S1 CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
S1 Corporation is a leading global provider of payments and financial services software solutions. We offer payments solutions for ATM and retail point-of-sale (“POS”) driving, card management, and merchant acquiring, as well as financial services solutions for consumer, small business and corporate online banking, trade finance, mobile banking, voice banking, branch and call center banking. We sell our solutions primarily to banks, credit unions, retailers and transaction processors. We also provide software, custom software development, hosting and other services to State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”), a relationship that we expect will conclude by the end of 2011. When we use the terms “S1 Corporation”, “S1”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our,” we mean S1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed notes pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2011, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The data in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 was derived from our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S1 and its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011 or for any other period. We have evaluated the events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date of March 31, 2011 for items that could potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.
Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended FASB ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method and additional disclosures on the selling price method. The change is effective January 1, 2011. As most arrangements accounted for under software revenue recognition guidance are excluded from the update, the adoption of this change did not have a material effect on our results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB amended FASB ASC 985-605 Software: Revenue Recognition to exclude from its scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that operate together to deliver the product’s functions. The change is effective January 1, 2011. As this change does not affect revenue arrangements that have no tangible products or contracts that bundle services and software, the adoption of this change did not have a material effect on our results of operations since most of our arrangements have little to no tangible products.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
   
Level 1 which is defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
Level 2 which is defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
   
Level 3 which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying value approximates fair value for our cash and cash equivalents due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of fixed-term deposits approximate their carrying value as the principal is fixed and were included in other current assets. Our long-term debt in 2010 had a fixed interest rate and the fair value was determined by discounting cash flows of future interest accruals at market rates currently offered for borrowings with similar remaining maturities or repricing terms. Deferred compensation consisted of deferred cash fees for members of our Board of Directors that were issued as deferred cash units, the fair value of which is remeasured each period based on our closing stock price and were included in long-term other liabilities.
The liability for deferred compensation below was the only financial instrument that was remeasured on a recurring basis as of the respective reporting dates and we determined that the liability was Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value estimates of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):
                                 
    March 31, 2011     December 31, 2010  
    Carrying     Estimated     Carrying     Estimated

4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consisted of the following (in thousands):
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2011     2010  
 
               
Billed receivables
  $ 48,697     $ 35,264  
Unbilled receivables
    9,369       12,415  
Allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments
    (3,204 )     (3,309 )
 
           
Total
  $ 54,862     $ 44,370  
 
           
Billed accounts receivables that were more than 90 days past due accounted for 17% and 16% of the billed accounts receivable balance, excluding allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 52% and 60% of the unbilled receivables, respectively, related to an implementation for an international branch customer. Unbilled receivables generally relate to professional services projects with milestone billings where revenue is recognized as services are rendered and billings are sent to customers in accordance with the terms of the contract, primarily at project milestone dates. We expect to bill and collect these amounts within one year of the balance sheet date.

7. INCOME TAXES
FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes and FASB ASC 270 Interim Reporting requires that companies report income taxes on interim periods’ financial statements using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Using this method, income taxes are computed at the end of each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. Income forecasts prepared by us do not reflect the distinct taxable jurisdictions required to utilize this approach. Due to various domestic and foreign jurisdictions in which our business operates, it is difficult to produce accurate income forecasts by jurisdiction and appropriately apply the net operating losses we have in these various jurisdictions in the forecast. Therefore, a reliable annual effective tax rate cannot be estimated for the full year and we use a year-to-date effective tax rate that is updated each quarter as our effective tax rate can vary depending on the jurisdiction in which our income is generated. Since our deferred tax assets in the United States and Thailand are reserved with a valuation allowance, changes in certain temporary items, such as stock-based compensation, can significantly impact our effective tax rate on a quarterly and annual basis. In addition, income tax expense from international jurisdictions and the impact of the valuation allowance with the deferred tax assets in the United States and Thailand may cause significant variations between income tax expense and pre-tax U.S. GAAP income (loss). During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our effective tax rate was 40% which was above the expected statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of losses in a foreign jurisdiction in which we did not record an income tax benefit.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
We maintain certain stock-based compensation plans providing for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other forms of awards to officers, directors and non-officer employees. Our 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated effective February 26, 2008) is the only plan that provides for new grants. Awards that are settled in cash do not count against the maximum number of shares in these plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we did not grant any stock-based compensation awards. There was no capitalized stock-based compensation cost as of March 31, 2011.

If all outstanding options were exercised, all restricted stock vested, and all available grants were issued and exercised as of March 31, 2011, our stock-based compensation plans would provide for the issuance of common stock as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2011, all SARs have vested with a liability of $1.9 million based on the Black-Scholes valuation, which uses our outstanding closing stock price, among other factors, as of March 31, 2011. The outstanding SARs are cash-settled awards and, accordingly, we will record changes in fair value until they are settled.
Our stock-based compensation expense relates to our stock options, restricted stock and cash-settled SARs. The SARs expense is recalculated each quarter based on our updated valuation which includes, among other factors, our closing stock price for the period. Therefore, changes in our stock price during a period will cause our SARs expense to change thus impacting our stock-based compensation expense until the SARs are settled. The overall decrease in our stock price during the quarters presented resulted in a decrease of our SARs liability which was reflected in our stock-based compensation expense.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
S1 Corporation is a leading global provider of payments and financial services software solutions. We manage our business in three operating segments: Payments, Banking: Large FI, and Banking: Community FI. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on their contribution before Interest and other expense, net and Income tax expense, as reflected in the tables presented below for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. We do not use any asset-based metrics to measure the operating performance of our segments.

Major Customer. Currently, we have one major customer (defined as any customer who individually contributes more than 10% of total revenue) in the Banking: Large FI segment. We derived 9% and 15% of our total revenue from State Farm during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our Banking: Large FI segment derived 20% and 32% of the segment’s revenue from State Farm during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2008, we announced that we expected our relationship with State Farm to conclude by the end of 2011.
Geography. Our geographic regions are the Americas and International in Europe, Middle East and India (“EMEI”), Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) and Africa. Revenue by geographic region includes intercompany services performed for other regions. Our long-lived assets in the international regions primarily are property and equipment.

11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
We calculate net income per share by allocating income between the weighted average common shares outstanding and the weighted average outstanding participating securities during periods in which we record net income. For periods in which we record a net loss, we calculate net loss per share as the net loss during the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as the effect of applying the two-class method would be anti-dilutive. Because of our net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2010, we did not include 0.6 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on our loss per share for that period. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands except per share data):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated into this quarterly report by reference contain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These statements include statements with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar terminology identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include projections of our revenue, revenue backlog, expenses, capital expenditures, earnings per share, product development projects, future economic performance or management objectives. These statements are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made using information currently available to management. Because these statements reflect the current views of management concerning future events, they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available.
When we use the terms “S1 Corporation”, “S1”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our,” we mean S1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. You are urged to read the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Executive Overview
Background. S1 Corporation is a leading global provider of payments and financial services software solutions. We offer payments solutions for ATM and retail POS driving, card management, and merchant acquiring, as well as financial services solutions for consumer, small business and corporate online banking, trade finance, mobile banking, voice banking, branch and call center banking. We sell our solutions primarily to banks, credit unions, retailers and transaction processors. We also provide software, custom software development, hosting and other services to State Farm, a relationship that we expect will conclude by the end of 2011.
Historically, Software licenses for a majority of our Payments solutions and for some of our Banking: Large FI solutions were generally recognized upon delivery of the software provided all other revenue recognition criteria were met. However, as our Payments business expands to serve larger customers and our Banking: Large FI business provides greater levels of customization and integration, specifically for our corporate online banking solutions, implementation projects have been increasing in size, complexity and length. Accordingly, we expect a greater percentage of Software licenses to be recognized over the implementation period as Software licenses revenue is recognized over the implementation period when professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software. While this shift does have an impact on our current and near-term financial results, we believe it will provide greater long-term revenue visibility. Software licenses and professional services revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method can vary from quarter to quarter due to the number and size of professional services projects, project scope changes, changes in estimates to completion, and project delays and cancellations.
In February 2011, we amended certain agreements (collectively, the “Amendments”) with an international branch customer to (i) reduce the scope of the project with this customer, and (ii) revise billing milestones. In exchange for these contract modifications, we granted the customer licenses to certain of our software products (the “Licensed Products”). Pursuant to the Amendments, this customer is entitled to normal and customary upgrades and enhancements related to the Licensed Products for up to seven years at no additional cost. Consequently, we allocated a portion of the revenue from this project to the fair value of this obligation which, when netted against the favorable impact of the reduction in project scope, reduced our revenue in the first quarter of 2011 by approximately $1.3 million.
In March 2010, we acquired PM Systems Corporation (“PMSC”) which provides Internet banking, bill payment and security services to credit unions in the United States. In August 2010, in support of establishing an office in Latin America, we acquired certain assets and employees from a company that resold our products in Latin America (the “Reseller”). Our results of operations reflect the performance of PMSC and the Reseller since their respective dates of acquisition.

Summary financial results. Our revenue was $57.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 which was an increase of $6.7 million, or 13%, as compared to the same period in 2010 due primarily to higher Software licenses revenue across all segments, growth of Professional services revenue in our Payments and Banking: Large FI segments, and higher Hosting revenue in our Banking: Community FI segment primarily due to the PMSC acquisition in March 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our net income of $0.7 million was an increase of $1.7 million as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of this revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in professional services costs to accommodate project and customer support growth.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we generated $4.1 million in cash provided by operating activities primarily from earnings adjusted for the effect of non-cash expenses. In February 2011, we paid in full the note payable relating to our corporate headquarters of $5.0 million less the return of $1.6 million held as collateral deposit.
Revenue from Significant Customers
Revenue from State Farm was 9% and 15% of our total revenue and 20% and 32% of our Banking: Large FI segment’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2008, we announced that we expected our relationship with State Farm to conclude by the end of 2011. We expect to generate approximately $16 — $17 million in revenue in 2011 from this customer.
Revenue Backlog
Our estimated revenue backlog includes revenue for Software licenses including term licenses, Professional services, and Hosting services, as specified in executed contracts that we believe will be recognized in revenue over the next twelve months. Revenue backlog associated with the State Farm business, the custom development for an international branch customer, and our Banking: Community FI segment is excluded from the revenue backlog totals. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our estimate of revenue backlog was $64.3 million and $62.8 million, respectively. We believe that presenting this estimate provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors understanding trends in our business including the shift we are experiencing toward recognizing more software license revenue using the percentage of completion method. However, our estimated revenue backlog is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of factors, many of which are completely outside of our control. Please see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion.

Revenue. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $6.7 million, or 13%, as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher Software licenses revenue across all segments, growth in Professional services revenue in our Payments and Banking: Large FI segments, and higher Hosting revenue in our Banking: Community FI segment primarily due to PMSC which was acquired in March 2010. Banking: Large FI segment’s Professional services revenue included a decline in revenue from State Farm of $1.7 million and from an international branch customer of $1.4 million. Revenue was favorably impacted in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates by approximately $0.4 million primarily for operations in Europe and South Africa in the Payments segment.
Payments segment revenue increased primarily due to higher Software licenses revenue as the first quarter of 2011 included an increase in the number of licenses recognized over the implementation period and license volume upgrades. Professional services revenue increased in this segment in the first quarter of 2011 from project growth due to increased bookings. Additionally, Professional services revenue was negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of increases in the size and complexity of certain projects. The increase in Support and maintenance revenue in this segment in the first quarter 2011 reflects the continued growth in Software licensing activity. The acquisition of certain assets and employees of the Reseller did not materially impact revenue in the first quarter of 2011.
Banking: Large FI segment revenue increased primarily due to higher Software licenses revenue as the number of licenses recognized over the implementation period increased from the prior year’s period. Professional services revenue in this segment increased mainly from project growth due to increased bookings partially offset by the decline in business with State Farm of $1.7 million and with an international branch customer of $1.4 million. Professional services revenue for the international branch customer included a reduction of approximately $1.3 million in revenue as we netted the allocation of a portion of revenue for upgrade and enhancement obligations against the favorable impact of the reduction in project scope resulting from the Amendments entered into in the first quarter of 2011. Banking: Large FI segment’s Hosting revenue decreased primarily due to the decline in business with State Farm.
Banking: Community FI segment revenue increased largely due to a revenue increase of $2.5 million from PMSC, which is reflected mainly in Hosting revenue. Software licenses revenue growth in this segment included a license volume upgrade for a branch customer in the first quarter of 2011. The migration of Banking: Community FI’s customers to this segment’s new platform negatively impacted revenue growth in the first quarter of 2011 as this migration effort impacted our ability to add new customers. We expect that the migrations will continue to impact revenue growth in this segment during 2011.
Operating income (loss). Our operating income increased $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 mainly due to revenue growth for both the Payments and Banking: Large FI segments and the acquisition of PMSC (which is reflected in our Banking: Community FI segment), partially offset by growth in professional services and support personnel to accommodate customer and project growth. We incurred lower professional fees as the prior year’s period included non-recurring professional fees of $1.2 million related to legal fees and transaction costs offset by higher accruals for variable cash incentives in 2011. The impact on revenue from changes in foreign exchange rates in the first quarter of 2011 was generally offset by the impact in operating expenses as most of our foreign operations are naturally hedged.

Payments segment operating income increased $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in Software licenses and Professional services revenue and lower professional fees as the prior year’s period included non-recurring professional fees. Additionally, we incurred growth in professional services and support personnel to accommodate customer and project growth and incurred higher accruals for variable cash incentives. The acquisition of certain assets and employees of the Reseller did not materially impact Payments segment operating results during the first quarter of 2011.
Banking: Large FI segment operating income increased $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in Software licenses and Professional services revenue offset by growth in professional services and support personnel to accommodate customer and project growth. Banking: Large FI segment’s operating income was reduced by higher accruals for variable cash incentives offset by non-recurring professional fees in the first quarter of 2010.
Banking: Community FI segment operating loss decreased $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due mainly to the acquisition of PMSC in March 2010, which contributed operating income of approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Banking: Community FI segment’s operating loss was impacted by the migration of customers to this segment’s new platform. We expect that the costs of migrating customers to Banking: Community FI’s new platform will decline towards the end of 2011.
Interest and other expense, net. Interest and other expense, net was primarily impacted by net foreign exchange losses and withholding taxes related to international trade receivables and payment of intercompany services.
Income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had income tax expense of $0.5 million primarily from income tax expense in certain foreign jurisdictions where we do not have net operating loss carryforwards to offset income and the impact of losses in a foreign jurisdictions in which we did not record an income tax benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of cash is cash collections from our customers following the purchase of software licenses, support and maintenance, professional services and hosting services. Payments from customers for support and maintenance and software subscription agreements are generally billed annually in advance. Our primary uses of cash are for personnel, facilities and capital expenditures. The following tables show selected information about our cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and selected balance sheet data as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

(1)   Working capital includes deferred revenue of $48.6 million and $38.0 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Operating Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities of $4.1 million was primarily due to cash generated from our earnings adjusted for the effect of non-cash expenses. Accounts receivable and deferred revenue increased equally for billings in advance of professional services and deferred software licenses recognized over the implementation period. Our unbilled receivables of $9.4 million as of March 31, 2011 related to revenue recognized on professional services projects in advance of milestone billings that we expect to bill and collect in future quarters. As of March 31, 2011, 52% of the unbilled receivables related to the custom development project for an international branch customer. During the first quarter of 2011, we made restructuring payments of $0.6 million for facilities vacated in prior years and expect to have net cash expenditures of approximately $1.0 million as the leases expire by the end of 2011.
Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used in investing activities was for capital expenditures of $1.7 million primarily related to computer equipment.
Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cash used in financing activities was $4.7 million mainly due to the payment of approximately $5.0 million for our notes payable relating to our corporate headquarters in February 2011 which was funded from our cash reserves in the United States.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We generally do not engage in off balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business, but we enter into operating lease arrangements and purchase commitments in the normal course of business. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a more complete discussion of our operating lease arrangements and purchase commitments.
Stock appreciation rights awards. As of March 31, 2011, we have a cash liability of approximately $1.9 million related to our SARs granted in November 2006 that are vested and exercisable at the discretion of the employees holding such awards. These estimates are based on the Black-Scholes valuation, which uses our closing stock price, among other factors, as of March 31, 2011.
Capital requirements. We believe that our expected cash flows from operations together with our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, debt obligations, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity, issue debt securities or establish a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The addition of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, FASB”) amended FASB ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method and additional disclosures on the selling price method. The change is effective January 1, 2011. As most arrangements accounted for under software revenue recognition guidance are excluded from the update, the adoption of this change did not have a material effect on our results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB amended FASB ASC 985-605 Software: Revenue Recognition to exclude from its scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that operate together to deliver the product’s functions. The change is effective January 1, 2011. As this change does not affect revenue arrangements that have no tangible products or contracts that bundle services and software, the adoption of this change did not have a material effect on our results of operations since most of our arrangements have little to no tangible products.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions in accordance with U.S. GAAP that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under other assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. To see further discussion of all the accounting policies and related disclosures, please read our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include those related to:
    revenue recognition;
    estimation of our allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments;
    valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill;
    determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation; and
    income taxes.
Effects of Foreign Currencies
Our revenue and net income were impacted by foreign exchange rate fluctuations mainly for transactions in the British Pound, South African Rand, Indian Rupee and the European Euro. Generally, expenses are denominated in the same currency as our revenue and the exposure to rate changes is naturally hedged for transactions in the British Pound and European Euro which minimizes the impact to net income. However, our development center in India is not naturally hedged as their costs are in the local currency but are funded in U.S. Dollars and British Pounds. Additionally, our South African operations are mostly naturally hedged as some of the development and professional services performed are funded in U.S. Dollars and British Pounds. Please refer to Item 7A of Part II, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for a further discussion of potential foreign currency risks. The estimated effect on our condensed consolidated statements of operations from changes in exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock-based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation expense relates to our stock options, restricted stock and cash-settled SARs. The SARs expense (benefit) is recalculated each quarter based on an updated valuation which includes, among other factors, our closing stock price for the period. Therefore, changes in our stock price during a period will cause our SARs expense (benefit) to change thus impacting our stock-based compensation expense until the SARs are settled. The overall decrease in our stock price during the quarters presented resulted in a decrease in our SARs liability which was reflected in our stock-based compensation expense. The following table shows the stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations (in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposures include the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, interest rate changes, and changes in the market values of our investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2011, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Additionally, our disclosure controls and procedures were also effective as of March 31, 2011 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As originally disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, on May 28, 2010, Leon Stambler filed a complaint in the Eastern District of Texas against 29 named defendants including S1 Corporation and S1, Inc. (collectively, “S1”) and other financial software services providers. The complaint alleges infringement of two patents generally relating to encryption technology. In his complaint, Stambler is seeking unspecified monetary damages. The case is at a preliminary stage. S1 intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation.
There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which our or any of our subsidiaries’ property is subject.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC.
You should consider carefully the Risk Factors. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
