EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION
 
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“Euronet” or the “Company”) has recently acquired ownership in the following companies:
 
Asia Electronic Financial Transaction Holdings Limited (“AEFT”), incorporated in Hong Kong, S.A.R. of the People’s Republic of China of which 50% of the shares are owned by our wholly owned subsidiary EFT Services Holdings BV and 50% of the shares are owned by First Mobile Group Holding (“FMG”). Subsequent to the acquisition of its ownership interest in the first quarter of 2002, Euronet determined the business opportunities insufficient to support the required investment. We have no investment or continuing financial or operational obligations related to AEFT or FMG.
 
Europlanet a.d. (“Europlanet”), incorporated in the Federal Republic of Serbia, of which 36% of the shares are owned by our wholly owned subsidiary EFT Services Holdings BV, 34% by Komercijalna Banka and 30% by Arius a.d. Europlanet was formed on March 25, 2002, with a cash investment and contributions of licensed software by Komercijalna Banka; contributions of software, hardware, lease rights and certain contract rights by Arius a.d.; and contributions of certain software by the Company. During the first twelve months of operation of Europlanet, Komercijalna Banka is committed to contribute an additional $240,000 in monthly installments to cover cash flow requirements of Europlanet. Europlanet was formed to own and/or operate and manage ATM machines and point-of-sale terminals both for themselves and their customer banks. The Company accounts for Europlanet using the equity method of accounting.
 
NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL POSITION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Euronet and subsidiaries have been prepared from the records of the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2002, the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2001, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K.
 
The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
For a description of the accounting policies of the Company, see Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under SFAS 142 goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

5


 
The amortization and non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply upon issuance to all goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS 142, we have performed an evaluation and determined that all intangible assets recorded in our consolidated financial statements comprise only goodwill. We have completed the impairment tests required by SFAS 142 and determined that there is no impairment of goodwill. The goodwill is reported in the Processing Services Segment and in the Germany reporting unit.
 
The application of the provisions of SFAS 142 resulted in a reduction of goodwill amortization expense of $0.3 million for the nine months ended and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in the previous year. At September 30, 2002, the Company had goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.7 million.
 
On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). The adoption of SFAS 143 had no impact to the financial statements.
 
On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations. The application of this statement resulted in the classification and separate financial statement presentation of certain entities as discontinued operations, which are not included in continuing operations.
 
On January 4, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the United States ATM processing business to ALLTEL Information Services, Inc. (“AIS”) in an asset purchase agreement. The United States processing business was owned by the Company’s subsidiary EFT Network Services, LLC and was commonly known as “DASH” or the “DASH network.” DASH was accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS 144 and, accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and related notes for all periods shown reflect discontinued operations accounting. Related assets and liabilities have been removed from continuing operations and classified under discontinued operations. (See Note 9—Discontinued Operations to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.)
 
On July 15, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the non-current assets and capital lease obligations of its processing business in France to Atos Origin Services S.A.S. (“Atos”) for 1 euro plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses. France was accounted for as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS 144 and, accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and related notes for all periods shown reflect discontinued operations accounting. Non-current assets and capital lease obligations related to the France business have been removed from continuing operations and classified under discontinued operations. (See Note 9—Discontinued Operation to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.)
 
On April 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). The Statement covers a variety of technical issues that will not have an impact on our financial statements except for the rescission of SFAS 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from the Extinguishment of Debt. SFAS 4 required all gains and losses from early retirement of debt to be aggregated and classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Under SFAS 145, gains and losses from early retirement of debt should not be classified as extraordinary unless the early retirement meets the relevant criteria of APB Opinion 30 (Opinion 30) and such instances are expected to be rare. The rescission of SFAS 4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 with early adoption encouraged. In accordance with SFAS 145, we have classified gains and losses from early retirement of debt as other income for current and prior periods in lieu of classification as an extraordinary item as previously required.
 
There have been no further significant additions to or changes in the accounting policies of the Company since December 31, 2001.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE - BASIC AND DILUTED
 
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, the effect of potential common stock is antidilutive because a net loss exists, accordingly dilutive earnings per share does not assume the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive stock options and warrants were exercised using the treasury stock method, where applicable.
 
Weighted average shares including the potentially dilutive effect of stock options of 1,591,616 and warrants of 423,318 would have amounted to 22,441,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Weighted average shares including the potentially dilutive effect of stock options of 1,928,199 and warrants of 125,686 would have amounted to 25,447,921 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
 
Weighted average shares include the dilutive effect of stock options of 1,017,176 and warrants of 290,235 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Weighted average shares including the potentially dilutive effect of stock options of 2,644,123 and warrants of 179,255 would have amounted to 25,805,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
 
NOTE 5 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Euronet and its subsidiaries operate in two business segments: (1) a segment that provides an independent shared ATM network and other electronic payment processing services to banks, retail and financial institutions (the “Processing Services Segment”); and (2) a segment that produces application software and solutions for payment and transaction delivery systems (the “Software Solutions Segment”). These business segments are supported by a corporate service segment, which provides corporate and other administrative services to the two business segments (the “Corporate Services Segment”). The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. Prior period segment information has been restated to conform to the current period’s presentation.
 
The Company divides the Processing Services Segment into three sub-segments: the “Central European Sub-segment” (including Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece and Romania), the “Western European Sub-segment” (including Germany and the United Kingdom) and the “Other Operations Sub-segment” (including Indonesia, Egypt and unallocated processing center costs).
 
The results from operations from France and DASH have been removed from continuing operations for all reported periods in accordance with SFAS 144. France was in previous filings reported under the Western European Sub-Segment and DASH was previously reported under the Other Operations Sub-segment.
 
The following tables present the segment results of the Company’s operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001.

NOTE 6 - CREDIT FACILITIES
 
Shareholder Credit Facility
 
On June 28, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing a facility of up to $4.0 million from three shareholders as follows: DST Systems, Inc. in the amount of $2.4 million; Hungarian-American Enterprise Fund in the amount of $1.0 million; and Michael J. Brown, the CEO and a Director of the Company, in the amount of $0.6 million. The facility was originally available to be drawn upon until December 28, 2000, and repayment of any draws was due June 28, 2001. The Credit Agreement was amended and renewed for six-month periods on December 28, 2000 and June 28, 2001 and, as a result of such amendments, any amounts drawn on the facility were to be repaid by June 28, 2002.
 
A commitment fee was paid for the initial facility of 100,000 warrants issued pro-rata to the lenders with a warrant strike price set at the average share price, as quoted on Nasdaq for 10 trading days prior to the warrant issue date, less 10%. An additional 100,000, and 100,000 warrants, on the same terms, were issued on January 2, 2001 and June 28, 2001, respectively, for the subsequent extensions of the facility. The exercise price for Michael J. Brown was originally the same as for the other lenders. It was revised by an amendment to the Credit Agreement on January 27, 2002 to be no less than the full trading price of our stock on Nasdaq as of the date of the agreement providing for grant of the warrants, with the amount of the discount that would have resulted from the original terms of the Credit Agreement to be paid to Mr. Brown in cash. Warrants were issuable on similar terms and conditions for each draw on the facility at the rate of 80,000 warrants for each $1.0 million of funds drawn. On May 29, 2001, the Company drew $2.0 million and issued 160,000 warrants in respect of such draw.
 
The exercise prices for the warrants for DST Systems and Hungarian-American Enterprise Fund were $7.00 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2000, $4.12 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of December 29, 2000, $5.92 per share for the 160,000 warrants issued as of May 29, 2001 and $6.70 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2001. The exercise prices for the warrants for Michael J. Brown were $8.25 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2000, $4.12 per share for the 100,000 warrants

13


 
issued as of December 29, 2000, $7.05 per share for the 160,000 warrants issued as of May 29, 2001 and $9.00 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2001.
 
Amounts outstanding under the facility accrued interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly. The Credit Agreement was not renewed in December 2001 and was repaid in full on March 21, 2002.
 
In 2001, two participants in the Credit Agreement, in three separate transactions, elected to exercise a total of 361,000 warrants for an equal number of shares. The total amount of cash received from these transactions was $2.1 million.
 
In May 2002, in two separate transactions, two participants in the Credit Agreement elected to exercise warrants to purchase a total of 99,000 shares. The total amount of cash received from these transactions was $0.7 million.
 
There are no further warrants outstanding related to this credit facility.
 
Letter of Credit
 
On July 9, 2002, a $2.0 million letter of credit was issued to replace a previously issued $5.0 million letter of credit. The $2.0 million letter of credit (the New Letter of Credit) reflects the change in the minimum requirement stipulated by the beneficiary. The $2.0 million letter of credit was fully secured by cash collateral. This cash is classified as Restricted Cash as of September 30, 2002. (See Note 8 – Related Party Transactions to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.)
 
NOTE 7 - EARLY RETIREMENT OF DEBT
 
During February 2001, the Company exchanged 3,000 units (principal amount of 1.5 million euro) of its 12 3/8% senior discount notes (the “Senior Discount Notes”) and 9,000 warrants for 95,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.02 per share. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with a resulting $0.5 million recognized as a gain on such early retirement. The early retirement gain represents the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt and any related warrants retired ($1.1 million) and the fair market value of the common stock issued ($0.6 million), offset by the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs. This transaction was exempt from registration in accordance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).
 
During March 2001, the Company exchanged 8,750 units (principal face amount of 4.5 million euro) of its Senior Discount Notes for two new senior discount notes having an aggregate face amount of $3.0 million (the “New Notes”). The interest, repayment and other terms of the New Notes are identical to those of the Senior Discount Notes for which they were exchanged, except that (i) the principal amount was reduced as indicated in the previous sentence, (ii) the Company has the right to prepay the New Notes at any time at its option by paying the “Accreted Value” of the Notes, and (iii) the New Notes are governed by a new Note Purchase Agreement rather than the indenture under which the Senior Discount Notes were issued; therefore, the New Notes are not covered by any of the provisions of such indenture relating to action by the trustee, voting or maintenance of listing on a stock exchange. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt and issuance of new debt with a resulting $0.7 million recognized as a gain on such early retirement. The early retirement gain represents the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt retired ($3.3 million) and the fair market value of the New Notes issued ($2.5 million), offset by the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs ($0.1 million). This transaction was exempt from registration in accordance with the Act. The Senior Discount Notes that were acquired by the Company in the above exchanges have been retired.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, in seven separate transactions, the Company exchanged 45,600 units (principal amount of 23.3 million euro) of its Senior Discount Notes and 136,800 warrants for 1,596,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.02 per share. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with a resulting $7.4 million recognized as a gain on such early retirement. The early retirement

14


 
gain represents the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt and any related warrants retired ($17.8 million) and the fair market value of the common stock issued ($9.9 million), offset by the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs ($0.4 million). These transactions were exempt from registration in accordance with the Act.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2001, in five separate transactions, the Company exchanged 34,000 units (principal amount of 17.4 million euro) of its Senior Discount Notes and 102,000 warrants for 1,157,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.02 per share. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with a resulting $1.1 million recognized as an extraordinary gain on such early retirement. The early retirement gain represents the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt and any related warrants retired ($13.6 million) and the fair market value of the common stock issued ($12.2 million), offset by the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs ($0.3 million). These transactions were exempt from registration in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Act.
 
These transactions result in a combined gain of $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
For a description of additional debt early retirements during 2001, see Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
During May 2002, in a single transaction, the Company exchanged 2,500 units (principal amount of 1.3 million euro) of its 12 3/8% Senior Discount Notes for 75,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.02 per share. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with a resulting $0.1 million recognized as a loss on such early retirement. The loss on such early retirement is calculated as the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt and any related warrants retired ($1.2 million) and the fair market value of the common stock issued ($1.3 million), offset by the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs. The transaction is exempt from registration in accordance with the Act.
 
During June 2002, in a single transaction, the Company exchanged $0.8 million of the New Notes for 56,483 shares of its common stock, par value $0.02 per share. This exchange has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with no significant gain or loss resulting from such early retirement. The gain or loss on such an early retirement is calculated as the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt and any related warrants retired ($0.8 million) and the fair market value of the common stock issued ($0.8 million). The transaction is exempt from registration in accordance with the Act.
 
The Senior Discount Notes that were acquired by the Company in the above exchanges have been retired.
 
On July 19, 2002, the Company exercised its right to partially redeem its 12 3/8% Senior Discount Notes. The Company redeemed 17,700 Senior Discount Notes (principal amount of 9.0 million euro) for $9.7 million cash plus accrued interest from July 1, 2002 through July 18, 2002. This partial redemption has been accounted for as an early retirement of debt with approximately $0.8 million recognized as a loss on such early retirement. The loss on such an early retirement is calculated as the difference between the allocated carrying value of the debt ($9.0 million), the write-off of the allocated unamortized deferred financing costs ($0.1 million), and the cash paid ($9.7 million). The cash payment included an early redemption premium of approximately 6% of the principle amount as defined in the Senior Discount Notes indenture. No warrants associated with these units were repurchased or otherwise retired in this transaction.
 
As of July 1, 2002, the Company may at any time exercise its right to partially or fully redeem the Senior Discount Notes for cash without restriction. Any redemption is subject to an early redemption premium as defined in the Senior Discount Notes indenture. The early redemption premium decreases throughout the term of the Senior Discount Notes.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
In January 2001, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Loan Agreement under which it borrowed an aggregate of $0.5 million from Michael J. Brown, the CEO and a Director of the Company, to fund transactions on its Czech Republic ATM network. Amounts advanced under this loan agreement mature nine months from the date an advance was made, but were extended for a second six-month period. The loans were unsecured. Amounts advanced bore interest of 10% per annum. In January 2002, the loan of $0.5 million and related interest were paid in full.
 
In 2000, Michael J. Brown, the CEO and a Director of the Company, pledged approximately $4.0 million of marketable securities (not including any common stock of the Company) that he owns to obtain the release to the Company of cash collateral in the amount of $4.8 million held by a bank providing cash to the Company’s ATM network in Hungary. No consideration was payable for providing this security. On March 14, 2002, a letter of credit was obtained by the Company in the amount of $5.0 million, which replaced the above security pledge by Michael J. Brown and a related $0.8 million letter of credit supported by a certificate of deposit that had been obtained for the same purpose. The $5.0 million letter of credit has subsequently been replaced by a new letter of credit for $2.0 million. (See Note 6 – Credit Facilities to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.)
 
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded $0.1 million in revenue related to CashNet Telecommunications Egypt SAE (“CashNet”), a 10% owned affiliate, with respect to a data processing and technical services agreement. CashNet was formed to own and/or operate and manage ATM machines and point of sale terminals for both their own account and for the account of customer banks. The Company currently monitors and processes transactions for all CashNet ATMs. The Company accounts for CashNet using the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over the business activities of CashNet.
 
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded $0.1 million in revenue related to Europlanet.
 
NOTE 9 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Sale of US Processing Services Business
 
On January 4, 2002, the Company concluded an asset purchase agreement with AIS, whereby EFT Network Services, LLC (also known as DASH) sold substantially all of its assets to AIS for $6.8 million in cash. Of this amount, $0.7 million is being held in escrow for a period of one year under the terms of a separate escrow agreement to provide for the payment of any damages that might arise from any breach of the representations and warranties contained in the asset purchase agreement and certain post-closing adjustments. DASH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Euronet USA Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. DASH, Euronet USA and AIS are parties to the asset purchase agreement. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.8 million related to this transaction. As discussed in Note 10, the Company entered into a separate software license agreement with AIS on January 4, 2002.
 
Sale of France Processing Services Business
 
On July 15, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the non-current assets and capital lease obligations of its processing business in France to Atos. Non-current assets and capital lease obligations related to the France business have been removed from continuing operations and classified under discontinued operations. The Company incurred a loss on disposal of the France business of $0.1 million.
 
As a result of the above, the results from operations from France and DASH have been removed from continuing operations for all reported periods in accordance with SFAS 144. France was previously reported under the Western European Sub-segment and DASH was previously reported under the Other Operations Sub-segment. The following pro-forma financial statements show balance sheet extracts as of September 30, 2002 and

NOTE 10 - SIGNIFICANT SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
 
On January 4, 2002, the Company entered into a significant software license agreement (the “License Agreement”) whereby Euronet USA granted AIS a nonexclusive license to use, distribute and develop versions 1.5 and 2.2 of Euronet USA’s GoldNet ATM Network Processing Software (“GoldNet Software”). The License Agreement includes certain territorial and other restrictions on the use and distribution of the GoldNet Software

17


by AIS. Under the terms of the License Agreement, AIS agreed to pay license and maintenance fees of $5.0 million. In January 2002, 50% of the license fees were received, with remaining payments of 40% upon acceptance of the software, and 10% twelve months from the date of the agreement, subject to completion of certain maintenance and support services. The License Agreement does not restrict the ability of Euronet USA to continue to sell its GoldNet Software, except that Euronet USA may not sell to former DASH customers or new AIS network processing customers. Revenue from the license fee and related services will be recognized under the percentage of completion contract accounting method. The Company recognized $0.6 million in license and services revenues associated with the License Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and approximately $0.2 million in maintenance revenues for the same period. The Company recognized $3.5 million in license and services revenues associated with the License Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and approximately $0.2 million in maintenance revenues for the same period. The Company expects to recognize approximately 75% to 80% of the fees in revenues during 2002 with the remaining to be recognized in 2003.
 
NOTE 11 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 
On February 6, 2002 the Company entered into seven subscription agreements for the sale of an aggregate of 625,000 new common shares of the Company. These agreements were signed with certain accredited investors in transactions exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to exemptions under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Act. The purchase price of each share was $20.00. The aggregate amount of proceeds to the Company from the private placement was $12.5 million. Net proceeds after $0.8 million in commission fees, legal fees, and Nasdaq registration and filing fees were approximately $11.7 million.
 
NOTE 12 - LOSS CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company recognized a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 related to the sublease of excess office space. The Company subleased approximately 5,400 square feet in August 2002 to an unrelated third-party under a non-cancelable sublease agreement at lease rates lower than those being paid by the Company for the space.
 
The Company has additional excess space, which it is considering subleasing to a third-party. In the event that this excess space is subleased to a third-party, the excess of the total costs that will be incurred related to the subleased space over the revenue received on the space will be recognized as a loss at that time. The potential loss could range from nil to $0.3 million depending on a number of factors including term of the sublease, the amount of space subleased, and current market conditions at the time the sublease is executed. No loss contingency has been recognized related to the possible sublease of the remaining space.
 
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On November 6, 2002, the Company was advised by a potential acquisition target that another potential acquirer had been selected for further purchase negotiations. For the three months ending December 31, 2002, the Company will recognize approximately $0.2 million of expense for costs previously capitalized that were directly associated with the Company’s acquisition efforts. These costs are included in other assets as of September 30, 2002.
 
NOTE 14 - RECLASSIFICATION
 
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior periods’ unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform to the current periods’ unaudited consolidated financial statements presentation.
 
As described in Note 3, gains and losses from the early retirement of debt were previously classified as extraordinary items (net of tax). In accordance with SFAS 145, these amounts have been reclassified and reported as other income (pre-tax).

18


 
As described in Note 9, France and DASH have been removed from continuing operations and classified under discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities associated with the sale have been classified under assets and liabilities from discontinued operations. All operating amounts, ATM counts, transaction numbers and statistics reported in this filing exclude France and DASH.
 
ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. is a leading provider of secure electronic financial transaction solutions. We provide financial payment middleware, financial network gateways, outsourcing, and consulting services to financial institutions, retailers and mobile phone operators. We operate an independent automated teller machine, or ATM, network of 2,951 ATMs in Europe (and until January 2002 in the United States). In addition, through our software subsidiary Euronet USA Inc., we offer a suite of integrated software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems. We offer comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation, outsourced ATM, POS, and debit card management and transaction software. Our principal customers are banks and other companies such as mobile phone operators that require electronic financial transaction processing services. With nine offices in Europe, one in Indonesia, one in Egypt and two in the United States, Euronet serves clients in more than 60 countries around the world. We changed our name from Euronet Services Inc. to Euronet Worldwide, Inc. in August 2001.
 
We currently operate in two business segments: the “Processing Services Segment” provides secure processing of electronic financial transactions, and the “Software Solutions Segment” produces application software for the processing of secure electronic financial transactions. The Processing Services Segment comprises our proprietary ATM network, outsourced management of ATMs for banks, and various new processing services that we provide for banks and mobile phone companies through our ATM network and managed ATMs, such as mobile phone recharge services. Our Software Solutions Segment provides transaction processing software solutions to banks that permit them to operate ATMs and point-of-sale terminals and process financial transactions from those devices, interactive voice response systems, the Internet, and mobile phones.
 
Our management divides the Processing Services Segment into three geographic sub-segments:
 
 
 
Central European Sub-segment (including Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece and Romania)
 
 
Western European Sub-segment (including Germany and the United Kingdom)
 
 
Other Operations Sub-segment (including Indonesia, Egypt and unallocated processing center costs)
 
We also operate a “Corporate Services Segment” that provides the Company’s two business segments with corporate and other administrative services that are not directly identifiable with them. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate performance based on profit or loss from continuing operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.
 
On January 4, 2002, we sold substantially all of the assets of our ATM processing business in the United States, known as DASH, to ALLTEL Information Services, Inc. (“AIS”) for $6.8 million in cash. AIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of ALLTEL Corporation. Approximately $0.7 million of the proceeds is being held in escrow for a period of one year under the terms of a separate escrow agreement to cover certain post-closing adjustments and any damages that might arise from breach of the representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement with AIS. We recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.8 million related to this transaction.
 
On July 15, 2002, we sold substantially all of the non-current assets and capital lease obligations of our processing business in France to Atos. Non-current assets and capital lease obligations related to the France

19


 
business have been removed from continuing operations and classified under discontinued operations. We incurred a loss on disposal of the France business of $0.1 million.
 
In previous filings, we reported France under the Western European Sub-segment and DASH under the Other Operations Sub-segment. All operating amounts, ATM counts, transaction numbers and statistics reported in this filing exclude France and DASH.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
 
PROCESSING SERVICES SEGMENT
 
Revenues
 
Total segment revenues increased 23% or $2.6 million to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and increased 20% or $6.6 million to $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues is due primarily to the significant increase in transaction volumes and an increase in the number of ATMs that we operated during these periods. We operated 2,351 ATMs as of September 30, 2001 and processed 15.1 million transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 41.6 million transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2002, we increased our ATM network by 600 ATMs, or 26%, from September 30, 2001 to a total of 2,951 ATMs. We own 82% of this total number of ATMs, while banks and other financial institutions own the remaining 18%, which we operate through management agreements. Transactions on machines owned or operated by us totaled 22.3 million

20


 
transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of 7.2 million transactions, or 48% over the three months ended September 30, 2001. Transactions on machines owned or operated by us totaled 56.5 million transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of 14.9 million transactions, or 36%, over the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in transaction growth is greater than the increase in ATM growth and revenue growth. During this period, there was an increase in ATMs that we operate under ATM management agreements relative to ATMs we own. The revenues generated from ATM management agreements often have a substantial monthly recurring fee as compared to a per transaction fee for our owned ATMs. This recurring fee generates both fixed and variable revenue components. As a result, transactions on these machines can increase faster than the revenues.
 
Revenues for the Central European Sub-segment increased 9% or $0.6 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues is largely the result of an increase in the number of ATMs operated by us from 1,481 at September 30, 2001 to 1,744 at September 30, 2002, and increased transaction volumes. Our ability to continue to increase revenues at this rate depends on our ability to sign new contracts to operate more ATMs for banks and financial institutions.
 
Revenues for the Central European Sub-segment increased 10% or $1.8 million to $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues is largely the result of an increase in the number of ATMs operated by us from 1,481 at September 30, 2001 to 1,744 at September 30, 2002, and increased transaction volumes.
 
In the Czech Republic, beginning November 1, 2002 a new, single intra–regional interchange fee for ATM cash withdrawals was imposed. For VISA cards the new fee is $1.00 and for Europay cards the new fee is 1.20 euro. Prior to this change, we were averaging fees of approximately $1.40 per cash withdrawal in the Czech Republic. This intra-regional interchange fee reduction is expected to reduce revenues for our deployed machines in the Czech Republic by approximately $0.8 million in 2003 based upon forecasted 2003 transaction levels. Additionally, the transactions per ATM in the Czech Republic have trended downward during 2002 by approximately 15% from the first as compared to the third quarter, partially due to the increase in the interchange fee in late 2001 as well as certain competitive and other economic conditions. We are actively monitoring this trend and will take appropriate action, including deinstallation of any under-performing ATMs, as conditions and further trends warrant in order to protect deployment margins.
 
Revenues for the Western European Sub-segment increased 38% or $1.9 million to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues is largely the result of an increase in the number of ATMs we operate in this region from 870 at September 30, 2001 to 1,121 at September 30, 2002, and increased transaction volumes. During this period we also increased transaction fees in certain markets.
 
Revenues for the Western European Sub-segment increased 28% or $4.1 million to $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues is largely the result of an increase in the number of ATMs we operate in this region from 870 at September 30, 2001 to 1,121 at September 30, 2002, and increased transaction volumes. During this period we also increased transaction fees in certain markets.
 
Of the net 251 ATMs added from September 30, 2001 to September 30, 2002, to the network in Western Europe 240 ATMs were located in the United Kingdom. Our increase in rollout of ATMs in the United Kingdom during 2001 and 2002 was based on the ability to charge a transaction fee directly to the person using the ATMs in this market. We have stopped the further rollout of ATMs in 2002 in the United Kingdom after reaching a level of 745 ATMs. Future ATM deployment in the United Kingdom depends on our ability to find additional sites for ATMs that are capable of highly profitable transaction levels. Some machines we have installed recently in the United Kingdom had transaction levels that are lower than those of machines installed earlier.
 
Although these ATMs are profitable, they are generating returns that are lower than we expected. We have implemented a number of responses to this situation, including using lower cost machines at these sites, reducing our rollout of new machines and relocating machines with low transaction volumes in the United Kingdom. The

21


 
decision to reduce our rate of rollout of ATMs and the continuing weakness of performance of certain ATMs is expected to result in a decrease in growth in our revenues and operating profits in this market.
 
Revenues for the Other Operations Sub-segment were $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenues in the nine-month periods is mainly a result of one time set up revenues associated with contracts in Egypt and Indonesia, where we are just beginning operations. We previously reported our revenue from the DASH network under this segment but we sold this network in January 2002 (see Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements). Therefore, no further revenues will be realized in continuing operations from the DASH business for the year 2002.
 
Of total segment revenue, approximately 80% is from ATMs we own for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Of total transactions processed, approximately 82% is attributable to ATMs we own for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. We believe the shift from a largely proprietary, Euronet-owned ATM network to a more balanced mix between proprietary ATMs and customer-owned ATMs is a positive development and will provide higher marginal returns on investments.
 
We generally charge fees for four types of ATM transactions that are currently processed on our ATMs:
 
 
 
cash withdrawals
 
 
balance inquiries
 
 
transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization
 
 
prepaid telecommunication recharges
 
Transaction fees for cash withdrawals vary from market to market but generally range from $0.60 to $2.15 per transaction. Transaction fees for the other three types of transactions are generally substantially less. We include in Processing Services Segment revenues transaction fees payable under the electronic recharge solutions that we sell. Fees for recharge transactions vary substantially from market to market and are based on the specific prepaid solution and the denomination of prepaid hours purchased. Generally, transaction fees vary from $0.40 to $1.80 per prepaid mobile recharge purchase and are shared with the financial institution and the mobile operator. These fees may come under pricing pressure in the future.
 
We have entered into four new outsourcing and/or network participation agreements in the third quarter that have not yet been implemented. We expect these agreements to generate between $4.5 million and $5 million of incremental revenues in 2003. Revenues from these agreements on an annualized basis, once the agreements are fully implemented, are expected to be approximately $6.5 million.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Total segment operating expenses increased 18%, or $1.9 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase is primarily due to increased salaries to support our operational growth during the period.
 
Total segment operating expenses increased 11%, or $3.5 million to $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $32.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase is primarily due to increased salaries to support our operational growth during the period.
 
Operating expenses for the Central European Sub-segment increased 3% or $0.1 million to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and remained unchanged at $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine

22


 
months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in operating expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 is primarily the result of increased salary expenses of $0.1 million.
 
Operating expenses for the Western European Sub-segment increased 18% or $0.9 million to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and increased 21% or $2.8 million to $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in operating expenses was largely the result of increased salary expense of $0.5 million due to increased ATM deployment in the U.K.
 
We have not included France in this segment because we sold substantially all of the non-current assets and capital lease obligations of its processing business in France on July 15, 2002, as further described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Operating expenses for the Other Operations Sub-segment increased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from nil for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Operating expenses increased 53% or $0.7 million to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This is due to an increase in operating expenses in new markets and the European processing center partially offset by increased allocation of switching fees to direct operating expenses in the Central and Western Sub-segments.
 
We have not included the DASH network expenses in this segment because we sold DASH in January 2002 as further described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Direct operating costs in the Processing Services Segment represent costs of goods and services related to processing revenues and consist primarily of:
 
 
 
ATM installation costs
 
 
ATM site rentals
 
 
Costs associated with maintaining ATMs
 
 
ATM telecommunications
 
 
Interest on network cash and cash delivery
 
 
Security services to ATMs
 
These costs increased 11% or $0.8 million to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and increased 7% or $1.5 million to $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to operating the increased number of ATMs mentioned above. Also, allocations within the Euronet operating companies were made to charge the ATM network operations for transaction switching fees and bank connection fees incurred by our central processing center in Budapest. These allocations totaled $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively. These allocations totaled $4.0 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively.

As a percentage of this segment’s revenue, direct operating costs fell from 61% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and decreased from 60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. On a per-ATM basis, the direct operating costs fell 11% from $2,914 per ATM for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $2,583 per ATM for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and decreased from $8,287 per ATM for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $7,097 per ATM for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. On a per-transaction basis, the direct operating costs fell 24% from $0.45 per transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $0.34 per transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and decreased from $0.47 per transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $0.37 per transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Costs per transaction have decreased because of the combination of increasing transaction volumes on existing sites and having a large fixed direct operating cost structure on these sites. Increasing transaction volumes on existing sites that have fixed direct operating expenses decreases our costs per ATM and per transaction. In addition, there was an increase in the number of ATMs that we operate under ATM management agreements, and these ATMs generally have lower direct operating expenses (telecommunications, cash delivery, security, maintenance and site rental).
 
Segment salaries and benefits increased 37% to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and increased 29% to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase reflects the continued expansion of the operations to Western European markets with significantly higher labor costs than Central Europe, as well as increases in staff levels at the processing center, which were required to maintain quality service in line with rising transaction volumes. As a percentage of this segment’s revenue, salaries and benefits increased from 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and increased from 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs allocated to the Processing Services Segment increased by $0.1 million from a negative $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to negative $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This negative balance is due to the allocation of switching fees from selling, general and administrative costs to direct costs for each of the other sub segments. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 50% to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
Depreciation and amortization increased 10% to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and increased 7% to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These increases are due to the new European operations center in Budapest and increased ATMs in service as compared to the previous periods.

Operating Income/(Loss)
 
As a result of the factors discussed above, the Processing Services Segment as a whole improved operating income by $0.7 million as compared to the same three-month period last year, reporting operating income of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to operating income of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The Processing Services Segment improved operating income by $3.1 million as compared to the same nine-month period last year reporting operating income of $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to operating income of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Central European Sub-segment improved operating income by $0.3 million, reporting operating income of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to operating income of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and operating income of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to operating income of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Western European Sub-segment reported operating income of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 up from operating income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and operating income increased 101% to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Other Operations Sub-segment increased its operating loss $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from nil for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and operating losses remained unchanged at $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
We are pursuing new business opportunities in Asia. If we are successful, as we expect to be, in securing required regulatory and other approvals to provide our services there, we will incur start-up expenses in 2003 that will exceed the amount of revenues we generate there for several quarters. Operating expenses are expected to exceed revenues by approximately $1.2 million over the next 12 to 15 months as we commence and expand operations in Asia. Capital expenditures over the same period are expected to be approximately $0.6 million related to these operations. We are exploring methods for limiting losses and capital investments arising from commencement of operations in Asia, including seeking participation in our Asian operations by outside investors.
 
As part of an overall change in our financial budgeting procedures, commencing for the year 2003, we will establish the level of our expenditures for the Processing Services Segment based on “base line” revenue assumptions that take into account only revenues from contracted business, without consideration of any new potential business. We expect that this approach will improve our ability to keep costs in line with revenues.
 
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS SEGMENT
 
Revenues
 
Revenues of the Software Solutions Segment were $4.2 million before inter-segment eliminations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Segment revenues were $13.8 million before inter-segment eliminations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Software revenues are grouped into four broad categories:
 
 
 
Software license fees
 
 
Professional service fees
 
 
Maintenance fees
 
 
Hardware sales
 
Software license fees are the initial fees we charge to license our proprietary application software to customers. We charge professional service fees for providing customization, installation and consulting services to our customers. Software maintenance fees are the ongoing fees we charge for maintenance of our customers’ software products. Hardware sales revenues are derived from the sale of computer products. The components of software solutions revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were:

Software license fees increased $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 from the same period in 2001, and increased $2.8 million to $5.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 from the same period in 2001. These increases are due primarily to license fees that we obtained as part of the software license agreement with AIS (see Note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements). We recognized $0.6 million and $3.5 million of revenues related to the AIS software license agreement during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Approximately $0.4 million of license fees remain to be earned and recognized related to the AIS software license agreement. We believe that the revenues of the Software Solutions Segment will increasingly be derived from our upgraded and new set of software solutions, including our wireless banking solutions.
 
The increase in professional service fees of $0.2 million is due to more billable hours, service and consulting contract work that we performed in connection with the sale and installation of software during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in professional service fees of $1.1 million is due to fewer billable hours, service and consulting contract work that we performed in connection with the sale and installation of software during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Certain professional service fees are bundled in software license contracts and reported as license fees using the percentage of completion method.
 
The increase in maintenance fees of $0.4 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to the same period in 2002 is due to the completion of several large contracts since June 2001, thereby initiating the maintenance aspect of these contracts, partially offset by termination of maintenance contracts by existing customers. Additionally, almost $0.2 million of the increase is due to recognition of the maintenance revenues of the software license agreement with AIS as described in Note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Approximately $0.8 million of maintenance revenues remain to be earned and recognized related to the AIS software license agreement through 2003. We intend to secure long-term revenue streams through multiyear maintenance agreements with existing and new customers.
 
The decrease in hardware sales in 2002 from 2001 is mainly attributed to the timing of hardware sales. Hardware sales are generally sporadic as they are generally an incidental component to our software license and professional services offerings. Hardware sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 includes one significant hardware sale of $0.3 million related to the AIS software license agreement. The cost for this item is included in direct costs as described below.
 
Software Sales Backlog
 
We define “software sales backlog” as fees specified in contracts, which we have executed and for which we expect recognition of the related revenue within one year. At September 30, 2002, the revenue backlog was $3.5 million as compared to $1.5 million at September 30, 2001. This increase resulted principally from increased sales during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and from the AIS software license agreement, which comprises approximately $0.4 million of the balance. There can be no assurance that the contracts included in backlog will actually generate the specified revenues or that the revenues will be generated within the one-year period.

Operating Expenses
 
Software Solutions Segment operating expenses consist primarily of:
 
 
 
Direct operating costs
 
 
Salaries and benefits
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Total segment operating expenses increased $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Total segment operating expenses decreased $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Direct operating costs consist of hardware costs and distributor commissions. The marginal increase in direct operating costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from the three months ended September 30, 2001 is due to an increase in distributor commissions. The increase in direct operating costs of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is due to the cost of the one computer hardware sale as discussed above, partially offset by generally lower distributor commissions.
 
Salary and benefits marginally increased $0.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 from the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, and decreased $1.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 from the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001. During the first quarter of 2001 we reduced our workforce significantly with the primary objective of reducing costs in our Software Solutions Segment to bring them more in line with the anticipated revenue.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is primarily due to increased expenses related to expansion into the Asia Pacific region. Costs decreased $0.2 million to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to our efforts at controlling expenses. Some of the cost reductions in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were one-time credits and incentives that are not expected to continue in the future.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from the nine months ended September 30, 2001 due to the addition of $0.4 million in leasehold improvements in late 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, as well as the addition of $1.0 million in capitalized software development costs during 2001. Depreciation of improvements and amortization of capitalized software development costs was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

27


 
We have made an ongoing commitment to the development, maintenance and enhancement of our products and services. In particular, we invested and will continue to invest in new software products that permit additional features and transactions on our ATM network. In addition, we continue to invest in the ongoing development of products that were recently introduced to the market. Our research and development costs for computer products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Our research and development costs for computer products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed were $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
We capitalize software development costs in accordance with our accounting policy of capitalizing development costs on a product-by-product basis once technological feasibility is established. We capitalized $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $0.1 million capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2001. We capitalized $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $0.3 million capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We establish technological feasibility of computer software products when we complete all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features, and technical performance requirements.
 
Of the total capitalized research and development costs, $0.2 million and $0.1 million were amortized in the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, $0.5 million and $0.2 million were amortized.
 
Operating Income/(Loss)
 
The Software Solutions Segment generated an operating loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and earned operating income of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of the factors discussed above.
 
CORPORATE SERVICES

The reduction of $0.9 million in salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001 is due to workforce reductions during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Because the workforce reductions involved payment of severance equal to several weeks’ salary to most employees, the financial impact of these reductions was greater in the second and subsequent quarters of 2001. Additionally, certain salary incentives are included in 2001.

NON-OPERATING RESULTS
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and decreased to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to a reduction in the Senior Discount Notes as a result of significant debt/equity swaps during 2001 and the partial cash redemption in July 2002, which are more fully described in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Foreign Exchange Gain/(Loss)
 
We had a net foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and a net foreign exchange loss of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to a net foreign exchange gain of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Exchange gains and losses that result from re-measurement of some of our assets and liabilities are recorded in determining net loss. A portion of the assets and liabilities is denominated in euros, including capital lease obligations, notes payable (including the notes issued in our public bond offering), and cash and cash equivalents. It is our policy to attempt to match local currency receivables and payables. The foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities give rise to foreign exchange gains and losses as a result of U.S. dollar to local currency exchange movements.
 
Gain/(Loss) on Early Retirement of Debt
 
We had a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a gain on early retirement of debt of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. We had a loss on early retirement of debt of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a gain on early retirement of debt of $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The 2001 gains were the result of significant notes payable early retirement transactions as described in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the notes payable retired in 2001 had significantly lower market value than the note payables retired in 2002.
 
The Senior Discount Notes that we re-acquired in the above exchanges have been retired. We will consider additional repurchases of our senior discount notes if opportunities arise to complete these transactions on favorable terms.
 
Minority Interest
 
We recorded the minority interest in losses from P. T. Euronet Sigma Nusantara, an Indonesia company. We own 80% of P. T. Sigma Nusantara’s shares.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On January 4, 2002, we sold substantially all of the DASH assets to AIS for $6.8 million in cash. Of this amount, $0.7 million is being held in escrow for a period of one year under the terms of a separate escrow agreement to cover certain post-closing adjustments and any damages that might arise from breach of the representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement with AIS. We recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.8

29


 
million related to this transaction. We reported income from the discontinued operations of DASH of nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and $0.1 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.
 
On July 15, 2002, we sold substantially all of the non-current assets and capital lease obligations of its processing business in France to Atos for 1 euro plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses. A loss on disposal of the France business of $0.1 million was recorded in 2002. The income from France operations reported as discontinued operations was nil for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The income from France operations reported as discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was nil as compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
 
As a result of the above, we have removed the operating results of France and DASH from continuing operations for all reported periods in accordance with SFAS 144. We previously reported France under the Western European Sub-segment and DASH under the Other Operations Sub-segment.
 
Net Income/(Loss)
 
We recorded a net loss of $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2002 from a net loss of $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, as explained above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We financed our historical operations and capital expenditures primarily through the proceeds from the 1998 issue of euro denominated 12 3/8% notes payable, the 1997 public equity offering, equipment lease financing and private placements of equity securities. We have used the net proceeds of these transactions, together with revenues from operations and interest income, to fund aggregate net losses of approximately $127 million, investments in property, plant and equipment of approximately $65.9 million and acquisitions of approximately $24.6 million.
 
At September 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.3 million. We had $3.9 million of restricted cash held as security with respect to cash provided by banks participating in our ATM network, to cover guarantees on financial instruments and as deposits with customs officials.
 
On June 28, 2000 we entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement providing a facility of up to $4.0 million from three shareholders, one of which was Michael J. Brown, Euronet’s CEO and a director. This credit facility was renewed twice and was due and payable on June 28, 2002. We issued 300,000 warrants in conjunction with the issuance and extensions to this facility. On May 29, 2001, we drew $2.0 million and issued an additional 160,000 warrants based on the terms of the credit agreement. The warrant strike price was set at the average share price, as quoted on Nasdaq for 10 trading days prior to the warrant issue date, less 10%. The exercise price for Michael J. Brown was originally the same as for the other lenders. It was revised by an amendment to the Credit Agreement on January 27, 2002 to be no less than the full trading price of our stock on Nasdaq as of the date of the agreement providing for grant of the warrants, with the amount of the discount that would have resulted from the original terms of the Credit Agreement to be paid to Michael J. Brown in cash.
 
The exercise prices for the warrants for the other two shareholders were $7.00 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2000, $4.12 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of December 29, 2000, $5.92 per share for the 160,000 warrants issued as of May 29, 2001 and $6.70 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2001. The exercise prices for the warrants for Michael J. Brown were $8.25 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2000, $4.12 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of December 29, 2000, $7.05 per share for the 160,000 warrants issued as of May 29, 2001 and $9.00 per share for the 100,000 warrants issued as of June 28, 2001.
 
In 2001, two participants in the revolving credit agreement elected to exercise a total of 361,000 warrants for an equal number of shares. We received a total amount of $2.1 million in cash from these transactions.

30


 
In May 2002, two participants in the revolving credit agreement elected to exercise a total of 99,000 warrants for an equal number of shares. We received a total amount of $0.7 million in cash from these transactions.
 
We elected not to renew the credit agreement in December 2001 and, on March 21, 2002, we repaid the outstanding credit facility debt in full. Payment consisted of $2.0 million in principal and interest. As of September 30, 2002, no warrants remain outstanding with respect to this credit facility.
 
In January 2001, we entered into an unsecured credit facility loan agreement under which we borrowed $0.5 million from Michael J. Brown in order to fund transactions on our Czech Republic ATM network. Amounts advanced under this loan agreement mature six months from the date an advance is made, but the amounts were extended for a second six-month period. Amounts advanced bear interest of 10% per annum. In January 2002, we paid in full the loan principal and related interest totaling $0.5 million.
 
In 2000, Michael J. Brown pledged approximately $4.0 million of marketable securities that he owns (not including any of our common stock) in order to obtain the release of cash collateral of $4.8 million held by a bank providing cash to our ATM network in Hungary. We did not have to pay any consideration for this security pledge. On March 14, 2002, we obtained a letter of credit supported by a certificate of deposit for $5.0 million that replaced Michael J. Brown’s security pledge, as well as a related $0.8 million letter of credit and certificate of deposit. The original $5.0 million letter of credit was subsequently reduced to $2.0 million letter of credit as more fully described in Note 6 to the unaudited financial statements.
 
We lease many of our ATMs under capital lease arrangements that expire between 2002 and 2008. The leases bear interest between 8% and 12% per annum. As of September 30, 2002, we owed $10.3 million under these capital lease arrangements. We expect that our capital requirements will continue in the future, although strategies that promote outsourcing and redeployment of under-performing ATMs will reduce some of these requirements. Acquisitions of related ATM businesses and investments in new markets will require additional capital expenditures. Fixed asset purchases for 2002 are currently estimated to be in the range of $9 to $10 million.
 
We are required to maintain ATM hardware and software in accordance with certain regulations and mandates established by local country regulatory and administrative bodies as well as Europay, VISA and Mastercard. Accordingly, we expect additional capital expenditures over the next few years to maintain compliance with these regulations. Upgrades to the ATM software and hardware will also be required on or before 2005 to enable certain “micro–chip” card technology for “Smart Cards.” Our ATM hardware and software will need to be modified to enable the use of “Smart Cards.” We are currently developing a project plan for implementation and delivery and estimating the costs associated with the hardware and software modifications.
 
Effective July 1, 2001, we implemented our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, under which employees have the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions according to specific eligibility and participation requirements. We completed a series of offerings of three months duration with new offerings commencing on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. Under the plan, participating employees are granted options, which immediately vest and are automatically exercised on the final date of the respective offering period. The exercise price of common stock options purchased is the lesser of 85% of the “fair market value” (as defined in the ESPP) of the shares on the first day of each offering or the last date of each offering. The options are funded by participating employees’ payroll deductions or cash payments. Under the provisions of the ESPP, we reserved 500,000 shares of common stock of which we had issued 260,871 shares as of September 30, 2002. This plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, we issued 23,396 shares at a price of $4.28 per share, resulting in proceeds to us of $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, we issued 86,301 shares at an average price of $11.60 per share, resulting in proceeds to us of $1.0 million.
 
In March 2002, we made matching contributions of 9,647 shares of stock in conjunction with our 401(k) employee benefits plan for plan year 2001. Under the terms of this plan, employer-matching contributions consist

31


 
of two parts, referred to as “basic” and “discretionary.” The basic matching contribution is equal to 50% of eligible employee elective salary deferrals between 4% and 6% of participating employee salaries for the plan year. The discretionary matching contribution is determined by our board of directors for a plan year and is allocated in proportion to employee elective deferrals. As of September 30, 2002, total employer matching contributions since inception of the plan has consisted of 25,922 shares under the basic match and 16,275 shares under the discretionary matching contribution.
 
We reduced the total book value of our long term Senior Discount Notes from $46.2 million at September 30, 2001 to $34.0 million at September 30, 2002. We did this through a series of debt-for-debt exchanges, debt-for-equity exchanges, and a partial redemption as more fully described in Note 7 to our September 30, 2002 unaudited consolidated financial statements and in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. Due to market and other factors, we may not be able to continue to successfully implement these exchanges in the future. We are required to commence cash payments of interest on these notes on January 1, 2003. At current debt levels, we will be required to make approximately $2.1 million in interest payments on a semi-annual basis beginning January 1, 2003. The full principal balance of these notes will be due and payable on July 1, 2006.
 
We have noncancelable operating rental leases for office space which expire over the next 2 to 8 years. Future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating leases are approximately $2.1 million for 2003, $1.9 million for 2004, $1.6 million for 2005, $1.5 million for 2006, $1.4 million for 2007 and $1.7 million thereafter.
 
We have noncancelable purchase obligations for certain computer equipment. This computer equipment has not been received and therefore no liability has been recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2002. The total purchase obligation is approximately $0.6 million.
 
We have no other significant off-balance sheet items.
 
Based on our current business plan and financial projections, we expect to improve operating income and generate net cash inflows from our operating activities in 2003. In our Processing Services Segment, we anticipate that increased transaction levels in our ATM network will result in additional revenues without an increase in expenses at the same rate. In addition, we expect to further expand our ATM outsourcing services and offer new value-added services, which will provide continued revenue growth without significantly increasing direct operating expenses or capital investments. In the Software Solutions Segment, we believe our operating costs are now more in line with anticipated revenues. We believe that certain asset sales and cash and cash equivalents will provide us with sufficient capital to meet current and future cash requirements. We will continue our policy of assessing opportunities for additional debt and equity financing as they arise, and will pursue any such opportunities if we think they can contribute to fulfilling our financial and strategic business objectives, particularly if attractive acquisition opportunities present themselves.
 
BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $15.3 million at September 30, 2002 from $8.8 million at December 31, 2001 primarily due to the following activity:
 
 
 
cash flow from operations of $8.5 million
 
 
net proceeds from the sale of DASH of $5.8 million as described in Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements
 
 
net proceeds from the private placement of equity in February 2002 of $11.7 million as described in Note 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements
 
 
net proceeds from exercise of stock options, warrants and employee share purchases of $5.1 million
 
 
offset by the cash purchase of $6.4 million of fixed assets and other long-term assets
 
 
offset by the purchase of CDs to secure standby letters of credit of $2.0 million
 
 
offset by debt and lease repayments of $16.0 million

32


 
Restricted cash
 
Restricted cash increased to $3.9 million at September 30, 2002 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2001. The majority of restricted cash is held as security with respect to cash provided by banks participating in our ATM network. The increase is due to the pledge of cash to purchase a $2.0 million surety bond as cash collateral for the Hungarian ATM network, to replace Michael J. Brown’s $4.0 million security pledge and a related $0.8 million certificate of deposit previously obtained for the same purpose.
 
Trade accounts receivable
 
Trade accounts receivable decreased to $7.7 million at September 30, 2002 from $8.9 million at December 31, 2001 primarily due to improved collections.
 
Assets from discontinued operations
 
Assets from discontinued operations represent the net assets for France and DASH as of December 31, 2001. The decrease to nil as of September 30, 2002 results from the sale of substantially all of France’s and DASH’s assets as discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Property, plant and equipment
 
Net property, plant and equipment increased to $30.1 million at September 30, 2002 from $29.1 million at December 31, 2001. This increase results from fixed asset purchases in excess of depreciation.
 
Intangible assets
 
Net intangible assets increased to $1.7 million at September 30, 2002 from $1.6 million at December 31, 2001. The intangible asset is goodwill related to the 1999 acquisition of SBK, a German ATM company. The increase from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002 is primarily due to remeasurement of assets due to foreign exchange rate movement.
 
Other assets
 
Other assets marginally decreased to $3.0 million at September 30, 2002 from $3.3 million at December 31, 2001 due primarily to the capitalization of certain financing and other deferred costs of $0.5 million, offset by the amortization of capitalized software development costs of $0.4 million.
 
Current liabilities
 
Current liabilities decreased to $20.4 million at September 30, 2002 from $23.6 million at December 31, 2001 due to the following activity:
 
 
 
the $2.0 million repayment of the shareholder credit facility discussed in Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements
 
 
decreases in trade accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $1.6 million
 
 
offset by an increase in the current portion of capital lease obligations of $0.4 million
 
Liabilities from discontinued operations
 
Liabilities from discontinued operations represent the net liabilities for France and DASH as of December 31, 2001. The decrease to nil as of September 30, 2002 results from the sale of substantially all of France’s and DASH’s liabilities as discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

33


 
Capital leases
 
Total capital lease obligations including current installments decreased to $10.3 million at September 30, 2002 from $12.0 million at December 31, 2001. This results from the excess of lease payments of $4.1 million over new capital lease obligations of $2.4 million. The new capital leases are generally for a term of 3 to 5 years.
 
Notes payable
 
Notes payable decreased to $34.0 million at September 30, 2002 from $38.1 million at December 31, 2001. This results from the following activity (in thousands):
 
Balance at December 31, 2001
  
$
38,146
 
Unrealized foreign exchange loss (euro vs. U.S. dollar)
  
 
4,413
 
Accretion of notes payable interest
  
 
2,482
 
Early retirement of debt (see Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements)
  
 
(11,061
)
    


Balance at September 30, 2002
  
$
33,980
 
    


 
Total Stockholders’ Equity/(Deficit)
 
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $7.4 million at September 30, 2002 from a deficit of $7.7 million at December 31, 2001. This results from the following activity:
 
 
 
$3.7 million in net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
 
 
$18.6 million in proceeds from the private placement of equity, the exercise of options and warrants, and employee stock purchases
 
 
$0.2 million decrease in the accumulated comprehensive loss
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
For details of critical accounting policies please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2001, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K.
 
IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 146), “Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has set forth in the EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The scope of SFAS 146 also includes (1) costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease and (2) termination benefits that employees who are involuntarily terminated receive under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract. SFAS 146 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 146 on results of operations and financial position.

These risks and other risks are described elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Operational Risk; Security
 
Our business involves the operation and maintenance of a sophisticated computer network and telecommunications connections with banks, financial institutions and mobile operators. This, in turn, requires the maintenance of computer equipment and infrastructure, including telecommunications and electrical systems, and the integration and enhancement of complex software applications. There are certain operational risks inherent in this type of business that can require temporary shut-down of part or all of our processing systems, including failure of electrical supply, failure of computer hardware and software errors. All of our ATMs other than the ones in Germany are operated through our processing center in Budapest, so any operational problem there may have a significant adverse impact on the operation of our network generally.
 
We have experienced operations and computer development staff and have created redundancies and procedures, particularly in our Budapest processing center, to mitigate these risks. However, they cannot be eliminated entirely. Any technical failure that prevents operation of our systems for a significant period of time will prevent us from processing transactions during that period of time and will directly and adversely affect our revenues and financial results.
 
Our ATM network systems process electronic financial transactions using information that is read by ATMs or point-of-sale terminals from bank debit and credit cards, or that our customers input into our systems for mobile

35


phone recharge services. We capture, transmit, handle and store this sensitive bank card information in performing services for our customers. In addition, our software is designed to permit our customers to operate electronic financial transaction networks similar to our network, so our software is used in handling this type of sensitive information.
 
These businesses involve certain inherent security risks, in particular the risk of electronic interception and theft of the information for use in fraudulent card transactions. We have incorporated industry standard encryption technology and processing methodology into our systems and software to maintain high levels of security. Although this technology and methodology mitigates security risks, they cannot be eliminated entirely as criminal elements apply increasingly sophisticated technology to attempt to obtain unauthorized access to the information handled by ATM and electronic financial transaction networks.
 
Any breach in our security systems could result in the perpetration of fraudulent financial transactions for which we may be found liable. We are insured against various risks, including theft and negligence, but our insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions and limitations that may leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from security breaches.
 
In addition to electronic fraud issues, theft and vandalism of ATMs presents risks for our ATM business. We install ATMs at sites that are high flow traffic sites and are exposed to theft and vandalism. Vandalism during the year 2001 increased in some of our markets, particularly in Hungary where a series of incidents were attributed to an organized gang that we believe has been apprehended. Although we are insured against these risks, deductibles, exclusions or limitations in our insurance coverage may leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from theft or vandalism of ATMs. In addition, we have experienced increases in claims under our insurance, which has increased our insurance premiums.
 
Foreign Exchange Exposure
 
In the three months ended September 30, 2002, 67% of our revenues were generated in Poland, Hungary, the United Kingdom and Germany as compared to 67% in the three months ended September 30, 2001. In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, 64% of our revenues were generated in Poland, Hungary, the United Kingdom and Germany as compared to 66% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease is due to the overall increase in revenues for our operations, including in these four countries. In Hungary and Poland, the majority of revenues received are denominated in the Hungarian forint and Polish zloty, respectively. However, the majority of our foreign currency denominated contracts in both countries are linked to either inflation or the retail price index. In the United Kingdom and Germany, 100% of the revenues received are denominated in the British pound and the euro, respectively. Although a significant portion of our expenditures in these countries are still made in or denominated in U.S. dollars, we are striving to achieve more of our expenses in local currencies to match our revenues.
 
We estimate that a 10% depreciation in foreign exchange rates of the euro, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar would have the combined effect of a $1.5 million decrease in the reported net loss. This effect was estimated by segregating revenues and expenses by the U.S. dollar, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty, British pounds, and euro and then applying a 10% currency devaluation to the non-U.S. dollar amounts. We believe this quantitative measure has inherent limitations. It does not take into account any governmental actions or changes in either customer purchasing patterns or our financing or operating strategies.
 
As a result of continued European economic convergence, including the increased influence of the euro as opposed to the U.S. dollar on the Central European currencies, we expect that the currencies of the markets where we invest will fluctuate less against the euro than against the dollar. Accordingly, we believe that our euro denominated debt provides, in the medium to long term, for a closer matching of assets and liabilities than would dollar-denominated debt.

36


 
Inflation and Functional Currencies
 
Generally, the countries we operate in have experienced low and stable inflation in recent years. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency. Although Croatia has maintained relatively stable inflation and exchange rates, the functional currency of our Croatian subsidiary is the U.S. dollar due to the significant level of U.S. dollar denominated revenues and expenses. Due to these factors, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in each of the countries where we operate.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The estimated fair value of our notes payable at September 30, 2002 was estimated to be $36.3 million compared to a carrying value of $34.0 million. A 1% increase from prevailing interest rates at September 30, 2002 would result in a decrease in fair value of notes payable by approximately $1.1 million. Fair values were determined based on the current early redemption premium of approximately 6% of face value as defined in the note agreement and as evidenced by the recent redemption in July 2002.
 
First Interest Repayment
 
Beginning January 1, 2003, interest payments of approximately 2.2 million euro (estimated $2.1 million as of September 30, 2002) will be payable semi-annually on our outstanding 12 3/8% senior debt. Payment dates will be January 1 and July 1, with the final interest payment due on July 1, 2006. Because the bond interest is payable in euro, foreign currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the euro may result in gains or losses which, in turn, may increase or decrease the amount of U.S. dollar equivalent interest paid. We currently anticipate making these interest payments from earnings denominated in local currencies in our European markets. As a result, it may not be necessary to hedge these expected cash payments in U.S. dollars, since the source of funds used for payments would already be in euro or euro-linked denominations. Throughout 2002, we will actively monitor our potential need to hedge future bond interest payments, and if required, we will initiate hedging strategies to minimize foreign currency losses resulting from payments made from U.S. dollars.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.
 
Since the date of the evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.

Exhibit 10.1 EURONET LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN (As Amended Effective September 13, 2002) 1. Purpose of Plan. The purpose of the Euronet Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to (i) increase the ownership of common stock of Euronet Services Inc. (the "Company") by those key employees or independent consultants who are primarily responsible for the continued growth, development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) attract and retain such employees and consultants and reward them for the continued profitable performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board") on December 17, 1996. Certain stock option grants were made to employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries in agreements made prior to the date of adoption of this Plan ("Prior Grants"). This Plan is intended to incorporate all such grants which shall, from the date the grantees under such grants so acknowledge, be governed by this Plan. 2. Definitions. The following definitions are applicable herein: "Adoption Date" -- December 17, 1996, the date on which the original version of this Plan was adopted by the Board. "Award" -- individually or collectively, Options granted hereunder. "Board" -- the Board of Directors of the Company. "Company" -- Euronet Services Inc., acting for purposes of this plan through the Board. The term "Company" as used herein shall also include any successor to the Company as provided in Section 9.6 of this Plan. "Date of Grant" -- the date on which the grant of an Award is authorized by the Company or such other date as may be specified by the Company in such authorization. "Date of Retirement" -- the date on which an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary retires from such employment or the effective date of an Early Retirement. "Early Retirement" -- the retirement of an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the legally mandated age of retirement, if any, or that age provided in applicable policies of the Company as such may be instituted from time to time. "Eligible Person" -- any person employed or retained as a consultant by the Company or a Subsidiary on a regular basis who satisfies all of the requirements of Section 5.3. "Fair Market Value" -- the greater of (i) the per share price at which shares of the Company were issued to or purchased by any party in the last transaction occurring prior to the date of the exercise of the Option, and (ii) the net book value of the Company, divided by the number of the Company shares outstanding at the time of the exercise of an Award by a 1

Participant; provided that the Fair Market Value shall always be at least equal to the par value of the Stock. In the event that a public market is created for shares, then the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on any day shall be the closing sale quotation on the market with respect to which such shares are traded as reported for such day or, if no such quotation is reported for such day, the average of the high bid and low asked price of common stock as reported for such day. If no quotation is made for the applicable day, the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on such day shall be determined in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence using quotations for the next preceding day for which there were quotations, provided that such quotations shall have been made within the ten (10) "trading" days preceding the applicable day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no such information is available or if otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by the Option Committee, the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on any day shall be determined in good faith by the Option Committee taking into account all relevant material facts and circumstances. "Group of Persons" -- a "group" as such term is defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"). "Option" or "Stock Option" -- an option granted under Section 5 of this Plan. "Option Committee" -- an Option Committee created by the Board. It is acknowledged that no such committee exists as of the time of the adoption of this Plan and until such creation all functions attributed hereunder to the Option Committee shall be exercised by the Board. "Optionee" -- any person to whom an Option is granted under this Plan. "Option Period" or "Option Periods" -- the period or periods during which an Option is exercisable as described in Section 5.6. "Option Shares" -- shares purchase by an Optionee under an Option. "Owner" -- a person or Group which owns shares, including a beneficial owner as defined under the Exchange Act. "Participant" -- an Eligible Person who has been granted an Award under this Plan. "Person" -- any individual or legal entity of any form whatsoever. "Plan" -- this Euronet Long Term Incentive Stock Option Plan. "Securities Act" -- the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction governing the issuance and trading of securities, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. "Stock Option Agreement" -- an agreement entered into by an Optionee and the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Plan. "Subsidiary" -- any corporation of which 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. 2

"Termination" -- termination of the employment or the consulting arrangement of a person with the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company may, in its discretion, determine whether any "leave of absence" constitutes a Termination for purposes of this Plan and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on Awards made under this Plan. The Company shall have the right to determine whether the termination of a Participant's employment or consulting arrangement is a dismissal for cause and the date of Termination in such case, which date the Company may retroactively deem to be the date of the action that constitutes cause for dismissal. Such determinations of the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive. "Vested Shares" -- shares of Stock with respect to which an Optionee's purchase right under an Option has vested in accordance with the terms of Section 5.6. 3. Effective Date and Duration. 3.1 Effective Date. This Plan shall be effective as of the Adoption Date. 3.2 Period for Grant of Awards. Awards may be made as provided herein for a period of ten (10) years after the Adoption Date. 3.3 Termination. This Plan shall continue in effect until all matters relating to the payment of Awards and administration of the Plan have been settled. 4. Administration. 4.1 The Board; Option Committee. The Plan shall be administered in accordance with the terms of this Plan document by the Board or a committee thereof, provided that all questions of interpretation regarding the terms and conditions pursuant to which Awards are granted, exercised or forfeited under the provisions hereof, shall be subject to the determination of the Board or the Option Committee, as the case may be. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon all parties affected thereby. 4.2 Indemnification. Each member of the Board or the Option Committee (and each person to whom any of them has delegated any authority or power under this Plan) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such person may be a party or in which such person may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan; and (ii) any and all amounts paid by such person in satisfaction of judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding relating to the Plan. Each person covered by this indemnification shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such person undertakes to handle and defend it on such person's own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or of any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such person or hold such person harmless. 4.3 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board or the Option Committee (and each person to whom any of them has delegated any authority or power 3

under this Plan) shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Board or the Option Committee be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith. 5. Stock Options. 5.1 Grant of Stock Options. The Company may, from time to time, grant Stock Options for shares of common stock in the Company to one or more Eligible Persons, provided that: (i) all grants must be approved in advance by the Board or by the Option Committee acting on behalf of the Board; (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Stock subject to Stock Options under this Plan, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.11, may not exceed Two Million Four Hundred Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Six (2,413,586) shares, plus all Prior Grants; (iii) in the event that a Stock Option lapses or the rights of the Participant to whom it as granted terminate, any shares of Stock subject to such Option shall again be available for the grant of an Option to another Eligible Person under this Plan; and (iv) shares of Stock delivered by the Company under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Stock, Stock held in the treasury of the Company or Stock purchased on the open market (including private purchases), in accordance with any applicable Securities Act. 5.2 Payment Nature of Option. All Options granted shall be in consideration of services performed for the Company or its Subsidiaries by the Optionee. All Options granted shall constitute a special incentive payment to the Optionee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Optionee for the purpose of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement between the Company and the Optionee, unless such plan or agreement specifically otherwise provides. 5.3 Eligibility. Key employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including employees and consultants who are members of the Board) who, in the opinion and sole discretion of the Company, are primarily responsible for the continued growth and development and financial success of the business of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Company may from time to time select from such Eligible Persons those to whom Awards shall be granted and determine the nature and amount of each Award. The Company shall not be under any obligation to grant any employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries an Award under this Plan. 5.4 Non-Uniform Determinations. The Company's determinations under this Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Eligible Persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Options (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations which may, inter alia, reflect the specific terms of individual employment or consulting agreements, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Option Agreements, as to (a) the persons qualified to receive Options and (b) the terms and conditions of Options. 4

5.5 Number of Shares of Stock Subject to Option. In determining the size of Options to be granted, the Company shall take into account a prospective Participant's job responsibilities, level, performance, potential, cash compensation level, the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time of granting the Award, as well as such other considerations it deems appropriate. 5.6 Stock Option Terms. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Company and the Participant under terms and conditions approved by the Company, provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, the following terms and conditions shall apply: (1) The Optionee's right to exercise the Options granted shall vest over a period of five years, in five tranches, each equal to one-fifth of the total number of shares of Stock which are the subject of an Option grant. One tranche shall vest on each anniversary of the Date of Grant for five years after the Date of Grant. (2) The Options are exercisable with respect to Vested Shares either in total or in part, with a partial exercise not affecting the exercisability of the balance of the Option. (3) Each Option shall cease to be exercisable as to any share of Stock, at the earliest of (i) the Optionee's purchase of the entire amount of Stock to which the Option relates or (ii) the lapse of the Option in accordance with Section 5.8 below. (4) Options are not transferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable (i) during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee, or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative or (ii) after an Optionee's death by the Optionee's beneficiary or representative of the estate of the Optionee as provided in Section 5.8. In the event a Stock Option Agreement establishes an Option Period which does not begin immediately upon the grant thereof, such agreement may initially provide, or the Company may at any time thereafter unilaterally amend it to provide, for the immediate exercisability of the Option granted therein upon the occurrence of events determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, to justify such immediate exercisability. (5) The Option price per share of Stock shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value at the Date of Grant. The Option price shall be payable in cash, in full, at the time of the exercise of the Option. 5.7 Dividend Equivalency. Any Option may, in the discretion of the Company, provide for dividend equivalency rights under which the Participant shall be entitled to additional payments, in the nature of compensation, equal to the amount of dividends which would have been paid, during the period such Option is held, on the number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares subject to such Option. 5.8 Lapse of Option. An Option will lapse upon the first occurrence of one of the following circumstances: (i) 10 years from the Date of Grant; (ii) on the 90th day following the Optionee's Date of Retirement; (iii) on the date which is 60 days after an Optionee's Termination; or (iv) at the expiration of the Option Period set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. If, however, the Optionee dies within the Option Period and prior to the 5

lapse of the Option, the Option shall lapse unless it is exercised within the Option Period or twelve months from the date of the Optionee's death, whichever is earlier, by the Optionee's beneficiary, legal representative or representatives or by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Optionee's will or, if the Optionee shall fail to designate a beneficiary or make a testamentary disposition of such Option or shall die intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive said Option under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 5.9 Change in Control. (1) "Change In Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events: (i) any Person or Group of Persons (other than any shareholder of the Company as of the Adoption Date), becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, whether by purchase, acquisition or otherwise, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company; or (ii) the Company's shareholders approve an agreement to merge, consolidate, liquidate, or sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company shall give prompt notice to all Optionees in the event it becomes aware that a Change In Control has occurred. (2) Upon the event of a Change in Control: (i) any Option outstanding prior to the date of the Change in Control shall become, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Stock Option Agreement, fully vested and immediately exercisable; and (ii) the Company may, in its sole discretion and subject to the provisions of Section 7 below, amend any Stock Option Agreement in such manner as it deems appropriate, but only as to those Options which have not been exercised. (3) Whenever deemed appropriate by the Company, any action referred to in Section 5.9(2)(ii) may be made conditional upon the consummation of the applicable Change in Control transaction. 5.10 Restrictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, at the time of any exercise of an Option, the Company may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable for any reason, require the Optionee, as a condition to the exercise thereof, to deliver to the Company a written representation of the Optionee's present intention to purchase the Stock for investment and not for distribution. Each Option shall also be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that either (i) the registration or qualification of Stock subject to an Option under any Securities Act, or (ii) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue or purchase of Stock thereunder, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 5.11 Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar changes in the Stock, then appropriate adjustments shall be made in the shares of Stock theretofore awarded to the Optionees and in the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be awarded pursuant to the Plan. Such adjustments shall be made by the Company and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes. Additional shares of Stock issued to a Optionee as the result of any such change shall bear the same restrictions as the shares of Stock to which they relate. 6

6. Other Payments or Options. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed, in any way, to limit or restrict the Company from granting an option to purchase Stock or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in effect. 7. Amendment and Termination. The Board may, from time to time, suspend, discontinue, revise or amend this Plan in any respect whatsoever provided however that no such amendment shall materially impair any rights or materially increase any obligations under any outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant (or, upon the Participant's death or adjudication of mental incapacity, the person having the right to exercise the Award). 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. 8.1 Non-transferability. No benefit provided under this Plan shall be subject to alienation or assignment by a Optionee (or by any person entitled to such benefit pursuant to the terms of this Plan), nor shall it be subject to attachment or other legal process of whatever nature. Any attempted alienation, assignment or attachment shall be void and of no effect whatsoever. Payment shall be made only to the Optionee entitled to receive the same or said Optionee's authorized legal representative. 8.2 No Employment Right or Right of Retainer. Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any right to be retained as an officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 8.3 Tax Withholding. Either the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash any taxes as it deems to be required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. In the case of Awards paid in Stock, the employee or other person receiving such Stock may be required to pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, the amount of any such taxes which the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold with respect to such Stock. At the request of an Optionee, or as required by law, upon the exercise of an Option, such sums as may be required for the payment of any estimated or accrued income tax liability may be withheld or paid by the Optionee to the Company and remitted to the governmental entity entitled to receive the same. 8.4 Fractional Shares. Any fractional shares concerning Awards shall be eliminated at the time of payment or payout by rounding down for fractions of less than one-half and rounding up for fractions of equal to or more than one-half. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. 8.5 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of Awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any government agencies as may be required. If Stock awarded under the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict its transfer in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure such exempt status. 8.6 Company Successors. In the event the Company becomes a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets or any other corporate 7

reorganization in which the Company will not be the surviving corporation or in which the holders of the Stock will receive securities of another corporation (in any such case, the "New Company"), then the New Company shall assume the rights and obligations of the Company under this Plan. 8.7 Governing Law. All matters relating to the Plan or to Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 8.8 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any other pension, retirement, profit-sharing or group insurance plan of the Company or any Subsidiary. 8.9 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 8.10 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles and headings, shall control. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be adopted effective as of December 3, 1996, and amended effective as October 16, 1997 and September 13, 2002. EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. ___________________________ Michael J. Brown, C.E.O. and Chairman of the Board 8

Exhibit 10.2 EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION 1.01 Purpose. The Euronet Worldwide, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide a method whereby employees of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company") and its Eligible Subsidiary Companies (as defined below) will have an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Common Stock of the Company. 1.02 Rules of Interpretation. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. ARTICLE II DEFINITIONS 2.01 "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 2.02 "Compensation" shall mean the gross cash compensation (including, wage, salary and overtime earnings) paid by the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Company to a participant in accordance with the terms of employment, but excluding all bonus payments, expense allowances and compensation paid in a form other than cash. 2.03 "Committee" shall mean the individuals described in Article XI. 2.04 "Eligible Subsidiary Company" shall mean each Subsidiary Company the employees of which are entitled to participate in the Plan, as listed or referred to on Schedule 2.03 hereto. 2.05 "Employee" shall mean any person employed by the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Company, including any full-time, part-time or temporary employee. 2.06 "Fair Market Value" shall mean as of any date, the value of Common Stock of the Company determined as follows: (a) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq National Market or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for the last market 1

trading day on the date of such determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable; (b) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of such determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable; or (c) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Board. 2.07 "Plan Representative" shall mean any person designated from time to time by the Committee to receive certain notices and take certain other administrative actions relating to participation in the Plan. 2.08 "Subsidiary Company" shall mean any present or future corporation which (i) is or becomes a "Subsidiary Company" of the Company as that term is defined in Section 424 of the Code and (ii) is designated as a participant in the Plan by the Committee. ARTICLE III ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 3.01 Initial Eligibility. Each Employee who shall have completed three consecutive months of employment with the Company or any corporation or entity acquired by the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Company and shall be employed by the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Company on the date his or her participation in the Plan is to become effective shall be eligible to participate in Offerings (as defined below) under the Plan which commence after such three-month period has concluded. Persons who are not Employees shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. 3.02 Restrictions on Participation. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be granted an option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan: (a) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee would own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company (for purposes of this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of any Employee); or (b) which permits such Employee's rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code) of the Company to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of the stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time. 3.03 Commencement of Participation. An eligible Employee may become a participant by completing an authorization for payroll deductions on the form provided by the Company and filing the completed form with the Plan Representative on or before the filing date set therefor by the Committee, which date shall be prior to the Offering Commencement Date for the next following Offering (as such 2

terms are defined below), unless a later time for submission of the form is set by the Committee for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period. Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the next following Offering Commencement Date after the Employee's authorization for payroll deductions becomes effective and shall continue until termination of the Plan or the participant's earlier termination of participation in the Plan. Each participant in the Plan shall be deemed to continue participation until termination of the Plan or such participant's earlier termination of participation in the Plan pursuant to Article VIII below. ARTICLE IV STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND OFFERINGS 4.01 Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 of the Plan, the Board shall reserve initially for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"), which shares shall be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. If, on a given Offering Termination Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. The Board may from time to time reserve additional shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved be greater than permitted by applicable law. 4.02 Offerings. The Plan shall be implemented by a series of Offerings of the Company's Common Stock (the "Offerings") of three (3) months duration, with new Offerings commencing on or about January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (or at such other dates as the Committee shall determine). The first day of each Offering shall be deemed the "Offering Commencement Date" and the last day the "Offering Termination Date" for such Offering. The first Offering will be for the period commencing July 1, 2001 and ending September 30, 2001. The Committee shall have the power to change the duration and/or the frequency of future Offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the beginning of the first Offering to be affected and the duration of such Offering does not exceed twenty-seven (27) months. Each Offering shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges. The Plan shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 12.05. ARTICLE V PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS 5.01 Amount of Deduction. The form described in Section 3.03 will permit a participant to elect payroll deductions to occur during each Offering in an amount determined by the participant, provided that such amount may be limited in order to comply with the requirements of Section 3.02(b). 3

5.02 Participant's Account. All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to an account established for such participant under the Plan. A participant may not make any separate cash payment into such account. 5.03 Changes in Payroll Deductions. A participant may reduce or increase future payroll deductions by filing with the Plan Representative a form provided by the Company for such purpose. The effective date of any increase or reduction in future payroll deductions will be the first day of the next pay period succeeding processing of the change form. A participant's payroll deduction election shall remain in effect for successive Offerings unless terminated as provided in Section 8.01. ARTICLE VI GRANTING OF OPTION 6.01 Number of Option Shares. On or prior to the Offering Commencement Date, the Committee shall specify a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by each participant during the Offering, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 12.04 and the limitations of Section 3.02(b) and 4.01. For the Offering commencing July 1, 2001, the maximum number of shares which may be purchased by each participant shall not exceed 3000 shares. 6.02 Offering Price. The option price of Common Stock purchased with payroll deductions made during any Offering (the "Offering Price") for a participant therein shall be the lesser of: (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Commencement Date, or (b) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Termination Date. ARTICLE VII EXERCISE OF OPTION 7.01 Automatic Exercise. Each Plan participant's option for the purchase of stock with payroll deductions made during any Offering will be deemed to have been exercised automatically on the applicable Offering Termination Date for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock which the accumulated payroll deductions in the participant's account at the time will purchase at the applicable Offering Price (but not in excess of the number of shares for which outstanding options have been granted to the participant pursuant to Section 6.01). 7.02 Withdrawal of Account. No participant in the Plan shall be entitled to withdraw any amount from the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account; provided, however, that a participant's accumulated payroll deductions shall be refunded to the participant as and to the extent specified in Section 8.01 below upon termination of such participant's participation in the Plan. 7.03 Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Plan. 4

7.04 Exercise of Options. During a participant's lifetime, options held by such participant shall be exercisable only by such participant. 7.05 Delivery of Stock. As promptly as practicable after the Offering Termination Date of each Offering, the Company will deliver to each participant in such Offering, as appropriate, the shares of Common Stock purchased therein upon exercise of such participant's option. The Company may deliver such shares in certificated or book entry form, at the Company's sole election. 7.06 Stock Transfer Restrictions. The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. A participant will not obtain the benefits of this provision if such participant disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan within two (2) years from the Offering Commencement Date or within one (1) year from the date such Common Stock is purchased by the participant, whichever is later. ARTICLE VIII WITHDRAWAL 8.01 In General. A participant may stop participating in the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Representative. Upon processing of any such written notice, no further payroll deductions will be made from the participant's Compensation during such Offering or thereafter, unless and until such participant elects to resume participation in the Plan by providing written notice to the Plan Representative pursuant to Section 3.03 above. Such participant's payroll deductions accumulated prior to processing of such notice shall be applied toward purchasing shares of Common Stock in the then-current Offering as provided in Section 7.01 above. Any cash balance remaining after the purchase of shares in such Offering shall be refunded promptly to such participant. 8.02 Effect on Subsequent Participation. A participant's withdrawal from any Offering will not have any effect upon such participant's eligibility to participate in any succeeding Offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company and for which such participant is otherwise eligible. 8.03 Termination of Employment. Upon termination of a participant's employment with the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Company (as the case may be) for any reason, including retirement or death, the participant's payroll deductions accumulated prior to such termination, if any, shall be applied toward purchasing shares of Common Stock in the then-current Offering, and any cash balance remaining after the purchase of shares in such Offering shall be refunded to him or her, or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.01, and his or her participation in the Plan shall be deemed to be terminated. ARTICLE IX INTEREST 9.01 Payment of Interest. No interest will be paid or allowed on any money paid into the Plan or credited to the account of or distributed to any participant Employee. 5

ARTICLE X STOCK 10.01 Participant's Interest in Option Stock. No participant will have any interest in shares of Common Stock covered by any option held by such participant until such option has been exercised as provided in Section 7.01 above. 10.02 Registration of Stock. Shares of Common Stock purchased by a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant, or, if the participant so directs by written notice to the Plan Representative prior to the Offering Termination Date applicable thereto, in the names of the participant and one such other person as may be designated by the participant, as joint tenants with rights of survivorship or as tenants by the entireties, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 10.03 Restrictions on Exercise. The Committee may, in its discretion, require as conditions to the exercise of any option that the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of such option shall have been duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, upon a stock exchange or market, and that either: (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to said shares shall be effective, or (b) the participant shall have represented at the time of purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that it is his or her intention to purchase the shares for investment and not for resale or distribution. ARTICLE XI ADMINISTRATION 11.01 Appointment of Committee. The Board shall appoint a committee (the "Committee") to administer the Plan, which shall consist solely of no fewer than three "non-employee directors" (as defined in Rule 16b-3(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). 11.02 Authority of Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion to interpret and construe any and all provision of the Plan, to adopt rules and regulations for administering the Plan, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee's determination of the foregoing matters shall be conclusive. Without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the Committee shall be entitled to limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant's 6

Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Committee determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. 11.03 Rules Governing the Administration of the Committee. The Board may from time to time appoint members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee may select one of its members as its chairman, shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable, and may hold telephonic meetings. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members. A decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be as fully effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. The Committee may appoint a secretary and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable. ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS 12.01 Designation of Beneficiary. A participant may file with the Plan Representative a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and/or cash under the Plan upon the participant's death. Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice to the Plan Representative. Upon the death of a participant and receipt by the Company of proof of identity and existence at the participant's death of a beneficiary validly designated by the participant under the Plan, and subject to Article VIII above concerning withdrawal from the Plan, the Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to such beneficiary. In the event of the death of a participant lacking a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents of the participant, in each case without any further liability of the Company whatsoever under or relating to the Plan. No beneficiary shall, prior to the death of the participant by whom he or she has been designated, acquire any interest in the shares of Common Stock and/or cash credited to the participant under the Plan. 12.02 Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to any participant's account nor any option or rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may, in its discretion, treat such act as an election to withdraw from participation in the Plan in accordance with Section 8.01. 12.03 Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose. The Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions. 12.04 Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization. 7

(a) If, while any options are outstanding under the Plan, the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have increased, decreased, changed into, or been exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company through any reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction, appropriate and proportionate adjustments may be made by the Committee in the number and/or kind of shares which are subject to purchase under outstanding options and in the Offering Price or Prices applicable to such outstanding options. In addition, in any such event, the number and/or kind of shares which may be offered in the Offerings described in Article IV hereof shall also be proportionately adjusted. No such adjustments shall be made for or in respect of stock dividends. For purposes of this paragraph, any distribution of shares of Common Stock to shareholders in an amount aggregating 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be deemed a stock split, and any distribution of shares aggregating less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be deemed a stock dividend. (b) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the property or capital stock of the Company to another corporation, the holder of each option then outstanding under the Plan will thereafter be entitled to receive at the next Offering Termination Date, upon the exercise of such option, for each share as to which such option shall be exercised, as nearly as reasonably may be determined, the cash, securities and/or property which a holder of one share of the Common Stock was entitled to receive upon and at the time of such transaction. The Board shall take such steps in connection with such transactions as the Board shall deem necessary to assure that the provisions of this Section 12.04 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be determined, in relation to the said cash, securities and/or property as to which each such holder of any such option might hereafter be entitled to receive. 12.05 Amendment and Termination. (a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 12.04, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering may be terminated by the Board on any Offering Termination Date if the Board determinates that the termination of the Offering or the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 12.04 and this Section 12.05, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted that adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required. (b) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: (i) altering the Offering Price for any Offering, including an Offering underway at the time of the change in the Offering; (ii) shortening any Offering so that Offering ends on a new Offering Termination Date, including an Offering underway at the time of the Board action; and 8

(iii) allocating shares. Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any participants. 12.06 Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective as of June 1, 2001, subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and represented at any special or annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company duly held within 12 months after adoption of the Plan. If the Plan is not so approved, the Plan shall not become effective. 12.07 No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create in any person any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary Company, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company's or any Subsidiary Company's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, any employee's employment at any time. 12.08 Effect of Plan. The provisions of the Plan shall, in accordance with its terms, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors of each Employee participating in the Plan, including, without limitation, such Employee's estate and the executors, administrators or trustees thereof, heirs and legatees, and any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or representative of creditors of such Employee. 12.09 Governing Law. The law of the State of Delaware will govern all matters relating to this Plan except to the extent superseded by the federal laws of the United States. 9

Schedule 2.03 to Euronet Worldwide, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Eligible Subsidiary Companies 1 Euronet USA Inc.

Exhibit 10.3 Euronet Worldwide, Inc. Rules and Procedures for Euronet Matching Stock Option Grant Program The following rules and procedures will apply to the Matching Stock Option Grant Program (the "Matching Grant Program") established by the Euronet Board of Directors on September 13, 2002 (the "Adoption Date"). Under the Matching Grant Program, options to purchase shares in stock in Euronet Worldwide, Inc. ("Euronet" or the "Company") may be granted, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, to executive officers or outside directors who own Newly Acquired Stock, as defined below. a. Period of Matching Grant Program Grants may be made to participants under the Matching Grant Program for a period of 12 months from the Adoption Date. b. Newly Acquired Stock The Company's option plan administrators shall determine and record the number of shares of Company stock held by any potential participant in the Matching Grant Program as of January 1, 2002 (the "Baseline Date"). Such ownership shall be referred to as "Baseline Ownership." Newly Acquired Stock shall mean Company stock acquired by participants after the Baseline Date either through exercises of non-reloadable stock options or open market purchases, if as a result of such exercise or purchase the participant directly owns shares that are either of record in the participant's name (or in the name of participant and participant's Spouse as joint tenants) or held in a brokerage account in which the participant is the named account holder (or is a joint account owner with the participant's Spouse). Newly Acquired Stock shall not include stock acquired in any other manner including without limitation: (a) Company stock acquired through an individual retirement account, through the Euronet 401(k), or through some other tax deferred plan or account; (b) Company stock acquired through gift or inheritance; and (c) Company stock acquired through the Euronet Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Management of the Company shall implement procedures to obtain from participants in any format Management deems necessary or advisable information about changes in the participants' ownership of Company common stock. c. Option Grant Determinations The Committee shall meet periodically as determined by the Committee to consider information provided by Management and to determine whether matching stock option grants should be made based on Newly Acquired Stock. Matching grants may be made using stock available from any of the Company's stock option plans, provided that the total number of shares allocable to this Program during its entire term shall be limited to 600,000. In making grant determinations, the following shall be considered: (a) the participant's good standing; (b) pattern of Company stock ownership by the participant; (c) deviation of ownership from the Baseline Ownership; (d) Company factors including without limitation pooling, investor relations, and securities law considerations; (e) the 1

number of shares available or annual option grant limits in the Euronet stock option plans; and (f) other factors deemed relevant by Management or the Committee. The Committee shall not consider acquisitions or dispositions of stock held in or withdrawn from the Euronet 401(k), the Euronet Employee Stock Purchase Plan, an individual retirement account, or another tax deferred plan or account. When the Committee determines to make a grant, the grant shall be, unless the Committee otherwise determines from time to time, one option for every share of Newly Acquired Stock on which the grant is based. d. Terms of Options The options granted under this Program would be the subject of a Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement executed by the grantee and Euronet containing standard terms and conditions, including the following: 1. Matching Option grant to optionees who acquire additional shares of Euronet stock after January 1, 2002 during this Matching Stock Option Grant Program ending September 13, 2003. The number of shares under such matching options shall be a 1:1 match of the number of Newly Acquired Stock. 2. The option exercise price would be the fair market value on the date the Option Committee makes the matching grant (the "grant date"). Fair market value is the closing trading price of the Company's stock on the NASDAQ as of the date of the grant. 3. Term -- 10 years from date of grant. 4. Vesting - 7-year cliff vest from date of the grant, subject to acceleration (a) by a change of control, as determined under the rules of the stock option plan under which the options are granted, or (b) on the third anniversary date of the grant if optionee holds the Newly Acquired Stock that was the basis for the grant of the options. If the employee holds only a portion of the Newly Acquired Stock or the third anniversary date, options equal to the number of shares of Newly Acquired Stock then held will vest. If 7-year cliff vest applies, the grantee must exercise within 60 days of vesting, after which the option lapses. If accelerated vesting applies under (a) or (b) above, the grantee may exercise during balance of 10 year period from grant date, subject to earlier lapse as provided in paragraph 10 below. Pro rata acceleration of the stock options would apply if less than 100% of the Newly Acquired Stock has been retained for three years. 5. A reload feature will be included in Matching Option Grants only if the fair market value of the stock has increased by 20% or more at the time of exercise over the exercise price. If a reload feature is granted, the remaining term of the reload grant would be the same as the original award. 6. Payment of Exercise Price -- Cash or Euronet common stock, as provided in the option plan under which the option grant is made. 2

7. Tax withholding -- delivery of cash or withhold shares from option exercise, as provided in the option plan under which the option grant is made. 8. Non-transferable, except by beneficiary designation approved by the Option Committee. 9. Option terminates if (a) employment terminated with cause, (b) voluntary termination of employment without consent of Euronet that options exercisable at date of termination remain exercisable, or (c) violation of non-compete, confidentiality agreement. 10. If options are exercisable on the date of termination of employment, optionee can exercise within three (3) months of (a) voluntary termination of employment with consent of Euronet that options remain exercisable or (b) termination without cause. If options are exercisable at the date of disability or death, (i) optionee can exercise within 12 months of disability and (ii) beneficiary or personal representative can exercise in the event of optionee's death within 12 months of the date of death. If options are exercisable on date of retirement, optionee can exercise at any time until the date the term of the option expires. 11. The terms of the option plan under which the options are granted (as determined in the option agreement) would apply except as provided otherwise in this description of the Matching Grant Program. 3
