See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 6 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. GENERAL Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. (TSA or the Company) was formed on November 2, 1993 for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Applied Communications, Inc. (ACI) and Applied Communications Inc Limited (ACIL). The Company did not have substantive operations prior to the acquisition of ACI and ACIL. On January 3, 1994, the Company acquired U.S. Software, Inc. (USSI). The condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 1996 and for the three and six months then ended are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. 2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON AND EQUIVALENT SHARE Net income (loss) per common and equivalent share is based on the weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares include Redeemable Preferred Stock and Redeemable Convertible Class B Common Stock and Warrants. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, all shares and options issued since inception (November 2, 1993) have been treated as if they were outstanding for all periods prior to December 31, 1994, including periods in which the effect is antidillutive. For periods subsequent to December 31, 1994, net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method. 3. PUBLIC OFFERINGS The Company completed an initial public offering in March 1995. The Company sold 2,412,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $15 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, of approximately $32.3 million. In August 1995, the Company completed the issuance of an additional 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock through a public offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, of approximately $22.4 million. The Company used a portion of the March 1995 initial public offering proceeds to repay all outstanding bank indebtedness. 4. ACQUISITION On October 2, 1995, the Company acquired the capital stock of M.R. GmbH, a German software company, for $3.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed with existing cash and future payments to the sellers. The long-term debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet consists of future payments payable to the former owners of M.R. GmbH. The debt is non-interest bearing and is payable in installments of $745,000 in December 1996, $745,000 in December 1997 and $367,000 in December 1998. 7 5. INVESTMENT AND NOTES RECEIVABLE In January 1996, the Company entered into a transaction with Insession, Inc. (Insession) whereby the Company loaned Insession $3.5 million under a promissory note and acquired a 7.5% minority interest in Insession for $1.5 million. The promissory note bears an interest rate of prime plus 0.25% and is payable in January 1999 ($1.0 million), January 2000 ($1.0 million) and January 2001 ($1.5 million) and is secured by future royalties owed by the Company to Insession. The Company has a $2.5 million note receivable from a start-up transaction processing business. The note bears an interest rate of prime plus 1.0% and is payable in quarterly installments of $250,000 commencing in June 1997.

9 REVENUES Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 35.9% or $9.6 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Of this increase, $5.7 million or 43.3% of the growth resulted from increased software license fee revenue, $2.8 million or 51.4% from increased services revenue and $1.1 million or 15.6% from increased maintenance fee revenue. Total revenues for the first half of fiscal 1996 increased 33.9% or $17.9 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Of this increase, $10.3 million or 40.3% of the growth resulted from increased software license fee revenue, $4.6 million or 41.8% from increased services revenue and $2.7 million or 19.4% from increased maintenance fee revenue. The growth in software license fee revenue for both the quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 is the result of increased demand for the Company's BASE24 products and a continued growth of the installed base of customers paying monthly license fee (MLF) revenue. MLF revenue was $5.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. MLF revenue was $9.5 million in the first half of fiscal 1996 compared to $5.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1995. The growth in services revenue for both the quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 is the result of increased demand for technical and project management services which is a direct result of the increased installed base of the Company's BASE24 products. The increase in maintenance fee revenue for both the quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 is a result of the continued growth of the installed base of the Company's BASE24 products. EXPENSES Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 28.8% or $7.1 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Total operating expenses for the first half of fiscal 1996 increased 22.7% or $11.4 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1995. The cost of software for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 28.8% or $1.2 over the comparable quarter of fiscal 1995 principally due to a an increase in software license fee revenue. The cost of software as a percentage of software license fee revenue was 29.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 32.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The decrease as a percentage of software license fee revenue is primarily due to higher MLF revenues and no charge for purchased contracts in progress in fiscal 1996. The cost of software for the first half of fiscal 1996 decreased 6.0% or $0.6 million over the comparable period of fiscal 1995 due to a decrease in the charge for purchased contracts in progress which was offset in part by an increase in software license fee revenue. The cost of software as a percentage of software license fee revenue was 28.0% in the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to 41.8% in the first half of fiscal 1995. The decrease as a percentage of software license fee revenue is primarily due to higher MLF revenues and no charge for purchased contracts In progress in fiscal 1996. The cost of maintenance and services for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 increased 40.2% or $2.5 million and 38.4% or $4.7 million, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 principally due to additional staff needed to support the increased maintenance fee and services revenue. The cost of maintenance and services as a percentage of maintenance and services revenue was 53.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 49.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 52.6% in the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to 49.1% in the first half of fiscal 1995. These increases as a percentage of maintenance and services revenue are primarily due to the higher usage of contract labor which typically is more costly than internal labor costs. Research and development (R&D) costs for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 increased 42.9% or $1.2 million and 42.0% or $2.2 million, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 principally due to increased expenditures on BASE24 and TRANS24 product development efforts. As a percentage of total revenue, R&D costs were 10.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 10.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 10.5% in the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to 9.9% in the first half of fiscal 10 1995. The Company capitalized software development costs of $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, $0.8 million in the first half of fiscal 1996 and $0.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1995. Selling and marketing costs for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 increased 11.2% or $0.8 million and 20.7% or $2.7 million, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 principally due to increased revenues and backlog. As a percentage of total revenue, selling and marketing costs were 20.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 25.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 22.2% in the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to 24.6% in the first half of fiscal 1995. General and administrative costs for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1996 increased 30.9% or $1.4 million and 26.7% or $2.5 million, respectively, over the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 principally due to increased revenues and backlog. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative costs were 16.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to 17.2% in the second quarter of 1995 and 16.5% in the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to 17.5% in the first half of fiscal 1995. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other income and expense consists primarily of interest income derived from short-term investments and interest expense on indebtedness. The growth in interest income is due to the investment of a portion of the public offering proceeds received in March and August of 1995. The decrease in interest expense is due to the repayment of indebtedness out of the proceeds of the Company's March 1995 public offering. INCOME TAXES. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was 40.9% as compared to 53.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 is the result of withholding taxes paid on remittances to the United States for software license fees. These foreign withholding taxes were expensed in fiscal 1995 because, at that time, realization of these taxes as a credit was not assured. As of March 31, 1996, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $11.8 million and deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its historical operating results as well as its projections for the next 24 months to determine the realizability of the deferred tax assets. This analysis indicated that $3.3 of the deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $8.5 million as of March 31, 1996. BACKLOG As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had non-recurring revenue backlog of $18.9 million and $18.8 million in software license fees and $11.1 million and $6.7 million in services, respectively. The Company includes in its non- recurring revenue backlog all fees specified in contracts which have been executed by the Company to the extent that the Company contemplates recognition of the related revenue within one year. There can be no assurance that the contracts included in non-recurring revenue backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the one year period. As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had recurring revenue backlog of $60.1 million and $45.9 million, respectively. The Company defines recurring revenue backlog to be all monthly license fees, maintenance fees and facilities management fees specified in contracts which have been executed by the Company and its customers to the extent that the Company contemplates recognition of the related revenue within one year. There can be no assurance, however, that contracts included in recurring revenue backlog will actually generate the specified revenues. 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $35.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $28.9 million and a $10 million bank line of credit of which there are no borrowings outstanding. The bank line of credit expires in June 1996. During the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's cash flow from operations amounted to $6.7 million and cash used in investing activities amounted to $13.4 million. In the normal course of business, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. On October 2, 1995, the Company acquired the capital stock of a German software company for $3.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method and was financed with existing cash and future payments to the seller. On January 24, 1996, the Company entered into a transaction with Insession, Inc. (Insession) whereby the term of the Company's ICE distribution rights was extended to September 2001. In addition, the Company loaned Insession $3.5 million under a promissory note and acquired a 7.5% minority interest in Insession for $1.5 million. Management believes that the Company's working capital, cash flow generated from operations and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. 12 TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC.
