On June 29, 2006, the Company entered into a $37 million convertible debt financing with a group of institutional investors. Under the terms of agreement, the Company issued convertible notes that accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning on October 2, 2006. A member of the lending group which loaned our Company $1,000,000 is Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. On April 10, 2007, Iroquois Master Fund provided the Company a written default notice stating that the Company had failed to pay interest on their note and provided the Company with their wire details. Immediately upon receipt of the wire details, the Company made full payment of the interest due. The Company’s position is that there was miscommunication of payment details and a good faith attempt on the Company’s part to communicate this to Iroquois Master Fund. The Company’s position is after payment of interest, management believed in good faith that the matter was addressed to the satisfaction of both parties On April 20, 2007, the Company received a second default notice seeking penalties and stating their rights under default. The Company promptly paid the $3,406 penalty to the account provided. The lenders’ rights under default are the payment of 125% of the principal amount due plus interest and penalties. Iroquois Master Fund has filed suit against the Company on June 19, 2007 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York for breach of contract. The Company firmly believes that it has acted in good faith and plaintiff’s claim is without merit. The Company has retained counsel and will vigorously defend this action. The case citation is Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd. v. Pipeline Data, Inc., Index No. 602059/2007, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. While the case is still pending, the Company and Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd. have postponed further filings. |

On July 11, 2006, we acquired Valadata, Inc., a retail merchant credit card processing provider catering primarily to the restaurant industry. We also acquired a separate retail portfolio. The purchase price for Valadata was $5.4 million in cash and an additional $1.5 million over the next two years, subject to performance milestones. The purchase price for the separate retail portfolio was $500,000. The Company determined that the performance milestones were not met as of July 11, 2007 and that no further obligation exists to the former shareholders of Valadata, Inc. However, we did calculate the residuals of the underlying seller agents of Valadata and made milestone payments to all agents who reached their performance milestones. The former shareholders of Valadata, Inc. disagree with our determination. In October 2007, L60, Inc. (comprised of former Valadata shareholders) filed suit against Pipeline Data, Inc. in Maricopa County Superior Court. In its complaint, L60 alleges that Pipeline and Valadata breached certain agreements made in connection with Pipeline’s acquisition of Valadata, and seeks around $1.5M, plus attorneys’ fees and costs. Pipeline vigorously disputes the claims, has filed an answer denying any liability and has countersued plaintiff and various related parties for, among other things, breach of contract and tortious interference with contractual relationships. Pipeline’s counterclaims seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees. In February of 2008, the Court dismissed Pipeline’s tort claims without prejudice to the extent they are grounded in their contracts with L60, but their contract claims against L60 and its principals remain, as well as a claim for tortious interference against a third party. The case has proceeded to discovery and deposition. |
