TRANSACTION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Consolidated Financial Statements The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 1997 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all domestic and foreign subsidiaries which are more than 50% owned and controlled. Investments in companies less than 20% owned are carried at cost. 2. Net Income Per Common and Equivalent Share Net income per common and common equivalent share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method. In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128), which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires retroactive restatement of prior periods earnings per share. The statement replaces the "primary earnings per share" calculation with a "basic earnings per share" and redefines the "dilutive earnings per share" computation. Adoption of the statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's reported income per share. 3. Stock Split On June 7, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to be distributed on July 1, 1996 to shareholders of record on June 17, 1996. All references in the condensed consolidated financial statements to number of shares and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock split. 4. Acquisitions On May 13, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Regency Voice Systems, Inc. and related entities (RVS). RVS develops, markets and supports financial software products and related services including interactive voice response and PC-banking products for financial institutions. Owners of RVS received 1,615,383 shares of TSA Class A Common Stock in exchange for 100% of RVS's outstanding securities. The exchange was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The accompanying historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the results of operations of RVS. RVS was taxed primarily as a Partnership and, accordingly, taxable income was included in the personal tax of RVS owners who were responsible for the payment of taxes thereof. Pro forma net income and net income per common and equivalent share on the accompanying condensed statement of operations reflects a pro forma tax provision for combined federal and state income taxes to report income taxes on the basis of which they will be reported in future periods. On October 8, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Open Systems Solutions, Inc. (OSSI). Stockholders of OSSI received 209,993 shares of TSA Class A Common Stock in exchange for 100% of OSSI's common stock. The stock exchange was accounted for as a pooling of interests. OSSI's results of operations prior to the acquisition were not material and the condensed consolidated financial statements have not been restated to reflect this acquisition. 5. Investment and Notes Receivable In January 1996, the Company entered into a transaction with Insession, Inc. (Insession) whereby the Company acquired a 7.5% minority interest in Insession for $1.5 million. In addition, since January 1996, the Company loaned Insession $5.0 million under promissory notes of which Insession repaid the Company $500,000 in June 1997. The promissory notes bear an interest rate of prime plus 0.25%, and are payable in January 1999 ($1.0 million), January 2000 ($1.0 million) and January 2001 ($1.5 million). The remaining $1.0 million of promissory notes are payable upon demand. The promissory notes are secured by future royalties owed by the Company to Insession. In March 1997, the Company revised the terms of the line of credit and purchase option agreement it has with U.S. Processing, Inc. (USPI). Under the terms of the revised agreement, the Company received $3.6 million as repayment of advances made under the previous line of credit. In addition, the Company converted $1.0 million of prior advances under the line of credit into a 19.9% ownership interest in USPI. The revised line of credit provides USPI with the ability to borrow $4.5 million from the Company. As of June 30, 1997, borrowings under the revised line of credit totaled $825,000.

Results of Operations (continued) Revenues Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 28.7% or $12.3 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Of this increase, $9.6 million of the growth resulted from a 44.7% increase in software license fee revenue, $1.2 million from a 10.6% increase in services revenue and $1.6 million from a 17.1% increase in maintenance fee revenue. Total revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 increased 33.4% or $39.7 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Of this increase, $29.4 million of the growth resulted from a 49.0% increase in software license fee revenue, $6.3 million from a 21.5% increase in services revenue and $5.0 million from a 19.2% increase in maintenance fee revenue. The growth in software license fee revenue is the result of increased demand for the Company's BASE24 products and continued growth of the installed base of customers paying monthly license fee (MLF) revenue. Contributing to the strong demand for the Company's products is the continued world-wide growth of electronic payment transaction volume and the growing complexity of electronic payment systems. MLF revenue was $8.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. MLF revenue was $23.7 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 compared to $16.0 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. The growth in services revenue for both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 1997 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 third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 1997 is a result of the continued growth of the installed base of the Company's BASE24 products. Expenses Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 23.6% or $8.7 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Total operating expenses for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 increased 28.4% or $29.2 million over the comparable period in fiscal 1996. The primary reason for the overall increase in operating expenses is the increase in staff required to support the increased demand for the Company's products and services. Total staff (including both employees and independent contractors) increased from 1,224 at June 30, 1996 to 1,508 at June 30, 1997. The Company's operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 17.5% as compared to 14.1% for the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Operating margin for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 was 16.7% as compared to 13.4% for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. These improvements are primarily due to the impact of the growth in the Company's recurring revenues (MLF's, maintenance and facilities management fees) and the conclusion in December 1996 of the software amortization associated with the acquisition of Applied Communications, Inc. (ACI) and Applied Communications Inc. Limited (ACIL) in December 1993. The Company's gross margin (total revenues minus cost of software and cost of maintenance and services) for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 64.6% as compared to 60.3% for the comparable period in fiscal 1996. The gross margin for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 was 63.9% as compared to 61.2% for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. The improvements are principally due to the conclusion of software amortization associated with the acquisitions of Applied Communications, Inc. and Applied Communications Inc Limited. EBITDA The Company's earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased from $8.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $11.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. EBITDA was $33.7 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 as compared to $23.2 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. The increase in EBITDA can be attributed to the continued growth in both recurring and non-recurring revenues more than offsetting the growth in operating expenses. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the periods. Results of Operations (continued) Pro Forma Income Taxes RVS was taxed primarily as a Partnership and accordingly taxable income was included in the personal tax of RVS owners who were responsible for the payment of taxes thereof. Pro forma net income reflects a pro forma tax provision for combined federal and state income taxes to report income taxes on the basis of which they will be reported in future periods. The effective pro forma tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was 37.4% as compared to 42.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The effective pro forma tax rate for the first three quarters of fiscal 1997 was 40.6% as compared to 40.3% for the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. The change in the effective pro forma tax rate is principally the result of the amount of deferred tax assets which were recognized in the first three quarters of 1997 as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 1996. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has deferred tax assets of $21.9 million and deferred tax liabilities of $0.6million. 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 $5.6 million of the deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $16.3 million as of June 30, 1997. The Company intends to analyze the realizability of the net deferred tax assets at each future reporting period. Such analysis may indicate that the realization of various deferred tax benefits is more likely than not and, therefore, the valuation reserve may be reduced. Backlog - ------- As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had non-recurring revenue backlog of $25.5 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in software license fees and $16.9 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in services. 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had recurring revenue backlog of $86.6 million and $65.0 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- As of June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $56.5 million which includes cash and cash equivalents of $42.6 million. The Company has a $10 million bank line of credit of which there are no borrowings outstanding. The bank line of credit currently expires on August 31, 1997 and is expected to be renewed through June 1998. During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cash flow from operations amounted to $20.9 million and cash used in investing activities amounted to $11.3 million. Of the $11.3 of cash used in investing activities, $1.0 million consisted of advances to Insession under promissory notes and $2.9 consisted of advances to USPI under a line of credit. Insession repaid advances of $500,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and USPI repaid advances of $3.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 1997. In the normal course of business, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies. In October 1996, the Company acquired 100% of OSSI in exchange for 209,993 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. In May 1997, the Company acquired 100% of RVS in exchange for 1,615,383 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. 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.
