In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements are included herein. Other than those discussed in the notes below, such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Corporation's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009, was derived from audited financial statements. The Corporation's consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not contain certain information included in the Corporation's consolidated audited annual financial statements and notes. Unless otherwise noted, the accounting policies of the Corporation are unchanged from the Corporation’s annual audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The consolidated financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009 (file no. 000-13959).

Recent accounting pronouncements

Business Combinations

In December 2008, the CICA issued Section 1582 – “Business Combinations”, which will replace Section 1581 – “Business Combinations”.  This section establishes revised standards for the accounting for a business combination which are aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on business combinations.  The Section applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  The Corporation has not yet determined what the impact of adopting this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

International Financial Reporting Standards

The Accounting Standards Board of the CICA announced that Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) for publicly accountable enterprises will be replaced with IFRS, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board, for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  Early conversion to IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2009 may also be permitted.

2.
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Implementing IFRS will have an impact on accounting, financial reporting and supporting IT systems and processes.  It may also have an impact on taxes, contractual commitments involving clauses based on generally accepted accounting principles, long-term employee compensation plans and performance metrics.  Accordingly, when the Corporation develops its IFRS implementation plan, it will have to include measures to provide extensive training to key finance personnel, to review contracts and agreements and to increase the level of awareness and knowledge among management, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.  Additional resources may be engaged to ensure the timely conversion to IFRS.  The financial impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-Controlling Interests

In January 2009, the CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and Section 1602, “Non-controlling interest”. Together these sections replace the former Section 1600, “Consolidated Financial Statements”.   Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination and is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.

The new standards result in measuring business acquisitions at the fair value of the acquired business and a prospectively applied shift from a parent corporation conceptual view of consolidation theory (which results in the parent corporation recording book values attributable to non-controlling interests) to an entity conceptual view (which results in the parent corporation recording fair values attributable to non-controlling interests).

These sections apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. An entity adopting these Sections for a fiscal year beginning before January 1, 2011 also adopts Section 1582, “Business Combinations”.

The Corporation does not intend to early apply these sections.  The impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements from the application of these sections will depend upon the nature of any future business acquisitions made by the Corporation after adoption.

On May 29, 2009, the AcSB issued an Exposure Draft that proposes to amend Section 3855, “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement”, to converge with international standards.  The proposed amendment will have the following impact:

·  
The amendment clarifies that if an entity reclassifies a financial asset out of the held-for-trading category, it must assess whether the financial asset contains an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract. This assessment is made on the basis of circumstances that existed on the later date of specified dates provided in the amendment.

·  
If an embedded derivative cannot be measured reliably, the entity is prohibited from reclassifying the asset from held-for-trading.

·  
When a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets (other than the loans and receivables category) has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognized thereafter using the rate of interest used in the measurement of the impairment loss.

·  
An embedded call, put, surrender or prepayment option is closely related to the host debt instrument when its exercise price reimburses the lender for an amount up to the approximate present value of the lost interest. Calculation guidance to determine the lost interest is provided in the amendment.
 
The proposed amendment would be applicable for years ending on or after October 31, 2009 and would be applied prospectively.  The impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements from the application of this amended section will depend upon the nature of the Corporation’s financial instruments at that time.

Foreign currency translation

The Corporation’s functional (except as described below) and reporting currency is the United States dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 1651 “Foreign Currency Translation” (“Section 1651”) (which is consistent with the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding foreign currency translation) using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the historical transaction date.  Average rates for the period are used to translate the Corporation’s revenue and expenses. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

The functional currency of the Corporation’s Beanstream subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.  Beanstream’s financial statements are translated to United States dollars under the current rate method in accordance with Section 1651 and the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding foreign currency translation.  Beanstream’s assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Average rates for the period are used to translate Beanstream’s revenues and expenses.  Gains and losses arising on the translation of Beanstream’s financial statements are reported as a cumulative translation adjustment which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

4.
Economic Dependence

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from the Corporation’s two largest customers amounted to approximately 17.1% of total revenue for one customer (2008 – 18.4%) and 10.1% for the second customer (2008 – 11.5%). Revenue from these customers amounted to approximately $557,431 for one customer (2008 - $569,149) and $329,205 for the second customer (2008 - $354,042).  The Corporation is economically dependent on revenue from these customers.

During the six months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from the Corporation’s two largest customers amounted to approximately 17.9% of total revenue for one customer (2008 – 18.1%) and 10.5% for the second customer (2008 – 11.4%). Revenue from these customers amounted to approximately $1,161,323 for one customer (2008 - $1,131,963) and $681,107 for the second customer (2008 - $716,864).  The Corporation is economically dependent on revenue from these customers.

Financial Instruments
 
 
(a)
The Corporation classifies its cash and cash equivalents, funds held for merchants and restricted cash as held-for-trading. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, funds due to merchants, and promissory notes are classified as other liabilities, all of which are measured at amortized cost (using the effective interest rate method).

Carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities as at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 are summarized as follows:


   
September 30, 2009
   
March 31, 2009
 
   
Carrying Value
   
Fair Value

Financial Instruments (continued)

 
(b)
Restricted cash

Under the terms of the processing agreement with one of the Corporation’s processing banks, the Corporation pledged a deposit of $175,000 (March 31, 2009 - $175,000) against charge back losses.  Non-current restricted cash represents funds held by a third party processor as security for the Corporation’s merchant accounts.

 
(c)
Market Risk

Currency Risk

The Corporation’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The Corporation is exposed to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar.  Significant losses may occur due to significant balances of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held in Canadian dollars that may be affected negatively by an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar. The Corporation has not hedged its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

As at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Corporation is exposed to currency risk through its cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, corporate taxes payable and promissory notes denominated in Canadian dollars:


   
September 30, 2009
   
March 31, 2009
 
             
Cash and restricted cash
  $ 63,890     $ 1,172,539  
Accounts receivable
    6,616       50,476  
Accounts payable
    126,175       132,570  
Accrued liabilities
    264,179       333,360  
Promissory notes
    -       2,100,920  


Based on the above foreign currency exposure as at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $31,985 and $134,384 respectively, in the Corporation’s foreign currency loss/gain.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited as its cash and payment processing accounts are short-term in nature and its promissory notes bear a fixed interest rate.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the future value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Exposure to price risk is low as the Corporation’s cash management policy is to invest excess cash in high grade/low risk investments over short periods of time.

 
d)
Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Any credit risk exposure on cash balances is considered negligible as the Corporation places funds or deposits only with major established banks in the countries in which it has payment processing services. The credit risk arises primarily from the Corporation’s trade receivables from customers.

 
-8-


5.
Financial Instruments (continued)

On a regular basis, the Corporation reviews the collectability of its trade accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimates of any potentially uncollectible accounts. As at September 30, 2009, the balance of the Corporation’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $29,949 (March 31, 2009 - $31,785).  The Corporation has good credit history with its customers and the amounts due from them are received as expected.

Pursuant to their respective terms, accounts receivable are aged as follows at September 30, 2009:

0-30 days
  $ 584,886  
31-60 days
    65,501  
61-90 days
    4,622  
Over 90 days due
    23,691  
    $ 678,700  

 
Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents are invested in major financial institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Corporation’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, relatively minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The accounts receivable of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are derived from sales to customers located primarily in the U.S. and Canada. The Corporation performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Corporation generally does not require collateral.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Corporation has determined to be doubtful of collection. At September 30, 2009, three customers accounted for 25%, 13% and 11% of the Corporation’s accounts receivable balance (March 31, 2009 – 27%, 17% and 12%).

 
e)
Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Corporation continuously monitors actual and forecasted cash flows to ensure, as far as possible, there is sufficient working capital to satisfy its operating requirements.

6.
Cash and cash equivalents and funds held for /due to merchants

Cash and cash equivalents

At September 30, 2009, the Corporation held $4,003,334 (March 31, 2009: $6,138,530) in cash and cash equivalents.  Included in this balance was $1 million in cash and cash equivalents used as continuing collateral security with the Corporation’s primary financial institution which is available for use to the Corporation (March 31, 2009 - $1 million).

Funds held for/due to merchants

At September 30, 2009, the Corporation held funds due to merchants in the amount of $11,387,370 (March 31, 2009 - $10,746,731.) The funds held for/due to merchants were comprised of the following:

·  
funds held in reserves calculated by applying contractually determined percentages of the gross transaction volume for a hold-back period of up to six months;

 
-9-


6.
Cash and cash equivalents and funds held for /due to merchants (continued)

·  
funds from transaction payment processing which may be held for up to approximately fifteen days, the actual number of days depends on the contractual terms with each merchant; and

·  
funds from payroll/pre-authorized debit services provided on behalf of merchants, which may be held for up to approximately two days.
 
7.
Stock-based compensation
 
The Corporation accounts for all stock options issued based on their fair value as required by the CICA Section 3870 which corresponds to the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding share-based payment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Corporation granted 75,000 stock options under the Corporation’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan and 300,000 stock options under the 1996 Stock Option Plan (no stock options were granted during the three month period ended June 30, 2009). The weighted average grant date fair value for these stock options is $0.38 per stock option. The fair value of these stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate of 2.30%;
 
Expected volatility of 77.93%;
 
Expected life of the stock options of 4 years; and
 
No dividend yields.

During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Corporation did not grant any stock options under the Corporation’s 1996 Stock Option plan or its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
 
8.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
All commitments and contingencies remain unchanged from the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
 
 
9.
Industry and geographic segments

Based upon the way financial information is provided to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer for use in evaluating allocation of resources and assessing performance of the business, the Corporation reports its operations in three distinct operating segments, described as follows:

Transaction Payment Processing (“TPP”) operations involve financial payment processing, authentication and risk management services provided by Beanstream.  The services are accessible via the Internet and are offered in an application service provider (ASP) model.

Intellectual Property Licensing (“IPL”) operations involve licensing the Corporation’s intellectual property estate, which includes five U.S. patents describing electronic check processing methods.

Check Processing/Software Licensing (“CP/SL”) operations involve primary and secondary check collection including electronic check re-presentment (RCK) and software licensing.

Within these segments, performance is measured based on revenue, factoring in interest income and expenses and amortization and depreciation as well as earnings from operations before income taxes from each segment. There are no transactions between segments. The Corporation does not generally allocate corporate or centralized marketing and general and administrative expenses to its business unit segments because these activities are managed separately from the business units.  Asset information by operating segment is not reported to or reviewed by the Corporation’s decision makers on an interim basis and therefore, the Corporation has not disclosed asset information for each operating segment.

Financial information for each reportable segment for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

Reconciliation of United States to Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

These consolidated financial statements are prepared using Canadian GAAP, which does not differ materially from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) with respect to the accounting policies and disclosures in these financial statements except as set out below:

 
(a)
Under U.S. GAAP, the Corporation could not effect the reduction in deficit of $22,901,744 by reducing the stated capital of the shares of the Corporation’s common stock.

 
(b)
On April 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding share-based payment which requires the expensing of all options issued, modified or settled based on the grant date fair value over the period during which an employee is required to provide service (vesting period).

The Corporation adopted the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding share-based payment using the modified prospective approach, which requires application of the standard to all awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after April 1, 2006, and to all awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as at such date.  Since April 1, 2003, the Corporation has been following the fair value based approach prescribed by the guidance for stock option awards granted, modified or settled on or after such date.  As such, the application of the guidance on April 1, 2006 to all awards granted prior to its adoption did not have an impact on the financial statements.  In accordance with the modified prospective approach, prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the impact of the guidance. The prospective adoption of this new U.S. GAAP policy creates no differences with the Corporation’s stock compensation expense reported under Canadian GAAP.

 
(c)
Income Taxes

 
In June, 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

 
The Corporation adopted the provisions of the guidance on April 1, 2007. No cumulative effect adjustment to the April 1, 2007 balance of the Corporation’s deficit was required upon the implementation. As of the date of adoption there were no unrecognized tax benefits. Under current conditions and expectations, management does not foresee any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits that would have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
(d)
Changes in U.S. GAAP

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Corporation’s financial reporting under U.S. GAAP are summarized below:

(i)  
On July 1, 2009, the FASB established the new source of authoritative accounting principles, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the Codification). This new source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB is to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will serve to update the Codification. This adoption did not impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

(ii)  
In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Corporation has fully adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

10.
Reconciliation of United States to Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (continued)


(iii)  
In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding business combinations. This guidance is broader in scope than previous guidance which applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. The new guidance applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at April 1, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(iv)  
In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements. The new guidance changes the accounting for, and the financial statement presentation of, non-controlling equity interests in a consolidated subsidiary.  The new guidance establishes non-controlling interests as a component of the equity of a consolidated entity.

The underlying principle of the new guidance is that both the controlling interest and the non-controlling interests are part of the equity of a single economic entity: the consolidated reporting entity. Classifying non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated equity is a change from the former practice of treating minority interests as a mezzanine item between liabilities and equity or as a liability. The new guidance also changes the presentation of net income to include and identify net income attributable to the non-controlling interest.  The change affects both the accounting and financial reporting for non-controlling interests in a consolidated subsidiary.

This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at April 1, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(v)  
In March 2008, the FASB changed its authoritative guidance regarding disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities.  The changes in guidance require enhanced disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including: (a) the manner in which an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) the manner in which derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and (c) the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at April 1, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(vi)  
In April 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding the determination of the useful life of intangible assets.  This guidance removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. The guidance also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at April 1, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(vii)  
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  This guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same, and provides additional guidance on when market level data should not be relied upon or should be adjusted in determining fair value.  This guidance is effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009. The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at June 30, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(viii)  
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.  This guidance functions to require, on an interim basis, disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for public entities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at June 30, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

(ix)  
In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding subsequent events. The new statement provides additional guidance on what events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date will be recognized and/or disclosed.  It also provides guidance on the date through which subsequent events have to be evaluated. This statement shall be effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.  The Corporation has adopted the guidance as at June 30, 2009.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.  The Corporation evaluated its September 30, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through November 13, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.  The Corporation is not aware of any subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

(x)  
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for the Corporation beginning April 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. This guidance will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Corporation believes adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

(xi)  
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. This guidance will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Corporation believes adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report on Form 10-Q to the “Corporation”, “LML”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to LML Payment Systems Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.  LML Payment Systems Inc.'s direct subsidiaries include Beanstream Internet Commerce Inc., LML Corp., Legacy Promotions Inc., 0858669 B.C. Ltd. and LHTW Properties Inc. LML Corp.'s subsidiaries are LML Patent Corp., LML Payment Systems Corp. and Beanstream Internet Commerce Corp. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to dollars or “$” are to U.S. Dollars.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2009 (file no. 000-13959).  We believe that all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) have been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly the following quarterly information.  Quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and can be expected to vary in the future.  Results of operations for any particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year.

Forward Looking Information

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein are forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “potential” or “expect” or similar statements.  The forward-looking statements were prepared on the basis of certain assumptions which relate, among other things, to the demand for and cost of marketing our services, the volume and total value of transactions processed by merchants utilizing our services, the technological adaptation of electronic check conversion end-users, the renewal of material contracts in our business, our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes, particularly with respect to financial payments and e-commerce, in a highly competitive industry characterized by rapid technological change and rapid rates of product obsolescence, our ability to develop and market new product enhancements and new products and services that respond to technological change or evolving industry standards, no unanticipated developments relating to previously disclosed lawsuits against us, and the cost of protecting our intellectual property.  Even if the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based prove accurate and appropriate, the actual results of our operations in the future may vary widely due to technological change, increased competition, new government regulation or intervention in the industry, general economic conditions, other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, the actual results of our operations in the future may vary widely from the forward-looking statements included herein.  All forward-looking statements included herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph.

Overview

LML Payment Systems Inc. is a financial payment processor operating three separate lines of business:  transaction payment processing, intellectual property licensing and check processing/software licensing. Our transaction payment processing services consist predominantly of Internet-based services; while our check processing services involve predominantly traditional and electronic check processing and recovery services that do not utilize the Internet.  We believe that electronic transaction processing services, including Internet-based payment services, will continue to be used in greater frequency than traditional payment methods, such as checks and cash, and we are therefore focusing on these services. Accordingly, we expect that our transaction payment processing services will be our principal line of business for the foreseeable future, while our other lines of business (including the electronic check processing services that we have historically relied on for a significant source of revenue) will become less important to our overall service offerings and less significant to the  financial performance of our corporation.

TPP Segment

Our Transaction Payment Processing Operations (“TPP”) involve financial payment processing, authentication and risk management services. We provide a service that acts as a bank neutral interface between businesses and consumers processing financial or authentication transactions. Our transaction payment processing services are accessible via the Internet and are offered in an application service provider (ASP) model. We focus on product development, project management and third tier technical support of our products and services and rely primarily on strategic business partners to sell and market our products and services. In some instances, our transaction payment processing services and payment products are integrated into third party products in target vertical markets. Our revenues are derived from one-time set-up fees, monthly gateway fees, and transaction fees paid to us by merchants. Transaction fees are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. Gateway fees are monthly subscription fees charged to our merchant customers for the use of our payment gateway. Gateway fees are recognized in the period in which the service is provided. Set-up fees represent one-time charges for initiating our processing services. Although these fees are generally paid at the commencement of the agreement, they are recognized ratably over the estimated average life of the merchant relationship, which is determined through a series of analyses of active and deactivated merchants. We currently service a merchant base of over 8,000 customers primarily in Canada.

 
-15-



IPL Segment

Our Intellectual Property Licensing Operations ("IPL") involve licensing our intellectual property estate, which includes five U.S. patents describing electronic check processing methods.  When we provide clients licenses to our intellectual property estate, we typically earn revenue or other income from ongoing royalty fees and, in some cases, release fees for potential past infringement. In some instances we also earn revenue from license agreements that provide for the payment of contractually determined paid-up license fees to us in consideration for the grant of a non-exclusive, retroactive and future license to our intellectual property estate and in other instances, where license agreements include multiple element arrangements, we may defer this revenue and recognize the revenue ratably over the license term.

CP/SL Segment

Our Check Processing/Software Licensing Operations  ("CP/SL") involve primary and secondary check collection including electronic check re-presentment (RCK) and software licensing.  Our check processing services involve check return management such as traditional and electronic recovery services to retail clients.  When we provide return check management services, we typically receive revenue when we are successful at recovering the principal amount of the original transaction on behalf of the client.  In some instances we also earn a percentage of the principal amount and in other instances our secondary recovery services provide for us to earn additional fees when legal action is required.  Our check processing services are provided in the United States and are operated from our Wichita, Kansas location.

We also provide mainframe payment processing software modules and rights to use our intellectual property to retailers and other payment processors.  When we provide mainframe based payment software modules we typically earn revenue by way of a fixed software license fee.  In some instances we also earn revenue by way of royalties that are typically based upon a fixed sale price or on a usage or transaction basis.

Within these segments, performance is measured based on revenue, factoring in interest income and expenses and amortization and depreciation as well as earnings from operations before income taxes from each segment. There are no transactions between segments. We do not generally allocate corporate or centralized marketing and general and administrative expenses to our business unit segments because these activities are managed separately from the business units. Asset information by operating segment is not reported to or reviewed by our senior management decision makers on an interim basis, and therefore we have not disclosed asset information for each operating segment.


Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to three months ended September 30, 2008

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $3,252,000, an increase of approximately $165,000 or approximately 5.3% from total revenue of approximately $3,087,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in TPP revenues for the period of approximately $247,000, offset by a decrease in CP/SL revenues of approximately $100,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009 revenue from and associated with our two largest customers amounted to approximately 27.3% of total revenue as compared to approximately 34.2% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in the percentage of revenue from and associated with our two largest customers to total revenue is primarily attributable to our total revenue increasing approximately 5.3% from total revenue of the prior fiscal three month period resulting from an increase in our new customers.  We are economically dependent on these customers and the temporary or permanent loss of these customers might have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

TPP Segment

Revenue pertaining to our TPP segment consists of one-time set-up fees, monthly gateway fees, and transaction fees.  TPP segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $2,217,000, an increase of approximately $247,000 or approximately 12.5% from TPP segment revenue of approximately $1,970,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

TPP segment revenue originating in Canadian dollars was approximately $2,433,000CAD for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,053,000CAD for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $380,000CAD or approximately 18.5%. Due to a weakening Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, which decreased approximately 5.1% from the prior fiscal second quarter, the increase in revenue originating from Canada was offset by a weakening Canadian dollar, when presented in U.S. dollars, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Transaction fees for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were approximately $1,816,000 compared to approximately $1,568,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $248,000 or approximately 15.8%.  The increase in transaction fees was primarily attributable to a 107.6% increase in new customer contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The amortized portion of one-time set-up fees recognized was approximately $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to approximately $36,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $4,000 or approximately 11.1%.   Monthly gateway fees for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were approximately $290,000 compared to approximately $254,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $36,000 or approximately 14.2%.

IPL Segment

Revenue from licensing our patented intellectual property increased by approximately $17,000 or approximately 3.9%, from approximately $434,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $451,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in revenue from licensing our patented intellectual property was attributable to an increase of approximately $17,000 in licensing revenue related to aggregate licenses providing running royalties and other paid up license fees.

CP/SL Segment

CP/SL segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $583,000, a decrease of approximately $100,000 or approximately 14.7% from CP/SL segment revenue of approximately $683,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in CP/SL segment revenue was primarily attributable to a reduction in revenue from our primary and secondary check collections business.

Revenue from our primary check collections business decreased approximately 22.1% from approximately $122,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Revenue from our secondary check collections business decreased approximately 13.0% from approximately $530,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $461,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in primary and secondary check collections business is primarily attributable to a reduction in returned checks for primary collections business and a reduction in collections of the principal amount and related fees of returned checks assigned for secondary recovery.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs incurred by the TPP and CP/SL operating segments.  These costs are incurred in the delivery of e-commerce transaction services, customer service support and check collection services and include processing and interchange fees paid, other third-party fees, personnel costs and associated benefits and stock-based compensation.

Cost of revenue increased from approximately $1,505,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, to approximately $1,715,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $210,000 or approximately 14.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our TPP segment cost of revenue of approximately $265,000 or approximately 25.1% from approximately $1,056,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $1,321,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in TPP segment cost of revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in our transaction processing interchange fees as well as an increase in staffing within our customer service support team.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs including associated stock-based compensation and employment benefits, office facilities, travel, public relations and professional service fees, which include legal fees, audit fees, SEC compliance costs and costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. General and administrative expenses also include the costs of corporate and support functions including our executive leadership and administration groups, finance, information technology, legal, human resources and corporate communication costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $1,077,000 from approximately $1,183,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of approximately $106,000 or approximately 9.0%.

CP/SL segment expenses decreased to approximately $112,000 from approximately $180,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, a decrease of approximately $68,000 or approximately 37.8%. The decrease in CP/SL segment general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to staff reductions and cost savings relating to the relocation of our Wichita, Kansas office during the third quarter of our prior fiscal year.  Also included in general and administrative expenses are stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $269,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $290,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $21,000 or approximately 7.2%.

These expenses include salaries, sales commissions, sales operations and other personnel-related expenses, travel and related expenses, trade shows, costs of lead generation, consulting fees and costs of marketing programs, such as internet, print and direct mail advertising costs.

Sales and marketing increased to approximately $93,000 from approximately $78,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of approximately 19.2%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $17,000 in TPP segment sales and marketing costs from approximately $70,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in TPP segment sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in wages and commissions of approximately $13,000.

Product Development and Enhancement

Product development and enhancement expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs of employees engaged in the research, design and development of new services and in the improving and enhancing of the existing product and service lines.

Product development and enhancement expenses were approximately $120,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $67,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in TPP segment product development and enhancement expenses of approximately $53,000 or approximately 96.4% from approximately $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $108,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in TPP product development and enhancement expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in staffing levels for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation remained consistent at approximately $198,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  This result is due to the depreciable asset base being consistent over the two periods.

 
-18-



Interest income

Interest income decreased to approximately $5,000 from approximately $82,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest bearing cash investments and a decrease in interest rates earned on cash investments.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased to approximately $2,000 from approximately $54,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the payment of the final installment of approximately $2,321,000 on the promissory notes relating to the acquisition of Beanstream which was made in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
Income tax expense (recovery)

Income tax expense (recovery) decreased to a recovery of current and future income taxes of approximately ($268,000) compared to an income tax expense of approximately $193,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of income tax expense of approximately $461,000.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the expected recovery of taxes for the current fiscal quarter resulting from the implementation of certain tax planning strategies during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Net income

Net income increased by approximately $301,000 from net income of approximately $65,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $366,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in our TPP segment sales and marketing expenses of approximately $36,000 from approximately $145,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $181,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in TPP segment sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in wages and commissions of approximately $29,000.

Product Development and Enhancement

Product development and enhancement expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs of employees engaged in the research, design and development of new services and in the improving and enhancing of the existing product and service lines.

Product development and enhancement expenses were approximately $220,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $139,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in our TPP segment product development and enhancement expenses of approximately $81,000 from approximately $115,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $196,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in TPP product development and enhancement expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in staffing levels for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Amortization and Depreciation

Amortization and depreciation increased to approximately $397,000 from approximately $393,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of approximately $4,000.

Interest income

Interest income decreased to approximately $16,000 from approximately $144,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest bearing cash investments and a decrease in interest rates earned on cash investments.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased to approximately $47,000 from approximately $159,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payment of the final installment of approximately $2,321,000 on the promissory notes relating to the acquisition of Beanstream which was made in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
Income tax expense (recovery)

Income tax expense (recovery) decreased to a recovery of current and future income taxes of approximately ($96,000) compared to an income tax expense of approximately $391,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of income tax expense of approximately $487,000.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in current income tax expense for the current fiscal period resulting from the implementation of certain tax planning strategies during the six months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Net income

Net income increased approximately $436,000 from net income of approximately $19,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $455,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were both approximately $0.02 for the six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.00 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and financial position consisted of approximately $3,794,000 in working capital as of September 30, 2009 compared to approximately $2,762,000 in working capital as of March 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $1,032,000. The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to an increase in the current portion of future income taxes of approximately $601,000 resulting from the implementation of tax planning strategies during the six months ended September 30, 2009.  Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $100,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $803,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, an increase in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $903,000. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash used in discharging accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $66,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to cash used in discharging accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $834,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  Cash used in investing activities was approximately $11,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $86,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease in cash used in investing activities of approximately $75,000. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a reduction in acquisition of property and equipment of approximately $74,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2008.  Cash used in financing activities was approximately $2,423,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to approximately $2,941,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease in cash used in financing activities of approximately $518,000. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the difference in the payments on the promissory notes relating to the acquisition of Beanstream.  During the six months ended September 30, 2009 we made the second and final payment of approximately $2,321,000 on the promissory notes as compared to the first payment of approximately $2,844,000 on the promissory notes made during the six months ended September 30, 2008, a difference in payments of approximately $523,000.

In light of our strategic objective of acquiring electronic payment volume across all our financial payment processing services and strengthening our position as a financial payment processor (as demonstrated by our acquisition of Beanstream), our long-term plans may include the potential to strategically acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies and may also include instituting actions against other entities who we believe are infringing our intellectual property.  We believe that existing cash and cash equivalent balances and potential cash flows from operations should satisfy our long-term cash requirements, however, we may have to raise additional funds for these purposes, either through equity or debt financing, as appropriate.  There can be no assurance that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning April 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of the end of the period covered by this report.  As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of our Corporation that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Corporation in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Corporation in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Corporation’s management, including our CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation our CEO and CAO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Corporation in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Corporation’s management, including our CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our CEO and CAO, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on our evaluation, during our most recent fiscal quarter there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
