INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 reflects a decrease of $24 when compared to the same period last year. Interest income decreased due to lower invested balances and lower yields on invested balances. Interest expense increased $2,802, due to increased borrowings on the revolving bank credit facility and term loan borrowings to fund the iPay acquisition, which as of September 30, 2010 totaled $240,000, compared to no balance as of September 30, 2009.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes was $18,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with $15,614 for the same period last year. As of the end of the current quarter, the rate of income taxes is estimated at 36.3% of income before income taxes compared to 37.3% as reported for the same quarter in fiscal 2010. The percentage decrease was primarily due to additional benefits received from the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (IRC Section 199). Beginning with the 2010 tax year, this deduction increased from 6% to 9% of qualifying income.

NET INCOME Net Income increased 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the first quarter of fiscal 2011, it was $31,771 or $0.37 per diluted share compared to $26,274, or $0.31 per diluted share in the same period last year.
