NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General and Basis of Presentation
General
Cardtronics, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates approximately
24,100 automated teller machines (ATMs) in all 50 states and approximately 1,300 ATMs located
throughout the United Kingdom. Additionally, the Company owns a majority interest in an entity
that operates approximately 300 ATMs located throughout Mexico. The Company provides ATM management
and equipment-related services (typically under multi-year contracts) to large, nationally known
retail merchants as well as smaller retailers and operators of facilities such as shopping malls
and airports. Additionally, the Company operates the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the
United States (based on number of participating ATMs) and works with financial institutions to
brand the Companys ATMs in order to provide their banking customers with convenient,
surcharge-free ATM access.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cardtronics, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We prepared this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the rules and regulations of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial information.
Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include
all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q along with Cardtronics Registration
Statement on Form S-4 dated August 25, 2006, which includes the Companys audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, and a summary of our
significant accounting policies and other disclosures.
The financial statements as of September 30, 2006, and for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, are unaudited. We derived the balance sheet as of December 31,
2005, from the audited balance sheet filed in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated August
25, 2006. In our opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys interim period results. The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the
full fiscal year. Additionally, our financial statements for prior periods include
reclassifications that were made to conform to the current period presentation. Those
reclassifications did not impact our reported net loss or stockholders deficit.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences could be material to the financial statements.
2. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Bank Machine (Acquisitions) Limited
On May 17, 2005, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bank Machine
(Acquisitions) Limited (Bank Machine), a privately held independent owner and operator of
approximately 1,000 ATMs in the United Kingdom. Such acquisition provided the Company with an
existing platform outside of the United States from which it can expand its operations in the
United Kingdom and potentially other European markets.
The purchase price totaled approximately $95.0 million and consisted of $92.0 million in cash
and the issuance of 35,221 shares of the Companys Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which was
valued by the Company at approximately $3.0 million. Additionally, the Company incurred
approximately $2.2 million in transaction costs associated with the acquisition. The total
purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.
Such allocation resulted in approximately $77.0 million in goodwill, which has been assigned to a
reporting unit that is currently comprised solely of the acquired Bank Machine operations.
The Company utilized May 1, 2005, as the effective date of the acquisition date for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Bank
Machines results of operations only for those periods subsequent to April 30, 2005.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations (in
thousands) of the Company and Bank Machine for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, after
giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments, including the effects of the issuance of the
Companys senior subordinated notes in August 2005 (see Note 8). Such pro forma results include
the effects of the senior subordinated notes financing as such notes were utilized in part to
finance the Bank Machine acquisition. Such unaudited pro forma financial results do not reflect
the impact of the smaller acquisitions consummated by the Company in 2005 and 2006. The unaudited
pro forma financial results assume that the acquisition and the debt issuance occurred on January
1, 2005, and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had
those transactions been consummated on such date. Furthermore, such pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of the future results to be expected for the consolidated operations.

Acquisition of ATM National, Inc.
On December 21, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of ATM National,
Inc., the owner and operator of Allpoint, a nationwide surcharge-free ATM network. The
consideration for such acquisition totaled $4.8 million and was comprised of $2.6 million in cash;
21,111 shares of the Companys common stock; and the assumption of approximately $0.4 million in
additional liabilities. Such consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values as of the
acquisition date. Such allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $3.7 million, which was
assigned to a separate reporting unit representing the acquired ATM National, Inc. operations.
Additionally, such allocation resulted in approximately
$3.2 million in identifiable intangible assets,
including $3.0 million for the acquired customer contracts and $0.2 million for the acquired
Allpoint trade name.
Acquisition of CCS Mexico
In February 2006, the Company acquired a majority ownership stake in CCS Mexico, an
independent ATM operator located in Mexico, for approximately $1.0 million in cash consideration
and the assumption of approximately $0.4 million in additional liabilities. Additionally, the
Company incurred approximately $0.3 million in transaction costs associated with this acquisition.
CCS Mexico, which was renamed Cardtronics Mexico upon the completion of the Companys investment,
currently operates approximately 300 surcharging ATMs in selected retail locations throughout
Mexico. With Mexico having recently approved surcharging for off-premise ATMs, the Company
anticipates placing additional surcharging ATMs in other retail establishments throughout Mexico as
those opportunities arise.
The Company has allocated the total purchase consideration to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Such
allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $0.7 million. Such goodwill, which is not
deductible for tax purposes, has been assigned to a separate reporting unit representing the
acquired CCS Mexico operations. Additionally, such allocation resulted in approximately $0.4
million in identifiable intangible assets, including $0.3 million for certain acquired customer
contracts and $0.1 million related to non-compete agreements entered into with the minority
interest shareholders of Cardtronics Mexico.
Because the Company owns a majority interest in Cardtronics Mexico, such entity is reflected
as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, with
the remaining ownership interest not held by the Company being reflected as a minority interest.
Other 2005 Acquisitions
On March 1, 2005, the Company acquired a portfolio of approximately 475 ATMs and related
contracts located in independent grocery stores in and around the New York metropolitan area for
approximately $8.2 million in cash. The purchase price was allocated $0.6 million to ATM equipment
and $7.6 million to the acquired merchant contracts/relationships.
On April 21, 2005, the Company acquired a portfolio of approximately 330 ATMs and related
contracts at BP Amoco locations throughout the Midwest for approximately $9.0 million in cash. The
purchase price was allocated $0.2 million to ATM equipment and $8.8 million to the acquired
merchant contracts/relationships.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R). Under SFAS No. 123R, the
Company records the grant date fair value of share-based compensation arrangements, net of
estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the underlying service
periods of the related awards. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company utilized the
intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
No. 25), which generally resulted in no compensation expense for employee stock options issued
with an exercise price greater than or equal to the fair value of the Companys common stock on the
date of grant. Furthermore, the Company historically utilized the minimum value method of
measuring equity share option values for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123.
Accordingly, the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, was done utilizing the
prospective application method. Under the prospective application method, the fair value approach
outlined under SFAS No. 123R is applied only to new awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005,
and to existing awards only in the event that such awards are modified, repurchased or cancelled
subsequent to the SFAS No. 123R adoption date. Accordingly, the Companys financial statements for
all periods prior to January 1, 2006, do not reflect any adjustments resulting from the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not result in the recording of a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
In June 2001, the Companys Board of Directors approved the Cardtronics Group, Inc. 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan). The 2001 Plan allows for the issuance of equity-based awards in
the form of non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights, as determined at the sole
discretion of the compensation committee of the Companys Board of Directors. As of September 30,
2006, only non-qualified stock options had been issued under the 2001 Plan. The persons eligible
to receive awards under the 2001 Plan include employees, directors, and consultants of the Company,
including its affiliates and subsidiaries. Under the 2001 Plan, no award may be granted more than
ten years after the plans initial approval date. As of September 30, 2006, the maximum number of
shares of common stock that could be issued under the 2001 Plan totaled 750,000 shares. The
Company currently has no other stock-based compensation plans in place.
Stock Option Grants
The Company has historically used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair
value of stock options granted for pro forma reporting purposes under SFAS No. 123. The Companys
outstanding stock options generally vest annually over a four-year period from the date of grant
and expire 10 years after the date of grant. There have been no stock option grants made under the
2001 Plan that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria.
A summary of the status of the Companys outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2006,
and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is presented below:

As of September 30, 2006, the remaining weighted average contractual life for options
outstanding and exercisable was 7.3 years and 6.2 years, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic
value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2006, was $15.8 million and $14.5
million, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, was approximately $394,000, which resulted in a tax benefit to the Company of
approximately $146,000. However, because the Company is currently in a net operating loss
position, such benefit has not been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements, as required by SFAS No. 123R. Furthermore, no cash was utilized by the Company in the
settlement of such awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
As indicated in the table above, the Company granted an additional 100,000 non-qualified stock
options to certain employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Such options were
granted with an exercise price of $83.84 per share, which was equal to the estimated fair market
value of the Companys common equity as of the date of grant, and vest ratably over a four-year
service period with a 10-year contractual term.
Fair Value Assumptions
The Company estimates the fair value of its options for financial accounting purposes by
utilizing the BlackScholes option pricing model. Such model requires the input of certain
subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the options, a risk-free interest rate, a
dividend rate, and the future volatility of the Companys common equity. Additional information
with respect to the fair value of the options issued during 2006 is as follows:

The expected option term of 6.25 years was determined based on the simplified method outlined
in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, as issued by the SEC. Such method is based on the
vesting period and the contractual term for each grant and is calculated by taking the average of
the expiration date and the vesting period for each vesting tranche. In the future, as information
regarding post vesting termination becomes more accessible, the Company may change this method of
deriving the expected term. Such a change could impact the fair value of options granted in the
future. Furthermore, the Company expects to refine the method of deriving the expected term by no
later than January 1, 2008, as required by SAB No. 107. The estimated forfeiture rates utilized by
the Company are based on the Companys historical option forfeiture rates and represent the
Companys best estimate of future forfeiture rates. In future periods, the Company will monitor
the level of actual forfeitures to determine if such estimate should be modified prospectively.
The Companys common stock is not publicly-traded; therefore, the weighted average expected
volatility factor was determined based on historical volatility rates obtained for certain
companies with publicly-traded equity that operate in the same or related businesses as that of the
Company. The volatility factor utilized represents the simple average of the historical daily
volatility rates obtained for each company within this designated peer group over multiple periods
of time, up to and including a period of time commensurate with the expected option term discussed
above. The Company utilized this peer group approach, as the historical transactions involving the
Companys private equity have been very limited and infrequent in nature. The Company believes
that the historical peer group volatility rate utilized above is a reasonable estimate of the
Companys expected future volatility.
The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid,
and does not anticipate paying, dividends with respect to its common equity. The risk-free
interest rate reflects the rate in effect as of the grant date for U.S. treasury securities with a
term similar to that of the expected option term referenced above.

As of September 30, 2006, there was $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Companys stock
option plan. That cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a remaining
weighted-average contractual period of approximately 3.4 years. The total fair value of shares
vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $555,000. Compensation expense
recognized related to stock options totaled approximately $200,000 and $457,000, respectively, for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30,
2005, the Company recognized approximately $1.8 million in stock option-based compensation expense
related to the repurchase of shares underlying certain employee stock options in connection with
the Companys series B preferred stock financing transaction.
Restricted Stock
Pursuant to a restricted stock agreement dated January 20, 2003, the Company sold the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company 80,000 shares of common stock in exchange for
a promissory note in the amount of $940,800 (Exchange Proceeds). Such shares vest ratably over a
four-year basis on each anniversary of the original grant date. The underlying restricted stock
agreement permits the Company to repurchase a portion of such shares prior to January 20, 2007, in
certain circumstances. The agreement also contained a provision allowing the shares to be put to
the Company in an amount sufficient to retire the entire unpaid principal balance of the promissory
note plus accrued interest. On February 4, 2004, the Company amended the restricted stock
agreement to remove such put right. As a result of this amendment, the Company determined that it
would need to recognize approximately $3.2 million in compensation expense on a graded-basis over
the four-year vesting period associated with these restricted shares. Additionally, in connection
with such amendment, the Company paid a $1.8 million bonus to its Chief Executive Officer as
reimbursement of the tax liability associated with such grant.
As of January 1, 2006, the number of non-vested shares for the aforementioned restricted stock
grant totaled 40,000, and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost to be recognized on a
graded-basis was approximately $227,000. Compensation expense associated with this restricted
stock grant totaled approximately $51,000 and $165,000, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006, and approximately $118,000 and $373,000, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005. No additional restricted shares were
granted or forfeited during these periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, an
additional 20,000 shares of the restricted stock grant vested. These vested shares had a total fair
value of approximately $805,000 (net of the Exchange Proceeds), approximately $741,000 of which had
been recognized as compensation expense in previous periods as a result of the graded-basis of
amortization utilized by the Company. No additional restricted shares vested during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $62,000 of unrecognized compensation cost
associated with the aforementioned restricted stock grant. The majority of this cost is expected
to be recognized as compensation expense during the remainder of 2006, as these shares will fully
vest in January 2007.
Other Stock-Based Compensation
In addition to the compensation expense reflected above for the stock options granted during
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include compensation expense amounts relating to the aforementioned restricted stock
grant as well as certain compensatory options that were granted in 2004. Because the Company
utilized the prospective method of adoption for SFAS No. 123R, all unvested awards as of January 1,
2006, will continue to be accounted for pursuant to APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations include approximately $4,000 and
$13,000, respectively, in compensation expense for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2006, and approximately $12,000 and $37,000 in compensation expense for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, associated with such compensatory option
grants.

4. Related Party Transactions
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 15,255 shares of the
Companys common stock held by certain of the Companys executive officers for approximately $1.3
million in proceeds. Such proceeds were primarily utilized by the executive officers to repay
certain loans, including all accrued and unpaid interest related thereto, made between such
executive officers and the Company in 2003. Such loans were required to be repaid pursuant to SEC
rules and regulations prohibiting registrants from having loans with executive officers. This was
effective as a result of the successful registration of the Companys senior subordinated notes
with the SEC in September 2006.
5. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) is displayed as a separate component of stockholders deficit in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consists of unrealized gains, net of related income
taxes, related to changes in the fair values of the Companys interest rate swap derivative
transactions and the cumulative amount of foreign currency translation adjustments associated with
the Companys foreign operations.
The following table presents the calculation of comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands),
which includes our (i) net loss, (ii) foreign currency translation adjustments, and (iii)
unrealized gains (losses) associated with the Companys interest rate hedging activities.

The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will
be reinvested in the foreign countries in which those subsidiaries operate for an indefinite period
of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for on the differences between the
Companys book basis and underlying tax basis in those subsidiaries or on the foreign currency
translation adjustment amounts reflected in the tables above.

The Companys intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over the assets
estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three
to twelve years for customer contracts and relationships and four to eight years for exclusive
license agreements. The Company has also assumed an estimated life of four years for its
non-compete agreements. Deferred financing costs are amortized through interest expense over the
contractual term of the underlying borrowings utilizing the effective interest method. The Company
periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into
consideration any events or circumstances that might result in a reduction in fair value or a
revision of those estimated useful lives.
Amortization of customer contracts and relationships, exclusive license agreements, and
non-compete agreements totaled $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the three month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $9.6 million and $5.7 million for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in the 2006 year-to-date figure
was approximately $2.8 million in additional amortization expense related to the impairment of the
intangible asset associated with the acquired BAS Communications, Inc. ATM portfolio. Such
impairment relates to a reduction in anticipated future cash flows resulting from a higher than
anticipated attrition rate associated with this acquired portfolio.
Amortization of deferred financing costs and bond discount totaled $0.4 million and $0.7
million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1.1
million and $1.6 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Additionally, the Company wrote-off approximately $0.5 million in deferred financing
costs in February 2006 in connection with certain modifications made to the Companys existing
revolving credit facilities. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, the
Company wrote-off approximately $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of deferred financing
costs as a result of amendments to its bank credit facility in May 2005 and the repayment of its
term loans in August 2005.
Estimated amortization expense for the Companys intangible assets with definite lives for the
remaining three months of 2006, each of the next five years, and thereafter is as follows (in

Revolving Credit Facility
On May 17, 2005, in connection with the acquisition of Bank Machine, the Company replaced its
existing bank credit facility with new facilities provided by BNP Paribas and Bank of America, N.A.
Such facilities were comprised of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $100.0 million, (ii) a
first lien term facility of up to $125.0 million, and (iii) and a second lien term facility of up
to $75.0 million. Borrowings under the facilities were utilized to repay the Companys existing
bank credit facility and to fund the acquisition of Bank Machine. In connection with the issuance
of the Companys senior subordinated notes in August 2005 (as discussed below), the first and
second lien term loan facilities were repaid in full, and the revolving credit facility was
increased to a maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million. As of September 30, 2006, $54.1
million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit
facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25%. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee of
0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
In February 2006, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to remove or modify
certain restrictive covenants contained within the facility and to reduce the maximum borrowing
capacity from $150.0 million to $125.0 million. As a result of this amendment, the Company
recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.5 million associated with the write-off of previously
deferred financing costs related to the facility. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately
$0.1 million in fees associated with such amendment. Although the maximum borrowing capacity was
reduced, the overall effect of the amendment was to increase the Companys liquidity and financial
flexibility through the removal and modification of certain restrictive covenants, as contained in
the facility. Such covenants, which were originally structured to accommodate an acquisitive
growth strategy, have either been eliminated or modified to reflect a greater focus on the
Companys organic growth initiatives. The primary restrictive covenants within the facility now
include (i) limitations on the amount of senior debt that the Company can have outstanding at any
given point in time; (ii) the maintenance of a set ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as computed
on a rolling 12-month basis; (iii) limitations on the amounts of restricted payments that can be
made in any given year, including dividends; and (iv) limitations on the amount of capital
expenditures that the Company can incur on a rolling 12-month basis. As of September 30, 2006, the
Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On August 12, 2005, the Company sold $200.0 million in senior subordinated notes (the Notes)
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes, which are subordinate to
borrowings made under the revolving credit facility, mature in August 2013 and carry a 9.25% coupon
with an effective yield of 9.375%. Interest under the Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on
February 15th and August 15th of each year. Net proceeds from the offering,
after taking into consideration direct offering costs,
11
totaled approximately $192.0 million. Such proceeds, along with cash on hand and borrowings
under the Companys revolving credit facility, were utilized to repay all of the outstanding
borrowings, including accrued but unpaid interest, under the Companys first and second lien term
loan facilities. The Notes, which are guaranteed by the Companys domestic subsidiaries, contain
certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Companys ability to incur additional
indebtedness and make certain types of restricted payments, including dividends.
In addition, a provision of the Notes required the Company to either (i) register the Notes
with the SEC on or before June 8, 2006 and successfully complete an exchange offer with respect to
such Notes within 30 days following such registration or (ii) be subject to higher interest rates
on the Notes in subsequent periods. As a result of the Companys inability to complete the
registration of the Notes by the aforementioned deadline, the annual interest rate on the Notes
increased from 9.25% to 9.50% on June 8th and further increased to 9.75% on September
7th, as required by the underlying indenture. However, on September 18, 2006, the Notes
were successfully registered with the SEC, and on October 18, 2006, the Company successfully
completed its exchange offer. Accordingly, on October 19, 2006, the interest rate associated with
the Notes reverted back to the 9.25% stated rate. The Company is currently in compliance with all
applicable covenants required under the Notes.

10. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143, Asset
Retirement Obligations. Asset retirement obligations consist primarily of deinstallation costs of
the ATM and the costs to restore the ATM site to its original condition. The Company is legally
required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, for
each group of ATMs, the Company recognized the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation and capitalized that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset. The related
assets are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
underlying ATMs, and the related liabilities are being accreted to their full value over the same
period of time.
The following table is a summary of the changes in Companys asset retirement obligation
liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (in thousands):

11. Preferred Stock
On February 10, 2005, the Company issued 894,568 shares of its Series B preferred stock for
$75.0 million in proceeds to TA Associates. The net proceeds from the offering were utilized to
redeem the Companys outstanding Series A preferred stock as well as a portion of the Companys
outstanding common stock and vested options. On May 17, 2005, the Company issued an additional
35,221 shares of its Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the Bank Machine
acquisition. Such shares were valued at approximately $3.0 million, consistent with the value per
share received in connection with the February 10, 2005 issuance.
The Series B preferred shareholders have certain preferences to the Companys common
shareholders, including board representation rights and the right to receive their original issue
price prior to any distributions being made to the common shareholders as part of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the
liquidation value of the Series B preferred shared totaled $78.0 million. The Series B preferred
shares are convertible into the
12
same number of shares of the Companys common stock, as adjusted for future stock splits and
the issuance of dilutive securities. The Series B preferred shares have no stated dividends and are
redeemable at the option of a majority of the Series B holders at any time on or after the earlier
of (i) December 2013 and (ii) the date that is 123 days after the first day that none of the
Companys 9.25% senior subordinated notes remain outstanding, but in no event earlier than February
2012.
The carrying value of the Companys Series B preferred stock was $76.5 million as of September
30, 2006, and has been reflected net of unaccreted issuance costs of approximately $1.5 million.
Such issuance costs are being accreted on a straight-line basis through February 2012, which
represents the earliest optional redemption date outlined above.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had no material purchase commitments. However, the
Company does expect to make capital expenditures to upgrade its ATMs to be both Encrypting PIN Pad
and Triple DES compliant over the next two years. The Company currently expects to spend
approximately $11.8 million, the majority of which will be spent in 2007, to accomplish the
upgrades on all of its company-owned ATMs by the end of next year.
In addition to the above, the Company may be required to make additional capital expenditures
in future periods to comply with anticipated new regulations resulting from the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) or the outcome of the lawsuit involving the National Federation of the
Blind (NFB) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (described below).
National Federation of the Blind. In connection with its acquisition of the E*TRADE Access,
Inc. (ETA) ATM portfolio, the Company assumed ETAs interests and liability for a lawsuit
instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the Court) by
the NFB, the NFBs Massachusetts chapter, and several individual blind persons (collectively, the
Private Plaintiffs) as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to claims relating
to the alleged inaccessibility of ATMs for those persons who are
visually-impaired. After the
acquisition of the ETA ATM portfolio, the Private Plaintiffs named Cardtronics as a co-defendant
with ETA and ETAs parent, E*Trade Bank, and the scope of the lawsuit has expanded to include both
ETAs ATMs as well as the Companys pre-existing ATM portfolio.
In this lawsuit, the Private Plaintiffs have sought to require ETA and Cardtronics to make all
of the ATMs voice-enabled, or capable of providing audible instructions to a visually-impaired
person upon that person inserting a headset plug into an outlet at the ATM. The Court has ruled
twice (in February 2005 and February 2006) that the NFB is not entitled to a voice-enabled
remedy. Nonetheless, in response to an order to describe the relief they seek, the Private
Plaintiffs have subsequently stated that they demand either (i) voice-guidance technology on each
ATM; (ii) Braille instructions on each ATM that allow individuals who are blind to understand
every screen (which, we assume, may imply a dynamic Braille pad); or (iii) a telephone on each ATM
so the user could speak with a remote operator who can either see the screen on the ATM or can
enter information for the user.
Cardtronics has asserted numerous defenses to the lawsuit. One defense is that, for ATMs
owned by third parties, the Company arguably does not have the right to make changes to the ATMs
without the consent of the third parties. Another defense is that the ADA arguably does not
require the Company to make changes to ATMs if the changes are not feasible or achievable, or if
the costs outweigh the benefits. The costs of retrofitting or replacing existing ATMs with voice
technology, dynamic Braille keypads, or telephones and interactive data lines would be significant.
Additionally, in situations in which the ATMs are owned by third parties and Cardtronics provides
processing services, the costs are extremely disproportionate to the Companys interests in the
ATMs.
Cardtronics has also challenged the Private Plaintiffs standing to file this lawsuit. In
response to the Companys challenge, the Private Plaintiffs have requested the Courts permission
to (i) amend their complaint to name additional individual plaintiffs and (ii) certify the lawsuit
as a class action under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Briefing on these motions is not
complete as of the filing of this report. Cardtronics expects to object to the Private Plaintiffs
motion, on the grounds that the plaintiffs who initially filed the lawsuit lacked standing and this
deficiency arguably cannot be cured by amending the complaint. A hearing on the standing issue has
not yet been set but is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2007.
Accessibility Guidelines under the ADA. Recently proposed Accessibility Guidelines under the
ADA would require voice-enabling technology for newly installed ATMs and for ATMs that are
otherwise retrofitted or substantially modified. The Company currently estimates that it would
cost approximately $1.5 million in capital expenditures to make all of its company-owned ATMs
voice-enabled. Although these new rules have not yet been adopted by the Department of Justice,
the Company plans to incur most of these costs in 2007 as part of its Triple DES security upgrade
efforts.
13
Other Matters. In June 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of the Companys
merchant customers, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York (the Federal Action). The complaint, which
was formally served to the Company in September 2006, alleged that Cardtronics had breached an ATM
operating agreement between the parties by failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of
fees under the agreement. On October 6, 2006, Cardtronics filed a petition in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that Cardtronics had not
breached the ATM operating agreement. On October 10, 2006, the Customer filed a second complaint,
this time in New York State Supreme Court, alleging the same claims it had alleged in the Federal
Action. Subsequently, the Customer dismissed the Federal Action because the federal court did not
have subject matter jurisdiction. The Customer is claiming that it is owed no less than $600,000
in lost revenues, exclusive of interests and costs, and projects that additional damages will
accrue to them at a rate of approximately $100,000 per month, exclusive of interest and costs. It
is the Companys position that the Customers claims in the New York lawsuit are without merit and
the Company will move to dismiss those claims at the appropriate time. The Company also believes
that it will ultimately prevail upon the merits in this matter, although it gives no assurance as
to the final outcome. Furthermore, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this
dispute will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition or results of
operations.
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary
course of its business. The Companys management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal
proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations.
13. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a result of its variable-rate debt and ATM cash management activities, the Company is
exposed to changes in interest rates (LIBOR and TIIE). It is the Companys policy to limit the
variability of a portion of its expected future interest payments as a result of changes in LIBOR
by utilizing certain types of derivative financial instruments.
To meet the above objective, the Company entered into several LIBOR-based interest rate swaps
during 2004 and 2005 to fix the interest rate paid on $300.0 million of the Companys current and
anticipated outstanding ATM cash balances in the United States. The effect of such swaps was to fix
the interest rate paid on the following notional amounts for the periods identified (in thousands):

Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to the Companys
Cost of ATM operating revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, there were
no gains or losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a result of
ineffectiveness associated with the Companys interest rate swaps.
The Companys interest rate swaps have been classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Accordingly,
changes in the fair values of the Companys interest rate swaps have been reported in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of
September 30, 2006, the unrealized gain on such swaps totaled approximately $4.7 million, net of
tax.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has not entered into any derivative financial
instruments to hedge its variable interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico.

14. Segment Information
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and as a result of the Companys acquisition
of a majority interest in Cardtronics Mexico in February 2006, the Company renamed its domestic and
international reportable segments to the United States and United Kingdom segments, respectively,
and added a third segment, Mexico. All intercompany transactions between the Companys reportable

Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating what
impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial
statements.
Evaluation of Prior Period Misstatements in Current Financial Statements. In September 2006,
the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108
provides guidance on how to evaluate the impact of financial statement misstatements from prior
periods that have been identified in the current year. The provisions of SAB No. 108 are effective
for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect this statement

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical
statements are considered to be forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are identified by the use of the
words believe, expect, anticipate, will, contemplate, would and similar expressions
that contemplate future events. Numerous important factors, risks, and uncertainties may affect
our operating results, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to the
Companys reliance on third parties for cash management services; increased regulation and
regulatory uncertainty; trends in ATM usage; decreases in the number of ATMs that can be placed
with the Companys top merchants; increased industry competition; the Companys ability to continue
to execute its growth strategies; risks associated with the acquisition of other ATM networks;
changes in interest rates; declines in, or system failures that interrupt or delay, ATM
transactions; changes in the ATM transaction fees the Company receives; changes in ATM technology;
changes in foreign currency rates; and general and economic conditions. Accordingly, our actual
results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such
forward-looking statements.
Overview
Cardtronics operates a network of over 25,000 ATMs operating in all 50 states and within the
United Kingdom and Mexico. Our extensive ATM network is strengthened by multi-year contractual
relationships with a wide variety of nationally and internationally known merchants pursuant to
which we operate ATMs in their locations.
We deploy ATMs under two distinct arrangements with our merchant partners:
|
|
|
Company-owned. Under a company-owned arrangement, we own or lease the ATM and are
responsible for controlling substantially all aspects of its operation. These
responsibilities include what we refer to as first line maintenance, such as replacing
paper, clearing paper or bill jams, resetting the ATM and any telecommunications and power
issues or other maintenance activities that do not require a trained service technician. We
are also responsible for what we refer to as second line maintenance, which are more complex
maintenance procedures that require trained service technicians and often involve replacing
component parts. In addition to first and second line maintenance, we are responsible for
arranging for cash, cash loading, supplies, telecommunications service and all other
services required for the operation of the ATM, other than electricity. We typically pay a
fee, either periodically, on a per-transaction basis or a combination of both, to the
merchant on whose premises the ATM is physically located. We operate a limited number of our
company-owned ATMs on a merchant-assisted basis. In these arrangements, we own or lease the
ATM and provide all transaction processing services, but the merchant generally is
responsible for providing and loading cash for the ATM and first line maintenance.
Typically, we deploy ATMs under company-owned arrangements for our national and regional
merchant customers, such as Amerada Hess, BP Amoco, Chevron, Costco, CVS Pharmacy, Duane
Reade, ExxonMobil, Mills Malls, Sunoco, Target, and Walgreens in the United States, and
Alfred Jones, Co-Op, Mitchells & Butlers, the U.K. Post Office, Tates, Tesco, and TM Retail
in the United Kingdom. Because company-owned locations are controlled by us, are usually
located in major national chains, and are thus more likely candidates for additional sources
of revenue such as bank branding, company-owned locations generally offer higher transaction
volumes and greater profitability, which we consider necessary to justify the upfront
capital cost of installing such machines. As of September 30, 2006, we operated
approximately 12,700 ATMs under company-owned arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
Merchant-owned. Under a merchant-owned arrangement, the merchant owns the ATM and is
responsible for its maintenance and most of the operating costs. We typically provide all
transaction processing services, 24x7 help desk and technical support, uptime monitoring
and, in some cases, retain responsibility for providing and loading cash. We typically
operate ATMs with our independent merchant customers under merchant-owned arrangements. A
merchant who purchases an ATM from us is typically responsible for providing cash for the
ATM and all maintenance. The merchant is also responsible for cash loading, supplies,
telecommunication and electrical services. Under these arrangements, we generally retain
responsibility for second line maintenance for an additional fee, and we provide all
transaction processing services. Because the merchant bears more of the costs associated
with operating ATMs under this arrangement, the merchant typically receives a higher fee on
a per-transaction basis than is the case under a company-owned arrangement. In a limited
number of our merchant-owned arrangements, we have assumed responsibility for providing and
loading cash. Accordingly, under these arrangements, the merchant receives a smaller fee on
a per-transaction basis than in the typical merchant-owned arrangement. As of September 30,
2006, we operated approximately 13,000 ATMs under merchant-owned arrangements. |
In the future, we expect the percentage of our company-owned and merchant-owned arrangements
to continue to fluctuate in response to the mix of ATMs we add through organic growth and
acquisitions. While we may continue to add merchant-owned ATMs to our network as a result of
acquisitions and internal sales efforts, our focus for organic growth will remain on expanding the
number of company-owned ATMs in our network.
20
In-house processing. In addition to the above, we have recently undertaken an initiative that
will allow us to ultimately control the processing of transactions conducted on our network of
ATMs. We believe that such move will provide us with the ability to control the content of the
information appearing on the screens of our ATMs, which should in turn serve to increase the types
of products and services that we will be able to offer to financial institutions. For example,
with the ability to control screen flow, we expect to be able to offer customized branding
solutions to financial institutions, including one-to-one marketing and advertising services at the
point of transaction. Additionally, we expect that this move will provide us with future
operational cost savings in terms of lower overall processing costs. As discussed above, our
in-house processing efforts are focused on controlling the flow and content of information on the
ATM screen; however, we will continue to rely on third party service providers to handle the
back-end connections to the electronic funds transfer networks and various fund settlement and
reconcilement processes.
Industry Trends
During the first half of 2005, our total domestic transaction revenues (including surcharge,
interchange and branding fees) declined by approximately 2.5% (versus prior year levels) for those
ATMs that were transacting throughout the same periods in both years. We attributed such decline
to a number of factors, including (i) the increased use of debit cards as a means of payment in
certain types of retail establishments, (ii) an increase in free cash back point-of-sale
transactions, and (iii) increased competition associated with the increased number of off-premise,
surcharging ATMs within the United States. However, during the second half of 2005, our total
domestic transaction revenues for ATMs that were transacting throughout the same periods in both
years increased slightly when compared to the prior year. Furthermore, the positive trend seen
during the second half of 2005 has carried over into 2006, with comparable transaction revenues
increasing by approximately 1.7% year-over-year. We attribute this recent positive trend to
increased revenues associated with our bank and network branding initiatives as well as increased
surcharge rates in selected merchant retail locations.
As discussed above, we believe that the decline in our transaction revenues experienced during
the first half of 2005 was due to a number of factors, including the increased use of debit cards
as a means of payment. The increased use of debit cards appears to reflect a general payment trend
within the United States, with the growth in debit card transactions over the past three years
outpacing the growth in all other forms of payment, including checks, cash, and credit cards. At
this point, it is unclear if this trend will continue and, if so, whether it will have a continuing
impact on our operations, as outlined above.
Recent Events
Acquisitions. In December 2005, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of ATM National,
Inc., the owner and operator of the Allpoint nationwide surcharge-free ATM network. The
consideration for such acquisition totaled $4.8 million and was comprised of $2.6 million in cash;
21,111 shares of our common stock; and the assumption of approximately $0.4 million in additional
liabilities.
In February 2006, we acquired a majority ownership stake in CCS Mexico, an independent ATM
operator located in Mexico, for approximately $1.0 million in cash consideration and the assumption
of approximately $0.4 million in additional liabilities. Additionally, we incurred approximately
$0.3 million in transaction costs associated with this acquisition. CCS Mexico, which was renamed
Cardtronics Mexico upon the completion of our investment, currently operates approximately 300
surcharging ATMs in selected retail locations throughout Mexico. With Mexico having recently
approved surcharging for off-premise ATMs, we anticipate placing additional surcharging ATMs in
other retail establishments throughout Mexico as those opportunities arise.
Financing Transactions. In February 2006, we amended our existing revolving credit facility to
remove and modify certain restrictive covenants contained within the facility and to reduce the
maximum borrowing capacity from $150.0 million to $125.0 million. Although the maximum borrowing
capacity was reduced, the overall effect of the amendment was to increase our liquidity and
financial flexibility through the removal and modification of certain restrictive covenants, as
contained in the previous revolving credit facility. Such covenants, which were originally
structured to accommodate an acquisitive growth strategy, have either been eliminated or modified
to reflect a greater focus on our organic growth initiatives. As a result of this amendment, we had
$47.6 million in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2006.
Additionally, in connection with this amendment, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.5
million associated with the write-off of previously deferred financing costs related to the
facility.
21
Winn-Dixie Bankruptcy. In February 2005, Winn-Dixie, one of our merchant customers,
filed for bankruptcy protection. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Winn-Dixie accounted for
approximately 2.0% of our total ATM operating revenues and 1.2% of our total ATM operating gross
profits. As part of its bankruptcy restructuring efforts, Winn-Dixie has closed or sold
approximately 400 of its stores since early 2005, 378 of which included our ATMs. Accordingly, we
have deinstalled the ATMs that were operating in those locations, leaving us with approximately 500
remaining ATM operating locations in Winn-Dixie stores as of September 30, 2006. At this point, we
do not believe that the deinstallation of the aforementioned ATMs will have a material impact on
our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
Pursuant to the ATM management agreement that we assumed in connection with acquisition of the
Winn-Dixie ATM portfolio in 2003, Winn-Dixie was required to provide us with a rebate for most ATMs
that were removed due to its store closures. Additionally, as part of our acquisition agreement
with the former owner of the Winn-Dixie ATM portfolio, we were designated as the beneficiary of a
letter of credit under which we could make draws in the event Winn-Dixie refused to pay such
rebates. As of the date of this filing, we have fully drawn $3.6 million under such letter of
credit, and have utilized a portion of the proceeds to help defray a portion of the ongoing lease
costs associated with approximately 290 of the ATMs that have been deinstalled, as noted above.
Additionally, such proceeds have been utilized to cover the costs associated with removing the
aforementioned ATMs from the closed store locations.
In September 2006, we entered into an amended ATM operating agreement with Winn-Dixie that,
among other things, outlined the terms and conditions under which we would continue to operate the
500 ATMs located in the Winn-Dixie store locations that have remained in operation. Although the
amended ATM operating agreement had been signed by both parties, such agreement did not become
effective until it and Winn-Dixies plan of reorganization were approved by the bankruptcy court.
On November 9, 2006, the bankruptcy court approved the amended ATM operating agreement and
confirmed the plan of reorganization. The order approving the plan, absent any appeals, becomes
final on November 19, 2006. We expect that the amended contract will allow for us to continue
operating the aforementioned ATMs under terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the
terms and conditions of our previous ATM operating agreement with Winn-Dixie. Accordingly, we
would not expect to see a decline in our gross profits associated with the Winn-Dixie relationship
and do not believe that we would be required to record an impairment charge related to the existing
tangible and intangible assets associated with such agreement, which amounts totaled approximately
$3.0 million as of September 30, 2006. However, if an appeal is filed and if the ATM operating
agreement is amended to reflect less favorable economic terms and conditions, our future revenues
and gross profits may decline and we may be required to record an impairment charge related to the
tangible and intangible assets associated with the current Winn-Dixie agreement.
In addition to the above, the terms and conditions of the amended ATM operating agreement
provide for Winn-Dixie to pay certain consideration in satisfaction of the rebate amounts owed to
us pursuant to the existing ATM operating agreement. Such consideration is to be comprised of a
$1.0 million cash payment and post-bankruptcy equity securities issued by Winn-Dixie, the value of
which will be determined by the market price of the related securities upon the date of
distribution. At this point, we are still ascertaining how these and other amounts related to the
existing Winn-Dixie contract, including the remaining unrecognized letter-of-credit proceeds and
certain operating accruals related to such agreement, will be reflected in our consolidated
financial statements.
In a related matter, on October 31, 2006, we entered into an agreement to purchase
approximately 787 ATMs that are currently (or formerly) located in Winn-Dixie store locations
operated by us under a lease with Fleetwood Financial. The purchase price, which totaled
approximately $1.6 million, absolves us of any remaining obligations under the aforementioned lease
agreement and will provide us with additional flexibility with respect to the timing of our Triple
DES compliance upgrades for such ATMs. Reference is made to the Liquidity and Capital Resources
section below for more information on our Triple DES compliance efforts.
Customer Contract Cancellations. In March and April 2006, we received notice from two of our
customers that such customers would not be renewing their contracts with us. On a combined basis,
these customer contracts, one of which expired in August 2006 and the other which is scheduled to
expire in April 2007, accounted for approximately 3.1% of our total revenues and 4.3% of our total
gross profits for the year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, we received a $1.1 million early
termination payment from one of the customers in May 2006 related to a portion of the installed ATM
base that was deinstalled prior to the scheduled contract termination date. Such amount has been
reflected as other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. We
do not believe that the cancellation of these contracts will have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
22
Merchant-owned Account Attrition. In general, we have experienced nominal turnover among our
customers with whom we typically enter into company-owned arrangements and have been very
successful in negotiating contract renewals with such customers. Conversely, we have experienced a
higher turnover rate among our smaller merchant-owned customers. Specifically, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006, the net attrition in our domestic merchant-owned account base totaled
5.6%. Much of this attrition is due to an internal initiative launched by us earlier in the year
to aggressively identify, restructure or eliminate certain underperforming merchant-owned accounts;
however, an additional driver of this attrition is local and regional independent ATM service
organizations that are targeting our smaller merchant-owned accounts upon the termination of the
merchants contracts with us, or upon a change in the merchants ownership, which can be a common
occurrence. Accordingly, we have recently launched another internal initiative to identify and
retain those merchant-owned accounts where we believe it makes economic sense to do so. At this
point, we cannot accurately predict what the results will be of these recently initiated retention
efforts or whether such efforts will be successful in reducing the aforementioned attrition rate.
Furthermore, because of our efforts to eliminate certain underperforming accounts, we may continue
to experience the aforementioned downward trend in our merchant-owned account base for the
foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. On an on-going basis, we make and evaluate such estimates and judgments, including, but
not limited to, those related to the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of
long-lived assets, the accounting for and reporting of income taxes, and the accounting for and
reporting of stock-based compensation programs. 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 amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the
carrying values of assets and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if
the underlying conditions or assumptions change. The significant accounting policies and estimates
described here are those that are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and
results of operations and the application of which requires managements most subjective judgments
in making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Goodwill and intangible assets. We have accounted for the E*TRADE Access, Bank Machine, and
ATM National, Inc. acquisitions as business combinations pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations. Additionally, we have applied the concepts of SFAS No. 141 to our purchase of a
majority interest in CCS Mexico. Accordingly, the amounts paid for such acquisitions have been
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as
of each acquisition date. As part of the purchase price allocation process for such acquisitions,
we engaged outside appraisal firms to help determine the fair values of the tangible and intangible
assets acquired, excluding goodwill. Intangible assets that met the criteria established by SFAS
No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill included the acquired ATM operating agreements and
related customer relationships, the Bank Machine and Allpoint (via the ATM National, Inc.
acquisition) trade names, and the non-compete agreements associated with the CCS Mexico
acquisition. The outside appraisal firms utilized commonly accepted valuation methodologies to
determine the fair values of the aforementioned intangible assets, including the discounted cash
flow approach for the acquired customer related intangible assets and the relief from royalty
approach for the acquired trade names.
The excess of the cost of the aforementioned acquisitions over the net of the amounts assigned
to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been reflected as
goodwill in our consolidated financial statements. The purchase price allocation for the CCS Mexico
acquisition is still considered to be preliminary pending the completion of our valuation efforts.
As of September 30, 2006, our goodwill balance totaled $167.8 million, $85.1 million of which
related to our acquisition of E*TRADE Access and $78.1 million of which related to our acquisition
of Bank Machine. The remaining balance is comprised of goodwill related to our acquisition of ATM
National Inc. and our purchase of a majority interest in CCS Mexico. Intangible assets, net,
totaled $68.2 million as of September 30, 2006, and included the intangible assets described above,
as well as deferred financing costs and exclusive license agreements.
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, provides that goodwill and other
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized, but instead must be
tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives should
be amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also provides specific guidance for
testing goodwill and other non-amortized intangible assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions in order to allocate goodwill to reporting
units and to determine the fair value of a reporting units net assets and liabilities, including,
among other things, an assessment of market condition, projected cash flows, interest rates and
growth rates, which could significantly impact the reported value of goodwill and other intangible
assets. Furthermore, SFAS No. 142 exposes us to the possibility that changes in market conditions
could result in potentially significant impairment charges in the future.
23
We evaluate the recoverability of our goodwill and non-amortized intangible assets by
estimating the future discounted cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill and
non-amortized intangible assets relate. We use discount rates corresponding to our cost of capital,
risk adjusted as appropriate, to determine such discounted cash flows, and consider current and
anticipated business trends, prospects and other market and economic conditions when performing our
evaluations. Such evaluations are performed at minimum on an annual basis, or more frequently based
on the occurrence of events that might indicate a potential impairment. Such events include, but
are not limited to, items such as the loss of a significant contract or a material change in the
terms or conditions of a significant contract.
Valuation of long-lived assets. We place significant value on the installed ATMs that we own
and manage in merchant locations and the related acquired merchant contracts/relationships. In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased contract intangibles subject to
amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We test our acquired merchant
contract/relationship intangible assets for impairment, along with the related ATMs, on an
individual contract/relationship basis for our significant acquired contracts/relationships, and on
a pooled or portfolio basis (by acquisition) for all other acquired contracts/relationships. In
determining whether a particular merchant contract/relationship is significant enough to warrant a
separate identifiable intangible asset, we analyze a number of relevant factors, including (i)
estimates of the historical cash flows generated by such contract/relationship prior to its
acquisition, (ii) estimates regarding our ability to increase the contract/relationships cash
flows subsequent to the acquisition through a combination of lower operating costs, the deployment
of additional ATMs, and the generation of incremental revenues from increased surcharges and/or new
branding arrangements, and (iii) estimates regarding our ability to renew such
contract/relationship beyond its originally scheduled termination date. An individual
contract/relationship, and the related ATMs, could be impaired if the contract or relationship is
terminated sooner than originally anticipated, or if there is a decline in the number of
transactions related to such contract/relationship without a corresponding increase in the amount
of revenue collected per transaction. A portfolio of purchased contract intangibles, including the
related ATMs, could be impaired if the contract attrition rate is materially more than the rate
used to estimate the portfolios initial value, or if there is a decline in the number of
transactions associated with such portfolio without a corresponding increase in the revenue
collected per transaction. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a merchant
contract/relationship intangible asset may be impaired, we evaluate the recoverability of the
intangible asset, and the related ATMs, by measuring the related carrying amounts against the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related contract or portfolio of
contracts. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying values of
the tangible and intangible assets being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The
impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying values of the ATMs and
intangible assets exceeded the calculated fair value. We recorded approximately $2.8 million and
$1.2 million in additional amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, related to the impairment of certain previously
acquired merchant contract/relationship intangible assets associated with our domestic reporting
segment.
Income taxes. Income tax provisions are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current
year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and income
before income taxes and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in our financial statements. We include deferred tax assets and liabilities in our financial
statements at currently enacted income tax rates. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, we
adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities through income tax provisions. In assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, we believe it is more
likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. If we do not
generate future taxable income, we will not realize these tax assets and the write-off of those
assets will adversely affect our results.
Stock-based compensation. In addition to the above critical accounting policies that were in
place for the year ended December 31, 2005, we are also now required to make certain estimates and
judgments with respect to our share-based compensation programs as a result of our adoption of SFAS
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006. Such standard requires that we record
compensation expense for all share-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.
In determining the fair value of our share-based awards, we are required to make certain
assumptions and estimates, including (i) the number of awards that may ultimately be forfeited by
the recipients, (ii) the expected term of the underlying awards, and (iii) the future volatility
associated with the price of our common equity. Such estimates, and the basis for our conclusions
regarding such estimates, are outlined in detail in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere herein.

Transaction gross profit is a measure of profitability that uses only the
revenue and expenses that are transaction based. The revenue and expenses from ATM
equipment sales and other ATM-related services are not included. |
|
(2) |
|
The increase in transaction gross profit margins in 2006 when compared to
2005 is due to the increases in revenues associated with the Companys bank and
network branding initiatives, increased surcharge rates in selected merchant retail
locations, and higher gross profit margins associated with our United Kingdom
portfolio of ATMs (which was acquired in May 2005). |

ATM Operating Revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the increase in ATM
operating revenues was primarily attributable to our United Kingdom operations. Specifically, as a
result of additional ATM deployments and higher withdrawal transactions per ATM, surcharge and
interchange revenues from our United Kingdom operations increased nearly $3.5 million, or 42.3%,
from prior year levels. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in our domestic ATM
operating revenues, as higher bank and network branding revenues were slightly more than offset by
declines in surcharge and interchange revenues resulting from a decrease in the number of
merchant-owned ATMs under contract.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increase in ATM operating revenues was also
driven by higher surcharge and interchange revenues from our United Kingdom operations, which
increased nearly $15.6 million, or 114.1% from prior year levels. As noted above, such increase
was due to the deployment of additional ATMs during the past year and higher per ATM withdrawal
transactions. Additionally, the 2005 year-to-date results only reflect five months worth of
revenues from our United Kingdom operations as the acquisition of Bank Machine occurred in May of
that year. Also contributing to the year-to-date increase were higher ATM operating revenues from
our domestic operations, which increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to
higher bank and network branding revenues.
ATM Product Sales and Other Revenues. ATM product sales and other revenues for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, increased approximately 63.2% and 23.6% when compared
to the same periods in 2005. Such increases were primarily due to higher service call income
resulting from Triple DES security upgrades performed in the United States, higher year-over-year
equipment and value-added reseller (VAR) program sales, and higher non-transaction based fees
associated with our domestic network branding program.

Cost of ATM Operating Revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the slight
increase in cost of ATM operating revenues was driven by our United Kingdom operations, which
experienced a $2.4 million, or 45.9%, increase in such costs from prior year levels. This
increase, which was due to higher merchant payments and increased ATM cash costs, was a result of
the aforementioned increased number of ATM merchant locations in the United Kingdom. In the United
States, the cost of ATM operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006, declined
by $1.9 million, or 3.8% when compared to the same period in 2005. Such decline was primarily due
to lower merchant fees resulting from the aforementioned year-over-year decline in domestic
surcharge revenues. Additionally, ATM cash costs declined due to a concerted effort on our part to
lower the average amount of cash outstanding in our ATMs relative to past periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the increase in cost of ATM operating revenues
was primarily driven by our United Kingdom operations, which experienced a $10.8 million, or
125.1%, increase in such costs from prior year levels. This increase was primarily due to the fact
that the year-to-date 2005 results reflect only five months worth of operating results from the
acquired Bank Machine operations, as previously noted. In the United States, ATM operating costs
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, declined by approximately $2.5 million, or 1.8%, when
compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of lower merchant fees and maintenance costs,
which were partially offset by higher ATM cash and communications costs.
26
Cost of ATM Product Sales and Other Revenues. The cost of ATM product sales and other revenues
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, increased by approximately 42.9% and
16.7%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2005. Such increases were primarily due
to higher service call expenses resulting from Triple DES security upgrades performed in the United
States as well as higher year-over-year costs associated with equipment sold under our VAR program
with NCR.
Gross Margin. The total gross margins earned for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2006, were 24.9% and 24.4%, respectively, compared to the total gross margins of
22.2% and 21.8% achieved during the same periods in 2005. Such increases were primarily due to a
greater percentage of our gross profit being generated by our United Kingdom operations, which
typically earn higher overall ATM operating margins than our domestic ATM operations.
Additionally, our year-to-date results in 2006 reflect nine months of operating results from our
United Kingdom operations compared to only five months of operating results reflected in 2005.
Also contributing to the higher margins in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
were increased bank and network branding revenues from our domestic operations as well as increased
service call revenues resulting from Triple DES security upgrades and the aforementioned
non-transaction based services that are provided as part of our network branding operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2006,
our selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, increased by
27.2% when compared to the same period in 2005. Such increase was attributable to higher costs
associated with our domestic operations, which increased $1.1 million, or 32.7%, primarily due to
higher employee-related costs and higher accounting, legal, and professional fees resulting from
our past growth. In the United Kingdom, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, declined slightly when compared to the same period in the prior
year as a result of certain cost savings that were implemented subsequent to the May 2005
acquisition date.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses,
excluding stock-based compensation, increased 35.6%, primarily due to higher costs associated with
our United States operations. Such increase, which totaled $2.8 million or 29.8%, was due to the
same factors that contributed to the quarterly year-over-year increase noted above. Additionally,
year-to-date selling, general and administrative expense in our United Kingdom operations increased
by $0.8 million, or 47.7%, due to the fact that the 2005 results included only five months of
operating results from Bank Machine. However, such increase was offset somewhat by the
aforementioned cost savings. Finally, our Mexico operations, which were acquired in February 2006,
contributed approximately $0.3 million to the year-over-year variance.
Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation for the three months ended September 30,
2006, increased by 83.2% when compared to the same period in 2005. Such increase was primarily due
to the additional stock-compensation expense recorded in 2006 as a result of our adoption of SFAS
No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, stock-based
compensation decreased by 71.0% when compared to the same period in prior year. Such decrease was
primarily due to an additional $1.7 million in stock-based compensation recognized during the 2005
period related to the repurchase of shares underlying certain employee stock options in connection
with our Series B preferred stock financing transaction. See Note 3 in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Companys stock-based
compensation.
27
We expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will increase slightly in the
future due to higher accounting, legal, and professional fees resulting from our becoming subject
to the reporting requirements of the SEC, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, depreciation and accretion
expense increased by 53.9% and 65.0%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2005. The
quarterly increase was primarily driven by a $1.4 million, or 52.8%, increase in depreciation and
accretion expense associated with our domestic operations and a $0.4 million, or 56.5%, increase in
depreciation and accretion expense associated with our United Kingdom operations. The quarterly
year-over-year increase in both our United States and United Kingdom segments was primarily due to
the deployment of additional ATMs under company-owned arrangements during the latter part of 2005
and 2006. Additionally, the quarterly results for our United States operations reflected the
acceleration of depreciation for certain ATMs that were deinstalled early as a result of contract
terminations as well as certain ATMs that are expected to be replaced sooner than originally
anticipated as part of our Triple DES security upgrade process. Finally, the Company also recorded
additional accretion expense in 2006 related to our asset retirement obligations during the period.
The year-to-date increase in depreciation and accretion expense was driven by the same factors that
gave rise to the quarterly year-over-year variance as well as the fact that the 2005 year-to-date
results for our United Kingdom operations only reflect five months of operating results. See the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section for additional information on our capital expenditures
program.
In the future, we expect that our depreciation and accretion expense will grow in proportion
to the increase in the number of ATMs we own and deploy throughout our company-owned portfolio.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, amortization expense, which is
primarily comprised of amortization of intangible merchant contracts and relationships associated
with our past acquisitions, increased by 14.3% and 68.9%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods in 2005. The quarterly year-over-year increase was primarily driven by a $0.2 million, or
199.0%, increase associated with our United Kingdom operations. This increase relates to
additional contract-based intangible assets, which are being amortized over the lives of the
underlying contracts. The year-to-date increase in amortization expense was primarily attributable
to a $2.8 million impairment charge recorded during the first quarter of 2006 related to the BAS
Communications, Inc. (BASC) ATM portfolio and the fact that the 2005 year-to-date results only
reflect five months of results from operations in the United Kingdom. The BASC impairment charge
reflects a reduction in anticipated future cash flows resulting primarily from a higher than
planned attrition rate associated with this acquired portfolio. Additionally, the 2005
year-to-date results only include seven and five months worth of amortization expense,
respectively, related to the BASC and Neo Concepts, Inc. acquisitions.

Interest Expense, Net. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006,
interest expense, excluding the amortization and write-off of financing costs and bond discount,
increased by 23.8% and 71.8%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2005. Both the
quarterly and year-to-date increases were due to (i) the additional borrowings made under our bank
credit facilities in May 2005 to finance the Bank Machine acquisition, and (ii) the incremental
interest expense associated with our senior subordinated notes offering in August 2005.
Additionally, as a result of our inability to register our senior subordinated notes with the SEC
and complete the related exchange offer within the time periods outlined in the indenture governing
such notes, the annual interest rate on the notes increased from 9.25% to 9.50% in June 2006,
further contributing to the year-over-year increases. Such rate was increased further to 9.75% in
September 2006, pursuant to the terms of the underlying indenture, before reverting back to the
9.25% stated rate in October 2006 upon the successful completion of our exchange offer. Finally,
the year-over-year increase in interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2006, was also impacted by an overall increase in the level of floating interest
rates paid under our revolving credit facility.
Amortization and Write-off of Financing Costs and Bond Discount. For the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006, expenses related to the amortization and write-off of financing
costs and bond discount decreased 93.4% and 76.1%, respectively, when compared to the same periods
in 2005. The increased expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005,
were due to the write-offs of approximately $4.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of
deferred financing costs as a result of amendments to our bank credit facility in May 2005 and the
repayment of our term loans in August 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the
Company wrote-off approximately $0.5 million in deferred financing costs in connection with certain
modifications made to the Companys existing revolving credit facilities in February 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the $0.08 million of other income was primarily
due to a $0.5 million payment received in August 2006 from one of our customers related to the sale
of a number of its stores to another party, partially offset by the loss associated with the
disposal of ATMs during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the $0.7
million of other income was primarily the result of a $1.1 million contract termination payment
received in May 2006 and the $0.5 million aforementioned payment received in August 2006. These
payments were partially offset by losses related to the disposal of ATMs.

As indicated in the table above, our income tax benefit decreased by 96.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the same period in 2005. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2006, the year-over-year increase was 123.3%. On an absolute basis, these
changes were driven by corresponding changes in our pre-tax loss levels for each period. The low
effective tax rate experienced during the most recent quarterly period is due to the relative mix
of pre-tax income and loss amounts in our domestic and foreign jurisdictions and the fact that we
are not currently recognizing any tax benefits related to our Mexico operations. While we expect
that our effective tax rate will remain relatively consistent in future periods, such rate could
vary from quarter to quarter, as noted above, depending on the mix of pre-tax income and loss
amounts generated in our domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $0.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on
hand and approximately $253.0 million in outstanding long-term debt, notes payable and capital
lease obligations.
We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations,
borrowings under our credit facilities, private placements of equity securities, and the sale of
bonds. We have historically used cash to invest in additional operating ATMs, either through the
acquisition of ATM networks or through organically generated growth. We have also used cash to fund
increases in working capital and to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our
borrowings. Because we typically collect our cash on a daily basis and are not required to pay our
vendors until 30 days after the end of each calendar month, we are able to utilize the excess
upfront cash flow to pay down borrowings made under our revolving credit facility and to fund our
ongoing capital expenditure program. Accordingly, we will typically reflect a working capital
deficit position and carry a very small cash balance on our books.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $16.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, down from the $29.1 million provided by operating activities during the same
period in 2005. Such decrease was primarily attributable to the payment of an additional $14.1
million in interest costs in 2006, primarily as a result of the issuance of our senior subordinated
in August 2005 and the timing of the related interest payments. This additional interest cost was
offset somewhat by the $1.8 million of incremental operating cash flows generated by our United
Kingdom operations in 2006 compared to 2005.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $25.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $131.2 million for the same period in 2005. The significant
year-over-year decrease was driven by the $105.8 million in cash that was expended to fund the Bank
Machine, BASC, and Neo Concepts, Inc. acquisitions during the first nine months of 2005.
Payments made for capital expenditures totaled $24.2 million and $24.5 million, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Additionally, exclusive license payments
totaling $1.8 million and $1.0 million were made in 2006 and 2005. Though we will continue to
evaluate opportunities to acquire additional ATM networks, we currently anticipate that the
majority of our capital expenditures for the foreseeable future will be driven by organic growth
projects as opposed to acquisitions, including the purchasing of ATMs for existing as well as new
ATM management agreements. However, we continually evaluate opportunities to acquire additional ATM
networks. We currently expect that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2006 will be in
the range of approximately $7.0 million to $9.0 million, the majority of which will be utilized to
purchase additional ATMs for our company-owned accounts. We expect such expenditures to be funded
with cash generated from our operations, supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit
facility when needed.
In addition to the above, we expect to make capital expenditures to upgrade our ATMs to be
both Encrypting PIN Pad (EPP) and Triple DES compliant over the next two years. To accomplish
these upgrades on all of our company-owned ATMs by the end of 2007, we currently expect to spend
approximately $11.8 million, the majority of which will be spent in 2007. We believe this time
frame will be acceptable to the major processing networks. However, if we must accelerate our
upgrade schedule, we would also be required to significantly accelerate our capital expenditures
with respect to these upgrades. We currently expect that the majority of our capital expenditure
needs will be funded with cash generated from our operations, supplemented by borrowings under our
revolving credit facility when needed.
Finally, we may be required to make additional capital expenditures in future periods to
comply with anticipated new regulations resulting from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Furthermore, in connection with our E*TRADE Access acquisition, we assumed responsibility for the
outcome of a lawsuit instituted in Massachusetts Federal District Court by the National Federation
of the Blind and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In this lawsuit, the plaintiffs initially
sought to require E*TRADE Access to make all of the ATMs in its network voice-enabled, or capable
of providing audible instructions to a visually-impaired person upon that person inserting a
headset plug into an outlet at the ATM. We acknowledge that recently proposed accessibility
guidelines under the ADA would require voice-enabling technology for newly installed ATMs and for
ATMs that are otherwise retrofitted or substantially modified. We currently estimate that it
would cost approximately $1.5 million in capital expenditures to make all of our company-owned ATMs
voice-enabled. Although these new rules have not yet been adopted by the Department of Justice,
we plan to incur most of these costs in 2007 as part of our Triple DES security upgrade efforts.
30
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $103.4 million during the same period in 2005. The higher amount
in 2005 was due to incremental borrowings that were made to fund the Bank Machine, BASC, and Neo
Concepts, Inc. acquisitions, as previously discussed. Additionally, in 2005 we issued $75.0
million worth of Series B preferred stock to a new investor, TA Associates. The net proceeds from
such offering were utilized to redeem our existing Series A preferred stock, including all accrued
and unpaid dividends related thereto and to redeem approximately 24% of our outstanding common
stock and vested options.
As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $253.0 million in outstanding long-term debt,
notes payable, and capital lease obligations, which was comprised of (i) approximately $198.8
million (net of discount of $1.2 million) of senior subordinated notes due August 2013, (ii)
approximately $54.1 million in borrowings under our existing revolving and swing line credit
facilities, and (iii) approximately $0.1 million in notes payable and capital lease obligations.
The notes payable and capital lease obligations are expected to be repaid in full within the next
12 months. Interest payments associated with the senior subordinated notes total $18.5 million on
an annual basis and are due in semi-annual installments of $9.25 million in February and August of
each year. However, as previously discussed, such interest payments were higher during the second
and third quarters of 2006 as we finalized the SEC registration and exchange of such notes.
Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are not due until the facilitys maturity
date in May 2010. Interest payments associated with such borrowings are due monthly, quarterly or
annually, depending on the types of borrowings made under the facility.
In February 2006, we amended our revolving credit facility to remove or modify certain
restrictive covenants contained within the facility and to reduce the maximum borrowing capacity
from $150.0 million to $125.0 million. We recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.5 million
associated with the write-off of previously deferred financing costs related to the facility as a
result of this amendment. Although the maximum borrowing capacity was reduced, the overall effect
of the amendment was to increase our liquidity and financial flexibility through the removal and
modification of certain restrictive covenants, as contained in the facility. As of September 30,
2006, we had the ability to borrow an additional $47.6 million under the facility based on the
covenants contained in such facility.
In addition to the above domestic credit facility, Bank Machine has a £2.0 million unsecured
overdraft and borrowing facility that expires in July 2007. Such facility, which bears interest at
1.75% over the banks base rate (currently 5.0%), is utilized for general corporate purposes for
our United Kingdom operations. No borrowings were outstanding under such facility as of September
30, 2006. However, Bank Machine has posted a £275,000 bond under such facility, which reduces the
amount available for future borrowings under the facility to £1.725 million.
We believe that our cash on hand and our current bank credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet our working capital requirements and contractual commitments for the next 12 months. We expect
to fund our working capital needs from revenues generated from our operations and borrowings under
our revolving credit facility, to the extent needed. However, although we believe that we have
sufficient flexibility under our current revolving credit facility to pursue and finance our
expansion plans, such facility does contain certain covenants, including a covenant that limits the
ratio of outstanding senior debt to EBITDA (as defined in the facility), that could preclude us
from drawing down the full amount currently available for borrowing under such facility.
Accordingly, if we expand faster than planned, need to respond to competitive pressures, or acquire
additional ATM networks, we may be required to seek additional sources of financing. Such sources
may come through the sale of equity or debt securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us or at all. If future financing sources are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future needs.
This may prevent us from increasing our market share, capitalizing on new business opportunities,
or remaining competitive in our industry.
New Accounting Standards
Share-Based Payment. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the intrinsic value
method of accounting for stock-based compensation, as previously allowed under APB No. 25, and
requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of
equity instruments based on the fair value of such awards on their grant date (with limited
exceptions). See Note 3 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for
additional information with respect to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R and the impact such adoption
had on our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position
taken or expected to
31
be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. We are currently evaluating what
impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial
statements.
Evaluation of Prior Period Misstatements in Current Financial Statements. In September 2006,
the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108
provides guidance on how to evaluate the impact of financial statement misstatements from prior
periods that have been identified in the current year. The provisions of SAB No. 108 are effective
for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect this statement
to have a material effect on it financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest expense and our cash rental expense are sensitive to changes in the general level
of interest rates in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, particularly because a
substantial portion of our indebtedness accrues interest at floating rates and our ATM cash rental
expense is based on market rates of interest. Our outstanding vault cash, which represents the
cash we rent and place in our ATMs in cases where the merchant does not provide the cash, totaled
approximately $345.6 million in the United States, $85.8 million in the United Kingdom, and
approximately $2.1 million in Mexico as of September 30, 2006. We pay a monthly fee on the average
amount outstanding to our primary vault cash providers in the United States and the United Kingdom
under a formula based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. Additionally, in Mexico, we
pay a monthly fee to our vault cash provider there under a formula based on the Mexican Interbank
Rate, or TIIE.
We have entered into a number of interest rate swaps to fix the rate of interest we pay on
$300.0 million of our current and anticipated outstanding domestic vault cash balances through
December 31, 2008, $200.0 million through December 31, 2009, and $100.0 million through December
31, 2010. We have not currently entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge our
variable interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico. The effect of the domestic swaps
mentioned above was to fix the interest rate paid on the following notional amounts for the periods

Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to our cost of ATM
operating revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, there were no gains or losses recorded in
the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a result of ineffectiveness associated with
our existing interest rate swaps.
Our existing interest rate swaps have been classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Accordingly,
changes in the fair values of such swaps have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2006,
the accumulated unrealized gain on such swaps totaled approximately $4.7 million, net of tax.
Based on the $345.6 million in vault cash outstanding in the United States as of September 30,
2006, and assuming no benefits from the existing interest rate hedges that are currently in place,
for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an additional $3.5 million of
vault cash rental expense on an annualized basis. Factoring in the $300.0 million in interest rate
swaps discussed above, for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an
additional $0.5 million of vault cash rental expense on an annualized basis. Based on the $85.8
million in vault cash outstanding in the United Kingdom as of September 30, 2006, for every
interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an additional $0.9 million of vault cash
rental expense on an annualized basis. In Mexico, we would incur roughly $21,000 in additional
vault cash rental expense for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points.
In addition to the above, we are exposed to variable interest rate risk on borrowings under
our domestic revolving credit facility. Based on the $54.1 million in floating rate debt
outstanding under such facility as of September 30, 2006, for every interest rate increase of 100
basis points, we would incur an additional $0.5 million of interest expense. Recent upward pressure
on short-term interest rates in the United States has resulted in slight increases in our interest
expense under our bank credit facilities and our vault cash rental expense. Although we currently
hedge a substantial portion of our vault cash interest rate risk through 2010, as noted above, we
may not be able to enter into similar arrangements for similar amounts in the future. Any
significant increase in interest rates in the future could have an adverse impact on our business,
financial condition and results of operations by increasing our operating costs and expenses.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Due to our acquisition of Bank Machine in 2005 and our acquisition of a majority interest in
Cardtronics Mexico earlier this year, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, specifically with changes in the U.S. Dollar relative to the British Pound
and Mexican Peso. Our United Kingdom and Mexico subsidiaries are consolidated into our financial
results and are subject to risks typical of international businesses including, but not limited to,
differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other
regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Furthermore, we are required to
translate the financial condition and results of operations of Bank Machine and Cardtronics Mexico
into U.S. Dollars, with any corresponding translation gains or losses being recorded in other
comprehensive income or loss in our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2006,
such translation gains totaled approximately $1.5 million.
Our future results could be materially impacted by changes in the value of the British Pound
relative to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, as our Mexico operations expand, our future results
could be materially impacted by changes in the value of the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S.
Dollar. At this time, we have not deemed it to be cost effective to engage in a program of hedging
the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results using derivative financial
instruments. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or
weakened 10% against the British Pound, the effect upon Bank Machines operating income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been an unfavorable or favorable adjustment,
respectively, of approximately $0.4 million. Given the limited size and scope of Cardtronics
Mexicos current operations, a similar sensitivity analysis would have resulted in a negligible
adjustment to Cardtronics Mexicos financial results for the period from the acquisition date
through September 30, 2006.
We do not hold derivative commodity instruments and all of our cash and cash equivalents are
held in money market and checking funds.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of our disclosure
committee in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is accurate, complete and timely. Based on the results of
this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, there has been no change in our internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
National Federation of the Blind. In connection with its acquisition of the E*TRADE Access,
Inc. (ETA) ATM portfolio, the Company assumed ETAs interests and liability for a lawsuit
instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the Court) by
the NFB, the NFBs Massachusetts chapter, and several individual blind persons (collectively, the
Private Plaintiffs) as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to claims relating
to the alleged inaccessibility of ATMs for those persons who are
visually-impaired. After the
acquisition of the ETA ATM portfolio, the Private Plaintiffs named Cardtronics as a co-defendant
with ETA and ETAs parent, E*Trade Bank, and the scope of the lawsuit has expanded to include both
ETAs ATMs as well as the Companys pre-existing ATM portfolio.
In this lawsuit, the Private Plaintiffs have sought to require ETA and Cardtronics to make all
of the ATMs voice-enabled, or capable of providing audible instructions to a visually-impaired
person upon that person inserting a headset plug into an outlet at the ATM. The Court has ruled
twice (in February 2005 and February 2006) that the NFB is not entitled to a voice-enabled
remedy. Nonetheless, in response to an order to describe the relief they seek, the Private
Plaintiffs have subsequently stated that they demand either (i) voice-guidance technology on each
ATM; (ii) Braille instructions on each ATM that allow individuals who are blind to understand
every screen (which, we assume, may imply a dynamic Braille pad); or (iii) a telephone on each ATM
so the user could speak with a remote operator who can either see the screen on the ATM or can
enter information for the user.
Cardtronics has asserted numerous defenses to the lawsuit. One defense is that, for ATMs
owned by third parties, the Company arguably does not have the right to make changes to the ATMs
without the consent of the third parties. Another defense is that the ADA arguably does not
require the Company to make changes to ATMs if the changes are not feasible or achievable, or if
the costs outweigh the benefits. The costs of retrofitting or replacing existing ATMs with voice
technology, dynamic Braille keypads, or telephones and interactive data lines would be significant.
Additionally, in situations in which the ATMs are owned by third parties and Cardtronics provides
processing services, the costs are extremely disproportionate to the Companys interests in the
ATMs.
Cardtronics has also challenged the Private Plaintiffs standing to file this lawsuit. In
response to the Companys challenge, the Private Plaintiffs have requested the Courts permission
to (i) amend their complaint to name additional individual plaintiffs and (ii) certify the lawsuit
as a class action under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Briefing on these motions is not
complete as of the filing of this report. Cardtronics expects to object to the Private Plaintiffs
motion, on the grounds that the plaintiffs who initially filed the lawsuit lacked standing and this
deficiency arguably cannot be cured by amending the complaint. A hearing on the standing issue has
not yet been set but is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2007.
Accessibility Guidelines under the ADA. Recently proposed Accessibility Guidelines under the
ADA would require voice-enabling technology for newly installed ATMs and for ATMs
that are otherwise retrofitted or substantially modified. The Company currently estimates that it
would cost approximately $1.5 million in capital expenditures to make all of its company-owned ATMs
voice-enabled. Although these new rules have not yet been adopted by the Department of Justice,
the Company plans to incur most of these costs in 2007 as part of its Triple DES security upgrade
efforts.
Other Matters. In June 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of the Companys
merchant customers, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York (the Federal Action). The complaint, which
was formally served to the Company in September 2006, alleged that Cardtronics had breached an ATM
operating agreement between the parties by failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of
fees under the agreement. On October 6, 2006, Cardtronics filed a petition in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that Cardtronics had not
breached the ATM operating agreement. On October 10, 2006, the Customer filed a second complaint,
this time in New York State Supreme Court, alleging the same claims it had alleged in the Federal
Action. Subsequently, the Customer dismissed the Federal Action because the federal court did not
have subject matter jurisdiction. The Customer is claiming that it is owed no less than $600,000
in lost revenues, exclusive of interests and costs, and projects that additional damages will
accrue to them at a rate of approximately $100,000 per month, exclusive of interest and costs. It
is the Companys position that the Customers claims in the New York lawsuit are without merit and
the Company will move to dismiss those claims at the appropriate time. The Company also believes
that it will ultimately prevail upon the merits in this matter, although it gives no assurance as
to the final outcome. Furthermore, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this
dispute will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition or results of
operations.
In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations
and claims. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits,
investigations and claims asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal
proceeding to which we are a party, other than the litigation discussed above, will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
