CARDTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) General and Basis of Presentation
General
Cardtronics, Inc., along with its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company or Cardtronics) owns and operates approximately 28,825 automated teller machines
(ATM) in all 50 states, 2,350 ATMs located throughout the United Kingdom, and 1,425 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 network of ATMs within the United States (based on the
number of participating ATMs) and works with financial institutions to place their logos on the
Companys ATM machines, thus providing convenient surcharge-free access to the financial
institutions customers.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim 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. Because the Company owns a majority (51.0%)
interest in and absorbs a majority of the losses or returns of Cardtronics Mexico, this entity is
reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, with
the remaining ownership interest not held by the Company being reflected as a minority interest.
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the cumulative losses generated by Cardtronics Mexico
and allocable to such minority interest shareholders exceeded the underlying equity amounts of such
minority interest shareholders. Accordingly, all future losses generated by Cardtronics Mexico will
be allocated 100% to Cardtronics until such time that Cardtronics Mexico generates a cumulative
amount of earnings sufficient to cover all excess losses allocable to the Company, or until such
time that the minority interest shareholders contribute additional equity to Cardtronics Mexico in
an amount sufficient to cover such losses. As of March 31, 2008, the cumulative amount of excess
losses allocated to Cardtronics totaled approximately $0.4 million. Such amount is net of
contributions of $0.3 million made by the minority interest shareholders during 2007.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the 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 the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which includes a summary of the Companys significant
accounting policies and other disclosures.
The financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited
balance sheet filed in the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In managements opinion, all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of
the Companys interim period results have been made. The results of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Additionally, the financial
statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current
period presentation. Those reclassifications did not impact the Companys reported net loss or
stockholders equity.
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.

consolidated statements of operations exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization
expenses related to ATMs and ATM-related assets. The following table sets forth the amounts
excluded from cost of ATM operating revenues and gross profit during the three month periods ended

(2) Acquisitions
Acquisition of 7-Eleven Financial Services Business
On July 20, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the financial
services business of 7-Eleven, Inc. (the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business) for approximately
$137.3 million in cash. This acquisition (the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction) was made as the Company
believed the acquisition would provide it with substantial benefits and opportunities to execute
its overall strategy, including the addition of high-volume ATMs in prime retail locations, organic
growth potential, branding and surcharge-free network opportunities, and future outsourcing
opportunities.
The 7-Eleven ATM Transaction included approximately 5,500 ATMs located in 7-Eleven, Inc.
(7-Eleven) stores throughout the United States, of which approximately 2,000 were
advanced-functionality financial self-service kiosks, referred to as Vcom terminals, that are
capable of providing more sophisticated financial services, such as check-cashing, remote deposit
capture (which is deposit taking at ATMs not located on a banks premises using electronic
imaging), money transfer, bill payment services, and other kiosk-based financial services
(collectively, the Vcom Services). The Company funded the acquisition through the issuance of
$100.0 million of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2013 Series B (the Series B Notes) and
additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, which was amended in connection with the
acquisition. See Note 8 for additional details on these financings. The Company has included the
results of the operations of the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business for all periods subsequent to
July 19, 2007.

The Company accounted for the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction as a business combination pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly,
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. The following table

acquisition date (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation presented above resulted in a goodwill balance of approximately
$62.2 million, which is deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, the purchase price allocation
resulted in approximately $78.0 million in identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization,
which was determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow approach. Of the total $78.0 million of
intangible assets identified, $64.3 million relates to the 10-year ATM operating agreement that was
entered into with 7-Eleven in conjunction with the acquisition, which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, and $13.7 million relates to a branding
contract acquired in the transaction, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the
underlying contract (8.4 years).
In addition, the Company recorded $19.5 million of other liabilities ($7.8 million in current
portion of other long-term liabilities and $11.7 million in other long-term liabilities) related to
certain unfavorable equipment operating leases and an operating contract assumed as part of the
7-Eleven ATM Transaction. These liabilities are being amortized over the remaining terms of the
underlying contracts and serve to reduce the corresponding ATM operating expense amounts to the
fair value of these services as of the date of the acquisition.
Pro Forma Results of Operations. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma
combined results of operations of the Company and the acquired 7-Eleven Financial Services Business
for the three months ended March 31, 2007, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments,
including the effects of the issuance of the Series B Notes and additional borrowings under its
revolving credit facility, as amended (Note 8). The unaudited pro forma financial results assume
that both the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction and the related financing transactions occurred on
January 1, 2007. This pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had those transactions been
consummated on such date. The pro forma results include approximately $4.2 million of placement
fee revenues associated with the Vcom operations of the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business, which
are not expected to recur in future periods. Furthermore, such pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of the future results to be expected for the consolidated operations.

(3) Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements under SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, which requires a company to record the grant date fair value of
stock-based compensation arrangements, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the underlying service periods of the related awards. The following table
reflects the total stock-based compensation expense amounts included in the accompanying

(4) Earnings per Share
The Company reports its earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per
Share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per share (as well as their related income statement impacts) when
their impact on net income (loss) available to common stockholders is anti-dilutive. For the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred net losses and, accordingly,
excluded all potentially dilutive securities from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as
their impact on the net loss available to common stockholders was anti-dilutive. Such anti-dilutive
securities included outstanding stock options, restricted shares, and, for periods prior to their
conversion in December 2007, the Companys Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock. The
following is a summary of the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the
computation of diluted net loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and
2007:

The significant increase in the total comprehensive loss figure for the three month period
ended March 31, 2008 was due to the precipitous drop in current and forecasted interest rates that
occurred during the period, which resulted in a corresponding decline in value associated with the
Companys interest rate hedges. For additional information on the Companys interest rate hedges,
see Note 12.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is displayed as a separate component of stockholders
equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consisted of the following as of March

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. As a result of the Companys overall
net loss position for tax purposes, the Company has not recorded deferred tax benefits on the loss
amounts related to these interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007, as
management does not currently believe the Company will be able to realize the benefits associated
with its net deferred tax asset positions.

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 and branding contracts/relationships and from 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 and branding contracts/relationships, exclusive license agreements,
and non-compete agreements totaled $4.5 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Included in the 2007 amount is approximately $0.1 million in
additional amortization expense related to the impairment of an intangible asset associated with an
acquired ATM portfolio within the Companys U.S reporting segment. This impairment was the result
of the anticipated non-renewal of a contract included within a previously acquired portfolio.
Amortization of deferred financing costs and bond discounts totaled approximately $0.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Estimated amortization expense for the Companys intangible assets with definite lives for the
remaining nine months of 2008, each of the next five years, and thereafter is as follows:

Credit Facility
The Companys revolving credit facility provides for $175.0 million in borrowings, subject to
certain restrictions. Borrowings under the facility currently bear interest at the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread, which is currently 2.25%. Additionally, the Company pays a
commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.
Substantially all of the Companys assets, including the stock of its wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries and 66.0% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings
made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of the Companys domestic subsidiaries
has guaranteed the Companys obligations under such facility. The primary restrictive covenants
within the facility 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. During
March 2008, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to increase the amount of capital
expenditures that it can incur on a rolling 12-month basis to $90.0 million. There are currently no
restrictions on the ability of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends
directly to the Company. As of March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all applicable
covenants and ratios under the facility.
As of March 31, 2008, $39.5 million of borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit
facility. Additionally, the Company had posted $7.2 million in letters of credit under the facility
in favor of the lessors under the ATM equipment leases that the Company assumed in connection with
the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction. These letters of credit, which the lessors may draw upon in the event
the Company fails to make payments under the leases, further reduce the Companys borrowing
capacity under the facility. As of March 31, 2008, the Companys
10
available borrowing capacity under the amended facility, as determined under the earnings
before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and accretion expense, and amortization expense
(EBITDA) and interest expense covenants contained in the agreement, totaled approximately $128.3
million.
Senior Subordinated Notes
Series A Notes. In October 2006, the Company completed the registration of $200.0 million in
senior subordinated notes (the Series A Notes), which were originally issued in August 2005
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Series A Notes, which are
subordinate to borrowings made under the revolving credit facility, mature in August 2013, carry a
9.25% coupon, and were issued with an effective yield of 9.375%. Interest under the notes is paid
semiannually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th of each year. 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. Under the terms of the indenture, at any time prior to
August 15, 2008, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series A
Notes at a redemption price of 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest, subject to certain conditions outlined in the indenture. Additionally, at any time
prior to August 15, 2009, the Company may redeem all or part of the Series A Notes at a redemption
price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount plus an Applicable Premium, as defined in
the indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after August 15, 2009, the Company may
redeem all or a part of the Series A Notes at the redemption prices set forth by the indenture plus
any accrued and unpaid interest.
Series B Notes. On July 20, 2007, the Company sold $100.0 million of 9.25% senior subordinated
notes due 2013 Series B (the Series B Notes) pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933. Net proceeds from the offering, which totaled $95.3 million, were used to fund a portion of
the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition. The form and
terms of the Series B Notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the Series A Notes,
except that (i) the Series A Notes have been registered with the SEC while the Series B Notes
remain subject to transfer restrictions until the Company completes an exchange offer, and (ii) the
Series B Notes were issued with Original Issue Discount and with an effective yield of 9.54%.
Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into in conjunction with the
offering, the Company was required to file a registration statement with the SEC within 240 days of
the issuance of the Series B Notes with respect to an offer to exchange each of the Series B Notes
for a new issue of our debt securities registered under the Securities Act with terms identical to
those of the Series B Notes (except for the provisions relating to the transfer restrictions and
payment of additional interest) and use reasonable best efforts to have the exchange offer become
effective as soon as reasonably practicable after filing but in any event no later than 360 days
after the initial issuance date of the Series B Notes. The Company completed the first step of the
registration process in February 2008 with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 with
the SEC. However, if the Company fails to satisfy these obligations, it will be required, under
certain circumstances, to pay additional interest to the holders of the Series B Notes.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants required
under the Series A and Series B Notes.
Other Facilities
Bank Machine overdraft facility. In addition to Cardtronics, Inc.s revolving credit facility,
Bank Machine (Acquisitions) Ltd. (Bank Machine) has a £2.0 million unsecured overdraft facility
that expires in July 2008. Such facility, which bears interest at 1.75% over the banks base rate
(currently 5.00%), is utilized for general corporate purposes for the Companys United Kingdom
operations. As of March 31, 2008, approximately £1.0 million ($2.0 million) of this facility had
been utilized to help fund certain working capital commitments. Amounts outstanding under the
overdraft facility are reflected in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheet, as such
amounts are automatically repaid once cash deposits are made to the underlying bank accounts.
Cardtronics Mexico equipment financing agreements. During 2006 and 2007, Cardtronics Mexico
entered into six separate five-year equipment financing agreements with a single lender. Such
agreements, which are denominated in pesos and bear interest at an average fixed rate of 10.96%,
were utilized for the purchase of additional ATMs to support our Mexico operations. As of March 31,
2008, approximately $90.4 million pesos ($8.5
11
million U.S.) were outstanding under the agreements in place at the time, with future
borrowings to be individually negotiated between the lender and Cardtronics. Pursuant to the terms
of the loan agreement, we have issued a guaranty for 51.0% of the obligations under this agreement
(consistent with the Companys ownership percentage in Cardtronics Mexico.) As of March 31, 2008,
the total amount of the guaranty was $46.1 million pesos ($4.3 million U.S.).
(9) 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 has 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

The change in estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2008 represents the write-off
of residual liability amounts associated with a portfolio of ATMs previously installed at one of
the Companys merchant customers locations. As the entire portfolio of machines was deinstalled
in conjunction with the Companys Triple-DES security upgrade efforts in 2007 and 2008, the Company
no longer has any further deinstallation obligations associated with the previously-installed ATMs.
The amount shown as a change in estimates represents the difference in the costs that the Company
originally estimated it would incur to deinstall the ATMs and the actual costs incurred on the
deinstallations.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal and Other Regulatory Matters
In 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of the Companys merchant customers, filed a
complaint in the New York State Supreme Court alleging that Cardtronics had breached its ATM
operating agreement with the Customer by failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of fees
under the agreement. The Customer is claiming that it is owed no less than $600,000 in lost
revenues, exclusive of interest 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. As the term of the
Companys operating agreement with the Customer extends to December 2014, the Customers claims
12
could exceed $12.0 million. In response to a motion for summary judgment filed by the Customer
and a cross-motion filed by the Company, the New York State Supreme Court ruled in September 2007
that the Companys interpretation of the ATM operating agreement was the appropriate interpretation
and expressly rejected the Customers proposed interpretations. The Customer has appealed this
ruling. Notwithstanding that appeal, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this
dispute will not have a material adverse impact on its 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 Company has provided reserves where necessary for all claims and 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.
Capital and Operating Leases
Capital Lease Obligations. As a result of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, the Company assumed
responsibility for certain capital lease contracts that will expire at various times through June
2010. Upon the fulfillment of certain payment obligations related to the capital leases, ownership
of the ATMs transfers to the Company. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $1.7 million of capital
lease obligations were included within the Companys consolidated balance sheet.
Operating Lease Obligations. In addition to the capital leases assumed in conjunction the
7-Eleven ATM Transaction, the Company also assumed certain operating leases in connection with the
acquisition. In conjunction with its purchase price allocation related to the 7-Eleven ATM
Transaction, the Company recorded approximately $8.7 million of other liabilities (current and
long-term) to value certain unfavorable equipment operating leases assumed as part of the
acquisition. These liabilities are being amortized over the remaining terms of the underlying
leases, the majority of which expire in late 2009, and serve to reduce ATM operating lease expense
amounts to the fair value of these services as of the date of the acquisition. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized approximately $0.9 million in lease expense
reductions associated with the amortization of these liabilities, and the remaining balance as of
March 31, 2008 was $6.1 million. Upon the expiration of the operating leases, the Company will be
required to renew such lease contracts, enter into new lease contracts, or purchase new or used
ATMs to replace the leased equipment.
Related Letters of Credit. Additionally, in conjunction with the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction,
the Company posted $7.5 million in letters of credit related to these operating and capital leases
upon which the lessors can draw in the event the Company fails to make schedules payments under the
leases. These letters of credit, which are reduced periodically as payments are made under the
leases, will be released upon the expiration of the leases. As of March 31, 2008, the total
outstanding balance under these letters of credit was $7.2 million.
Other Commitments
Asset retirement obligations. The Companys 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. The Company
had $18.4 million accrued for such liabilities as of March 31, 2008. For additional information on
the Companys asset retirement obligations, see Note 9.
Registration payment arrangements. In conjunction with the issuance of its Series B Notes, the
Company entered into a registration rights agreement under which it is required to take certain
steps to exchange the Series B Notes for notes registered with the SEC within 360 days following
the original issuance date (July 19, 2007). In the event it is unable to meet the deadlines set
forth in the agreement, the Company will be subject to higher interest rates on the Series B Notes
in subsequent periods until the exchange offer is completed. Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-19-2, Accounting for
Registration Payment Arrangements, requires that contingent obligations under registration payment
arrangements be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. The Company completed the first step of the registration process in February 2008
with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, and the Company currently
believes it is not probable that incremental interest payments will be made as a result of the
provisions of the registration rights agreement. As a result, the Company
13
has not recognized a liability as of March 31, 2008 related to the registration rights
agreement. In the event it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to affect the exchange
offer in a timely manner, the Company will reevaluate the need to record a liability at that time.
(12) 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 the federal funds effective rate in the United
States, LIBOR in the United Kingdom, and the Mexican Interbank Rate in Mexico). It is the Companys
policy to limit the variability of a portion of its expected future interest payments as a result
of changes in the underlying rates by utilizing certain types of derivative financial instruments.
To meet the above objective, the Company has entered into several LIBOR-based and federal
funds effective rate-based interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate paid on $550.0 million of
the Companys current and anticipated outstanding ATM cash balances in the United States. The
swaps in place as of March 31, 2008 serve to fix the interest rate paid on the following notional
amounts for the periods identified:

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had a liability of $27.1 million and
$13.6 million, respectively, recorded in its consolidated balance sheets related to the above
interest rate swaps, which represented the fair value of such agreements based on third-party
quotes for similar instruments with the same terms and conditions, as such instruments are required
to be carried at fair value. These 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 loss
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Companys overall net loss
position for tax purposes, the Company has not recorded deferred tax benefits on the loss amounts
related to these interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007, as management does
not currently believe that the Company will be able to realize the benefits associated with its net
deferred tax asset positions.
Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to the Companys
Cost of ATM operating revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, gains or losses incurred as a result of ineffectiveness
associated with the Companys interest rate swaps were immaterial.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to
hedge its variable interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico.
(13) Income Taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) based on the Companys loss before income taxes for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

The Company computes its quarterly income tax provision amounts under the effective tax rate
method based on applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate in each major tax jurisdiction to
the pre-tax book income or loss amounts generated in such jurisdictions. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Company increased its
14
valuation allowance by approximately $1.2 million. Such increase was due to the Companys
determination that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the benefit
associated with the net deferred tax asset balance related to its domestic operations. The
negative effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the
aforementioned domestic valuation allowance, the relative mix of pre-tax loss amounts in the
Company foreign and domestic jurisdictions, and the fact that the Company is not currently
recognizing any tax benefits associated with its Mexico operations. Furthermore, the Company was
in a taxable income position with respect to its domestic state income taxes but in a taxable loss
position with respect to its domestic federal income taxes, which also contributed to the overall
negative effective tax rate.
(14) Segment Information
As of March 31, 2008, the Companys operations consisted of its United States, United Kingdom,
Mexico, and Advanced Functionality segments. While each of these segments provides similar
ATM-related services, each segment is managed separately, as they require different marketing and
business strategies. Furthermore, the Company previously determined that the advanced functionality
services provided through the acquired Vcom units exhibited different economic characteristics than
the traditional ATM services provided by its other three segments, in large part due to the
anticipated losses associated with providing such advanced-functionality services and the fact that
these operations will be managed separately until they can achieve break-even status.
Management uses earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and accretion
expense, and amortization expense to assess the operating results and effectiveness of its business
segments. Management believes EBITDA is useful because it allows them to more effectively evaluate
the Companys and its business segments operating performance and compare the results of its
operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure.
Additionally, the Company excludes depreciation, accretion, and amortization expense as these
amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon
accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets
were acquired. EBITDA, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Therefore, EBITDA
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash
flows from operating, investing, and financing activities or other income or cash flow statement
data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

(15) New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements. In summary, SFAS No. 157 does the following:
|
1. |
|
Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value; |
|
|
2. |
|
Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement
date; |
|
|
3. |
|
Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets
and requires consideration of the Companys creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and |
|
|
4. |
|
Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. |
16
In addition, SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to
valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels
as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at
fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-1 and FSP No. 157-2.
FSP No. 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related
interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP No. 157-2
delays the effective date of the application of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application
of the statement to nonrecurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. Nonrecurring
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 include those measured at fair value for impairment testing, including
goodwill, other intangible assets, and property and equipment. As a result of the adoption of SFAS
No. 157, the Company recorded a $1.6 million reduction of the unrealized loss associated with its
interest rate swaps, which served to decrease the Companys liability associated with the interest
rate swaps and reduce its other comprehensive loss. Such adjustment reflects the consideration of
nonperformance risk by the Company for interest rate swaps that were in a net liability position as
of March 31, 2008, and the nonperformance risk of the Companys counterparties for interest rate
swaps that were in a net asset position as of March 31, 2008, as measured by the use of applicable
credit default spreads.
The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a
recurring basis as of March 31, 2008:

The following is a description of the Companys valuation methodology for assets and
liabilities measured at fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities.
These financial instruments are not carried at fair value, but are carried at amounts that
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.
Interest rate swaps. These financial instruments are carried at fair value, calculated as the
present value of amounts estimated to be received or paid to a marketplace participant in a selling
transaction. These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on significant other
observable inputs (Level 2 inputs), while taking into account the creditworthiness of the party
that is in the liability position with respect to each trade.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of
net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes
its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of
different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments
could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
17
Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies the option to measure certain
financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected not to adopt the fair
value option provisions of this statement.
Issued But Not Yet Adopted
As of March 31, 2008, the following accounting standards and interpretations had not yet been
adopted by the Company:
Business Combinations. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business
Combinations, which provides revised guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of businesses.
This standard changes the current guidance to require that all acquired assets, liabilities,
minority interest, and certain contingencies, including contingent consideration, be measured at
fair value, and certain other acquisition-related costs, including costs of a plan to exit an
activity or terminate and relocate employees, be expensed rather than capitalized. SFAS No. 141R
will apply to acquisitions that are effective after December 31, 2008, and application of the
standard to acquisitions prior to that date is not permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions
of SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009 and apply the requirements of the statement to business
combinations that occur subsequent to its adoption.
Noncontrolling Interests. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51, which provides
guidance on the presentation of minority interest in the financial statements and the accounting
for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and the holders of such
noncontrolling interest. This standard requires that minority interest be presented as a separate
component of equity rather than as a mezzanine item between liabilities and equity and requires
that minority interest be presented as a separate caption in the income statement. In addition,
this standard requires all transactions with minority interest holders, including the issuance and
repurchase of minority interests, be accounted for as equity transactions unless a change in
control of the subsidiary occurs. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are to be applied prospectively
with the exception of reclassifying noncontrolling interests to equity and recasting consolidated
net income (loss) to include net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and
noncontrolling interests, which are required to be adopted retrospectively. The Company will adopt
the provisions of SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and is currently assessing the impact its
adoption will have on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
Disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging Activities. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.
161, Disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging Activities an amendment of SFAS No. 133, which
changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
standard requires a company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the company uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
under Statement 133, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the
companys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company will adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and apply the disclosure requirements to disclosures
made subsequent to its adoption.
Useful Life of Intangible Assets. In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). The
intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under SFAS 141R (discussed above) and other applicable accounting literature.
The Company will adopt the provision of FSP FAS 142-3 on January 1, 2009 and is currently assessing
its impact the adoption will have on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are
identified by the use of the words project, believe, expect, anticipate, intend,
contemplate, would, could, plan, and similar expressions that are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking
statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and
their potential effect on us. While we believe that these forward-looking statements are reasonable
as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those
that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating
results are based on our estimates for our existing operations and do not include the potential
impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual
results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or
projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in: (1) our reports
and registration statements filed or furnished from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K; and (2) other announcements we
make from time to time.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
As of March 31, 2008, we operated a network of approximately 32,600 ATMs throughout the United
States, 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 and merchant-owned.
Company-owned Arrangements. 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, 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 includes 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, transaction
processing, 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 the ATM and provide all transaction processing services, but the merchant
generally is responsible for providing and loading cash for the ATM and performing first line
maintenance.
Typically, we deploy ATMs under Company-owned arrangements for our national and regional
merchant customers. Such customers include 7-Eleven, Chevron, Costco, CVS/Pharmacy, Duane Reade,
ExxonMobil, Hess Corporation, Rite Aid, Safeway, Sunoco, Target, and Walgreens in the United
States; Alfred Jones, Martin McColl, McDonalds, The Noble Organisation, Odeon Cinemas, Punch
Taverns, Spar, Tates, and Vue Cinemas in the United Kingdom; and OXXO in Mexico. Because
Company-owned locations are controlled by us (i.e., we control the uptime of the machines), are
usually located in major national chains, and are thus more likely candidates for additional
sources of revenue such as bank branding, they generally offer higher transaction volumes and
greater profitability, which we consider necessary to justify the upfront capital cost of
installing such machines. As of March 31, 2008, we operated over 21,500 ATMs under Company-owned
arrangements.
22
Merchant-owned Arrangements. Under a merchant-owned arrangement, the merchant owns the ATM
and is responsible for its first-line maintenance and the majority of the operating costs; however,
we generally continue to provide all transaction processing services, second-line maintenance,
24-hour per day monitoring and customer service, and, in some cases, retain responsibility for
providing and loading cash. We typically enter into merchant-owned arrangements with our smaller,
independent merchant customers. In situations where a merchant purchases an ATM from us, the
merchant normally retains responsibility for providing cash for the ATM. 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 merchant-owned arrangements under which we have assumed responsibility for
providing and loading cash and/or second line maintenance, the merchant receives a smaller fee on a
per-transaction basis than in the typical merchant-owned arrangement. As of March 31, 2008, we
operated approximately 11,100 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 internal 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 internal growth will remain on expanding the
number of Company-owned ATMs in our network due to the higher margins typically earned and the
additional revenue opportunities available to us under Company-owned arrangements.
In-house Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Processing Operations. In the fourth quarter of
2006, we began developing our own in-house EFT processing platform that provides us with the
ability to control the processing of transactions conducted on our network of ATMs. Our in-house
EFT processing operations 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.
As our in-house EFT processing operations are focused on controlling the flow and content of
information on the ATM screen, we will continue to rely on third party service providers to handle
the generic back-end connections to the EFT networks and various fund settlement and reconciliation
processes for our Company-owned accounts. However, we expect that this move will provide us with
future operational cost savings in terms of lower overall processing costs once our conversion
efforts are completed.
As of March 31, 2008, we had converted approximately 20,300 of our Company- and merchant-owned
ATMs from third party processors to our in-house EFT processing platform, including the ATMs in our
United Kingdom portfolio and our advanced-functionality financial self-service kiosks, which are
branded as Vcom terminals. Additionally, we are processing transactions for 675 ATMs owned by a
third party who has engaged us to serve as the processor for a portion of its ATM portfolio.
During 2007, we incurred $2.4 million in costs associated with our efforts to transition our
current network of ATMs over to our in-house EFT processing platform, and we incurred $0.2 million
during the first quarter of 2008. We currently expect to spend an additional $0.8 million this
year to complete this conversion.
Recent Events
7-Eleven ATM Transaction. In July 2007, the Company acquired the financial services business
of 7-Eleven, Inc. (the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business) for approximately $137.3 million in
cash. The acquisition (the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction) included approximately 5,500 ATMs located in
7-Eleven, Inc. (7-Eleven) stores throughout the United States, of which approximately 2,000 are
Vcom machines that are capable of providing more sophisticated financial services, such as check
cashing, money transfer, remote deposit capture, and bill payment services (collectively, the Vcom
Services). Additionally, in connection with the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, we entered into a
placement agreement that provides us with, subject to certain conditions, a 10-year exclusive right
to operate all ATMs and Vcom units in 7-Eleven locations throughout the United States, including
any new stores opened or acquired by 7-Eleven.
23
The operating results of our United States segment now include the results of the traditional
ATM operations of the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business, including the traditional ATM
activities conducted on the Vcom units. Additionally, as a result of the different functionality
provided by the Vcom units, and the expected continued near-term operating losses associated with
providing the Vcom Services, such operations have been identified as a separate reporting segment.
Because of the significance of this acquisition, our operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 will not be comparable to our historical results for the three months ended March
31, 2007. In particular, our revenues and gross profits will be substantially higher, but these
increased revenue and gross profit amounts will initially be substantially offset by higher
operating expense amounts, including higher selling, general, and administrative expenses
associated with running the combined operations. In addition, depreciation, accretion, and
amortization expense amounts are significantly higher as a result of the tangible and intangible
assets recorded as part of the acquisition.
Merchant-owned Account Attrition. In 2006 and 2007, we experienced significant attrition
rates among our smaller merchant-owned customers in the United States. While part of the attrition
was due to our initiative to identify and either restructure or eliminate certain underperforming
merchant-owned accounts, an additional driver of this attrition was local and regional independent
ATM service organizations that were 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 launched a second initiative to identify and
retain those merchant-owned accounts where we believed it made economic sense to do so. Our
retention efforts have been successful, as evident in the fact that the attrition of approximately
750 ATMs in 2007 was significantly lower than the attrition of over 1,900 experienced in 2006.
In the first quarter of 2008, our U.S. merchant-owned portfolio declined by over 550 machines,
over 90% of which was the result of the EFT networks mandate that all ATMs be compliant with a
relatively new data encryption standard (Triple-DES). Rather than incurring the costs to update
or replace their existing machines to be Triple-DES compliant, merchants with lower transacting
ATMs decided to dispose of their ATMs. Specifically, the machines lost during the first quarter of
2008 due to Triple-DES were performing, on average, less than 120 cash withdrawal transactions per
month during 2007, which is significantly lower than the approximately 285 cash withdrawal
transactions per month that our U.S. merchant-owned ATMs averaged as a whole during the same
period. Excluding the impact of Triple-DES, attrition levels significantly declined during the
first quarter. Despite this decline, we still cannot predict whether we will continue to see
reduced attrition rates in the future and whether our retention efforts will be continue to be
successful. Furthermore, because of our efforts to eliminate certain underperforming accounts, we
may continue to experience a downward trend in our merchant-owned account base in the future.

United States. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our United States
operations experienced a $37.0 million, or 63.5%, increase in ATM operating revenues over the same
period in 2007. The majority of this increase was attributable to the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, as
the acquired 7-Eleven Financial Services Business generated $19.3 million of surcharge revenue,
$12.7 million of interchange revenue, and $4.1 million of branding and surcharge-free network
revenue during the first quarter of 2008. Also contributing to the increase in ATM operating
revenues were the branding activities of our pre-existing domestic operations, which generated
$3.8 million in incremental bank branding and surcharge-free network fees in 2008 when compared to
2007. These incremental revenues were a result of additional branding and surcharge-free network
agreements entered into with financial institutions during 2007.
The overall increase in ATM operating revenues from the acquired 7-Eleven Financial Services
Business and our pre-existing domestic branding and surcharge-free network operations were
partially offset by lower surcharge and interchange revenues associated with our pre-existing
domestic operations. During the first quarter of 2008, our merchant-owned base experienced a $2.8
million decline in surcharge revenues and a $0.6 million decline in interchange revenue when
compared to the same period in 2007. These declines were primarily a result of the decline in the
average number of transacting merchant-owned ATMs in the United States, as discussed in Recent
Events Merchant-owned Account Attrition above. Additionally, surcharge revenues from our
Company-owned base declined by $0.6 million during 2007, primarily as a result of a shift in
revenues from surcharge-based fees to surcharge-free branding and network fees due to the
additional branding and surcharge-free network arrangements entered into with financial
institutions during 2007.
United Kingdom. Our United Kingdom operations also contributed to the higher ATM
operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as the surcharge and interchange
revenues earned in this segment during 2008 increased by 21.2% and 100.6%, respectively, over the
same period in 2007. These incremental revenues were primarily driven by the increase in the
average number of transacting ATMs in the United Kingdom, which increased from 1,419 ATMs during
the first quarter of 2007 to 2,252 ATMs during the first quarter of 2008, due to additional ATM
deployments. However, the increase in revenues was lower than originally anticipated due to lower
than expected surcharge transaction levels during the first quarter of 2008. The primary factor
contributing to this decline was certain service-related issues associated with one of our
third-party armored cash providers. As a result of certain issues stemming from the
merger-integration of two of our third-party armored cash providers in late 2007, our ATMs in the
United Kingdom experienced a higher percentage of downtime due to cash outages during the fourth
quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008. Although we have recently seen a decline in the
number of resulting cash outages and expect that the service-related issues will be resolved during
the latter half of 2008, it is likely that such issues will continue to somewhat negatively impact
the operating results of our United Kingdom operations in the near term. Additionally, it should
be noted that we have taken a number of steps to help mitigate the negative impact of these
third-party service issues on our ongoing operations. In particular, we are in the process of
establishing our own in-house armored courier operation, which we expect will formally commence
operations in the third quarter of 2008. Such operation will initially service the cash needs of
approximately 300 of our ATMs located throughout the London metropolitan area. While this
operation is not expected to provide significant initial cost savings, we do anticipate that it
will alleviate some of the aforementioned third-party armored cash service-related issues.
Despite the above factors that are negatively impacting transaction levels of our United
Kingdom ATMs, overall transaction-based revenues have increased as transaction levels at
recently-deployed ATMs continue to mature and reach consistent monthly transaction levels.
Mexico. Our Mexico operations further contributed to the increase in ATM operating
revenues as a result of the increase in the average number of transacting ATMs associated with
these operations, which rose from 424 during the first quarter of 2007 to 1,422 during the first
quarter of 2008 as a result of additional ATM deployments throughout 2007 and in the first quarter
of 2008.
Vcom operating revenues. We acquired our advanced-functionality (or Vcom) operations as a part
of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction in July 2007. The Vcom operating revenues generated during the
first quarter of 2008 were primarily comprised of check cashing fees. Although the revenues
generated by our Vcom operations during the most recent quarter were nominal, we expect that
revenues from these operations will increase in the future as we continue our efforts to
restructure these operations. We have undertaken a relocation project to concentrate our Vcom units
in 13 selected markets within the U.S. Such concentrations, which we expect to be completed in the
third quarter of 2008, will allow us to advertise the availability of the advanced-functionality
services to consumers
27
within those markets to increase awareness, which we expect will result in an increased number
of advanced-functionality transactions being conducted on those machines.
ATM product sales and other revenues. ATM product sales and other revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 were higher than those generated during the same period in 2007 due to
higher value-added reseller (VAR) program sales, higher equipment sales, and higher service call
income resulting from Triple-DES security upgrades performed in the United States.

United States. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the cost of ATM
operating revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization) incurred by our United
States operations increased $25.3 million over the cost incurred during the same period in 2007.
This increase was primarily the result of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, as the ATM operations of
the acquired 7-Eleven Financial Services Business incurred $25.7 million of expenses during the
first quarter of 2008, including $12.8 million of merchant fees, $6.8 million in costs of cash,
$3.0 million of repairs and maintenance costs, $1.1 million in communication costs, and
$1.1 million of processing fees. The $25.7 million of incremental expenses generated by the ATM
operations of the acquired 7-Eleven Financial Services Business is net of $2.0 million of
amortization expense related to the liabilities we recorded in connection with the acquisition to
value certain unfavorable operating leases and an operating contract assumed as a part of the
7-Eleven ATM Transaction. For additional details related to these liabilities, see Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements.
Our pre-existing United States operations also contributed to the higher cost of ATM operating
revenues (exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization), including (i) $1.5 million of
additional employee-related costs directly allocable to our pre-existing domestic operations as a
result of our decision to hire additional personnel during 2007 to focus on our initiatives, and
(ii) $0.8 million of higher costs of cash due to higher armored courier costs as a result of the
increase in the number of Company-owned machines. Offsetting these increases in costs were lower
merchant fees associated with our pre-existing domestic operations, which decreased $2.5 million
when compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to the year-over-year decline in the number
of domestic merchant-owned ATMs (further discussed in Recent Events Merchant-owned Account
Attrition above) and the related surcharge revenues.
28
United Kingdom. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our United Kingdom
operations contributed to the increase in the cost of ATM operating revenues with such costs
increasing $5.3 million over the same period in 2007. These increases were primarily due to higher
costs of cash and merchant payments, which resulted from the increased number of ATMs operating in
the United Kingdom during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
Additionally, due to the aforementioned third-party armored cash service-related issues, we
maintained higher cash balances in our ATMs within the United Kingdom during the first quarter of
2008 in an effort to minimize the amount of downtime caused by such service disruptions, thus
contributing to the overall year-over-year increase in our cost of cash amounts.
Mexico. Our Mexico operations further contributed to the increase in the cost of ATM
operating revenues as a result of the increase in the average number of transacting ATMs associated
with our Mexico operations and the increased number of transactions conducted on our machines
during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Cost of Vcom operating revenues. The cost of Vcom operating revenues incurred during the first
quarter of 2008 was primarily related to costs of cash as well as communication and maintenance
expense related to the Vcom Services provided by our advanced-functionality operations.
Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. The cost of ATM product sales and other revenues
increased by $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period
in 2007. On a percentage basis, this 48.9% increase is consistent with the 49.5% increase in ATM
product sales and other revenues during the period. As noted in RevenuesATM product sales and
other revenues above, we had higher VAR program sales, higher equipment sales, and higher service
call income resulting from Triple-DES security upgrades performed in the United States during the
first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

ATM operating gross profit margin. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, ATM operating
gross profit margin exclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization increased 0.9% and ATM
operating gross profit margin inclusive of depreciation, accretion, and amortization increased 2.0%
when compared to the same period in 2007. Such increases were primarily the result of the 7-Eleven
ATM Transaction, as the acquired ATM operations earned higher gross margin percentages than our
pre-existing operations during the quarter. Partially offsetting the positive impact of the
7-Eleven ATM Transaction were our United Kingdom operations, which experienced lower gross margins
due to the significant number of ATM deployments that occurred in our United Kingdom operations
during the latter half of 2007, as many of those ATMs are still in the process of achieving
consistent recurring monthly transaction levels. Furthermore, our gross profit margin continued to
be negatively impacted by a higher percentage of downtime experienced by our ATMs in the United
Kingdom as a result of the previously discussed third-party armored cash service-related issues.
While we expect such service-related issues to be resolved during the latter half of 2008, it is
likely that such issues will continue to negatively impact the operating results of our United
Kingdom operations in the near-term.
ATM product sales and other revenues gross profit margin. For the three months ended
March 31, 2008, our ATM product sales and other revenues gross profit margin increased by 0.4%,
primarily as a result of the substantial completion of our Triple-DES upgrade efforts. Because all
ATMs operating on the EFT networks were required to be Triple-DES compliant by the end of 2007 and
early 2008, we saw an increase during 2007 in the number of ATM sales associated with the
Triple-DES upgrade process. However, in certain circumstances, we sold the machines at little or,
in some cases, negative margins in exchange for renewals of the underlying ATM operating
agreements. As a result, gross margins associated with our ATM product sales and other activities
were negatively impacted during
29
2007 and the early part of 2008. However, we expect such margins to improve slightly during
the remainder of 2008 now that the Triple-DES compliance upgrade process has been completed.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A expenses), excluding stock-based
compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, SG&A expenses, excluding stock-based
compensation, increased $2.1 million over the same period in 2007. This increase was attributable
to our United States operations, which experienced an increase of $2.2 million, or 44.2%, in the
first quarter of 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007, including a $1.2 million increase
in employee-related costs, primarily on the sales and marketing side of our business and the
employees assumed in connection with the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, and a $0.4 million increase in
professional fees, primarily as a result of our ongoing compliance efforts with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002.
While our SG&A expenses are expected to continue to increase on an absolute basis as a result
of our future growth initiatives, we expect that such costs will remain relatively consistent, as a
percentage of total revenues, with the levels seen during the first quarter of 2008.

Depreciation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, depreciation expense
increased by $2.5 million over the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable
to the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, which resulted in an additional $1.6 million of depreciation
related to the acquired ATMs, Vcom units, and other assets. Included within the $1.6 million is the
amortization of assets associated with the capital leases assumed in the acquisition. Also
contributing to the year-over-year increase was our United Kingdom and Mexico operations, which
recognized additional depreciation of $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, during the first
quarter of 2008 due to the deployment of additional ATMs under Company-owned arrangements.
Partially offsetting these increases was lower depreciation related to the ATMs associated with our
pre-existing domestic operations, as we recognized $1.6 million in accelerated depreciation expense
during the first quarter of 2007 related to certain ATMs that were to be deinstalled early as a
result of contract terminations and our Triple-DES security compliance efforts.
Accretion expense. We account for our asset retirement obligations in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations, which requires that we estimate the fair value of future retirement obligations
associated with our ATMs, including the anticipated costs to deinstall, and in some cases
refurbish, certain merchant locations. Accretion expense represents the increase of this liability
from the original discounted net present value to the amount we ultimately expect to incur.
Accretion
30
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased over the same period in 2007 due
to the increase in the number of machines deployed under Company-owned arrangements.
In the future, we expect that our depreciation and accretion expense will continue to grow in
proportion to the increase in the number of ATMs we own and deploy throughout our Company-owned
portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, amortization expense, which is primarily comprised
of amortization of intangible merchant and branding contracts/relationships associated with our
past acquisitions, increased by 81.1% when compared to the same period in 2007. This increase in
amortization was the result of our acquisition of the 7-Eleven Financial Services Business, which
resulted in an additional $2.0 million in incremental amortization expense during the period
associated with the intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, excluding the amortization of deferred financing
costs and bond discounts, increased by $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008
when compared to the same period in 2007. The majority of the increase was due to our issuance of
$100.0 million in Series B Notes in July 2007 to partially finance the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction.
This issuance resulted in $2.3 million of additional interest expense during the first quarter of
2008, excluding the amortization of the related discount and deferred financing costs. Partially
offsetting the incremental interest associated with our Series B Notes were lower average
outstanding balances under our revolving credit facility for the first quarter of 2008 compared to
the first quarter of 2007. Also contributing to the year-over-year decrease in interest expense
was the overall decrease in the level of floating interest rates under our revolving credit
facility.
Amortization of deferred financing costs and bond discounts. The increase in the amortization
of deferred financing costs and bond discounts during the first quarter of 2008 was a result of the
additional financing costs incurred in connection with the Series B Notes and amendments made to
our revolving credit facility in May 2007 to modify the interest rate spreads on outstanding
borrowings and other pricing terms and in July 2007 as part of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction.

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily comprised of losses on
the disposal of fixed assets that were incurred in conjunction with the deinstallation of ATMs
during the period. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the $0.2 million of other
income was primarily attributable to the sale of the equity securities awarded to the Company in
2006 pursuant to the bankruptcy plan of reorganization for Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., one of the
Companys merchant customers, which resulted in total gains of $0.6 million, and minority interest
income, which represents the portion of Cardtronics Mexicos losses allocable to the minority
interest shareholders. This income was partially offset by $0.5 million in losses on the disposal
of fixed assets during the period. The $0.2 million in other expense for the period ended March
31, 2006, was primarily attributable to losses on the disposal of fixed assets.

Our income tax expense increased by $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008
when compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily driven by the establishment of
valuation allowances of $1.2 million, net of amounts provided for current year benefits, associated
with various domestic deferred tax assets due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to utilize
the related tax benefits in future periods. Additionally, we do not expect to record any additional
domestic federal or state income tax benefits in our financial statements until it is more likely
than not that such benefits will be utilized. Finally, due to the exclusion of certain deferred tax
liability amounts from our ongoing analysis of our domestic net deferred tax asset position, we
will likely continue to record additional valuation allowances for our domestic operations
throughout the remainder of the year. Accordingly, our overall effective tax rate will continue to
be negative until we begin to report positive pre-tax book income on a consolidated basis.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the lower effective tax rate was due to the
relative mix of pre-tax income and loss amounts in the our foreign and domestic jurisdictions and
the fact that we were not (and continue to not) recognize any tax benefits associated with our
Mexico operations. Furthermore, we were in a taxable income position with respect to our domestic
state income taxes but in a taxable loss position with respect to our domestic federal income
taxes, which further contributed to the lower overall effective tax rate for the three months ended
March 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $8.9 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand
and approximately $345.9 million in outstanding long-term debt and capital lease obligations.
Prior to December 2007, we had 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. However, in December 2007, we completed our initial public offering of
12,000,000 shares of our common stock. Furthermore, 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
32
daily basis but pay our vendors on 30 day terms and are not required to pay certain of our
merchants until 20 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 small cash balance on our books.
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.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $10.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.6 million during the same
period in 2007. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of changes in
our working capital balances. Specifically, we paid approximately $8.9 million more of accounts
payables and accrued liabilities during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of
2007, including approximately $5.3 million in additional cash interest in 2008 related to our
Series B Notes, which were issued in July 2007. Additionally, we collected approximately $5.0
million less in accounts and notes receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $26.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008, compared to $9.3 million for the same period in 2007. The year-over-year increase was
driven by incremental ATM purchases, primarily in our United States and United Kingdom segments.
Additionally, during 2007, we received $4.0 million in proceeds from the sale of our Winn-Dixie
equity securities during 2007 and $0.9 million of proceeds out of an escrow account associated with
a previous acquisition, which served to offset our capital expenditures.
Anticipated Future Capital Expenditures. We currently anticipate that the majority of our
capital expenditures for the foreseeable future will be driven by organic growth projects,
including the purchasing of ATMs for existing as well as new ATM management agreements, as opposed
to acquisitions. However, we will continue to pursue selected acquisition opportunities that
complement our existing ATM network, some of which could be material, such as the 7-Eleven ATM
Transaction that we completed in July 2007. We believe that significant expansion opportunities
continue to exist in all of our current markets, as well as in other international markets, and we
will continue to pursue those opportunities as they arise. Such acquisition opportunities, either
individually or in the aggregate, could be material.
We currently expect that our capital expenditures for the remaining nine months of 2008 will
total approximately $24 million, net of minority interest, 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. To that end, we recently amended our revolving credit facility in March 2008 to
increase the amount of capital expenditures that we can incur on a rolling 12-month basis to
$90.0 million. This modification should provide us with the ability to incur the level of capital
expenditures that we currently deem necessary to support our ongoing operations and future growth
initiatives.
As a result of the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, we assumed responsibility for certain ATM
operating lease contracts that will expire at various times during the next three years, the
majority of which will expire in 2009. Accordingly, at that time, we will be required to renew such
lease contracts, enter into new lease contracts, or purchase new or used ATMs to replace the leased
equipment. If we decide to purchase new ATMs and terminate the existing lease contracts at that
time, we currently anticipate that we will incur between $13.0 and $16.0 million in related capital
expenditures. However, in the event we decide to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the
lease term rather than purchasing new ATMs, our expenditures would be substantially less than the
above estimated amounts. Additionally, we currently have $7.2 million in letters of credit posted
under our revolving credit facility in favor of the lessors under these leases. These letters of
credit will expire at the end of the lease terms. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial
statements for additional details on these letters of credit.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $31.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2007. The higher amount in 2008 was
primarily due to incremental borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the increase in
capital expenditures discussed in Investing Activities above. Although the amount outstanding
under our revolving credit facility may fluctuate over the course of the year, we currently expect
that the overall level of our senior debt, absent any acquisitions or unanticipated changes in our
working capital and capital expenditure levels, will trend downward over the remainder of the year.
Financing Facilities
As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $345.9 million in outstanding long-term debt and
capital lease obligations, which was comprised of (i) $296.2 million (net of discount of
$3.8 million) of our Series A and Series B senior subordinated notes, (ii) $39.5 million in
borrowings under our revolving credit facility, (iii) $8.5 million in notes payable outstanding
under equipment financing lines of our Mexico subsidiary, and (iv) $1.7 million in capital lease
obligations.
Revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a
variable rate based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or prime rate, at our option.
Additionally, we pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving
credit facility. Substantially all of our assets, including the stock of our wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings
made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of our domestic subsidiaries has
guaranteed our obligations under such facility. There are currently no restrictions on the ability
of our wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends directly to us.
In March 2008, we amended our facility such that we may incur up to $90 million in capital
expenditures on a rolling 12-month basis. As a result of this amendment, the primary restrictive
covenants within the facility include (i) limitations on the amount of senior debt that we 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, and (iv) limitations on the amount of capital
expenditures that we can incur on a rolling 12-month basis. Additionally, we are currently
prohibited from making any cash dividends pursuant to the terms of the facility.
As of March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants contained within the facility
and had the ability to borrow an additional $128.3 million under the facility based on such
covenants.
Other borrowing facilities
Bank Machine overdraft facility. In addition to the above revolving credit facility, Bank
Machine has a £2.0 million unsecured overdraft facility that expires in July 2008. This facility,
which bears interest at 1.75% over the banks base rate (currently 5.00%), is utilized for general
corporate purposes for our United Kingdom operations. As of March 31, 2008, approximately £1.0
million ($2.0 million) of this facility had been utilized to help fund certain working capital
commitments. Amounts outstanding under the overdraft facility are reflected in accounts payable in
our consolidated balance sheet, as such amounts are automatically repaid once cash deposits are
made to the underlying bank accounts.
Cardtronics Mexico equipment financing agreements. During 2006 and 2007, Cardtronics Mexico
entered into six separate five-year equipment financing agreements with a single lender. Such
agreements, which are denominated in Mexican pesos and bear interest at an average fixed rate of
10.96%, were utilized for the purchase of additional ATMs to support our Mexico operations. As of
March 31, 2008, $90.4 million pesos ($8.5 million U.S.) were outstanding under the agreements in
place at the time, with future borrowings to be individually negotiated between the lender and
Cardtronics. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, we have issued a guaranty for 51.0% of
the obligations under this agreement (consistent with our ownership percentage in Cardtronics
Mexico.) As of March 31, 2008, the total amount of the guaranty was $46.1 million pesos
($4.3 million U.S.).
34
Lease agreements. In connection with the 7-Eleven ATM Transaction, we assumed certain capital
and operating lease obligations for approximately 2,000 ATMs. We currently have $7.2 million in
letters of credit posted under our revolving credit facility in favor of the lessors under these
assumed equipment leases. These letters of credit reduce the available borrowing capacity under our
revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2008, the principal balance of our capital lease
obligations totaled $1.7 million.
New Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurement. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on measuring the fair
value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements. In summary, SFAS No. 157 does the
following:
|
1. |
|
Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value; |
|
|
2. |
|
Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement
date; |
|
|
3. |
|
Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets
and requires consideration of the Companys creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and |
|
|
4. |
|
Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. |
In addition, SFAS No. 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to
valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels
as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at
fair value. A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
We adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the
statement to non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. Non-recurring
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 include those measured at fair value for impairment testing, including goodwill, other
intangible assets, and property and equipment. As a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 157, we
recorded a $1.6 million reduction of the unrealized loss associated with our interest rate swaps,
which served to decrease our derivative liability and reduce our other comprehensive loss. Such
adjustment reflects the consideration of nonperformance risk by our Company for interest rate swaps
that were in a net liability position as of March 31, 2008, and the nonperformance risk of our
counterparties for interest rate swaps that were in a net asset position as of March 31, 2008, as
measured by the use of applicable credit default spreads. For additional information on our
adoption of this standard, see Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides allows companies the option to measure
certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. We have elected not to adopt the fair
value option provisions of this statement.
Issued But Not Yet Adopted
As of March 31, 2008, the following accounting standards and interpretations had not yet been
adopted by the Company:
Business Combinations. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations,
which provides revised guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. This standard
changes the current guidance to require that all acquired assets, liabilities, minority interest,
and certain contingencies, including contingent consideration, be measured at fair value, and
certain other acquisition-related costs, including costs of a plan to exit an activity or terminate
and relocate employees, be expensed rather than capitalized. SFAS No. 141R
35
will apply to acquisitions that are effective after December 31, 2008, and application of the
standard to acquisitions prior to that date is not permitted. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS
No. 141R on January 1, 2009 and apply the requirements of the statement to business combinations
that occur subsequent to its adoption.
Noncontrolling Interests. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51, which provides
guidance on the presentation of minority interest in the financial statements and the accounting
for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and the holders of such
noncontrolling interest. This standard requires that minority interest be presented as a separate
component of equity rather than as a mezzanine item between liabilities and equity and requires
that minority interest be presented as a separate caption in the income statement. In addition,
this standard requires all transactions with minority interest holders, including the issuance and
repurchase of minority interests, be accounted for as equity transactions unless a change in
control of the subsidiary occurs. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are to be applied prospectively
with the exception of reclassifying noncontrolling interests to equity and recasting consolidated
net income (loss) to include net income (loss) attributable to both the controlling and
noncontrolling interests, which are required to be adopted retrospectively. We will adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 and are currently assessing the impact its adoption
will have on our financial position and results of operations.
Disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging Activities. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.
161, Disclosures about Derivatives and Hedging Activities an amendment of SFAS No. 133, which
changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
standard requires a company to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the company uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
under Statement 133, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the
companys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We will adopt the provisions
of SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 and apply the disclosure requirements to disclosures made
subsequent to our adoption.
Useful Life of Intangible Assets. In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). The
intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under SFAS 141R (discussed above) and other applicable accounting literature. We
will adopt the provision of FSP FAS 142-3 on January 1, 2009 and are currently assessing the impact
our adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.
36
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Vault cash rental expense. Because our ATM cash rental expense is based on market rates of
interest, it is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States,
the United Kingdom, and Mexico. In the United States, we pay a monthly fee on the average amount of
vault cash outstanding under a formula based either on LIBOR or the federal funds effective rate,
depending on the vault cash provider. In the United Kingdom, we pay a monthly fee to ALCB in the
United Kingdom under a formula based on LIBOR. In Mexico, we pay a monthly fee to our vault cash
provider there under a formula based on the Mexican Interbank Rate.
As a result of the significant sensitivity surrounding the vault cash interest expense for our
U.S. operations, we have entered into a number of interest rate swaps to fix the rate of interest
we pay on a portion of our current and anticipated outstanding domestic vault cash balances. The
swaps in place as of March 31, 2008 serve to fix the interest rate paid on the following notional
amounts for the periods identified:

As of March 31, 2008, we had a liability of $27.1 million recorded in our balance sheet
related to our interest rate swaps, which represented the fair value liability of such agreements
based on third-party quotes for similar instruments with the same terms and conditions, as such
instruments are required to be carried at fair value. These 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 consolidated balance sheets. As a result of
our overall net loss position for tax purposes, we have not recorded any deferred taxes on the loss
amount related to these interest rate hedges, as we do not currently believe that we will be able
to realize such benefits.
Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to our cost of ATM
operating revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the gains or losses as a result of ineffectiveness
associated with our existing interest rate swaps were immaterial.
We have not currently entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge our variable
interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico.
37
Interest expense. Our interest expense is also sensitive to changes in the general level of
interest rates in the United States, as our borrowings under our domestic revolving credit facility
accrue interest at floating rates. Based on the $39.5 million outstanding under the facility as of
March 31, 2008, for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an additional
$0.4 million of interest expense on an annualized basis.
Outlook. We anticipate that the recent reductions in short-term interest rates in the United
States will serve to reduce the interest expense we incur 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, and 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 in 2006, 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 (loss) in our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2008, such
translation gain totaled approximately $7.7 million compared to approximately $9.1 million as of
December 31, 2007.
Although changes in foreign currency rates did not materially impact our results of operations
during the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating results were materially impacted by
increases in the value of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar during 2007. 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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 would have been an
unfavorable or favorable adjustment, respectively, of approximately $0.1 million. A similar
sensitivity analysis would have resulted in a negligible adjustment to Cardtronics Mexicos
financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008. 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.
We do not hold derivative commodity instruments and all of our cash and cash equivalents are
held in money market and checking funds.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Managements Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management
performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material
weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
In light of the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2007, we performed additional analyses and
other procedures that were designed to provide our management with reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of (1) our financial reporting and (2) the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008, in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Based on these
additional procedures, our management has determined that the consolidated financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management is committed to achieving effective internal control over financial reporting. Our
remediation efforts are described in Item 9A(T) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007. While these efforts continue, we will rely on additional substantive
procedures and other measures as needed to assist us with meeting the objectives otherwise
fulfilled by an effective control environment.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most
recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of our merchant customers, filed a complaint in
the New York State Supreme Court alleging that we had breached an ATM operating agreement with the
Customer by failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of fees under the agreement. 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. As the term of our operating agreement with the
Customer extends to December 2014, the Customers claims could exceed $12.0 million. In response to
a motion for summary judgment filed by the Customer and a cross-motion filed by us, the New York
State Supreme Court ruled in September 2007 that our interpretation of the ATM operating agreement
was the appropriate interpretation and expressly rejected the Customers proposed interpretations.
The Customer has appealed this ruling. Notwithstanding that appeal, we believe that the ultimate
resolution of this dispute will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or
results of operations.
We are also subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of
its business. We have provided reserves where necessary for all claims and management does not
expect the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a result of our decision to create an in-house armored transport operation within the
United Kingdom, we are now exposed to a number of additional risks, as outlined below. Such risks
should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The risks described in this
report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also
may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
The armored transport business exposes us to additional risks beyond those currently
experienced by us in the ownership and operation of ATMs.
The armored transport business exposes us to significant risks, including the potential for
cash-in-transit losses, as well as claims for personal injury, wrongful death, workers
compensation, punitive damages, and general liability. While we will seek to maintain appropriate
levels of insurance to adequately protect the Company from such risks, there can be no assurance
that we will avoid significant future claims or adverse publicity related thereto. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover potential
liabilities or that such insurance coverage will remain available at costs that are acceptable to
us. The availability of quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important factor in our
ability to successfully operate this aspect of our operations. A successful claim brought against
us for which coverage is denied or which is in excess of our insurance coverage could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If not done properly, the transitioning of armored transport services from third-party service
providers to our own internal operations could lead to service interruptions, which would harm our
business and our relationships with our merchants.
We have no prior experience in providing armored transport services to the ATM industry.
Accordingly, we have hired, and will continue to hire, additional personnel with experience in
running such an operation, including personnel with the requisite industry and security-related
experience. Because this is a new business for us, there is an increased risk that our transition
efforts will not be successful, thus resulting in service interruptions for our merchants.
Furthermore, if not performed properly, the provisioning of armored transport services to our ATMs
could result in such ATMs either running out of cash, thereby resulting in lost transactions and
revenues, or having excess cash, thereby unnecessarily increasing our operating costs.
Furthermore, if such issues were to occur, it could damage our relationships with the affected
merchants, thus negatively impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
