EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL

Organization

Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Euronet”) is an industry leader in processing secure electronic financial transactions. Euronet’s Prepaid Processing Segment is one of the world’s largest providers of “top-up” services for prepaid products, primarily prepaid mobile airtime. The EFT Processing Segment provides end-to-end solutions relating to operations of automated teller machine (“ATM”) and Point of Sale (“POS”) networks, and debit and credit card processing in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The Money Transfer Segment, comprised primarily of the Company’s RIA Envia, Inc. (“RIA”) subsidiary and its operating subsidiaries, is the third-largest global money transfer company based upon revenues and volumes and provides services through a sending network of agents and Company-owned stores in the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe and Asia Pacific, disbursing money transfers through a worldwide payer network.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2007, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Goodwill and acquired intangible translation adjustment

During the third quarter 2007, the Company corrected an immaterial error related to foreign currency translation adjustments for goodwill and acquired intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions completed during periods prior to December 31, 2006. The impact of this correction on the Company’s Unaudited Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was to increase depreciation and amortization expense by $0.2 million, decrease operating income by $0.2 million and reduce net income by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and to increase depreciation and amortization expense by $0.3 million, decrease operating income by $0.3 million and reduce net income by $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Due primarily to the impact of the correction on the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustment, total comprehensive income increased by $3.0 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This correction did not impact the Company’s cash flows from operating, financing or investing activities.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. Additionally, FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company will adopt the provisions for those nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to these items to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for the required fair value disclosures.

Investment in MoneyGram International, Inc.

The Company’s investment in MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram”) was classified as available-for-sale as of December 31, 2007 and was recorded in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first quarter 2008, the Company decided not to pursue the acquisition of MoneyGram. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the value of the Company’s investment in MoneyGram declined and the Company determined the decline to be other than temporary. Accordingly, the Company recognized impairment losses associated with the investment of $1.3 million in the second quarter 2008 and $18.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and reversed the $0.6 million gain recorded during 2007 in other comprehensive income. Because of the Company’s decision not to submit a proposal to acquire MoneyGram, the investment was reclassified to other current assets on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2008. During the first quarter 2008, the Company also recorded acquisition related expenses totaling $3.0 million, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Money transfer settlement obligations

Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of amounts owed by Euronet to money transfer recipients. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s money transfer settlement obligations were $47.9 million.

Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS No. 133”), which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. During 2007, the Company entered into derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate risk that are considered cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS No. 133. To qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, the details for the hedging relationship must be formally documented at the inception of the arrangement, including the Company’s hedging strategy, risk management objective, the specific risk being hedged, the derivative instrument being used, the item being hedged, an assessment of hedge effectiveness and how effectiveness will continue to be assessed and measured. For the effective portion of a cash flow hedge, changes in the value of the hedge instrument are recorded temporarily in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income and then recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the hedging instrument.

In the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected or paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These forward contracts are considered derivative instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 133; however, the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The impact of changes in value of these forward contracts, together with the impact of the change in value of the related foreign currency denominated receivable or payable, on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is not significant.

Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-worthy financial institutions and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of derivative instruments.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP APB 14-1 requires the proceeds from the issuance of such convertible debt instruments to be allocated between debt and equity components so that debt is discounted to reflect the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The debt discount is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The change in accounting treatment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and applies retrospectively to prior periods. FSP APB 14-1 will impact the accounting associated with the Company’s $140 million convertible senior debentures and its $175 million convertible debentures. The new accounting treatment will require Euronet to retrospectively record a significant amount of non-cash interest as the discount on the debt is amortized. The Company is in the process of quantifying the effect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early

application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161; however, the impact is not expected to be material.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP FAS 142-3 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.” This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have on its consolidated financial statements; however, the impact is not expected to be material.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures, shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations, restricted stock and options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to earnings available to common stockholders and the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollar amounts in thousands)		2008				2007				2008				2007
Reconciliation of net income to earnings available to earnings available to common stockholders:
Net income		$	7,787			$	8,496			$	951			$	17,957
Add: interest expense of 1.625% convertible debentures, if dilutive (net of income taxes of $321 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2007)			481				—				—				1,534
Earnings available to common stockholders		$	8,268			$	8,496			$	951			$	19,491
Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding			48,916,432				47,638,963				48,862,196				42,379,086
Additional shares from assumed conversion of 1.625% convertible debentures			4,163,488				—				—				4,163,488
Weighted average shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations			1,086,716				673,636				1,086,716				338,679
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options and restricted stock			572,266				1,046,627				741,554				1,048,501
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding			54,738,902				49,359,226				50,690,466				47,929,754

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 of approximately 1,632,000 and 1,418,000, respectively. For both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes approximately 533,000 stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company has $140 million of 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024 and $175 million of 3.50% convertible debentures due 2025 outstanding that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. These debentures are convertible into 4.2 million shares of Common Stock for the $140 million 1.625% issue, and 4.3 million shares of Common Stock for the $175 million 3.50% issue, only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. As required by EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share,” if dilutive, the impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the debentures would be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock have been met. Under the if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 1.625% convertible debentures was dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 and anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008. Under the if-converted method, the assumed

conversion of the 3.50% convertible debentures was anti-dilutive for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the second quarter 2008, the Company committed to a plan to sell Euronet Essentis Limited (“Essentis”), a U.K. software entity, in order to narrow the focus of its investments and resources on its transaction processing businesses. The Company is in the process of locating a buyer and expects to complete a sale within one year. Accordingly, Essentis’s results of operations are shown as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Previously, Essentis’s results were reported in the EFT Processing Segment. The segment results in Note 9, Segment Information, also reflect the reclassification of Essentis to discontinued operations. The following amounts related to Essentis have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations:

In July 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the non-current assets and related capital lease obligations of its ATM processing business in France to Atos S.A. During the first quarter 2007, the Company received a binding French Supreme Court decision relating to a lawsuit in France that resulted in a cash recovery and gain to the Company of $0.3 million, net of legal costs. There were no assets or liabilities held for sale at June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

(5) GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

A summary of acquired intangible assets and goodwill activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 is presented below:

		Acquired								Total
		Intangible								Intangible
(in thousands)		Assets				Goodwill				Assets
Balance as of December 31, 2007		$	155,137			$	762,723			$	917,860
Increases (decreases):
Amortization			(12,587	)			—				(12,587	)
Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates)			6,827				34,929				41,756
Balance as of June 30, 2008		$	149,377			$	797,652			$	947,029

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of June 30, 2008, is expected to total $25.2 million for 2008, $25.1 million for 2009, $24.7 million for 2010, $20.1 million for 2011, $17.5 million for 2012 and $12.4 million for 2013.

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter. The Company’s annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2007 indicated that there were no impairments. Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change, which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

(6) DEBT OBLIGATIONS

A summary of debt obligation activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 is presented below:

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company repaid $15.0 million of the term loan, of which $1.0 million were scheduled repayments. The remaining $14.0 million represents prepayment of amounts not yet due and resulted in the Company recognizing a $0.2 million pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt.

During April 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to its secured syndicated credit facility to, among other items, (i) change the definition of one of the financial covenants in the original agreement to exclude the effect of certain one-time expenses and (ii) allow for the repurchase of up to $70 million of the $140 million in Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 that are currently outstanding. Euronet incurred costs of $0.6 million in connection with the amendment, which will be recognized as additional interest expense over the remaining 48 month term of the credit facility.

(7) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

During 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term loan, which currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The interest rate swap agreements are determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively convert $50 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded a liability of $1.0 million in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet to recognize the fair value of the swap agreements. The impact to accumulated

other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was a loss of less than $0.1 million. The fair value of swap agreements is based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap rate, credit spreads and other relevant market conditions.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $48.9 million, primarily in euros, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average maturity of 4.6 days.

(8) STOCK PLANS

During the first half of 2008, the Company granted a total of 186,253 shares of restricted stock and accelerated vesting for 4,800 shares of restricted stock. Of the shares granted, 147,402 were performance-based shares awarded to executives having a fair value of $2.9 million on the grant date, which vest during the years 2009 through 2013 upon the attainment of certain financial performance goals, combined with continuing employment on the vesting date; 21,000 shares were annual grants to directors having a fair value of $0.4 million which vested immediately; and 17,851 shares were granted and 4,800 shares accelerated having a total fair value of $0.5 million in connection with severance benefits due to an executive officer of the Company who resigned during the first half of 2008.

The Company values available for sale investment securities using quoted prices from the securities’ primary exchange. Interest rate swaps are valued using present value measurements based on the LIBOR swap rate, credit spreads and other relevant market conditions. Foreign currency derivative contracts are valued using foreign currency quotes for similar assets and liabilities.

(11) NONCASH FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Capital lease obligations of $0.8 million and $2.5 million were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company issued Euronet Common Stock valued at $116.5 million and contingent value rights and stock appreciation rights valued at a total of $32.1 million for acquisitions completed during the first half of 2007.

(12) CONTINGENCIES

On January 12, 2007, the Company signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire La Nacional and certain of its affiliates (“La Nacional”), subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In connection with this agreement, on January 16, 2007, the Company deposited $26 million in an escrow account created for the proposed acquisition. The escrowed funds were not permitted to be released except upon mutual agreement of the Company and La Nacional’s stockholder or through legal remedies available in the agreement.

On April 5, 2007, the Company gave notice to the stockholder of La Nacional of the termination of the stock purchase agreement, alleging certain breaches of the terms thereof by La Nacional and requested the release of the $26 million held in escrow under the terms of the agreement. La Nacional’s stockholder denied such breaches occurred, contested such termination and did not consent to the Company’s request for release of the escrowed funds. While pursuing all legal remedies available, the Company engaged in negotiations with La Nacional and its stockholder to determine whether the dispute could be resolved through revised terms for the acquisition or some other mutually agreeable method.

On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with La Nacional and its stockholder evidencing the parties’ mutual agreement not to consummate the acquisition of La Nacional, in exchange for payment by Euronet of a portion of the legal fees incurred by La Nacional. Among other terms and conditions, the settlement agreement contained mutual releases in connection with litigation and provided for the release to the Company in the first quarter 2008 of the $26 million held in escrow, plus interest earned on the escrowed funds.

(13) FEDERAL EXCISE TAX REFUND

During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) announced that Internal Revenue Code Section 4251 (relating to communications excise tax) will no longer apply to, among other services, prepaid mobile airtime services such as those offered by the Company’s Prepaid Processing Segment’s U.S. operations. Companies that paid this excise tax during the period beginning on March 1, 2003 and ending on July 31, 2006, are entitled to a credit or refund of amounts paid in conjunction with the filing of 2006 federal income tax returns. During the fourth quarter 2007, the IRS completed an initial field examination confirming the amount of the claim and, therefore, the Company recorded $12.2 million for the amount of the refund claimed as a reduction to operating expenses of the Prepaid Processing Segment and as an other current asset. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $1.2 million of interest income in the first quarter 2008 on the amount claimed. The Company received the refund and interest in the second quarter 2008.

(14) GUARANTEES

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $26.0 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $1.8 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks.

Euronet regularly grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2008, the Company granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $25.2 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $27.2 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers.

From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following:

	•		In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damages to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2008, the balance of ATM network cash for which the Company was responsible was approximately $350 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;
	•		In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications;
	•		Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with vendors and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third-party claims arising from the Company’s use of the vendor’s product or the services of the vendor or consultant;
	•		In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer’s reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made;
	•		Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company’s benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third party claims relating to the carrying out of their respective duties under such agreements; and
	•		The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities and has agreed to reimburse the surety for any amounts that they are required to pay in connection with such bonds.

The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of June 30, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

(15) INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations, after consideration of minority interest, was 26.0% and 36.4% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was 86.3% and 33.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Net income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 reflects unrealized capital losses of $1.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively, recorded in connection with the Company’s investment in MoneyGram. Associated tax benefits were not recorded for the losses because of the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s future ability to have offsetting capital gains. Excluding the impact of these unrealized capital losses, the Company’s effective tax rate was 23.4% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 and 40.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

In addition to the tax treatment of the capital losses, the year-over-year fluctuations in the tax rates for the three- and six-month periods primarily relate to differences in accounting for income taxes at the Company’s U.S. operations. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and, therefore, the tax effect of operating income or expense, interest income on loans to its foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency gains recognized by the Company’s U.S. group were recorded as an adjustment to the valuation allowance rather than tax expense. Due to the recognition of significant foreign currency gains, and a $12.2 million federal excise tax refund recorded during the fourth quarter 2007, the Company’s valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets was fully utilized. Consequently, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company fully provided for the tax effect of income and expense generated by its U.S. operations.

The significant increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 is largely attributable to the recognition of deferred tax expense on foreign currency gains recognized by the Company’s U.S. operations during 2008. Additionally, certain foreign currency losses recognized for financial reporting purposes have been treated as permanent differences and, therefore, a tax benefit has not been recorded.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 is attributable to the recognition of tax benefits resulting from the successful resolution of tax audits and tax impact of the reduced foreign currency gains for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The Company’s tax returns in Poland have been effectively settled for years prior to 2004. Based upon the closing of these tax years, the Company reduced its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW

Euronet earns revenues and income based on ATM management fees, transaction fees and commissions, professional services, software licensing fees and software maintenance agreements. Each business segment’s sources of revenue are described below.

EFT Processing Segment — Revenue in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 20% of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2008, is derived from fees charged for transactions effected by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, as well as fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to banks for operating ATMs and processing credit cards under outsourcing agreements. Through our proprietary network, we generally charge fees for four types of ATM transactions: i) cash withdrawals, ii) balance inquiries, iii) transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer did not give authorization, and iv) prepaid telecommunication recharges. Revenue in this segment is also derived from license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for software and sales of related hardware. Software license fees are the fees we charge to license our proprietary application software to customers. Professional service fees consist of charges for customization, installation and consulting services to customers. Software maintenance revenue represents the ongoing fees charged for maintenance and support for customers’ software products. Hardware sales are derived from the sale of computer equipment necessary for the respective software solution.

Prepaid Processing Segment — Revenue in the Prepaid Processing Segment, which represented approximately 58% of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2008, is primarily derived from commissions or processing fees received from telecommunications service providers for the sale and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime. We also generate revenue from commissions earned from the distribution of other prepaid products. Due to certain provisions in our mobile phone operator agreements, the operators have the ability to reduce the overall commission paid on each top-up transaction. However, by virtue of our agreements with retailers (distributors where POS terminals are located) in certain markets, not all of these reductions are absorbed by us because we are able to pass a significant portion of the reductions to retailers. Accordingly, under certain retailer agreements, the effect is to reduce revenues and reduce our direct operating costs resulting in only a small impact on gross margin and operating income. In some markets, reductions in commissions can significantly impact our results as it may not be possible, either contractually or commercially in the concerned market, to pass a reduction in commissions to the retailers. In Australia, certain retailers negotiate directly with the mobile phone operators for their own commission rates, which also limits our ability to pass through reductions in commissions. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the success of our business. These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the mobile operators’

customers. Other products offered by this segment include prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid internet plans, prepaid debit cards, prepaid gift cards and prepaid mobile content such as ring tones and games.

Money Transfer Segment — Revenue in the Money Transfer Segment, which represents approximately 22% of total consolidated revenue for the first half of 2008, is primarily derived through the charging of a transaction fee, as well as the difference between purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. We have an origination network in place comprised of agents and Company-owned stores primarily in North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia-Pacific and a worldwide network of distribution agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Origination and distribution agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services. These fees are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates

Throughout 2007 and into 2008, the U.S. dollar has weakened compared to most of the currencies of the countries in which we operate. Because our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities, amounts we earned for the first half of 2008 are positively impacted by the weakening of the U.S. dollar. We estimate that, depending on the mix of countries and currencies, our operating income for the first half of 2008 benefited by approximately 10% to 15% when compared to 2007.
