FIRST DATA CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of First Data Corporation (FDC or the Company) should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.

On September 24, 2007, the Company
was acquired through a merger transaction (the merger) with an entity controlled by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR or the sponsor). The merger resulted in the equity of FDC becoming
privately held. Details of the merger are more fully discussed in Note 3. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: predecessor (the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007) and
successor (the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008), which relate to the periods preceding the merger and the periods succeeding the merger, respectively. The Company applied purchase accounting to the opening balance sheet and
results of operations on September 25, 2007 as the merger occurred at the close of business on September 24, 2007. The merger resulted in a new basis of accounting beginning on September 25, 2007.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the successor and predecessor periods for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year due in part to the seasonality of certain business units.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Presentation

The Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation has historically been unclassified due to the short-term nature of its settlement obligations contrasted with the Companys ability to invest cash
awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. The Company repositioned the majority of its investment portfolio associated with cash awaiting settlement from long-term investments to short-term investments. As a result of the repositioning
of the portfolio such that a majority of the settlement assets and all settlement liabilities are short-term, the Company has changed to a classified balance sheet. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been revised to
conform to this presentation.

A new Chief Executive Officer, the Companys chief operating decision maker, was appointed as a result
of the September 24, 2007 merger with an affiliate of KKR. In connection with this change in leadership, changes were made to the Companys senior management and organization of the business. Effective January 1, 2008, the
Companys new Chief Executive Officer began making strategic and operating decisions with regards to assessing performance and allocating resources based on a new segment structure. Segment results for 2007 have been revised to reflect the new
structure. In connection with this segment realignment, the Company also reclassified certain transaction and processing service fee revenue components in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, primarily the prepaid business from Merchant
related services to Other services and the debit network business from Merchant related services to Card services. Additionally, consolidated expenses for 2007 have been revised to present certain
depreciation and amortization amounts as a separate component of expenses.

Official Check and Money Order Wind-down

In conjunction with the wind-down of the official check and money order business (included within the Integrated Payment Systems (IPS)
segment) and in the first quarter 2008, the Company repositioned its investment portfolio to principally taxable investments. As a result, the revenues and operating profit of the IPS segment are no longer stated on a pretax equivalent basis
effective as of January 1, 2008. The investment portfolio decreased from $12.6 billion at December 31, 2007 to $6.3 billion at June 30, 2008 due to the wind-down. The investment portfolio included approximately $541 million of student
loan auction rate securities as of June 30, 2008 compared to approximately $1,077 million as of December 31, 2007. The auction mechanism on these investments failed subsequent to December 31, 2007 so investments held at June 30,
2008 are not currently liquid; however, all of the securities are AAA rated, except for one AA rated and are collateralized by securitized student loans substantially guaranteed by

the United States Government. The Company has the ability and intent to hold them for an extended period during which the Company anticipates an auction
mechanism or an alternative liquidity vehicle will be established. Due to the lack of observable market activity for the Companys student loan auction rate securities, they have been valued based on comparison to similar securities for which
market data is available. The Company has recorded an unrealized loss of $12.1 million in Other Comprehensive Income which it attributes to limited liquidity rather than credit issues.

In July 2008, IPS agreed with The Western Union Company (Western Union) that on October 1, 2009 IPS will assign and transfer to
Western Union, among other things, certain assets and equipment used by IPS to issue retail money orders and an amount sufficient to satisfy all outstanding retail money orders. On the closing date, Western Union will assume
IPSs role as issuer of the retail money orders. The transfer will result in a significant decrease to the IPS settlement asset portfolio.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from its processing services as such services are performed. Revenue is
recorded net of certain costs such as credit and offline debit interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations which totaled $2,164.1 million and $1,829.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively and $4,089.2 million and $3,481.4 million for the comparable six-month periods. Debit network fees related to acquired PIN-based debit transactions are recognized in the Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other
revenue and expense lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The debit network fees related to acquired PIN-debit transactions charged by debit networks totaled $327.2 million and $254.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively and $613.1 million and $479.6 million for the comparable six-month periods.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 141(R), Business Combinations. The new standard will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions in the consolidated financial statements. It will require an acquirer to
recognize, at the acquisition date, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their full fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages (step acquisitions), the
acquirer will be required to remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. The acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will no
longer be included as part of the capitalized cost of the acquired entity but will be required to be accounted for separately in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statement clarifies the definition of a non-controlling (or minority) interest and
requires that non-controlling interests in subsidiaries be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position and requires that earnings attributed to the non-controlling interests be reported as part of
consolidated earnings and not as a separate component of income or expense. However, it will also require expanded disclosures of the attribution of consolidated earnings to the controlling and non-controlling interests on the face of the
consolidated income statement. SFAS No. 160 will require that changes in a parents controlling ownership interest, that do not result in a loss of control of the subsidiary, are accounted for as equity transactions among shareholders in
the consolidated entity therefore resulting in no gain or loss recognition in the income statement. Only when a subsidiary is deconsolidated will a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and will be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements that will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

The investment gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from the sale of
MasterCard stock. The derivative financial instruments gains and losses for the three and six month periods in 2008 were due most significantly to the mark-to-market adjustments for cross currency swaps, that are not designated as accounting hedges,
and certain interest rate swaps that were not designated as accounting hedges for a period of time and the ineffectiveness from interest rate swaps that are designated as accounting hedges but are not perfectly effective.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the net non-operating foreign currency exchange losses related to the mark-to-market of the
Companys intercompany loans and the euro-denominated debt issued in connection with the merger. Historically, intercompany loans were deemed to be of a long-term nature for which settlement was not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable
future. Accordingly, the translation adjustments were reported in Other comprehensive income. Effective in September 2007 and in conjunction with the merger, the Company made the decision to begin settling intercompany loans which
results in a benefit or charge to earnings due to movement in foreign currency exchange rates.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Significant non-cash transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2008 included the Company increasing the principal amount of its senior
unsecured PIK term loan facility by $123.7 million resulting from the payment of interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company entered into approximately $47 million of capital leases. Capital leases into
which the Company entered during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were immaterial.

See Note 12 for information concerning the
Companys stock-based compensation plans.

Note 3: Merger

On September 24, 2007, FDC merged with affiliates of KKR. For additional details, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The total purchase price of approximately $26.6 billion was allocated to the Companys net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as set forth below. A portion of the
preliminary valuation of identifiable intangible assets was allocated to the Companys investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (reflected in the Investment in affiliates line of

the Consolidated Balance Sheets). The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The
preliminary allocation of the purchase price to fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets was based upon preliminary valuation data and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The Company is also in the process of working through
other potential purchase accounting adjustments that mostly relate to pre-acquisition contingencies and implementation of managements restructuring plans and related deferred taxes on the purchase accounting.

|                               |  |   |          |  

The preliminary estimated weighted-average useful lives (excluding the impact of accelerated
amortization and the First Data tradename which was determined to have an indefinite life) associated with the intangible assets are approximately:



|                                    |  |         
|----------------------------------- |  | --------

|Investment in affiliates            |  | 10 years
|Total weighted-average useful lives |  | 13 years

The Company generally uses straight-line amortization for intangible assets other than for
customer relationships for which the pattern of economic benefits are known and for which an accelerated method of amortization is used to more appropriately allocate the cost of the relationships to the periods that will benefit from them. Deferred
tax liabilities were recorded related to the allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets. Less than 5% of goodwill resulting from the merger is deductible for tax purposes at a local jurisdiction level. The preliminary allocation of
goodwill by segment is as follows (in millions):

|                           |  |   |         

Goodwill will be reviewed at least annually for impairment.

Merger Related Restructuring Charges

During
the fourth quarter 2007, the Company implemented a plan that provided strategic direction for the Company under its new leadership. The plan anticipated capturing efficiencies related to the simplification of domestic and international operations
and other near term cost saving initiatives as well as certain reductions in personnel. In accordance with this plan and in November 2007, the Company terminated approximately 1,600 employees across the organization representing all levels of
employees and approximately 6% of its worldwide work force. A majority of them ceased working before December 31, 2007. Additional actions

occurred during first and second quarters 2008 resulting in the termination of over 400 employees across the organization. A majority of the successor
severance costs were recorded in purchase accounting with the remainder recorded through current operations. The Company anticipates taking additional similar types of actions during the remainder of 2008 as part of its overall plan, with the
majority of severance costs to be recorded in purchase accounting as assumed liabilities.

The following table summarizes the
Companys utilization of restructuring accruals related to the merger recorded in purchase accounting for the six months ended June 30, 2008:

Merger and Other Related Costs

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company expensed merger related costs consisting primarily of investment banking, accounting
and legal fees totaling $10.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company expensed $2.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively for similar costs.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2007. The historical
financial information has been adjusted to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributed to the merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on
the combined results. Such items include interest expense related to debt issued in conjunction with the merger as well as additional amortization expense associated with the preliminary valuation of intangible assets. This unaudited pro forma
information should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the merger had actually occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.

Note 4: Restructuring, Impairments, Litigation and Regulatory Settlements and Other

Restructuring charges and reversal of restructuring accruals

The Company recorded restructuring charges in 2007 comprised of severance totaling $6.7 million and $9.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Severance charges resulted from the termination of approximately 350
employees within the Merchant Services and the International segments.

Restructuring charges for first quarter 2007 resulted from efforts
to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the sales and sales support teams within the Merchant Services segment. Severance charges resulted from the termination of approximately 230 sales related employees comprising approximately 10%
of the segments regional sales, cross-sale and sales support organizations. This restructuring plan was completed in the first quarter of 2007. Restructuring charges for the second quarter 2007 resulted from the termination of approximately
120 employees within the International segment. These were the first of the terminations that occurred associated with data center consolidation and global sourcing initiatives. Similar actions will occur in future periods. The Company also reversed
$0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, of prior period restructuring accruals related to changes in estimates regarding severance costs from restructuring activities that occurred in 2005
and 2006.

The following table summarizes the Companys utilization of restructuring accruals from continuing operations, excluding
merger related restructuring charges described in Note 3, for the period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 (in millions):

Litigation and regulatory settlements

In the second quarter 2007, the Company recorded a $5.0 million litigation accrual associated with a judgment against the Company pertaining to a vendor
contract issue on a business included in the Prepaid Services segment.

Other

The majority of the benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2007 related to the release of escheatment accruals originally recorded in the fourth
quarter 2005.

Note 5: Acquisitions

In
January 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allied Irish Banks p.l.c. (AIB), of which the Company owns 50.1%. The joint venture provides card acquiring services in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere
in Europe. The cash paid to acquire AIB was approximately $178 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in identifiable intangible assets of $69 million, which are being amortized over 10 years, a tradename of $40 million that is
being amortized over 15 years and goodwill of $72 million. The joint venture with AIB is consolidated and reported as part of the International segment.

In February 2008, the Company acquired the remaining interest in Unified Network Payment Solutions (UNPS) located in Canada. UNPS is consolidated and reported as part of the International segment.

The aggregate cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for the acquisitions was approximately $195 million. The aggregate
preliminary purchase price allocation for these acquisitions resulted in $69 million in identifiable intangible assets, which are being amortized over 10 years, tradenames of $41 million that are being amortized over 10 to 15 years and goodwill of
$72 million.

The pro forma impact of all 2008 acquisitions on net income was not material.

On April 28, 2008, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire InComm Holdings Inc. (InComm). The transaction is
subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. InComm is a distributor of gift cards, prepaid wireless products, reloadable debit cards, digital music downloads, content, games, software and bill payment solutions. InComm also
provides stored valued product marketing and technology solutions to international markets in Europe and Canada. The parties have agreed to extend the completion date of the transaction in order to complete certain closing conditions and to
negotiate and mutually agree upon changes to the merger terms. Subject to the Company reaching agreement with the sellers on such revised terms, it would expect to close the transaction in the second half of 2008.

In July 2008, the Company purchased the remaining 31.8% interest in its Money Network Financial, LLC subsidiary (reported as part of the Prepaid Services
segment) previously owned by minority interest holders for total consideration of $70 million consisting of cash of $40 million and equity issued by First Data Holdings, Inc. Also in July 2008, the Company sold its subsidiary Active Business
Services Ltd. which was reported as part of the International segment.

Note 6: Investments in Affiliates

Operating results include the Companys proportionate share of income from affiliates, which consist of unconsolidated investments and joint ventures
accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The most significant of these affiliates are related to the Companys merchant bank alliance program.

A merchant bank alliance, as it pertains to investments accounted for under the equity method, is a joint venture between FDC and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management
expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the bank. The joint ventures acquire credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the joint ventures and charges
fees to the joint venture primarily based on contractual pricing. These fees have been separately identified on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At June 30, 2008, there were eight affiliates accounted for under the equity method of
accounting, comprised of five merchant alliances and three strategic investments in companies in related markets. The Companys largest merchant alliance, Chase Paymentech SolutionsTM, a global payments and merchant acquiring entity, is 51% owned by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., and 49% owned by FDC. On May 27, 2008, the Company announced it reached
agreement with JPMorgan Chase to end the joint venture by the end of 2008. In the interim, the two companies will continue to operate the joint venture. After the transition,

JPMorgan Chase and First Data will operate separate payment businesses. First Data will continue to provide transaction processing and data commerce
solutions for allocated merchants through its current technology platforms. First Data will assume management of the full-service ISO and Agent Bank unit of the joint venture and will integrate 49% of the joint ventures assets and a
portion of the joint venture employees into its existing merchant acquiring business. First Data has historically accounted for its minority interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. After the end of the joint
venture, the portion of the alliances business retained by the Company will be reflected on a consolidated basis throughout the financial statements. Additionally, expiration in 2008 will cause the Company to incur an obligation associated
with taxes. Based on preliminary estimates and assumptions this obligation could be in excess of $200 million. A significant portion of this obligation, however, may be recovered through the future amortization of increased tax basis generated
by this event.

In July 2008, the Company sold its interest in Early Warning Services which had been accounted for under the equity method.

A summary of unaudited financial information for the merchant alliances and other affiliates accounted for under the equity method of
accounting is as follows (in millions):

The primary components of assets and liabilities are settlement-related accounts as described in
Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The formation of a merchant joint venture alliance accounted for under the equity method of accounting generally involves the Company and/or a financial institution contributing merchant contracts to the alliance and
a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentages. The asset amounts reflected above are owned by the alliances and other equity method investees and do not include any of such payments made by the Company. As
discussed in Note 3, a portion of the preliminary purchase price related to the merger was allocated to the Companys investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The amount by which the total of the Companys investments in its joint
ventures exceeded its proportionate share of the joint ventures net assets totaled $3,282.6 million and $3,190.8 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The non-goodwill portion of this amount is considered an
identifiable intangible asset that is amortized accordingly.

Note 7: Borrowings

The senior unsecured cash-pay term loan facility, senior unsecured PIK term loan facility and senior subordinated unsecured term loan facility represent
bridge financing (the bridge facilities). In June 2008, the Company incurred fees totaling $102.4 million in connection with a modification of the bridge facilities (see descriptions of impact of modifications below). The fees have been
capitalized as deferred financing costs and are reported in the Other long-term assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. They are payable in three equal annual installments starting August 19, 2008 and are being amortized on
a straight-line basis which approximates the interest method over the term of the respective debt, with a weighted-average period of 8 years. These fees replace higher underwriting fees that otherwise would have been payable when the bridge
facilities are refinanced. No additional fees will now be due at that time.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

The Company has a $2.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility. The amounts outstanding against this facility were $130.0 million and $60.0
million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The terms of the Companys senior secured term loan
facility require the Company to pay equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid $32.0 million and $63.9 million,
respectively, of principal payments on the senior secured term loan facility in accordance with this provision ($29.5 million and $58.9 million, respectively, related to the U.S. dollar denominated loan and $2.5 million and $5.0 million,
respectively, related to the euro denominated loan).

The Company entered into basis rate swaps to modify the variable rates on $6.0
billion of the previously executed $7.5 billion interest rate swaps related to the senior secured term loan facility and to lower the fixed interest rates on those interest rate swaps. The basis swaps pay interest at rates equal to three-month-LIBOR
and receive interest at rates equal to one-month-LIBOR plus a fixed spread. One basis swap with a notional amount of $2.0 billion expires on June 24, 2009 and all other basis swaps with a combined notional amount of $4.0 billion expire on
September 24, 2010. The Company also made a corresponding election on its senior secured term loan facility to change interest payments from three-month-LIBOR to one-month-LIBOR interest rate index on a $6.0 billion principal amount to match
the terms of the basis swaps. Having re-designated certain of its hedging relationships to include the basis swaps, all of the interest rate swaps have been designated by the Company as hedges for accounting purposes. The net fixed rates on the
interest rate swaps range from 3.779% to 5.2165%.

Senior Unsecured Cash-pay Term Loan Facility and Senior Unsecured PIK Term Loan Facility

The terms of the Companys senior unsecured PIK (Payment In-Kind) term loan require that interest on this loan up to and including
September 20, 2011 be paid entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding loan or by issuing senior unsecured PIK debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company increased the principal amount of this
loan by $56.1 million and $123.7 million, respectively, in accordance with this provision.

In June 2008 and after negotiation with the
holders of the debt, the Company entered into an agreement with the lenders which, among other things and most significantly, amended the interest rates on the senior unsecured term loan facilities. Effective June 19, 2008, the interest rate on
the cash-pay term loan facility increased to 8.49% and the interest rate on the PIK term loan facility increased to 9.32%. The rates will be increased further to 9.875% on the cash-pay term loan facility and to 10.55% on the PIK term loan facility
effective August 19, 2008 and thereafter. The rates effective as of August 19, 2008 are equivalent to the cap rates that were prescribed by the original loan agreements.

Senior Subordinated Unsecured Term Loan Facility

In June 2008 and after negotiation with the
holders of the debt, the Company entered into an agreement with the lenders which, among other things and most significantly, amended the interest rates on the senior subordinated unsecured term loan facility. Effective June 19, 2008 the
interest rate has increased to 9.80% and will be increased further to 11.25% starting August 19, 2008 and thereafter. The rate effective as of August 19, 2008 is equivalent to the cap rate that was prescribed by the original loan
agreement.

Note 9: Segment Information

For a detailed discussion of the Companys principles regarding its operating segments
refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company started operating under a new segment structure effective January 1, 2008. In connection with this segment realignment, the Company additionally excluded interest income and
indirect corporate overhead from segment results. Segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 have been revised to reflect the new structure. A summary of the new segments follows:



| |  |  | The Merchant Services segment is comprised of businesses that provide services which facilitate the merchants ability to accept credit, debit, stored-value
and loyalty cards. The segments processing services include authorization, transaction capture, settlement, chargeback handling, and internet-based transaction processing. Merchant Services also provide POS devices and other equipment
necessary to capture merchant transactions. A majority of these services are offered to the merchants through joint ventures or other alliance arrangements primarily with financial institutions and pertain to transactions in which consumer payments
to merchants are made through a card association (such as Visa or MasterCard), a debit network, or another payment network (such as Discover).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Financial Services segment provides issuer card and network solutions and payment management solutions for point of sale and recurring bill payments. Issuer
card and network solutions include credit and retail card processing, debit card processing and network services (including the STAR Network), and output services for financial institutions and other organizations offering credit cards, debit cards
and retail private label cards to consumers and businesses to manage

| | customer accounts. Payment management solutions include check verification, settlement and guarantee services (provided by TeleCheck) and other payment
options that support merchants and online retailers, businesses, and government agencies. The segments largest components of revenue consist of fees for account management, transaction authorization and posting, network switching, check
acceptance and warranty, as well as reimbursable postage.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The International segment is comprised of businesses that provide the following services outside of the United States: credit, retail, debit and prepaid card
processing; merchant acquiring and processing; ATM and point-of-sale (POS) processing, driving, acquiring and switching services; and card processing software. The largest components of the segments revenue are fees for
facilitating the merchants ability to accept credit, retail and debit cards by authorizing, capturing, and settling merchants credit, retail, debit, stored-value and loyalty card transactions as well as for transaction authorization and
posting, network switching and account management.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Prepaid Services segment consists of businesses that provide a wide range of open and closed loop stored-value products and processing services. The closed loop
operations comprise the largest component of the segments revenue, providing gift card processing services to large national merchants as well as fleet services to trucking companies. The open loop products are the fastest growing component of
the segment driven primarily by employers adoption of the Money Network payroll product.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The IPS segments operations involve the issuance of official checks and money orders by agents which are typically banks or other financial institutions.
Official checks serve as an alternative to a banks own disbursement items such as cashiers or bank checks. Revenue is principally earned on invested funds which are pending settlement.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the segments have changed, a detailed discussion regarding the businesses that comprise the Companys segments, the strategies of the
Company and the businesses within the segment, business trends affecting the Company and certain risks inherent in the Companys business is included in Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies

On or about April 3 and 4, 2003, two purported class action complaints were filed on behalf of the public holders of Concords common stock
(excluding shareholders related to or affiliated with the individual defendants). The defendants in those actions were certain current and former officers and directors of Concord. The complaints generally alleged breaches of the defendants
duty of loyalty and due care in connection with the defendants alleged attempt to sell Concord without maximizing the value to shareholders in order to advance the defendants alleged individual interests in obtaining indemnification
agreements related to litigation against Concord and its directors alleging Concords financial statements were materially misleading and other derivative litigation. The complaints sought class certification, injunctive relief directing the
defendants conduct in connection with an alleged sale or auction of Concord, reasonable attorneys fees, experts fees and other costs and relief the Court deems just and proper.

On or about April 2, 2003, an additional purported class action complaint was filed by Barton K. OBrien. The defendants were Concord and
certain of its current and former officers and directors. This complaint contained allegations regarding the individual defendants alleged insider trading and alleged violations of securities and other laws and asserted that this alleged
misconduct reduced the consideration offered to Concord shareholders in the merger between Concord and a subsidiary of the Company (the Concord Merger). The complaint sought class certification, attorneys fees, experts fees,
costs and other relief the Court deems just and proper. Moreover, the complaint also sought an order enjoining consummation of the Concord Merger, rescinding the Concord Merger if it is consummated and setting it aside or awarding rescissory damages
to members of the putative class, and directing the defendants to account to the putative class members for unspecified damages. These complaints were consolidated in a second amended consolidated complaint filed September 19, 2003 into one
action (In Re: Concord EFS, Inc. Shareholders Litigation) in the Shelby County Circuit for the State of Tennessee.

On October 15,
2003, the plaintiffs In Re: Concord EFS, Inc. Shareholders Litigation moved for leave to file a third amended consolidated complaint similar to the previous complaints but also alleging that the proxy statement disclosures relating to the antitrust
regulatory approval process were inadequate. A motion to dismiss was filed on June 22, 2004 alleging that the claims should be denied and are moot since the Concord Merger has occurred. On October 18, 2004, the Court heard arguments on the
plaintiffs motion to amend complaint and defendants motion to dismiss. On September 12, 2006, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion to file a third amended complaint. In early November 2006, Concord filed a motion to dismiss
the third amended complaint. On June 28, 2007, a hearing was held on Concords motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. On May 2, 2008, the Court issued an order granting Concords motion. On May 22, 2008 the Court
entered a final judgment in favor of Concord, dismissing the action. On May 29, 2008 the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action and an estimate of possible losses, if any, cannot be made at this
time.

On July 2, 2004, Pamela Brennan, Terry Crayton, and Darla Martinez filed a class action complaint on behalf of
themselves and all others similarly situated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its subsidiary Concord EFS, Inc., and various financial institutions (Brennan). Plaintiffs
claim that the defendants violated antitrust laws by conspiring to artificially inflate foreign ATM fees that were ultimately charged to ATM cardholders. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, compensatory damages,
attorneys fees, costs and such other relief as the nature of the case may require or as may seem just and proper to the court. Five similar suits were filed and served in July, August and October 2004, two in the Central District of California
(Los Angeles), two in the Southern District of New York, and one in the Western District of Washington (Seattle). The plaintiffs sought to have all of the cases consolidated by the Multi District Litigation panel. That request was denied by the
panel on December 16, 2004 and all cases were transferred to the Northern District Court of California and assigned to a single judge. All cases other than Brennan were stayed. Subsequently, a seventh lawsuit was filed in the District of
Alaska, which thereafter was also transferred to the Northern District of California and assigned to the same judge.

In Brennan, on
May 4, 2005, the Court ruled on Defendants Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. The Court did not dismiss the complaint, except for a technical dismissal of the claims against First Data Corporation, Bank One
Corporation and JPMorgan Chase. On May 25, 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which clarified the basis for alleging that the holding companies, First Data Corporation, Bank One Corporation and JPMorgan Chase, were liable. On
July 21, 2005, Concord filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to foreclose claims arising after February 1, 2001the date that Concord acquired the STAR Network. On August 22, 2005, the Court also consolidated all of the ATM
interchange cases pending against the defendants in Brennan which will now be referred to collectively as the ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation. On September 14, 2006, a hearing on Concords Motion for Summary Judgment was held. On
November 30, 2006, the Court issued an order that terminated the pending motion and requested further discovery on the limited issue of procompetitive justifications for the fixed ATM interchange by March 1, 2007. A hearing was held on the
plaintiffs motion to compel on May 23, 2007, at which time the Court directed the defendants to file a motion for summary judgment. On June 25, 2007, the Court entered an order on the motion to compel. On August 3, 2007, the
Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss plaintiffs per se claims, arguing that there are procompetitive justifications for the ATM interchange. On March 24, 2008, the Court entered an order granting the
defendants motions for partial summary judgment, finding that the claims raised in this case would need to be addressed under a Rule of Reason analysis. On April 18, 2008, the Court entered an order certifying for appeal the
March 24, 2008 order. Plaintiffs filed their petition for permission of the Ninth Circuit on May 2, 2008. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action and an estimate of possible losses, if any, cannot be made at this time.

In May 2002, DataTreasury Corporation (DataTreasury) commenced action in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas (the Court) against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries First Data Merchant Services Corporation, TeleCheck Services, Inc. d/b/a Telecheck International, Inc., and Microbilt Corporation (subsequently merged
into TASQ Technology, Inc.), (collectively, the First Data Defendants), alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 5,910,988 (the 988 Patent) and Patent No. 6,032,137 (the 137 Patent). The
complaint sought a declaration that the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent were valid and enforceable, injunctive relief, unidentified damages, pre-judgment interest, treble damages, costs of suit and attorneys fees. The 988 Patent and the 137
Patent generally relate to remote data acquisition, encryption, centralized processing and storage. DataTreasury voluntarily dismissed the action filed with the Court and refiled the complaint on November 7, 2002 in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Texas asserting that the First Data Defendants infringed the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent. The complaint seeks a declaration that the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent are valid and enforceable, injunctive relief,
unidentified damages, prejudgment interest, treble damages, costs of suit and attorneys fees. On November 15, 2002, the First Data Defendants filed a motion which was granted that the case be transferred to the Court. On March 1,
2005, the Court ruled on claim construction. DataTreasury filed amended infringement contentions in September 2005. On November 5, 2005, the First Data Defendants filed ex parte requests for reexamination of the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO). The First Data Defendants filed their final invalidity contentions in December 2005. The First Data Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment for patent invalidity on
January 4, 2006. On September 12, 2005, DataTreasury filed a second complaint with the Court asserting that the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries Remitco, LLC (Remitco) and Integrated Payment Systems Inc. infringed the
988 Patent and the 137 Patent. DataTreasury seeks a declaration that the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent are valid and enforceable, injunctive relief, unidentified damages, prejudgment interest, treble damages, costs of suit and attorneys fees.
On November 21, 2006, the Court consolidated the two cases. On July 24, 2007, counsel for the parties agreed among other procedural matters to abate the case until 60 days after the issuance of reexamination certificates by the USPTO for
both the 988 Patent and the 137 Patent or 60 days after the Remitco document production is completed, at which time DataTreasury will serve amended infringement contentions. In accordance with the agreement of the counsel for the parties, the Court
entered an order denying as moot the pending Joint Motion for Entry of a Docket Control Order and refrained from entering a new schedule.

The USPTO issued a Certificate of Reexamination on the 988 Patent on October 3, 2007 and on the 137 Patent in December 2007. The Company intends to
vigorously defend the action and an estimate of possible losses, if any, cannot be made at this time.

On February 24, 2006,
DataTreasury filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, naming more than 50 defendants, including the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Telecheck Services, Inc. and Remitco,
for the infringement of Patent No. 5,930,778 (the 778 Patent). The complaint seeks a declaration that the 778 Patent is valid and enforceable, injunctive relief, unidentified damages, prejudgment interest, treble damages, costs of
suit and attorneys fees. The 778 patent generally relates to the clearing of financial instruments. On September 25, 2007, all defendants entered into a stipulation, which, pursuant to the courts order, will result in a stay of the
case pending the outcome of a pending re-examination of the 778 patent. The parties currently are engaged in mediation. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action and an estimate of possible losses, if any, cannot be made at this time.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of
former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

The Company estimates pension plan contributions for 2008 to be approximately $65 million. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, $43.6 million was contributed to the United Kingdom plan. No contributions are expected to the U.S. plan during 2008.

Note 12: Stock-Based Compensation

Successor Equity Plans

On October 26, 2007, First Data Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) established a stock incentive plan for certain management employees of FDC and
its affiliates (stock plan). This stock plan is at the Holdings level which owns 100% of FDCs equity interests. The stock plan provided the opportunity for certain management employees to purchase shares in Holdings and then
receive a number of options or restricted stock based on a multiple of their investment in such shares. The employees that chose to invest entered into a management stockholders agreement. Principal terms of the management stockholders
agreement included restrictions on transfers, lock ups, right of first refusal, registration rights, and a confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete covenant. The expense associated with this plan is recorded by FDC. The number of shares
authorized under the stock plan is 119.5 million, 83 million of which are authorized for options.

Each employee who invested has
the right to require Holdings to repurchase the shares and options upon the employees termination due to death or disability. The put rights expire one year after the termination event or upon a change in control. The repurchase price for
the shares is their fair market value at the time of repurchase. The repurchase price for the options is their intrinsic value at the time of repurchase.

Additionally, Holdings has the right to repurchase stock and options upon termination of employment
for any reason. These call rights expire on the earliest of 180 days after the termination event, a change in control, or September 24, 2012. Depending on the cause of termination, Holdings will have the right to repurchase shares at either the
fair market value at the time of repurchase or the lesser of fair market value or the original price paid by the employee to purchase the shares. Holdings may repurchase vested options at their intrinsic value at the time of repurchase.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from stock options, non-vested restricted
stock awards and non-vested restricted stock units was $6.2 million and $10.6 million pretax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the Selling, general and
administrative line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, time options and performance options were granted under the new stock plan. Generally, time options and
performance options were granted equally based on a multiple of the employees investment in shares of Holdings and have a contractual term of 10 years. Time options will vest equally over a five-year period and performance options will vest
based upon Company EBITDA targets for the years 2008 through 2012. These EBITDA targets have both annual and cumulative components. The options also have certain accelerated vesting provisions upon a change in control, an initial public offering,
and certain termination events.

The fair value of Holdings stock options granted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rateThe risk-free rate for stock options granted during the period
was determined by using a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate for the periods that coincided with the expected terms listed above.

Expected
dividend yieldNo dividends are currently being paid by Holdings, or are expected to be paid in future periods.

Expected
volatilityAs Holdings is a non-publicly traded company, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of a group of guideline companies.

Expected termThe Company estimated the expected term by considering the historical exercise and termination behavior of employees that participated in the predecessor equity plans, the vesting conditions
of options granted under the stock plan, as well as the impact of limited liquidity for common stock of a non-publicly traded company.

A
summary of Holdings stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is as follows (options in millions):

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

In January 2008, restricted stock awards and units were granted under the new stock plan. Grants were made as incentive awards. All restricted stock units
will vest on September 24, 2012. The restricted stock awards and units also have certain accelerated vesting provisions upon a change in control, an initial public offering, and certain termination events.

Predecessor Equity Plans

For a detailed description of the Companys stock compensation plans prior to the merger with an affiliate of KKR, refer to Note 15 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Vesting of pre-merger FDC stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units was accelerated upon
closing of the merger and holders of the awards received cash payments discussed more fully in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from stock options, non-vested restricted stock
awards, non-vested restricted stock units as well as the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) was $24.2 million and $52.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense
in 2007 was recognized in the Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative line items of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock Options and Employee Stock Purchase Plan Rights

The fair value of FDC stock options
granted and ESPP rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Note 13: Fair Value Measurement

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Although this statement does not require any new fair value measurements, in certain cases its application has changed
previous practice in determining fair value. SFAS 157 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 as it relates to fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are
recognized at fair value in its financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). It will be effective beginning January 1, 2009 for certain other non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.

SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. It establishes a hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as
follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the
measurement date.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SFAS 157 assigns the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 157, the Company adjusted, prospectively, its method of measuring the fair value of certain financial instruments
and, as a result, recorded a reduction in its derivative liabilities of $13.2 million and an increase in investment securities of $1.0 million as of the date of adoption. The derivatives were adjusted to reflect the Companys own
non-performance risk. Substantially all of the $13.2 million related to derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and was recorded as a reduction of the unrealized losses in Other comprehensive
income (OCI). The increase in investment securities was also recorded in OCI.

Financial instruments carried at fair
value as of June 30, 2008 and measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in the table below according to the hierarchy described above:



|                                     |  |                                                             |     |                                            |   |                                        |  |       |       |  |   |

Settlement Assets

As of June 30, 2008, $6.3 billion of the Companys $13.2 billion of Settlement assets were comprised of financial instruments that were carried at fair value. These investments included student
loan auction rate securities (SLARS) and other available-for-sale securities discussed in more detail below.

Student loan auction rate
securities

As of June 30, 2008, the Company held $541 million ($553.1 million par value) of SLARS which are long-term debt
instruments with variable interest rates that historically would periodically reset through a Dutch auction process but do not include a put-back option. Beginning in mid-February 2008, due largely to uncertainty in the global credit and capital
markets, investment banks and broker dealers became less willing to support SLARS and other ARS auctions. As a result, multiple auctions failed, including the auctions for the SLARS still held by the Company, although certain other ARS were
successfully auctioned by the Company during that time. A failed auction does not represent a default by the issuer of the underlying security. As of June 30, 2008, the student loan auction rate securities held by the Company were all AAA
rated, except for one AA rated, were all collateralized by securitized student loans substantially guaranteed by the United States government and continued to pay interest in accordance with the terms of their respective security agreements. The
Company will not be able to access liquidity for these investments until the auction market successfully resumes, a secondary market is established for long-term investors, or issuers redeem the securities. The Company has the ability and intent to
hold these securities due to the extended time period over which the wind-down of the official check and money order business, discussed in Note 1, will take place.

Due to the lack of observable market activity for the SLARS held by the Company and as of June 30, 2008, the securities have been valued based on comparison to similar securities for which market data is
available. The Company made certain adjustments to the observable market inputs, primarily relating to estimating the effective maturity dates for the securities held by the Company, which had a significant impact on the fair value. Accordingly, the
resulting fair value was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company has recorded an unrealized loss of $12.1 million relating to the SLARS which it attributes to limited liquidity rather than credit issues.

Other available-for-sale securities

As of
June 30, 2008, the Company held preferred shares issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) that are valued using quoted stock prices from the New York Stock Exchange and classified as Level 1 above.

The Company also held certain investments in primarily short-term debt securities, including commercial paper (both discounted and
interest bearing), money market funds, certificates of deposit (both domestic and Yankee), variable rate demand notes with a put back option and fixed rate corporate bonds. Prices for these securities are not quoted on active exchanges but are
priced through an independent third party pricing service based on quotations from market-makers in the specific instruments or, where appropriate, other market inputs including interest rates, benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, two
sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data. In certain instances, amortized cost is considered an appropriate approximation of market value. These securities are classified as Level 2 above.

(Unaudited)



Other Assets

The Company maintains certain other investments (not included in the table above) that are classified as available-for-sale, carried at fair value and included in the Other long-term assets line item in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These totaled less than $1.0 million and include primarily equity securities which are valued based on Level 2 inputs.

Derivatives

As discussed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain risks. The Companys derivatives are not exchange listed and are therefore valued using Bloomberg analytics models that are based
on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves
and the credit quality of the counterparties. As discussed above, effective January 1, 2008, the models also incorporate the Companys creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk.

Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity. The degree to which the Companys
credit worthiness impacts the value does require some management judgment but as of June 30, 2008, the impact of this assessment on the overall value of the Companys derivatives was not significant and the Companys derivatives are
classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Note 14: Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits accrued under the provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income TaxesAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) was reduced by $11 million after negotiating settlement with certain state jurisdictions. The reduction in the liability was recorded
through cash payments and a decrease to goodwill. As of June 30, 2008, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months; however, the Company does not
expect the change to significantly increase or decrease the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 15: Related Party Transactions

The Company has engaged in a transaction associated with Plane Fish, LLC, of which Mr. Labry, an executive officer of the Company,
is the sole member. Plane Fish, LLC owned an aircraft which it leased to a charter company. The charter company made the aircraft available to its customers, including the Company, which used the aircraft solely in connection with business-related
travel by Mr. Labry and other Company employees. On March 17, 2008, a third party leasing company acquired the aircraft from Plane Fish, LLC for $8.5 million and the Company now leases the plane from the third party leasing company
through a capital lease. The Company negotiated the $8.5 million purchase price with Plane Fish, LLC and arranged for the third party leasing company to purchase the aircraft with the Companys commitment to lease the aircraft. The Company also
reimbursed Plane Fish, LLC for $589,282 of additional expense incurred in operating the aircraft from September 24, 2007 until the date of purchase that previously had not been reimbursed.

On January 31, 2006, First Data Merchant Services Corporation (FDMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a four
year, eight month sublease agreement with The Labry Companies, Inc. for approximately 3,600 square feet of office space in Memphis, Tennessee, including furniture, fixtures and equipment, on customary terms. During 2008, the Company paid
approximately $71,000 to The Labry Companies, Inc. under the sublease. On June 1, 2008, FDMS terminated the sublease agreement and paid a fee to The Labry Companies of approximately $220,000 pursuant to the sublease agreement. First Data
Merchant Services Corporation entered into a direct lease agreement with the landlord for additional space and a longer term as of June 1, 2008. The Labry Companies, Inc. will retain the furniture, fixtures and equipment following the
expiration or termination of the lease, or upon Mr. Labrys separation from the Company.

|ITEM 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

First Data Corporation (FDC or the Company), with headquarters in
Greenwood Village, Colorado, operates electronic commerce businesses providing services that include merchant transaction processing and acquiring services; credit, retail and debit card issuing and processing services; prepaid card services;
official check issuance; and check verification, settlement and guarantee.

On September 24, 2007, the Company merged with an
affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR). See Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007 for details related to the merger.

The Company applied purchase accounting to the opening balance sheet and
results of operations effective immediately subsequent to the merger date which remains in its preliminary stages. The value assigned at June 30, 2008 to intangible assets and fixed assets is based on preliminary valuation data and may change
upon finalization of the valuation. The Company is also in the process of working through other potential purchase accounting adjustments that mostly relate to pre-acquisition contingencies, implementation of managements restructuring plans
and related deferred taxes on the purchase accounting. The Company will finalize its purchase accounting in the third quarter 2008.

Presentation

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is presented for the
successor periods for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and the predecessor periods for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Predecessor and successor primarily relate to the periods preceding the merger and the periods
succeeding the merger, respectively.

A new Chief Executive Officer, the Companys chief operating decision maker, was appointed as a result of the September 24, 2007 merger with an affiliate of KKR. In connection with this change in leadership,
changes were made to the Companys senior management and organization of the business. Effective January 1, 2008, the Companys new Chief Executive Officer began making strategic and operating decisions with regards to assessing
performance and allocating resources based on a new segment structure. FDC now operates in five business segments: Merchant Services, Financial Services, International, Prepaid Services and Integrated Payment Systems (IPS). A summary of
the new segments follows:



| |  |  | The Merchant Services segment is comprised of businesses that provide services which facilitate the merchants ability to accept credit, debit, stored-value
and loyalty cards. The segments processing services include authorization, transaction capture, settlement, chargeback handling, and internet-based transaction processing. Merchant Services also provide point-of-sale (POS) devices
and other equipment necessary to capture merchant transactions. A majority of these services are offered to the merchants through joint ventures or other alliance arrangements primarily with financial institutions and pertain to transactions in
which consumer payments to merchants are made through a card association (such as Visa or MasterCard), a debit network, or another payment network (such as Discover).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Financial Services segment provides issuer card and network solutions and payment management solutions for point of sale and recurring bill payments. Issuer
card and network solutions include credit and retail card processing, debit card processing and network services (including the STAR Network), and output services for financial institutions and other organizations offering credit cards, debit cards
and retail private label cards to consumers and businesses to manage customer accounts. Payment management solutions include check verification, settlement and guarantee services (provided by TeleCheck) and other payment options that support
merchants and online retailers, businesses, and government agencies. The segments largest components of revenue consist of fees for account management, transaction authorization and posting, network switching, check acceptance and warranty, as
well as reimbursable postage.

| |  |  | The International segment is comprised of businesses that provide the following services outside of the United States: credit, retail, debit and prepaid card
processing; merchant acquiring and processing; ATM and POS processing, driving, acquiring and switching services; and card processing software. The largest components of the segments revenue are fees for facilitating the merchants
ability to accept credit, retail and debit cards by authorizing, capturing, and settling merchants credit, retail, debit, stored-value and loyalty card transactions as well as for transaction authorization and posting, network switching and
account management.

OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



| |  |  | The Prepaid Services segment consists of businesses that provide a wide range of open and closed loop stored-value products and processing services. The closed loop
operations comprise the largest component of the segments revenue, providing gift card processing services to large national merchants as well as fleet services to trucking companies. The open loop products are the fastest growing component of
the segment driven primarily by employers adoption of the Money Network payroll product.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The IPS segments operations involve the issuance of official checks and money orders by agents which are typically banks or other financial institutions.
Official checks serve as an alternative to a banks own disbursement items such as cashiers or bank checks. Revenue is principally earned on invested funds which are pending settlement.

Although the segments have changed, a detailed discussion regarding the businesses that comprise the Companys segments, the strategies of the
Company and the businesses within the segment, business trends affecting the Company and certain risks inherent in the Companys business is included in Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

2008 Financial Summary

Significant financial and other measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included:



| |  |  | Total revenues increased 10% and 13% for the three and six month periods in 2008 in comparison to the same periods in 2007, with Merchant Services segment revenue
growing 8% and 9%, Financial Services segment revenue decreasing 1% for the three month period and remaining flat for the six month period, and International segment revenue growing 20% and 21% for the same periods, respectively.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007, domestic merchant transactions increased 11% to 7.0 billion and 11%
to 13.5 billion, respectively; domestic debit issuer transactions increased 3% to 3.1 billion and 3% to 5.9 billion, respectively; and international transactions increased 23% to 1.6 billion and 18% to 3.1 billion, respectively.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 26% and 15% from the same periods in the prior year due to increased depreciation
and amortization principally as the result of merger related purchase accounting and benefited from increased net investment income among other items.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net losses of $160.6 million and $382.3 million were generated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to net income of $228.9
million and $404.1 million for the same periods in 2007, most significantly impacted by an increase in interest expense of $260.3 million and $563.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, net of tax, primarily
driven by debt issued in connection with the merger. Also contributing to the net losses was an increase in deprecation and amortization of $131.3 million and $248.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, net of
tax, primarily as a result of merger related purchase accounting offset by increased net investment income among other items.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2008
Acquisitions



| |  |  | In January 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allied Irish Banks p.l.c. (AIB), of which the Company owns 50.1%. The joint venture
provides card acquiring services in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. The joint venture with AIB is consolidated and reported in the International segment.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In April 2008, the Company signed an agreement to acquire InComm Holdings Inc. (InComm), a distributor of stored value gift and prepaid products. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The parties have agreed to extend the completion date of the transaction in order to complete certain closing conditions and to negotiate and mutually agree upon
changes to the merger terms. Subject to the Company reaching agreement with the sellers on such revised terms, it would expect to close the transaction in the second half of 2008.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In July 2008, the Company purchased the remaining 31.8% interest in its Money Network Financial, LLC subsidiary previously owned by minority interest holders.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chase Paymentech

The Companys largest merchant alliance, Chase Paymentech SolutionsTM, a global payments and merchant acquiring entity, is 51% owned by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., and 49% owned by FDC. On May 27, 2008, the Company
announced it had reached agreement with JPMorgan Chase to end the Chase Paymentech joint

venture by the end of 2008. In the interim, the two companies will continue to operate the joint venture. After the transition, JPMorgan Chase and
First Data will operate separate payment businesses. First Data will continue to provide transaction processing and data commerce solutions for allocated merchants through its current technology platforms. First Data will assume management
of the full-service independent sales organization (ISO) and Agent Bank unit of the joint venture and will integrate 49% of the joint ventures assets and a portion of the joint venture employees into its existing merchant acquiring
business. First Data has historically accounted for its minority interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the wind up of the joint venture, the portion of the alliances business retained by
the Company will be reflected on a consolidated basis throughout the financial statements. As a result and on a pro forma basis, the expiration would not be expected to have a material impact on historical net income (loss) and the Companys
historical reported revenues and expenses would increase. Expiration of the alliance will result in the loss of JPMorgan Chase branch referrals and access to the JPMorgan Chase brand. Additionally, expiration in 2008 will cause the Company to incur
an obligation associated with taxes. Based on preliminary estimates and assumptions this obligation could be in excess of $200 million. A significant portion of this obligation may, however, be recovered through the future amortization of
increased tax basis generated by this event. Expiration will also pose the following potential risks: loss of certain processing volume over time, disruption of the business due to the need to identify and transition to a new financial institution
sponsorship and clearing services for the merchants allocated to FDC, and post-expiration competition by JPMorgan, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations and results.

Other

In July 2008, IPS agreed with The Western
Union Company (Western Union) that on October 1, 2009 IPS will assign and transfer to Western Union, among other things, certain assets and equipment used by IPS to issue retail money orders and an amount sufficient to satisfy all
outstanding retail money orders. On the closing date, Western Union will assume IPSs role as issuer of the retail money orders. The transfer will result in a significant decrease to the IPS settlement asset portfolio.

Results of Operations

Consolidated
results should be read in conjunction with segment results, which provide more detailed discussions concerning certain components of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

NM - Not Meaningful

The following provides highlights of revenue and expense growth for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007, while a more detailed discussion is included in the Segment Results section below:

Operating revenues overview

Transaction and processing service fees  Revenue increased due to the growth of existing clients,
increased transaction volumes, acquisitions and the benefit of foreign currency exchange rate movements. This increase was partially offset by price compression and lost business. Growth rates slowed in the second quarter 2008 compared to the first
quarter 2008 due to a slow down in the economy and the grow over impact of the expansion of Electronic Check Acceptance (ECA) into more locations of large national retailers in the second quarter 2007.

Investment income, net  The increase in investment income is mostly due to reduced commissions that are netted against earnings on the official check and
money order business investment portfolio in the IPS segment. The reduced commissions were caused by favorable changes in interest rates and modifications to the contract terms made in conjunction with the wind-down of the official check and money
order business. Investment income also increased as a result of repositioning the IPS portfolio to taxable investments; however, this increase was more than offset by decreases resulting from lower market interest rates and a decrease in the
portfolio balances caused by the wind-down of the official check and money order business. Investment income declined in the second quarter 2008 over the first quarter 2008 and the Company expects that investment income will continue to decline in
future quarters as the official check and money order business continues to wind-down. IPS segment revenues benefited from the above noted items but were partially offset by a decrease resulting from presenting the segments revenues on a
pretax equivalent basis in 2007 but not in 2008. Such presentation is not necessary in 2008 due to the repositioning of the portfolio to taxable investments. The impact of this segment presentation in 2007 was eliminated for consolidated reporting
purposes.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



Product sales and other Increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 over the same
periods in 2007 due to an increase in royalty income of approximately $12 million and $40 million, respectively, within All Other and Corporate, the impact of acquisitions and an increase in the International segment terminal sales partially offset
by decreases resulting from a decline in professional services revenue due to completed projects, higher contract termination fees in 2007 and a portfolio sale in 2007.

Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other  Increased most significantly due to increases in debit network fees resulting from the continued growth of PIN-debit transaction volumes as well as rate
increases imposed by the debit networks and due to an increase in postal rates.

Operating expenses overview

Cost of services The majority of the increase is due to the impact of acquisitions. Outside professional services expense increased due to global labor
sourcing initiatives, consulting expenses and data center consolidation. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in employee related expenses due to a decrease in share-based compensation resulting from the Companys new equity
compensation plan implemented after the merger as compared to the pre-merger equity compensation plan, within All Other and Corporate, as well as decreases resulting from merger-related reductions in force, the largest of which occurred in the
fourth quarter 2007. Also, partially offsetting the increase was a decrease in check net warranty expense for the quarter due to changes in warranty rates as well as the grow over of the ECA expansion into more locations of large national retailers
in the second quarter of 2007. Cost of services, as a percentage of transaction and processing service fee revenue, decreased slightly as a result of the items noted above.

Cost of products sold Increased due to acquisitions and increased terminal sales within the International segment offset partially by a decrease in costs associated with terminal and software sales due
to a decline in sales volumes domestically.

Selling, general and administrative  Decreased due to a decline in employee related expenses
resulting from a decrease in share-based compensation expense due to the Companys new equity compensation plan implemented after the merger as compared to the pre-merger equity compensation plan and legal fees related to the merger incurred in
2007, both within All Other and Corporate, as well as merger-related reductions in force. Partially offsetting these decreases are the impacts of acquisitions as well as sponsor management fees.

Depreciation and Amortization Increased significantly in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the amortization of identifiable
intangible assets recorded in purchase accounting related to the merger as well as amortization of customer relationships on an accelerated basis in the successor period. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease related to the depreciation
of fixed assets recorded in purchase accounting related to the merger. Although the total value of the fixed assets increased from pre-merger book values, certain of the depreciable assets were determined to have longer lives which resulted in lower
annual depreciation.

Other operating expenses, net

Restructuring charges during the first quarter of 2007 resulted from efforts to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the sales and sales support teams within the Merchant Services segment. This action
resulted in the termination of approximately 230 sales related employees comprising approximately 10% of the segments regional sales, cross-sale and sales support organizations. The charges recorded in second quarter 2007 resulted from the
termination of approximately 120 employees within the International segment. The terminations were associated with the data center consolidation and global sourcing initiatives.

During the first quarter 2007, the Company recorded a charge of $16.3 million related to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets associated with
the wind-down of the Companys official check and money order business. In addition, during the second quarter 2007, the Company recorded a $5.0 million litigation accrual associated with a judgment against the Company pertaining to a vendor
contract issue in the Prepaid Services segment. Also, during the second quarter 2007, the Company released a portion of the domestic escheatment accrual made in the fourth quarter 2005 which is reflected in Other. The release was
prompted by reaching resolution with a large majority of all the states as to the Companys escheatment liability.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased significantly compared to the same periods in 2007 due
to debt of approximately $22.8 billion at June 30, 2008, incurred primarily as the result of the merger, compared to approximately $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2007. Higher interest rates on the new merger related debt also contributed to
the increase.

The investment gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from the sale of
MasterCard stock. The derivative financial instruments gains and losses for the three and six month periods in 2008 were due most significantly to the mark-to-market adjustments for cross currency swaps that were not designated as accounting hedges,
certain interest rate swaps that were not designated as accounting hedges for a period of time and the ineffectiveness from interest rate swaps that were designated as accounting hedges but are not perfectly effective.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the net non-operating foreign currency exchange losses related to the mark-to-market of the
Companys intercompany loans and the euro-denominated debt issued in connection with the merger. Historically, intercompany loans were deemed to be of a long-term nature for which settlement was not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable
future. Accordingly, the translation adjustments were reported in Other comprehensive income. Effective in September 2007 and in conjunction with the merger, the Company made the decision to begin settling intercompany loans which
results in a benefit or charge to earnings due to movement in foreign currency exchange rates.

Income taxes

The Companys effective tax rate on pretax (loss) income was (30.2%) and (34.4%), a tax benefit, for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, respectively, and 23.4% and 21.2%, a tax expense, for the same periods in 2007. The effective tax benefits in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 are less than the statutory rate due primarily to state tax accruals
and continued accruals on prior year uncertain tax positions and increases in valuation allowances. Prior to the second quarter of 2008, the Companys tax benefit was increased by the accrual of a dividend received deduction on certain of the
equity earnings from Chase Paymentech. It was determined that the alliance would suspend its dividend payments on 2008 earnings due to the anticipated termination of the alliance. Following the suspension of dividend payments, the Company has
reversed the dividend received tax benefit in the second quarter 2008. Accruals in uncertain tax positions and increases in valuation allowances were substantially offset by other items for the 2008 six-month period. The 2007 effective tax rate, for
the three and six month periods, was below the statutory rate due to the impact of non-taxable interest income from the IPS municipal bond portfolio. This non-taxable interest income significantly reduced the effective tax rate for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 by 12 and 15 percentage points, respectively. Other items that impacted the effective tax rate are not individually significant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits accrued under FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income

liability was recorded through cash payments and a decrease to goodwill. As of June 30, 2008, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its
liability for unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months; however, the Company does not expect the change to significantly increase or decrease the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.

Equity earnings in affiliates

The decrease in equity
earnings in affiliates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was due to increased amortization associated with the value assigned to the identifiable intangible assets of merchant alliances in the
preliminary intangible asset valuation resulting from the merger as well as amortization of customer relationships on an accelerated basis in the successor period. As discussed in Overview above, equity earnings will decrease
significantly subsequent to the termination of the Chase Paymentech alliance.

Segment Results

As discussed above in Overview, results of operations reflect the segment realignment.

transaction volume due to consumer spending at the point of sale. Although overall transaction growth rates remained stable in the second quarter 2008 compared to first quarter 2008, revenue growth slowed due to a shift in transaction volumes from
local and regional merchants to national discount merchants from which the Company realizes lower per transaction revenues. The Company believes the move to national discount merchants is partially attributable to the slowing domestic economy.

Also contributing to slower growth in revenue is the continued growth of debit card transactions exceeding the growth in credit card
transactions. This also continues to contribute to the spread between the transaction growth rate and the transaction and processing service fee revenue growth rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods
in 2007 as the Company generally realizes lower revenues from debit card transactions than from credit card transactions. The Company expects that overall transaction growth will slow slightly in the third quarter.

Product sales and other revenue

The decrease in
product sales and other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was driven by decreased terminal sales resulting from slowing in equipment demand in part due to elevated prior year
placements associated with merchants having to remain compliant with association rules. Also, contributing to the decrease for the six month period was a portfolio sale in the first quarter 2007.

Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other

The increase in reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the comparable periods in 2007 was due to growth in debit network fees resulting from the continued growth of
PIN-debit transaction volumes as well as rate increases imposed by the debit networks. Debit network fees represent substantially all of the balance within this line item.

Equity earnings

The increase in equity earnings in affiliates for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 resulted most significantly from increased merchant transaction volume in the merchant equity alliances. The equity earnings presented as part of revenue at the segment level do not include the
impact of amortization of intangible assets which is netted against equity earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Other revenue

The decrease in other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 is due to reduced
investment income and resulted most significantly from the liquidation of investments as a result of the merger as well as a reduction in interest rates earned on settlement assets.

Operating profit

Merchant Services segment operating profit decreased in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due to an increase of approximately $147 million and $284 million, respectively (affecting the operating profit growth rate by 56 and 62 percentage points, respectively) in amortization
expense resulting from the purchase price assigned to intangible

assets from the merger. A decrease of approximately 2 percentage points, for both the three and six month periods, respectively, resulted from the portfolio
sale in 2007 mentioned above. There was also incremental platform consolidation, data center consolidation and global labor sourcing expenses that contributed to the decreased operating profit. Partially offsetting these decreases and during the
first quarter of 2007, the Company incurred a charge when it bought out a revenue sharing agreement as part of a new, larger relationship with Discover. The absence of a similar charge in 2008 benefited the six month operating profit growth rate by
2 percentage points.

Credit card, retail card and debit processing revenue

Credit card, retail card and debit processing revenue was flat for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This was impacted by credit and retail card processing revenue being slightly lower primarily due to price compression partially offset by growth of existing clients and net new business and by
debit processing revenue increasing mostly due to growth of existing clients and the FundsXpress acquisition partially offset by price compression and net lost business.

For the six month periods the credit card and retail card processing revenue declined with the
offsetting factors noted above as well as the Instant Cash Services® acquisition while debit processing revenue increased due to the factors noted above.

FIRST DATA CORPORATION

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



Check processing revenue

Check processing revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007. The decrease for the three-month period was the result of declines in overall check
volumes and net lost business. The decrease for the six-month period resulted from declines in overall check volumes partially offset by net new business. The Company expects similar declines in the third quarter.

Other revenue

Other revenue consists mostly of
revenue from the Companys output services, government payments business and remittance processing. Other revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 primarily due to net lost
business partially offset by growth of existing clients. The lost business includes statement production, remittance processing and call volumes. The Company expects similar declines for the remainder of the year.

Product sales and other revenue

Product sales and
other revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due to a decrease in professional service fees in 2008 in the credit card, retail card and utility business. Largely offsetting the
decrease in the three month period is an increase due to contract termination fees received in 2008.

Reimbursable postage and other revenue

The increase in reimbursable postage and other revenue was due to growth of existing clients and an increase in the postage rates in
May 2007 and 2008 partially offset by lost business.

Operating profit

Financial Services segment operating profit decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due to an increase of approximately $39 million and $73 million
(negatively impacting the operating profit growth rate by 26 and 25 percentage points) in amortization expense resulting from the purchase price assigned to intangible assets from the merger. Operating profit was further negatively impacted by lost
business and price compression resulting from contract renewals as well as incremental platform consolidation, data center consolidation and global labor sourcing expenses partially offset by new business, decreases in compensation and other
operating expenses.

Summary

During the first quarter 2008, the International segments regions were revised. The revised regions are:
Western Europe, Middle East and Africa (WEMEA), Central and Southern Europe (CESE), Asia Pacific (APAC) and Latin America and Canada (LAC).

Revenue growth in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was driven by acquisitions, benefit from foreign
currency exchange rate movements, growth of existing clients and net new business partially offset by price compression. Acquisitions contributed 12 and 11 percentage points, respectively to segment revenue growth for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 over the comparable periods in 2007. The most significant of these acquisitions were First Data Polska in the CESE region and the joint venture with AIB in the WEMEA region. Foreign currency exchange rate movements positively
impacted total revenue growth rates by 8 percentage points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2007.

Transaction and processing service fees revenue

Transaction and processing service fees revenue
increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due generally to the factors noted above. Acquisitions impacted growth most significantly followed by foreign currency exchange rate movements and
transaction volumes. Revenue growth in WEMEA was due to acquisitions, net new business relating to card processing services and growth of existing clients, partially offset by price compression. The acquisitions in the WEMEA region provide merchant
acquiring services. Revenue growth in CESE was mostly due to foreign currency exchange rate movements, acquisitions and growth of existing clients partially offset by price compression and net lost business. The acquisition in the CESE region
provides both merchant acquiring and card processing services across the region. Revenue growth in APAC was due mostly to growth of existing clients, foreign currency exchange rate movements and acquisitions partially offset by net lost business and
price compression. Revenue growth in LAC was due mostly to growth from existing clients and foreign exchange rate movements partially offset by price compression in the card issuing services businesses.

Transaction and processing service fee revenue is driven by accounts on file and transactions. The spread between growth in these two indicators and
revenue growth was driven mostly by the change in the mix of transaction types resulting from acquisitions. The effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations also contributed to the spread.

Product sales and other revenue

The increase in product sales and other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 over the same periods in 2007 resulted from increased terminal-related revenue and the impact of acquisitions
partially offset by a decrease in professional services fees in 2008 due to the completion of projects in 2007 as well as contract termination fees received in 2007.

Operating profit

The segments operating profit decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 due to certain items including the impact of purchase accounting, which was approximately $4.0 million and $5.8 million (negatively impacting the operating profit growth rate by approximately
12 and 8 percentage points), partially offset by the beneficial impact of the factors described above, including acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate movements. Also negatively impacting segment operating profit was a credit loss expense
recorded as a result of a customer bankruptcy of approximately $2.3 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively (negatively impacting the operating profit growth rate by approximately 7 and 12
percentage points), as well as incremental infrastructure and platform consolidation expenses in the WEMEA and CESE regions.

Capital Resources and
Liquidity

The Companys source of liquidity during the first six months of 2008 was principally cash generated from operating
activities. The Company believes its current level of cash and short-term financing capabilities along with future cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the needs of its existing businesses. The following discussion highlights the
Companys cash flow activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible
to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company held $655.3 million and $606.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $225.9 million and $203.4 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization increased in 2008 due to the merger. Other non-cash and
non-operating items and charges include restructuring, impairments, litigation and regulatory settlements, other and other income (expense) as well as undistributed earnings in affiliates, stock compensation expense and interest expense associated
with the senior unsecured PIK term loan that was paid by increasing the principal amount of the loan. The change in 2008 compared to 2007 resulted most significantly from the interest expense associated with the senior unsecured PIK term loan
facility and the non-operating foreign currency loss mostly offset by undistributed equity earnings (in conjunction with the impending wind-up of the Chase Paymentech alliance, a first quarter alliance distribution was not made to the Company in the
second quarter of 2008 and a second quarter distribution in the third quarter of 2008 is similarly not planned), a decrease in stock based compensation expense resulting from the merger and gains on the sale of MasterCard Stock.

The change in accounts receivable between years was the result of uses of cash for restructuring
certain settlement arrangements in 2007, a decrease in receivables due to the wind-down of the official check and money order business and the timing of collections compared to billings. The increased source of cash in other assets in 2008 was due
most significantly to increased amortization of deferred financing costs. The change in accounts payable and other liabilities between years resulted from timing and level of payments and accruals for various liabilities, the most significant impact
related to employee liabilities (specifically the payment of an all cash bonus in 2008 for 2007 in contrast to the prior year) and a contribution to the United Kingdom pension plan. The change in income tax accounts resulted from a tax benefit in
2008 compared to a tax provision in 2007 as well as reduced net tax payments in 2008 versus 2007. The Company expects approximately $80 million of cash payments during the remainder of 2008 related to restructuring activities and approximately $40
million of cash payments in 2008 related to global sourcing initiatives.

The excess tax benefit from share-based payment arrangement in
2007 related to the exercise of stock options.

Short-Term Borrowings, net

The source of cash related to short-term borrowings in 2008 resulted from an additional net $70 million draw on the senior secured revolving credit facility as well as timing of draws and payments on credit lines
associated with settlement activity. The use of cash in 2007 was due to net proceeds and cash outlays related to the issuance and paydown of commercial paper as well as other short-term debt.

Principal Payments on Long-Term Debt

The Company
made payments of $63.9 million related to its term loan facility during the first six months of 2008. In January 2007, the Company repurchased $32.4 million of its 4.7% senior notes due August 1, 2013, $30.2 million of its 4.85% senior notes
due October 1, 2014, and $28.0 million of its 4.95% senior notes due June 15, 2015.

Payments for capital leases were $29.5
million for 2008 and $24.0 million for 2007.

Proceeds from Issuance of Common Stock

Proceeds during 2007 resulted from stock option exercises and purchases under the Companys employee stock purchase plan.

Capital Contributed by Parent

The Company received a
capital contribution from its parent, First Data Holdings, Inc., comprised of the proceeds from purchases of shares in Holdings by certain management employees of FDC.

Excess Tax Benefit from Share-based Payment Arrangement

Purchase of Treasury Shares

During the first six months of 2007, the Company repurchased 8.6 million shares for $248.4 million related to employee benefit plans. The difference between the cost of shares repurchased noted above and the

maximum amount available under these facilities, which varies for peak needs during the year, totals 245 million Polish zloty, or approximately $114 million. The Company had no amount outstanding against these lines of credit as of
June 30, 2008 and an immaterial amount outstanding at December 31, 2007.

The Companys Merchant Solutions joint venture
partner funds settlement activity on behalf of the joint venture in accordance with the joint ventures operating agreement and on an uncommitted basis. The joint venture, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, had $64.8 million and
$15.6 million outstanding under this agreement as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Significant Non-Cash Transactions

During 2008, the principal amount of the Companys senior unsecured PIK term loan facility increased by $123.7 million resulting
from the payment of accrued interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company entered into approximately $47 million of capital leases.

Significant non-cash transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 included the grant of approximately 3.7 million shares of
restricted stock to certain employees.

Guarantees and Covenant Compliance

For a description of guarantees and covenants and covenant compliance refer to the Guarantees and Covenants and Covenant
Compliance sections in Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is in compliance with all applicable covenants as of

|(14) | EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and
does not purport to be an alternative to income from continuing operations as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash
flow available for managements discretionary use as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and
should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Companys results as reported under GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are
outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. In
addition, EBITDA provides more comparability between the Companys predecessor results and the Companys successor results that reflect purchase accounting and the Companys new capital structure. Management compensates for the
limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain items and other adjustments and is used by management as a measure of liquidity.
The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items, non-recurring items that the
Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future and certain items management believes will materially impact future operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA plus projected near-term cost savings is defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to reflect cost savings projected to be achieved within twelve months on an annualized basis principally in
connection with cost savings initiatives described in Note 7. Management believes the supplementary adjustments are appropriate to provide investors additional information about near term cost cutting initiatives.

Consolidated EBITDA (or debt covenant EBITDA) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus projected near-term cost savings further adjusted to exclude other
adjustments that will be used in calculating covenant compliance under the agreements governing the Companys senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to
Adjusted EBITDA plus projected near-term cost savings applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about items that will impact the calculation of EBITDA that is used to determine covenant
compliance under the agreements governing the Companys senior unsecured debt and/or senior secured credit facilities. Since not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures of other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, other than facility and equipment leasing arrangements, the Company did not engage in
off-balance sheet financing activities. The Company had several synthetic operating lease arrangements. Rent expense related to synthetic operating leases was $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively. On September 20, 2007, the Company purchased the buildings and equipment under its synthetic operating lease arrangements as contractually required due to change in control provisions contained in the agreements as the result of
the merger.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Companys contractual obligation and commercial commitments from those reported at December 31, 2007 in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K other than an $11 million reduction in the Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits accrued under the provisions of FIN 48 as discussed in the Income Taxes section above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 141(R), Business Combinations. The new standard will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions in the consolidated financial statements. It will require an acquirer to
recognize, at the acquisition date, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their full fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages (step acquisitions), the
acquirer will be required to remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. The acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will no
longer be included as part of the capitalized cost of the acquired entity but will be required to be accounted for separately in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statement clarifies the definition of a non-controlling (or minority) interest and
requires that non-controlling interests in subsidiaries be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position and requires that earnings attributed to the non-controlling interests be reported as part of
consolidated earnings and not as a separate component of income or expense. However, it will also require expanded disclosures of the attribution of consolidated earnings to the controlling and non-controlling interests on the face of the
consolidated income statement. SFAS No. 160 will require that changes in a parents controlling ownership interest, that do not result in a loss of control of the subsidiary, are accounted for as equity transactions among shareholders in
the consolidated entity therefore resulting in no gain or loss recognition in the income statement. Only when a subsidiary is deconsolidated will a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and will be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements that will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

As discussed in Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company is exposed to market risk from interest rates resulting from its official check and money order business. The continued wind-down of this business
resulted in a decrease in its investment portfolio balance as well as a decrease in commissions during the six months ended June 30, 2008. In June 2008, the Company entered into agreements which, among other things and most significantly,
amended the interest rates on the senior unsecured term loan agreement and the senior subordinated unsecured term loan agreement converting the interest rates on approximately $7 billion in borrowings from variable to fixed. There were no other
material changes from what was reported in the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K related to its exposure to market risk from interest rates. Using June 30, 2008 balances, a 10% proportionate increase in short-term interest rates on
an annualized basis compared to the interest rates at June 30, 2008 and a corresponding and parallel shift in the remainder of the yield curve, would result in an increase to pretax income of approximately $0.5 million. The $0.5 million
increase to pre-tax income (due to 10% increase in variable rates as of June 30, 2008) is a combination of the following: a) $14.8 million increase in interest expense related to the Companys balance of variable interest rate debt, net of
interest rate swaps, at June 30, 2008 and b) $15.3 million increase in interest income associated with operating cash balances, settlement related cash balances, and investment positions (netted with commissions paid to selling agents).

Foreign Currency Risk

There have been
no material changes from the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 related to its exposure to market risk from foreign currency.

Regulatory

Through its merchant alliances, the Merchant Services segment holds an ownership interest
in several competing merchant acquiring businesses while serving as the electronic processor for those businesses. In order to satisfy state and federal antitrust requirements, the Company actively maintains an antitrust compliance program.

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures

The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to cause information required to be disclosed in reports
that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company has evaluated, under the supervision of its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008, to ensure that material information regarding the Company is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow the
Company to meet its disclosure obligations.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the above evaluation that occurred
during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

From time to time, the Company
is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. None of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, currently is material to the Company except those matters reported in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the Annual Report) and the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 (the Quarterly Report). There were no
material developments in the litigation matters previously disclosed except as discussed below.

In Re: Concord EFS, Inc. Shareholders Litigation

In the In Re: Concord EFS, Inc. Shareholders Litigationaction that was previously reported in the Annual Report and Quarterly
Report, on May 22, 2008 the Court entered a final judgment in favor of Concord, dismissing the action. On May 29, 2008 the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.

Data Treasury

In the Data Treasury actions that were previously reported in the Annual
Report, the parties currently are engaged in mediation.



|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

Except as described below, there are
no material changes to the risk factors as reported in the Companys Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008. The information below should be
read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in the Companys form 10-K.

The Companys cost saving plans are based
on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate which may negatively impact the Companys operating results.

The Company is in
the process of consolidating its data centers and command centers in the United States and internationally. In addition, the Company is implementing a technology outsourcing initiative, a cost reduction effort related to overhead spending (including
corporate functions and overhead expenses embedded in the Companys segments) and other cost improvement and cost containment programs across all of the Companys business segments. While the Company expects its cost saving initiatives to
result in significant cost savings throughout the Companys organization, its estimated savings are based on several assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, and as a result the Company cannot assure that it will realize these cost savings.
The failure to achieve the Companys estimated cost savings would negatively affect its financial condition and results of operations.

The
early expiration of the Companys alliance with Chase Paymentech may adversely impact the Company.

The Companys largest merchant alliance, Chase Paymentech SolutionsTM, a global payments and merchant acquiring
entity, is 51% owned by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., and 49% owned by FDC. On May 27, 2008, the Company announced it had reached an agreement with JPMorgan to end the Chase Paymentech joint venture by the end of 2008. In the interim, the
Company and JPMorgan will continue to operate the joint venture. After the transition, the Company and JPMorgan will operate separate payment businesses. The Company will continue to provide transaction processing and data commerce solutions for
allocated merchants through its current technology platforms. The Company will integrate 49% of the joint ventures assets and a portion of the joint venture employees into its existing merchant acquiring business. The Company has historically
accounted its minority interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. After the transition, the portion of the alliances business retained by the Company will be reflected on a consolidated basis throughout the financial
statements. As a result and on a pro forma basis, the expiration would not be expected to have a material impact on historical net income (loss) and the Companys historical reported revenues and expenses would increase. However, expiration of
the alliance will result in the loss of JPMorgan branch referrals and access to the JPMorgan brand. Additionally, the wind-up of the joint venture will cause the Company to incur an obligation associated with taxes. Based on preliminary estimates
and assumptions this obligation could be in excess of $200 million. A significant portion of this obligation may, however, be recovered through the future amortization of increased tax basis generated by this event. Expiration will also pose the
following potential risks: loss of certain processing volume over time, disruption of the business due to the need to identify and transition to a new financial institution sponsorship and clearing services for the merchants allocated to the
Company, and post-expiration competition by JPMorgan, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations and results.

Global economics, political and other conditions may adversely affect trends in consumer spending, which may
adversely impact the Companys revenue and profitability.

The global electronic payments industry depends heavily upon the
overall level of consumer, business and government spending. A sustained deterioration in the general economic conditions, particularly in the United States or Europe, or increases in interest rates in key countries in which the Company operates may
adversely affect the Companys financial performance by reducing the number of average purchase amount of transactions involving payment cards. A reduction in the amount of consumer spending could result in a decrease of the Companys
revenue and profits.

Specifically, general economic conditions in the United States continue to show signs of weakening. Many of the
Companys businesses rely in part on the number and size of consumer transactions which may be challenged by a declining U.S. economy and difficult capital markets. After experiencing a rebound in the early part of 2008 from the slow 2007
holiday spending period, domestic merchant transaction growth has since slowed slightly. This reduction in spending is across a wide range of categories, with discounters showing less of an effect than smaller retailers. Broad slowdowns in consumer
spending could have a material adverse impact on future revenues and profits.

The Company is subject to the credit risk that its merchants and
agents will be unable to satisfy obligations for which the Company may also be liable.

The Company is subject to the credit risk of
its merchants and agents being unable to satisfy obligations for which the Company also may be liable. For example, the Company and its merchant acquiring alliances are contingently liable for transactions originally acquired by the Company
that are disputed by the card holder and charged back to the merchants. If the Company or the alliance are unable to collect this amount from the merchant, due to the merchants insolvency or other reasons, the Company or the alliance will
bear the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder. Also, the Companys subsidiary Integrated Payments Systems, Inc. potentially may be liable if holders of official checks that it issues are sold by an agent bank which then
becomes insolvent, to the extent that such liabilities are not federally insured or otherwise recovered through the receivership process. The Company has an active program to manage its credit risk and often mitigate its risk by obtaining
collateral. Notwithstanding the Companys program for managing its credit risk, it is possible that a default on such obligations by one or more of the Companys merchants or agents could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys business.
