In the fourth quarter, net income dropped to $541,000, or 2 cents per share, from $2.04 million, or 18 cents per share, in FY '03. One-time charges of approximately $2 million in Q4 associated with closing the EFunds transaction affected earnings.

Long-term debt increased from $9.8 million at Dec. 31, 2003, to $121.8 million at Dec. 31, 2004, as the result of a $120 million term loan related to the EFunds acquisition.
