TRM Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Interim Financial Data
     The consolidated financial statements of TRM Corporation and its subsidiaries included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2006.
     Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred a net loss of $8.9 million in 2005 and a net loss of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. As a result of our 2005 and first quarter 2006 financial performance, we failed to meet certain financial covenants of our financing agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders. As discussed further in Note 5, we have entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Amendment with our lenders pursuant to which they have agreed not to take any action with regard to our covenant violations prior to June 15, 2006. However, we do not expect to meet all of our financial covenants for the second quarter of 2006, because some of the covenant calculations include results of operations for the most recent twelve-month period, and we incurred substantial losses in the fourth quarter of 2005. Therefore, we expect that the lenders will have the right to require payment in full of our outstanding debt under our financing agreement ($90.1 million at March 31, 2006) unless we refinance our debt under the financing agreement or obtain additional forbearance. In addition, there are claimed cross-default provisions in our facility for funding the cash which is placed in our ATMs (“vault cash”) in the United States. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the lenders under the United States vault cash facility which also terminates on June 15, 2006. If we do not refinance the outstanding debt under our financing agreement or obtain additional forbearance, we expect to be declared in default of the provisions of our vault cash facility as well, and the lender will be able to demand payment. These factors, among others, may indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to continue to defer payment of our liabilities under our financing agreement, or to refinance them.

Table of Contents

     We expect to be able to refinance the outstanding balances under our financing agreement and have entered into a letter of intent with an investment firm to do so. However, we can provide no assurance that we will succeed in finalizing the refinancing before the end of the forbearance period, or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt or to get our lenders to agree to further forbearance from calling our loans, we might be forced to seek protection of the courts through reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
     If we refinance the outstanding balances under our financing agreement, or if the balance is demanded by the lender, the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.4 million as of March 31, 2006 associated with this credit facility will need to be written off in the period of refinancing or demand.
2. Financial Statement Reclassifications
     Certain financial statement reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no impact on shareholders’ equity or previously reported net income.
3. Net Income Per Share
     Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, with diluted net income (loss) per share including the effect of potentially dilutive securities. For diluted net income (loss) per share, the calculation includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, unless such effect is antidilutive. Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been dilutive. Our options could be antidilutive in the future.

Table of Contents

     In November 2004 we and Bank of America, N.A., our primary lender, executed a credit agreement to refinance our existing revolving loan. The facility included a $120 million term loan maturing in November 2010 and $15 million each for domestic and foreign revolving lines of credit maturing November 19, 2009. Bank of America, N.A. has issued a letter of credit in the amount of $3.8 million at March 31, 2006 to guarantee our performance under our agreements relating to TRM Inventory Funding Trust and a letter of credit of £750,000 (approximately $1.3 million) in connection with our attempt to acquire the ATM business of Travelex. The agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain a minimum net worth and certain financial ratios related to debt coverage and funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and contains certain cross-default provisions.
     On March 15, 2006, because of defaults in covenants requiring certain funded debt to earnings and debt coverage ratios, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Amendment with the lenders. We have also failed to meet the funded debt to earnings and debt coverage ratios for the first quarter of 2006. However, pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment and subject to certain conditions, the lenders have agreed until June 15, 2006, to forbear from exercising any and all rights or remedies available to them as a result of the events of default we have acknowledged. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the maximum amounts available under our domestic and foreign lines of credit until June 15, 2006 have been reduced to $15 million and $5 million, respectively. The amendment to our agreement also increased the interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility.
     As of March 31, 2006, we had balances of $80.3 million outstanding pursuant to the term loan, $6.3 million under the domestic line of credit, and $3.5 million under the foreign line of credit. The amounts available to us at March 31, 2006 under the domestic and foreign lines of credit as amended was $5.1 million. Interest is due monthly on the term loan; principal is payable in quarterly installments of $1.9 million through September 30, 2010, with the remaining balance due November 19, 2010. We may be required to prepay a portion of the loans under certain conditions. We believe that it is unlikely that we will meet certain of the financial covenants at the end of the second quarter of 2006, in which case the lenders will have the right to require payment in full of our outstanding debt unless the forbearance period is extended. Therefore, the entire balance of the term loan and borrowings under the lines of credit is classified as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Interest is at one of two rates, elected at our option, for the term loan and revolving loans:
    the base rate plus the applicable rate, or
 
    the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable rate plus mandatory costs.
The base rate is equal to the higher of the federal funds rate, plus 1/2 of 1%, or the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate.” LIBOR is the British Bankers Association LIBOR as published by Reuters. Mandatory costs reflect the costs of compliance with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority and the requirements of the European Central Bank.

Table of Contents

     The applicable rate for the term loan under the amended agreement is as follows:
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio, that is, the ratio of our debt to EBITDA is less than 2.5, the applicable rate is 4.5% for LIBOR loans and 3.0% for base rate loans; and
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.5, the applicable rate is 5.0% for LIBOR loans and 3.5% for base rate loans.
     The applicable rate for the domestic and foreign lines of credit under the amended agreement is as follows:
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.25, the applicable rate is 3.25% for LIBOR loans and 1.75% for base rate loans.
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.25 but less than 2.75, the applicable rate is 3.5% for LIBOR loans and 2.0% for base rate loans.
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75 but less than 3.25, the applicable rate is 3.75% for LIBOR loans and 2.25% for base rate loans.
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.25, the applicable rate is 4.0% for LIBOR loans and 2.5% for base rate loans.
The foreign line of credit accrues interest as a LIBOR loan.
     As of March 31, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 9.78%; interest rates on the domestic and foreign lines of credit were 10.25% and 7.35%, respectively.
     We entered into a three-year interest rate cap on March 31, 2005 with a notional amount of $50 million. If the LIBOR interest rate rises above 5% any time through March 31, 2008, we will receive payments that reduce the interest rate on the $50 million notional amount to 5% plus the applicable rate and mandatory costs in accordance with the loan agreement. The objective of the interest rate cap is to ensure that we are not exposed to interest rate increases beyond 5% on $50 million of our outstanding term loan for the three-year period which began March 31, 2005. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” we have designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge of $50 million of our LIBOR-based variable rate term loan. We expect the hedge of the term loan to be highly effective in offsetting potential changes in cash flows attributed to an increase in interest rates beyond 5%. Accordingly, we record as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) all unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate cap. We will record any realized gains on the interest rate cap as a reduction of interest expense on the term loan, if and when the LIBOR interest rate exceeds 5%. We are exposed to credit risk arising from the counterparty to the interest rate cap, but currently believe that our exposure to such credit risk is low.

6. Shareholders’ Equity
  Common Stock Options
     Prior to 2006, we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related interpretations in accounting for stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, we recognized no compensation expense for our stock-based compensation plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” during the first quarter of 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based payments using APB No. 25, and instead requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The expense is to be measured as the fair value of the award at its grant date based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest, and recorded over the applicable service period. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value would be based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the

9


Table of Contents

award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate. The requirements of SFAS 123R are effective for our first quarter beginning January 1, 2006 and apply to all awards granted, modified or cancelled after that date, and to the portion of previously granted awards that have not vested by the adoption date. We have adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 on a prospective basis using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R requires that stock-based compensation expense be based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We have recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Because most of our previously granted stock options had vested prior to the end of 2005 and no new options have been issued during 2006, the effect of adopting SFAS 123R on our results of operations, loss per share and cash flow for the first quarter of 2006 was not material.
     Non-cash stock compensation expense for the first three months of 2006 is included in selling, general and administrative expense and includes amortization of previously unvested stock option grants and amortization of restricted shares of common stock granted to our directors during 2005, as follows (in thousands):
         
Option grants
  $ 36  
Restricted shares
    47  
 
     
 
  $ 83  
 
     
     We have reserved 3,700,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our stock incentive plans. Under our plans we are authorized to issue incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted shares of common stock. All options terminate no more than ten years from the date of grant and vest over various schedules ranging up to five years. We issue new shares upon exercise of options.
     A summary of stock option activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 follows:
                 
    Shares     Weighted

     As of March 31, 2006, options to acquire 1,296,763 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $6.11 per share were exercisable. As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $398,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock award plans that are expected to vest. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.
     During the fourth quarter of 2005, grants of 27,000 restricted shares were made to our directors, of which 3,000 shares were forfeited during the first quarter of 2006, and 24,000 shares

remained outstanding as of March 31, 2006. The fair value of the shares at the grant date was $13.97 per share. None of the restricted shares had vested as of March 31, 2006.
     We did not grant any options in the first quarter of 2005 or the first quarter of 2006. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $114,000 and $6,000 during the first quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively.
     Options outstanding that were fully vested or expected to vest as of March 31, 2006:
         
Number of shares under option
    1,427,015  
Weighted average exercise price
  $ 5.88  
Aggregate intrinsic value
  $ 1,393,000  
Weighted average remaining contractual term
  2.7 years
     All fully vested options are currently exercisable as of March 31, 2006.
     None of our outstanding options were modified during 2005 or during the first quarter of 2006. However, in April 2006 we extended the termination date of certain options and accelerated the vesting of certain options granted to our former President and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this action we will record non-cash compensation expense of $618,000 in the second quarter of 2006.
7. Provision for Income Taxes
     Our effective tax rate for the first three months of 2006 was 23.0%, resulting in a tax benefit of $449,000. For the first three months of 2005, our effective tax rate was 34.2%, and the tax provision was $857,000. The 2006 rate differs from the United States statutory rate of 34% due to the nondeductiblity of interest in the United Kingdom and losses in Canada, for which no tax benefit can be recorded.
8. Segment Reporting
     We have two reportable segments: Automated Teller Machines (“ATM”) and Photocopy. ATM owns and operates ATM machines in retail establishments, sells ATM machines, and services equipment for others. Photocopy owns and maintains self-service photocopiers in retail establishments.
     The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We evaluate each segment’s performance based on operating income or loss excluding costs of raising capital and pursuing potential acquisitions. Information regarding the operations of these reportable segments is as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
     Statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have based these forward-looking statements on management’s current expectations about future events. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and by words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions.
     Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. This can occur as a result of inaccurate assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. We discuss many of the risks and uncertainties that may impact our business in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Because of these risks and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements. Other factors beyond those referred to above could also adversely affect us. Therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Overview
     We are a large-scale, multinational owner and operator of automated teller machine, or ATM, networks with operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. During the first quarter of 2006 our networks had an average of 18,321 transacting ATMs. In addition, with an average of 23,420 self-service merchant-based photocopiers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada during the first quarter of 2006, we believe we have the largest photocopier network in the world.
     In 2005, we incurred a net loss of $8.9 million. Subsequent to the end of 2005, based upon our financial performance during the second half of 2005, we determined that we were in default under certain financial covenants contained in the credit facility administered by Bank of America. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the lenders with respect to that facility. In addition, there are claimed cross-default provisions in our facility for funding the cash which is placed in our ATMs (which we refer to as “vault cash”) in the United States. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with the lender under that facility as well. For a discussion of these defaults and potential defaults, the forbearance agreements and their effect on

us, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Bank of America Credit Facility” and “– United States Vault Cash Facility.”
     During the first quarter of 2006, our ATM networks had an average of 18,321 transacting machines deployed throughout the United Kingdom, United States and Canada representing a decrease of 1,944 ATMs (or 9.6%) when compared to the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in the number of ATMs was principally due to attrition of ATM contracts acquired in our acquisition of the ATM business of eFunds Corporation in November 2004. Our ATM operations produced net sales of $21.3 million during the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of $3.2 million (or 13.1%) as compared to the same period in the prior year.
     During the first quarter of 2006, we had an average of 23,420 installed photocopiers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, a decrease of 1,250 photocopiers (or 5.1%) when compared to the average for the first quarter of the prior year. The decrease in the number of photocopiers was caused primarily by the elimination of low volume sites. Photocopy net sales were $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, down from $8.9 million during the same period in the prior year.

Sales
     For the first quarter of 2006, consolidated sales decreased by $5.9 million, or 10%, to $53.0 million from $58.8 million for the first quarter of 2005. ATM sales decreased by $4.3 million due primarily to a reduction in the number of transacting ATMs in our networks, while photocopier sales decreased by $1.5 million due to a decline in installed photocopiers and in the average number of photocopies per machine.
     During the first quarter of 2006, sales and expenses were affected by the decline in value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar and an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the British pound. Approximately 31% of consolidated sales for the quarter were generated in the United Kingdom and Canada by our subsidiaries in those countries. The average exchange rates during the first quarter of 2006 were U.S. $1.754 to £1.00 and U.S. $.872 to Canadian $1.00, compared to U.S. $1.902 to £1.00 and U.S. $.813 to Canadian $1.00 during the first quarter of 2005. As a result of these changes in the value of the British pound and Canadian dollar, we reported $630,000 less in sales during the first quarter of 2006 than we would have reported had the exchange rates remained constant at the averages for the first quarter of 2005. This reduction was substantially offset by corresponding exchange rate-related decreases in expenses.
     ATM sales. ATM sales were $43.8 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $48.1 million for the first quarter of the prior year. The $4.3 million decrease in ATM sales was primarily a result of a $4.1 million decrease in transaction-based sales.
     The $4.1 million decrease in transaction-based sales resulted from:
    A 9.6% decrease in the average number of transacting ATMs in our networks, primarily as a result of attrition of the contracts acquired from eFunds Corporation in November 2004. We expect that the number of ATMs in our networks will continue to decrease during the remainder of 2006. However, we expect the decrease to be at a lower rate than that experienced during the last twelve months.
 
    A 2.6% decrease in average transaction-based sales per withdrawal transaction, to $2.29 from $2.35 in the first quarter of the prior year.
     The decreases in the number of ATMs in our network and sales per withdrawal transaction were partially offset by:
    A 2.9% increase in average withdrawals per ATM per month, to 315 from 306 in the first quarter of the prior year.
     The change in the value of the British pound and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar for the first quarter of 2006 compared to same period in the prior year, resulted in a $616,000 decrease in ATM sales. This decrease was substantially offset by exchange rate-related decreases in costs.

Table of Contents

     Photocopier sales. Photocopier sales in the first quarter of 2006 were $9.2 million compared to $10.7 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The $1.5 million decrease resulted primarily from:
    Declining photocopy volume — Continuing a trend, photocopy volume declined by 26% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, to 96 million copies from 129 million copies, due to a combination of:
    A decline in installed photocopiers to an average of 23,420 in the first quarter of 2006 from an average of 24,670 for the same period in the prior year, as we continued a program of eliminating lower volume sites that were either unprofitable or marginally profitable; and
 
    A decline in the average number of photocopies made per unit per month to 1,367 for the first quarter of 2006 from 1,749 for the same period in the prior year due to price increases that became effective in early 2006, as well as competition from alternative media and copying services.
     The declining volume was partially offset by an increase in our average sales per copy, to $.095 in the first quarter of 2006 from $.083 in the same period in the prior year due to our efforts to work with merchants to increase prices in late 2005 and early 2006.
Sales Discounts
     Sales discounts on a consolidated basis as a percentage of sales were 45.4% in the first quarter of 2006 and 43.2% in the first quarter of 2005. Sales discounts in the ATM business increased to 56.9% of transaction-based sales in the first quarter of 2006 from 54.0% in the first quarter of the prior year. ATM sales discounts in the first quarter of 2005 were lower than normal due to an accrual for recovery of overpayments to merchants credited to discounts in that quarter. ATM sales discounts in the first quarter of 2006 of 56.9% of transaction based sales are slightly lower than the comparable percentage (57.6%) for all of 2005. Sales discounts in the photocopier business decreased in the first quarter of 2006 to 16.9% of sales from 17.0% in the first quarter of the prior year, as a result of declining volumes and merchant contracts that provide percentage discounts that decrease as copy volume decreases.

Cost of Sales
     Cost of sales on a consolidated basis increased to 32.4% of sales in the first quarter of 2006, from 29.8% in the first quarter of the prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased in both the ATM and photocopier segments.
     ATM cost of sales. Cost of sales in our ATM operations decreased by $140,000 to $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $11.7 million for the same time period in the prior year, as a result of:
    A $305,000 decrease in the cost of ATM machines sold.
 
    A decrease in our ATM networks to an average of 18,321 transacting ATMs in the first quarter of 2006 compared to an average of 20,265 transacting ATMs in the same period of the prior year. This decrease in transacting units resulted in:
    a $240,000 decrease in the cost of parts, and
 
    a $157,000 decrease in telecommunication and processing fees.
    A $162,000 decrease in rental expense caused by the termination of an operating lease for ATM equipment.
 
    Exchange rate effects – The ATM segment reported $311,000 less in cost of sales in the first quarter of 2006 than it would have reported had the exchange rate for the British pound remained at the average for the first quarter of the prior year.
     The decreases in cost of ATM sales were partially offset by:
    A $346,000 increase in the cost of armored car carriers, partially as a result of a program to reduce cash balances in our ATM machines resulting in more frequent cash deliveries.
 
    A $320,000 increase in depreciation due primarily to depreciation on the cost of upgrading ATM equipment in the United Kingdom to meet EMV standards during 2005.
 
    A $166,000 increase in the cost of vault cash caused by increasing interest rates.
     However, expressed as a percentage of sales, cost of sales in our ATM operations increased to 26.4% of sales from 24.3% in the first quarter of the prior year primarily because of increases in the cost of armored car services and vault cash and the increase in depreciation expense.
     Photocopier cost of sales. Cost of sales in our photocopier operations decreased to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The reduction in photocopy volume resulted in a decrease in the cost of parts and supplies by $240,000.

Table of Contents

     However, as a percent of sales, cost of sales in our photocopier operations increased to 61.1% of sales from 54.1% in the first quarter of the prior year. This increase as a percent of sales was due primarily to a $34,000 increase in labor costs and a $93,000 increase in auto expense due to increased fuel costs despite reduced photocopy volumes and sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $438,000 to $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $11.1 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales increased to 21.6% in the first quarter of 2006 from 18.8% in the first quarter of the prior year. Specific increases included:
    The cost of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley increased by $573,000 due to implementation costs relating to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
    Legal expense increased by $259,000, due primarily to increased compliance costs and other corporate matters.
 
    Consulting fees increased by $171,000 due primarily to the cost of improving our information systems technology.
 
    Business use, sales and value added tax increased by $145,000 due primarily an increase in purchases subject to VAT and a decrease in the percentage of VAT recoverable.
     The increases in selling, general and administrative expense were partially offset by:
    Labor expense decreased by $599,000. The decrease in labor cost was due in part to a $280,000 reduction in incentive compensation expense. In late 2004 and early 2005 retention bonuses were paid to our executives that were charged to expense during 2005. No such bonuses were paid at the end of 2005 or in early 2006.
 
    Amortization expense decreased by $168,000, primarily due to the declining amortization of intangible assets relating to ATM contracts.
 
    The changes in the value of the British pound and Canadian dollar caused a decrease of $137,000 in selling, general and administrative expense.

     As required by SFAS No. 123R, effective in the first quarter of 2006 we have begun to recognize compensation expense relating to stock option grants that were not vested at the beginning of 2006. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2005, we issued shares of restricted stock to our directors. The fair value of these shares on the date of issuance is being charged to expense over the vesting period. The expense relating to our stock options and restricted stock grants is reported as non-cash compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
     In April 2006 we determined to extend the termination date of certain options and accelerate the vesting of certain options granted to our former President and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this action we will record non-cash compensation expense of $618,000 in the second quarter of 2006.
Asset Write-offs
     Asset write-offs were $187,000 in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $35,000 from the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense decreased by $126,000 to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in interest expense is due primarily to a decrease in the average balance outstanding offset by an increase in our average term loan interest rate from 6.89% at March 31, 2005 to 9.78% at March 31, 2006. In the first quarter of 2006 our average interest-bearing debt was $92.2 million. In the first quarter of 2005 our average interest-bearing debt was approximately $135 million, mostly borrowings pursuant to our $150 million syndicated loan facility underwritten and arranged by Bank of America, N.A. We expect that interest expense will increase materially in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of our defaults under our credit facility with Bank of America, the resultant forbearance agreement and higher interest rates. We discuss this facility in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Bank of America Credit Facility.”
Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2006 was 23.0%, resulting in a tax benefit of $449,000. For the first quarter of the prior year, the effective tax rate was 34.2%, and the tax provision was $857,000. The 2006 rate differs from the United States statutory rate of 34% due to the nondeductiblity of interest in the United Kingdom and losses in Canada, for which no tax benefit can be recorded.

Net Income (Loss)
     Net loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $1.5 million, a decrease of $3.2 million compared to the $1.7 million in net income for the same period in the prior year. Income (loss) available to common shareholders was a loss of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 and income of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
     Our principal ongoing funding requirements are for working capital to finance our operations, service debt and service lease obligations. Unless we receive an additional extension of time, in 2006 we will also be required to fund upgrades to our United States ATMs to comply with industry standards governing encryption of data.
     During the first three months of 2006, we used $3.8 million of cash for operating activities as compared to $798,000 used for operating activities in the same period in 2005. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities was due primarily to a reduction in accrued liabilities during the quarter. We used $1.5 million to reduce debt and $1.0 million for capital expenditures during the quarter.
     We had cash and cash equivalents of $3.2 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $9.7 million at December 31, 2005, and a net working capital deficit of $85.4 million at March 31, 2006 compared to a working capital deficit of $89.2 million at December 31, 2005.
     We believe that as of March 31, 2006, the remaining cost of upgrading the ATMs we own in the United States to comply with new industry standards known as triple DES will be approximately $3.3 million. These costs are being capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of each asset. As of March 31, 2006, approximately 25% of our ATMs in the United States were compliant with triple DES.
     While we believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to conduct our ongoing operations, we do not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay our Bank of America credit facility if immediate payment is demanded. If payment of our United States vault cash facility is demanded, we could repay the outstanding balance using our vault cash. However, we would have to find an alternate source for vault cash to continue to provide cash to our United States full placement ATMs. See “Overview”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Bank of America Credit Facility” and “– United States Vault Cash Facility.” Moreover, the increased rates charged under our Bank of America credit facility, and the increased rates we likely would be charged by lenders with respect to any refinancing of that facility which we may be able to obtain, will reduce our liquidity in future periods.

Bank of America Credit Facility
     General. In connection with the acquisition of eFunds’ ATM business on November 19, 2004, we, together with our United Kingdom subsidiary, TRM (ATM) Limited, which we refer to as TRM LTD, entered into a $150 million syndicated loan facility underwritten and arranged by Bank of America, N.A. The credit facility included:
    a revolving (domestic) commitment of up to $15 million,
 
    an alternative (foreign) currency commitment of up to $15 million, and
 
    a term loan commitment of up to $120 million.
     At the time we request additional amounts, we have the right to direct whether such additional amounts are advanced under the revolving commitment as revolving loans, letter of credit obligations or swing-line loans or under the alternative currency commitment as foreign loans (in a currency other than United States dollars).
     On March 15, 2006, because of defaults in covenants requiring certain funded debt to earnings and debt coverage ratios, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Amendment with the lenders. We have also failed to meet the funded debt to earnings and debt coverage ratios for the first quarter of 2006. However, pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment and subject to certain conditions, the lenders have agreed until June 15, 2006 to forbear from exercising any and all rights or remedies available to them as a result of the forgoing events of default. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the maximum amounts available under our domestic and foreign lines of credit until June 15, 2006 have been reduced to $15 million and $5 million, respectively. The amendment to our agreement also increased the interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility which we describe in “Maturity date and interest rate” below.
     We believe that it is unlikely that we will meet the financial covenants at the end of the second quarter of 2006, in which case the lenders will have the right to declare the facility in default and require payment in full of our outstanding debt unless we obtain new financing or an extension of the forbearance period. Therefore, the entire balance of the term loan and borrowings under the lines of credit is classified as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheet. If we are unable to refinance the facility by June 16, 2006 or obtain additional forbearance, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.
     For a discussion of claimed cross-defaults under our United States vault cash facility, see” – United States Vault Cash Facility.”
     Maturity date and interest rate. Subject to earlier call as a result of our defaults and the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment described above, the maturity date of any loans extended under the revolving commitment and the alternative currency commitment is November 19, 2009, while the maturity date of the loan extended under the term loan commitment is November 19, 2010.

22


Table of Contents

     The credit facility bears interest at one of two rates, elected at our option for the term loan and the revolving and alternative currency loans:
    the base rate plus the applicable rate, or
 
    the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable rate plus mandatory costs.
The base rate is equal to the higher of the federal funds rate, plus 1/2 of 1%, or the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate.” LIBOR is the British Bankers Association LIBOR as published by Reuters. Mandatory costs reflect the costs of compliance with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority and the requirements of the European Central Bank.
     The applicable rate for revolving loans and alternative currency loans under the credit agreement, as amended by the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment, is as follows:
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio, that is, the ratio of our debt to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is less than 2.25, the applicable rate is 3.25% for LIBOR loans and letters of credit and 1.75% for base rate loans;
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.25 but less than 2.75, the applicable rate is 3.5% for LIBOR loans and letters of credit and 2.0% for base rate loans;
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.75 but less than 3.25, the applicable rate is 3.75% for LIBOR loans and letters of credit and 2.25% for base rate loans; and
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.25, the applicable rate is 4.0% for LIBOR loans and letters of credit and 2.5% for base rate loans.
     The applicable rate for the term loan under the amended agreement is as follows:
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.5, the applicable rate is 4.5% for LIBOR loans and 3.0% for base rate loans; and
 
    Where our consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.5, the applicable rate is 5.0% for LIBOR loans and 3.5% for base rate loans.
     An alternative currency loan must accrue interest as a LIBOR loan.
     As of March 31, 2006, we owed $90.1 million on the facility, consisting of $80.3 million on the term loan and $9.8 million on the lines of credit. In addition, Bank of America had issued

23


Table of Contents

a letter of credit in the amount of $3.8 million to guarantee our performance under an agreement relating to our United States vault cash facility and a letter of credit totaling £750,000 (approximately $1.3 million) in connection with our effort to acquire the ATM business of Travelex, leaving a balance available under our lines of credit of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 9.78%; interest rates on the domestic and foreign lines of credit were 10.25% and 7.35%, respectively.
     We entered into a three-year interest rate cap on March 31, 2005 with a notional amount of $50 million. If the LIBOR interest rate rises above 5% any time through March 31, 2008, we will receive payments that reduce the interest rate on the $50 million notional amount to 5% plus the applicable rate and mandatory costs in accordance with the loan agreement. The objective of the interest rate cap is to ensure that we are not exposed to interest rate increases beyond 5% on $50 million of our outstanding term loan for the three-year period which began March 31, 2005.
     Collateral. The credit facility is collateralized by the pledge of the outstanding equity interests in our United States subsidiaries and by the pledge of 65% of the outstanding equity interests of each Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiary. In addition, the credit facility is collateralized by a mortgage on all property held by us, whether owned or leased, subject to certain limited exceptions.
   Prepayment. We may be required to prepay the loans under certain conditions, including the following:
    100% of the net cash proceeds received by us as a result of certain dispositions must be applied toward the credit facility, to the extent that such net cash proceeds are not reinvested within 120 days of the date of disposition in assets useful in the same or similar lines of business to that in which we were engaged as of the closing date.
 
    75% of the consolidated excess cash flow received by us for any fiscal year must be applied toward the credit facility reduced to 50% if our consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 2.5.
 
    100% of the net cash proceeds received by us as a result of any debt issuance must be applied toward the credit facility.
 
    75% of the net cash proceeds received by us as a result of any equity issuance must be applied toward the credit facility.
In addition, we are required to pay $1.9 million in principal on the term loan quarterly. Any prepayments of principal that we make as a result of the actions listed above will be credited ratably against future repayment obligations.
     The credit agreement requires us to maintain a consolidated net worth of at least $105 million, increased on a cumulative basis as of the end of each fiscal quarter by an amount equal to 75% of consolidated net income for the fiscal quarter then ended. The credit agreement also requires us to maintain a leverage ratio, that is a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as follows (for fiscal 2005 and thereafter):

24


Table of Contents

    from January 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005: 3.50;
 
    from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006: 3.00; and
 
    from October 2006 through the maturity date: 2.50.
     In addition, the credit agreement requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA and non-cash expenses to fixed charges, including taxes paid, interest paid, scheduled debt payments, cash dividends and distributions (except those permitted under the credit agreement) as follows:
    for 2005: 1.00;
 
    the first three quarters of 2006: 1.10;
 
    for the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first three quarters of 2007: 1.15, and
 
    thereafter: 1.20
     The credit agreement contains covenants customary for loans of this size, including restrictions on incurring additional debt and fundamental changes. It also contains a covenant from us that we will not permit consolidated capital expenditures to exceed $17.0 million in 2005, and $15.0 million per year for any fiscal year thereafter, and permits us to pay dividends only on our preferred equity without lender consent. The events which constitute an event of default under the credit agreement are also customary for loans of this size, including payment defaults, breaches of our representations and covenants, adverse judgments against us in excess of a specified amount and a change in control.
United States Vault Cash Facility
     General. In March 2000, we established a facility for funding the cash which is placed in our ATM equipment (which we refer to as “vault cash”) for our United States ATMs. We currently have access to $150 million of vault cash under the facility of which $78.5 million was being used at March 31, 2006.
     DZ Bank has asserted, based upon a cross-default provision in the Loan and Servicing Agreement governing the facility, that defaults under our Bank of America credit facility, which we discuss in “Overview” and “Bank of America Facility,” constitute a default under the Loan and Servicing Agreement. We have entered into a forbearance agreement under which DZ Bank has agreed to forbear from asserting that default until June 15, 2006. If our United States vault cash facility were declared in default and payment demanded, we may be unable to continue as a going concern unless we are able to find another vault cash provider. See Item 1A “Risk Factors — Risk Relating to Our Default Under Our Credit Agreement” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     Structure of the facility. The facility is based on the relationship between three primary companies. These companies are:
    TRM Inventory Funding Trust, or the Trust. The Trust is a Delaware business trust that was created pursuant to a deposit trust agreement between GSS Holdings, Inc. as depositor, Wilmington Trust Company as owner trustee, and

25


Table of Contents

      TRM ATM Corporation as servicer. The majority equity holder in the Trust is Autobahn Funding Company, LLC, and the minority equity holder is GSS Holdings, Inc. Neither we, TRM ATM Corporation nor any of our other affiliates have any ownership interest in the Trust.
 
    TRM ATM Corporation, or TRM ATM. TRM ATM is one of our subsidiaries and acts as the servicer under the facility.
 
    Autobahn Funding Company, LLC, or Autobahn. Autobahn is an affiliate of DZ Bank AG, Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank Frankfurt am Main, which is the lender under the facility. Autobahn is independent of us, TRM ATM and our other affiliates.
     Operation of the facility. We obtain our vault cash under the facility pursuant to a Loan and Servicing Agreement. In accordance with that agreement, Autobahn raises funds by issuing asset-backed commercial paper. Autobahn then loans those funds to the Trust at an interest rate equal to the interest rate borne by the commercial paper plus 1.75%. The loaned funds are then deposited into an account from which, at the direction of TRM ATM acting as the servicer of the facility, they are disbursed to an armored car carrier for transportation to our United States ATMs. The loaned funds are then available for withdrawal from the ATMs by the public. The cash at all times remains the property of the Trust, and the Trust is ultimately obligated to repay Autobahn.
     The Trust, as borrower under the facility, and TRM ATM, as servicer, use their cash from operations, which is principally derived from ATM withdrawal and interchange fees, to fund a settlement account from which, in combination with its vault cash, TRM ATM directs repayment of the loans to the Trust, the interest on the loans, a specified return on the equity investment made by the investors in the Trust and the fees described below.
     The Trust engages TRM ATM, as servicer, and other agents and contractors from time to time to perform all duties assigned under the Loan and Servicing Agreement. Under the terms of the November 2004 amendment to the facility, TRM ATM is permitted to subservice certain servicing functions to eFunds Corporation pursuant to a master services agreement related to our acquisition of the eFunds ATM business.
     The Loan and Servicing Agreement contains covenants applicable to us, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement. We were in compliance with the covenant to maintain a minimum tangible net worth as of March 31, 2006.
     Collateral and credit enhancement. The Trust’s borrowings from Autobahn are collateralized by the assets of the Trust, principally the vault cash. In addition, where the vault cash is placed in an ATM, the Trust has a security interest in all of the fees and charges earned or received with respect to that ATM until those fees are distributed to TRM ATM.
     Autobahn is a party to a liquidity purchase agreement with other lenders, which ensures that the Trust continues to have funds available for the term of the agreement and that Autobahn will have the funds necessary to repay the commercial paper it issues. Each lender party to the

26


Table of Contents

agreement is required to have a credit rating at least as high as the credit rating of the commercial paper that Autobahn issues.
     Cost of the facility. The primary costs paid in connection with the facility are:
    Interest on the loaned funds. The loans bear interest at an interest rate equal to 1.75% plus the interest rate borne by the commercial paper that was issued to raise the funds for the loans. Interest paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $868,000.
 
    Return for equity investors. Autobahn and GSS Holdings, Inc., as equity investors in the Trust, receive a return on the value of their investments, which were $1,485,000 and $15,000, respectively, as of March 31, 2006. Autobahn’s annual return is equal to 1.75% plus the interest rate borne by the commercial paper that is outstanding. GSS Holdings’ annual return is equal to 25.0%.
 
    Fees. Autobahn receives a commitment fee and TRM ATM, as servicer, and the collateral agent each receive administrative fees in connection with the facility. Fees paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $392,000.
     Risk of loss and insurance. Any risk with regard to the Trust or the ability of the Trust to repay the Trust’s debt resides with the Trust and with GSS Holdings as the minority equity investor and with Autobahn as the majority equity investor. TRM ATM serves only as an administrator or servicer of the Trust.
     We maintain letters of credit totaling $3.8 million, or 4.1% of loans outstanding on March 31, 2006, to guarantee the performance of the servicer of the facility. The Trust’s subcontractors maintain insurance on behalf of the Trust so as to ensure the cash is safe while stored at correspondent banks, and during delivery to ATM equipment and to vault or bank storage facilities.
U.K. Vault Cash Facility
     Our U.K. ATM business obtains vault cash under an agreement with a local bank. Vault cash obtained under the program remains the property of the bank, and is not included on our balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2006, we accessed amounts ranging from £17.8 million ($30.8 million based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) to £29.0 million ($50.1 million based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) under this arrangement and paid a total of $496,000 for use of the cash. Our defaults under our Bank of America credit facility may constitute an event of default under our United Kingdom vault cash facility upon termination of the forbearance period. If we are unable to refinance our debt or extend the forbearance period prior to June 15, 2006, and the lenders declare us in default with respect to our Bank of America credit facility, we may be declared to be in default with respect to this agreement as well.

Table of Contents

Canadian Vault Cash Facility
     Our Canadian ATM business obtains vault cash under an agreement with an armored car carrier that has a corresponding agreement with a local bank. As in our U.K. vault cash arrangement, the vault cash obtained under the Canadian program remains the property of the bank, and is not included on our balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2006, we accessed amounts ranging from Canadian $11.4 million (U.S. $9.7 million based on exchange rate as of March 31, 2006) to Canadian $19.7 million (U.S. $16.8 million based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) and paid a total of $286,000 for use of the cash. We believe that the default under the Bank of America credit facility does not constitute a default under our Canadian vault cash facility.
Contractual Commitments and Obligations
     Contractual commitments and obligations as of March 31, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

     The above payments include interest where applicable, with interest on variable rate obligations assumed to remain constant at the rate in effect as of March 31, 2006. The long-term bank debt and TRM Inventory Funding Trust note payable are shown above in accordance with their contractual terms. However, because we believe it is likely that our creditors may be able to demand payment of those debts during 2006, we have classified them as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Purchase obligations consist of a master services agreement with eFunds Corporation, which involves payment totaling at least $5 million annually through November 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our critical accounting policies and estimates as of March 31, 2006 are consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

New Accounting Standards and Effects on Earnings Per Share
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” an amendment of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based payments using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and instead requires companies to recognize compensation expense using a fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and employee stock purchase plans. The expense is measured as the fair value of the award at its grant date based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest, and recorded over the applicable service period. In the absence of an observable market price for a share-based award, the fair value is based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the award, the expected term of the award, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate. The requirements of SFAS 123R became effective January 1, 2006 and apply to all awards granted, modified or cancelled after that date, and to the portion of previously granted awards that have not vested by the adoption date. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Because most of our previously granted stock options had vested prior to the end of 2005 and no new options have been issued during 2006, the effect of adopting SFAS 123R on our results of operations, loss per share and cash flow for the first quarter of 2006 was not material.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We do not hold or issue derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
     We invest our cash in money market accounts. The income earned from these money market accounts is subject to changes in interest rates. Interest income was $144,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and $108,000 for the same period in 2005. If the interest rate we earned on the $3.2 million cash we had available for investment at March 31, 2006 increased or decreased by 1%, our interest income would not change materially.
     Interest on borrowings pursuant to our syndicated loan facility is at variable rates. As of March 31, 2006 the weighted average interest rate on our $80.3 million term loan was 9.78%, the interest rate on the $6.3 million outstanding under the domestic line of credit was 10.25%, and the weighted average interest rate on the $3.5 million outstanding under the foreign line of credit was 7.35%. If the interest rate for our borrowings under the syndicated loan facility increased by 1%, our interest cost would increase by $901,000 per year. However, a 1% increase in the

LIBOR rate would result in the LIBOR interest rate exceeding 5%, and we would benefit from our interest rate cap on $50 million of our term loan. The net increase in our interest cost would be $524,000 per year.
     Under our United States vault cash facility, the Trust borrows money pursuant to a note funded by the sale of commercial paper. The Trust owed $76.8 million at March 31, 2006 and $75.4 million at March 31, 2005 under this arrangement. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings at March 31, 2006 was 6.59%. Interest and fees relating to the Trust’s borrowings, which are included in cost of sales in our consolidated financial statements, totaled $1.4 million and $982,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. If the interest rate for the Trust’s borrowings at March 31, 2006 increased by 1%, to a weighted average of 7.59%, our cost of sales would increase by $768,000 per year.
     Our United Kingdom ATM business obtains vault cash under an agreement with a local bank. Vault cash obtained under the program remains the property of the bank, and the cash is not included on our consolidated balance sheet. During the first three months of 2006 we accessed amounts ranging from £17.8 million ($30.8 million based upon exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) to £29.0 million ($50.1 million based upon exchange rates as of March 31, 2006). During the first three months of 2005 we accessed amounts ranging from £22.3 million ($42.1 million based upon exchange rates as of March 31, 2005) to £38.1 million ($72.0 million based upon exchange rates as of March 31, 2005). Fees that we pay for use of the cash are related to the bank’s interest rates. Based on the £29.0 million balance being used at March 31, 2006, if the cost of the cash increased by 1%, our cost of sales would increase by £290,000 ($501,000 based upon exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) per year.
     Our Canadian ATM business obtains vault cash under an agreement with an armored car carrier that has a corresponding agreement with a local bank. As with our U.K. vault cash arrangement, the vault cash obtained under the Canadian program remains the property of the bank, and is not included on our balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2006, we accessed amounts ranging from Canadian $11.4 million (U.S. $9.7 million based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) to Canadian $19.7 million (U.S. $16.8 million based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) and paid a total of $286,000 for use of the cash. Fees that we pay are related to the bank’s interest rates. Based on the Canadian $14.8 million balance being used at March 31, 2006, if the cost of cash increased by 1% our cost of sales would increase by Canadian $148,000 ($126,000 based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2006) per year.
Foreign Currency Risk
     We have international subsidiaries subject to foreign currency exchange rate exposure. We realize sales from, and pay the expenses of our international operations in British pounds and Canadian dollars. Accordingly, we are exposed to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
     Foreign exchange rate transaction gains, net of losses, were $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Foreign exchange transactions resulted in gains, net of losses, of $66,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. If foreign currency rates were to fluctuate from

Table of Contents

rates at March 31, 2006 our financial position might be materially affected. Assuming a 10% appreciation in foreign currency values versus the U.S. dollar from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates at March 31, 2006, the potential increase in the fair value of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities would have been an aggregate of approximately $6.2 million. Assuming a 10% appreciation in foreign currency values versus the U.S. dollar from the average for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the impact on sales would have been an aggregate increase of approximately $1.6 million, or 2.9%. The impact on net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have been an aggregate increase of approximately $56,000, or .5%. Assuming a 10% depreciation in foreign currency values versus the U.S. dollar from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates at March 31, 2006, the potential decrease in the fair value of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities would have been an aggregate of approximately $6.2 million. Assuming a 10% depreciation in foreign currency values versus the U.S. dollar from the average quoted foreign currency exchanges rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the impact on sales would have been an aggregate decrease of $1.6 million, or 2.9%. The impact on net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have been an aggregate decrease of approximately $56,000, or .5%.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
     Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our disclosure committee appointed by such officers, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
     Subsequent to the end of 2005, we have taken steps to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we identified as of December 31, 2005.
    We have hired a controller, director of accounting and a senior tax accountant to augment our accounting, financial reporting and financial control function in our accounting department.
 
    At the end of the first quarter of 2006, our management has performed a review of our accounts receivable agings in connection with our analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and we believe that our accounts receivable are fairly stated at the end of the quarter.
 
    We have modified our reporting structure so that the Director of Finance for our United Kingdom subsidiaries now reports to our Chief Financial Officer rather than to local management in the United Kingdom. We have not had any major capital projects in the United Kingdom during the first quarter of 2006 that would warrant review by our Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Corporate Controller.
 
    Also at the end of the first quarter of 2006, our Director of Finance in the United Kingdom has reviewed all significant accrued liability accounts of our United Kingdom subsidiaries to ensure that such accounts are fairly stated at the end of the quarter.
     However, as of May 5, 2005, the testing of the effectiveness of our remediation plan as well as hiring one or more internal auditors, have not been completed.
     Other than as described in the two previous paragraphs, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.

Company shall have no obligation to Executive or Executive’s estate for Base Compensation, Annual Bonus, Fringe Benefits or any other form of compensation or benefit, except as otherwise required by law or by benefit plans provided at Company expense, other than (a) amounts of Base Compensation that have accrued through the date of Executive’s death, (b) vested Stock and Stock Options, and (c) reimbursement of appropriately documented expenses incurred by Executive before the termination of employment, to the extent that Executive would have been entitled to such reimbursement but for the termination of employment.

Page 5 of 16

In such event, Executive will be entitled to elect to continue participation in any health, life, accident or disability insurance plans of the Company at Executive’s expense if plans allow for continuation at no cost to the Company.
     10. Termination without Cause; Termination by Executive upon Change of Control.
          (a) Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship with Company at any time without Cause upon ninety (90) days written notice., in which case Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the average of Executive’s highest three (3) years of Base and Annual Bonus Compensation multiplied by 2.99, and Executive shall be entitled to receive all vested Stock and Stock Options (all of which will fully vest upon such termination), so long as Executive executes and does not revoke a Separation Agreement and General Release Agreement acceptable to Company which will be substantially in the terms and form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. In addition, Executive may terminate his employment relationship with Company within one (1) year after a Change of Control, in which case Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the average of Executive’s highest three (3) years of Base and Annual Bonus Compensation multiplied by 2.99, and Executive shall be entitled to receive all vested Stock and Stock Options (all of which will fully vest upon such termination), so long as Executive executes and does not revoke a Separation Agreement and General Release Agreement acceptable to Company which will be substantially in the terms and form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time within three months before, or twelve months after the occurrence of a Change in Control (except for cause), (i) all Stock Options and Restricted Stock granted to Executive by Company, which pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan vest upon a Change in Control, shall vest upon the date of Executive’s employment termination, and shall be exercisable to Executive for ten (10) years thereafter and (ii) Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the average of Executive’s highest three (3) years of Base and Annual Bonus Compensation multiplied by 2.99, so long as Executive executes and does not revoke a Separation Agreement and General Release Agreement acceptable to Company which will be substantially in the terms and form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
          (b) Executive may terminate his employment with Company for any or no reason, upon ninety (90) days written notice. If such notice is provided by Executive, Employer, in its sole discretion, may waive the notice period or any portion thereof, with pay (Base Compensation, only) to Executive for the remaining notice period. Upon termination by Executive of his employment under the provisions of this Subsection 10(b), the Company shall have no obligation to Executive for Base Compensation, Annual Bonus, Fringe Benefits or any other form of compensation or benefits other than (a) amounts of Base Compensation, vested Stock and Stock Options accrued through the effective date of termination, and (b)

Page 6 of 16


 

reimbursement of appropriately documented expenses incurred by Executive before the termination of employment, to the extent that Executive would have been entitled to such reimbursement but for his termination of his employment.
          (c) Termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 7 through 10 shall release the Company of all its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly provided in Sections 7 through 10. Termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section shall not, however, release Executive from Executive’s obligations and restrictions as stated in Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement.
          (d) Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under any Company severance plan other than as reflected herein under Section 10, practice or policy, if any, in effect at or after the time of Executive’s termination since this Agreement supersedes all such plans, practices and policies.
          (e) In the event any amounts payable under this Agreement (and/or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement by which you are to receive payments in the nature of compensation from the Company) would constitute “excess parachute payments,” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, you will receive additional cash payments such that, after payment of all federal, state and local income taxes and federal excise taxes on the excess parachute payments and on the additional cash payments made under this paragraph, you will have a net amount equal to the amount you would have received under the terms of this Agreement [and/or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement pursuant to which you are entitled to receive payments in the nature of compensation from the Company] (but not including the excess parachute gross-up payments payable to you pursuant to this paragraph) if no portion of such payments and/or benefits were treated as excess parachute payments for purposes of Code Section 280G.
     11. Company Property. All advertising, sales, manufacturers’ and other materials or articles or information, including without limitation data processing reports, computer programs, software, customer information and records, business records, price lists or information, samples, or any other materials or data of any kind physically furnished to Executive by Company or developed by Executive on behalf of Company or at Company’s direction or for Company’s use or otherwise in connection with Executive’s employment hereunder, are and shall remain the sole property of Company, including in each case all copies thereof in any medium, including computer tapes and other forms of information storage. If Company requests the return of such materials at any time during or at or after the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall deliver all copies of the same to Company immediately.
     12. Noncompetition, Trade Secrets, Etc. Executive hereby acknowledges that, during and solely as a result of his employment by Company, Executive has had and will have access to Confidential Information as that term is defined herein. In consideration of such special and unique opportunities afforded by Company to Executive as a result of Executive’s employment and the other benefits referred to within this Agreement, the Executive hereby agrees as follows:

Page 7 of 16


 

          (a) From the date hereof until twenty-four (24) months following the termination of Executive’s employment with Company, for any or no reason, whether initiated by Executive or Company, (“Restricted Period A”);
               (i) Executive shall not, for his own benefit or the benefit of any third party, directly or indirectly engage in (as a principal, shareholder, partner, director, officer, agent, Executive, consultant or otherwise) or be financially interested in any business operating within the United States or Canada (the “Restricted Area”), which provides consumer convenience services materially the same as the services Company provides to third parties, or any other business activities which are materially the same as and which are in direct competition with the Business, or with any business activities carried on by Company or being planned by Company, at the time of the termination of Executive’s employment, or any other business activities which are materially the same as the Business for any of the Company’s past, present or prospective clients, customers or accounts; provided however, nothing contained in this Section 12 shall prevent Executive from holding for investment less than five percent (5%) of any class of equity securities of a company whose securities are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in a national market system.
               (ii) Induce or attempt to influence any Executive, customer, independent contractor or supplier of Company to terminate employment or any other relationship with Company. During the Restricted Period, while Executive is still employed by the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or otherwise communicate to any of the clients, customers or accounts of Company, its Affiliates or any Subsidiary thereof that he has been terminated, is considering terminating or has decided to terminate employment with Company.
          (b) From the date hereof until twenty-four (24) months following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, for any or no reason, whether initiated by Executive or Company (“Restricted Period B”), Executive shall not use for Executive’s personal benefit, or disclose, communicate or divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit of any person, firm, association, or company other than Company, any “Confidential Information” which term shall mean any information regarding the business methods, business policies, policies, procedures, techniques, research or development projects or results, historical or projected financial information, budgets, trade secrets, or other knowledge or processes of or developed by Company or any names and addresses of customers or clients or any data on or relating to past, present or prospective Company customers or clients or any other confidential information relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of Company, made known to Executive or learned or acquired by Executive while in the employ of Company. Confidential Information shall not include (1) information unrelated to the Company which was lawfully received by Executive free of restriction from another source having the right to so furnish such Confidential Information; or (2) information after it has become generally available to the public or to industry competitors without breach of this Agreement by the Executive; or (3) information which at the time of disclosure to the Executive was known to the Executive to be free of restriction as evidenced by documentation from the Company which the Executive possesses, or (4) information which Company agrees in writing is free of such restrictions. All memoranda, notes, lists, records, files, documents and other papers and other

Page 8 of 16


 

like items (and all copies, extracts and summaries thereof) made or compiled by Executive or made available to Executive concerning the business of Company shall be Company’s property and shall be delivered to Company promptly upon the termination of Executive’s employment with Company or at any other time on request. The foregoing provisions of this Subsection 12(b) shall apply during and for a period of two (2) years after Executive is an Executive of Company and shall be in addition to (and not a limitation of) any legally applicable protections of Company’s interest in confidential information, trade secrets and the like. At the termination of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive shall return to Company all copies of Confidential Information in any medium, including computer tapes and other forms of data storage.
          (c) Any and all writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and/or techniques which Executive may make, conceive, discover or develop, either solely or jointly with any other person or persons, at any time when Executive is an Executive of Company, whether or not during working hours and whether or not at the request or upon the suggestion of Company, which relate to or are useful in connection with the Business or with any business now or hereafter carried on or contemplated by Company, including developments or expansions of its present fields of operations, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company. Executive shall make full disclosure to Company of all such writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques, and shall do everything necessary or desirable to vest the absolute title thereto in Company. Executive shall write and prepare all specifications and procedures regarding such inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques and otherwise aid and assist Company so that Company can prepare and present applications for copyright or Letters Patent therefor and can secure such copyright or Letters Patent wherever possible, as well as reissues, renewals, and extensions thereof, and can obtain the record title to such copyright or patents so that Company shall be the sole and absolute owner thereof in all countries in which it may desire to have copyright or patent protection. Executive shall not be entitled to any additional or special compensation or reimbursement regarding any and all such writings, inventions, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques.
          (d) Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in the foregoing Subsections in view of the nature of the business in which Company is engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of Company, that their enforcement will not impose a hardship on Executive or significantly impair Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood, and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injuries to Company. Executive and Company acknowledge that, in the event either party believes the other party has violated any of the terms of this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction, without attempting arbitration, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.
          (e) If the Restricted Periods or the Restricted Area specified above should be adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the period of time shall be reduced by such amount or the area shall be reduced by the elimination of such portion or both such reductions shall be made so that such restrictions may be enforced for such time and in such area as is adjudged to be reasonable. If Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in the foregoing Subsections, the relevant Restricted Period shall be extended by a period equal to the length of time from the commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation shall be cured by Executive to the satisfaction of Company. Executive hereby expressly

Page 9 of 16


 

consents to the jurisdiction of any court within the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the purpose of seeking a preliminary or permanent injunction as described above in Section 12(d), and agrees to accept service of process by certified mail return receipt requested relating to any such proceeding. Company may supply a copy of Section 12 of this Agreement to any future or prospective employer of Executive or to any person to whom Executive has supplied information if Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that Executive has violated or will violate such Section.
     13. Prior Agreements. Executive represents to Company that there are no restrictions, agreements or understandings, oral or written, to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound that prevent or make unlawful Executive’s execution or performance of this Agreement.
     14. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Indulgences, Etc. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.
          (b) Controlling Law. This Agreement and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement (including, without limitation, provisions concerning limitations of actions), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding any conflict-of-laws doctrines of such jurisdiction to the contrary, and without the aid of any canon, custom or rule of law requiring construction against the draftsman.
          (c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made and received only when personally delivered, on the day specified for delivery when deposited with a recognized national or regional courier service for delivery to the intended addressee or two (2) days following the day when deposited in the United States mails, first class postage prepaid, addressed as set forth below:

None of the rights or obligations of Executive hereunder may be assigned or delegated, except that in the event of Executive’s death or Disability, any rights of Executive hereunder shall be transferred to Executive’s estate or personal representative, as the case may be. Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part to any one or more Affiliates or successors, but no such assignment shall relieve Company of its obligations to Executive if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.
          (e) Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.
          (f) Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.
          (g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by Company, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent

Page 11 of 16


 

with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the application of any generally applicable Company policy, practice, plan or the terms of any manual or handbook applicable to Company’s Executives generally, except to the extent the foregoing directly conflict with this Agreement, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
          (h) Section Headings. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.
          (i) Number of Days. Except as otherwise provided herein, for example, in the context of vacation days, in computing the number of days for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday on which federal banks are or may elect to be closed, then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such holiday.
          (j) Gender, Etc. Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context indicates is appropriate.
          (k) Dispute Resolution. In the event of any disagreement of any nature whatsoever between the parties to this Employment Agreement in any way relating to this Employment Agreement, except for the ability of the parties to seek a preliminary or permanent injunction as described above, which need not be discussed between the parties or arbitrated, the parties shall meet to attempt to resolve such disagreement. In the event of their failure to do so within fifteen (15) days or such longer period of time as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties, either party may serve notice in writing upon the other party requesting arbitration, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute. Any arbitration under this Section shall be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or such other place as shall be mutually agreed to by the parties, and conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth hereafter and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Section, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date of this Agreement. Company shall have the right and remedy to ask the arbitrator to require Executive to account for any pay over to Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of Section 12, and Executive shall account for and pay over such amounts to Company upon the arbitrator’s determination thereof.
               (i) Any arbitration under this Section shall be before an arbitrator who shall be experienced in the area of employment law. The arbitrator shall be selected by the parties from lists provided by the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree to exchange all relevant documents prior to any hearing, and further agree that any dispute over such exchange may be submitted to the arbitrator for decision, which decision shall be binding on the parties. The parties further agree to exchange hearing exhibits and designations of witnesses to be called at the hearing at least ten (10) calendar days before any hearing as a party may not offer at the hearing as part of its direct case any witness, evidence or document not so disclosed, unless such witness(es), evidence or document(s) became available and/or known to the party who wishes to introduce such witness(es), evidence and/or document(s) within the ten

Page 12 of 16


 

(10) calendar days prior to the arbitration, and such witness(es), evidence or document(s) is immediately provided to the arbitrator and the other party, or unless the evidence is for rebuttal or impeachment purposes and its need was not anticipated or foreseen before the hearing.
               (ii) Within 60 days of the production of all documents, evidence and witness list as outlined in the preceding section, the arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration hearing. Each party will have one day to present its case, unless, upon request the arbitrator determines that more or less time is appropriate. Within 30 days of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall render a decision in writing to each party.
               (iii) Any arbitration award must (i) be rendered in accordance with applicable law as described in this Employment Agreement and (ii) be set forth in a written decision which sets forth the reasons (including, without limitation, the conclusions of fact and/or law) upon which such award is rendered. Judgment upon an arbitration award may be rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction or application may be made to any such state or federal court of competent jurisdiction for judicial acceptance of an order to enforcement of an arbitration award, as the case may be. Any arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties. Once an issue has been arbitrated pursuant hereto, the decision of the arbitrator shall be res judicata with respect to such issue.
               (iv) The arbitrator shall have the power to issue subpoenas compelling testimony and/or the production of documents from any person whether or not a party hereto, which subpoenas shall be enforceable in all courts of competent jurisdiction in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In addition, the arbitrator and attorney-of-record shall have the power to request through the above-mentioned courts of competent jurisdiction the taking of depositions from any person, not a party or a director, officer, executive, employee or agent of a party, who cannot be subpoenaed or is unable to attend the arbitration, whose testimony the arbitrator deems both important and relevant to the resolution of the issues presented for arbitration.
               (v) The cost of the arbitration and all attorney fees shall be borne by the parties in such proportion as the arbitrator shall direct, with such arbitrator to give due consideration to the fault of the parties.
               (vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties need not arbitrate any request for preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, such relief may be brought by either party in any state or federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Such litigation will toll the Restricted Periods beginning on the alleged date of Executive’s violation until the date the dispute is resolved.
          (l) Jurisdiction of Courts. Any legal suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to Sections 11 or 12 of this Agreement may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and each of the parties hereto waives any objection which party may now or hereafter have to such venue of any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation, and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation shall be effective against any party if given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any other means of mail which requires a signed receipt,

Page 13 of 16


 

postage prepaid, mailed to such party as herein provided. If for any reason such service of process by mail is ineffective, then Company shall be deemed to have appointed Jodi T. Plavner, Esquire, Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP, 1650 Arch Street, 22nd Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, as the authorized agent of Company to accept and acknowledge, on behalf of Company, service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any jurisdiction other than Pennsylvania.
          (m) Survival. All provisions of this agreement which by their terms survive the termination of Executive’s employment with Company, including without limitation the covenants of Executive set forth in Sections 11 and 12 and the obligations of Company to make any post-termination payments under this Agreement, shall survive termination of Executive’s employment by Company and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their terms.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed and delivered this Agreement in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as of the date first above written.

Dear Amy,
This Retainer Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the terms of employment by and between TRM Corporation (the “Company”) and Amy B. Krallman (“you”, the “Executive”) as of March 20, 2006 (the “Effective Date”).
1.   Employment Agreement
  1.1   Employment
 
  (a)   You will hold the position of Senior Vice President and Corporate Counsel of the Company and perform those duties as are generally associated with such position. You will report to the President & Chief Executive Officer. You also agree to perform such acts and duties as the President & Chief Executive Officer may reasonably direct, to comply with all applicable policies and procedures of the Company, and to devote such time, energy and skill to your assignment as the President & Chief Executive Officer considers reasonably necessary for the performance of your duties. Your employment hereunder with the Company shall constitute approximately 60% of your employment. It is acknowledged that you are the Partner and Principle of Buyer Team Realty and Team Home Loans, and that your responsibilities to these organizations shall not be considered competition with the Company nor a violation of this Agreement. You and the Company understand and agree that circumstances may arise in which you and the Company may mutually agree to change, in whole or in part, the scope of your responsibilities and the title of your position. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you shall not be precluded from (a) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs or (b) managing your personal investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the proper performance of your duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or compete with the business of the Company.

Notwithstanding the designation of a term for this Agreement, your employment with the Company will be on an “at will” basis with both you and the Company retaining the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, without liability on the part of the Company or any affiliated or related corporation for the termination, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Your last day of employment with the Company is referred to herein as your Separation Date.
 
  1.2   Salary. During the first term of this Agreement, you will be paid the annualized equivalent of $250,000 as base salary pro rated based upon approximately 60% of your time being dedicated to the Company, payable in installments on regular Company paydays.
