NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


JUNE 30, 2011


(Unaudited)





1.  Basis of Presentation





The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hypercom Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Hypercom”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “our business”). The Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of all of its subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.





The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 from which the December 31, 2010 balance sheet amounts herein were derived.





Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.








2.  Completion of Merger with VeriFone





On August 4, 2011, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 17, 2010, among VeriFone Systems, Inc. (“VeriFone”), Hypercom, and Honey Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of VeriFone (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Hypercom with Hypercom continuing as the surviving entity and wholly owned subsidiary of VeriFone (the “Merger”).





At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Hypercom Common Stock”), of Hypercom issued and outstanding (other than shares of Hypercom Common Stock that were owned by VeriFone or Hypercom or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypercom and in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into and became exchangeable for 0.23 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of VeriFone (the “VeriFone Common Stock”).





In addition, options to acquire Hypercom Common Stock, restricted stock unit awards and other equity-based awards denominated in shares of Hypercom Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger were converted into options, restricted stock unit awards, or other equity-based awards, as the case may be, denominated in shares of VeriFone Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (in the case of options) equal to the exercise price of the option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger divided by the Exchange Ratio.





Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Hypercom divested its U.S. payment solutions business to The Gores Group, LLC as part of its settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, and divested its U.K. and Spain businesses to a wholly-owned subsidiary of KleinPartners Capital Corp.  Such divestitures were completed in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the Merger.





In connection with the closing of the Merger, Hypercom notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the consummation of the Merger and requested that trading in Hypercom Common Stock be suspended prior to the commencement of trading on August 5, 2011, and that Hypercom Common Stock be withdrawn from listing on the NYSE as of the opening of business on August 5, 2011. Hypercom has also requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on Form 25 to delist and deregister Hypercom Common Stock. Following the completion of the Merger, Hypercom Common Stock, which traded under the symbol “HYC”, ceased to be listed on the NYSE.

On April 19, 2010, the Company sold its Brazilian building for consideration of R$8.6 million Brazilian Reais (approximately $4.6 million U.S. Dollars), receiving R$2.9 million Brazilian Reais, or $1.7 million, upon execution of the sales agreement. The remainder was to be received in installments of 40% and 30% within 180 days and 270 days, respectively, of the signing of the sales agreement. The Company entered into a leaseback transaction with the buyer to allow for a transition of the Company’s services operations for a period of three months that ended on July 19, 2010.





The remaining installments have not been received as of June 30, 2011. On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with the buyer pursuant to which the funds for the remaining installment payments were deposited into escrow by the buyer and will be released to the Company upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement, including the Company putting up a letter of credit in Brazil in favor of the buyer covering certain contingencies related to the building.

9.  Long-term Debt





Revolving Credit Facilities





On January 15, 2008, certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a bank and other financial institutions. The Company and certain other subsidiaries are guarantors (together with the Borrowers, the “Obligors”) of the Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Agreement. The bank also serves as agent for the lenders under the Loan Agreement (the “Agent”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $25.0 million. Under the Loan Agreement, if certain conditions are met, the Borrowers may request an increase in the credit facility to an aggregate total of up to $40.0 million. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement and repaid or prepaid during the term may be reborrowed. Outstanding amounts under the Loan Agreement bore interest, at the Borrowers' option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 175 basis points or (ii) the bank's prime rate.





Availability of borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit under the Loan Agreement are subject to a borrowing base calculation based upon a valuation of the Company's eligible inventories (including raw materials, finished and semi-finished goods, and certain in-transit inventory) and eligible accounts receivable, each multiplied by an applicable advance rate.





On February 10, 2010, the Loan Agreement was amended to allow the Company to enter into a transaction between its

Table of Contents


former subsidiary, HBNet, and The McDonnell Group, as well as making additional changes, including, among others, providing for the outstanding amounts under the Loan Agreement to now bear interest, at the Company's option, at either: (i) LIBOR plus 200 or 250 basis points; or (ii) the bank's prime rate plus 50 or 75 basis points depending on certain financial ratios. In addition, the borrowing base was amended to eliminate inventory from the borrowing base calculation.





On December 30, 2010, the Loan Agreement was further amended whereby all amounts outstanding are now due on January 14, 2012. In addition, the revolving credit facility under the Loan Agreement is set at a maximum of up to $25.0 million (previously up to $40.0 million if certain conditions were met). No amounts were borrowed against the line of credit as of June 30, 2011. The Company had availability of $12.5 million as of June 30, 2011, which was decreased by outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.9 million at June 30, 2011. These letters of credit were collateralized with cash on August 3, 2011.





In addition to representations and warranties, covenants, conditions and other terms customary for instruments of this type, the Loan Agreement includes negative covenants that prohibit the Obligors from, among other things, incurring certain types of indebtedness (excluding indebtedness secured by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million for working capital purposes), making annual capital expenditures in excess of prescribed amounts, or disposing of certain assets. The Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, failure of any representation made by the Borrowers to be correct in any material respect, certain defaults relating to other material indebtedness, certain insolvency and receivership events affecting the Obligors, judgments in excess of $2.5 million in the aggregate being rendered against the Obligors, and the incurrence of certain liabilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act in excess of $1.0 million in the aggregate.





In the event of a default by the Borrowers, the Agent may, at the direction of the lenders, terminate the lenders' commitments to make loans under the Loan Agreement, declare the obligations under the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or Agent under the Loan Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the lenders are automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations become immediately due and payable. The obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Agreement are secured by inventory and accounts receivable of certain of the Company's subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom. The remaining balance of the Company's consolidated assets, including the subsidiaries acquired in connection with the TeT acquisition, is unencumbered under the Loan Agreement and, if needed, may be used as collateral for additional debt. The Company's obligations as guarantor under the Loan Agreement are unsecured.





In connection with the Merger, on August 4, 2011, the Company terminated the Loan Agreement.  In connection with such termination, the Company repaid all outstanding loans, interest and expenses accrued under the Loan Agreement through the date of termination, and all liens on assets of the borrowers under the Loan Agreement were terminated and released.











Acquisition Financing





In February 2008, in connection with the acquisition of TeT, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Francisco Partners II, L.P. (“FP II”) pursuant to a commitment letter dated December 20, 2007 between the parties. The Credit Agreement provided for a loan of up to $60.0 million to partially fund the acquisition at closing. The loan under the Credit Agreement bears interest at 10% per annum, provided that, at the election of the Company, interest may be capitalized and added to the principal of the loan to be repaid at maturity on April 1, 2012. The Company can voluntarily make prepayments in increments of $5.0 million without premium or penalty.





On funding of the loan under the Credit Agreement and the closing of the acquisition, FP II was granted a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase approximately 10.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. The estimated fair value of the Warrant at the date issued was $1.68 per share using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation date for the Warrant was February 14, 2008, when all relevant terms and conditions of the debt agreement had been reached.  The total fair value of the Warrant of $17.8 million was recorded as a discount to the acquisition financing and has been recognized in equity as additional paid in capital. The loan discount is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan and amounted to $2.5 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.





On March 18, 2011, FP II exercised the Warrant in full on a cashless exercise basis and the Company issued 5,923,492 shares of its common stock to FP II upon such exercise.





Also in connection with the Merger, on August 4, 2011, the Company terminated the Credit Agreement with FP II.  In connection with such termination, the Company repaid all outstanding loans and interest accrued under the Credit Agreement

10. Equity





Treasury Stock





Beginning in the second quarter of 2010, the Company elected to give employees a net-settlement option when restricted stock awards vest, whereby the Company buys from the employee the net common shares equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement. The cash value of these awards is then remitted to the taxing authorities to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements of the taxing authorities on the employees' behalf. The Company bought 129,903 shares at a cost of $1.3 million and 34,105 shares at a cost of $162,000, which was included in treasury stock at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.








11. Income Taxes





Income tax benefit (expense) before discontinued operations for federal, state and foreign taxes was $(0.3) million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rates for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 were (6.3)% and 11.4%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The benefit recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily the result of the release of tax contingency reserves upon the expiration of the statute of limitations. The Company continues to provide a full valuation reserve against substantially all of its deferred tax asset balances as of June 30, 2011. The valuation reserve is subject to reversal in future years at such time that the benefits are actually utilized or the operating profits in the United States become sustainable at a level that meets the recoverability criteria.





The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2011 was $45.9 million, of which $2.1 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate were it to be recognized.





The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to 2000. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the tax provision. Accrued interest and penalties at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

12. Commitments and Contingencies





Litigation





Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies . The Company's operations in Brazil are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former Company employees and employees of various service providers with whom the Company had contracted. The tax matters, which comprise a significant portion of the contingencies, principally relate to claims for taxes on the transfers of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals and gross revenue taxes. The Company is disputing these tax matters and intends to vigorously defend the Company's positions. The labor matters principally relate to claims made by former Company employees and by former employees of various vendors that provided contracted services to the Company and who are now asserting that under Brazil law the Company should be liable for the vendors' failure to pay wages, social security and other related labor benefits, as well as related tax obligations, as if the vendor's employees had been employees of the Company. As of June 30, 2011, the total amount related to the reserved portion of the tax and labor contingencies was $0.8 million and the unreserved portion of the tax and labor contingencies amounted totaled approximately $17.5 million. With respect to the unreserved balance, these have been assessed by management as being either remote or possible as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. Local laws and regulations often require that the Company to make deposits or post other security in connection with such proceedings. As of June 30, 2011 the Company had $5.4 million of cash deposits in Brazil regarding claims that the Company is disputing, liens on certain Brazilian assets as discussed in Note 5 with a net book value of $1.9 million, and approximately $2.7 million in letters of credit, all providing security with respect to these matters. Generally, any deposits would be refundable and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in the Company's favor. The Company routinely assesses these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability against its Brazilian operations and records the best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assessed the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.





CardSoft, Inc., et al. v. Hypercom Corporation, et al.  (United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, Civil Action No. 2:08-CV-00098, filed on March 6, 2008) . CardSoft, Inc. and CardSoft (Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors), LLC (collectively “CardSoft”) filed this action against the Company and others in March 2008, alleging that certain of the Company's terminal products infringe two patents allegedly owned by CardSoft: U.S. Patent No. 6,934,945 (the “'945 Patent”), entitled “Method and Apparatus for Controlling Communications,” issued on August 23, 2005, and U.S. Patent No. 7,302,683 (the “'683 Patent”), also entitled “Method and Apparatus for Controlling Communications,” issued on November 27, 2007, which is a continuation of the '945 patent. CardSoft is seeking a judgment of infringement, an injunction against further infringement, damages, interest and attorneys' fees. In June 2008, the Company filed its answer, denying liability on the basis of a lack of infringement, invalidity of the '945 Patent and the '683 Patent, laches, waiver, equitable estoppel and unclean hands, lack of damages and failure to state a claim. The Company also counterclaimed seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of the '945 Patent and the '683 Patent. The Markman hearing originally scheduled for July 20, 2011, was held on August 8, 2011, and trial is scheduled for November 7, 2011 in Marshall, Texas. This action is currently in the discovery stage and, as CardSoft has not made a specific claim for damages, the Company is unable to assess its range of potential loss.





Lisa Shipley v. Hypercom Corporation . (United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Civil Action No. 1:09-CV-0265, filed on January 30, 2009) . Lisa Shipley (“Shipley”), a former employee, filed this action against the Company in January 2009, alleging that the Company violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against her on the basis of her gender, violated the Georgia Wage Payment laws, the Equal Pay Act and Georgia law by paying her lower compensation based on her gender. Ms. Shipley is seeking compensatory damages for emotional distress, damage to reputation, embarrassment, lost wages, back pay, accrued interest, punitive damages, attorney's fees and expenses, and interest. In February 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss based on improper venue or, in the alternative, to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. In June 2009, the Court denied the motion. In June 2009, the Company filed its answer, generally denying the material allegations of Ms. Shipley's complaint. In October 2009, Ms. Shipley filed an amended complaint adding an allegation that the Company unlawfully retaliated against her. In November 2009, the Company filed its answer, denying the material allegations of the amended complaint. In February 2010, the Company filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings as to Ms. Shipley's retaliation claim, which the Court subsequently denied. On July 19, 2010, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on all claims. On February 15, 2011, the magistrate judge recommended that the Court grant the Company's motion for summary judgment as to Ms. Shipley's sexual harassment hostile work environment claim, the constructive discharge claim, and the Georgia wage payment statute claim, but denied the Company's motion for summary judgment as to her disparate treatment, retaliation, Equal Pay Act and Georgia Sex Discrimination in Employment Act claims. The Court adopted the magistrate judge's recommendations on March 8, 2011. On March 2, 2011, the Company filed a motion for leave to file a motion for partial summary judgment out of time seeking summary judgment on seven components of Ms. Shipley's disparate treatment Title VII claim, which was denied by the Court on March 8, 2011.

Company made an offer of judgment to Shipley in the amount of $125,000 on June 27, 2011. The offer of judgment expired on July 11, 2011 because it was not accepted by Shipley within fourteen days.  Trial is set for December 5, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia. This action is in the discovery stage and, as Ms. Shipley has not made a specific claim for damages. The Company has recorded our estimated loss in this case of $125,000.





Shareholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits . Commencing shortly after VeriFone publicly announced on September 30, 2010 that it had made an offer to acquire Hypercom and continuing following the announcement by the Company and VeriFone on November 17, 2010 that the Company had entered into a definitive merger agreement, certain putative class action lawsuits were filed in Arizona and Delaware state courts alleging variously, among other things, that the board of directors of Hypercom breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the merger and that VeriFone, Honey Acquisition Co., Hypercom, FP Hypercom Holdco, LLC, and Francisco Partners II, L.P. aided and abetted that alleged breach. These actions include: Gerber v. Hypercom, Delaware Court of Chancery, Case no. CA5868 (“Gerber”); Anarkat v. Hypercom, Maricopa County Superior Court, CV2010-032482 (“Anarkat”); Small v. Hypercom Corporation, Delaware Court of Chancery, Case no. CA6031 (Small”); Grayson v. Hypercom Corporation, Delaware Court of Chancery, Case no. CA6044 (Grayson”); and The Silverstein Living Trust v. Hypercom Corporation, Maricopa County Superior Court, Case no. CV2010-030941 (Silverstein”). The Anarkat and Silverstein cases have been consolidated in Maricopa County Superior Court as In Re Hypercom Corporation Shareholder Litigation, Lead Case No. CV2010-032482, and the Small and Grayson cases have been consolidated in the Delaware Court of Chancery as In Re Hypercom Corporation Shareholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 6031-VCL (the “Actions”). The Gerber case is dormant as the plaintiffs in that case have not prosecuted it since it was filed. On February 14, 2011, counsel for the plaintiffs and defendants in the Actions executed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Memorandum”) pursuant to which (i) the Company provided additional disclosures recommended by the plaintiffs to supplement its proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) the defendants agreed to provide plaintiffs' counsel with reasonable confirmatory discovery regarding the fairness and adequacy of the settlement and the additional disclosures, and (iii) the parties agreed to use their best efforts to execute and present to the court a formal stipulation of settlement within 45 days seeking court approval of (a) the settlement and dismissal of the Actions with prejudice, (b) the stay of all proceedings in the Actions, (c) the conditional certification of the Actions as a class action under Arizona law, (d) the release of all claims against the parties, (e) the defendants' payment of $510,000 to the plaintiffs' counsel for their fees and expenses, (f) the defendants' responsibility for providing notice of the settlement to members of the class, and (g) the dismissal of the Delaware actions following the court's final approval of the settlement. While the defendants deny that they have committed any violations of law or breaches of duties to the plaintiffs, the class or anyone else, and believe that their disclosures in the proxy statement regarding the merger were appropriate and adequate under applicable law, the defendants are entering into the settlement solely to eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, burden and expense of further litigation and to lessen the risk of any delay of the closing of the merger as a result of the litigation. The defendants have agreed that the payment to the plaintiffs' counsel will be jointly funded equally by VeriFone and the carrier of Hypercom's directors and officers liability insurance policy, while the Company will bear the cost of the $250,000 deductible amount under the insurance policy.

Table of Contents





Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the income were divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares from outstanding stock options and warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and represent incremental shares issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities are not considered in the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their impact would not be dilutive. The following table reconciles the weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.





On March 18, 2011, FP II exercised its Warrant in full on a cashless exercise basis and the Company issued 5,923,492 shares of its common stock to the Holder upon such exercise. The weighted average of common shares outstanding for the exercised Warrant as included in the basic shares computation for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was 3,174,468.

Completion of Merger with VeriFone





The Merger was completed on August 4, 2011. At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of Hypercom Common Stock issued and outstanding (other than shares of Hypercom Common Stock that were owned by VeriFone or Hypercom or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypercom and in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into and became exchangeable at the Exchange Ratio for shares of VeriFone Common Stock.





At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of  Hypercom Common Stock issued and outstanding (other than shares of Hypercom Common Stock that were owned by VeriFone or Hypercom or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypercom and in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into and became exchangeable at the Exchange Ratio for VeriFone Common Stock.





In addition, options to acquire Hypercom Common Stock, restricted stock unit awards and other equity-based awards denominated in shares of Hypercom Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger were converted into options, restricted stock unit awards, or other equity-based awards, as the case may be, denominated in shares of VeriFone Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (in the case of options) equal to the exercise price of the option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger divided by the Exchange Ratio.





Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Hypercom divested its U.S. payment solutions business to The Gores Group, LLC as part of its settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, and divested its U.K. and Spain businesses to a wholly-owned subsidiary of KleinPartners Capital Corp.  Such divestitures were completed in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the Merger.





In connection with the closing of the Merger, Hypercom notified the NYSE of the consummation of the Merger and requested that trading in Hypercom Common Stock be suspended prior to the commencement of trading on August 5, 2011, and that Hypercom Common Stock be withdrawn from listing on the NYSE as of the opening of business on August 5, 2011. Hypercom has also requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on Form 25 to delist and deregister Hypercom Common Stock. Following the completion of the Merger, Hypercom Common Stock, which traded under the symbol “HYC”, ceased to be listed on the NYSE.

Product Revenue





The increase in product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was principally due to increased sales of $8.7 million in our SEMEA segment due to stronger demands in virtually all product lines. Sales in our Asia-Pacific segment increased by $4.9 million due to stronger demands,  while our NEMEA segment sales increased by $2.1 million due to stronger demands in our E-Health business.  These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million reduction in product revenue in our Americas segment mainly due to lower product sales in Brazil.





The increase in product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was principally due to increased sales of $13.8 million in SEMEA due to stronger demand along with increased sales in Asia-Pacific of $14.2 million also due to stronger demands of our countertop and mobile products.





Services Revenue





Services revenue increased by $5.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010 due to a higher volume of services in SEMEA,  and stronger demand in South America.





Segment Revenue





Our operations are managed and reviewed through four geographic regions that we designate as reportable segments.





The following table sets forth the revenues by business segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Net revenue for the Americas segment decreased by $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010 principally as a result to lower product sales in Brazil.





Net revenue for the Americas segment increased by $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010, principally as a result of $4.6 million of higher sales in Mexico and the Caribbean due to stronger demands, partially offset by $3.9 million of lower sales in North America and lower product sales in Brazil.





Net revenue for the NEMEA segment increased by $2.7 million and $0.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the same periods in 2010 principally due to stronger demand in our E-Health and PINPad sales.





Net revenue for the SEMEA segment increased by $11.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the same periods in 2010, principally due to stronger demands in Eastern and Central Europe as well and the United Kingdom.





Net revenue for the Asia-Pacific segment increased by $5.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 from the same periods in 2009, principally due to stronger demand in the region in our countertop and mobile products.





Gross Profit





Our costs of revenue include the cost of raw materials, manufacturing, supply chain, service labor, overhead and subcontracted manufacturing costs, telecommunications costs, inventory valuation provisions and loan loss provisions with respect to sales-type leases included in continuing operations.

Product Gross Margin





The increase in product gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was principally due to higher Networking  sales (which carry higher margins) in Asia-Pacific, partially offset by lower margin sales in Latin America.





The decrease in product gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010 was principally due to approximately $2.3 million of higher component costs and by $1.2 million of excess and obsolescence charges primarily due to end of life products and lower margin sales in Indonesia and Latin America.





Services Gross Margin





The increase in services gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was principally due to higher sales and improved margins in Brazil.





The decrease in services gross margin for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was principally due to higher  contract labor in Brazil related to our reorganization of our service business. In addition, there were two items that occurred during the first quarter of 2010 that did not occur during the first quarter of 2011 - a favorable sales tax settlement in Brazil ($0.4 million) and a software sale of $0.3 million in North America.

R&D expenses increased $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to development work for our next generation of products within a joint development manufacturing model.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $8.4 million compared to the same period in 2010. The increase consists of a $2.2 million increase in professional fees  primarily related to the Merger. Bonus, retention bonuses and commission expenses  increased by $4.1 million due to increased sales and as part of a plan to retain key employees during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Operating income in the Americas segment decreased by $1.9 million and $4.1 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010, respectively, principally as a result of lower margin sales of countertop products in Brazil and lower sales in North America.





Operating income in the NEMEA segment increased by $0.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. The increase was principally due to higher margin due to favorable product mix.





Operating income in the NEMEA segment decreased by $0.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010. The decrease was principally due to lower revenues and higher product costs, partially offset by favorable product mix in the second quarter of 2011.





Operating income in the SEMEA segment increased by $2.8 and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, principally due to higher sales volume.





Operating income in the Asia-Pacific segment increased by $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, principally due to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower margin sales in Indonesia.





Shared Cost Centers expenses increased by $8.8 million and $13.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, principally due to higher legal expenses related to the merger and divestitures activities, higher warranty charges, and by higher global R&D development costs for our planned next generation of terminal products.





Non-GAAP Measures





We provide non-GAAP supplemental information, which excludes items such as restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, gain on sale of assets, non-cash amortization for discount on warrants issued for long-term debt, and professional fees related to the Merger, to facilitate meaningful period-to-period comparisons of underlying operational performance. These non-GAAP measurements are used for internal management assessments because such measures provide additional insight into ongoing financial performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information may be useful to investors and analysts for many of the same reasons that management finds these measures useful.





Non-GAAP financial measures exclude many significant items that are also important to understanding and assessing our financial performance. Additionally, in evaluating alternative measures of operating performance, it is important to understand that there are no standards for these calculations. Accordingly, the lack of standards can result in subjective determinations by management about which items may be excluded from the calculations, as well as the potential for inconsistencies between different companies that have similarly titled alternative measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, disclosures made in accordance with GAAP.





Pursuant to Regulation G, a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below:

Management refers to constant currency rate adjustment as growth in a constant currency basis or adjusting for currency so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the company's business performance.  Generally, when the U.S. Dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates.

Incurred fees on M&A related activities3,328—5,516—Adjusted EBITDA$4,152$8,160$8,565$16,418








Non-Operating Income





Non-operating income consists of net interest expense, foreign currency gains and losses, and other income and losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, our interest expense net of interest income was $3.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively, compared to $3.2 and $5.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. The increase was due to the interest conversion into additional debt. In addition, interest expense includes an additional $0.4 million unamortized warrant discount related to amounts retired early for the six months ended June 30, 2011.





Provision for Income Taxes





Income tax benefit (expense) before discontinued operations for federal, state and foreign taxes was ($0.3) million and $1.1million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.





Our effective tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income subject to varying foreign, state and local taxes and other items. The consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was impacted by our cumulative net operating loss position and the provision of a full valuation reserve against our deferred tax assets.





As of June 30, 2011, we continue to provide a valuation reserve against substantially all deferred tax asset balances. The valuation reserve is subject to reversal in future years at such time that the benefits are actually utilized or, the operating profits in the United States and other jurisdictions become sustainable.





Income from Discontinued Operations





During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a gain from discontinued operations of $0.2 million and a loss of $0.1 million, respectively, compared to respective gains of zero and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as a result discontinuance of each of our European lease and services operations, United Kingdom leasing operations, and Australian courier business.














Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources





We have historically financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and from borrowings under a revolving credit facility and other debt facilities.





Cash Flows





Cash used in operating activities includes net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $9.9 million and $23.7 million, respectively, compared to cash used in operations of $6.40 million and $12.4 for the same periods in 2010. The principal reasons for the increase in cash used by operations were a larger operating loss and an increase in working capital needs to cover current and expected product demands.








Liquidity and Capital Resource s





At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents was $30.8 million compared to $33.3 million at December 31, 2010. Working capital decreased to $19.2 million from $79.6 million at December 31, 2010. We had availability of $12.5 million under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2011, which was decreased by outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.9 million as of June 30, 2011. The outstanding letters of credit were collateralized with cash immediately prior to our Merger

with VeriFone.   Our outstanding debt of $71 million as of August 5, 2011 was paid by VeriFone shortly after the close of the Merger.








Contractual Obligations





Other than changes in the ordinary course of business, our estimates as to future contractual obligations have not materially changed from the disclosure included under the subheading “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.








Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis we evaluate past judgments and our estimates, including those related to bad debts, product returns, long-term contracts, inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, foreign currency, and contingencies and litigation.





We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates.





The Company's significant accounting policies as reported in Hypercom's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been amended in the first quarter of 2011 upon the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting pronouncements discussed above. While the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements had no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the first quarter of 2011, the Company's previously disclosed revenue recognition policy related to multiple-element arrangements and software was updated, and is presented below as revised.





Hypercom enters into multiple-element arrangements with its customers including hardware, software, professional consulting services and maintenance support services. For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, when deliverables include software and non-software products and services, the Company evaluates and separates each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and (b) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.





At the inception of an agreement, we allocate the arrangement consideration to each deliverable qualifying as a separate unit of accounting in an arrangement based on our relative selling prices for each of the deliverables. We determines the selling price using VSOE (“Vendor Specific Objective Evidence”), if it exists, and otherwise Third Party Evidence (“TPE”).  If neither VSOE nor TPE exists for a unit of accounting, we use the Estimated Selling Price (“ESP”). Revenue is recognized based on the relative sales price of the delivered elements, limited to the amount of consideration received at the time of delivery given the majority of our multiple element arrangements contain future deliverables for which future payment is contingent upon the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions both of which are within the customer's control.





VSOE is generally limited to the price charged when the same or similar product or service is sold separately or, if applicable, the stated substantive renewal rate in the agreement. We define VSOE as substantial standalone transactions that are priced within a narrow range. TPE is determined based on the prices charged by our competitors for a similar deliverable when sold separately to similarly situated customers. When we are unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, we use ESP when allocating the arrangement consideration. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which we would enter into a transaction with the customer if the products or services were to be sold by us on a standalone basis. We determine ESP for deliverables in future agreements based on the specific facts and circumstances of the arrangement. Selling prices are analyzed if a significant change in our business necessitates a more timely analysis or if we experience significant variances in our selling prices or cost to produce and deliver our products and services.

Table of Contents


For multiple element arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011, we have not applied the new guidance and in such arrangements, if we have the requisite evidence of selling price for the undelivered elements but not for the delivered elements, we applied the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration. For arrangements involving a lease, revenues under these arrangements continue to be allocated considering the relative selling price of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement, based upon the estimated selling price of each element.








Effect of Inflation





Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations for any period presented above.





Quarterly Trends and Fluctuations





We expect that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate in the first quarter of our fiscal year versus the remaining quarters, principally due to decreased demand for our products from North American retailers in such quarter.








Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.





At June 30, 2011, our cash equivalent investments are primarily in money market accounts and certificates of deposit and are reflected as cash equivalents because all maturities are within 90 days from date of purchase. Our interest rate risk with respect to existing investments is limited due to the short-term duration of these arrangements and the yields earned, which approximate current interest rates for similar investments. We have no short-term investments at June 30, 2011.





We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in connection with our foreign operations and markets. Nevertheless, the fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, principally due to the short-term nature of the major portion of our investment portfolio.





A substantial portion of our revenue and capital spending is transacted in either U.S. Dollars or Euros. However, we do at times enter into transactions in other currencies, such as the Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound and other Central and South American, Asian and European currencies. We are not currently engaged in hedging activities due to the cost of entering into forward contracts, the possible short term cash requirements for forward contract payables, along with the inability to repatriate cash from foreign countries on a short term basis to offset any hedge forward contract payable. At June 30, 2011, we had no foreign currency forward contracts.





All of our long-term debt obligations are at a fixed interest rate over the term of the agreement and there are no borrowings under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2011.





During the normal course of business, we are routinely subjected to a variety of market risks, examples of which include, but are not limited to, interest rate movements and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as discussed above, and collectability of accounts receivable. We continuously assess these risks and have established policies and procedures to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures. Although we do not anticipate any material losses in these risk areas, no assurance can be made that material losses will not be incurred in these areas in the future.








Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. They are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this

report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, having been effectively designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely as specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART II — OTHER INFORMATION








Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.





The description of our material pending legal proceedings is set forth in Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.











Item 1A.  Risk Factors.





We refer you to documents filed by us with the SEC, specifically “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which identify important risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. We also refer you to the factors and cautionary language set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-looking Statements” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes, should be read in conjunction with such risks and other factors for a full understanding our operations and financial condition. The risks described in our Form 10-K and herein are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have not materially changed.
