NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Equitrac Corporation (Equitrac or the Company) is a leading provider of document management solutions, which are used by companies to manage their office equipment resources. Equitrac’s cost recovery and intelligent print management solutions allow users to bill or allocate incurred costs, maximize office equipment efficiency and contain overhead costs. The Company offers its systems by sale or lease in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada through direct sales offices. The Company’s systems are also available through channel partners and independent dealers on a worldwide basis.
On May 10, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement under which Nuance Communications Inc. (“Nuance”) would acquire all of the Company’s common stock for cash. The transaction was completed in June 2011.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equitrac Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim periods. In the opinion of management of Equitrac Corporation (the “Company”), these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods disclosed. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Although the Company believes the disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in the footnotes prepared in accordance with GAAP has been omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, provisions for doubtful accounts, obsolete

inventories, the useful lives of long-lived assets and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
With the exception of the adoption of the accounting pronouncements discussed below related to revenue recognition, we have made no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective March 1, 2011, we adopted the provisions in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14. Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements (“ASU 2009-14”). The provisions of ASU 2009-13 apply to arrangements that are outside the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and amend Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 to (1) provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using the best estimated selling prices (“BESP”) of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price; and (3) eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 modifies the scope of ASC Topic 985 to remove industry specific revenue accounting guidance for software and software related transactions, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality.
For multiple-element arrangements that contain both software and non-software elements such as software licenses sold with hardware, we allocate revenue to software or software related elements and any non-software elements separately based on the selling price hierarchy. We determine the selling price for each deliverable using VSOE of selling price, if it exists, or TPE of selling price. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exist for a deliverable, we use our BESP for that deliverable. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met for each element.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued
Adoption of New Accounting Standards — Continued
Typically, neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exist for our: i) products and ii) service and support services; therefore, we use BESP for the purposes of allocating the arrangement consideration. We determine BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, major product groupings, market conditions, competitive landscape, price list and discounting practice.
Once the arrangement’s fees have been allocated into i) software and software related elements and ii) non-software elements based upon BESP, revenue is recognized as follows:
    Software licenses and software related maintenance and support is recognized ratably over the maintenance and support period once maintenance and support is the only undelivered element.
 
    Hardware is generally recognized upon shipment, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met Non-software maintenance is recognized over the maintenance and support period.
 
    Other non-software services and support are recognized as the services are performed.
Revenue recognized during the three month period ended May 31, 2011 is comprised of arrangements entered into or materially modified both prior and after March 1, 2011. Arrangements entered into prior to March 1, 2011 are accounted for under the existing software revenue recognition guidance. Arrangements entered into or materially modified after March 1, 2011 are accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance. Revenue is comprised as follows:
         
    Three Months

    May 31, 2011

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and net unrealized gains and losses on certain derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges. Tax effects of comprehensive income (loss) have not been material. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of fair value measurements are defined in Note 10 below. ASU 2010-06 was effective for the Company for the interim reporting period beginning March 1, 2010, except for the provisions related to activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2010-06 impacts disclosure only and therefore, did not, and is not expected to, have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 — LEASING TRANSACTIONS AND SERVICE AGREEMENTS
The Company rents systems to customers under operating rental agreements generally for terms of 36 to 60 months. The Company’s existing rentals include all service and system support. The lessee is responsible for risk of loss, theft or damage to the equipment. The majority of the lessees pay the lease amount in monthly installments and are liable for the full contractual obligation upon cancellation.
Customers who purchase a system usually purchase related maintenance on a separate service agreement.
Future minimum contractual payments to be received under noncancelable operating rental agreements and service agreements as of May 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4 — LONG-TERM DEBT AND WARRANTS
(a) Long-Term Debt
In December 2009, the Company entered into credit agreements with availability totaling up to $41,000,000. In November 2010 the agreements were amended to allow for borrowings up to $52,500,000. Proceeds from the December 2009 borrowings under these agreements were used to retire all debt under the existing credit facility and to redeem a portion of the preferred stock including accrued dividends.
The amended credit agreements provide for a senior term note in the amount of $20,000,000, subordinated term notes in the amount of $16,000,000 and $11,500,000, and a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit of which $4,723,000 is available as of May 31, 2011.
Interest on the senior term loan and revolving line of credit are based on the bank’s prime rate or the LIBOR rate, as elected by the Company, plus specified margins, and are secured by all of the assets of the Company.
Interest on the $16,000,000 subordinate term loan totals 17.5% which is comprised of 12% cash paid on a monthly basis and 5.5% paid in kind due at maturity.

NOTE 4 — LONG-TERM DEBT AND WARRANTS — Continued
(a) Long-Term Debt — Continued
Interest on the $11,500,000 subordinate term loan totals 14% which is comprised of 12% cash paid on a monthly basis and 2% paid in kind due at maturity.
The effective rates of interest on the combined debt outstanding were 11.3% and 12.7% at May 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
The Company pays a monthly commitment fee of 0.75% on the average daily unused amount of the revolving line of credit. Payments of approximately $36,000 and $11,000 were charged to interest expense in the three month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(b) Common Stock Warrants
The November 2010 senior subordinated notes included detachable common stock purchase warrants for total cash proceeds of $11,500,000. The detachable common stock warrants entitle the holders to purchase 700,234 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share and are exercisable at any time prior to November 18, 2020. At the option of either the holder or the Company, any common stock issued in connection with the exercise of the warrants, can be redeemed in cash. The redemption price shall equal fair market as determined by the Board of Directors, or by a mutually agreed upon independent financial expert.
Upon issuance the warrants were valued at $715,384 based on an assessment of the residual value of the subordinated notes and common stock considering principally the fair value of the common stock. The estimated value of the warrant obligation is reported in other noncurrent liabilities. The subordinated notes were recorded net of the $715,384 discount. The estimated fair value of the warrants at May 31, 2011 was $3,469,000.

The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many States and certain foreign jurisdictions. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, all years prior to fiscal 2010 are closed.
Management believes that an adequate provision has been made for any potential adjustments that may result from future tax examinations. The outcome of such future tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into investments in financial instruments to manage its cost of borrowing and to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue such financial instruments for trading purposes.
In February 2010, the Company entered into twenty-four monthly currency forward contracts to offset some of the foreign exchange risk expected of future cash flows with its Canadian subsidiary. The individual monthly contracts continue through February 2012 on a notional amount of $325,000 CAD per month.
The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments. The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in general and administrative expense. The fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $247,000 as of May 31, 2011 and $315,000 as of February 28, 2011.
The Company recorded net unrealized gains associated with cash flow hedges of approximately $(68,000) and $74,000, net of taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two month time period. Unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into earnings through general and administrative expenses. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments are also reflected in current earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions. The Company did not recognize any net gains or losses related to the loss of hedge designation on discontinued cash flow hedges or as a result of ineffectiveness during the three month periods ended May 31, 2011 and 2010.
NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES — Continued
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
  Level 1 —   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2 —   Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 3 —   Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of May 31, 2011, the fair values of assets and liabilities that were valued using the market approach are categorized as follows:
