NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview

Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is a holding company, the principal asset of which is the capital stock of Global Cash Access, Inc. (“GCA”). Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “the Company,” “Holdings,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Holdings together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Holdings was formed on February 4, 2004 for the purpose of holding all of the outstanding capital stock of GCA and to guarantee the obligations under our senior secured credit facilities.

The Company is a provider in the United States and several international jurisdictions of cash access products and data intelligence services and solutions to the gaming industry. Our services and solutions provide gaming establishment patrons access to cash through a variety of methods, including automated teller machine (“ATM”) cash withdrawals, credit card cash access transactions, point-of-sale (“POS”) debit card transactions, check verification and warranty services and money transfers. In addition, the Company also provides products and services that improve credit decision-making, automate cashier operations and enhance patron marketing activities for gaming establishments. These services are provided either directly by GCA or through one of its subsidiaries.

The Company also owns and operates a credit reporting agency for the gaming industry through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Central Credit, LLC (“Central Credit”), which provides credit-information services and credit-reporting history on gaming patrons to various gaming establishments. Central Credit operates in both international and domestic gaming markets.

GCA acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Western Money Systems (“Western Money”) on May 5, 2010 for an aggregate purchase price of $15.4 million. Western Money is a manufacturer of redemption kiosk devices. The results of operations of Western Money, from the acquisition date, are included in Central Credit and other revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Western Money derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of redemption kiosk devices and derives the balance of its revenue from the provision of certain professional services, software licensing and certain other ancillary fees associated with the sale, installation and operation of such redemption kiosk devices.

The Company provides some services in conjunction with other third party companies that are beneficially owned or controlled by First Data Corporation (“First Data”), including TRS Recovery Services, Inc. and Western Union Financial Services, Inc. (“Western Union”). GCA is a money transfer agent for Western Union. Western Union contracts directly with the gaming establishments and provides GCA commissions on Western Union transactions processed by the gaming establishment. These commissions are included as part of Central Credit and other revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

Prior to December 31, 2009, the Company operated a subsidiary Arriva Card, Inc. (“Arriva”) that issued consumer revolving credit accounts. On February 7, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to exit the Arriva business. The Company determined as of July 1, 2009, the results of operations for the Arriva line of business were no longer material and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been included in continuing operations.

Innovative Funds Transfer, LLC (“IFT”), formerly known as QuikPlay, LLC, was a joint venture that was formed on December 6, 2000, and owned 60% by GCA and 40% by International Game Technology (“IGT”). IFT was consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prior to April 19, 2010, at which time GCA and IGT dissolved IFT. The dissolution of IFT did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 10-K”).

Use of Estimates

The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in these financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant accounting estimates incorporated into the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include:

	•		the estimated reserve for warranty expense associated with our check warranty receivables;

	•		the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation;

	•		the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset; and

	•		the estimated cash flows in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 include the accounts of Holdings and its subsidiaries.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Earnings Applicable to Common Stock

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of potential common stock resulting from assumed stock option exercises.

GLOBAL CASH ACCESS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic (1)		65,384		72,182		66,543		75,692
Potential dilution from equity grants (2)(3)		856		1,663		1,643		874


Weighted average common shares outstanding — diluted		66,240		73,845		68,186		76,566


(1)		Included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding — basic are 220 and 470 unvested shares of restricted common stock of Holdings granted in share-based payment transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, that are participating securities because such shares have voting rights as well as the right to participate in dividend distributions made by the Company to its common stockholders.

(2)		The potential dilution excludes the weighted average effect of stock options to acquire 618 and 1,252 and 7,533 and 7,995 shares of common stock of Holdings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because the application of the treasury stock method, as required, makes them anti-dilutive.

(3)		The potential dilution excludes the weighted average effect of shares of time-based shares of restricted common stock of Holdings of 238 and 391 and 477 and 778 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because the application of the treasury stock method, as required, makes them anti-dilutive.

Warranty Receivables

In the check services transactions provided by Central Credit, Central Credit warrants check cashing transactions performed at gaming establishments. If a gaming establishment chooses to have a check warranted, it sends a request to a check warranty service provider, asking whether it will warrant the check. The gaming establishment then pays the patron the check amount and deposits the check. If the check is dishonored by the patron’s bank, the gaming establishment invokes the warranty and the check warranty service provider purchases the check from the gaming establishment for the full check amount and then pursues collection activities on its own. All amounts paid out to the gaming establishment related to these items result in a warranty receivable from the patron. This amount is recorded in other receivables, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. On a monthly basis, Central Credit evaluates the collectibility of the outstanding balances and establishes a reserve for the face amount of the expected losses on these receivables. The warranty expense associated with this reserve is included within cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Warranty receivables that are older than 90 days are fully reserved, and the Company writes off all warranty receivables that are older than one year in age.

A summary of the activity for the check warranty reserve for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Balance at		Additions					Balance at
	Beginning of		Charged to					End of
	Period		Expense		Deductions			Period
Nine months ended September 30, 2010	$	8,595	$	6,688	$	(8,823	)	$	6,460

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, net, settlement receivables and settlement liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of GCA’s borrowings are estimated based on quoted market prices for the same issue or in instances where no market exists the quoted market prices for similar issues with similar terms are used to estimate fair value. The fair values of all other financial instruments, including amounts outstanding under the Bank of America Treasury Services Agreement (“Treasury Services Agreement”), approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.

The following table presents the fair value and carrying value of GCA’s borrowings (amounts in thousands):


	As of September 30, 2010				As of December 31, 2009
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value		Value		Value		Level (1)
Senior secured credit facility	$	96,250	$	96,250	$	97,000	$	97,000		2
Senior subordinated notes	$	128,517	$	127,750	$	153,132	$	152,750		1


(1)-		Level 1 indicates that the fair value is determined by using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 2 indicates that the fair value is determined using pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets such as models or other valuation methodologies. Level 3 indicates that the fair value is determined using pricing inputs that are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Significant management estimates and judgment are used in the determination of the fair value of level 3 pricing inputs.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists of finished goods such as redemption kiosk devices, work-in-progress and raw materials is stated at lower of cost or market. The cost of inventory includes cost of materials, labor, overhead and freight. Inventory is accounted for using the average cost method. Inventory as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $5.0 million and $0, respectively. All inventory was acquired as part of the Western Money acquisition in May 2010. Inventory is still subject to final purchase accounting adjustments of Western Money.

ATM FUNDING AGREEMENTS

Bank of America Treasury Services Agreement

On December 19, 2007, GCA entered into the Treasury Services Agreement that allowed for the Company to utilize up to $410 million in funds owned by Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) to provide the currency needed for normal operating requirements for many of the ATMs operated by the Company. For use of these funds, the Company pays Bank of America a cash usage fee equal to the average daily balance of funds utilized multiplied by the one-month LIBOR rate plus 25 basis points. The Treasury Services Agreement expires on December 19, 2010 and the Company is currently in negotiations with a new ATM currency provider to replace Bank of America on or prior to the expiration of the term of the Treasury Services Agreement.

GLOBAL CASH ACCESS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Company recognizes the fees that it pays to Bank of America for cash usage pursuant to the Treasury Services Agreement as interest expense in our financial statements for the following reasons:

	•		the Treasury Services Agreement operates in a fashion similar to a revolving line of credit in that amounts are drawn and repaid on a daily basis;

	•		the resource being procured by the Company under the terms of the Treasury Services Agreement is a financial resource and in the absence of such an arrangement, the Company would be required to obtain sufficient alternative financing either on balance sheet or off balance sheet in order to meet its financial obligations;

	•		the fees of the Treasury Services Agreement are assessed on the outstanding balance during the applicable period and include a base rate which is tied to LIBOR and a spread, similar to a credit spread, of 25 basis points; and

	•		the fees incurred by the Company under the Treasury Services Agreement are a function of both the prevailing rate of LIBOR as dictated by the capital markets and the average outstanding balance during the applicable period as previously noted. The fees do not vary with revenue or any other underlying driver of revenue such as transaction count or dollars processed as is the case with all costs classified as cost of revenue such as interchange expense and processing fees.

Pursuant to the Treasury Services Agreement, the limit on the maximum allowable currency to be provided by Bank of America is $410 million. The amount provided by Bank of America can be increased above $410 million at the option of Bank of America.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the cash usage fees incurred by the Company were $0.5 million and $1.4 million and $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance of ATM cash utilized by the Company from Bank of America was $379.9 million and $428.3 million, respectively, and the cash usage interest rates in effect were 0.507% and 0.483%, respectively.

The Company is responsible for any losses of cash in the ATMs under the Treasury Services Agreement. The Company is self-insured related to this risk. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has incurred no material losses related to this self-insurance.

Site Funded ATMs

The Company operates some ATMs at customer locations where the customer provides the cash required for the ATM operational needs. The Company is required to reimburse the customer for the amount of cash dispensed from these site-funded ATMs. The site-funded ATM liability is included within settlement liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and was $26.0 million and $37.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company operated 1,527 and 1,456 site-funded ATMs as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has issued stock options to acquire shares of the common stock of the Company (“options”) to directors, officers and key employees under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). Generally, options under the 2005 Plan (other than those granted to non-employee directors) will vest at a rate of 25% of the shares underlying the option after one year and the remaining shares vest in equal portions over the following 36 months, such that all shares are vested after four years. Options are issued at the current market price on the date of grant, with a contractual term of 10 years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $5.1 million in non-cash compensation expense related to options granted that are expected to vest.

Restricted Stock

The Company issued shares of restricted common stock of the Company to directors, officers and key employees in the first quarters of 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The vesting provisions are similar to those applicable to options. Because these shares of restricted stock are issued primarily to employees of the Company, some of the shares issued will be withheld by the Company to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements applicable to such restricted stock awards. Therefore, as these awards vest the actual number of shares outstanding as a result of the restricted stock awards is reduced and the number of shares included within treasury stock is increased by the amount of shares withheld. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company withheld 101,479 shares of restricted stock from employees with a cumulative vesting commencement date fair value of $0.7 million. These amounts have been included as part of the total treasury stock repurchased during the period.

A summary of all non-vested awards for the Company’s time-based restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2010 is as follows:


				Weighted Average
	Shares			Grant Date Fair		Aggregate
	Outstanding			Value		Fair Value
Balance, December 31, 2009		1,041,756		$	3.12	$	3,254

Balance — September 30, 2010		572,535		$	2.74	$	1,569

There were 394,023 shares of time-based restricted stock vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $1.3 million in non-cash compensation expense related to the restricted stock granted that is expected to vest. As of September 30, 2010, there was $1.7 million in unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of time-based restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the performance of the Company. The Company’s chief operating decision-making group consists of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each represents products or services that can be, and often are, marketed and sold separately to our customers.

The Company operates in three distinct business segments: (1) cash advance transactions, (2) ATM transactions, and (3) check services. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance against its internal forecasts and are consistent with the Company’s internal management reporting.

Other lines of business, none of which exceed the established materiality for segment reporting, include credit reporting services, Western Money, Western Union, Casino Marketing Services and Global Recovery Services, among others.

The Company’s internal management reporting does not allocate overhead or depreciation and amortization expenses to the respective business segments. For the segment information presented below, these amounts have been allocated to the respective segments based upon relation to the business segment (where identifiable) or on respective revenue contribution.

The Company’s business is predominantly domestic, with no specific regional concentrations and no significant assets in foreign locations.

Major Customers

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the combined revenues from all segments from our largest customer, Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, was approximately $21.3 million and $64.3 million and $23.3 million and $72.4 million, respectively, representing 14.2% and 13.8% and 14.3% and 14.0% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues, respectively. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 35.5% and 34.8% and 34.6% and 34.1%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) begins with an overview of our business which includes our business goals, key events occurring in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, certain subsequent events that occurred after September 30, 2010, and certain trends, risks and challenges. We then discuss our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period for 2009, respectively. This is followed by a description of our liquidity and capital resources, including discussions about sources and uses of cash, our borrowings, deferred tax asset, other liquidity needs and off-balance sheet arrangements. We conclude with a discussion of critical accounting policies and their impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

You should read the following discussion together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2009 10-K. When reviewing our MD&A, you should also refer to the description of our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2009 10-K because understanding these policies and estimates is important in order to fully understand our reported financial results and our business outlook for future periods. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect our future results include: the future financial performance of the gaming industry, the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates; the impact of regulation and regulatory changes, investigative and legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions and dispositions; future integration of acquired businesses and numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business and competitive nature. All forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from those presently anticipated due to a variety of factors, including those discussed in Item 1A of our 2009 10-K.

Overview

The Company is a provider in the United States and several international jurisdictions of cash access and data intelligence services and solutions to the gaming industry. Our services and solutions provide gaming establishment patrons access to cash through a variety of methods, including ATM cash withdrawals, credit card cash access transactions, POS debit card transactions, check verification and warranty services and money transfers. In addition, the Company also provides products and services that improve credit decision-making, automate cashier operations and enhance patron marketing activities for gaming establishments. The Company also manufactures and sells redemption kiosk devices through its Western Money subsidiary. These services are provided either directly by GCA or through one of its subsidiaries.

Key Events during the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

	•		On July 21, 2010, the Company announced the intention of Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. not to renew its agreements for the provision of ATM, POS debit and credit card cash access services (the “Harrah’s Cash Access Agreements”) with certain subsidiaries of the Company, which will expire on November 30, 2010. The expiration of the Harrah’s Cash Access Agreements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operating results for the calendar year 2010.

	•		On September 2, 2010, the Company announced the appointments of Mary E. Higgins to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Michael Rumbolz to the Board of Directors as a Class II director.

Trends

Our strategic planning and forecasting processes include the consideration of economic and industry-wide trends that may impact our business. We have indentified the more material positive and negative trends affecting our business as the following:

	•		The gaming sector in the United States continues to experience a decline in business as compared to the prior year. Gaming activity continues to expand into more domestic and international markets.

	•		The cash access industry in the gaming sector has become increasingly competitive and is having an adverse affect on the Company’s operating margins with respect to new customers and existing customers that have renewed their cash access agreements with the Company.

	•		There continues to be a migration from credit card cash access and POS debit transactions to ATM withdrawals by patrons of gaming establishments who use our services.

	•		There has been an increase in regulatory and legislative activity regarding notice requirements associated with incidents involving the misappropriation of consumer data, causing participants in the financial service and other industries to devote additional efforts to maintaining the security of their data files.

	•		The credit markets in the U.S. and around the world have been volatile and unpredictable.

Total Revenues

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $152.1 million and $467.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $12.2 million and $51.2 million, or 7.4% and 9.9%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The primary driver of the decreased revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a decline in same store revenue by 7.0% and 9.3%, respectively, which was primarily driven by the decline in credit card cash access revenues. Segment changes in revenue are discussed below.

Credit card cash access and POS debit transaction revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $60.5 million and $190.5 million, a decrease of $9.2 million and $35.4 million, or 13.2% and 15.7%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to lower credit card usage by patrons at gaming establishments. This had a negative impact on our financial results as revenue generated from a credit card cash access or POS debit transaction is generally more profitable than revenue generated from an ATM transaction. The number of credit card cash access and POS debit transactions declined by approximately 0.3 million and 1.2 million, or 10.7% and 13.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

ATM revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $79.7 million and $242.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million and $10.5 million, or 2.2% and 4.2%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the continued decline in attendance by patrons to gaming establishments. The number of ATM transactions declined by approximately 0.9 million or 4.3%, while revenue and transaction size per ATM transaction were slightly higher due to a slightly higher average surcharge assessed per ATM transaction and a slightly higher draw per ATM transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009. The number of ATM transactions declined by approximately 4.3 million, or 6.6%, while revenue per transaction increased slightly on flat ATM transaction size for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Check services revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $6.4 million and $22.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million and $8.8 million, or 32.6% and 28.6%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in number of check services transactions by 0.3 million and 1.2 million, or 20.0% and 24.0%, respectively, largely driven by the loss of customers in this segment. Check services revenues have also been impacted by a long-term trend in which consumers continue to move from physical checks to electronic forms of transactions. As a result of this trend, we expect check services revenues to be lower in 2010 than in 2009.

Other revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $5.4 million and $13.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million and $3.4 million, or 50.0% and 35.1%, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of results of operations of Western Money, which was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from Global Recovery Services and Casino Marketing Services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We provide our cash access products and related services almost exclusively to gaming establishments for the purpose of enabling gaming patrons to access cash. As a result, our business depends on consumer demand for gaming. Gaming is a discretionary leisure activity and participation in such activities has in the past and may in the future decline during economic downturns as fewer patrons frequent gaming establishments or as a result of lower gaming spend per visit due to the lack of confidence related to economic conditions. With fewer patrons visiting gaming establishments, there may be less gaming activity, which could result in a decrease in use of our cash access products and related services.

Costs and Expenses

Costs of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $116.1 million and $355.7 million, a decrease of $7.9 million and $35.0 million, or 6.4% and 9.0%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the decreases in commission-related expenses and interchange charges, which are largely correlated with revenue.

Operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $18.7 million and $57.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million and a decrease of $1.7 million, or 0.5% and 2.9%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to same period of 2009 was primarily due to lower employee-related costs and lower ATM-related expenses and the decline in cash advance related operating expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $4.0 million and $12.4 million, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million, or 7.0% and 8.8%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in amortization due to the run-off of amortization.

Primarily as a result of the factors described above, operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $13.3 million and $42.6 million, a decrease of $4.2 million and $13.4 million, or 24.0% and 23.9%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.9 million and $12.4 million, a decrease of $0.5 million and $1.2 million, or 11.4% and 8.8% as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates on lower average outstanding borrowings as well as a lower average draw on the Treasury Services Agreement of $339.9 million and $341.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $356.8 million and $369.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Interest income was also lower due to lower interest rates earned on invested cash balances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $4.5 million and $12.4 million, a decrease of $0.5 million and $3.7 million, or 10.0% and 23.0%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The provision for income tax reflected an effective income tax rate of 47.6% and 41.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to 38% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is due primarily to prior year tax return and income tax payable true-ups, combined with an increase in the effect of incentive stock options in proportion to lower pretax income amounts. The decrease in income tax expense was directly related to the decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax expense of 39.5% and 32.3%, respectively.

Primarily as a result of the foregoing, net income was $4.9 million and $17.8 million, a decrease of $3.2 million and $8.6 million, or 39.5% and 32.6%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Information about our financial position as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is presented below:


	September 30,		December 31,		%
(in thousands)	2010		2009		Change

Cash and cash equivalents	$	43,249	$	84,768		-49	%
Borrowings		224,000		249,750		-10	%
Stockholders’ equity		142,302		145,409		-2	%

Cash Resources

Our cash balance, cash flows and credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to meet our recurring operating commitments and to fund our planned capital expenditures. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2010 included cash in non-U.S. jurisdictions of approximately $17.8 million. These funds are available for operating and investment purposes within the jurisdiction in which they reside but may be subject to taxation in the United States upon repatriation.

We provide cash settlement services to our customers. These services involve the movement of funds between the various parties associated with cash access transactions, and this activity results in a balance due to us at the end of each business day that we recoup over the next few business days. The balances due to us are included in settlement receivables. As of September 30, 2010, approximately $16.9 million was due to us, and we received these funds in early October 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $45.1 million in settlement liabilities due to our customers for these settlement services which were paid in early October 2010. Based primarily on the switch of processor, on a small portion of our transactions during the third quarter of 2010, from VISA to Star, net receivables increased.

Due to the timing differences between receipt of settlement receivables and payments to customers for settlement liabilities our actual net cash position available for other corporate purposes is determined as the sum of the cash on hand and our settlement receivables minus our settlement liabilities.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flow activity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,			September 30,
	2010			2009

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	34,993		$	58,826
Net cash used in investing activities		(23,241	)		(5,315	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(53,308	)		(55,157	)
Net effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		37			(1,790	)

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(41,519	)		(3,436	)

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period		84,768			77,148


Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	43,249		$	73,712

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flows from operating activities, which were $35.0 million and $58.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net income accounted for $17.8 million and $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted for a net decrease of $6.2 million and an increase of $5.9 million in cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Non-cash expenses include $23.4 million and $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease from the first nine months of the last year was due to lower earnings and an increase in settlement receivables due to the switch of processors from VISA to Star on a portion of our transactions.

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.2 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is $15.4 million and $0 for acquisitions, and $7.8 million and $5.3 million for capital investments and $0.1 million and $0 for other, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities was $53.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $55.2 million provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we made payments totaling $25.0 million against our senior subordinated debt and payments of $0.8 million against our credit facility as compared to payments made of $15.8 million against our credit facility for the same period of 2009. We repurchased $25.0 million of shares pursuant to negotiated private transactions, $7.5 million of shares purchased in open-market transactions and $0.7 million of vested restricted shares surrendered for taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $42.0 million of shares purchased in open-market transactions and $0.1 million of vested restricted shares surrendered for taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We also had proceeds from the exercise of options of $5.6 million and $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Deferred Tax Asset

At September 30, 2010, we had a net deferred income tax asset of $137.2 million. We recognized a deferred tax asset upon our conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation on May 14, 2004. Prior to that time, all tax attributes flowed through to the members of the limited liability company. The principal component of the deferred tax asset is a difference between our assets for financial accounting and tax purposes. This difference results from a significant balance of Acquired Goodwill of approximately $687 million that was generated as part of the conversion to a corporation plus approximately $98 million in pre-existing goodwill carried over from periods prior to the conversion. Both of these assets are recorded for tax purposes but not for accounting purposes. This asset is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes, resulting in annual pretax income being $52.3 million lower for tax purposes than for financial accounting purposes. At an estimated blended domestic effective tax rate of 36.4%, this results in tax payments being approximately $19.0 million less than the provision for income taxes shown on the income statement for financial accounting purposes. There is an expected aggregate of $163.3 million in cash savings over the remaining life of the portion of our deferred tax asset related to the conversion.

Other Liquidity Needs and Resources

Bank of America Amended Treasury Services Agreement. We obtain currency to meet the normal operating requirements of domestic ATMs that we operate pursuant to the Treasury Services Agreement with Bank of America. Under this agreement, all currency supplied by Bank of America remains the sole property of Bank of America at all times until it is dispensed, at which time Bank of America obtains an interest in the corresponding settlement receivable. Because it is never an asset of ours, supplied cash is not reflected on our balance sheet. At September 30, 2010, the total currency obtained from Bank of America pursuant to this agreement was $379.9 million. Because Bank of America obtains an interest in our settlement receivables, there is no liability corresponding to the supplied cash reflected on our balance sheet. The fees that we pay to Bank of America for cash usage pursuant to the Treasury Services Agreement are reflected as interest expense in our financial statements.

On March 13, 2008, the Treasury Services Agreement was amended to increase the limit on the aggregate allowed currency that Bank of America would provide to the Company from $360 million to $410 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2010, we had $0.3 million in standby letters of credit issued and outstanding as collateral on surety bonds for certain licenses held related to our Nevada check cashing licenses.

Effects of Inflation

Our monetary assets, consisting primarily of cash and receivables, are not significantly affected by inflation. Our non-monetary assets, consisting primarily of our deferred tax asset, goodwill and other intangible assets, are not affected by inflation. We believe that replacement costs of equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements will not materially affect our operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our operating expenses, such as those for salaries and benefits, vault cash, armored carrier expenses, telecommunications expenses and equipment repair and maintenance services, which may not be readily recoverable in the financial terms under which we provide our cash access products and services to gaming establishments and their patrons.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations, and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

There were not any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the 2009 10-K (No. 001-32622) filed on March 15, 2010.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. We operate and conduct business in foreign countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk related to our foreign operations is not material to our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. At present, we do not hedge this risk, but continue to evaluate such foreign currency translation risk exposure. At present, we do not hold any derivative securities of any kind.

Pursuant to the Treasury Services Agreement, Bank of America supplies us with currency needed for normal operating requirements of the domestic ATMs we operate. Under the terms of this agreement, we pay a monthly cash usage fee based upon the product of the average daily dollars outstanding in all such ATMs multiplied by the average LIBOR for one-month United States dollar deposits for each day that rate is published in that month plus a margin of 25 basis points. We are therefore exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the applicable LIBOR increases. As of September 30, 2010, the rate in effect, inclusive of the 25 basis points margin, was 0.507% and the currency supplied by Bank of America pursuant to this agreement was $379.9 million. Based upon the average outstanding amount of currency to be supplied by Bank of America pursuant to this agreement during the first nine months of 2010, which was $341.7 million, each 1% increase in the applicable LIBOR would have a maximum impact of $3.4 million on income before taxes over a 12-month period. However, contractually, a significant portion of that increase would be passed through to our customers. Foreign gaming establishments supply the currency needs for the ATMs located on their premises.

Our senior secured credit facilities bear interest at rates that can vary over time. We have the option of having interest on the outstanding amounts under these credit facilities paid based on a base rate (equivalent to the prime rate) or based on the Eurodollar rate (equivalent to LIBOR). We have historically elected to pay interest based on the one month United States dollar LIBOR, and we expect to continue to pay interest based on LIBOR of various maturities. At September 30, 2010, the weighted average interest rate, inclusive of the applicable margin of 112.5 basis points, was 1.381%. Based upon the outstanding balance on the senior secured credit facility of $96.2 million on September 30, 2010, each 1% increase in the applicable LIBOR would add an additional $1.0 million of interest expense over a 12-month period.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in that they provide a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
