NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited) 

1. Throughout this report, the terms “we”, “us”, “ours”, “ISC” and “company” refer to Intelligent Systems Corporation, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ISC management, these Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which comprise only normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

2. Sale of Subsidiary; Discontinued Operations – On March 31, 2015, we and CRC Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“CRC”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) whereby we sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, ChemFree Corporation (“ChemFree”), to CRC (the “ChemFree Sale”). The purchase price for the all-cash sale was $21,600,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital adjustment. The company retained all net cash of ChemFree as of the closing date. In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the company recorded a gain on the sale of ChemFree of $18,746,000 and has retroactively classified the ChemFree operations as discontinued operations in all periods presented. The company intends to apply operating loss and capital loss carryforwards against the gain of sale and presently expects to incur an alternative minimum tax liability of approximately $181,000 on the transaction, which amount is included in liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2015. At the closing, a total of $3,300,000 of the purchase price was placed in escrow for purposes of securing our obligations to indemnify CRC and to refund a portion of the purchase price if ChemFree’s actual working capital amount on the closing date is less than the agreed upon target set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the initial post-closing working capital determination, we accrued $200,000 for a working capital adjustment, which amount was reflected in the gain on sale calculation reported in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015. In the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we expensed an additional $20,000 for the final working capital adjustment. In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, $880,000 that had been held as Restricted Cash – Current Portion related to the escrow was released to the company. The remaining escrow balance of $2,200,000, which will remain in escrow until September 30, 2016, is shown as Restricted Cash – Noncurrent Portion.

The following condensed financial information is provided for the ChemFree discontinued operations for the periods shown:

Total liabilities of discontinued operations	$	181	$	838

3. Tender Offer Stock Repurchase - On April 22, 2015, we commenced a modified “Dutch” auction style tender offer to purchase for cash shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of no more than $5 million. The tender offer expired May 19, 2015. We accepted for tender 230,729shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $3.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $692,187. Shares repurchased were cancelled, resulting in a decline in the number of outstanding shares at September 30, 2015.

4. Stock-based Compensation - At September 30, 2015, we have three stock–based compensation plans in effect. We record compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense is recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. We recorded $5,000 and $14,000 of stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $13,000 and $44,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The estimated fair value of options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as previously disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K/A.

As of September 30, 2015, there is $28,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, an aggregate of 12,000 options were granted to three independent members of our board of directors pursuant to the 2011 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (Director Plan). Pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan, the options were granted at fair value on the date of the Annual Shareholders meeting. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, 4,000 options were exercised and 12,000 options expired unexercised.

The following table summarizes stock options as of September 30, 2015:

	# of Shares		Wgt Avg Exercise Price		Wgt Avg Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at September 30, 2015		274,500	$	1.76		5.8	$	329,280
Vested and exercisable at September 30, 2015		254,500	$	1.72		5.5	$	316,880

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of 2015 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2015. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair value of the company’s stock.

Page 8

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other financial instruments (such as short-term borrowings, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates their fair value principally due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, marketable securities, and trade accounts. Our available cash is held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions. Cash may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. While we monitor cash balances on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

6. Fair Value Measurements - In determining fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets.  GAAP establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value, and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are based on data obtained from sources independent of the company that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the company’s assumptions about the estimates market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. 

The hierarchy is measured in three levels based on the reliability of inputs:

• Level 1

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

• Level 2

Valuations based on quoted prices in less active, dealer or broker markets.  Fair values are primarily obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

• Level 3

Valuations derived from other valuation methodologies, including pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market, exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions.  Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections that are not observable in the market and significant professional judgment is needed in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Our available-for-sale investments are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of equity method and cost method investments has not been determined as it was impracticable to do so due to the fact that the investee companies are relatively small, early stage private companies for which there is no comparable valuation data available without unreasonable time and expense.

7. Inventories – Following the sale of our former ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015, we no longer have any inventory.

8. Concentration of Revenue – In the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the two largest customers represented in aggregate 46 percent and 42 percent of consolidated revenue, respectively. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the two largest customers represented in aggregate 44 percent and 49 percent of consolidated revenue, respectively. Most of our customers have multi-year contracts with recurring minimum revenue as well as professional services fees, that vary by period depending on their business needs.

Page 9

9. Commitments and Contingencies – Please refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K/A for a description of our commitments and contingencies in addition to those disclosed herein. Effective April 1, 2015, we entered into a new lease for our U.S. operations. Accordingly, our future minimum lease payments for offices and data centers expiring at various dates through March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Year ended December 31,
(in thousands)
2015 (October 1 – December 31)	$	68
2016		198
2017		158
2018		34
Total minimum lease payments	$	458

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time we may be involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.

10. Industry Segment – Following the sale of our ChemFree subsidiary, management considers our remaining subsidiaries, consisting of CoreCard and its affiliate companies, to be one operating segment. Historically, we have described this industry segment as Information Technology Products and Services but as our company and the financial software and services industries have evolved, we now consider the financial transaction solutions and services (“FinTech”) industry segment to be more appropriate.

11. Income Taxes – We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of a valuation allowance, for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when, and if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the periods presented. We have determined we have no uncertain tax positions.

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for all subsidiaries in which our ownership equals or exceeds 80%, as well as individual subsidiary returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2011.

12. Reclassification – Certain prior year numbers related to the ChemFree subsidiary have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-8, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This guidance states that the disposal of a component of an entity is to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The pronouncement also requires additional disclosures regarding individually significant disposals of components that do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a discontinued operations as well as additional and expanded disclosures. ASU 2014-8 was effective for periods after December 15, 2014 and accordingly, we have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein in accordance with this ASU.

We have considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and do not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

14. Subsequent Event – On October 28, 2015, Lancope, Inc., a technology company in which we hold a less than 1 percent equity interest, announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Cisco in a cash transaction valued at approximately $452 million. The transaction is scheduled to close within 90 days, subject to customary closing conditions including escrow provisions. At September 30, 2015, our carrying value for Lancope was $214,000. Based on preliminary information provided to us, if and when the transaction is completed, we would receive between $2.2 million and $2.5 million in total compensation. There can be no assurance, however, that the transaction will be concluded on the terms announced, or that it will be concluded at all. We are not aware of any other significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

For purposes of this discussion and analysis, we are assuming and relying upon the reader’s familiarity with the information contained in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview 

The results reported reflect the effect of the sale of ChemFree subsidiary on March 31, 2015, as explained in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We have retroactively classified the ChemFree operations as discontinued operations in all periods presented. Our consolidated continuing operations consist primarily of the CoreCard Software subsidiary and its affiliate companies in Romania and India, as well as the corporate office which provides significant administrative, human resources and executive management support to CoreCard. Since the ChemFree subsidiary was our largest and most profitable operating company, our reported results for continuing operations will reflect significantly lower revenue and operating losses in the near-term.

CoreCard provides technology solutions and processing services to the financial services market, commonly referred to as the FinTech industry. We derive our product revenue from licensing our comprehensive suite of financial transaction management software to accounts receivable businesses, financial institutions, retailers and processors to manage their credit and debit cards, prepaid cards, private label cards, fleet cards, loyalty programs, and accounts receivable and small loan transactions. Our service revenue consists of fees for software maintenance and support for licensed software products, fees for processing services that we provide to companies that outsource their financial transaction processing functions to CoreCard, and professional services primarily for software customizations provided to both license and processing customers.

We have frequently recognized consolidated operating losses on a quarterly and annual basis and are likely to do so in the foreseeable future. CoreCard may report operating profits on an irregular basis and its results vary in part depending on the size and number of software licenses recognized in a particular period and the level of expenses incurred to support existing customers and development and sales activities. A significant portion of CoreCard’s expense is related to personnel, including approximately 200 employees located in India and Romania. In addition, CoreCard offers processing services as an alternative for customers who prefer to outsource this function instead of licensing our software and running the application in-house. We are likely to incur losses in the near future for the processing business because contract revenue is spread out over multi-year contracts while we are currently investing in the infrastructure, resources, processes and software features to support this developing business. In addition, we have certain corporate office expenses associated with being a public company that impact our operating results.

Our revenue fluctuates from period to period and our results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. It is difficult to predict the level of consolidated revenue on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, including the following:

● Software license revenue in a given period may consist of a relatively small number of contracts and contract values can vary considerably depending on the software product and scope of the license sold. Consequently, even minor delays in delivery under a software contract (which may be out of our control) could have a significant and unpredictable impact on the consolidated revenue that we recognize in a given quarterly or annual period.

● Customers may decide to postpone or cancel a planned implementation of our software for any number of reasons, which may be unrelated to our software or contract performance, but which may affect the amount, timing and characterization of our deferred and/or recognized revenue.

● Customers typically require our professional services to modify or enhance their CoreCard software implementation based on their specific business strategy and operational requirements, which vary from customer to customer and period to period.

● The timing of new processing customer implementations is often dependent on third party approvals or processes which are typically not under our direct control.

The recent sale of the ChemFree operations has resulted in significant cash balances. We used $692,000 to repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to a modified “Dutch” auction tender that ended on May 19, 2015. We intend to use cash balances to support the domestic and international operations associated with our CoreCard business and to expand our operations in the FinTech industry through financing the growth of CoreCard and, if appropriate opportunities become available, through acquisitions of businesses in this industry.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this quarterly report. The results for 2014 have been reclassified to reflect the former ChemFree subsidiary as a discontinued operation.

Revenue – Total revenue from continuing operations in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 was $1,232,000 and $3,509,000, respectively, which represent increases of 11 percent and 10 percent compared to the respective periods in 2014.     

● Revenue from products, which includes software license fees (and, in some cases monthly support fees when the license and support fees are bundled) was $139,000 and $413,000 in the three and nine month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 2015, compared to $172,000 and $439,000 in the same periods in 2014. Changes between periods generally reflect the timing of tier upgrade fees related to the number of accounts covered by certain software licenses.

● Revenue from services was $1,093,000 and $3,096,000 in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, which represent an increase of 17 percent and 13 percent compared to the respective periods in 2014. Revenue from transaction processing services and professional services were both higher in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 due to an increase in the number of customers and accounts on file for processing operations and more revenue was generated from professional services due to an increase in the number and value of professional services contracts completed in 2015. Maintenance revenue from annual contracts for technical and software support was higher in the third quarter of 2015 than in the same period last year. However, year-to-date maintenance revenue was lower in 2015 than in the corresponding period in 2014, due to the expiration of a contract in the second quarter of 2014. As expected, revenue from processing services continues to grow as CoreCard’s customer base increases; however, the time required to implement new customer programs has taken longer than anticipated due to delays in third party integration and approval processes. It is not possible to predict with any accuracy the number and value of professional services contracts that CoreCard’s customers will require in a given period. Customers typically request our professional services to modify or enhance their CoreCard software implementation based on their specific business strategy and operational requirements, which vary from customer to customer and period to period.

Cost of Revenue – Total cost of revenue was 53 percent and 55 percent of total revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to 49 percent in both of the corresponding periods in 2014.

● Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 40 percent in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 38 percent and 44 percent for the corresponding periods in 2014. Generally, the changes between periods are immaterial in amount and reflect the number of resources required to support our licensed customers, which may vary depending upon numerous factors such as the mix of new versus established customers.

● Cost of service revenue as a percentage of total service revenue was 55 percent and 57 percent in the third quarter and year-to-date periods in 2015 compared to 51 percent and 50 percent in the corresponding periods in 2014. Cost of service revenue includes three components: costs to provide annual maintenance and support services to our installed base of licensed customers, costs to provide professional services, and costs to provide our financial transaction processing services. The cost and gross margins on such services can vary considerably from period to period depending on the customer mix, customer requirements and project complexity as well as the mix of our U.S. and offshore employees working on the various aspects of services provided. In addition, we continue to devote the resources necessary to support our developing processing business, including direct costs for regulatory compliance, infrastructure, network certifications, and customer support and currently expect these costs to continue to outpace processing revenue for the foreseeable future.

Page 12

Operating Expenses – In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, total operating expenses from continuing operations were higher than in the corresponding periods in 2014. General and administrative expenses were significantly higher in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2015 than in the corresponding periods in 2014, mainly due to factors related to the sale of the ChemFree subsidiary. In 2014 a significant component of corporate G&A expenses was charged to our former ChemFree subsidiary for services provided by the corporate office to ChemFree and is included in the line item Income/Loss from Discontinued Operation. Following the sale of ChemFree in March 2015, corporate activities and resources (and the associated expense) have been re-focused on our continuing operations, primarily the CoreCard business and strategic initiatives, resulting in higher G&A expenses for continuing operations in 2015. In addition, the increase in G&A expenses for year-to-date 2015 includes bonuses paid following the ChemFree sale as well as transaction expenses for the tender offer. Research and development expenses were 14 percent lower in the third quarter of 2015 and 13 percent lower year-to-date 2015 compared to the corresponding periods last year, mainly due to more technical personnel expenses being charged to direct cost of services for maintenance, professional services and processing.

Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations – As explained in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we recorded a gain of $18,726,000 on the sale of our ChemFree subsidiary in the year-to-date period of 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balance at September 30, 2015 was $18,580,000 compared to $2,624,000 at December 31, 2014. The principal source of cash during the period was the sale of the ChemFree subsidiary which generated cash proceeds of $18,202,000 on the closing of the transaction. In addition, a total of $3,300,000 of the sale price was placed in escrow for purposes of securing our obligations to indemnify the buyer and to refund a portion of the purchase price if ChemFree’s actual working capital amount on the closing date is less than the agreed upon target working capital. As of September 30, 2015, $880,000 of the escrow funds has been released to us and is included in the cash balance at quarter end. The remaining escrow balance of $2,200,000 will remain in escrow until September 30, 2016 and is recorded as Restricted Cash – Noncurrent Portion as of September 30, 2015.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, continuing operations used $1,758,000 cash for operations of the CoreCard business and corporate office as well as payment of bonuses related to the sale of the ChemFree subsidiary. The most significant working capital changes since December 31, 2014 include an increase in accounts receivable of $462,000 due to higher billings in the third quarter of 2015 as well as an increase in deferred revenue of $812,000 due to milestone billings for in-process contracts and deposits for professional services, which are not yet recognizable for GAAP reporting. We also used $248,000 cash to acquire computer equipment for our processing data center and to upgrade office equipment for technical resources. In addition, we used $80,000 for long-term investments and $150,000 for a short-term secured loan to an investee company.

As explained in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 22, 2015, we initiated a modified “Dutch” auction tender offer to purchase for cash shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $5.0 million. Upon completion of the tender offer, we purchased and retired 230,729 shares, using $692,000 of the proceeds from the ChemFree sale.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, discontinued operations generated $18,878,000 net cash, principally from the sale of ChemFree discussed above.

We renewed our line of credit in June 2014 with a maximum principal availability of $1.25 million based on qualified receivables; however, we have not borrowed under the bank line of credit in the past five years. The line of credit expires June 30, 2016, subject to the bank renewing the line for an additional period.

We expect to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand as well as projected customer payments at CoreCard to support our operations and capital equipment purchases in the foreseeable future. As explained in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we could receive between $2.2 million and $2.5 million in total compensation if the sale of Lancope is concluded on the terms announced, which would increase our short-term liquidity. Given our current cash on hand, we are not relying or dependent upon this transaction to meet our foreseeable cash needs. Currently we expect to use cash in excess of what is required for our current CoreCard operations for opportunities we believe will expand our CoreCard and FinTech business, although there can be no assurance that appropriate opportunities will arise.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Page 13

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of intangibles, valuation of investments and accrued expenses to be critical policies due to the estimation processes involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for 2014. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, there were no significant or material changes in the application of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the Form 10-K/A for 2014.

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

Future operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may negatively impact our future results of operations or projected cash requirements. It is difficult to predict future quarterly and annual results with certainty. Any trend or delay that affects our CoreCard subsidiary could have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash requirements on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, the carrying value of our investments is impacted by a number of factors which are generally beyond our control since we are typically a non-control shareholder in a private company with limited liquidity.

Among the numerous factors that may affect our consolidated results of operations or financial condition are the following:

● As an alternative to licensing its software, CoreCard also offers processing services running on the CoreCard software system. There are numerous risks associated with entering any new line of business and if CoreCard fails to manage the risks associated with its processing operations, it could have a negative impact on our business.

● Stricter regulations and reluctance by financial institutions to act as sponsor banks for prospective customers (such as issuers and processors of credit and prepaid cards) could negatively impact the processing services business and increase CoreCard’s losses and cash requirements.

● Delays in software development projects could cause our customers to delay implementations or delay payments, which would increase our costs and reduce our revenue.

● Our CoreCard subsidiary could fail to deliver software products which meet the business and technology requirements of its target markets within a reasonable time frame and at a price point that supports a profitable, sustainable business model.

● CoreCard’s processing business is impacted, directly or indirectly, by more regulations than its licensed software business. If the company fails to provide services that comply with (or allow its customers to comply with) applicable regulations or processing standards, it could be subject to financial or other penalties that could negatively impact its business.

● Software errors or poor quality control may delay product releases, increase our costs, result in non-acceptance of our software by customers or delay revenue recognition.

● CoreCard could fail to retain key software developers and managers who have accumulated years of know-how in our target markets and company products, or fail to attract and train a sufficient number of new software developers and testers to support our product development plans and customer requirements at projected cost levels.

● Increasing and changing government regulations in the United States and foreign countries related to such issues as data privacy, financial and credit transactions could require changes to our products and services which would increase our costs and could affect our existing customer relationships or prevent us from getting new customers.

● Delays in anticipated customer payments for any reason would increase our cash requirements.

● Competitive pressures (including pricing, changes in customer requirements and preferences, and competitor product offerings) may cause prospective customers to choose an alternative product solution, resulting in lower revenue and profits (or increased losses).

● Declines in performance, financial condition or valuation of minority-owned companies could cause us to write-down the carrying value of our investment or postpone an anticipated liquidity event, which could negatively impact our earnings and cash.

● Our long-term future capital needs are uncertain and depend on a number of factors; additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

● Other general economic and political conditions could cause customers to delay or cancel purchases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s management, including the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]

2. Sale of Subsidiary; Discontinued Operations – On March 31, 2015, we and CRC Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“CRC”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) whereby we sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, ChemFree Corporation (“ChemFree”), to CRC (the “ChemFree Sale”). The purchase price for the all-cash sale was $21,600,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital adjustment. The company retained all net cash of ChemFree as of the closing date. In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the company recorded a gain on the sale of ChemFree of $18,746,000 and has retroactively classified the ChemFree operations as discontinued operations in all periods presented. The company intends to apply operating loss and capital loss carryforwards against the gain of sale and presently expects to incur an alternative minimum tax liability of approximately $181,000 on the transaction, which amount is included in liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2015. At the closing, a total of $3,300,000 of the purchase price was placed in escrow for purposes of securing our obligations to indemnify CRC and to refund a portion of the purchase price if ChemFree’s actual working capital amount on the closing date is less than the agreed upon target set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the initial post-closing working capital determination, we accrued $200,000 for a working capital adjustment, which amount was reflected in the gain on sale calculation reported in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015. In the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we expensed an additional $20,000 for the final working capital adjustment. In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, $880,000 that had been held as Restricted Cash – Current Portion related to the escrow was released to the company. The remaining escrow balance of $2,200,000, which will remain in escrow until September 30, 2016, is shown as Restricted Cash – Noncurrent Portion.

The following condensed financial information is provided for the ChemFree discontinued operations for the periods shown:

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

11. Income Taxes – We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of a valuation allowance, for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when, and if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the periods presented. We have determined we have no uncertain tax positions.

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for all subsidiaries in which our ownership equals or exceeds 80%, as well as individual subsidiary returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2011.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2015

Notes to Financial Statements

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

6. Fair Value Measurements - In determining fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets.  GAAP establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value, and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are based on data obtained from sources independent of the company that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the company’s assumptions about the estimates market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. 

The hierarchy is measured in three levels based on the reliability of inputs:

• Level 1

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

• Level 2

Valuations based on quoted prices in less active, dealer or broker markets.  Fair values are primarily obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

• Level 3

Valuations derived from other valuation methodologies, including pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market, exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions.  Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections that are not observable in the market and significant professional judgment is needed in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Our available-for-sale investments are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair value of equity method and cost method investments has not been determined as it was impracticable to do so due to the fact that the investee companies are relatively small, early stage private companies for which there is no comparable valuation data available without unreasonable time and expense.

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value, Option [Text Block]

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other financial instruments (such as short-term borrowings, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates their fair value principally due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, marketable securities, and trade accounts. Our available cash is held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions. Cash may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance limits. While we monitor cash balances on a regular basis and adjust the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our cash will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements –  In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-8, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . This guidance states that the disposal of a component of an entity is to be reported in discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The pronouncement also requires additional disclosures regarding individually significant disposals of components that do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a discontinued operations as well as additional and expanded disclosures. ASU 2014-8 was effective for periods after December 15, 2014 and accordingly, we have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein in accordance with this ASU.

We have considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and do not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

10. Industry Segment – Following the sale of our ChemFree subsidiary, management considers our remaining subsidiaries, consisting of CoreCard and its affiliate companies, to be one operating segment. Historically, we have described this industry segment as Information Technology Products and Services but as our company and the financial software and services industries have evolved, we now consider the financial transaction solutions and services (“FinTech”) industry segment to be more appropriate.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

4. Stock-based Compensation - At September 30, 2015, we have three stock–based compensation plans in effect. We record compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. We have estimated forfeiture rates based on our historical experience. Stock option compensation expense is recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. We recorded $5,000 and $14,000 of stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $13,000 and $44,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The estimated fair value of options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as previously disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K/A.

As of September 30, 2015, there is $28,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, an aggregate of 12,000 options were granted to three independent members of our board of directors pursuant to the 2011 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (Director Plan). Pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan, the options were granted at fair value on the date of the Annual Shareholders meeting. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, 4,000 options were exercised and 12,000 options expired unexercised.

The following table summarizes stock options as of September 30, 2015:

	# of Shares		Wgt Avg Exercise Price		Wgt Avg Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at September 30, 2015		274,500	$	1.76		5.8	$	329,280
Vested and exercisable at September 30, 2015		254,500	$	1.72		5.5	$	316,880

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of 2015 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2015. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair value of the company’s stock.

Subsequent Events [Text Block]

14. Subsequent Event – On October 28, 2015, Lancope, Inc., a technology company in which we hold a less than 1 percent equity interest, announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Cisco in a cash transaction valued at approximately $452 million. The transaction is scheduled to close within 90 days, subject to customary closing conditions including escrow provisions. At September 30, 2015, our carrying value for Lancope was $214,000. Based on preliminary information provided to us, if and when the transaction is completed, we would receive between $2.2 million and $2.5 million in total compensation. There can be no assurance, however, that the transaction will be concluded on the terms announced, or that it will be concluded at all. We are not aware of any other significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
