CARDTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. General and Basis of Presentation
General
Cardtronics, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or
Cardtronics), owns and operates approximately 23,400 automated teller machines (ATM) in all 50
states and approximately 1,500 ATMs located throughout the United Kingdom. Additionally, the
Company owns a majority interest in an entity that operates over 500 ATMs located throughout
Mexico. The Company provides ATM management and equipment-related services (typically under
multi-year contracts) to large, nationally-known retail merchants as well as smaller retailers and
operators of facilities such as shopping malls and airports. Additionally, the Company operates
the largest surcharge-free ATM network within the United States (based on number of participating
ATMs) and works with financial institutions to brand the Companys ATMs in order to provide their
banking customers with convenient, surcharge-free ATM access.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cardtronics, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We prepared this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the rules and regulations of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial information.
Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include
all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q along with the Companys 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which includes a summary of our significant accounting policies and other
disclosures.
The financial statements as of March 31, 2007, and for the three month periods ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, was derived from the
audited balance sheet filed in the Companys 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, we
have made all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the Companys interim period results. The results of operations for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Additionally, our financial
statements for prior periods include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current
period presentation. Those reclassifications did not impact our reported net loss or stockholders
deficit.
The preparation of 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 of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences could be material to the financial statements.
2. Acquisitions
Acquisition of CCS Mexico
In February 2006, the Company acquired a 51.0% ownership stake in CCS Mexico, an independent
ATM operator located in Mexico, for approximately $1.0 million in cash consideration and the
assumption of approximately $0.4 million in additional liabilities. Additionally, the Company
incurred approximately $0.3 million in transaction costs associated with this acquisition. CCS
Mexico, which was renamed Cardtronics Mexico upon the completion of the Companys investment,
currently operates over 500 surcharging ATMs in selected retail locations throughout Mexico, and
the Company anticipates placing additional surcharging ATMs in other retail establishments
throughout Mexico as those opportunities arise.
The Company has allocated the total purchase consideration to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Such
allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $0.7 million. Such goodwill, which is not
deductible for tax purposes, has been assigned to a separate reporting unit representing the
acquired CCS Mexico operations. Additionally, such allocation resulted in approximately $0.4
million in identifiable intangible assets, including $0.3 million for certain acquired customer
contracts and $0.1 million related to non-compete agreements entered into with the minority
interest shareholders of Cardtronics Mexico.
4
Because the Company owns a majority interest in and absorbs a majority of the entitys losses
or returns, Cardtronics Mexico is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements, with the remaining ownership interest not held by the
Company being reflected as a minority interest.
3. Stock-based Compensation
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R). As a result of this
adoption, the Company now records the grant date fair value of share-based compensation
arrangements, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over
the underlying service periods of the related awards. The following table reflects the total
stock-based compensation expense amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31:

4. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. Accumulated other
comprehensive income is displayed as a separate component of stockholders deficit in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and consists of unrealized gains, net of related
income taxes, related to changes in the fair values of the Companys interest rate swap derivative
transactions and the cumulative amount of foreign currency translation adjustments associated with
the Companys foreign operations. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, accumulated other
comprehensive income includes unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of
income taxes. These securities were sold in January 2007.
The following table presents the calculation of comprehensive income (loss), which includes
the Companys (i) net loss; (ii) foreign currency translation adjustments; (iii) unrealized
(losses) gains associated with the Companys interest rate hedging activities, net of income taxes;
and (iv) reclassifications of unrealized gains on the Companys available-for-sale securities, net
of income taxes, for the three months ended March 31:

The Company currently believes that the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will
be reinvested in the foreign countries in which those subsidiaries operate for an indefinite period
of time. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for on the differences between the
Companys book basis and underlying tax basis in those subsidiaries or on the foreign currency
translation adjustment amounts reflected in the tables above.

The Companys intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over the assets
estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three
to twelve years for customer contracts and relationships and four to eight years for exclusive
license agreements. The Company has also assumed an estimated life of four years for its
non-compete agreements. Deferred financing costs are amortized through interest expense over the
contractual term of the underlying borrowings utilizing the effective interest method. The Company
periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets, taking into
consideration any events or circumstances that might result in a reduction in fair value or a
revision of those estimated useful lives.
Amortization of customer contracts and relationships, exclusive license agreements, and
non-compete agreements totaled $2.5 million and $5.0 million for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such amounts include approximately $0.1 million and $2.8
million, respectively, in additional amortization expense related to the impairments of the
intangible assets associated with two acquired ATM portfolios within the Companys U.S reporting
segment. The impairment taken in the first quarter of 2007 was the result of the anticipated
non-renewal of a contract included within a previously acquired portfolio. The impairment taken in
the first quarter of 2006 related to the acquired BAS Communications, Inc. (BASC) ATM portfolio
and was attributable to the anticipated reduction in future cash flows resulting from a higher than
anticipated attrition rate associated with such portfolio. In January 2007, the Company received
approximately $0.8 million in net proceeds from an escrow account established upon the initial
closing of this acquisition. Such proceeds were meant to compensate the Company for the
aforementioned attrition issues encountered with the BASC portfolio subsequent to the acquisition
date. Such amount was utilized to reduce the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset
amount associated with this portfolio.
6
Amortization of deferred financing costs and bond discount totaled $0.4 million for each of
the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Additionally, the Company wrote-off
approximately $0.5 million in deferred financing costs in February 2006 in connection with certain
modifications made to the Companys existing revolving credit facilities.
Estimated amortization expense for the Companys intangible assets with definite lives for the
remaining nine months of 2007, each of the next five years, and thereafter is as follows:

Credit Facility
In February 2006, the Company amended its then existing revolving credit facility to remove
and modify certain restrictive covenants contained within the facility and to reduce the maximum
borrowing capacity from $150.0 million to $125.0 million. As a result of this amendment, the
Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.5 million associated with the write-off of
previously deferred financing costs related to the facility. Additionally, the Company incurred
approximately $0.1 million in fees associated with such amendment. Although the maximum borrowing
capacity was reduced, the overall effect of the amendment was to increase the Companys liquidity
and financial flexibility through the removal and modification of certain restrictive covenants
contained in the previous revolving credit facility. Such covenants, which were originally
structured to accommodate an acquisitive growth strategy, have either been eliminated or modified
to reflect a greater reliance on the Companys internal growth initiatives. The
7
primary restrictive
covenants within the facility now include (i) limitations on the amount of senior debt that the
Company can have outstanding at any given point in time, (ii) the maintenance of a set ratio of
earnings to fixed charges, as computed on a rolling 12-month basis, (iii) limitations on the
amounts of restricted payments that can be made in any given year, including dividends, and (iv)
limitations on the amount of capital expenditures that the Company can incur on a rolling 12-month
basis.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which mature in May 2010, bear interest at the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread, which was 3.25% as of March 31, 2007.
Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the
revolving credit facility. Substantially all of the Companys assets, including the stock of its
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and 66.0% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries, are pledged
to secure borrowings made under the revolving credit facility. Furthermore, each of the Companys
domestic subsidiaries has guaranteed the Companys obligations under such facility. There are
currently no restrictions on the ability of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries to declare and
pay dividends directly to the Company. As of March 31, 2007, the Companys borrowing capacity was
$45.0 million and the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios in effect
at that time. The $45.0 million of additional borrowing capacity is less than the total borrowing
capacity of the facility (less amounts currently outstanding) due to covenants contained within the
facility that limit the amount the Company can borrow based on historical cash flows. As the
Company grows and increases its cash flows, the full $125.0 million credit facility could become
available to the Company.
In May 2007, the Company further amended its revolving credit facility to modify, among other
things, (i) the interest rate spreads on outstanding borrowings and other pricing terms and (ii)
certain restrictive covenants contained within the facility. As a result of this amendment, the
interest incurred by the Company on outstanding borrowings under the facility is now based on
spreads that are comparable to the market pricing for a company with a debt profile and a credit
standing as that of Cardtronics. Such modification should allow for reduced interest expense in
future periods, assuming a constant level of borrowings. Furthermore, the amendment increased the
amount of capital expenditures that the Company can incur on a rolling 12-month basis from $50.0
million to $60.0 million. This increase provides the Company the ability to maintain the level of
expenditures initially anticipated for 2007, which are primarily intended to fund organic growth
projects in all of the Companys operating segments, including the purchasing of ATMs for existing
as well as new ATM management agreements.
Senior Subordinated Notes
In October 2006, the Company completed the registration of its $200.0 million in senior
subordinated notes (the Notes), which were originally issued in August 2005 pursuant to Rule 144A
of the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes, which are subordinate to borrowings made under the
revolving credit facility, mature in August 2013 and carry a 9.25% coupon with an effective yield
of 9.375%. Interest under the Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on February 15th and August
15th of each year. Net proceeds from the offering, after taking into consideration direct offering
costs, totaled approximately $192.0 million. Such proceeds, along with cash on hand and borrowings
under the Companys revolving credit facility, were utilized to repay all of the outstanding
borrowings, including accrued but unpaid interest, under the Companys previously outstanding first
and second lien term loan facilities. The Notes, which are guaranteed by the Companys domestic
subsidiaries, contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Companys ability to
incur additional indebtedness and make certain types of restricted payments, including dividends.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants required under
the Notes.
Other Facilities
In addition to the above revolving credit facility, the Companys wholly-owned U.K.
subsidiary, Bank Machine, has a £2.0 million unsecured overdraft facility that expires in July
2007. Such facility, which bears interest at 1.75% over the banks base rate (currently 5.50%), is
utilized for general corporate purposes for the Companys United Kingdom operations. As of March
31, 2007, a portion of this overdraft facility had been utilized to post a £275,000 bond. As of
December 31, 2006, approximately £1.9 million of this overdraft facility had been utilized to help
fund certain working capital commitments and to post the aforementioned bond. Amounts outstanding
under the overdraft facility as of December 31, 2006, other than those amounts utilized for posting
bonds, have been reflected in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet, as such amounts are automatically repaid once cash deposits are made to the underlying bank
accounts. No amounts, other than the aforementioned bond, were outstanding under the overdraft
facility as of March 31, 2007.
In November 2006, Cardtronics Mexico entered into a five-year loan agreement. Such agreement,
which bears interest at 11.03%, was utilized for the purchase of additional ATMs to support the
Companys Mexico operations. The initial borrowing under the facility was made in November 2006
and totaled $9.4 million pesos. In February 2007, a second five-year agreement was entered into
between the lender and Cardtronics Mexico, at which time the Company borrowed an additional $18.3
million pesos. The additional borrowing bears interest at 11.02%. As of March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, approximately $27.4 million pesos ($2.5 million U.S.) and $9.3 million pesos
($858,000 U.S.), respectively, were outstanding under these facilities, with future borrowings to
be individually negotiated between the lender and Cardtronics. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreements, Cardtronics, Inc. has issued a guaranty for 51.0% (its ownership percentage in
Cardtronics Mexico) of the obligations under the loan agreements. As of March 31,
8
2007, the total
amount of the guaranty was $14.0 million pesos ($1.3 million U.S.) In April 2007, a third five-year
financing agreement was entered into, under which Cardtronics Mexico borrowed an additional $17.3
million pesos (approximately $1.6 million U.S.) in May 2007, which bears interest at 11.02%.

The minority interest in subsidiary amount as of December 31, 2006, represents the equity
interests of the minority shareholders of Cardtronics Mexico. As of March 31, 2007, the cumulative
losses generated by Cardtronics Mexico and allocable to such minority interest shareholders
exceeded the underlying equity amounts of such minority interest shareholders. Accordingly, all
future losses generated by Cardtronics Mexico will be allocated 100% to Cardtronics until such time
that Cardtronics Mexico generates a cumulative amount of earnings sufficient to cover all excess
losses allocable to the Company, or until such time that the minority interest shareholders
contribute additional equity to Cardtronics Mexico in an amount sufficient to cover such losses.
As of March 31, 2007, the cumulative amount of excess losses allocated to Cardtronics totaled
approximately $35,000.
9. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143, Asset
Retirement Obligations. Asset retirement obligations consist primarily of deinstallation costs of
the ATM and the costs to restore the ATM site to its original condition. The Company is legally
required to perform this deinstallation and restoration work. In accordance with SFAS No. 143, for
each group of ATMs, the Company recognized the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation and capitalized that cost as part of the cost basis of the related asset. The related
assets are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
underlying ATMs, and the related liabilities are being accreted to their full value over the same
period of time.

During 2005, the Company issued 929,789 shares of its Series B preferred stock, of which
894,568 shares were issued to TA Associates for $75.0 million in proceeds and the remaining 35,221
shares were issued as partial consideration for the Bank Machine acquisition. The Series B
preferred shareholders have certain preferences to the Companys common shareholders, including
board representation rights and the right to receive their original issue price prior to any
distributions being made to the common shareholders as part of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company. As of March 31, 2007, the liquidation value of the shares totaled $78.0
million. In addition, the Series B preferred shares are convertible into the same number of shares
of the Companys common stock, as adjusted for future stock splits and the issuance of dilutive
securities. The Series B preferred shares have no stated dividends and are redeemable at the
option of a majority of the Series B holders at any time on or after the earlier of (i) December
2013 and (ii) the date that is 123 days after the first day that none of the Companys 9.25% senior
subordinated notes remain outstanding, but in no event earlier than February 2012.
The carrying value of the Companys Series B preferred stock was $76.7 million and $76.6
million, net of unaccreted issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Such issuance costs
9
are being accreted on a
straight-line basis through February 2012, which represents the earliest optional redemption date
outlined above.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
National Federation of the Blind (NFB). In connection with its acquisition of the E*TRADE
Access, Inc. (ETA) ATM portfolio, the Company assumed ETAs interests and liability for a lawsuit
instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the Court) by
the NFB, the NFBs Massachusetts chapter, and several individual blind persons (collectively, the
Private Plaintiffs) as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to claims relating
to the alleged inaccessibility of ATMs for those persons who are visually-impaired. After the
acquisition of the ETA ATM portfolio, the Private Plaintiffs named Cardtronics as a co-defendant
with ETA and ETAs parent E*Trade Bank, and the scope of the lawsuit has expanded to include both
ETAs ATMs as well as the Companys pre-existing ATM portfolio.
In this lawsuit, the Private Plaintiffs have sought to require ETA and Cardtronics to make all
of the ATMs voice-enabled, or capable of providing audible instructions to a visually-impaired
person upon that person inserting a headset plug into an outlet at the ATM. The Court has ruled
twice (in February 2005 and February 2006) that the Private Plaintiffs are not entitled to a
voice-enabled remedy. Nonetheless, in response to an order to describe the relief they seek, the
Private Plaintiffs have subsequently stated that they demand either (i) voice-guidance technology
on each ATM; (ii) Braille instructions on each ATM that allow individuals who are blind to
understand every screen (which, we assume, may imply a dynamic Braille pad); or (iii) a telephone
on each ATM so the user could speak with a remote operator who can either see the screen on the ATM
or can enter information for the user.
Cardtronics has asserted numerous defenses to the lawsuit. One defense is that, for ATMs owned
by third parties, the Company does not have the right to make changes to the ATMs without the
consent of the third parties. Another defense is that the ADA does not require the Company to make
changes to ATMs if the changes are not feasible or achievable, or if the costs outweigh the
benefits. The costs of retrofitting or replacing existing ATMs with voice technology, dynamic
Braille keypads, or telephones and interactive data lines would be significant. Additionally, in
situations in which the ATMs are owned by third parties and Cardtronics provides processing
services, the costs are extremely disproportionate to the Companys interests in the ATMs.
Moreover, recent depositions taken of six individuals, which the Private Plaintiffs have requested
the Court to add as additional plaintiffs, demonstrates that the NFB is interested only in
voice-guidance, which (as noted above) the Court has twice ruled that this remedy is not available.
Based upon this revelation, Cardtronics has renewed its motion of summary judgment because of the
Private Plaintiffs failure to identify a non-voice remedy that will make Cardtronics-owned or
operated ATMs accessible.
Cardtronics has also challenged the Private Plaintiffs standing to file this lawsuit. In
response to the Companys challenge, the Private Plaintiffs have requested the Courts permission
to (i) amend their complaint to name additional individual plaintiffs and (ii) certify the lawsuit
as a class action under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Cardtronics has objected to the
Private Plaintiffs motion, on the grounds that the plaintiffs who initially filed the lawsuit
lacked standing and this deficiency arguably cannot be cured by amending the complaint. Hearings
on both the standing issue and Cardtronics motion for summary judgment are expected to occur
during the second quarter of 2007.
Other matters. In June 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of the Companys merchant
customers, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (the Federal Action). The complaint, which was formally served to the Company in September
2006, alleged that Cardtronics had breached an ATM operating agreement between the parties by
failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of fees under the agreement. The Customer is
claiming that it is owed no less than $600,000 in lost revenues, exclusive of interests and costs,
and projects that additional damages will accrue to them at a rate of approximately $100,000 per
month, exclusive of interest and costs. On October 6, 2006, the Company filed a petition in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that it had not breached the
ATM operating agreement. On October 10, 2006, the Customer filed a second complaint, this time in
New York State Supreme Court, alleging the same claims it had alleged in the Federal Action.
Subsequently, the Customer withdrew the Federal Action because the federal court did not have
subject matter jurisdiction. Additionally, Cardtronics has voluntarily dismissed the Texas
lawsuit, electing to litigate the above-described claims in the New York State Supreme Court. The
Company believes that it will ultimately prevail upon the merits in this matter, although it gives
no assurance as to the final outcome. Furthermore, the Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of this dispute will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial
condition or results of operations.
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary
course of its business. The Company has provided reserves where necessary for all claims and the
Companys management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or
collectively, to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of
operations.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a result of its variable-rate debt and ATM cash management activities, the Company is
exposed to changes in interest rates (LIBOR in the U.S. and the U.K. and the Mexican Interbank Rate
(TIIE) in Mexico). It is the Companys policy to limit the variability of a portion of its
expected future interest payments as a result of changes in LIBOR by utilizing certain types of
derivative financial instruments.
To meet the above objective, the Company entered into several LIBOR-based interest rate swaps
during 2004 and 2005 to fix the interest rate paid on $300.0 million of the Companys current and
anticipated outstanding ATM cash balances in the United States. The effect of such swaps was to fix
the interest rate paid on the following notional amounts for the periods identified (in thousands):

Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to the Companys
Cost of ATM operating revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the gains or losses
incurred as a result of ineffectiveness associated with the Companys interest rate swaps were
immaterial.
The Companys interest rate swaps have been classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Accordingly,
changes in the fair values of the Companys interest rate swaps have been reported in accumulated
other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the unrealized gains on such swaps totaled approximately $5.2
million and $7.1 million and have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income net of
income taxes of $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to
hedge its variable interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico.

13. Segment Information
As of March 31, 2007, our operations consisted of our United States, United Kingdom, and
Mexico segments. While each of these reportable segments provides similar ATM-related services, we
manage each segment separately, as each requires different marketing and business strategies. All
intercompany transactions between the Companys reportable segments have been eliminated. The
following summarizes certain financial data by reportable segment for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, and as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

14. New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company
adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
The Company applied the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions upon its initial adoption
effective January 1, 2007, and determined that no cumulative effect adjustment was required as of
such date. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had a $0.2 million reserve for uncertain tax positions
recorded pursuant to FIN 48.
12
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial
statements.
Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which provides allows companies the
option to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The provisions of
SFAS No. 159 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial
statements.
15. Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are
identified by the use of the words believe, expect, anticipate, will, contemplate,
would, and similar expressions that contemplate future events. Numerous important factors,
risks, and uncertainties may affect our operating results, including, without limitation, risks and
uncertainties relating to trends in ATM usage and alternative payment options; declines in, or
system failures that interrupt or delay, ATM transactions; the Companys reliance on third parties
for cash management and other key outsourced services; decreases in the number of ATMs that can be
placed with the Companys top merchants; the Companys ability to continue to execute its growth
strategies; risks associated with the acquisition of other ATM networks; increased industry
competition; increased regulation and regulatory uncertainty; changes in interest rates; changes in
the ATM transaction fees the Company receives; changes in ATM technology; changes in foreign
currency rates; and general and economic conditions. As a result, our future results may differ
materially from the results implied by these or any other forward-looking statements made by us or
on our behalf, and there can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations. All of
our forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, are expressly qualified by these
cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking
statements. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.
With this in mind, you should consider the risks discussed elsewhere in this report and other
documents we file with the SEC from time to time and the following important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement
made by us or on our behalf.
Overview
We operate a network of approximately 25,400 ATMs operating in all 50 states and within the
United Kingdom and Mexico. Our extensive ATM network is strengthened by multi-year contractual
relationships with a wide variety of nationally and internationally known merchants pursuant to
which we operate ATMs in their locations. We deploy ATMs under two distinct arrangements with our
merchant partners: company-owned and merchant-owned.
Company-owned. Under a company-owned arrangement, we own or lease the ATM and are responsible
for controlling substantially all aspects of its operation. These responsibilities include what we
refer to as first line maintenance, such as replacing paper, clearing paper or bill jams, resetting
the ATM, any telecommunications and power issues, or other maintenance activities that do not
require a trained service technician. We are also responsible for what we refer to as second line
maintenance, which includes more complex maintenance procedures that require trained service
technicians and often involve replacing component parts. In addition to first and second line
maintenance, we are responsible for arranging for cash, cash loading, supplies, telecommunications
service, and all other services required for the operation of the ATM, other than electricity. We
typically pay a fee, either periodically, on a per-transaction basis or a combination of both, to
the merchant on whose premises the ATM is physically located. We operate a limited number of our
company-owned ATMs on a merchant-assisted basis. In these arrangements, we own the ATM and provide
all transaction processing services, but the merchant generally is responsible for providing and
loading cash for the ATM and performing first line maintenance.
Typically, we deploy ATMs under company-owned arrangements for our national and regional
merchant customers. Such customers include BP Amoco, Chevron, Costco, CVS Pharmacy, Duane Reade,
ExxonMobil, Hess Corporation, Sunoco, Target, Walgreens, and Winn-Dixie in the United States;
Alfred Jones, McDonalds, Odeon Cinemas, Spar, The Noble Organisation, Tates, TM Retail, and Vue
Cinemas in the United Kingdom; and Fragua and OXXO in Mexico. Because company-owned locations are
controlled by us, are usually located in major national chains, and are thus more likely candidates
for additional sources of revenue such as bank branding, they generally offer higher transaction
volumes and greater profitability, which we consider necessary to justify the upfront capital cost
of installing such machines. As of March 31, 2007, we operated approximately 13,250 ATMs under
company-owned arrangements.
Merchant-owned. Under a merchant-owned arrangement, the merchant owns the ATM and is
responsible for its maintenance and the majority of the operating costs; however, we generally
continue to provide all transaction processing services and, in some cases, retain responsibility
for providing and loading cash. We typically enter into merchant-owned arrangements with our
smaller, independent merchant customers. In situations where a merchant purchases an ATM from us,
the merchant normally retains responsibility for providing cash for the ATM and all maintenance as
well as the responsibility for cash loading, supplies, telecommunication, and electrical services.
Under these arrangements, we provide all transaction processing services. Because the merchant
bears more of the costs associated with operating ATMs under this arrangement, the merchant
typically receives a higher fee on a per-transaction basis than is the case under a company-owned
arrangement. In merchant-owned arrangements under which we have assumed responsibility for
providing and loading cash and (or) second line maintenance, the merchant receives a smaller fee on
a
16
per-transaction basis than in the typical merchant-owned arrangement. As of March 31, 2007, we
operated approximately 12,150 ATMs under merchant-owned arrangements.
In the future, we expect the percentage of our company-owned and merchant-owned arrangements
to continue to fluctuate in response to the mix of ATMs we add through internal growth and
acquisitions. While we may continue to add merchant-owned ATMs to our network as a result of
acquisitions and internal sales efforts, our focus for internal growth will remain on expanding the
number of company-owned ATMs in our network.
In-house transaction processing. In addition to the above, during the fourth quarter of 2006,
we undertook an initiative that will allow us to ultimately control the processing of transactions
conducted on our network of ATMs. We believe that such move will provide us with the ability to
control the content of the information appearing on the screens of our ATMs, which should in turn
serve to increase the types of products and services that we will be able to offer to financial
institutions. For example, with the ability to control screen flow, we expect to be able to offer
customized branding solutions to financial institutions, including one-to-one marketing and
advertising services at the point of transaction. Additionally, we expect that this move will
provide us with future operational cost savings in terms of lower overall processing costs. As
discussed above, our in-house transaction processing efforts are focused on controlling the flow
and content of information on the ATM screen; however, we will continue to rely on third party
service providers to handle the back-end connections to the EFT networks and various fund
settlement and reconciliation processes for our company-owned accounts. As of May 14, 2007, we had
converted in excess of 3,100 ATMs over to our in-house transaction processing switch.
Recent Events
Merchant-owned account attrition. In general, we have experienced nominal turnover among our
customers with whom we enter into company-owned arrangements and have been very successful in
negotiating contract renewals with such customers. Conversely, we have experienced a higher
turnover rate among our smaller merchant-owned customers, with our domestic merchant-owned account
base declining by approximately 14.1% during 2006 and an additional 2.1% during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. Part of this attrition is due to an internal initiative launched by us in
2006 to aggressively identify, restructure or eliminate certain underperforming merchant-owned
accounts, as evidenced by the fact that the year-over-year gross profits associated with our
domestic merchant-owned business declined by only 4.8%. However, an additional key driver of this
attrition is local and regional independent ATM service organizations that are targeting our
smaller merchant-owned accounts upon the termination of the merchants contracts with us, or upon a
change in the merchants ownership, which can be a common occurrence. Accordingly, we have
recently launched another internal initiative to identify and retain those merchant-owned accounts
where we believe it makes economic sense to do so. At this point, we cannot accurately predict
what the results will be of these retention efforts or whether such efforts will be successful in
reducing the aforementioned attrition rate. Furthermore, because of our efforts to eliminate
certain underperforming accounts, we may continue to experience the aforementioned downward trend
in our merchant-owned account base for the foreseeable future. Finally, because the EFT networks
have required that all ATMs be Triple-DES compliant by the end of 2007, it is likely that we will
lose some additional merchant-owned accounts during the remainder of this year as some merchants
with low transacting ATMs may decide to dispose of their ATMs rather than incur the costs to
upgrade or replace their existing machines.
Asset impairments. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded an impairment
charge related to a previously acquired merchant contract. Such charge, which included a $0.1
million impairment of the remaining unamortized intangible asset balance and a $0.2 million
impairment of the related fixed assets, was a result of the anticipated non-renewal of such
contract. In addition, we are continuing to monitor the ATM operating agreement with a significant
merchant customer where the future anticipated cash flows associated with that merchant contract
may be insufficient to support the related unamortized intangible and tangible asset values. We
are currently in discussions with the merchant customer regarding additional services that could be
provided to them under the existing ATM operating agreement, which would, in turn, increase the
estimated future cash flows associated with that relationship/contract. In the event such
discussions are unsuccessful, we may be required to record future impairment charges related to the
intangible and tangible assets associated with such contract. Such charges, if they were to occur,
could be significant and would negatively impact our future operating results.

included. |
General
As a result of our international operations, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, specifically with respect to changes in the U.S. Dollar relative to the
British Pound and Mexican Peso. During the period ended March 31, 2007, the average exchange rate
between the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound was 1.95:1.00 compared to 1.75:1.00 during the same
period in 2006. Such increase positively contributed to our consolidated results of operations for
the three month period ended March 31, 2007. Given the limited size and scope of our Mexico
operations, the year-over-year change in the average exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the
Mexican Peso had an immaterial impact on the comparative operating results for those operations.

ATM operating revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the increase in ATM
operating revenues was primarily attributable to our United Kingdom operations. Specifically, as a
result of additional ATM deployments and a 30.9% increase in the average number of withdrawal
transactions per ATM, surcharge and interchange revenues from our United Kingdom operations
increased over $4.8 million, or 59.1%, from the prior year levels. Our Mexico operations also
contributed to the increase, as surcharge and interchange revenues were approximately $0.5 million
higher in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Such increase was the result of the additional
ATM deployments in 2006 and 2007 and, to a lesser extent, the fact that the 2006 results reflect
less than two months worth of results from the acquired Mexico operations. Partially offsetting
the increase in revenues from our international operations was a decrease in our domestic ATM
operating revenues. Such decrease was primarily attributable to declines in surcharge,
interchange, and other transaction-based revenues resulting from a decrease in the number of
merchant-owned ATMs under contract in 2007 when compared to 2006, offset somewhat by higher bank
and network branding revenues in 2007.
ATM product sales and other revenues. ATM product sales and other revenues for the three
month period ended March 31, 2007, increased approximately 4.8% when compared to the same period in
2006. Such increase was primarily due to higher year-over-year value-added reseller (VAR)
program sales, which were partially offset by lower equipment sales to independent merchants.

Cost of ATM operating revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the increase
in cost of ATM operating revenues was primarily driven by our United Kingdom operations, which
experienced a $3.5 million, or 63.3%, increase in such costs from prior year levels. This increase
was due to higher merchant payments and increased vault cash, processing, armored carrier, and
communication costs, which resulted from the aforementioned increase in the number of ATM merchant
locations deployed in the United Kingdom. Our United States and Mexico operations also contributed
to the higher cost of ATM operating revenues, as such costs increased by $0.3 million and $0.4
million, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. In the United States, the
increase was primarily due to higher ATM vault cash costs that resulted from increased interest
rates, incremental costs associated with our efforts to convert our ATMs over to our in-house
transaction processing switch, and higher maintenance and armored carrier fees. Such increases
were partially offset by lower merchant fees resulting from the aforementioned year-over-year
decline in domestic surcharge revenues. In Mexico, the increase was primarily due to higher
processing and maintenance costs, which resulted from the deployment of additional ATMs in 2006 and
2007 and, to a lesser extent, the fact that the 2006 results reflect less than two months worth of
results from the acquired Mexico operations.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur additional incremental costs in 2007 related to
our efforts to convert our domestic ATMs to our in-house transaction processing switch. During the
three month period ended March 31, 2007, we incurred approximately $0.5 million in costs related to
these conversion efforts, which negatively impacted our domestic ATM operating revenues gross
margin for the period (as previously noted). We anticipate that our gross margin will continue to
be negatively impacted by such costs throughout the remainder of 2007.
Cost of ATM product sales and other revenues. The cost of ATM product sales and other revenues
for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased by approximately 9.3% when compared to
the same periods in 2006. Such increase was primarily due to higher year-over-year costs
associated with equipment sold under our VAR program with NCR, which were partially offset by lower
costs associated with ATM sales that resulted from the aforementioned decline in equipment sales to
independent merchants.
19
Our ATM product sales and other revenues gross margin was lower for the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, when compared to the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of
higher sales returns and allowances in 2007 related to our merchant-owned Triple-DES upgrade
efforts.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. For the three month period ended March 31,
2007, our selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation,
increased by 32.3% when compared to the same period in 2006. Such increase was primarily
attributable to our domestic operations, which experienced an increase of $1.1 million, or 29.1%,
in costs during 2007, primarily due to higher employee-related costs and other costs incurred to
support our growth initiatives. Additionally, accounting, legal, and professional fees related to
our domestic operations were higher during the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as a result
of the registration of our senior subordinated notes with the SEC in August 2006. As a result of
this registration, we are now required to comply with SEC reporting requirements, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Finally, our United Kingdom and Mexico operations had slightly higher
selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily
due to additional employee-related costs.
We expect that our selling, general, and administrative expense will continue to increase in
the future due to the anticipated hiring of additional personnel and the incurrence of additional
costs to support our future growth initiatives.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation for the three month period ended March 31,
2007, increased by 68.9% when compared to the same period in 2006. Such increase was primarily due
to the additional employee stock options granted in 2006 and March 2007. See Note 3 in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the
Companys stock-based compensation.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, depreciation and accretion expense increased
by 51.7% when compared to the same period in 2006. The year-over-year increase was primarily
driven by a $1.7 million, or 51.9%, increase in depreciation and accretion expense associated with
our domestic operations, which was primarily attributable to $1.6 million in accelerated
depreciation expense recorded during the first quarter of 2007 related to certain ATMs that will be
deinstalled early as a result of contract terminations and our Triple-DES security compliance
efforts. Additionally, depreciation and accretion expense related to our United Kingdom operations
increased $0.4 million, or 49.0%, due to the deployment of additional ATMs under company-owned
arrangements throughout 2006 and the first quarter of 2007.
In the future, we expect that our depreciation and accretion expense will grow in proportion
to the increase in the number of ATMs we own and deploy throughout our company-owned portfolio.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, amortization expense, which is primarily
comprised of amortization of intangible merchant contracts and relationships associated with our
past acquisitions, decreased by 50.4% when compared to the same period in 2006. The higher
amortization expense reflected during the period ended March 31, 2006, was the result of a $2.8
million impairment charge recorded during the first quarter of 2006 related to the BAS
Communications, Inc. ATM portfolio. This impairment was attributable to the anticipated reduction
in future cash flows resulting from a higher than planned attrition rate associated with this
acquired portfolio. During the period ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a $0.1 million impairment
related to a smaller acquired portfolio based on the expected non-renewal of a particular contract
within such portfolio. Excluding the impairments taken in 2007 and 2006, amortization expense for
the period ended March 31, 2007, was slightly higher than the same period in 2006 as a result of
increased amortization expense associated with our United Kingdom operations related to additional
contract-based intangible assets, which are being amortized over the lives of the underlying
contracts.

Interest expense, net. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, interest expense,
excluding the amortization and write-off of financing costs and bond discount, increased by 4.0%,
when compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was due to higher average outstanding
balances under our revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006. Also contributing to the year-over-year increase in interest expense was the
overall increase in the level of floating interest rates paid under our revolving credit facility.
In May 2007, we amended our revolving credit facility to, among other things, provide for a
reduced spread on the interest rate charged on amounts outstanding under the facility and to
increase the amount of capital expenditures that we can incur on an annual basis. Although the
interest spread modification will serve to reduce slightly the amount of interest charged on
amounts outstanding under the facility, we expect that our overall interest expense amounts will
increase throughout the remainder of the year as we increase the outstanding borrowings under the
facility to help fund our anticipated capital expenditure needs in 2007. For additional
information on our capital expenditures program, see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section
below.
Amortization and write-off of financing costs and bond discount. For the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, expenses related to the amortization and write-off of financing costs and
bond discount decreased 59.4% when compared to the same period in 2006. The higher expenses
reflected during the three month period ended March 31, 2006, were due to the write-off of
approximately $0.5 million of deferred financing costs as a result of an amendment made to our bank
credit facility in February 2006. No deferred financing costs were written off in the first
quarter of 2007.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the $0.2 million of other income was
primarily attributable to the sale of the equity securities awarded to the Company in 2006 pursuant
to the bankruptcy plan of reorganization for Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., one of the Companys merchant
customers. The sales of these securities resulted in total gains of $0.6 million, which were
partially offset by $0.5 million in losses on the disposal of fixed assets during the period. The
$0.2 million in other expense for the period ended March 31, 2006, was primarily attributable to
losses on the disposal of fixed assets.

As indicated in the table above, our income tax benefit decreased by 40.5% for the three month
period ended March 31, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006. On an absolute basis, this
change was driven by corresponding changes in our pre-tax loss levels for the period. The lower
effective tax rate experienced during the most recent quarterly period is due to the relative mix
of pre-tax income and loss amounts in our foreign and domestic jurisdictions and the fact that we
are not currently recognizing any tax benefits related to our Mexico operations. Furthermore, the
fact that we are currently in a taxable income position with respect to our domestic state income
taxes while at the same time being in a taxable loss position with respect to our domestic federal
income taxes also contributed to our lower overall effective tax rate. We expect that our
effective tax rate may continue to vary in future periods depending on the mix of pre-tax income
and loss amounts generated in our foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand
and approximately $263.1 million in outstanding long-term debt and notes payable.
We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations,
borrowings under our credit facilities, private placements of equity securities, and the sale of
bonds. We have historically used cash to invest in additional operating ATMs, either through the
acquisition of ATM networks or through organically generated growth. We have also used cash to
fund increases in working capital and to pay interest and principal amounts outstanding under our
borrowings. Because we typically collect our cash on a daily basis and are not required to pay our
merchants and vendors until 20 and 30 days, respectively, after the end of each calendar month, we
are able to utilize the excess upfront cash flow to pay down borrowings made under our revolving
credit facility and to fund our ongoing capital expenditure program. Accordingly, we will
typically reflect a working capital deficit position and carry a very small cash balance on our
books.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.1 million for the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.8 million during the same
period in 2006. Such increase was primarily attributable to the timing of changes in our working
capital balances. Specifically, we collected an additional $1.7 million of cash in the first
quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 related to outstanding accounts and notes
receivable. Additionally, we settled approximately $0.6 million less on our outstanding payables
and other liabilities during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
22
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $9.3 million for the three month period ended
March 31, 2007, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2006. The year-over-year increase
was driven by the additional $9.8 million in capital expenditures, exclusive license payments, and
site acquisition costs for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period
in 2006. These additional expenditures in 2007 were partially offset by $4.0 million in proceeds
received on the sale of our Winn-Dixie equity securities.
We currently anticipate that the majority of our capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future will be driven by organic growth projects as opposed to acquisitions, including the
purchasing of ATMs for existing as well as new ATM management agreements. However, we will continue
to pursue selected acquisition opportunities that complement our existing ATM network, some of
which could be material. We currently expect that our capital expenditures for the remainder of
2007 will total approximately $40.0 million, the majority of which will be utilized to purchase
additional ATMs for our company-owned accounts and to upgrade our existing ATMs to comply with
current security encryption and audio guidelines. We expect such expenditures to be funded with
cash generated from our operations, supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
To that end, and as previously noted, we amended our revolving credit facility in May 2007 to,
among other things, increase the amount of capital expenditures that we can incur on a rolling
12-month basis from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. This modification should provide us with the
ability to incur the level of capital expenditures that we currently deem necessary to support our
ongoing operations and future growth initiatives.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $6.2 million for the three month period
ended March 31, 2007, compared to $7.2 million during the same period in 2006. The lower amount in
2007 was the result of the repayment of amounts utilized under our United Kingdom operations bank
overdraft facility, which was partially offset by higher borrowings under our credit facility to
finance the aforementioned capital expenditures.
Financing Facilities
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $263.1 million in outstanding long-term debt and
notes payable, which was comprised of (i) approximately $198.8 million (net of discount of $1.2
million) of senior subordinated notes due August 2013, (ii) approximately $61.6 million in
borrowings under our existing revolving and swing line credit facilities, and (iii) approximately
$2.6 million in notes payable. Interest payments associated with the senior subordinated notes
total $18.5 million on an annual basis and are due in semi-annual installments of $9.25 million in
February and August of each year. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are not
due until the facilitys maturity date in May 2010. Interest payments associated with such
borrowings range from being due monthly to being due on a quarterly basis, depending on the types
of borrowings made under the facility.
Included in the outstanding notes payable balance above is approximately $27.4 million pesos
($2.5 million U.S.) outstanding under Cardtronics Mexicos two, five-year equipment financing
agreements. Borrowings under such agreements, which were entered into in November 2006 and
February 2007, bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.03% and 11.02%, respectively, and are to be
utilized for the purchase of additional ATMs to support the Companys Mexico operations. Pursuant
to the terms of the loan agreement, Cardtronics, Inc. has issued a guaranty for 51.0% (its
ownership percentage in Cardtronics Mexico) of the obligations under the loan agreement. As of
March 31, 2007, the total amount of the guaranty was $14.0 million pesos ($1.3 million U.S.). In
April 2007, a third five-year financing agreement was entered into, under which Cardtronics Mexico
borrowed an additional $17.3 million pesos (approximately $1.6 million U.S.) in May 2007, which also bears
interest at 11.02%.
In addition to the above domestic revolving credit facility, Bank Machine has a £2.0 million
unsecured overdraft facility that expires in July 2007. Such facility, which bears interest at
1.75% over the banks base rate (currently 5.50%), is utilized for general corporate purposes for
the Companys United Kingdom operations. As of March 31, 2007, a portion of this overdraft
facility had been utilized to post a £275,000 bond.
We believe that our cash on hand and availability under our current credit facilities will be
sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and contractual commitments for at least the
next 12 months. We expect to fund our working capital needs from revenues generated from our
operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to the extent needed. However,
although we believe that we have sufficient flexibility under our current revolving credit facility
to pursue and finance our expansion plans, such facility does contain certain covenants, including
a covenant that limits the ratio of outstanding senior debt to EBITDA (as defined in the facility),
that could preclude us from drawing down the full amount currently available for borrowing under
such facility. Accordingly, if we expand faster than planned, need to respond to competitive
pressures, or acquire additional ATM networks, we may be required to seek additional sources of
financing. Such sources may come through the sale of equity or debt securities. We can provide no
assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us or at all. If
future
23
financing sources are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be
able to fund our future needs. This may prevent us from increasing our market share, capitalizing
on new business opportunities, or remaining competitive in our industry.
New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. During the first quarter of 2007, we adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This
interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
We applied the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions upon its initial adoption effective
January 1, 2007, and determined that no cumulative effect adjustment was required as of such date.
See Note 14 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional
information regarding the Companys adoption of FIN 48.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities in the financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are
currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial statements.
Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159), which provides allows companies the
option to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The provisions of
SFAS No. 159 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this statement will have on our financial
statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest expense and our cash rental expense are sensitive to changes in the general level
of interest rates in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, particularly because a
substantial portion of our indebtedness accrues interest at floating rates and our ATM cash rental
expense is based on market rates of interest. Our outstanding vault cash, which represents the
cash we rent and place in our ATMs in cases where the merchant does not provide the cash, totaled
approximately $397.7 million in the United States, $98.8 million in the United Kingdom, and
approximately $2.3 million in Mexico as of March 31, 2007. We pay a monthly fee on the average
amount outstanding to our primary vault cash providers in the United States and the United Kingdom
under a formula based on LIBOR. Additionally, in Mexico, we pay a monthly fee to our vault cash
provider there under a formula based on TIIE.
We have entered into a number of interest rate swaps to fix the rate of interest we pay on
$300.0 million of our current and anticipated outstanding domestic vault cash balances through
December 31, 2008, $200.0 million through December 31, 2009, and $100.0 million through December
31, 2010. We have not currently entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge our
variable interest rate exposure in the United Kingdom or Mexico. The effect of the domestic swaps
mentioned above was to fix the interest rate paid on the following notional amounts for the periods

Net amounts paid or received under such swaps are recorded as adjustments to our Cost of ATM
operating revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the gains or losses
incurred as a result of ineffectiveness associated with our existing
interest rate swaps were immaterial.
Our existing interest rate swaps have been classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. Accordingly,
changes in the fair values of such swaps have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2007, the
accumulated unrealized gain on such swaps totaled approximately $5.2 million, which is included in
accumulated other comprehensive income net of income taxes of $1.9 million.
Based on the $397.7 million in vault cash outstanding in the United States as of March 31,
2007, and assuming no benefits from the existing interest rate hedges that are currently in place,
for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an additional $4.0 million of
vault cash rental expense on an annualized basis. Factoring in the $300.0 million in interest rate
swaps discussed above, for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an
additional $1.0 million of vault cash rental expense on an annualized basis. Based on the $98.8
million in vault cash outstanding in the United Kingdom as of March 31, 2007, for every interest
rate increase of 100 basis points, we would incur an additional $1.0 million of vault cash rental
expense on an annualized basis. In Mexico, we would incur roughly $23,000 in additional vault cash
rental expense for every interest rate increase of 100 basis points.
In addition to the above, we are exposed to variable interest rate risk on borrowings under
our domestic revolving credit facility. Based on the $61.6 million in floating rate debt
outstanding under such facility as of March 31, 2007, for every interest rate increase of 100 basis
points, we would incur an additional $0.6 million of interest expense on an annualized basis.
Recent upward pressure on short-term interest rates in the United States has resulted in slight
increases in our interest expense under our bank credit facilities and our vault cash rental
expense. Although we currently hedge a substantial portion of our vault cash interest rate risk
through 2010, as noted above, we may not be able to enter into similar arrangements for similar
amounts in the future. Any significant increase in interest rates in the future could have an
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our
operating costs and expenses.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Due to our acquisition of Bank Machine in 2005 and our acquisition of a majority interest in
Cardtronics Mexico in 2006, we are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, specifically with changes in the U.S. Dollar relative to the British Pound and Mexican Peso.
Our United Kingdom and Mexico subsidiaries are consolidated into our financial results and are
25
subject to risks typical of international businesses including, but not limited to, differing
economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and
restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Furthermore, we are required to translate the
financial condition and results of operations of Bank Machine and Cardtronics Mexico into U.S.
Dollars, with any corresponding translation gains or losses being recorded in other comprehensive
income or loss in our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2007, such translation
gains totaled approximately $6.6 million.
Our future results could be materially impacted by changes in the value of the British Pound
relative to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, as our Mexico operations expand, our future results
could be materially impacted by changes in the value of the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S.
Dollar. At this time, we have not deemed it to be cost effective to engage in a program of hedging
the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results using derivative financial
instruments. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, if the U.S. dollar uniformly strengthened or
weakened 10% against the British Pound, the effect upon Bank Machines operating income for the
three month period ended March 31, 2007, would have been an unfavorable or favorable adjustment,
respectively, of approximately $0.1 million. Given the limited size and scope of Cardtronics
Mexicos current operations, a similar sensitivity analysis would have resulted in a negligible
adjustment to Cardtronics Mexicos financial results for the three month period ended March 31,
2007.
We do not hold derivative commodity instruments and all of our cash and cash equivalents are
held in money market and checking funds.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2007, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of our disclosure
committee in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is accurate, complete and timely. Based on the results of
this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of March 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there has been no change in our internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
National Federation of the Blind (NFB). In connection with its acquisition of the E*TRADE
Access, Inc. (ETA) ATM portfolio, the Company assumed ETAs interests and liability for a lawsuit
instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the Court) by
the NFB, the NFBs Massachusetts chapter, and several individual blind persons (collectively, the
Private Plaintiffs) as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to claims relating
to the alleged inaccessibility of ATMs for those persons who are visually-impaired. After the
acquisition of the ETA ATM portfolio, the Private Plaintiffs named Cardtronics as a co-defendant
with ETA and ETAs parent E*TRADE Bank, and the scope of the lawsuit has expanded to include both
ETAs ATMs as well as the Companys pre-existing ATM portfolio.
In this lawsuit, the Private Plaintiffs have sought to require ETA and Cardtronics to make all
of the ATMs voice-enabled, or capable of providing audible instructions to a visually-impaired
person upon that person inserting a headset plug into an outlet at the ATM. The Court has ruled
twice (in February 2005 and February 2006) that the Private Plaintiffs are not entitled to a
voice-enabled remedy. Nonetheless, in response to an order to describe the relief they seek, the
Private Plaintiffs have subsequently stated that they demand either (i) voice-guidance technology
on each ATM; (ii) Braille instructions on each ATM that allow individuals who are blind to
understand every screen (which, we assume, may imply a dynamic Braille pad); or (iii) a telephone
on each ATM so the user could speak with a remote operator who can either see the screen on the ATM
or can enter information for the user.
Cardtronics has asserted numerous defenses to the lawsuit. One defense is that, for ATMs owned
by third parties, the Company does not have the right to make changes to the ATMs without the
consent of the third parties. Another defense is that the ADA does not require the Company to make
changes to ATMs if the changes are not feasible or achievable, or if the costs outweigh the
benefits. The costs of retrofitting or replacing existing ATMs with voice technology, dynamic
Braille keypads, or telephones and interactive data lines would be significant. Additionally, in
situations in which the ATMs are owned by third parties and Cardtronics provides processing
services, the costs are extremely disproportionate to the Companys interests in the ATMs.
Moreover, recent depositions taken of six individuals, which the Private Plaintiffs have requested
the Court to add as additional plaintiffs, demonstrates that the NFB is interested only in
voice-guidance, which (as noted above) the Court has twice ruled that this remedy is not available.
Based upon this revelation, Cardtronics has renewed its motion of summary judgment because of the
Private Plaintiffs failure to identify a non-voice remedy that will make Cardtronics owned or
operated ATMs accessible.
Cardtronics has also challenged the Private Plaintiffs standing to file this lawsuit. In
response to the Companys challenge, the Private Plaintiffs have requested the Courts permission
to (i) amend their complaint to name additional individual plaintiffs and (ii) certify the lawsuit
as a class action under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Cardtronics has objected to the
Private Plaintiffs motion, on the grounds that the plaintiffs who initially filed the lawsuit
lacked standing and this deficiency cannot be cured by amending the complaint. Hearings on both the
standing issue and Cardtronics motion for summary judgment are expected to occur during the second
quarter of 2007.
Other matters. In June 2006, Duane Reade, Inc. (Customer), one of the Companys merchant
customers, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (the Federal Action). The complaint, which was formally served to the Company in September
2006, alleged that Cardtronics had breached an ATM operating agreement between the parties by
failing to pay the Customer the proper amount of fees under the agreement. The Customer is
claiming that it is owed no less than $600,000 in lost revenues, exclusive of interests and costs,
and projects that additional damages will accrue to them at a rate of approximately $100,000 per
month, exclusive of interest and costs. On October 6, 2006, the Company filed a petition in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, seeking a declaratory judgment that it had not breached the
ATM operating agreement. On October 10, 2006, the Customer filed a second complaint, this time in
New York State Supreme Court, alleging the same claims it had alleged in the Federal Action.
Subsequently, the Customer dismissed the Federal Action because the federal court did not have
subject matter jurisdiction. Additionally, Cardtronics has voluntarily dismissed the Texas
lawsuit, electing to litigate the above-discussed claims in the New York State Supreme Court. The
Company believes that it will ultimately prevail upon the merits in this matter, although it gives
no assurance as to the final outcome. Furthermore, the Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of this dispute will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial
condition or results of operations.
The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary
course of its business. The Companys management does not expect the outcome in any of these legal
proceedings, individually or collectively, to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations.
