service managers in place for our larger customers to support the relationship for their assigned customers including customer satisfaction, product and services delivery.
          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 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 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, Portugal, Dubai and most countries in the Middle East, and through resellers in other areas such as Kuwait, Austria, Greece, Jordan, Egypt and Israel. In Africa, we sell on a direct sales basis in South Africa on a 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, Indonesia and Malaysia with direct sales into Thailand, Singapore, 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 participation and exhibition at industry conferences and trade shows, hosting product specific user conferences, 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. We have dedicated development centers in the United States and internationally, primarily in India and South Africa. Our Enterprise groups utilize resources from our Pune, India location to augment their staff for product development as well as implementation services. Postilion product groups utilize resources in the United States and South Africa and FSB utilizes resources in the United States and India. We employ best practices from well-known enterprise software companies to ensure that the entire organization – products, services,

delivery, and support – is ready to successfully and repeatedly deliver products to the market and focus on customer success. We spent $40.4 million, $38.9 million and $23.7 million on product development efforts related to continuing operations in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
           In our Enterprise segment, we are integrating our mobile banking solution into our Retail Online products. The Enterprise applications are available independently or collectively as an integrated solution that gives banks one view of their customers across channels. Additionally, we are planning to enhance our Teller and Sales & Service products in our Branch solutions.
           In our Postilion segment, we are integrating our community financial products that provide Internet (retail and business), voice and mobile banking onto the Postilion Platform which already provides payment processing and card management solutions. We have already released voice banking and plan to have the Internet retail and business banking, and mobile banking solutions available for release on the Postilion platform in 2008. We also continue to update our legacy Internet banking and branch products for our North American customers. FSB is investing in their branch applications to enhance their Teller solutions.
Competition
          The market for financial and payments software is competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to technological change. We currently perceive our near-term competition as coming from four primary areas: (1) financial institutions’ proprietary in-house development organizations, (2) single-point solution vendors, (3) core processing vendors and (4) enterprise solution vendors.
In-house Development Organizations
          Some financial institutions conduct a significant portion of their software development in-house while others have chosen to outsource to third-party vendors. Generally, only very large organizations have the ability to develop solutions internally. We believe financial organizations may encounter the following challenges when developing 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 (a division of Intuit Inc.), Financial Fusion (a division of Sybase Inc.), and Corillian Corporation (a division of Fiserv Inc.). In branch banking, we compete primarily with Argo Data Resource Corporation and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. In business and corporate banking, we compete primarily with Fundtech Ltd., ACI Worldwide, Inc., Financial Fusion, and Digital Insight. In the electronic payments space, we compete primarily with ACI Worldwide, 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
 
    combining solutions across different channels does not provide a single view of the customer.
Core Processing Vendors

10


Table of Contents

          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 Information Services, Metavante Technologies, Inc., Fiserv 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 S1 Enterprise products, we believe we may increasingly see 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. In addition, we believe our large installed customer base gives us a distinct advantage in understanding and 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, National Credit Union Association and the various state financial regulatory agencies that supervise and regulate the banks, credit unions 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, the agreements giving rise to those processing activities, as well as certain design specifications 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, 2007, we had approximately 1,400 full-time employees, including 780 in customer support, hosting services and professional services, 100 in sales and marketing, 420 in product development and 100 in general and administrative. In addition to full-time employees, we use the services of various independent contractors, primarily for professional services projects and product development.

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 value, number and timing of license or services agreements 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 sell our 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 market 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;
 
    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
          With the exception of 2004 and 2007, we incurred losses from continuing operations in the past 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.

Table of Contents

We depend on one customer, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”), for a significant portion of our revenue and if that customer terminates its relationship with us, or reduces the amount of software or services they buy from us, our revenues and financial performance would decline
          State Farm accounted for 21%, 25% and 25% of our total revenue from continuing operations in 2007, 2006 and 2005. We expect revenue from State Farm as a percentage of total revenue to continue to decrease in future periods. In 2008, we expect revenue from State Farm to be between $38.0 and $41.0 million.  In the course of our relationship with State Farm, they may cancel or reschedule projects at any time, without significant penalty. We can give no assurance that we will be able to retain State Farm as a customer or that we will be able to maintain the same level of revenue contribution from State Farm in the future. State Farm’s license and possession rights for the source code to some of the Enterprise and insurance products gives them flexibility on how they choose to further invest in these products. If State Farm was to decrease the amount of software or services they buy from us, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Security breaches or computer viruses could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services and damaging our reputation and business
          Our products and business may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. We maintain and transmit confidential financial information in providing certain of our services and users of electronic commerce are concerned about the security of transmissions over public networks. Accordingly, it is critical that our facilities and infrastructure remain secure. A security breach affecting us could damage our reputation, deter financial institutions from purchasing our products, deter their end-user customers from using our products, or result in material liability to us.
          Privacy, security, and compliance concerns continue to increase. Security compromises, including identity theft, could deter people from using electronic commerce services such as ours. We may need to spend significant capital or other resources for compliance requirements and protection against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches. Additionally, computer viruses could infiltrate our systems and disrupt our business. Any inability to prevent security breaches or computer viruses could cause our customers to lose confidence in our services and terminate their agreements with us, and could reduce our ability to attract new customers or result in material liability to us.
Most of our customers are in the financial services industry, which is subject to economic changes that could reduce the 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, inflation, or changes in bank credit quality in the United States or abroad, 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 and adversely affect our operating results. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions are common 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 with or acquired by another company.
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 anticipated levels of 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;

13


Table of Contents

    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 efficiently and effectively 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, National Credit Union Association and the various state financial regulatory agencies that supervise and regulate the banks, credit unions 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, the agreements giving rise to those processing activities, and the design of our products that perform banking functions.
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 owned and operated for us by a third party since 2002. In 2004, associated with our acquisition of Mosaic Software Holdings Limited, 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 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 experience 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.
We are from time to time involved in litigation over intellectual property or other 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:

14


Table of Contents

    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.
 
           
          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 the 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 could 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 certain 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.

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 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 may not be adequate.
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 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:
    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 fluctuated after declining from its high in 2000. More recently, the financial services sector has also experienced price fluctuations. Any further negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of technology based companies, particularly those which provide services to the financial services sector 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 affect 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;
 
    approximately 34% of our common stock is owned by four institutions as of December 31, 2007, and a 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;

16


Table of Contents

    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;
 
    security breaches in our software or facilities may cause harm to our business and reputation, result in a loss of customers or result in material liability to us;
 
    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 exercised or shares of our preferred stock are converted into common stock, the market price of our common stock could fall. As of February 15, 2008, we had approximately 56.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or conversion of preferred stock. As of February 15, 2008, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase approximately 6.1 million shares of our common stock, 0.1 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 upon exercise of these options, vesting of restricted stock, 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, economic and military changes and disruptions;

17


Table of Contents

    difficulties in enforcing our contracts in foreign jurisdictions;
 
    export/import controls;
 
    tariff regulations;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign sales, professional services, product development, and support operations;
 
    greater difficulties in trade accounts receivable collection; and
 
    possible adverse tax consequences.
          Some of 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.
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.

     The following table sets forth comparative information regarding the cumulative stockholder return on our common stock since December 31, 2003. 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 its predecessor, 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, 2007. Our cumulative stockholder return over this period is based on an investment of $100 on December 31, 2003 and is compared to the cumulative total return of the Interactive Week Internet Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index.

This tender offer authorized the purchase of up to $55.0 million of our common stock subject to pre-defined purchase guidelines. As of December 31, 2006, we repurchased 10.5 million shares at an approximate cost of $5.32 per share. The total cost to repurchase the stock, including related transaction costs, was $55.8 million. The offer expired at midnight on December 14, 2006.
     On March 12, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to $55 million of our common stock. The tender offer was completed in April 2007. We repurchased and retired a total of 16,155 shares for a cost of $0.6 million, which includes fixed fees ($0.5 million) for related transaction costs.
     On May 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we could repurchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock from time to time in open market and privately negotiated transactions as market and business conditions warrant. On August 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $20.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. On December 12, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $10.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $60.0 million. There is no expiration date for this program. Stock repurchases for the program since inception in May 2007 were 6.6 million shares for a total cost of $50.3 million which does not include related transaction fees of approximately $0.02 per share.

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. When we use the terms “S1 Corporation”, “S1”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our,” we mean S1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Executive Overview
     S1 Corporation (“S1”) is a global provider of software and related services that automate the processing of financial transactions. Our solutions are designed for financial organizations including banks, credit unions, insurance companies, transaction processors, payment card associations, and retailers. We operate and manage S1 in two business segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents global banking and insurance solutions primarily targeting larger financial institutions. The Postilion segment represents the community financial, full service banking and lending businesses in North America (“FSB”) and global payment processing and management solutions.

     We sell our solutions primarily to traditional financial services providers, such as banks, credit unions and insurance companies, as well as transaction processors and retailers. Our solutions address the needs of small, mid-sized and large 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 revenue related to hosting applications in our data center and electronic bill payment services. We also generate recurring revenues by charging our customers a periodic fee for term licenses including the right-to-use the 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 word “subscription” as being synonymous with a term license. 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.
     Our Enterprise segment supports channels that a bank uses to interact with its customers, including self service channels like the Internet for personal, business and corporate banking, trade finance, mobile banking, and full service channels such as teller, branch, sales and service and call center, and mobile banking with payments solutions. Historically, we have licensed the Enterprise suite of products on both a perpetual and subscription basis, but since the fourth quarter of 2006, Enterprise products are primarily offered on a perpetual license basis. With the focus on selling perpetual licenses for our Enterprise products going forward, license revenues may fluctuate in any given period depending on the amount, timing and nature of customer licensing activity.
     Our Postilion segment provides Internet personal and business banking, voice banking, and mobile banking solutions to community banks and credit unions, as well as payment processing and management solutions which drive automated teller machines (“ATM”) and point-of-sale (“POS”) devices to financial institutions, retailers, third-party processors, payments associations, and other transaction generating endpoints. In addition, through our FSB Solutions brand, the Postilion segment offers full service banking and lending applications including teller, sales and service activities including new account opening, and solutions for the call center agent’s desktop. We license our Postilion suite of online, telephone and mobile banking applications primarily on a subscription basis. Postilion’s payment processing and management and full service banking solutions are primarily licensed on a perpetual basis.
     We sell our solutions to small, mid-sized and large financial and retail organizations in two geographic regions: (i) Americas, and (ii) 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.

Revenue from Significant Customers
     Revenues from State Farm were 21%, 25% and 25% of our revenues from continuing operations and 39%, 48% and 49% of our Enterprise segment during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect revenue from State Farm to be between $38.0 and $41.0 million for 2008.
Restructuring Charges and Merger Related Costs
     In 2003 and in prior years, 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 than expected sublease income and increased costs of exiting the facilities at end of the lease terms.
     In October 2005, we announced changes to our organization that reduced operating costs and more effectively aligned us with the needs of our customers. The reorganization resulted in a reduction of personnel of approximately 8% as well as the 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 were related to our domestic and international 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 than expected sublease income.
     In the fourth quarter of 2006, we announced additional changes to our organization to reduce operating costs as we continued to align us more closely with our customers. This reorganization resulted in the reduction of personnel of approximately 9% in the United States and Europe, as well as the consolidation of some facilities. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $12.1 million in restructuring costs in 2006, primarily comprised of charges associated with headcount reductions and the consolidation of excess office space. The headcount reductions were primarily in our product development and professional services groups for the Enterprise segment in North America. In 2006, we also 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 taking into consideration the applicable statue of limitations.
     For all restructuring plans, we expect to make future cash expenditures, net of anticipated sublease income, related to these restructuring activities of approximately $9.2 million, of which we anticipate paying approximately $3.0 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 August 2006, we completed the sale of our Risk and Compliance segment (“FRS”) which provided regulatory reporting, financial intelligence and analytic solutions to financial institutions worldwide. In December 2005, we sold our Edify business, which delivered voice and speech recognition solutions to a range of industries. For further information related to discontinued operations, see Note 3 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 (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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. See further discussion of all the accounting policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. 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;
 
    determination of technological feasibility and capitalization of software development costs;
 
    determination of the fair value of employee stock options and stock appreciation rights awards;
 
    recognition of costs in connection with restructuring plans;
 
    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 multiple elements such as license fees for software products, installation services, customization services, training, post-contract customer support, hosting and data center services and, in some cases, hardware or other third party products and services.
     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 applicable Technical Practice Aids issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For software license sales for which any professional 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, which is generally measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract.
     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. Professional services revenues that are provided on a fixed fee basis, revenues are recognized pursuant to SAB 104 “Revenue Recognition” on a proportional performance method which is generally 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 consider the applicability of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-03, “Application of

27


Table of Contents

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 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.”
     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;
 
    whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage of completion and proportional performance methods; and
 
    whether we have vendor specific 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 software license revenue arrangements in our Enterprise segment 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.
     See a full discussion of our revenue recognition policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
     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, and historical discounts, concessions and bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accordingly, our judgments and estimates about the collectibility of our accounts receivable affect revenue, selling expense and the carrying value of our accounts receivable.
     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. 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.
     SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” 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 annual tests, 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.
     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. Due to 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, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock 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 adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, the compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes 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 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, stock appreciation right, or restricted stock and the volatility of our stock. These assumptions affect the estimated fair value of the equity grant. 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. In 2005 and 2006 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 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.

     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. Our reserve for contingencies at year end reflects liabilities including but not limited to loss contract reserves for certain customers.
     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 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. If we continue to sustain profitability in 2008, we will evaluate the possibility of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance in the near future. In the event the valuation allowance is released, the portion of the allowance associated with loss carryforwards generated by stock options will be credited to additional paid-in-capital and will not be reported as a benefit on the statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The disclosure requirements and effect of adoption of this interpretation are presented in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 except as follows: (a) defer the effective date in Statement 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), and (b) remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of Statement 157. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for companies that have also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. Companies are prohibited from retrospectively applying SFAS No. 159 unless they choose to early adopt both SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.

     In November 2007 the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task force on Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative arrangements (“EITF 07-1”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-1 addresses entities entering into arrangements to participate in joint operating activity to, for example, jointly develop and commercialize software. EITF 07-01 addresses how a company should report costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties should be reported by the participants of a collaborative arrangement, how an entity should characterize payments made between participants, and what participants should disclose in the notes to the financial statements. At this time we have not entered into this type of arrangement. However, we may in the future and would then evaluate the impact of EITF 07-01 on our financial position and results of operations.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. This standard replaces the existing guidance in SFAS No. 141 and is effective for business combinations completed in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquirer), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This statement applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations. SFAS No. 141R retains the existing fundamental concepts of accounting for the income tax consequences of business combinations. However, SFAS No. 141R changed some aspects of the accounting for income taxes in a business combination. Currently, any reduction in the acquirer’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of a business combination is recognized as part of the business combination (a reduction of goodwill with a corresponding increase in tax expense). Under SFAS No. 141R, any reduction in the acquirer’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of a business combination is recognized as a reduction of the acquirer’s income tax provision in the period of the business combination. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.

Comparison of 2007 to 2006 Results
     Revenues. The following table sets forth segment revenue data (in thousands) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Total revenue
  $ 112,251     $ 92,674     $ 204,925     $ 100,254     $ 92,056     $ 192,310  
 
                                   
     Total revenues increased by $12.6 million, or 7%, in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase was primarily in the Enterprise segment’s professional services and data center revenues. We derived approximately 21% and 25% of our total revenues from State Farm in 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect our State Farm revenue in 2008 to be between $38.0 and $41.0 million.
     Our Software license revenue includes subscription, or term based arrangements, which allow our customers the right to use our software during a specified period, typically three to five years. Generally, the amount of subscription fees is based on the number of end-users accessing the licensed system, subject in certain circumstances to minimum user levels. Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement and includes the rights to receive support services and unspecified upgrades and enhancements during the term. For certain Postilion customers, the subscription also entitles the customer to receive hosting services. As the number of customers on subscription arrangements increases, revenues for our support and maintenance, data center, and licenses will be impacted by this shift in the timing of revenue recognition. Our total Software license revenues include subscription revenue of $9.1 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This reflects growing acceptance of the Postilion segment’s community financial products on a subscription basis. The Enterprise segment currently sells licenses on a perpetual basis, but sold subscription licenses in the past.
     Since the sales cycle for large financial institutions and retailers can last from six to eighteen months, software license and professional services revenue can be impacted by one or two large customer agreements. Accordingly, Professional services and Software license revenue can increase or decrease based on progress towards completion of projects including project delays. Software license revenue may also fluctuate depending on the amount, timing and nature of customer licensing activity. When professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we record revenue for the perpetual license and professional services over the implementation period using the contract accounting method, typically measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated labor hours for each contract. Otherwise, perpetual license revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
     Our Enterprise segment revenues increased $12.0 million, or 12%, in 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Software license revenues for our Enterprise segment were $6.4 million in 2007, which is a decrease of $3.0 million from the same period in 2006. This decrease is due primarily to the recognition of a large perpetual license sale in the third quarter of 2006 for our corporate banking product. Additionally, we recorded a $0.6 million reserve in the second quarter of 2007 relating to amounts owed by an international customer. Support and maintenance revenues for our Enterprise segment were $16.1 million in 2007, which is an increase of $1.7 million from the same period in 2006 due primarily to increased licensing activity from the corporate banking product and growth in our international business. Professional services revenues for our Enterprise segment were $63.7 million in 2007, an increase of $8.9 million from the same period in 2006 due to growth in the number of customer projects, especially with our Enterprise corporate banking and international customers and projects with our former Risk and Compliance business (increased by $1.8 million from prior year), partially offset by a decline in projects with our largest customer. The increase in Enterprise’s Professional services revenue includes work related to gathering and documenting business requirements for a large international bank for multiple Enterprise applications. We have not entered into a license agreement with the bank and there can be no assurance that we will in the future. If we do enter into a license agreement with the bank for multiple Enterprise applications, the amount and timing of Enterprise’s Software license, Support and maintenance, and Professional services revenue could be materially impacted. Professional services projects in 2006 were impacted by the delay in the release of our Enterprise products. Professional services revenue in any one quarter can be impacted by one or two

large customer projects and therefore, can increase or decrease based on the projects. Data center revenues for our Enterprise segment were $25.5 million in 2007, an increase of $4.3 million from the same period in 2006, due to the increased volume of transactions for existing customers and the addition of two new customers. Other revenues consist primarily of sales of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenues fluctuate based on the timing and mix of products and services sold in connection with particular transactions. We derived approximately 39% and 48% of our Enterprise segment’s revenues from our largest customer in December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Revenues for our Postilion segment were $92.7 million in 2007, an increase of $0.6 million from the same period in 2006. Software license revenues for our Postilion segment were $24.3 million in 2007, an increase of $3.9 million from the same period in 2006, and due primarily to the conversion of community financial customers in North America from annual maintenance revenue and support agreements to long-term subscription agreements, which in some cases include hosting services. Additionally, our payments business had an increase in perpetual license sales to international customers, partially offset by a decrease of additional license sales in our full service banking business. Support and maintenance revenues for the Postilion segment were $29.5 million in 2007, relatively unchanged from the same period in 2006. The support and maintenance revenues reflect growth in the full service banking and payments business offset by a decrease due to business from community financial customers converting to subscription agreements. Professional services revenues for the Postilion segment were $16.0 million in 2007, an increase of $0.6 million from the same period in 2006. The increase in professional services revenues primarily resulted from several domestic and international projects in our payment business. Professional services revenue in any one quarter can be impacted by one or two large customer projects and therefore, can increase or decrease based on the projects. Data center revenues for our Postilion segment were $22.3 million in 2007, a decrease of $3.4 million from the same period in 2006 due in part to customer attrition in our community financial business and the conversion of some hosted customers to subscription agreements. Other revenues consist primarily of sales of third party hardware and software that is used in connection with our products. Other revenues fluctuate based on the timing and mix of products and services sold in connection with particular transactions.
     Stock-based compensation costs. Operating expenses and income from discontinued operations below include stock-based compensation as provided in this table (in thousands):

Total stock-based compensation expense
  $ 8,522     $ 5,663  
 
           
     Direct costs. Direct costs increased $3.7 million in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs were 47% and 49% for the years ended 2007 and 2006, respectively. Direct costs exclude charges for depreciation of property and equipment.
     Costs of software licenses for our products sold include 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 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 products that include third party products. Purchased technology amortization was $2.9 million and $3.6 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. As the majority of costs of software license is the amortization of purchased technology, software license costs are generally flat but the license margin can fluctuate with a large license sale or when purchased technology becomes fully amortized. Overall, the costs of software license were 12% and 15% of software license revenues in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     Costs of professional services, support and maintenance consist primarily of personnel and related infrastructure costs and exclude charges for depreciation of property and equipment. Direct costs associated with professional services, support and maintenance increased $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Both the Enterprise and Postilion segments increased staff in support and services during 2007 to accommodate the growth in professional service projects. Additionally, the Postilion full service banking costs increased as we converted a significant portion of the development staff to support and service functions as part of the reorganization at the end of 2006. The cost increases were partially offset by changes in our contract loss reserves related to Enterprise’s implementation and customization services. In 2005, we entered into a license agreement with a customer for several of our Enterprise products (“Enterprise Agreement”) in which we later determined that the cost to provide the implementation and customization services under the Enterprise Agreement would exceed the associated revenues. Therefore, we recorded a $1.5 million contract loss reserve related to the Enterprise Agreement in late 2005. During the third quarter of 2007, the Enterprise Agreement was renegotiated and subsequently replaced with a new license agreement for our Postilion voice, and retail and business Internet banking products and we reduced our contract loss reserve by $1.3 million. Separately, during 2006, we recorded a contract loss reserve for an international Enterprise customer as we determined that the cost to provide the implementation and customization services would exceed the associated revenues. As a percentage of revenue, costs of professional services, support and maintenance were 54% and 57% of support and maintenance and professional services revenues in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Costs of data center consist primarily of personnel costs, facility costs and related infrastructure costs to support our data center business and excludes charges for depreciation of property and equipment. Data center costs increased $2.6 million in 2007 from the same period in 2006, due primarily to higher costs in our Enterprise segment from an increase in the number of transactions processed which is reflected in the growth in Enterprise’s data center revenues. However, Enterprise’s data center costs as a percentage of revenues for Enterprise have remained relatively unchanged. The Postilion segment’s conversion of customers to subscription agreements impacted data center and software license cost as a percentage of revenue. As a percentage of data center revenues, costs of data center were 52% and 48% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Selling and marketing expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses increased by $3.6 million in 2007 from the same period in 2006. The increase was mainly due to increased stock based compensation expense in both the Enterprise and Postilion segments and increased commission expense from higher revenues. Additionally, during 2007, we increased selling and marketing staff to support our sales growth and marketing programs. As a percentage of revenues, selling and marketing expenses were 15% and 14% in 2007 and 2006, respectively, excluding depreciation expense for property and equipment.
     Product development expenses. Total product development expenses decreased by $15.2 million, or 39%, in 2007 from the same period in 2006. This decrease is mainly attributable to the Enterprise segment’s reduction in personnel and related expenses following the restructuring activities in the fourth quarter of 2006. Additionally, the Postilion full service banking costs decreased after the fourth quarter of 2006 as we converted a significant portion of the development staff to support and service functions as part of the reorganization. This staff costs is now reflected in the costs of professional services, support, and maintenance. Postilion’s payment and community financial business product development costs increased from continued development of a new integrated platform combining the ATM/payments product and our community financial voice and retail and business Internet banking products. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses were 12% and 20% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Historically, we have not capitalized product 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 decreased by $0.4 million in 2007 from the same period in 2006. The decrease is due to legal and consulting fees incurred in 2006 as part of our exploration of strategic alternatives partially offset by higher costs for stock based compensation expense and other professional fees in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 13% and 14% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
      Merger related and restructuring costs. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we abandoned leased office space in two

35


Table of Contents

locations, disposed of related fixed assets with a book value of $0.8 million and reduced headcount by approximately 9%. In connection with this restructuring plan, we recorded a restructuring charge in the amount of $12.1 million. 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. There were no merger related or restructuring costs in 2007.
     Depreciation. Depreciation decreased by $0.8 million in 2007 from the same period in 2006, primarily due to a reduction in capital expenditure spending in late 2006 and the first half of 2007.
     Amortization of other intangible assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was relatively unchanged at $1.2 million in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
     Interest and other income, net. Interest and other income, net, was $2.5 million and $4.9 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. As a result of repurchasing approximately $107 million of our stock in 2006 and 2007, our interest income has decreased along with our cash and investment balances.
     Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million and $1.3 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007 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”). 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 in jurisdictions where we do not have NOLs to offset future income.
     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 net operating loss carryforwards based on estimates regarding our future earnings and the recoverability of the 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. If we continue to sustain profitability during 2008, we may release all or a portion of the valuation allowance as early as the later half of 2008.
     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. We did not recognize any tax benefits during 2007 and 2006. If we continue to sustain profitability during 2008, we do not believe this will have a material impact in 2008.
     Although we have fully reserved net deferred tax assets of approximately $155.9 million as of December 31, 2007 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 we 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. In 2007 there was no income from discontinued operations. For 2006, we recorded income from discontinued operations of $30.1 million, mainly related to the sale of our Risk and Compliance business.

     Total revenues increased $13.2 million, or 7%, to $192.3 million in 2006 from $179.1 million 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. Postilion revenues increased $5.1 million, or 6%, to $92.1 million from $87.0 million in 2006.
     Since the sales cycle for large financial institutions and retailers can last from six to eighteen months, software license and professional services revenue can be impacted by one or two large customer agreements. Accordingly, Professional services and Software license revenue can increase or decrease based on progress towards completion of projects including project delays. Software license revenue may also fluctuate depending on the amount, timing and nature of customer licensing activity. When professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we record revenue for the perpetual license and professional services over the implementation period using the contract accounting method, typically measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated labor hours for each contract. Otherwise, perpetual license revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
     In 2005 and 2006, we licensed our Enterprise suite of products and our Postilion suite of products 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 in 2006 regarding the exploration of strategic alternatives discouraged some customers from entering into long-term contracts with us.
 
     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 $2.8 million perpetual license sale to one domestic customer for our corporate banking product where services provided by us were not considered essential to the functionality of the software. 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 support activity related to our former Edify business which we sold in December 2005. 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, which also contributed to the decline. 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 related to implementation projects after the release of Enterprise 3.5. 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 community financial business. Support and maintenance revenues increased in 2006 by $2.1 million, or 8%, over 2005 led mainly by increases in full service banking products. Services revenue decreased $0.4 million to $15.4 million in 2006 as services in our full service banking business decreased due to the completion of a large customer project, offset by increased services for our payments business. 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 in 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.
          Stock-based compensation costs. Operating expenses and income from discontinued operations below include stock-based compensation as provided in this table (in thousands):

          Direct costs. Direct costs increased by $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. As a percentage of revenues, direct costs were 49% and 50% in 2006 and 2005, 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 products that include third party products. The cost of software licenses will vary with the mix of products sold. Overall, software license costs were 15% and 18% of software license revenue in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The cost of license decreased in 2006 primarily in the Enterprise segment due to license costs associated with selling Edify products to Enterprise customers while Edify was still part of S1 (Edify was sold in December 2005). Purchased technology amortization was $3.6 million and $3.7 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.
          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 would exceed the contractual revenues. Postilion segment costs increased in 2006 as the segment aligned itself to focus on customer retention and converting 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 57% and 58% of revenues in 2006 and 2005.
          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 costs to move our disaster recovery functions in-house during 2006, security initiatives and costs to build out environments for new Enterprise customers. 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 2006 and 2005.
          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 personnel as a result of a reorganization in October 2005. 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/payments 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 20% and 23% during 2006 and 2005, 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, partially offset by a reduction in personnel related expenses as a result of the October 2005 reorganization. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 14% and 15% in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
          Merger related and restructuring 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 approximately 9%. 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 taking into consideration the applicable statue of limitations.
          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 $7.8 million and $8.9 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.
          Amortization of other intangible assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $1.3 million in 2006 and 2005, 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 $4.9 million and $2.1 million for 2006 and 2005, 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 $1.3 million and $0.1 million for 2006 and 2005, 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 in jurisdictions where we do not have NOLs to offset future income.
          Income from discontinued operations. We recorded income from discontinued operations of $30.1 million during 2006 and $25.7 million for 2005. Income from discontinued operations consisted of (in thousands):

(1)   Working capital includes deferred revenues of $26.3 million and $29.3 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
          Operating activities. During the year ended December 31, 2007, cash provided by operations was $32.3 million, compared to $3.5 million in 2006. The change in net cash flows from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was an increase of $34.4 million reflecting improvement in cash provided from continuing operations, as we have improved operating income due to savings from the reduction in workforce in late 2006 and growth in higher margin revenue customers. The change in operating assets and liabilities primarily reflects the improvement in days sales outstanding for collection of accounts receivable, offset by payments made from the restructuring reserve, the reduction of loss accruals and extinguishing of merger related expenses. We expect our net income will continue to exceed our working capital requirements and purchases of property, equipment, and technology in 2008. Additionally, we do not expect significant changes to our non-cash expenses in 2008 relating to depreciation and amortization.
     Cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the effects of:
    our net income of $19.5 million;
 
    depreciation and amortization of $11.1 million;
 
    stock based compensation expense of $8.5 million;
 
    decrease in accounts receivable due to the improvement of days sales outstanding to 67 days from 95 days;
 
    decrease in liabilities of $14.4 million for payments from the restructuring reserve of $10.3 million, reduction of contract loss reserves of $2.1 million primarily for two customers and the extinguishment of merger related costs of $1.1 million; and
 
    decrease in accounts payable of $1.5 million and an increase of prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.8 million.

    a $1.0 million loss on disposal of property and equipment;
 
    a decrease of $4.9 million in prepaid expenses and other assets; and
 
    changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $0.6 million.
          Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $31.6 million and $46.6 million for the same period in 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect our capital purchasing activity in 2008 will not change significantly from our 2007 activity.
     During the year ended 2007, we:
    made net purchases of $2.5 million from cash and cash equivalents increasing our short-term investments to $23.9 million;
 
    paid an escrow deposit of $1.0 million and a security deposit of $0.6 million related to the purchase of our corporate headquarters; and
 
    purchased $9.7 million of property, equipment, and technology, comprising of $2.8 million for our corporate headquarters, $2.4 million for a source code license and the remainder for leasehold improvements and

      hardware expenditures. We financed $3.3 million of hardware expenditures through capital leases.
     During the year ended 2006, we:
    paid $14.0 million to the shareholders of Mosaic in settlement of an earn-out of which $12.9 million was accrued in 2005;
 
    converted $22.8 million, net, from short-term investments to cash and cash equivalents lowering our short-term investments to $21.4 million;
 
    received net proceeds from the sale of the Risk and Compliance segment of $32.0 million;
 
    received $0.6 million working capital adjustment from the sale of Edify; and
 
    acquired $6.3 million of property and equipment and financed $7.0 million of equipment through capital leases.
     During the year ended 2005, we:
    converted $21.1 million, net, from short-term investments to cash and cash equivalents lowering our short-term investments to $44.2 million;
 
    received net proceeds from the sale of the Edify segment of $33.2 million;
 
    purchased $6.9 million of property and equipment as we financed $0.5 million of equipment as capital leases; and
 
    paid approximately $0.9 million in connection with an acquisition.
          Financing activities. Cash used by financing activities was $44.1 million, $50.7 million and $4.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Under our current stock repurchase program established in May 2007, we may, at our discretion, repurchase our common stock from time to time in open market and privately negotiated transactions as market and business conditions warrant. We expect our proceeds from the exercise of stock options will offset some of our obligations to settle stock appreciation rights awards in cash in future periods.
     During the year ended 2007, we:
    repurchased $51.0 of our common stock primarily pursuant to an authorized stock repurchase program;
 
    received $11.5 million from the exercise of common stock under our employee stock option plans;
 
    paid $1.1 million on stock appreciation rights awards; and
 
    paid $3.1 million for capital lease obligations and $0.4 million for debt obligations.
     During the year ended 2006, we:
    repurchased $55.8 million of our common stock;
 
    received $5.4 million from the exercise of common stock under our employee stock option plans;
 
    received $2.5 million from a sale lease back transaction; and

    paid $2.3 million for capital lease obligations and $0.5 million for debt obligations.
     During the year ended 2005, we:
    received $1.1 million from the exercise of common stock under our employee stock option plans;
 
    repurchased $3.4 million of our common stock; and
 
    paid $1.6 million for capital lease obligations and $0.5 million for debt obligations.
          Investments. At December 31, 2007, our short-term investments included $10.9 million related to a specific mutual fund trust which was previously classified as cash and cash equivalents. In December 2007, we were informed that this fund (i) was closed with respect to additional investments, (ii) had suspended redemptions except in the case of requests for redemptions in kind, and (iii) would begin an orderly liquidation and dissolution of portfolio assets. In 2008, we have received $3.7 million in cash from the mutual fund trust through February 26, 2008. We expect most of the fund to be paid out over the next twelve months as the underlying investments mature or are liquidated.
          Restricted Cash. At December 31, 2007, we had restricted cash relating to our operating leases of $0.8 million and escrow for building improvements of $1.0 million related to our property financed with a note payable. Additionally, we had $3.7 million held in escrow related to the sale of our Risk and Compliance segment, which was released to us in February 2008.
          Stock Repurchase Program. In November 2006, our Board of Directors approved a tender offer to repurchase our common stock. This tender offer authorized the purchase of up to $55.0 million of our common stock subject to pre-defined purchase guidelines. As of December 31, 2006, we repurchased 10.5 million shares at an approximate cost of $55.8 million. The offer expired on December 14, 2006.
          On March 12, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to $55 million of our common stock. The tender offer was completed in April 2007. We repurchased and retired a total of 16,155 shares for a cost of $0.6 million.
          On May 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we could repurchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock from time to time in open market and privately negotiated transactions as market and business conditions warrant. On August 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $20.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. On December 12, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $10.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $60.0 million. There is no expiration date for this program. Stock repurchases for the program since inception in May 2007 were 6.6 million shares for a total cost of $50.3 million which does not include related transaction fees of approximately $0.02 per share.
          Restructuring. The restructuring reserves include future rent payments for vacated facilities, net of anticipated sublease income and severance payments to terminated employees. As of December 31, 2007, we expect to make future cash payments, net of anticipated sublease income, related to these restructuring activities of approximately $9.2 million, of which we anticipate paying approximately $3.0 million within the next twelve months. Leases for our vacated facilities expire on various terms through 2011.
          Contractual Obligations. In connection with the lease on our former corporate offices, we issued to our landlord standby letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $3.3 million to guarantee certain obligations under the lease agreement. The amount that we are required to maintain under the standby letter of credit decreases as our future obligations under the lease agreement decline. At December 31, 2007, there were no drawings outstanding under the letter of credit.
          In August 2007, we completed the purchase of our corporate headquarters for $8.0 million, of which we paid $2.8 million in cash and assumed a note payable of $5.2 million that is due in February, 2011. We lease office space and computer equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2023. As a result of the consolidation of our offices over the past few years, we have entered into non-cancelable sub-lease agreements for our vacated properties. We also lease certain computer equipment under capital lease arrangements.

          Our other liabilities include $2.1 million of tax liabilities recorded pursuant to the provision of FIN 48. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the period of cash settlement to the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, those amounts have been excluded from the table of minimum contractual obligations.
          Future minimum payments including interest under long-term debt, operating and capital leases, operating sublease income, and purchase obligations to vendors are as follows (in thousands):

          Stock Appreciation Rights Awards. At December 31, 2007, we have a cash liability of approximately $2.6 million related to our November 2006 Stock Appreciation Rights awards that have vested and are exercisable at the discretion of the employees holding such awards. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2008, the remaining Stock Appreciation Rights awards are scheduled to vest and the estimated cash liability for these awards is $3.6 million based on our valuation using the closing share price as of December 31, 2007.
          Capital Requirements. We believe that our expected cash flows from operations together with our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, debt obligations, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We expect cash flows from operations will continue to exceed our working capital, debt obligations and capital expenditures going forward. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or issue debt securities or establish a 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 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. We believe most of our international operations are naturally hedged for foreign currency risk as our foreign subsidiaries invoice their customers and satisfy their obligations in their local currencies with the exception of our development center in India. However, we may hedge certain customer contracts or development locations that are not considered to be naturally hedged by revenues and costs in the functional currency. There can be no guarantee that foreign currency fluctuations in the future will not be significant or fully hedged.
          Our development center in India is not naturally hedged for foreign currency risk since they satisfy their obligations in their local currency and are funded in U.S. dollars. In order to mitigate foreign currency risk in India, we have funded

approximately all their expected costs for 2008 as of December 31, 2007 by exchanging U.S. dollars into Indian Rupees. While this does not hedge our exposure in our statement of operations, this does hedge our cash positions against foreign currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Indian Rupee for 2008.
          We have used derivative financial instruments to manage 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 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 currently hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our hedging activity is for specific exposures related to certain contracts or locations that have potential risk due to the currency as the costs of services differs from the currency used to bill our customers. The use of financial instruments in hedging activity is not material to our financial position or statement of operations.
          Our long-term debt and 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 long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of S1 Corporation:
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, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 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. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
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 and the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in 2007.
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, 2007, 2006 and 2005
1. Business Overview
          S1 Corporation (“S1”) is a global provider of software and related services that automate the processing of financial transactions. Our solutions are designed for financial organizations including banks, credit unions, insurance companies, transaction processors, payment card associations, and retailers. We operate and manage S1 in two business segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents global banking and insurance solutions primarily targeting larger financial institutions. The Postilion segment represents the community financial, full service banking and lending businesses in North America (“FSB”) and global payment processing and management solutions.
2. Summary of Accounting Policies
     Basis of presentation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S1 Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We sold our Risk and Compliance segment, which did business as FRS, in 2006, and our Edify segment in 2005. We have accounted for each of these disposals as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Risk and Compliance and Edify 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. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. When we use the terms “S1 Corporation”, “S1”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our,” we mean S1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
     Use of estimates
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the Unites States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes, including estimates of revenue, probable losses and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     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, and debt obligations. 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 debt obligations approximates their fair value given their market rates of interest and maturity schedules.
          Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with commercial banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents also includes certain short term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, these investments have net asset values (NAV) of $1.00 per unit.
          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 have in prior years included 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. Although these securities are issued and rated as long term bonds, they are priced and

54


Table of Contents

traded as short term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset. As of December 31, 2007, our investments do not contain auction rate securities.
          We also have certain investments that are accounted for under SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. Each investment is analyzed to determine whether it represents a pooled investment that has a fair value per share or unit that is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions. The analysis is limited to those professionally managed investments that (1) pool the capital of investors to invest in bonds (debt securities), options, currencies, or money market securities for current income, capital appreciation, or both consistent with the investment objectives of the fund; (2) have a NAV provided to the investor periodically, but no less frequently than at each month end; and, (3) the month-end NAV is the price paid or received by investors purchasing or selling investments at month end. Any unrealized holding gains and losses resulting from these securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, if any, are included in earnings.
          We have an investment policy that, among other things, governs credit quality, diversification, maturity restrictions and prohibited transactions, the primary objective of which is the preservation of principal. Our investment policy guides us to invest in A1/A+ to AAA rated or government backed securities, and prohibits investments in margin trades, short sales, derivatives, and equity instruments. Our policy and practice is to avoid concentrations of investments in any one security issuer.
          Generally, the classification of the investment is made when we purchase the investment. However, if the investment changes and no longer meets the definition of cash and cash equivalents, the investment will be reclassified to short term investments during the quarter the investment changes.
          Investments with a remaining maturity that exceed one year are reported in other assets. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had no investments whose remaining maturity exceeded one year.
          At December 31, 2007, we had restricted cash to secure our operating leases of $0.8 million and escrow for building improvements of $1.0 million related to our property financed with a note payable. We also had cash in escrow related to the sale of our former Risk and Compliance segment of $3.7 million. Restricted cash is included in other current assets or other assets depending upon expiration dates.
     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 professional services where percentage of completion or proportional performance 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, historical discounts, concessions and write-offs, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, and current economic trends. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when we estimate it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments.
     Property and equipment
          We report property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives

55


Table of Contents

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. Depreciation for assets held under capital leases is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 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:
     
Building
  27 years
Building improvements
  5 to 15 years
Leasehold improvements
  shorter of lease term or 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
Computer equipment (1)
  2 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, 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. Based upon the results of our annual impairment test in 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairments were identified.
     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 five 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, usually five years. The amortization expense related to purchased and acquired 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 equity method. 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. Under cost basis accounting, we recognize the net operating results of the investee only to the extent distributed by the investee as dividends. 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,

56


Table of Contents

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.
          Prior to 2007, our investment in Yodlee, Inc. was accounted for using the equity method. In 2007, we converted to the cost basis as our ownership decreased below 20% and we do not have significant influence. We have not received any dividend payments since changing to the cost basis in 2007.
     Concentration of credit risk and uncertainties
          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, inflation, or changes in bank credit quality in the United States or aboard, 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 and adversely affect our operating results. 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 with or acquired by another company.
          Our business success depends in part on our relationships with a limited number of large customers. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, one customer, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and its subsidiary State Farm Bank (“State Farm”), represented 21%, 25% and 25%, respectively of total revenues from continuing operations. State Farm represented 23% and 34% of total receivables at December 31, 2007 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 by placing them with a number of major domestic and foreign financial institutions.
     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 applicable Technical Practice Aids issued 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 (“VSOE”) 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 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,

57


Table of Contents

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.
          Our software license revenue includes subscription, or term based arrangements, which allow our customers the right to use our software during a specified period, typically three to five years. Generally, the amount of subscription fees is based on the number of end-users accessing the licensed system, subject in certain circumstances to minimum user levels. Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement and includes the rights to receive support services and unspecified upgrades and enhancements during the term. For certain Postilion customers, the subscription also entitles the customer to receive hosting services. Our total Software license revenues include subscription revenue of $9.1 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
          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. VSOE of fair value of support and maintenance revenues is based on substantive renewal rates which are to be charged once the initial period expires.
          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 which is generally 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.
          VSOE of fair value of professional services revenue is based upon consistent stand-alone pricing.
          Data center revenue. We 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 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.”
          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.
          VSOE of fair value of data center revenue is based on consistent stand-alone pricing and renewal rates.
          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.
          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 and acquired 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 our data centers. Costs of revenues exclude charges for depreciation of property and equipment.
     Product development costs
          Product development costs include 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 the 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. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we approved a restructuring plan to change our organization to reduce operating costs and align us with the needs of our customers. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we approved an additional plan to realign our operations to further reduce costs and accelerate our ability to execute against a business plan of establishing independent business units and brands.
          See Note 10 for additional discussion of these restructuring activities.
     Interest and other income, net
          Interest and other income, net contains our interest income from cash deposits and investments, interest expense mainly related to our debt, realized foreign exchange gain (loss), foreign withholding taxes, gains (loss) from disposals, and other non-operating costs.

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 14 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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, includes 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 option vesting period. Pro forma results have not been restated. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations 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 units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other forms of awards to officers, directors and employees. 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. However, grants of stock options and restricted stock awards to directors generally vest after one year. Certain stock options granted in 2006 vest and become exercisable ratably over two years. The RSUs and SARs 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. For SARs, the fair value is recalculated at the end of the current period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model as the awards are settled in cash and our balance sheet reflects the current liability earned. The fair value of the RSUs is determined by the market price of our stock on the date of grant. For stock options, 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 affect the compensation expense we record in future periods. These assumptions generally require significant analysis and judgment. Some of the assumptions are based on external data, while some assumptions are derived from our historical experience with share-based payments. We currently estimate expected term using our historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation activity and volatility by considering our historical stock volatility. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on

Table of Contents

U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with the remaining term equal to the expected term used as the input to the Black-Scholes model. In order to properly calculate stock-based compensation expense, we must determine the historical rate of pre-vesting forfeitures. We estimate forfeitures using a weighted-average historical forfeiture rate. Our estimates of forfeitures are adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimates.
          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, 2007, of the Company’s approximate $230.4 million of domestic tax net operating loss carryforwards, the benefit of approximately $201.3 million of these tax net operating loss carryforwards will be accounted for directly to equity as additional paid-in-capital. Additionally, the Company has approximately $72.3 million foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards unaffected by this accounting treatment.
          There was no capitalized stock-based compensation cost as of December 31, 2007. We did not recognize any tax benefits during 2007 and 2006.
          The fair values for stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                         
    2007   2006   2005
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Expected volatility
    45.0 %     51.9 %     66.9 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.8 %     4.7 %     4.3 %
Expected term
  4.0years   4.0years   4.0years
          The fair values for cash-settled SARs were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                 
    2007   2006
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
Expected volatility
    44.8 %     59.1 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.3 %     4.6 %
Expected term
  3.6years   4.6years
          The following table shows the effect on net income as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 compared to the results had we continued to account for stock-based employee compensation under APB No. 25 (in thousands, except for per share data):

     Net income (loss) per share
          We calculate earnings per share by allocating income between common stock and participating securities 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 earnings. See Note 19 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
          On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The disclosure requirements and effect of adoption of this interpretation are presented in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 except as follows: (a) defer the effective date in Statement 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), and (b) remove certain leasing transactions from the scope of Statement 157. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.
          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for companies that have also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. Companies are prohibited from retrospectively applying SFAS No. 159 unless they choose to early adopt both SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.
          In November 2007 the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task force on Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative arrangements (“EITF 07-1”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF 07-1 addresses entities entering into arrangements to participate in joint operating activity to, for example, jointly develop and commercialize software. EITF 07-01 addresses how a company should report costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties should be reported by the participants of a collaborative arrangement, how an entity should characterize payments made between participants, and what participants should disclose in the notes to the financial statements. At this time we have not entered into this type of arrangement. However, we may in the future and would then evaluate the impact of EITF 07-01 on our financial position and results of operations.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. This standard replaces the existing guidance in SFAS No. 141 and is effective for business combinations completed in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquirer), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This statement applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations. SFAS No. 141R retains the existing fundamental concepts of accounting for the income tax consequences of business combinations. However, SFAS No. 141R changed some aspects of the accounting for income taxes in a business combination. Currently, any reduction in the acquirer’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of a business combination is recognized as part of the business combination (a reduction of goodwill with a corresponding increase in tax expense). Under SFAS No. 141R, any reduction in the acquirer’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of a business combination is recognized as a reduction of the acquirer’s income tax provision in the period of the business combination. We do not believe the implementation of this Statement will be material to our financial position and results of operations.
3. 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 of such amount placed in escrow. The agreement provided for a working capital adjustment. During the third quarter 2006, we paid $1.0 million as a preliminary working capital adjustment. In the fourth quarter 2006, we recorded a liability for an additional $0.7 million for the final working 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. Additionally, 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 and received $554,000 in the second quarter of 2006 bringing the total sale price to $34.1 million. In addition, under the agreement, we contracted to continue to be a reseller of Edify products following the closing of the transaction. Activity under the reseller agreement has not been significant to date and is not expected to be significant in the future.
          We have accounted for the disposal of Risk and Compliance and Edify as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” As such, Risk and Compliance and Edify results for prior year periods are presented in discontinued operations of the consolidated statement of operations.

          Yodlee, Inc.
          As a result of our sale of VerticalOne to Yodlee in January 2001, we own approximately 14% of Yodlee at December 31, 2007. In connection with the sale, we were a non-exclusive reseller of Yodlee’s aggregation service. Subject to certain conditions, (i) we could sell Yodlee’s aggregation service directly to certain of our customers and retain 100% of the fees or (ii) we would assist Yodlee with the sale of its aggregation service to one of its customers in return for 50% of their fees. The OEM agreement that expired in July 2005, was subsequently extended through January 2006 for current customers only, renewed

in February 2006 and now expires in 2009. Currently, we are only servicing existing customers. We paid $0.1 and $0.3 million to Yodlee during 2007 and 2006 for user and maintenance fees, respectively. Under a data center agreement, we agreed to provide Yodlee with certain data center services for a fee. During 2005, we provided data center services in the amount of $0.4 million.

Pre-2003 Restructuring Plans
     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 facilities at end of the leases.

2005 Restructuring Plan
     In October 2005, we approved a plan of reorganization to change our organization that reduced operating costs and more effectively aligned us with the needs of our customers. The reorganization resulted in a reduction of personnel of approximately 8% as well as the 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 were related to our domestic and international financial institution service solution teams. In 2006, we recorded an additional $0.3 million to reflect employee termination benefits for employees who were placed on transition plans in 2005 and left us in 2006. In 2006, we also evaluated the sublease assumptions and recorded additional charges of $1.5 million related to increased loss on facilities due to lower expected sublease income.
     The restructuring charges from this plan and their utilization as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 for the years then ended are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2006 Restructuring Plan
     In the fourth quarter of 2006, we approved a plan of reorganization to change our organization to reduce operating costs as we aligned more closely with our customers. The reorganization resulted in a reduction of personnel of approximately 9% in both the United States and Europe as well as the consolidation of some facilities. In connection with this reorganization, we recorded $12.1 million in restructuring costs in 2006, primarily comprised of charges associated with headcount reductions and the consolidation of excess office space. The headcount reductions were primarily in our product development and services groups for the Enterprise segment.
     The restructuring charges from this plan and the utilization as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the year then ended are summarized as follows (in thousands):

     The remaining restructuring reserves at December 31, 2007 relate to future rent expense for vacated facilities, net of sublease income and severance payments to terminated employees. We expect to make future cash expenditures, net of anticipated sublease income, related to these restructuring activities of approximately $9.2 million, of which we anticipate to pay approximately $3.0 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 taking into consideration the applicable statue of limitations.

Each participant in the 401(k) plan may elect to contribute from 1% to 50% of his or her annual compensation to the plan up to limits placed by U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We, at management’s discretion, may make matching contributions to the plan. Our matching contributions to the plan charged to expense for 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $0.5 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
13.   Commitments, Contingencies and Debt Obligations
  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 $5.9 million, $8.3 million, and $10.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     In connection with the lease on our former corporate offices, we issued to our landlord standby letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $3.3 million to guarantee certain obligations under the lease agreement. The amount that we are required to maintain under the standby letter of credit decreases as our future obligations under the lease agreement decline. At December 31, 2007, there were no drawings outstanding under the letter of credit.

     In August 2007, we completed the purchase of our corporate headquarters for $8.0 million of which we paid $2.8 million in cash and assumed a $5.2 million note payable. The note payable has monthly installments of $40,000 including a fixed interest of 7.61% with a balloon payment of approximately $5.0 million due on February 1, 2011. The note is secured by the property and a security deposit of $0.6 million.
     In May 2006, we received $2.5 million for computer equipment and software in a sale-leaseback transaction. In accordance with SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases”, we accounted for this lease as a capital lease. The $0.2 million gain resulting from the transaction was deferred and is being amortized to depreciation expense over the life of the lease.
     Property and equipment as of December 31, 2007 included computer equipment under capital leases with original cost and accumulated amortization of approximately $10.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Property and equipment as of December 31, 2006 included computer equipment under capital leases with original cost and accumulated amortization of approximately $10.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

We also indemnify our customers for certain matters, including third party claims of intellectual property infringement relating to the use of our products. 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 were no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2007.
  Litigation
     There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we, or any of our subsidiaries is a party or which their property is subject.

     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 our historical losses and 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. If we continue to sustain profitability during 2008, we may release all or a portion of the valuation allowance as early as the later half of 2008.
     At December 31, 2007, we had domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $230.4 million, $72.3 million and $7.0 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, 2007 included $201.3 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.
     In 2004, we acquired X-Net Associates, Inc. and Mosaic Software Holdings Limited 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

Table of Contents

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 2007, we reduced goodwill by $0.2 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.
     We are 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. We are 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, we believe that our tax reserves reflect the probable outcome of known contingencies.
     We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no cumulative effect adjustment. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $13.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, none of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. At December 31, 2007, we had $11.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits of which $2.1 million was reflected as a non-current liability. Due to the release of the valuation allowance associated with a portion of these unrecognized tax benefits, a $1.8 million non-current deferred tax asset was also reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2007. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for 2007 is as follows (in thousands):
         
    2007  
Beginning Balance
  $ 13,209  
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year
     
Additions for tax positions of prior years
     
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
    (1,725 )
Settlements
    (99 )
 
     
Ending Balance
  $ 11,385  
 
     
     We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were immaterial.
     We do not expect any significant increases in the unrecognized tax benefit within twelve months of the reporting date. During the year ended December 31, 2007, unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $1.7 million due to the expiration of federal and state statue of limitations and $0.1 million due to settlements with the taxing authorities. Within twelve months of the reporting date, we expect that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $2.0 million due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in various jurisdictions.
     The tax years 2004, 2005 and 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. In addition, net operating loss carryforwards from the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 are subject to examination because these loss years intervene with the open years 2004, 2005 and 2006.
15. 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. At December 31, 2007, we had 383,659 shares available for future grants under the plans and our stock option plans provide for the issuance of 6,657,040

shares of common stock if all outstanding options and available grants were exercised. Awards that are settled in cash do not count against the maximum limit of shares in these plans.

We recognize compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The total fair value of shares vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $3.9 million, $7.0 million and $13.1 million, respectively. For stock options granted where the exercise price equaled the market price of the stock on the date of grant the per share weighted-average fair value was $2.55, $2.75 and $2.35 for stock options granted during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For stock options granted where the exercise price equaled the market price of the stock on the date of grant, the per share weighted-average exercise price was $6.27, $4.79, and $4.36 for stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

16. 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, 2007, there were 749,064 shares of series B convertible preferred stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2007, the 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 for future issuance is subject to adjustment.
17. Equity Transactions
          On September 29, 2006, we retired 4,053,886 shares of our common stock held in treasury. 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 our common stock. This tender offer authorized the purchase of up to $55.0 million of our common stock subject to pre-defined purchase guidelines. In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we repurchased and retired 10.5 million shares at an approximate cost of $5.32 per share. The total cost to repurchase the stock, including related transaction costs, was $55.8 million.
          On March 12, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to $55.0 million of our common stock. The tender offer was completed in April 2007. We repurchased and retired a total of 16,155 shares for a cost of $0.6 million.
          On May 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we could repurchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock from time to time in open market and privately negotiated transactions as market and business conditions warrant. On August 8, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $20.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. On December 12, 2007, our Board of Directors

80


Table of Contents

authorized the repurchase of an additional $10.0 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase program, bringing the total authorization to $60.0 million. There is no expiration date for this program. Stock repurchases and retirements for the program since inception in May 2007 were 6.6 million shares for a total cost of $50.3 million which does not include related transaction fees of approximately $0.02 per share.
18. Segment Reporting, Geographic Disclosures and Major Customers
          We operate and manage our business in two segments: Enterprise and Postilion. The Enterprise segment represents our global banking and insurance business, primarily targeting larger financial institutions, and includes our business with State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”). The Postilion segment represents the community financial, full service banking and lending businesses, and global ATM/payments business.
          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, 2007, 2006 and 2005. We do not use any asset-based metrics to measure the operating performance of our segments.

19. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
          We calculate earnings per share by allocating income between common stock and participating securities during periods which we record income from continuing operations. For periods which we record a loss from continuing operations, we calculate net loss per share as the net loss during the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as the effect of applying the two-class method would be anti-dilutive.
          Net income has been allocated to the common and convertible 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 749,064 shares of series B preferred stock that converts to 1,070,000 shares of common 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, restricted stock, or other rights to issue common stock were exercised and resulted in additional shares of common stock outstanding that would share in our earnings.

Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
          Not Applicable.
Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures.
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of December 31, 2007, 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, 2007, 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. 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.
     Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. 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, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
     The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP relating to the consolidated financial statements, financial statement schedule, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting is stated in their report which appears herein.
