Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACI Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 22, 2012. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue

Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence

Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements include post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) terms that fail to achieve vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value due to non-substantive renewal periods, or contain a range of possible non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. As a result of the maturation of certain retail payment engine products, including BASE24, a higher number of software license arrangements in the Americas and Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) operating segments fail to achieve VSOE of fair value for PCS due to non-substantive renewal periods, or contain a range of possible non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues for the software license, PCS and services, if applicable, are considered to be one accounting unit and are therefore recognized ratably over the longer of the contractual service term of PCS term once the delivery of both services has commenced. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually specified amounts, which approximate fair value assigned to the various elements, including software license fees, maintenance fees and services, if applicable.

This allocation methodology has been applied to the following amounts included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations from arrangements for which VSOE of fair value does not exist for each undelivered element (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”) which requires presentation of the components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The standard does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. Also, in December of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12).

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Some of the amendments clarify FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.
