FAIR ISAAC CORP - 10-Q - 20070507 - NOTES_TO_FINANCIAL_STATEMENT
FAIR ISAAC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
   Fair Isaac Corporation
     Incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, Fair Isaac Corporation is a provider of analytic, software and data management products and services that enable businesses to automate and improve decisions. Fair Isaac Corporation provides a range of analytical solutions, credit scoring and credit account management products and services to banks, credit reporting agencies, credit card processing agencies, insurers, retailers, telecommunications providers, healthcare organizations and government agencies.
     In these condensed consolidated financial statements, Fair Isaac Corporation is referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Fair Isaac.”
   Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
     We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the standards of accounting measurement set forth in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28 and any amendments thereto adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Consequently, we have not necessarily included in this Form 10-Q all information and footnotes required for audited financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006. The interim financial information contained in this report is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fair Isaac and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
   Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessing the following: the recoverability of accounts receivable, goodwill and other intangible assets, software development costs and deferred tax assets; estimated losses associated with contingencies and litigation; the ability to estimate hours in connection with fixed-fee service contracts, the ability to estimate transactional-based revenues for which actual transaction volumes have not yet been received, the determination of whether fees are fixed or determinable and collection is probable or reasonably assured; and the development of assumptions for use in the Black-Scholes model that estimates the fair value of our share-based awards and assessing forfeiture rates of share-based awards.
2. Amortization of Intangible Assets
     Amortization expense associated with our intangible assets, which has been reflected as a separate operating expense caption within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, consisted of the following:
                                 
    Quarter Ended     Six Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2007     2006     2007     2006

     Cost of revenues reflects our amortization of completed technology, and selling, general and administrative expenses reflects our amortization of other intangible assets. Intangible assets were $72.7 million and $90.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $93.6 million and $84.5 million, as of March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
3. Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Expenses
     The following table summarizes our restructuring and acquisition-related accruals associated with acquisitions and certain Fair Isaac facility closures. The current portion and non-current portion is recorded in other accrued current liabilities and other long-term liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These balances are expected to be paid by fiscal 2012.

4. Sale of Product Line Assets
     In March 2007, we sold the assets and products associated with our mortgage banking solutions product line for $15.8 million in cash. This amount includes $1.5 million in escrow balance to cover various indemnification and unidentified liabilities and a $0.4 million receivable for a post-closing working capital adjustment. The primary assets sold include accounts receivable, certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. We recognized a $1.5 million pre-tax gain, but a $0.4 million after-tax loss on the sale due to goodwill associated with the mortgage banking solutions product line that was not deductible for income tax purposes. We acquired the mortgage banking solutions through our May 2004 acquisition of London Bridge Software Holdings plc. The assets sold include software and e-commerce services used in the origination processing, underwriting, pricing, product definition, closing, secondary marketing, servicing, and default management of mortgage and construction loans, and BridgeLinkTM e-Services for the mortgage industry. Revenues attributable to the mortgage banking solutions product line for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $3.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $7.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
5. Share-Based Payment
     We maintain the 1992 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “1992 Plan”) under which we may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and common stock to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. Under the 1992 Plan, a number of shares equal to 4% of the number of shares of Fair Isaac common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year is added to the shares available under this plan each fiscal year, provided that the number of shares for grants of incentive stock options for the remaining term of this plan shall not exceed 5,062,500 shares. The 1992 Plan will terminate in February 2012. In November 2003, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2003 Employment Inducement Award Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan reserves 2,250,000 shares of common stock solely for the granting of inducement stock options and other awards, as defined, that meet the “employment inducement award” exception to the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards requiring shareholder approval of equity-based inducement incentive plans. Except for the employment inducement award criteria, awards under the 2003 Plan will be generally consistent with those made under our 1992 Plan. The 2003 Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Directors. We also maintain individual stock option plans for certain of our executive officers and the chairman of the board. Stock option awards granted since October 1, 2005 typically have a maximum term of seven years and vest ratably over four years. Stock option awards granted prior to October 1, 2005, typically had a maximum term of ten years and vest ratably over four years.
     Under our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 5,062,500 shares of common stock to eligible employees. Employees may have up to 10% of their base salary withheld through payroll deductions to purchase Fair Isaac common stock during semi-annual offering periods. The purchase price of the stock is the lower of 85% of (i) the fair market value of the common stock on the enrollment date (the first day of the offering period), or (ii) the fair market value on the exercise date (the last

(Unaudited)
day of each offering period). Offering period means approximately six-month periods commencing (a) on the first trading day on or after January 1 and terminating on the last trading day in the following June, and (b) on the first trading day on or after July 1 and terminating on the last trading day in the following December.
     We estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on a combination of the implied volatility of publicly traded options on our common stock and our historical volatility rate, consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). Our decision to use implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on our common stock and our assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility. We estimate expected term consistent with the simplified method identified in SAB 107 for share-based awards. We elected to use the simplified method as we changed the contractual life for share-based awards from ten to seven years starting in fiscal 2006. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting and contractual terms of the award. Previously, we estimated expected term based on historical exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the term of our employee options. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. For options granted, we amortize the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options.
     The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Upon vesting, restricted stock units will convert into an equivalent number of shares of common stock.
6. Earnings Per Share
     The following reconciles the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”):
                                 
    Quarter Ended     Six Months Ended

Earnings per share:

  $ 0.38     $ 0.41     $ 0.92     $ 0.86  
 
                       
Diluted
  $ 0.37     $ 0.40     $ 0.89     $ 0.83  
 
                       
     The computation of diluted EPS for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, excludes options to purchase approximately 3,243,000 and 2,530,000 shares of common stock, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, excludes options to purchase approximately 3,331,000 and 1,589,000 shares of common stock, respectively, because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock in these periods and their inclusion would be antidilutive.
7. Segment Information
     We are organized into the following four reportable segments, to align with the internal management of our worldwide business operations based on product and service offerings:
    Strategy Machine Solutions. These are pre-configured Enterprise Decision Management (“EDM”) applications designed for a specific type of business problem or process, such as marketing, account origination, customer management, fraud and medical bill review. This segment also includes our myFICO solutions for consumers.

    Scoring Solutions. Our scoring solutions give our clients access to analytics that can be easily integrated into their transaction streams and decision-making processes. Our scoring solutions are distributed through major credit reporting agencies, as well as services through which we provide our scores to lenders directly.
 
    Professional Services. Through our professional services, we tailor our EDM products to our clients’ environments, and we design more effective decisioning environments for our clients. This segment includes revenues from custom engagements, business solution and technical consulting services, systems integration services, and data management services.
 
    Analytic Software Tools. This segment is composed of software tools that clients can use to create their own custom EDM applications.
     Our Chief Executive Officer evaluates segment financial performance based on segment revenues and operating income. Segment operating expenses consist of direct and indirect costs principally related to personnel, facilities, consulting, travel, depreciation and amortization. Indirect costs are allocated to the segments generally based on relative segment revenues, fixed rates established by management based upon estimated expense contribution levels and other assumptions that management considers reasonable. We do not allocate share-based compensation expense, restructuring and acquisition-related expense and certain other income and expense measures to our segments. These income and expense items are not allocated because they are not considered in evaluating the segment’s operating performance. Our Chief Executive Officer does not evaluate the financial performance of each segment based on its respective assets or capital expenditures; rather, depreciation and amortization amounts are allocated to the segments from their internal cost centers as described above.

8. Income Taxes
     Our effective tax rate was 41.8% and 36.1% during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 35.9% and 36.4% during the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The provision for income taxes during interim quarterly reporting periods is based on our estimates of the effective tax rates for the respective full fiscal year.
     Our effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2007 was adversely impacted by the sale of our mortgage banking solutions product line, due to $3.3 million of goodwill associated with the product line that was not deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, the sale increased our effective tax rate by 3.6% and 1.7% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, the increase in our effective tax rate was the result of our inability to recognize tax benefits on losses in certain foreign jurisdictions.
     In addition to the factors described in the preceding paragraph, our effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2007, was favorably impacted by a benefit of $1.8 million related to a favorable settlement of a state tax examination. Our effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the recognition of $0.5 million of U.S. federal research tax credits related to fiscal 2006. We were unable to recognize these credits during the last nine months of fiscal 2006 as legislation providing for this credit had expired. In fiscal 2007, legislation was enacted that provided for retroactive extension of this credit.
9. Credit Agreement
     In October 2006, we entered into a five-year $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility may be increased to $500 million subject to certain terms and conditions. Proceeds from the credit facility can be used for capital requirements and general business purposes and may be used for the refinancing of existing debt, acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. Interest on amounts borrowed under the credit facility is based on (i) a base rate, which is the greater of (a) the prime rate and (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The margin on LIBOR borrowings ranges from 0.30% to 0.55% and is determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we must pay utilization fees if borrowings and commitments under the credit facility exceed 50% of the total credit facility commitment, as well as facility fees. The credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of consolidated leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The credit facility contains other covenants typical of unsecured facilities. As of March 31, 2007, we had $70.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at an average interest rate of 5.675%.
10. Contingencies
     We are in disputes with certain customers regarding amounts owed in connection with the sale of certain of our products and services. We also have had claims asserted by former employees relating to compensation and other employment matters. We are also involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that none of these aforementioned claims or actions will result in a material adverse impact to our consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. However, the amount or range of any potential liabilities associated with these claims and actions, if any, cannot be determined with certainty. Set forth below is additional detail concerning certain ongoing litigation.
Customer Claims
     We are party to two separate lawsuits involving two different customers who have asserted that our performance under professional services contracts with such customers has caused them to incur damages. One customer’s lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and the other is pending as a counterclaim to a collection lawsuit that we commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The customers in these matters have claimed damages in excess of $10 million. We believe that these claims are without merit, and we intend to contest them vigorously. We also believe that the resolution of these claims will not result in a material adverse impact to our consolidated financial condition.
Putative Consumer Class Action Lawsuits
     We are a defendant in a lawsuit captioned as Robbie Hillis v. Equifax Consumer Services, Inc. and Fair Isaac, Inc. , which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The plaintiff claims that the defendants have jointly sold the Score Power ® credit score product in violation of certain procedural requirements under the Credit Repair Organizations Act (“CROA”), and in violation of the antifraud provisions of that statute. The plaintiff also claims that the defendants are “credit repair organizations” under CROA. The plaintiff is seeking certification of a class on behalf of all individuals who purchased products

containing Score Power from the defendants in the five year period prior to the filing of the Complaint on November 14, 2004. The plaintiff claims damages of an unspecified amount, and further claims that Equifax and Fair Isaac were unjustly enriched such that all payments should be refunded. On February 5, 2007, the plaintiff, Equifax and Fair Isaac entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve this lawsuit and the Christy Slack lawsuit (described below). This matter and the Christy Slack matter were consolidated in the Northern District of Georgia, and the Settlement Agreement was preliminarily approved by the Court on February 8, 2007. Under the terms of the settlement, Fair Isaac will pay a portion of the plaintiff’s legal fees, will provide three months of its ScoreWatch product for free to participating class members, and will make certain changes to its myfico.com website. Fair Isaac has delivered notices to class members and is awaiting a hearing on or about June 4, 2007, to seek final approval of the settlement and to have a final judgment entered.
     We are a defendant in a lawsuit captioned as Christy Slack v. Fair Isaac Corporation and MyFICO Consumer Services, Inc. , which is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. As in the Hillis matter, the plaintiff is claiming that the defendants violated certain procedural requirements of CROA, and violated the antifraud provisions of CROA, with respect to the sale of credit score products on our myFICO.com website. The plaintiff also claims that the defendants violated the California Credit Services Act (the “CSA”) and were unjustly enriched. The plaintiff has sought certification of a class on behalf of all individuals who purchased credit score products from us on the myFICO.com website in the five year period prior to the filing of the Complaint on January 18, 2005. This matter is subject to the Settlement Agreement described in the previous paragraph.
     If the Court approves the settlement and judgment becomes final, Fair Isaac will be released from liability for the claims asserted in the Hillis and Slack lawsuits and the Court will issue an injunction to implement the referenced changes to the myFICO.com website. We believe the resolution of these claims in accordance with the Settlement Agreement will not result in a material adverse impact to our consolidated financial condition.
Braun Consulting, Inc.
     Braun (which we acquired in November 2004) was a defendant in a lawsuit filed on November 26, 2001, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 01 CV 10629) that alleges violations of federal securities laws in connection with Braun’s initial public offering in August 1999. This lawsuit is among approximately 300 coordinated putative class actions against certain issuers, their officers and directors, and underwriters with respect to such issuers’ initial public offerings. As successor in interest to Braun, we have entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding, along with most of the other defendant issuers in this coordinated litigation, whereby such issuers and their officers and directors will be dismissed with prejudice, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, approval of the court. Under the terms of this agreement, we will not pay any amount of the settlement.
11. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2007. We are in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements , which provided the Staff’s view regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires an entity to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and income statement approach to determine if a misstatement is material. The evaluation requirements of SAB No. 108 are effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We are in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measures , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings for items measured using the fair value option. SFAS 159 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of determining what effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
