Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial Data” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Background and Overview

We provide integrated computer systems for in-house and outsourced data processing to commercial banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. We have developed and acquired banking and credit union application software systems that we market, together with compatible computer hardware, to these financial institutions. We also perform data conversion and software implementation services for our systems and provide continuing customer support services after the systems are implemented. For our customers who prefer not to make an up-front capital investment in software and hardware, we provide our full range of products and services on an outsourced basis through our eight data centers in six physical locations and 10 item-processing centers located throughout the United States.

A detailed discussion of the major components of the results of operations follows. All dollar amounts are in thousands and discussions compare fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2009 and compare fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2008.

We derive revenues from three primary sources:

software licenses;

support and service fees, which include implementation services; and

hardware sales, which includes all non-software remarketed products.

Over the last five fiscal years, our revenues have grown from $590,877 in fiscal 2006 to $836,586 in fiscal 2010. Income from continuing operations has grown from $90,863 in fiscal 2006 to $117,870 in fiscal 2010. This growth has resulted primarily from internal expansion supplemented by strategic acquisitions, allowing us to develop and acquire new products and services for approximately 11,200 customers who utilize our software systems or services as of June 30, 2010.

Since the start of fiscal 2008, we have completed 5 acquisitions. All of these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the acquired companies from their respective acquisition dates.

License revenue represents the sale and delivery of application software systems contracted with us by the customer. We license our proprietary software products under standard license agreements that typically provide the customer with a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software on a single computer and for a single financial institution location.

Support and services fees are generated from implementation services contracted with us by the customer, ongoing support services to assist the customer in operating the systems and to enhance and update the software, and from providing outsourced data processing services and Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”) support services, which includes ATM and debit card transaction processing, online bill payment services, remote deposit capture and transaction processing services. Outsourcing services are performed through our data and item processing centers. Revenues from outsourced item and data processing and EFT support services are primarily derived from monthly usage or transaction fees typically under five-year service contracts with our customers.

Cost of license fees represents the third party vendor costs associated with license fee revenue.

Cost of services represents costs associated with conversion and implementation efforts, ongoing support for our in-house customers, operation of our data and item processing centers providing services for our outsourced customers, EFT services, and direct operation costs.

We have entered into remarketing agreements with several hardware manufacturers under which we sell computer hardware and related services to our customers. Cost of hardware consists of the direct and related costs of purchasing the equipment from the manufacturers and delivery to our customers.

We have two business segments: bank systems and services and credit union systems and services. The respective segments include all related license, support and service, and hardware sales along with the related cost of sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 2010 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2009

In fiscal 2010, revenues increased 12% or $90,993 compared to the prior year due primarily to the current year acquisition of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. (“GFSI”), PEMCO Technology Services, Inc. (“PTSI”) and iPay Technologies Holding Company, LLC (“iPay”). During fiscal 2010, the Company’s management engaged in various cost-cutting efforts that, when combined with the growth in revenue, resulted in a 14% increase in net income.

The US financial crisis is a primary concern at this time as it affects our customers and our industry. The profits of many financial institutions have decreased and this has resulted in some reduction of demand for new products and services. We remain cautiously optimistic, however, with increasing portions of our business coming from recurring revenue, increases in backlog and an encouraging sales pipeline in specific areas. Our customers will continue to face regulatory and operational challenges which our products and services address, and in these times they have an even greater need for some of our solutions that directly address institutional profitability and efficiency. We face these times with a strong balance sheet and an unwavering commitment to superior customer service, and we believe that we are well positioned to address current opportunities as well as those which will arise when the economic rebound strengthens. Our cautious optimism has been expressed through our acquisitions of GFSI, PTSI and iPay during the year ended June 30, 2010. These are the three largest acquisitions in our Company’s history and present us with opportunities to extend our customer base and produce returns for our stockholders.

REVENUE


*License Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

License	$ 52,225	$ 58,434	-11%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	8%

License revenue represents the delivery and acceptance of application software systems contracted with us by the customer. We license our proprietary software products under standard license agreements that typically provide the customer with a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software on a single computer and for a single financial institution location.

The decrease in license revenue for the current year is due mostly to decreases in complementary product license revenue compared to the prior year. Overall, license revenue from our core software products were up 16% from the prior year. In addition, our acquisition of GFSI in October added $5,638 in license revenue during fiscal 2010. These gains were more than offset by decreases in license revenue for most of our complementary software products. These decreases in complementary software product license revenue result from the recent economic downturn, as we have seen some of our customers postpone making non-essential capital investments in technology, including software. In addition, our customers are often electing to contract for our products via outsourced delivery rather than a traditional license agreement. Our outsourced delivery does not require our customers to make a large, up-front capital investment in license fees or hardware.


*Support and Service Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

Support and service	$ 720,504	$ 614,242	+17%
Percentage of total revenue	86%	82%


Year Over Year Change	$ Change	% Change

In-House Support & Other Services	$ 17,952	7%
EFT Support	67,451	45%
Outsourcing Services	15,223	11%
Implementation Services	5,636	10%
Total Increase	$106,262

Support and service revenues are generated from implementation services (including conversion, installation, configuration and training), annual support to assist the customer in operating their systems and to enhance and update the software, outsourced data processing services and EFT Support services.

There was strong growth in all support and service revenue components in fiscal 2010. In-house support and other services increased mostly as a result of the acquisition of GFSI, which added revenue of $15,527 since acquisition.

EFT support experienced the largest percentage growth. Most of the revenue growth in EFT is attributable to the acquisition of GFSI, PTSI and iPay. Combined, the acquisitions added $55,020 to this line during the current year. However, organic revenue growth within EFT support continues to be strong with an increase of 8% over the prior fiscal year.

Outsourcing services for banks and credit unions continue to drive revenue growth as customers continue to choose outsourcing for the delivery of our solutions. We expect the trend towards outsourced product delivery to benefit outsourcing services revenue for the foreseeable future.

The increase in implementation services revenue is primarily related to the acquisition of GFSI, which added $4,452 in implementation revenue for the current year.


*Hardware Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

Hardware	$ 63,857	$ 72,917	-12%
Percentage of total revenue	8%	10%

The Company has entered into remarketing agreements with several hardware manufacturers under which we sell computer hardware, hardware maintenance and related services to our customers. Revenue related to hardware sales is recognized when the hardware is shipped to our customers.

Hardware revenue decreased mainly due to a decrease in the number of hardware systems and components delivered in the current year compared to a year ago. Hardware revenue has been generally commensurate with the trends in license revenue; however, while hardware revenue has benefitted from the acquisition of GFSI, it has not benefitted to the same degree as license revenue. GFSI added hardware revenue of $1,301 since its acquisition.

COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of license represents the cost of software from third party vendors through remarketing agreements. These costs are recognized when license revenue is recognized. Cost of support and service represents costs associated with conversion and implementation efforts, ongoing support for our in-house customers, operation of our data and item centers providing services for our outsourced customers, EFT processing services and direct operating costs. These costs are recognized as they are incurred. Cost of hardware consists of the direct and related costs of purchasing the equipment from the manufacturers and delivery to our customers. These costs are recognized at the same time as the related hardware revenue is recognized. Ongoing operating costs to provide support to our customers are recognized as they are incurred.


*Cost of Sales and Gross Profit*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

Cost of License	$ 5,827	$ 6,885	-15%
Percentage of total revenue	1%	1%

License Gross Profit	$ 46,398	$ 51,549	-10%
Gross Profit Margin	89%	88%

Cost of support and service	$ 438,476	$ 385,837	+14%
Percentage of total revenue	52%	52%

Support and Service Gross Profit	$ 282,028	$ 228,405	+23%
Gross Profit Margin	39%	37%

Cost of hardware	$ 47,163	$ 53,472	-12%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	7%

Hardware Gross Profit	$ 16,694	$ 19,445	-14%
Gross Profit Margin	26%	27%

TOTAL COST OF SALES	$ 491,466	$ 446,194	+10%
Percentage of total revenue	59%	60%

TOTAL GROSS PROFIT	$ 345,120	$ 299,399	+15%
Gross Profit Margin	41%	40%

The current year decrease in cost of license is generally commensurate with the related trends in license revenue. Cost of license depends greatly on third party reseller agreement software vendor costs. During the current year, these costs have decreased as a percentage of license revenue as complementary software sales that have associated third party vendor costs have decreased.

Cost of support and service increased for the year commensurate with the increase in support and services revenue. Combined, the companies acquired during fiscal 2010 added $50,480 to this line. Support and services gross profit margin has increased for the year due to cost control measures undertaken by the Company and as EFT support services, with higher margins than other components of Support and services revenue, have become a larger percentage of that revenue line.

Cost of hardware has fluctuated in line with hardware revenue for the current year, with slightly leaner margins resulting from a shift in sales mix.

OPERATING EXPENSES


*Selling and Marketing*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

Selling and marketing	$ 60,875	$ 54,931	+11%
Percentage of total revenue	7%	7%

Dedicated sales forces, inside sales teams, technical sales support teams and channel partners conduct our sales efforts for our two market segments, and are overseen by regional sales managers. Our sales executives are responsible for pursuing lead generation activities for new core customers. Our account executives nurture long-term relationships with our client base and cross sell our many complementary products and services.

For the 2010 fiscal year, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to current year acquisitions, which added $10,272 to this line during the current year. The acquisition-related increases were partially offset by decreases in selling and marketing personnel costs throughout the rest of the Company, which were the result of cost-cutting measures undertaken by management.


*Research and Development*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

Research and development	$ 50,820	$ 42,901	+18%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	6%

We devote significant effort and expense to develop new software, service products and continually upgrade and enhance our existing offerings. Typically, we upgrade our various core and complementary software applications once per year. We believe our research and development efforts are highly efficient because of the extensive experience of our research and development staff and because our product development is highly customer-driven.

Research and development expenses increased for the current year due primarily to current year acquisitions, which added $8,126 in expense during fiscal 2010.


*General and Administrative*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2010	2009

General and administrative	$ 51,172	$ 43,681	+17%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	6%

General and administrative costs include all expenses related to finance, legal, human resources, plus all administrative costs. General and administrative expenses increased for the year due to current year acquisitions, including costs directly related to the acquisition transactions. Combined, the acquired companies added $7,700 of general and administrative costs during fiscal 2010, including $4,237 of one-time acquisition transaction costs.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest income decreased 79% from $781 to $161 due primarily to lower interest rates on invested balances. Interest expense increased 19% from $1,357 to $1,618 due to primarily to borrowings made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 to consummate the acquisition of iPay.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $62,926 or 34.8% of income before income taxes in fiscal 2010 compared with $54,208 or 34.5% of income before income taxes fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to the expiration of the Research and Experimentation Credit (“R&E Credit”), effective January 1, 2010, as well as increases in the rate at which deferred tax liabilities are expected to reverse in future years. These increases were mostly offset by additional benefits received through an extensive analysis of the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (IRC Section 199).

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Income from continuing operations increased, moving from $103,102, or $1.22 per diluted share in fiscal 2009 to $117,870, or $1.38 per diluted share in fiscal 2010.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There was no gain or loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2010 or 2009.

FISCAL 2009 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2008

In fiscal 2009, revenues remained fairly even compared to the prior year as growth in Support and services revenue was offset by decreases in license and hardware revenue. This continuing shift in sales mix resulted in slightly leaner gross and operating margins. As a result, revenue that was consistent with the prior year yielded income from continuing operations that was down 2% in comparison to fiscal 2008.

The US financial crisis is a primary concern at this time as it threatens our customers and our industry. The profits of many financial institutions have decreased and this has resulted in some reduction of demand for new products and services. We remain cautiously optimistic, however, with increasing portions of our business coming from recurring revenue, increases in backlog and encouraging sales pipeline in specific areas. Our customers will continue to face regulatory and operational challenges which our products and services address, and in these times have an even greater need for some of our solutions that directly address institutional profitability and efficiency. We face these uncertain times with a strong balance sheet and an unwavering commitment to superior customer service, and we believe that we are well positioned to address current opportunities as well as those which will arise when the economic rebound occurs.

REVENUE


*License Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

License	$ 58,434	$ 73,553	-21%
Percentage of total revenue	8%	10%

As a result of the current economic downturn, we have seen some of our customers postpone making large capital investments in technology, including software. In addition, our customers are often electing to contract for our products via an outsourced delivery rather than a traditional license agreement. Our outsourced delivery does not require our customers to make a large, up-front capital investment in license fees or hardware. During fiscal 2009, our core software products either had a decrease in license revenue or they remained even compared to the prior year. In particular, Episys®, our flagship core solution for credit unions experienced a decrease. Episys revenue has decreased as we have seen a decrease in the average size of contracts delivered during the year. Those contracts were smaller on average since they were made with smaller credit unions. Our license revenues for most of our complementary software solutions are also down compared to the prior year with the exception of certain of our item and document imaging solutions, particularly Synergy Enterprise Content Management, which has experienced 31% growth over the prior year.


*Support and Service Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

Support and service	$ 614,242	$ 580,334	+6%
Percentage of total revenue	82%	78%


Year Over Year Change	$ Change	% Change

In-House Support & Other Services	$ 19,692	8%
EFT Support	15,699	12%
Outsourcing Services	4,059	3%
Implementation Services	(5,542)	-9%
Total Increase	$ 33,908

There was strong growth in most support and service revenue components in fiscal 2009. In-house support and other services increased partially as a result of license agreements for which the implementations were completed during the latest twelve months. In addition, because annual maintenance fees are based on supported institutions’ asset size, in-house support revenues increase as our customers’ assets grow.

EFT support, including ATM and debit card transaction processing, online bill payment services, remote deposit capture and transaction processing services, experienced the largest percentage growth as we have seen strong growth in our bill pay and enterprise payment solutions. In addition, we have seen continuing expansion of our customer basis for EFT support as a whole.

Overall, Outsourcing services revenue grew only slightly. However, our core data processing revenue increased over 8% year-to-date compared to last year as our customers continue to choose outsourcing for the delivery of our solutions. These gains have been largely offset by a decrease in de-conversion revenue and in item processing revenue. We expect the trend towards outsourced product delivery to benefit Outsourcing services revenue; however, we also expect item-processing revenue to continue to decline as fewer paper checks are processed in favor of check images and remote deposit capture.

The decrease in implementation services revenue is related to fewer convert/merger implementations for our bank customers due to the slowdown in bank merger and acquisition activity in the current market environment.


*Hardware Revenue*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

Hardware	$ 72,917	$ 89,039	-18%
Percentage of total revenue	10%	12%

Hardware revenue decreased mainly due to a decrease in the number of hardware systems and components delivered in the current year compared to a year ago. Hardware revenue has been negatively impacted by the decrease in the number of implementations of licensed core systems and the increase in outsourcing contracts, which typically do not include hardware. Additionally, during the prior fiscal year, hardware revenue was increased by increased IBM System i upgrades, which have not occurred at the same level in the current fiscal year.

COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT


*Cost of Sales and Gross Profit*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

Cost of License	$ 6,885	$ 6,698	+3%
Percentage of total revenue	<1%	<1%

License Gross Profit	$ 51,549	$ 66,855	-23%
Gross Profit Margin	88%	91%

Cost of support and service	$ 385,837	$ 364,140	+6%
Percentage of total revenue	52%	49%

Support and Service Gross Profit	$ 228,405	$ 216,194	+6%
Gross Profit Margin	37%	37%

Cost of hardware	$ 53,472	$ 64,862	-18%
Percentage of total revenue	7%	9%

Hardware Gross Profit	$ 19,445	$ 24,177	-20%
Gross Profit Margin	27%	27%

TOTAL COST OF SALES	$ 446,194	$ 435,700	+2%
Percentage of total revenue	60%	59%

TOTAL GROSS PROFIT	$ 299,399	$ 307,226	-3%
Gross Profit Margin	40%	41%

Cost of license increased for the fiscal year due to greater third party reseller agreement software vendor costs. These costs have led to gross profit margin on license revenue being lower than the prior year. We expect this impact of third party software to continue to result in license gross profit margins that are lower than in prior years as third party software becomes a larger portion of our total license revenue.

Cost of support and service increased for the year commensurate with an increase in support and service revenue, which led to gross profit margin consistent with that realized in the prior year.

Cost of hardware decreased for the year in line with the decrease in hardware revenue. Hardware gross profit margin remained at 27% for both years.

OPERATING EXPENSES


*Selling and Marketing*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

Selling and marketing	$ 54,931	$ 55,916	-2%
Percentage of total revenue	7%	8%

For the 2009 fiscal year, the selling and marketing expenses decrease was due to lower marketing expenses, including lower product promotion and trade show expenses, than were incurred in the prior year. Overall, Selling and marketing expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenue in comparison to a year ago. Commission expense has remained level compared to last year due to lower license and hardware revenues, partially offset by growth in support and service revenue.


*Research and Development*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

Research and development	$ 42,901	$ 43,326	-1%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	6%

Research and development expenses decreased slightly for fiscal year 2009 primarily due to cost control measures undertaken by the Company. These measures included a reduction in the use of consultants and independent contractors compared to last year. As a result of these efforts, Research and development expenses have remained level at 6% of total revenue.


*General and Administrative*
	Year Ended June 30,		% Change
	2009	2008

General and administrative	$ 43,681	$ 43,775	-0%
Percentage of total revenue	6%	6%

General and administrative costs include all expenses related to finance, legal, human resources, plus all administrative costs. General and administrative expense have remained level for the current year compared to prior year, as cost control measures have slowed the growth in personnel costs and reduced travel and other operating expenses. General and administrative expenses have remained a consistent 6% of total revenue for both years.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest income decreased 64% from $2,145 to $781 due primarily to lower average invested balances coupled with lower interest rates on invested balances. Interest expense decreased 30% from $1,928 to $1,357 due to lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings on the revolving bank credit facilities.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $54,208 or 34.5% of income before income taxes in fiscal 2009 compared with $59,139 or 36.0% of income before income taxes fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the renewal of the Research and Experimentation Credit (“R&E Credit”), during fiscal year 2009, retroactive to January 1, 2008. Renewal of this credit had a significant tax benefit in fiscal year 2009 since retroactive renewal required the recording of an additional six months of credit during fiscal year 2009 related to fiscal year 2008.

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Income from continuing operations decreased slightly, moving from $105,287, or $1.17 per diluted share in fiscal 2008 to $103,102, or $1.22 per diluted share in fiscal 2009.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There was no gain or loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2009. Loss on discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $1,065 for fiscal 2008. The loss included a loss on the sale of Banc Insurance Services, Inc. and Banc Insurance Agency, Inc. of $2,718, and a $1,457 loss on the operations of the two companies. The income tax benefit on the loss amount was $3,110.

BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION


*Bank Systems and Services*
	2010	% Change	2009	% Change	2008

Revenue	$672,282	9%	$617,711	+<1%	$616,390
Gross Profit	$283,100	14%	$247,812	-3%	$255,870

Gross Profit Margin	42%		40%		42%

In fiscal 2010, revenue increased 9% overall in the bank systems and services business segment compared to the prior year. Most of the increase is due to the acquisition of GFSI, which added $44,794 of revenue in the current year. In addition, EFT support experienced organic revenue growth of nearly 10% over the prior year and Data Center Maintenance had organic growth of 12% within the bank systems and services business segment. Gross profit margin increased from the prior year primarily due to cost control measures, particularly related to personnel costs, undertaken by management during fiscal 2010.

In fiscal 2009, revenue remained essentially even in the bank systems and services business segment compared to the prior year. Support and service revenue increased for most lines, particularly EFT support which experienced 9% revenue growth and in-house support which experienced 8% revenue growth. The growth in these components was offset by a 14% decrease in license revenue and a 15% decrease in hardware revenue. Gross profit margin decreased as the mix of revenue shifted away from license revenue (which carries the largest margins) toward support and service revenue. Hardware profit margins remained even compared to fiscal 2008.


*Credit Union Systems and Services*
	2010	% Change	2009	% Change	2008

Revenue	$164,304	28%	$127,882	+1%	$126,536
Gross Profit	$62,020	20%	$51,587	+<1%	$51,356

Gross Profit Margin	38%		40%		41%

In fiscal 2010, revenues in the credit union systems and services business segment increased 28% from fiscal 2009. Support and service revenue, which is the largest component of total revenues for the credit union segment, experienced strong growth in most revenue components. In particular, EFT Support experienced 163% revenue growth over the prior year due primarily to the acquisition of PTSI, which added revenue of $33,839 to current year revenue. Gross profit margins have decreased from the prior year as license revenue, which carries the largest margins, have decreased as a percentage of total revenue.

In fiscal 2009, revenues in the credit union systems and services business segment increased 1% from fiscal 2008. Support and service revenue, which is the largest component of total revenues for the credit union segment, experienced strong growth in all revenue components and 18 percent growth overall. In particular, EFT Support experienced 32% revenue growth over the prior year. The growth in Support and service revenue was offset by decreases in both license and hardware revenue. Gross profit in this business segment remained even in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically generated positive cash flow from operations and have generally used funds generated from operations and short-term borrowings on our revolving credit facility to meet capital requirements. We expect this trend to continue in the future.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $125,518 at June 30, 2010 from $118,251 at June 30, 2009.

The following table summarizes net cash from operating activities in the statement of cash flows:


	Year ended June 30,
	2010	2009	2008

Net income	$117,870	$ 103,102	$ 104,222
Non-cash expenses	92,317	74,397	70,420
Change in receivables	(1,539)	21,214	(2,913)
Change in deferred revenue	10,775	21,943	5,100
Change in other assets and liabilities	(725)	(14,068)	4,172

Net cash from operating activities	$218,698	$ 206,588	$ 181,001

Cash provided by operations increased $12,110 to $218,698 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $206,588 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to increase in net income.

Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 2010 was $505,715 and includes a net cash outlay for acquisitions of $426,652, capital expenditures of $54,509, and capitalized software development of $25,586. During fiscal 2009, cash used in investing activities was $59,227 and included contingent consideration paid on prior years’ acquisitions of $3,027. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 were $31,562 and cash used in the development of software was $24,684.

Net cash from financing activities for the current fiscal year was $294,284 and includes $303,160 net borrowing on our credit facilities, proceeds of $28,522 from the exercise of stock options and the sale of common stock (through the employee stock purchase plan) and $661 excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. Cash from financing activities was partially offset by the payment of dividends of $30,461 and debt acquisition costs of $7,598. During fiscal 2009, net cash used in financing activities for the current fiscal year was $94,675 and includes the repurchase of 3,106 shares of our common stock for $58,405, the payment of dividends of $26,903 and $13,489 net repayment on our revolving credit facilities. Cash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds of $3,773 from the exercise of stock options and the sale of common stock (through the employee stock purchase plan) and $349 excess tax benefits from stock option exercises.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had negative working capital of $53,883; however, the largest component of current liabilities was deferred revenue of $264,219, which primarily relates to our annual in-house maintenance agreements. The cash outlay necessary to provide the services related to these deferred revenues is significantly less than this recorded balance. In addition, we continue to have access to unused lines of credit in excess of $40,000 and continue to generate substantial cash inflows from operations. Therefore, we do not anticipate any liquidity problems arising from this condition.

US financial markets and many of the largest US financial institutions have been shaken by negative developments over the last two years in the mortgage markets and the general economy. While the effects of these events continue to impact our customers, we have not experienced any significant issues with our current collection efforts, and we believe that any future impact to our liquidity would be minimized by our access to available lines of credit.

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. Under this authorization, the Company may finance its share repurchases with available cash reserves of short-term borrowings on its existing credit facility. The share repurchase program does not include specific price targets or timetables and may be suspended at any time. At June 30, 2010, there were 14,407 shares in treasury stock and the Company had the remaining authority to repurchase up to 5,584 additional shares. The total cost of treasury shares at June 30, 2010 is $309,585.

On August 23, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.095 per share on its common stock payable on September 22, 2010, to stockholders of record on September 7, 2010. Current funds from operations are adequate for this purpose. The Board has indicated that it plans to continue paying dividends as long as the Company’s financial picture continues to be favorable.

The Company renewed an unsecured bank credit line on April 29, 2010 which provides for funding of up to $5,000 and bears interest at the prime rate less 1% (2.25% at June 30, 2010). The credit line was renewed through April 29, 2012. At June 30, 2010, $762 was outstanding.

The Company renewed a bank credit line on March 7, 2010 which provides for funding of up to $8,000 and bears interest at the Federal Reserve Board’s prime rate (3.25% at June 30, 2010). The credit line expires March 7, 2011 and is secured by $1,000 of investments. At June 30, 2010, no amount was outstanding.

The Company has entered into a bank credit facility agreement that includes a revolving loan, a term loan and a bullet term loan. The revolving loan allows short-term borrowings of up to $150,000, which may be increased by the Company at any time until maturity to $250,000. The revolving loan terminates June 4, 2015. At June 30, 2010, the outstanding revolving loan balance was $120,000. The term loan has an original principal balance of $150,000, with quarterly principal payments of $5,625 beginning on September 30, 2011, and the remaining balance due June 4, 2015. The bullet term loan had an original principal balance of $100,000. The full balance, which would have been due on December 4, 2010, was paid in full on July 8, 2010 as set forth in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Item 8). Each of the loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to (a) a rate based on LIBOR or (b) an alternate base rate (the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%), plus an applicable percentage in each case determined by the Company's leverage ratio. The outstanding balances bear interest at a weighted average rate of 2.99%. The loans are secured by pledges of capital stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company. The loans are also guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The credit facility is subject to various financial covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios as defined in the agreement. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company has entered into various capital lease obligations for the use of certain computer equipment. Included in property and equipment are related assets of $8,872. At June 30, 2010, $5,689 was outstanding, of which $4,380 will be maturing in the next twelve months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

At June 30, 2010 the Company’s total off balance sheet contractual obligations were $36,935. This balance consists of $27,228 of long-term operating leases for various facilities and equipment which expire from 2011 to 2017 and the remaining $9,707 is for purchase commitments related to property and equipment, particularly for contractual obligations related to the on-going construction of new facilities. The table excludes $7,548 of liabilities for uncertain tax positions as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlement.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS No. 141 and has since been incorporated into the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as ASC 805-10. ASC 805-10 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Relative to SFAS 141(R), the FASB issued FSP 141(R)-1 on April 1, 2009, which is now incorporated in ASC 805-20. ASC 805-20 eliminates the requirement under FAS 141(R) to record assets and liabilities at the acquisition date for noncontractual contingencies at fair value where it is deemed “more-likely-than-not” that an asset or liability would result. Under ASC 805-20, such assets and liabilities would only need to be recorded where the fair value can be determined during the measurement period or where it is probable that an asset or liability exists at the acquisition date and the amount of fair value can be reasonably determined. ASC 805-10 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” which is now incorporated into ASC 350-30. This position amends ASC 350 regarding the factors that should be considered in developing the useful lives for intangible assets with renewal or extension provisions. ASC 350-30 requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, regardless of whether those arrangements have explicit renewal or extension provisions, when determining the useful life of an intangible asset. In the absence of such experience, an entity shall consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension, adjusted for entity-specific factors. ASC 350-30 also requires an entity to disclose information regarding the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with an intangible asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the agreement. ASC 350-30 is effective for qualifying intangible assets acquired by the Company on or after July 1, 2009. The application of FSP142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” which is now incorporated as ASC 105-10 and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). ASC 105-10 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105-10 was effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, but it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments upon historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates or assumptions could result in a material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

We have identified several critical accounting estimates. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both: (a) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (b) the impact of changes in the estimates and assumptions would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with guidance provided within Staff Accounting Bulletins issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The application of these pronouncements requires judgment, including whether a software arrangement includes multiple elements, whether any elements are essential to the functionality of any other elements, and whether vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers receive certain elements of our products over time. Changes to the elements in a software arrangement or in our ability to identify VSOE for those elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue reflected in the financial statements.

License Fee Revenue. For software license agreements that do not require significant modification or customization of the software, the Company recognizes software license revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the license fee is fixed and determinable and collection is probable. The Company’s software license agreements generally include multiple products and services or “elements.” None of these elements alone are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the other elements. Generally accepted accounting principles require revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on VSOE of fair value. Fair value is determined for license fees based upon the price charged when sold separately. In the event that we determine that VSOE does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements of a software arrangement, but does exist for all of the undelivered elements, revenue is recognized the residual method allowed by current accounting pronouncements. Under the residual method, a residual amount of the total arrangement fee is recognized as revenue for the delivered elements after the established fair value of all undelivered elements has been deducted.

Support and Service Fee Revenue. Implementation services are generally for installation, implementation, and configuration of our systems and for training of our customer’s employees. These services are not considered essential to the functionality of the related software. VSOE of fair value is established by pricing used when these services are sold separately. Generally, revenue is recognized when services are completed. On certain larger implementations, revenue is recognized based on milestones during the implementation. Milestones are triggered by tasks completed or based on direct labor hours.

Maintenance support revenue is recognized pro-rata over the contract period, typically one year. VSOE of fair value is determined based on contract renewal rates.

Outsourced data processing services and ATM, debit card, and other transaction processing services revenues are recognized in the month the transactions were processed or the services were rendered.

Hardware Revenue: Hardware revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer, when title and risk of loss are transferred. In most cases, we do not stock in inventory the hardware products we sell, but arrange for third-party suppliers to drop-ship the products to our customers on our behalf. Some of our hardware revenues are derived under “arrangements” as defined within U.S. GAAP. To the extent hardware revenue is part of such an arrangement and is not deemed essential to the functionality of any of the other elements to the arrangement, it is recognized based on VSOE of fair value at the time of delivery. The Company also remarkets maintenance contracts on hardware to our customers. Hardware maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the agreement period.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

The calculation of depreciation and amortization expense is based on the estimated economic lives of the underlying property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, which have been examined for their useful life and determined that no impairment exists. We believe it is unlikely that any significant changes to the useful lives of our tangible and intangible assets will occur in the near term, but rapid changes in technology or changes in market conditions could result in revisions to such estimates that could materially affect the carrying value of these assets and the Company’s future consolidated operating results. All long lived assets are tested for valuation and potential impairment on a scheduled annual basis.

Capitalization of software development costs

We capitalize certain costs incurred to develop commercial software products and to develop or purchase internal-use software. Significant estimates and assumptions include: determining the appropriate period over which to amortize the capitalized costs based on the estimated useful lives, estimating the marketability of the commercial software products and related future revenues, and assessing the unamortized cost balances for impairment. For commercial software products, determining the appropriate amortization period is based on estimates of future revenues from sales of the products. We consider various factors to project marketability and future revenues, including an assessment of alternative solutions or products, current and historical demand for the product, and anticipated changes in technology that may make the product obsolete. A significant change in an estimate related to one or more software products could result in a material change to our results of operations.

Estimates used to determine current and deferred income taxes

We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. We also must determine the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets, and adjust any valuation allowances accordingly. Considerations include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, and historical and projected taxable income as well as tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. Valuation allowances are evaluated periodically and will be subject to change in each future reporting period as a result of changes in one or more of these factors. Also, liabilities for uncertain tax positions require significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. Changes in judgment as to recognition or measurement of tax positions can materially affect the estimate of the effective tax rate and consequently, affect our financial results.

Assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill

We account for our acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires estimates to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, including judgments to determine any acquired intangible assets such as customer-related intangibles, as well as assessments of the fair value of existing assets such as property and equipment. Liabilities acquired can include balances for litigation and other contingency reserves established prior to or at the time of acquisition, and require judgment in ascertaining a reasonable value. Third party valuation firms may be used to assist in the appraisal of certain assets and liabilities, but even those determinations would be based on significant estimates provided by us, such as forecasted revenues or profits on contract-related intangibles. Numerous factors are typically considered in the purchase accounting assessments, which are conducted by Company professionals from legal, finance, human resources, information systems, program management and other disciplines. Changes in assumptions and estimates of the acquired assets and liabilities would result in changes to the fair values, resulting in an offsetting change to the goodwill balance associated with the business acquired.

As goodwill is not amortized, goodwill balances are regularly assessed for potential impairment. Such assessments require an analysis of future cash flow projections as well as a determination of an appropriate discount rate to calculate present values. Cash flow projections are based on management-approved estimates, which involve the input of numerous Company professionals from finance, operations and program management. Key factors used in estimating future cash flows include assessments of labor and other direct costs on existing contracts, estimates of overhead costs and other indirect costs, and assessments of new business prospects and projected win rates. Significant changes in the estimates and assumptions used in purchase accounting and goodwill impairment testing can have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
