This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed by Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (Euronet) on March 6, 2003 to add information pursuant to Item 7(a) Financial Information and Item 7(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired
The financial statements of e-pay, Limited required by this item are attached as Exhibit 99.1.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements are attached as Exhibit 99.2 and give effect to the sale of Euronets U.K. subsidiary (Euronet UK), which occurred on January 17, 2003, and the acquisition of e-pay Limited, which occurred on February 19, 2003 (the Transactions). The sale of Euronet UK is more fully described in Euronets Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2003. The acquisition of e-pay Limited is more fully described in Item 2 of Euronets Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2003.
Simultaneous with the sale of Euronet UK, Euronet and the buyer signed an ATM and Gateway Services Agreement (the Services Agreement) under which Euronet will provide ATM operating, monitoring, and transaction processing services (the ATM Services) to the buyer through December 31, 2007. The services to be provided by Euronet are substantially identical to existing services being provided by Euronet to Euronet UK prior to the sale of Euronet UK. Management has allocated $4.5 million of the total sale proceeds of $29.6 million to the Services Agreement. This amount will be accrued to revenues on a straight-line basis over the five-year contract term beginning January 1, 2003. This allocation was made with reference to the agreed recurring fees under the Services Agreement and the estimated fair market value on a per ATM basis of the services to be provided under the Services Agreement.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2002.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2002 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2002. The estimated recurring revenues and related costs of the Services Agreement signed in connection with the sale of Euronet UK are included and were estimated based on existing contracts with similar terms and conditions with unrelated parties. The non-recurring one-time gain associated with the sale of Euronet UK is not included.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations should be read in conjunction with Euronets Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2003, and historical financial statements and managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in its annual report on Form 10-K. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative of the results of continuing operations or financial position that would have been achieved had the Transactions been consummated as of the dates indicated above, nor do they purport to indicate results which may be attained in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of e-pay Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of e-pay Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts, cash flow statements and statements of total recognized gains and losses for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002 and each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2002, all expressed in pounds sterling. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002 and each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of consolidated net income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002 and each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2002 and the determination of consolidated shareholders equity at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002 to the extent summarized in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
1 Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the United Kingdom. A summary of the more important policies, which have been applied consistently, is set out below.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention. The company changed its year end from March 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2002.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the results and financial position of e-pay Limited, the parent company, and its subsidiary undertaking. Where appropriate, the financial statements of the overseas subsidiary undertaking are adjusted to conform with the Groups accounting policies. Intra-Group sales, profits and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Joint venture and associates
The Group treats investments in undertakings which are jointly controlled as joint ventures. Investments in undertakings where the Group has a participating interest, where the investment is held for the long-term and where the Group exercises significant influence, are treated as associates.
The Groups share of turnover and the component elements of the profit and loss account are disclosed for joint ventures in the Groups profit and loss account. In the case of associates the same disclosure is given except for the Groups share of turnover.
Associates are included using the equity method under which the share of net assets are included within fixed assets: Interest in associates.
Turnover and cost of sales
The Group derives its turnover through the processing of sales of mobile phone top-ups and international calling cards. Turnover is recognised when a transaction has been processed or delivery has been made, as there are no significant vendor obligations remaining and collection is probable.
Turnover related to the processing of sales of mobile phone top-ups and international calling cards represents commissions received from network or service providers. All turnover excludes value added tax. The related cost of sales for these transactions represents the net amount due to retailers utilising the e-pay infrastructure. In certain cases, the Group is not responsible for collection of cash from the retailer. In such instances, no cost of sales is recorded for the transaction. Turnover related to these sales
Page 5
e-pay Limited
Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
for the nine month ended December 31, 2002 totalled £629,000, and for the years ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 was £396,000 and £64,000, respectively.
Other operating income
Other operating income comprises sales of terminals to its joint venture/associate entity and sundry charges levied on retailers. Other operating income is recognised once the Group has fulfilled its obligations.
Tangible fixed assets
The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided using the following rates so as to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, as follows:
Leasehold improvements |
2 years | |
Motor vehicles |
3 years | |
Fixtures and fittings |
2 to 4 years | |
Computer equipment |
2 to 3 years |
Impairment of assets
The need for any tangible fixed asset impairment write-down is assessed by comparison of the carrying value of the asset against the higher of net realisable value and value in use. The value in use is determined from estimated discounted future cash flows. Discount rates are based on the circumstances of the business.
Cash held on behalf of others
In accordance with the Groups agreements with network providers, the Group is in certain cases required to maintain the network providers funds collected from retailers in separate trust accounts. The Group is entitled to the interest income earned on the trust balances.
Taxation
Corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Page 6
e-pay Limited
Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences which have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events which result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. An asset is not recognised to the extent that the transfer of economic benefits in the future is uncertain.
Deferred tax is measured at the average rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.
A deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that there will be adequate future taxable profit against which to recover carried forward tax losses.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.
Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, are translated into sterling at year end exchange rates. The results and cash flows of overseas subsidiary undertakings, joint ventures and associates are translated into sterling at the average exchange rates ruling during the financial year.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of the net assets and results of overseas subsidiary undertakings, joint ventures and associates are taken to reserves.
Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance leases
Leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of an asset are treated as if the asset had been purchased outright. The assets are included in fixed assets and the capital element of the leasing commitments is shown as obligations under finance leases.
Page 7
e-pay Limited
Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
Research and development costs
Research and development costs are written off as incurred.
Share options
For share options issued to employees at an exercise price less than the then current market value, the difference is charged to the profit and loss account over the vesting period, or immediately if there are no performance criteria.
For share options issued to non-employees, the fair value of the consideration received is recognised over the period to which the consideration relates.
Related party transactions
The group is exempt under the terms of FRS 8 Related Party Transactions from the requirement to disclose transactions with subsidiary entities.

On November 16, 2001 the company sold 20% of its holding in e-pay (m) Sdn. Bhd. for £150,000, reducing the companys holding from 50% to 40%. The investment has, accordingly, been reclassified from a joint venture to an associate. This disposal gave rise to a profit of £115,000, which is disclosed as an exceptional item in the profit and loss account. Due to the availability of trading losses in the year ended March 31, 2002, the gain did not give rise to a tax charge.
e-pay Limiteds share of the gross assets and turnover of e-pay (m) Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiary undertakings exceeds 25% of those of the e-pay Limited Group excluding e-pay (m) Sdn. Bhd. Under the terms of FRS 9 Associates and Joint Ventures the additional disclosures, as set out below, are required in respect of this company and its subsidiaries.

In addition to the above, an option was granted on July 20, 2000 to the 70% shareholder of e-pay Asia Limited over ordinary shares representing 10% of the total shares in issue at the exercise date, total exercise consideration being £81,200. The option was exercisable upon e-pay Asia Limited remitting £3 million in a single year to the company by way of dividend. The option was also exercisable upon the consent of the company upon a change of control or listing over a number of ordinary shares determined by the dividend received in the previous financial year. The option lapsed on September 30, 2002 and was never exercised. The fair value of this option at the date of grant was considered to be zero given the performance criteria for exercise.

Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
i | Stock-based compensation |
Under UK GAAP, compensation cost is the difference between the market value of the shares at the date of grant of the award less any contribution that the employee is required to make. Under US GAAP, the Group has applied SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-based Compensation and related accounting interpretations in accounting for its option plans. SFAS 123 requires options to be fair valued at their grant date and included in profit and loss over the vesting period of the options. The fair value of the options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Dividend yield: |
0% | |
Risk free investment rate: |
Range from 4.92% to 6.21% | |
Expected volatility: |
0% | |
Expected life: |
Range from 5 to 6.5 years |
At December 31, 2002 there was no unearned compensation expense.
ii | Deferred taxation |
Under UK GAAP, deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences which have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events which result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. An asset is recognised only to the extent that a transfer of economic benefit is more likely than not. For investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, deferred tax is recognised only to the extent that dividends have been accrued as receivable, or there is a binding agreement to distribute earnings. The measurement of deferred tax is based on the provisions of substantively extracted tax legislation.
Under US GAAP, SFAS 109 Accounting for income taxes requires deferred taxation to be provided on a full liability basis, and a valuation allowance is established in respect of those deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some portion will not be realised. For investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, deferred tax is recognized unless it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The measurement of deferred tax is based on the provisions of enacted tax legislation; the effects of future changes in tax legislation are not anticipated.

iii | Imputed interest on shareholders loans |
The company obtained non-interest bearing loans up to March 31, 2002 in the amount of £776,000 from its shareholders; thereafter they attract interest at 9% per annum. These loans are repayable on demand at the option of the loan holder (see note 21).
Under UK GAAP there is no requirement to impute interest on non-interest bearing loans.
Under US GAAP these loans are carried at their present value and accreted up to their face value over the period they didnt bear any interest with a corresponding charge to interest expense. Under US GAAP there is a gain computed as the difference between the face value of the loan and the present value of the amounts to be paid using the appropriate interest rate, which has been accounted for as a capital contribution from a related party.
iv | Investments in associates |
Under UK GAAP, the Groups share of turnover of the joint venture and of the operating profit, exceptional items, interest and tax of the joint venture and associate are all presented separately.
Under US GAAP, the Groups share of profits and losses of the joint venture and of the associate is presented at a post-tax level.
v | Consolidated statement of cash flows |
Under UK GAAP, the Groups cash comprises cash in hand and at bank. Under US GAAP, cash and cash equivalents include cash and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Under US GAAP, bank overdrafts are generally classified within financing activities.
Page 27

Notes to the financial statements
December 31, 2002
Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented for operating activities; dividends received from associated undertakings; returns on investments and servicing of finance; taxation; capital expenditure and financial investment; acquisitions and disposals; equity dividends paid; management of liquid resources and financing. US GAAP requires the classification of cash flows as resulting from operating, investing and financing activities.
Cash flows under UK GAAP in respect of interest received, interest paid, investment income and taxation would be included within operating activities under US GAAP. Capital expenditure and financial investment and cash flows from acquisitions and disposals would be included within investing activities under US GAAP. Dividends paid by subsidiary undertakings, dividends paid to minority interests, equity dividends paid and management of liquid resources would be included within financing activities under US GAAP.
A summary of the Groups operating, investing and financing activities, classified in accordance with US GAAP, is as follows:

vi | Exceptional items |
Under UK GAAP, income and expenses from non-recurring but significant transactions arising otherwise than in the course of the Groups ordinary activities are recorded as exceptional items. Items classified as exceptional for the purposes of UK GAAP generally do not meet the definition of extraordinary under US GAAP and are therefore classified as operating expense or income.

vii | Comprehensive income statement |
The requirement of SFAS 130 Reporting comprehensive income to provide a comprehensive income statement is met under UK GAAP by the Statement of total recognized gains and losses (page 3).

Of the total purchase price, $3.1 million has been allocated to net tangible assets and working capital acquired and approximately $13.9 million has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired. The depreciation and amortization related to the fair value adjustment to net tangible assets and the amortization related to the amortizable intangible assets are reflected as pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations.
Of the total estimated purchase price, approximately $60.0 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets.
In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives resulting from business combinations completed subsequent to December 31, 2001, will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). In the event that the management of the combined company determines that the value of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for be amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.
G. | To record the notes payable incurred with the purchase of e-pay. See Note C above. |
H. | To record the long-term deferred tax liability of $3.6 million resulting from the amortizable intangible assets acquired with the purchase of e-pay, and other long-term liabilities acquired of $0.2 million. |
I. | To record the common stock issued with the purchase of e-pay. See Note C above. |
J. | To remove the results of Euronet UK from continuing operations and to reflect the fair value of the ATM Services provided under the Services Agreement as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2002. |
K. | The income tax effect of pro forma adjustments is assumed to be nil as there are current period losses in excess of the income from continuing operations. |
L. | To add the results of e-pay to continuing operations and to record interest expense on notes payable incurred and amortization expense on the amortizable intangible assets acquired as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2002. |
M. | To record annual amortization on the amortizable intangible assets acquired with the purchase of e-pay. See Note F above. |
N. | Includes $1.9 million of interest expense on notes payable incurred with the purchase of e-pay. See Notes C and G above. While the deferred consideration bearing 6% interest requires repayments using 90% of e-pays excess free cash flow, this pro forma assumes no payments toward debt were made during the period. |
O. | Includes $1.1 million of income tax benefit associated with interest expense on notes payable incurred and amortization expense on the amortizable intangible assets acquired. |
