ONLINE RESOURCES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Online Resources Corporation (the “Company”) provides outsourced, web- and phone-based financial technology services to financial institution, biller, card issuer and creditor clients to fulfill payment, banking and other financial services to their millions of consumer end-users. The Company’s products and services enable its clients to provide their consumer end-users with the ability to perform various self-service functions including electronic bill payments and funds transfers, which utilize our unique, real-time debit architecture, ACH and other payment methods, as well as gain online access to their accounts, transaction histories and other information. The Company delivers its products and services to two primary vertical markets: Banking Services and e-Commerce Services.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the end of the period. Equity activities are translated at the spot rate effective at the date of the transaction. Revenue and expense accounts and cash flows of these operations are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period the transactions occurred. Translation gains and losses are included as an adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive income account in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expenses), net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The component of comprehensive income (loss) include the foreign currency translation adjustment.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2011. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2009, the FASB changed its guidance for the accounting of multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements with customers. Current GAAP requires a vendor to use vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price to separate deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement. Multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances with the updated guidance. The change in guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. The best estimate to use in determining a selling price is the price as if the item were sold on a stand alone basis. Changes also include eliminating the residual method of allocation and requiring that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates discounts in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on each selling price. These changes became effective, prospectively, for the Company on January 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance clarifying how to measure and disclose fair value. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

6


In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance for disclosing comprehensive income. The update is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The guidance requires that the Company presents components of comprehensive income in either one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements and no longer permits the presentation of comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The Company will adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2012, as required.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting of intangible goodwill and other that will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements at this time.

2. SENIOR SECURED NOTES

On September 29, 2011 the Company amended and extended its senior secured credit facilities through February 21, 2013. The Company has an agreement with Bank of America which finances its senior secured notes (“2007 Notes”). The agreement also provides a $12 million revolver (“Revolver”) under which the Company can secure up to $10 million in letters of credit. Currently, there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolver, but available credit under the Revolver has been reduced by approximately $1.6 million as a result of letters of credit the bank has issued. The Company has made a principal payment of $14.5 million on the 2007 Notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reducing the outstanding principal from $36.8 million to $22.3 million. The Company will make periodic principal payments until the 2007 Notes are due in 2013 as noted in the table below. Refinancing fees of approximately $0.9 million have been deferred and will be expensed over the remaining term of the credit facility.

The interest rate on both the Revolver and the 2007 Notes is the one month London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 275 to 325 basis points based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined in the 2007 Notes), and is payable monthly. At September 30, 2011, the margin was 300 basis points. The average interest rate was 3.23%. The 2007 Notes and the Revolver are secured by the assets of the Company.

Maturities of long-term debt for each of the next 17 months are as follows (in thousands):

 

Year

   Maturing
Amounts
 

2011 (October 1, 2011-December 31, 2011)

   $ 1,750   

2012

   $ 13,000   

2013

   $ 7,500   

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Theoretical Swap Derivative

The Company bifurcated the fair market value of the embedded derivative associated with the Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) issued in conjunction with the Princeton eCom acquisition on July 3, 2006 as required by GAAP. The Company determined that the embedded derivative is defined as the right to receive a fixed rate of return on the accrued, but unpaid dividends and the variable negotiated rate, which creates a theoretical swap between the fixed rate of return on the accrued, but unpaid dividends and the variable rate actually accrued on the unpaid dividends. This embedded derivative is marked to market at the end of each reporting period through earnings and an adjustment to other assets as required by the Derivative and Hedging Topic. There is no active market quote available for the fair value of the embedded derivative. Thus, management measures fair value of the derivative by estimating future cash flows related to the asset using a forecasted iMoney Net First Tier rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate adjusted for the historical spread for the estimated period in which the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be outstanding.

The following table presents the fair value of the theoretical swap derivative instrument included within the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

4. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Series A-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the restated certificate of incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Of these 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 75,000 shares have been designated Series A-1. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a redemption value of 115% of the face value of the stock, on or after seven years from the date of issuance, or July 3, 2013. The Company recognized $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, to adjust for the redemption value at maturity.

Additionally, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a feature that grants holders the right to receive interest-like returns on accrued, but unpaid, dividends that accumulate at 8% per annum. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $1.5 million of preferred stock accretion was recognized and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $4.5 million of preferred stock accretion was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the 8% per annum cumulative dividends. The right to receive the accrued, but unpaid dividends is based on a variable interest rate, and as such the difference between the fixed and variable rate of returns is a theoretical swap derivative. The Company bifurcates this feature and accretes it to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock over the life of the security. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, of preferred stock accretion expense were recognized and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $1.1 million and $0.9 million of preferred stock accretion expense were recognized for the theoretical swap derivative in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Finally, the cost to issue the Series A-1 Preferred Stock of $5.1 million is being accreted back to the redemption value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock through July 2013, and generated an additional $0.2 million and $0.2 million of preferred stock accretion for each of the three months and $0.6 million and $0.5 million of preferred stock accretion for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

5. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company manages its business through two reportable segments: Banking and eCommerce. The Banking segment’s market consists primarily of banks, credit unions and other depository financial institutions in the United States. The segment’s fully integrated suite of account presentation, bill payment, relationship management and professional services are delivered through the Internet. The eCommerce segment’s market consists of billers, card issuers, processors, and other creditors such as payment acquirers and very large online billers. The segment’s account presentation, payment, relationship management and professional services are distributed to these clients through the Internet.

Factors used to identify the Company’s reportable segments include the organizational structure of the Company and the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s operating segments have been broken out based on similar economic and other qualitative criteria. The Company operates both reporting segments in one geographical area, the United States. The Company’s management assesses the performance of its assets in the aggregate, and accordingly, they are not presented on a segment basis.

6. GOODWILL

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested at the reporting unit level at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The fair value of the Company’s reporting units are measured under the income method by utilizing discounted cash flows. The estimates the Company uses in evaluating goodwill are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage its operations.

The Company did not experience any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. The Company’s stock price declined from $4.65 as of December 31, 2010 to $2.55 as of September 30, 2011. The Company considered whether or not the decline in stock price indicated an impairment requiring reevaluation of the goodwill. Factors evaluated include consideration of the 2011 financial performance as well as other Company specific matters. The Company’s financial performance exceeded the financial projections included in the annual impairment testing and there was no indication that other assumptions used in the annual impairment testing were no longer appropriate. As a result, the Company concluded that there was no indication of impairment. The Company will continue to monitor its financial performance, stock price and other factors in order to determine if there are any indicators of impairment prior to its annual impairment evaluation date.

7. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

At September 30, 2011, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans. The compensation expense for stock-based compensation was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months and $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A portion of the stock based compensation cost has been capitalized as part of software development costs and deferred costs. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, less than $0.1 million was capitalized as part of software development costs and deferred costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, was capitalized as part of software development costs and deferred costs.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula that uses the assumptions noted in the table and discussion that follows:

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
    Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
     2011     2010     2011     2010  

Dividend yield

     —          —          —          —     

Expected volatility

     0     0     66     62

Risk-free interest rate

     0     0     2.63     2.75

Expected life in years

     0        0        6.4        6.4   

Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

Expected Volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as a share price, has fluctuated (historical daily volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The Company uses the historical average daily volatility over the average expected term of the options granted to estimate expected volatility.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the average U.S. Treasury rate for the week of each option grant during the period having a term that most closely resembles the expected term of the option.

Expected Life of Option Term. Expected life of option term is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Options granted during the period have a maximum term of seven to ten years. The Company uses historical expected terms, with further consideration given to the class of employees to whom the equity awards were granted, to estimate the expected life of the option term.

Forfeiture Rate. Forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of equity awards granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates forfeiture rate based on past turnover data ranging anywhere from one to five years with further consideration given to the class of employees to whom the equity awards were granted.

A summary of stock option activity as of September 30, 2011, and changes in the period then ended is presented below (in thousands, except exercise price and remaining contract term data):

     1,679      $ 5.98         2.11       $ 55   

At September 30, 2011, approximately 1,712,000 shares of stock options were outstanding under the 1999 or 2005 Plans. Additionally, approximately 20,000 stock options were granted outside the Company’s plans to a new executive employee and 266,000 stock options were granted outside the Company’s plans to the Company’s CEO as an inducement to join the Company during the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

No options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $2.40 and $2.80 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the table above, the total intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price of the Company’s stock on the last trading day of the quarter and the exercise price of the options. For options exercised, intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price on the date of exercise and the grant price. The intrinsic value of options exercised in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.1 million and $0.1million, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, there was $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 1999 and 2005 Plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, net of shares repurchased to cover the cost of certain exercises and taxes. The tax benefits related to the deductions from option exercises of the share-based payment arrangements will be recognized when those deductions, currently being carried forward as net operating losses, reduce taxes payable.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock units as of the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and changes for the period then ended, is presented below (in thousands, except grant-date fair value data):

 

     Shares     Weighted-

Non-vested at September 30, 2011

     1,423      $ 3.55   
  

 

 

   

At September 30, 2011, there were approximately 1,158,000 shares of non-vested restricted stock units under the 1999 or 2005 Plans. Additionally, approximately 265,000 shares of non-vested restricted stock units were granted outside the Company’s plans.

The fair value of non-vested units is determined based on the opening trading price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. As of September 30, 2011, there was $3.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the 2005 Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full year, adjusted for non-forecastable items recorded during the first nine months of 2011.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 48.3% and 45.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and 38.5% and 39.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The year over year change in the effective tax rate relates to permanent differences, state taxes, and a stock based compensation relating to the difference between the expected deduction from stock based compensation which is based upon the fair value of the award at the date of issuance and the actual deduction taken which is based upon the fair value of the award at the time the award is exercised or vests.

The Company has determined that there have been no material changes in tax positions taken in the prior periods, tax positions taken in the current period, settlements with taxing authorities resulting from lapses in the statute of limitations and unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate and amount of interest and penalties recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The tax return years since 2000 in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions, both federal and various states, have not been audited and are not currently under audit. The Company does not have reason to expect any changes in the next twelve months regarding uncertain tax positions.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the standard specifies that the fair value should be the exit price, or price received to sell the asset or liability as opposed to the entry price, or price paid to acquire an asset or assume a liability.

The standard provides valuation techniques and a fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three categories:

 

(1) Level 1 inputs, which are considered the most reliable, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(2) Level 2 inputs are those that are observable in the market place, either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability.

The tables below show how the Company categorizes certain financial assets and liabilities based on the types of inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value:

13. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

On April 22, 2011 a civil jury in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia returned a verdict in the employment-related lawsuit filed against the Company by its former chairman and chief executive officer, Matthew P. Lawlor. The jury found in his favor on some, but not all, of his claims and awarded him a portion of the total damages he had requested. A final judgment in the case has not been entered by the court pending post-trial motions and related proceedings. While the court denied the Company’s post-trial motion to set aside the verdict on those counts awarded in favor of Lawlor, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, with prejudice, to dismiss the particular counts of Mr. Lawlor’s claims for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief with respect to his claims arising under the Company’s stock-based equity incentive plans. The court also awarded Lawlor most of his attorneys’ fees in the case, which the Company strongly opposes. The Company anticipates the court’s entry of final judgment in the case in the near future. Upon the court’s entry of a final judgment, the Company intends to take all requisite steps to secure and pursue an appeal of the judgment to the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Company has accrued $7.7 million to reflect the entire jury award, plus statutory interest and an estimate of additional expenses which may be recoverable (in whole or in part) by Mr. Lawlor in the event the Company is ultimately unsuccessful either in obtaining the right to appeal the judgment or in obtaining a reversal upon appeal, if granted. This amount is shown as Reserve for potential legal liability in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company also is the defendant in a civil action, Kent D. Stuckey v. Online Resources Corporation, U.S. District Court for Southern Dist. Ohio, Eastern Div., Case No. 2:08-CV-1188. This lawsuit was filed on December 19, 2008 by Mr. Stuckey, the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Internet Transaction Solutions, Inc. (“ITS”), a company that Online Resources acquired in August 2007. The plaintiff has purported to bring this suit in a representative capacity on behalf of all former ITS stockholders. Plaintiff’s primary allegation is that the stockholders of ITS were damaged as a result of the failure of Online Resources to register the shares that were received in the acquisition of ITS. Online Resources has disputed all the claims made by the plaintiff, and believes no material exposure will result from the claims asserted.

On June 30, 2011 the Company filed a civil complaint for declaratory judgment against Autoscribe Corporation and Pollin Patent Licensing, LLC in federal district court in Maryland (Online Resouces Corp. v. Autoscribe Corporation, Pollin Patent Licensing, LLC, U.S. Dist. Court for Dist. MD, Southern/Greenbelt Div., Case No. 8:11-cv-01801-JFM). The Company’s complaint seeks equitable declarations of non-infringement and invalidity with respect to certain U.S. patents asserted by the defendants against the Company. On July 26, 2011 the defendants filed an answer and counterclaim for patent infringement against the Company, including claims for undisclosed damages under applicable law. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its complaint and to oppose the defendants’ counter-claims.

The Company has determined not to record a loss provision related to the above-described Stuckey and Autoscribe cases. It is reasonably possible that subsequent events in these cases could cause the Company to reconsider its determination and to record a loss provision or to increase any prior loss provision in any pending litigation.

OVERVIEW

We provide outsourced, web- and phone-based financial technology services to financial institution, biller, card issuer and creditor clients to fulfill payment, banking and other financial services to their millions of consumer end-users. Our products and services enable our clients to provide their consumer end-users with the ability to perform various self-service functions including electronic bill payments and funds transfers, which utilize our unique, real-time debit architecture, ACH and other payment methods, as well as gain online access to their accounts, transaction histories and other information. We deliver our products and services to two primary vertical markets: Banking Services and e-Commerce Services.

 

   

Banking Services: For banks, credit unions and other depository financial institutions, we provide electronic bill payment and online banking services. Our electronic bill payment services provide clients a cost effective solution to process transactions for their consumer end-users. Our online banking products include an integrated suite of web-based account presentation and payment services, as well as supporting call center, consumer marketing and professional services. These solutions give clients an enhanced experience for their users, the marketing processes to drive Internet channel adoption, and innovative products and services that help them maintain their competitive position.

 

17


The bill payment services we offer to our Banking clients use our proprietary payments gateway, which leverages real-time electronic funds transfer, also known as EFT, infrastructure and technology. By debiting end-users’ accounts in real-time, we are able to improve the speed, cost and certainty of payments, while eliminating the risk that bills will be paid against insufficient funds.

 

   

e-Commerce Services: For billers, card issuers and credit providers, we provide web- and phone-based payment, account presentation and web-collections services, along with supporting professional services. Our services include a full suite of payment options that can be made available to consumers, including acceptance of payments made by credit card, signature debit card, ACH and PIN-less debit through multiple channels including online, interactive voice response, or IVR, and call center customer service representatives. These options also include flexible payment scheduling, convenience payments, bill presentment and other advanced payment and collection services.

We currently derive approximately 75% of our revenues from payments and 25% from internet banking, account presentation and other services. These other services include customer care and consumer marketing services to support consumers and assist our clients in delivering a favorable user experience. It also includes professional services, including internet banking software solutions that enable various customization and deployment options.

We believe our domain expertise fulfills a significant need among both smaller financial services providers, who lack the internal resources to build and operate web-based financial services, and larger providers and billers, who outsource niche solutions in order to use their internal resources elsewhere. We also believe that, because our business requires significant infrastructure along with a high degree of flexibility, real-time solutions, and the ability to integrate financial information and highly reliable transaction processing, we provide valuable service offerings in defensible market segments.

We are headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia. We also maintain operations facilities in Princeton, New Jersey, Parsippany, New Jersey, Woodland Hills, California, Columbus, Ohio Pleasanton, California and Bangalore, India and an additional data center facility in Newark, New Jersey. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1989.

Registered end-users using account presentation, bill payment or both, and the payment transactions executed by those end-users are the major drivers of our revenues. At September 30, 2011 in comparison to December 31, 2010, the number of users of our account presentation services increased 5% and the number of users of our payment services decreased 3%, for an overall 1% decrease in users.

We have long-term service contracts with most of our clients. The majority of our revenues are recurring, though these contracts also provide for implementation, set-up and other non-recurring fees. Account presentation services revenues are based on either a monthly license fee, allowing our clients to register an unlimited number of customers, or a monthly fee for each registered customer. Payment services revenues are either based on a monthly fee for each customer enrolled, a fee per executed transaction, or a combination of both. Our clients pay nearly all of our fees and then determine if or how they want to pass these costs on to their users. They typically provide account presentation services to users free of charge, as they derive significant potential benefits including account retention, delivery and paper cost savings, account consolidation and cross-selling of other products.

As a network-based service provider, we have made substantial up-front investments in infrastructure, particularly for our proprietary systems. We invested approximately $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and $5.9 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These investments were made to create new products, enhance the functionality of existing products and improve our infrastructure. Product enhancements allow us to remain competitive, retain existing clients and attract new clients. New products allow us to increase revenue and attract new clients. Infrastructure investments allow us to leverage ongoing advances in technology to improve our operating efficiency and capture cost savings.

Registered end-users using account presentation, payment services or both, and the payment transactions executed by those end-users are the major drivers of our revenues. Since September 30, 2010, the number of account presentation services users increased by 10%, and the number of payment services users increased 2%, for an overall 3% increase in users. The increase in account presentation services users is due to new clients as well as increased users with existing clients.

(1) In thousands

Account Presentation Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to account presentation services revenues, which increased 30%, or $0.7 million, to $2.9 million. The increase is primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in user fees, $0.1 million increase in license fees, $0.4 million increase in hosting fees and $0.1 million in card usage fees.

Payment Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to payment services revenues, which increased 1%, or $0.4 million, to $28.1 million. The increase is primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in transaction fees offset by $1.4 million decrease in user fees.

Relationship Management Services. Primarily composed of revenues from the Banking segment, relationship management services revenues which decreased 29%, or $0.7 million, to $1.7 million.

Professional Services and Other. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to professional services and other revenues, which increased $1.2 million, or 28%, to $5.7 million.

Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues encompass the direct expenses associated with providing our services. These expenses include telecommunications, payment processing, systems operations, customer service, implementation and professional services work. Costs of revenues increased $1.8 million, or 9%, to $21.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to increases in interchange fees of $1.4 million and increased repair and maintenance expense of $0.4 million.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 47% in the prior year quarter to 45% in the current quarter.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries for executive, administrative and financial personnel, consulting expenses and facilities costs such as office leases, insurance and depreciation. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 8%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to a $0.5 million increase in employee bonus expense.

 

21


Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and commissions paid to sales and client services personnel and other costs incurred in selling our services and products. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 3%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease is due to decreased amortization of intangible assets.

Systems and Development. Systems and development expenses include salaries, consulting fees and all other expenses incurred in supporting the development of new services and products and new technology to enhance existing products. Systems and development expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 14%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to increased India operating costs of $0.2 million.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $0.9 million, or 33%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease is due to increased general and administrative expenses and system and development costs.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $0.6 million, or 208% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease is due to a $0.6 million reduction in the increase to the fair value of the theoretical swap derivative.

Interest and Other Expense (Income). Interest and other expense remained constant for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Provision. We recognized tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of $1.6 million of income before income taxes generated during the third quarter of 2011. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to permanent differences and state taxes.

Preferred Stock Accretion. The accretion related to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued on July 3, 2006 increased 4% due to compounding of dividends.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders. Net loss available to common stockholders decreased $1.0 million to a net loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Basic and diluted net loss available to common stockholders per share was $0.05 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Basic and diluted shares outstanding increased by 3% primarily as a result of shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock units and our employees’ participation in the employee stock purchase plan.

Notes:

 

(1) In thousands

Account Presentation Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to account presentation services revenues, which increased 25%, or $1.7 million, to $8.4 million. The increase is primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in hosting fees and $0.2 million increase in user fees and a $0.2 million increase in license fees.

Payment Services. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to payment services revenues, which increased 0%, or $0.4 million, to $86.0 million. The increase is primarily due to a $4.5 million increase in transaction fees offset by a $4.2 million decrease in user fees.

Relationship Management Services. Primarily composed of revenues from the Banking segment, relationship management services revenues decreased 20%, or $1.3 million to $5.2 million due to a $0.3 million decrease in new user set up fees, $0.2 million decrease in revenues from marketing programs, $0.1 million decrease in license fees and a $0.6 million decrease in other user and license fees.

Professional Services and Other. Both the Banking and eCommerce segments contribute to professional services and other revenues, which increased $3.5 million, or 27%. The increase is due to a $0.6 million increase in cancellation fees, a $1.7 million increase in professional service fees, a $0.4 million increase in license fees, $0.3 million increase in user fees for ancillary services and a $0.4 million increase in implementation fees.

Notes:

 

(1) In thousands except for per share amounts.

Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues encompass the direct expenses associated with providing our services. These expenses include telecommunications, payment processing, systems operations, customer service, implementation and professional services work. Costs of revenues increased $5.6 million, or 10%, to $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to increases in interchange fees of $4.6 million, increased repair and maintenance costs of $0.6 million and increased data communication costs of $0.5 million.

 

24


Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 48% in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries for executive, administrative and financial personnel, consulting expenses and facilities costs such as office leases, insurance and depreciation. General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million, or 16%, to $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase in legal fees of $2.5 million and an increase in employee bonus of $1.5 million offset by a decrease in consultant costs of $0.4 million.

Reserve for potential legal liability. In 2011, the Company accrued $7.7 million to reflect a jury award, statutory interest and estimate of legal fees which may be recoverable by the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew P. Lawlor, related to a lawsuit he filed against the Company.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses include salaries and commissions paid to sales and client services personnel and other costs incurred in selling our services and products. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million, or 3%, to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is due to increased employee compensation of approximately $0.5 million.

Systems and Development. Systems and development expenses include salaries, consulting fees and all other expenses incurred in supporting the research and development of new services and products and new technology to enhance existing products. Systems and development expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 7%, to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is due to an increase in consultant costs of $0.2 million, an increase of capitalized software costs of $1.1 million, an increase in implementation costs of $0.4 million and an increase in India costs of $0.2 million offset by lower employee compensation of $1.5 million.

(Loss) Income from Operations. (Loss) income from operations decreased $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest Income. Interest income remained constant for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest and Other (Expense) Income. Interest and other expense decreased by $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to reduced interest payments on the 2007 Notes of approximately $0.3 million and a increase in realized gains of $0.1 million offset by a decrease in the fair value of the theoretical swap derivative which increased other expense by approximately $1.1 million.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision. We recognized tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of $6.2 million of loss before income taxes generated during the first nine months of 2011. Our effective tax rate for the period was 38.5%. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to permanent differences, state taxes, and a stock based compensation adjustment of approximately $0.2 million relating to the difference between the expected deduction from stock based compensation which is based upon the fair value of the award at the date of issuance and the actual deduction taken which is based upon the fair value of the award at the time the award is exercised or vests.

Preferred Stock Accretion. The accretion related to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued on July 3, 2006 increased 4% due to compounding of dividends.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders. Net loss available to common stockholders increased $9.0 million to net loss of $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net loss of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Basic and diluted net loss available to common stockholders per share was $0.35 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders per share of $0.07 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Basic and diluted shares outstanding increased by 3% primarily as a result of shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock units and our employees’ participation in the employee stock purchase plan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represented a $6.0 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared to the same period in the prior year, which was primarily the result of a decrease in net income of $8.7 million and a decrease to deferred tax benefits of $6.5 million offset by the impact of the reserve for potential legal liability of $7.7 million and a decrease in the change in the fair value of the theoretical swap derivative of $1.1 million.

Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5.6 million, which was the result of capital expenditures.

Net cash used by financing activities was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was primarily the result of $14.5 million of payments on our 2007 Notes and $0.8 million of debt issuance costs offset by $0.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Given continuing economic uncertainty and interest rate volatility, we could experience unforeseeable impacts on our results of operations, cash flows, ability to meet debt and other contractual requirements, and other items in future periods. While there can be no guarantees as to outcome, we have developed a contingent plan to address the negative effects of these uncertainties, if they occur.

 

25


Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including our need to finance any future acquisitions, the timing of research and product development efforts and the expansion of our marketing efforts. We expect to continue to expend significant amounts on expansion of facility infrastructure, ongoing research and development, computer and related equipment, and personnel.

The Company’s current cash balance and projected cash flows are not sufficient to repay both the $22.3 million in 2007 Notes due in 2013 and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock redemption value of 115% of the face value of the stock plus accrued dividends and escalation accrual putable on or after July 3, 2013, and the reserve for potential legal liability should it become payable . If we are unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate our Preferred security, there can be no assurance that we will be able to make the necessary payments.

 

26


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We invest primarily in short-term, investment grade, marketable government, corporate, and mortgage-backed debt securities. Our interest income is most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and given the short-term nature of our investments, our exposure to interest rate risk is not material. We do not have operations subject to risks of foreign currency fluctuations, nor do we use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes as they affect our outstanding senior secured notes, or 2007 Notes. The interest rate on our 2007 Notes varies based on LIBOR and, consequently, our interest expense could fluctuate with changes in the LIBOR rate through the maturity date of the senior secured note.

We earn float interest in clearing accounts that hold funds collected from end-users until they are disbursed to receiving merchants or financial institutions. The float interest we earn on these clearing accounts is considered in our determination of the fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for our services. As such, the float interest earned is classified as payment services revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This float interest revenue is exposed to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates as it relates to the balances of these clearing accounts. The float interest totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. If there was a change in interest rates of one percent as of September 30, 2011, revenues associated with float interest would have increased by approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and for internal controls over financial reporting.

(a) As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management including our CEO and CFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

(b) There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 (as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d)) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instance of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We previously reported on the verdict in the litigation of Lawlor vs. Online Resources Corporation in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. In the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the court in the Lawlor case awarded attorney’s fees to Lawlor. The amount of such fees was previously reserved in connection with the verdict. Upon entry of a final judgment in the case, we intend to seek an appeal to set aside the verdict and the award of attorney’s fees.

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in other legal actions. See Note 13 to our financial statements as to several other pending cases. Our current assessment of the pending legal actions referenced in Note 13, other than the Lawlor case, has caused us to conclude that none of the other actions is material. Moreover, we have determined no need exists to record a loss provision for any of these other actions. It is possible, however, that subsequent events in any litigation may cause us to reconsider our assessments and determinations, including the need to increase loss provisions, unless we believe that we have obtained adequate insurance coverage, rights to indemnification, or where appropriate, have previously established adequate reserves.

 

27


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2011 except for the following:

If we are unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate our Preferred security, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. The Company’s current cash balance and projected cash flows are not sufficient to repay both the $22.3 million in 2007 Notes due in 2013 and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock redemption value of 115% of the face value of the stock plus accrued dividends and escalation accrual putable on or after July 3, 2013, and the reserve for potential legal liability should it become payable. If we are unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate our Preferred security, there can be no assurance that we will be able to make the necessary payments in accordance with our obligations thereunder.

If we are unable to gain a reversal of the recent jury verdict obtained against us by our former chairman and chief executive officer, our financial conditions may be adversely affected and we may be required to seek additional financing to satisfy our need for available funds.

In April 2011 Matthew P. Lawlor, our former chairman and chief executive officer, obtained a jury verdict against us on several of the claims contained in his employment-related lawsuit against the Company. Mr. Lawlor was awarded $5.3 million in damages plus pre-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees. As a result of this jury verdict, we have recorded an aggregate reserve of $7.7 million. We plan to proceed with an appeal of the verdict once a final judgment is entered. If we are unable to obtain the right to appeal or have the final judgment in the case reversed on appeal, the judgment may become payable at a time when we have insufficient working capital or available funds. In that case, we may be required to seek additional funds that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Under such circumstances, our financial condition could be adversely affected.
