Lead Plaintiffs Reed Gustow and Heather C. Winett, husband and wife, by their attorneys
allege the following facts, except as to allegations about themselves or their counsel, based upon
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 4 of 76
-1-
counsel’s investigation, which included: analysis of publicly-available news articles and reports,
public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, interviews of
former employees of defendant Carreker Corporation (“Carreker” or the “Company”), and
consultation with a financial markets expert, and review of other matters of public record.
I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
1. This is a securities fraud action brought under Section 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), 15 U.S.C. §§78j, 78t(a), 78t-1, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC, including Rule 10b-5, 17 C.F.R. §240.10b-5.
2. Carreker sells customized “payments-related” software, principally to banks.
Carreker’s software products, however, require customization before the software will function
according to the individual needs of the customer. This means that the software must first be
installed and then “implemented” over time so that the software is “functional.” When purchasing
software requiring significant customization, most banks pay Carreker to perform the customizing
by purchasing software installation and implementation services as part of the software arrangement.
3. Because Carreker sold customized software (as opposed to “off-the-shelf” and ready-
to-use software), special accounting rules dictated when Carreker could recognize revenue on its
financial statements from the sales of software contracts. The applicable accounting principle,
Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, also governs when and in what amounts revenue from software
implementation services are recognized.
4. Under SOP 97-2, where an arrangement to deliver software whether alone or with
other products or services, such as implementation services, requires significant modification or
customization of software, the entire arrangement must be accounted for as a single contract, and
the seller must use the “percentage of completion” method when recognizing revenue generated
from the contract. [SOP 97-2 ¶¶74-75.] Where implementation services are “essential to the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 5 of 76
-2-
functionality” of the software, both the sale of software license and implementation services must
be accounted under the “percentage-of-completion” method. [SOP 97-2 ¶65.] In addition, SOP 97-2
requires that when a software company uses contracts requiring signatures by the seller and the
customer, both signatures must appear as “evidence of an arrangement” before the seller – the
software company – may recognize revenue. [SOP 97-2 ¶16.]
5. Carreker reported consistent record revenue and earnings growth for the First Quarter
of fiscal year (“FY”) 1998 to the Fourth Quarter of FY2000, as the Company appeared to meet or
exceed the consensus estimates of Wall Street analysts.
6. To meet these estimates, however, and to report an upward growth trend, Carreker
prematurely and improperly recognized revenue from its software contracts on its publicly-filed
financial statements. During every quarter after Carreker’s initial public offering on May 20, 1998
through the Second Quarter of FY2002, Carreker prematurely recognized revenue from:
! Software contracts that required Carreker to provide implementation services
essential to the software’s functionality, in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“GAAP”);
! implementation services that had not yet been performed, in violation of GAAP; and
! software contracts that had not been fully executed by both Carreker and its customer,
in violation of GAAP.
7. As a result, Carreker’s financial statements filed with the SEC were materially false
and misleading from the First Quarter of FY1998 through the Second Quarter of FY2002. Carreker
artificially inflated revenue by approximately 8% and earnings per share by more than 114% for
FY1998. Carreker also inflated revenue by approximately 13% for FY2001, and understated a net
loss by more than 33%.
8. Carreker’s artificial inflation of revenue and earnings over this long period of time
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 6 of 76
-3-
was not innocent or an accident. Several former Carreker employees have reported that defendant
John “Denny” Carreker, Jr., the Company’s CEO, Chairman and largest shareholder, directed
several Company officers and employees to prematurely recognize revenue to enable Carreker to
meet or exceed analysts’ estimates and report a consistent trend of growth. Numerous Carreker
employees were witnesses to Carreker’s calculated premature revenue practices, as detailed below.
9. After Carreker had artificially inflated its stock price through the premature
recognition of software revenue, the insiders cashed out. In November 2000, Denny Carreker and
Ronald Antinori, Carreker’s former Vice Chairman, Chief Technology Officer and second largest
shareholder, conducted a secondary offering of over 2 million shares of the Company’s stock. The
secondary offering enabled Denny Carreker and Ronald Antinori to sell large blocks of their
Carreker stock at an all time high price – $17 per share – attained through Carreker’s systemic and
sustained recognition of revenue that had not yet been earned.
10. As set forth below and in the attached declaration of plaintiffs’ expert, Denny
Carreker and Ronald Antinori would have been unable to sell their shares at a secondary offering
price of $17 per share had Carreker not falsely reported a consistent and upward trend of revenue
and earnings growth in the quarters preceding the secondary offering.
11. Denny Carreker reaped approximately $25.7 million, and Ronald Antinori
approximately $15.7 million from the secondary offering. Both unloaded over 34% of their total
Carreker shares in the secondary offering.
12. Within less than 9 months after the secondary offering, Carreker’s stock price began
to decline to its old lows when the Company – even after continued premature revenue recognition
– was unable to make up for losses caused by lower demand for its consulting services in 2001.
13. On September 17, 2002, Carreker’s Audit Committee received a letter from Carreker
employees detailing Denny Carreker’s misappropriation of funds, fraudulent recognition of revenues
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 7 of 76
-4-
and insider trading. The letter spurred an internal investigation of Carreker’s revenue recognition
practices.
14. On December 10, 2002, Carreker disclosed the existence of this internal investigation
to the marketplace and warned that none of its financial statements could be relied upon. Carreker
also revealed that it would likely have to restate its financial statements for prior periods – by
definition an admission that its prior financial statements were materially misstated. Carreker’s
stock dropped to $3.98 on news of the December 10, 2002 revelation, a decline of 22.6% from the
previous day’s closing price of $5.08.
15. On April 30, 2003, Carreker filed its Form 10-K containing its financial results for
FY1998, FY1999, FY2000, and FY2001. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted to premature
recognition of revenue from software licensing contracts and software implementation services.
16. This action seeks to pursue remedies under the Exchange Act on behalf of a class of
investors who purchased shares of Carreker common stock during the period July 30, 1999 through
December 10, 2002, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
17. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to Section
27 of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78aa.
18. Venue is proper in this Judicial District pursuant to Section 27 of the Exchange Act
and 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). Carreker maintains its principal executive offices in this District and many
of the acts giving rise to the violations of law complained of herein, including the preparation and
dissemination to the investing public of false and misleading information, occurred in this District.
19. In connection with the acts, conduct and other wrongs alleged in this Complaint, the
defendants, directly or indirectly, used the means and instrumentalities of interstate commerce,
including the mails, telephone communications and the facilities of national securities exchanges.

III. THE PARTIES
20. Lead Plaintiffs Reed Gustow and Heather C. Winett, husband and wife, purchased
shares of Carreker common stock during the Class Period and held the stock at the time the fraud
was revealed on December 10, 2002. Lead Plaintiffs have thereby been damaged. Reed Gustow
and Heather C. Winett were appointed Lead Plaintiffs in this action by Court Order dated August
14, 2003. A certification demonstrating all of their transactions in Carreker common stock during
the Class Period is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
21. Defendant Carreker Corp. f/k/a Carreker-Antinori, Inc. is a Delaware corporation
with its principal place of business located at 4055 Valley View Lane, Dallas, Texas 75244.

IV. SUBSTANTIVE ALLEGATIONS
A. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
25. Carreker provides payments-related software and consulting solutions to financial
institutions and financial services providers. Many of Carreker’s software products require
significant customization before the software can function. When purchasing software that requires
significant customization, most banks pay Carreker to perform the customizing by purchasing
software installation and implementation services as part of the software arrangement. [FY2002
Form 10-K.]
1. The Applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principle
26. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position
(“SOP”) 97-2 governs when and in what amounts revenue from sales of software licenses may be
recognized. Under SOP 97-2, where an arrangement to deliver software, whether alone or with
other products or services, such as implementation services, requires “significant production,
modification, or customization of software,” the entire arrangement must be accounted for as a
single contract, and the software vendor must apply the “percentage-of-completion” method to both
the license and services components when recognizing revenue generated from the contract. [SOP
97-2 ¶¶74-75.]
27. SOP 97-2 also governs when and in what amounts revenue from software
implementation services are recognized. Under SOP 97-2, where implementation services are
“essential to the functionality” of the software, both the license and implementation services
elements of bundled software transactions must be accounted for under the “percentage-of-
completion” method. [SOP 97-2 ¶65.]
28. When a software company uses contracts requiring signatures by the software
company and its customer, SOP 97-2 provides that both signatures – the software vendor’s and the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 10 of 76
-7-
customer’s – are required as “evidence of an arrangement” before the software company may
recognize revenue. [SOP 97-2 ¶16.]
2. Carreker Admits That It Violated GAAP Through The Restatementof Its Financial Statements Dating Back To FY1998
29. In its FY2002 Form 10-K and Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q Carreker,
respectively, restated its financial results for FY1998, FY1999, FY2000 and FY2001 and the First
and Second Quarters of FY2002. The Company provided the following explanation for the
restatement:
[I]n certain instances, revenue had been recorded on contracts in one accountingperiod where customer signature and delivery of software had been completed, butwhere the contract may not have been fully executed by the Company in thataccounting period. The Company determined that revisions to certain prior financialstatements were necessary to ensure that all agreements for which revenue wasrecognized in an accounting period were executed by both parties no later than theend of the accounting period in which the revenue was being recognized.
* * *The Company had originally concluded under the criteria of SOP 97-2 that serviceswere not essential to the functionality of the software, requiring recognition ofsoftware license revenue at the time of delivery of the software. However, as a resultof this review, the Company has now decided that when implementation fees arereceived for specific types of transactions in which the Company is licensingsoftware and performing certain implementation services, these services are moreproperly considered essential to the functionality of the other elements of thearrangement. Therefore, the related license revenue and implementation revenueshould have been recognized as the services were performed using the percentage ofcompletion method rather than upon delivery of the software. The impact of theserevisions on total revenue was to defer the timing of revenue recognition fortransactions that combine both a software license and implementation services.
* * *
Thus, through the restatement, Carreker admitted that: (1) from FY1998 to the Second Quarter of
FY2002, the Company prematurely recognized revenue from software licensing contracts that were
not fully-executed in the period in which the software was delivered rather than in the period in
which the contracts were fully-executed as required by GAAP; and (2) from FY1998 to the Second
Quarter of FY2002, the Company misstated its revenues from software license and implementation
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 11 of 76
-8-
services by prematurely recognizing revenue from software for which implementation services were
essential to functionality in the period the software was delivered in violation of GAAP, rather than
recognizing the license revenue and implementation revenue as the implementation services were
performed using the percentage of completion method. The FY2002 Form 10-K specifically stated,
“the related license revenue and implementation revenue should have been recognized as the
services were performed using the percentage of completion method rather than upon delivery of
the software.” The FY2002 Form 10-K was signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and the
restatement therein constitutes an admission by each defendant that the Forms 10-K they had signed
in prior years contained materially false financial statements. [FY2002 Form 10-K at note 3; Third
Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q at note 3].
30. By restating its financial results for FY1998 through FY2001, Carreker admitted that
the financial statements were materially false and misleading because GAAP provides that only
previously issued financial statements which are misstated are to be retroactively restated. [APB
Opinion No. 20, APB Opinion No. 9 and the AICPA’s Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No.
53.] Similarly, financial statements filed with the SEC that are not prepared in conformity with
GAAP are presumed to be misleading and inaccurate. [Regulation S-X, 17 C.F.R. § 210.4-01(a)(1).]
31. The impact of the restatement on reported revenue and earnings for FY 1998 through
FY 2001 is as follows:

Carreker did not disclose the quarterly impact of the restatement for the quarters during FY1998,
FY1999, and FY2000. [FY1998, FY1999, FY2000, FY2001, and FY2002 Forms 10-K.]
32. The restated software implementation fee revenue figures do not reflect all necessary
adjustments. Carreker admitted in its explanation of the restatement that it improperly booked
revenue from implementation service fees upon delivery of the software rather than as the services
were performed. In addition, as discussed in Part IV-A-4 below, Carreker engaged in this practice
at the latest in 1999. However, comparison of the restated software implementation revenue figures
with the reported figures shows that no adjustment was made to the reported figures for FY1998 and
FY1999 while a mere $53,000 downward adjustment was made to implementation revenue reported
for FY 2000 and a $1.5 million upward adjustment was made in FY 2001. Had Carreker properly
restated revenue from implementation services, total revenue, net income and earnings per share
correspondingly would have been further negatively impacted in at least certain periods.
33. Through its improper accounting practices, Carreker converted a 33% decline in
earnings per share in FY1998 into a 43% increase. By virtue of its accounting manipulations,
Carreker also was able to report that sales of its software grew 45% in FY1998 when in reality sales
increased only 11%. Carreker was also able to report that software license revenue grew 123% in
FY2001 when in fact it had only grown 42% over the prior year period. Similarly, the premature
revenue recognition scheme permitted Carreker to report a 343% decline in earnings per share in
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 13 of 76
-10-
FY2001 when in reality earnings per share declined 464%. Thus, through the improper revenue
recognition practices, Carreker distorted the sales growth picture for its software business as well
as the revenue and earnings growth picture for its entire operations.
34. As concluded by Scott D. Hakala, Ph.D., CFA, a financial markets expert and
Director of CBIZ Valuation Group, LLC (“Dr. Hakala”) who plaintiffs engaged to opine on certain
subjects in this case including the materiality of the restatement: “Recognition of software licensing
fee revenue and software implementation fee revenue before that revenue was earned in violation
of generally accepted accounting principles (SOP 97-2) is material to investors and ... led to a
substantial distortion of the trends and valuation of [Carreker] throughout the period from May 20,
1998 through December 10, 2002.” Dr. Hakala also opined that Carreker’s premature recognition
of revenue led to a “roller coaster” type of stock price chart because, as is often the case, this type
of improper accounting led to substantial overstatements of revenue and earnings in certain quarters
and years while in other quarters and years the reported numbers were less than they would have
been had revenue actually earned in that period not already been improperly reported in an earlier
period. Dr. Hakala concluded that “revelation of the extent of the problems and the true state of
Carreker’s financial condition, particularly in the second half of 2002, led to a significant loss in
value for the shareholders of Carreker.” [May 31, 2005 Declaration of Scott D. Hakala at ¶7, which
is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.]
35. Based on regression analyses of Carreker’s share price’s response to key Company
events, Dr. Hakala concludes that if Carreker had properly stated its financial condition, the value
of Carreker’s common stock would have been materially reduced throughout the period from May
20, 1998 through December 10, 2002. According to Dr. Hakala, the share price of Carreker was
particularly inflated in FY1998 and early FY1999 as a result of the material overstatement of
software license fees and earnings as evidenced by the restatement. [May 31, 2005 Declaration of
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 14 of 76
-11-
Scott D. Hakala at ¶8, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.]
36. Dr. Hakala further concludes that in FY2001 revenue and earnings were materially
inflated as a result of Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue, as indicated by the restatement.
Correspondingly, in 2002, Carreker’s shares declined and investors suffered losses as a result of the
Company being unable to report revenue that had already been improperly reported in earlier
periods. More particularly, Dr. Hakala found that Carreker’s inability to maintain the inflated
revenues and earnings in 2001 led to significant share price declines of: (i) 12.18% associated with
the Second Quarter of FY2002 earnings announcement on September 13, 2002; (ii) 29.41%
associated with the revised earnings guidance for the Third Quarter of FY2002 on November 14,
2002; (iii) and 24.22% associated with the announcement of a need to restate prior reported revenue
and earnings on December 10, 2002. Dr. Hakala summarized that “the true state of Carreker’s
business was revealed at the end of the proposed Class Period and led to substantial declines in its
relative share price of 57.29% between September 12 and December 10, 2002.... [and]
[f]urthermore, losses in values occurred over the following 90 days after the end of the proposed
Class Period.” [May 31, 2005 Declaration of Scott D. Hakala at ¶10, which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.]
3. Defendants Knowingly or Recklessly Prematurely Recognized RevenueFrom Licenses That Were Not Functional in Violation of SOP 97-2
37. Carreker violated GAAP (SOP 97-2) by recording revenue from software license
contracts that required “significant production, modification, or customization of software” and for
which implementation services were necessary to the software’s functionality in the fiscal quarter
of delivery rather than under the percentage of completion method as the implementation services
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 15 of 76
-12-
were performed (the “Acceleration of Software License Revenue Practice”). This practice resulted
in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software licenses. As a consequence,
defendants made material misrepresentations concerning Carreker’s revenues and earnings in
various public documents. In its FY2002 Form 10-K and Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q,
Carreker admitted that the Acceleration of Recognition of Software License Revenue Practice
resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of revenue during the
Class Period. [The foregoing allegations are based on SOP 97-2 ¶¶74-75 and Carreker’s
explanation of the restatement set forth in the FY2002 10-K at note 3 and Third Quarter of FY2002
10-Q at note 3.]
38. Defendant Gage, Carreker’s CFO, knew license and implementation revenue was
being recognized improperly. Gage advised Denny Carreker of this on several occasions. Denny
Carreker, however, insisted that revenue be booked at the earliest possible time, even though it
meant violating applicable accounting rules. At one point after June 1998 but before August 2000,
a heated discussion took place between Gage and Denny Carreker after Gage insisted that revenue
be recorded properly in accordance with applicable accounting rules. Gage ultimately agreed to
record revenue improperly as Denny Carreker had demanded. [The foregoing allegations are based
upon information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs in September 2003 by Carreker’s Investor
Relations Coordinator and Executive Assistant to defendant Gage from June 1998 to August 2000
(“Source 3”). Source 3’s desk was located approximately five feet from Terry Gage’s office and
approximately equally as close to Denny Carreker’s office. As Investor Relations Coordinator and
Executive Assistant to the CFO, Source 3 interacted with Carreker’s accounting department and
gathered documents reviewed by Carreker’s outside auditor, Ernst & Young, as part of its audits
and quarterly reviews.]
39. Every quarter-end from 1999 to at least early 2001, Carreker executives including
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 16 of 76
-13-
but not limited to Gage, Jack Davis (Executive Vice President and Managing Director of
Technology), Royce Brown (Executive Vice President, Vice Chairman of the Office of the
President, and Managing Director of Payment Systems), Wyn Lewis (Executive Vice President of
the Revenue Enhancement Division), and Subhash Mukerji (Sales Supervisor) would gather in
Denny Carreker’s office at the Company’s Dallas offices where they would scheme about how to
increase the Company’s reported revenues so the Company could meet or exceed analysts’ estimates
and report growth. At these meetings, Denny Carreker exerted significant pressure on the executives
to generate revenue to enable the Company to bridge the gap between actual revenue and Wall Street
analysts’ estimates. [The foregoing allegations are based upon information provided to counsel for
lead plaintiffs by a former Senior Principal, or installation manager, responsible for the installation
of Carreker software from 1999 to the Fall of 2002 (“Source 1”) who has personal knowledge of
the information.]
40. It was common knowledge at the Company that “Denny Carreker recognized revenue
and cooked the books to get the stock price up.” [The foregoing allegations are based upon
information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by a former Senior Consultant at Carreker from
prior to the IPO to November 2001 who executed revenue enhancement projects for banks and
advised banks how to make back-office operations more efficient (“Source 4”).]
41. According to Source 3, at each quarter-end and fiscal year-end from at least June
1998 to at least August 2000, Denny Carreker and Gage often had significant disagreements with
the Company’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young (“E&Y”) regarding Carreker’s recognition of
revenue. In fact, according to Source 3, sometime between June 1998 and August 2000, E&Y
refused to approve one of the Company’s 10-Q reports due to a dispute over revenue recognition.
However, Denny Carreker threatened to terminate the relationship if E&Y did not approve the 10-Q
report. Faced with Denny Carreker’s threat, E&Y ultimately agreed to approve the 10-Q report.
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 17 of 76
-14-
[The forgoing allegations are based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs in
September 2003 by Source 3 who overheard the threat.]
42. Source 3 also provided that while employed by Carreker, a colleague who worked
in Carreker’s accounting department would tell Source 3 virtually every quarter that earnings
estimates would not be met. However, to Source 3’s and the colleague’s surprise, earnings estimates
were always met or exceeded. Based on her knowledge of the Company’s results of operations,
Source 3’s accounting department colleague did not know how the Company could possibly have
met its earnings estimates.
43. From early 1998 to at least 2000, Carreker commonly shipped blank CDs or the
wrong software altogether in order to report the delivery of software and book the revenue from the
sale of the license. Only when Carreker’s team arrived to perform the installation services did the
Company’s customer receive the actual software it purchased. [The forgoing allegations are based
on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by: (i) Source 1 who has personal knowledge
of the information; and (ii) a former employee who worked as a Project Manager from 1995 to 1999
and as a consultant from 1999 to 2003 (“Source 6”) who has personal knowledge because Source
6's job duties as a Project Manager required Source 6 to ship software to customers even though
the software was not ready.]
44. Source 6 was aware that back-dating of contracts and claiming revenue during a
reporting period for contracts that were not signed during the reporting period were occurring at the
Company. These practices were common and, “they did it all the time,” according to Source 6.
45. According to Source 6, Carreker’s improper revenue recognition practices were
ongoing within the Company when Source 6 joined Carreker in 1995. According to Source 6, there
were significant pressures within the Company to meet financial targets and to ship software at the
end of the quarter without the appropriate documentation. Carreker often shipped inferior product,
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 18 of 76
-15-
and sometimes empty boxes and boxes containing only descriptive literature, so that revenue could
be recognized, according to Source 6. Source 6 knew of this because Source 6 was one of the
individuals responsible for shipping the software. The request to ship the software before they were
ready occurred most frequently on the last one or two days of the quarter, according to Source 6.
The people who reported to Denny Carreker knew of the improper practices because they were the
individuals who would give the orders to ship the software, according to Source 6. According to
Source 6, Carreker would “hold the end of the month open” for up to a week in order to “get things
in.” Source 6 was told to ship the software even if the Company had not yet received the contract.
Source 6 said that primarily Source 6's boss, Jack Davis, was the person telling Source 6 to follow
these improper practices. Sometimes Source 6 was told to ship empty boxes, boxes containing only
descriptive literature and not software, and, oftentimes, software known to have “read errors” so that
shipments could go out and the revenue could be recognized during the then-current reporting
period. Source 6 had knowledge of this because Source 6 was one of the individuals responsible for
shipping the software. According to Source 6, the “revenue enhancement area,” “check link
contracts,” “Antinori software products,” and “Genesis” were areas within Carreker where improper
accounting practices were most frequently employed. Denny Carreker was aware of Carreker’s
improper revenue recognition practices and was giving the orders to his subordinates to “make the
numbers,” according to Source 6. Carreker’s improper revenue recognition practices were employed
“to make the numbers, to make things look better than they were,” according to Source 6.
Knowledge of these improper practices was company-wide, according to Source 6.
46. According to Source 6, shipping records, which were all handled through FedEx,
could be compared with dates on certain software contracts to show that the software was shipped
prior to the execution of the contract so that software revenue could be recognized as the software
was shipped. Source 6 also stated that some of the demands by management to ship software early
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 19 of 76
-16-
were made by email, but the majority of the demands were made verbally.
47. Similarly, according to a former Carreker employee who was a Staff Accountant
from 1999 to 2001 and whose duties included performing billing and preparing subsidiary financial
statements and who worked on accounts receivables (“Source 7”), Carreker sometimes billed
customers for software sales before the software was shipped. Source 7 knows this because, at the
direction of Source 7’s superiors (including but not limited to controllers), Source 7 sometimes
prepared and sent invoices to customers even though the software was still at Carreker’s office.
Source 7 actually saw the corresponding software in Carreker’s office when the invoices were sent.
According to Source 7, when the invoices were generated and sent to customers, revenue and
accounts receivable were recorded by Carreker.
4. Defendants Knowingly or Recklessly Recognized Implementation ServicesRevenue Before The Services Were Performed in Violation of SOP 97-2
48. Carreker violated GAAP (SOP 97-2) by recording revenue from implementation
services that were necessary to the functionality of the software before the implementation services
were performed (the “Acceleration of Implementation Revenue Practice”). This practice resulted
in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from implementation services. As a consequence,
defendants made material misrepresentations concerning Carreker’s revenues and earnings in
various public documents. In its FY2002 Form 10-K and Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q,
Carreker admitted that the Acceleration of Recognition of Implementation Revenue Practice resulted
in the Company prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of revenue during the class period.
[The foregoing allegations are based on SOP 97-2 ¶¶65, 74-75 and Carreker’s explanation of the
restatement set forth in the FY2002 Form 10-K at note 3 and Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q
at note 3.]
49. Source 1 maintained a schedule that tracked the percentage of installation work
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 20 of 76
-17-
completed by the installation manager’s team at the end of each month. The Company would
consider the revenue earned and correspondingly recognize as revenue the same percentage of the
installation fee as the percentage of the installation work that was reported as having been
completed. At the quarter-end meetings, Denny Carreker directed Jack Davis to pressure Source
1 to report that a higher percentage of installation services were performed than actually were
performed. Also, at quarter-ends from 1999 to early 2001, Managing Principal, Paul Carrubba, at
the direction of Jack Davis, would instruct Source 1 to report that a higher percentage of installation
services was performed than actually was performed. Carreker controller, Judy Grooters, at the
direction of defendant Gage, would also sometimes instruct Source 1 to report that a higher
percentage of installation services was performed than actually was performed. On certain
occasions Davis and Carrubba instructed Source 1 to report a specific amount of services had been
performed so as to allow the Company to meet analysts’ revenue estimates. Employees commonly
referred to this practice as “the end-of-quarter revenue hunt.” Source 1 explained that when the
installation services for which the revenue had already been recognized were actually performed,
the installation team was instructed to bill the time spent performing the services to maintenance
which was a fixed price arrangement purchased with a software license. In many cases the accounts
had already been closed because the installation had been complete. [The forgoing allegations are
based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 1 who has personal
knowledge of the information.]
50. Carreker would commonly bill customers and recognize revenue from
implementation of software before any implementation services were actually performed. One
example of a contract for which the Company prematurely recognized revenue from implementation
services was the National City Bank engagement in or around May 2001 for which Carreker billed
the bank more than $1 million for implementation services and booked the revenue before even
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 21 of 76
-18-
beginning the implementation process. Indeed, it was generally known throughout the Company
that implementation revenue was recognized before implementation services were performed. A
former employee indicated that this practice was “common” at Carreker, and that “in order for us
to make numbers, we had to creatively claim income.” [The foregoing allegation is based on
information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by a former Carreker employee who was
responsible for implementation of Carreker software from January 1998 to the Fall of 2001
(“Source 2”) and who has personal knowledge of the information.]
51. Similarly, Source 7, the Staff Accountant whose duties included performing billing,
was aware from Source 7’s involvement in the billing process that Carreker improperly recognized
revenue from National City Bank and First Union before the implementation of their software was
complete. According to Source 7, it was not unusual for Carreker to send invoices for
implementation services before implementation services were performed. Source 7 knows this
because project managers tracked the progress of implementation progress on tracking forms, and
Source 7 was often told by superiors in the billing department to send invoices before the tracking
forms were available. Source 7 said tracking forms were unavailable because implementation had
not yet begun. Source 7 said that when invoices were generated and sent to customers, revenue and
accounts receivable were recorded by Carreker. [The foregoing allegation is based on information
provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 7 who has personal knowledge of the information.]
52. Source 7 also attended a “breakfast meeting” in 2000 with Denny Carreker and
numerous other personnel from the billing department. At this meeting, Source 7 and several other
employees voiced concerns regarding, among other things, implementation services being billed
before the implementation services were performed. Denny Carreker, however, took no action to
remedy the employees’ concerns. [The foregoing allegation is based on information provided to
counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 7 who has personal knowledge of the information.]
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 22 of 76
-19-
53. According to Source 1, the implementation team would hold “kickoff meetings” at
the purchaser bank during which no actual implementation services were performed. Nevertheless,
following the “kickoff meeting,” the Company would often recognize 25% of the implementation
revenue from the job. [The foregoing allegations are based on information provided to counsel for
lead plaintiffs by Source 1 who has personal knowledge of the information.]
54. According to a September 17, 2002 letter sent by the “Committee of Concerned
Carreker Employees” (“CCCE”) to the Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board of Directors and to
the SEC, Denny Carreker and Gage knowingly recognized implementation services revenue before
the services were performed in violation of SOP 97-2:
Mr. Carreker and his CFO, Terry Gage, have fraudulently recognized revenue fromcompany business and contracts which they know violates GAAP rules andimproperly inflates corporate profits and corporate stock values with the intent tomislead investors. This has been conducted in many forms - backdating contracts;claiming revenue from contracts not yet signed by the client in the reporting periodclaimed, and the premature announcement of signed business when no such contracthas been signed by the client through premature press releases; intentionallyoverestimating the percent of completion/installation of software contracts inorder to recognize revenue; overstating consulting fees when the client disputes thevalue of consulting services received or the completion of these services. Some ofthe contracts include First Star, Chase Bank, First Virginia (revenue enhancement),Key Bank (software installation), Fleet Boston (risk management), and Mellon Bank(software). Through Bob Olson (EVP for Marketing) and Denny Carreker,employees have been encouraged or intimidated (through loss of employment) to lieand misrepresent to auditors the true status of these contracts as they relate to GAAPinterpretation and application. Many employees have informed the Company’s auditcommittee of these illegal acts apparently resulting in no action or investigationbecause of the lack of independence maintained there.
(Emphasis added). [Sep. 17, 2002 letter from the CCCE to the Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board
of Directors, which is reproduced in its entirety at ¶121 below and attached hereto as Exhibit 3.]
5. Defendants Knowingly or Recklessly Recognized Revenue from ContractsThat Were Not Executed until after the Quarter Had Already Closed
55. Carreker violated GAAP (SOP 97-2) by recording revenue in fiscal quarters from
software contracts that were not fully-executed – and for which “evidence of an arrangement” did
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 23 of 76
-20-
not exist – until a subsequent quarter (the “Extended Quarters Practice”). This practice resulted in
Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue. As a consequence, defendants made material
misrepresentations concerning Carreker’s revenues and earnings in various public documents. In
its FY2002 Form 10-K and Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q, Carreker admitted that the
Extended Quarters Practice resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing substantial
percentages of revenue during the Class Period. [The foregoing allegations are based on SOP 97-2
¶16 and Carreker’s explanation of the restatement set forth in the FY2002 Form 10-K at note 3 and
Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q at note 3.]
56. At the end of each quarter Carreker would often offer banks exceptionally generous
deals in order to meet analysts’ estimates. On many occasions the contracts would come back
undated from customers after the reporting period had already closed so as to allow Carreker to
insert dates that preceded the end of quarter deadline. [The foregoing allegations are based on
information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 1 who has personal knowledge of the
information.] A few examples of such contracts include but are not limited to: (i) a contract
memorializing the sale of software and implementation services to Trustmark Bank for $280,000
that according to its heading was created on November 1, 1999 but was backdated to October 29,
1999 by Paul Carrubba and Trustmark Bank’s Chief Information Officer, Jim Outlaw, in order to
allow Carreker to recognize the revenue in the Third Quarter of FY1999 which ended on October
31, 1999; and (ii) a contract memorializing the sale of a software license as well as installation and
implementation services to Toronto Dominion Bank for $382,500 that according to the filename
printed on the bottom margin of the document was created on May 1, 2001 but was backdated to
April 30, 2001 by Carreker Executive Vice President Michael Hansen and Michael P. Blassing, Vice
President at The Toronto-Dominion Bank, in order to allow Carreker to recognize the revenue in the
First Quarter of FY 2001 which ended on April 30, 2001. [The foregoing allegations are based on
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 24 of 76
-21-
the contracts themselves, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4 and 5, and information provided
by Source 1.]
57. According to a former Senior Consultant who was employed by Carreker from 1996
through late 2001 who was involved in revenue enhancement projects for banks and in improving
operational efficiencies for banks (“Source 4”), Royce Brown, Executive Vice President, Vice
Chairman of the Office of the President, and Managing Director of Payment Systems for Carreker
told Source 4 about Carreker’s improper revenue recognition practices. Source 4 heard from other
employees that these improper revenue recognition practices included the back-dating of contracts
and reporting revenue from contracts that were not signed during the reporting quarter. In fact,
according to Source 4, it was commonly known at the Company that Denny Carreker was
“recognizing revenue and cooking the books to get the price for the stock up.” According to Source
4, it was also common knowledge that if Carreker employees mentioned that they had a client that
was getting close to signing a contract, Denny Carreker would say “go ahead and book it,” (i.e.,
recognize the revenue) regardless of whether the contract had actually been signed. According to
Source 4, Denny Carreker was notorious for going in-person to clients and saying something to the
effect of “okay, you owe us x number of dollars in April, ... we need to make our March revenue
goals, if you will pay us a discounted price, we will take that now.” According to Source 4, it was
common knowledge within Carreker that toward the end of the quarter Denny Carreker would often
approach clients and offer them discounted contracts if they would pay for the contracts during the
current quarter. According to Source 4, the revenue from these contracts would be immediately
recognized, even though the services required by such contracts would not be completed until future
quarters. According to Source 4, this practice angered one of Carreker’s largest clients, Wells
Fargo, and particularly Webb Edwards, a high-level executive at Wells Fargo. According to Source
4, Carreker’s foregoing revenue recognition practices were “crooked” and in violation of GAAP.
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 25 of 76
-22-
[The foregoing allegations are based on information obtained from Source 4 who has personal
knowledge of the information.]
58. According to Source 4, at a board meeting held in late 2000 or early 2001, Director
Richard R. Lee, Jr. and Denny Carreker had a heated argument about Carreker’s practice of
recognizing revenue from contracts that were not executed by quarter-end, during which Richard
Lee admonished Denny Carreker for allowing the improper accounting practice to continue. As
stated to Source 4 by Royce Brown, at this board meeting Lee essentially advised Denny Carreker
that the Company could not continue to employ the improper revenue recognition practices that it
had been utilizing. Despite Lee’s protestations, the improper revenue practices continued. [The
forgoing allegations are based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 4
who was informed of the argument by former Executive Vice President, Vice Chairman of the Office
of the President, and Managing Director of Payment Systems, Royce Brown.]
59. Contracts were often backdated by 30 to 45 days to the previous quarter so that
Carreker could increase revenue in that already-closed quarter. [The foregoing allegation is based
on information obtained by counsel for lead plaintiffs from a former Carreker employee who stated
that they had personal knowledge of the contract backdating, as the former employee “did deals”
involving the backdated contracts.]
60. According to Source 7 (the former Staff Accountant), Carreker sometimes generated
invoices and correspondingly recognized software revenue before executed contracts were received
from customers. The only support Carreker had for these invoices was a spreadsheet prepared by
other Carreker employees outlining the terms of the purported contract. Source 7 prepared and sent
the invoices to customers and saw that Carreker had not yet obtained a signed contract from the
customer. According to Source 7, the missing contracts would usually be received after the invoices
were sent to customers. The dates on the contracts often post-dated the dates of the invoices. [The
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 26 of 76
-23-
forgoing allegations are based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 7
who had personal knowledge in that Source 7 generated invoices, witnessed that there were no
underlying contracts, and witnessed that dates of subsequently received contracts often post-dated
the corresponding invoices.]
61. Source 7 voiced a concern about improper billing practices in a letter to Denny
Carreker in 1999, which stated that billing sometimes took place without the existence of an
underlying contract. Neither Denny nor anyone else at Carreker did anything to resolve Source 7’s
concern. Terry Gage replied to Source 7 instructing that these types of concerns should be directed
to him rather than Denny Carreker in the future. Further, according to Source 7, at the “breakfast
meeting” in 2000 with Denny Carreker and numerous other personnel from the billing department
referenced in ¶52 above, Source 7 and other employees voiced concerns concerning, among other
things, invoices and software revenue being generated before contracts were received from
customers. Denny Carreker took no subsequent action to remedy their concerns. [The foregoing
allegation is based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 7 who has
personal knowledge of the information.]
62. Once again, according to the September 17, 2002 letter sent by the CCCE to the
Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board of Directors and to the SEC, Denny Carreker and Gage
knowingly recognized revenue from contracts that were not executed until after the quarter had
already closed in violation of SOP 97-2 and knew about the backdating of contracts:
Mr. Carreker and his CFO, Terry Gage, have fraudulently recognized revenue fromcompany business and contracts which they know violates GAAP rules andimproperly inflates corporate profits and corporate stock values with the intent tomislead investors. This has been conducted in many forms - backdating contracts;claiming revenue from contracts not yet signed by the client in the reportingperiod claimed, and the premature announcement of signed business when nosuch contract has been signed by the client through premature press releases;intentionally overestimating the percent of completion/installation of softwarecontracts in order to recognize revenue; overstating consulting fees when the client
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 27 of 76
-24-
disputes the value of consulting services received or the completion of these services.Some of the contracts include First Star, Chase Bank, First Virginia (revenueenhancement), Key Bank (software installation), Fleet Boston (risk management),and Mellon Bank (software). Through Bob Olson (EVP for Marketing) and DennyCarreker, employees have been encouraged or intimidated (through loss ofemployment) to lie and misrepresent to auditors the true status of these contracts asthey relate to GAAP interpretation and application. Many employees have informedthe Company’s audit committee of these illegal acts apparently resulting in no actionor investigation because of the lack of independence maintained there.
(Emphasis added). [Sep. 17, 2002 letter from the CCCE to the Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board
of Directors, which is reproduced in its entirety at ¶121 below and attached hereto as Exhibit 3.]
63. According to a memo dated February 24, 2003 from the CCCE to counsel for a
plaintiff whose class action was subsequently consolidated into this case, several directors, including
Ronald Antinori, were aware of the fraudulent revenue recognition practices orchestrated by Denny
Carreker but took no action to prevent the continuation of the false statements and GAAP violations:
Several Directors were notified on many occasions by numerous employeesof the fraudulent revenue recognition violation by Denny Carreker but refused toinvestigate or act to prevent future violations by Denny Carreker and his seniormanagement. Specifically, James Fischer and Ron Antinori of the Board bothwere notified by employees in 1999 of several particular instances but refusedto investigate. Simply put, board members refused to carryout their fiduciaryresponsibility to shareholders by ensuring accurate and complete reporting of theCompany’s revenues because either they were actively conspiring with DennyCarreker to fraudulently report revenues or were too concerned for their own boardseat and interests to raise the issue with the entire Board of Directors. There hasbeen a long history of conflict of interest among board member’s private interestswith Denny Carreker and his family and their respective positions on the board,which has had a diminutive effect on corporate governance within the Company.The September 17 letter address many of these conflicts.th

6. Defendants’ and the Carreker Family’s Stock Sales While Carreker’s StockPrice Was Artificially Inflated as a Result of the False Financial Statements
(a) The November 2000 Secondary Offering
64. In early 2000, when Carreker’s stock price approached $10 per share, many
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 28 of 76
-25-
employees wanted to sell their shares. Denny Carreker insisted that the Company conduct a
secondary stock offering so, among other things, he could sell stock while simultaneously
establishing a blackout period to prevent other employees from selling shares, which he believed
would help sustain Carreker’s inflated stock price. Gage advised Denny Carreker not to conduct the
secondary offering because the Company was not in need of cash. [The forgoing allegations are
based on information provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs in September 2003 by Source 3.]
65. In the quarter prior to the secondary offering in November 2000, Paul Carrubba
directed Source 1 to report that more installation services had been completed because Denny
Carreker was demanding that the Company meet analyst expectations so that the stock would not
decline and derail the secondary offering. [The forgoing allegations are based on information
provided to counsel for lead plaintiffs by Source 1 who has personal knowledge of the information.]
66. By registration statement and prospectus filed with the SEC on November 3, 2000,
Carreker issued and sold 2 million shares of its common stock to the public at $17 per share for
proceeds of approximately $32 million. At the time of the secondary offering, the stock price was
trading at all-time highs. Capitalizing on the artificially inflated stock price, certain Carreker
directors and executive officers collectively sold 2.5 million previously restricted shares to the
public at $17 per share and, as a result of the underwriting banks’ exercise of an over-allotment
option, the directors and executive officers sold an additional 675,000 shares to the public on
November 14, 2000 at $22.38, for total proceeds of more than $55 million. Thus, the selling
stockholders received $55 million through the offering while the Company received $32 million
from the offering.
67. Denny Carreker sold 1,508,750 shares of Carreker common stock in the secondary
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 29 of 76
The 1,508,750 shares sold by Denny Carreker in the secondary offering included 236,250 shares sold on1
November 14, 2000 at $22.38 as a result of the underwriter exercising its over-allotment option.
The 919,375 shares sold by Denny Carreker in the secondary offering included 146,250 shares sold on2

68. As demonstrated by the chart below, in early 2000, when Denny Carreker decided
to have a secondary offering, Carreker’s stock price had finally returned to levels it had not traded
at since immediately after the Company’s initial public offering despite the reporting of consistent
record revenues and earnings. In fact, the secondary offering occurred when the price of the stock
was trading at all-time highs on the heels of Carreker’s announcement that it had met or exceeded
Wall Street analyst estimates for ten consecutive quarters. Within less than nine months from the
secondary offering, the stock price had returned to its old lows, as the Company – even after
improperly recognizing software license and implementation services revenue that had not yet been
earned – could not make up for the shortfall caused by a steep decline in demand for its consulting
services in 2001. [2001 Form 10-K.]
69. Dr. Hakala has concluded that, among other things, based on regression analyses of
Carreker’s share price’s response to key Company events, had Carreker properly accounted for the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 31 of 76
-28-
software licensing fees and implementation services fees prior to the secondary offering, the offering
price would have been significantly lower: “[H]ad the state of the financial condition of Carreker
been corrected the amount of shareholders equity would have been reduced a significant amount and
the secondary offering price would have been substantially reduced.” Dr. Hakala further recognized
that “the share price of Carreker suspiciously peaked around the time of the secondary offering.”

In the aggregate, Denny Carreker’s sons and brother sold approximately $4.5 million worth of
Carreker stock while the shares traded at artificially inflated prices as a results of the fraud
orchestrated by Denny Carreker. [The foregoing allegations are based on information obtained by
counsel for lead plaintiffs from Thomson Financial]
(d) Carreker’s Senior Vice President of InvestorRelations Has Been Indicted for Insider Trading
72. On December 4, 2001, the SEC filed a civil suit against Carreker’s Senior Vice
President of Investor Relations, George Matus, and his brother, Peter Matus, and alleged that George
Matus had advance knowledge of Carreker’s negative First Quarter of FY2001 earnings news and
participated in both the drafting of the press release announcing the negative news and the decision
as to when to release the news. Rather than maintain the confidentiality of the news and abstain
from trading in Carreker stock, however, George Matus conveyed the confidential negative
information to his brother and transferred $50,000 to him in order to trade in Carreker securities and
profit from the non-public information. Under their plan, Peter Matus then used the funds to
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 33 of 76
-30-
purchase 750 Carreker put options, effectively betting that the price of Carreker shares would
decline once the negative news was made public. When Peter Matus sold the options a week later,
the price had declined more than 40%, netting the brothers a profit of $209,940. On June 24, 2002,
a final judgment was entered in the SEC’s case that ordered George and Peter Matus jointly and
severally to disgorge $209,940 in illegal trading profits plus $9,941 prejudgment interest on that
amount and assessed the maximum civil penalty under the Insider Trading Sanctions Act of
$629,820 against each defendant. Subsequently, on February 24, 2004, George and Peter Matus,
were indicted by a federal grand jury and charged with insider trading and securities fraud. [SEC
Litigation Release 18596, Feb. 25, 2004.]
B. PRE-CLASS PERIOD FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS
1. False First Quarter of FY1998 Financial Results
73. On June 3, 1998, Carreker issued a press release reporting revenues of $10.3 million
in the first quarter of 1998, a 36% increase over the year ago period. Net income was reported to
have risen to $360,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to $146,000, $0.01 per share, in the first
quarter of 1997. The Company also reported that revenue from software licenses increased 149.5%
from $1.3 million to $3.1 million, and revenue from software maintenance and implementation fees
increased 3.7% from $1.8 million to $1.9 million. According to defendant Gage:
We started the year strongly, hitting or exceeding all of our financial and operationalgoals, and specifically expanding software sales. The net proceeds from our MayIPO significantly improved our balance sheet and provided us with the financialfoundation to execute our long-term growth strategy.
Carreker’s false First Quarter of FY1998 financial results were published in its Form 10-Q signed
by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on July 2, 1998.
74. As a practice, Denny Carreker, Gage, and Antinori, among others, would review
Carreker’s earnings press releases before they were issued to the market. [The foregoing allegation
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 34 of 76
-31-
is based on information provided by Source 3.]
75. The First Quarter of FY1998 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶83 below.
2. False Second Quarter of FY1998 Financial Results
76. On August 27, 1998, Carreker issued a press release reporting purportedly “record”
Second Quarter of FY1998 financial results. The Company reported that revenue increased 25.7%
to $13.7 million, compared with revenue of $10.9 million in the second quarter of 1997, and that net
income was $1.7 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share, in the
prior year quarter. Carreker also reported that revenue from software licenses increased 226.7% to
$3.8 million from $1.2 million, and revenue from software maintenance and implementation fees
increased 52.8% to $3.1 million from $2.0 million. Carreker’s false Second Quarter of FY1998
financial figures were included in Carreker’s Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and
filed with the SEC on September 14, 1998.
77. The Second Quarter of FY1998 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶83 below.
3. False Third Quarter of FY1998 Financial Results
78. On November 24, 1998, Carreker issued a press release reporting “record” Third
Quarter of FY1998 financial results. The Company also reported that revenue increased 28% to
$13.9 million, compared with revenue of $10.8 million in the Third Quarter of FY1997, and that net
income increased 108.2% in the quarter to $1.7 million, or $.10 per share, compared to $809,000,
or $.06 per share, in the prior year quarter. Carreker Further reported that revenue from software
licenses increased 21.7% to $3.6 million from $3 million and revenue from software implementation
fees increased 107.1% to $1.9 million from $936,000. Earnings for the Third Quarter of FY1998
met the average analysts’ estimate. Carreker’s false Third Quarter of FY1998 financial figures were
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 35 of 76
-32-
included in its Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on December
15, 1998.
79. The Third Quarter of FY1998 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶83 below.
80. On December 22, 1998, BancBoston Robertson Stephens issued a report
recommending that investors “buy” Carreker common stock because the Company “can
conservatively grow revenues and earnings at 25% or more per annum over the foreseeable future.”
BancBoston Robertson Stephens’ report was based on Carreker’s false and misleading reported
financial results. Carreker common stock closed at $5.44 on December 22, 1998, up more than 14%
from the closing price of $4.75 on the prior day.
81. In January 1999, Carreker acquired Genisys Operations, Inc. in exchange for 1.24
million shares of Carreker common stock. The acquisition using artificially inflated stock enabled
Carreker to add to its product line and increase sales.
4. False Fourth Quarter and FY1998 Financial Results
82. On March 22, 1999, Carreker issued a press release announcing “record” Fourth
Quarter and FY1998 financial results. The Company reported that revenues for the Fourth Quarter
of FY1998 increased 28.7% to $15.2 million compared to $11.8 million for the same period in
FY1997, and that net income for the Fourth Quarter “doubled” to $1.4 million, or $.08 per share,
compared to net income of $763,000, or $.05 per share, in FY1997. For FY1998, the Company
reported that revenues increased 28.6% to $55.0 million from $42.8 million in FY1997, and net
income increased 72.1% to $5.2 million, or $0.30 per share, from $3.0 million, or $0.21 per share,
in FY1997. The Company highlighted that in FY1998 revenues from software licenses increased
to $16.3 million, compared to $11.2 million in FY1997, and that revenues from software
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 36 of 76
-33-
implementation fees increased to $6.6 million, compared to $4.1 million in FY1997. Denny
Carreker commented on the seemingly impressive results, stating in pertinent part that, “[w]e are
confident in our business model and in our ability to continue delivering this type of consistent and
profitable growth.” Carreker’s false Fourth Quarter and FY1998 financial figures were included in
its Form 10-K signed by, among others, Denny Carreker, Antinori and Gage and filed with the SEC
on April 28, 1999. In the Form 10-K, Carreker also made the following false and misleading
statements concerning its accounting methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification
or customization of software was required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a
percentage of completion basis; and (2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as
the services were performed.
83. The Fourth Quarter and FY1998 press release and Form 10-K were false and
misleading because:
(A) As described in detail in Part IV-A-3 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
software license contracts that required “significant production, modification, or customization” and
for which implementation services were necessary to the software’s functionality in the fiscal
quarter of delivery rather than as the implementations services were performed in violation of
GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software
licenses. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of software license revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(B) As described in detail in Part IV-A-4 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
implementation services that were necessary to the functionality of software before the services were
performed in violation of GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of
revenue from implementation services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 37 of 76
-34-
practice resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing implementation service revenue which
in turn led to significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class
period;
(C) As described in detail in Part IV-A-5 above, Carreker recorded in fiscal
quarters revenue from software contracts that were not fully-executed – and for which “evidence
of an arrangement” did not exist – until a subsequent quarter, in violation of GAAP. This practice
resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software licenses and implementation
services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing software license and implementation service revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(D) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company’s total revenue and revenue from software licenses for FY1998 were overstated by more
than 8% and 31%, respectively;
(E) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company’s net income and earnings per share for FY1998 were overstated by more than 109% and
114%, respectively;
(F) Carreker was not experiencing the level of sales and earnings growth it touted
to investors. Carreker touted that earnings grew 43% in FY1998, however, based on the restated
results published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, earnings declined 33% in FY1998 from
FY1997. Carreker also touted that software license revenue and total revenue grew 45% and 29%,
respectively. However, based on the restated results published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K,
software license revenue and total revenue grew only 11% and 18%, respectively, in FY1998 from
FY1997.
84. Carreker restated its FY1998 financial results in its FY2002 10-K. Carreker’s
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 38 of 76

As part of the restatement of all of its financial statements dating back to FY1998, Carreker adjusted
the method it used to account for out-of-pocket reimbursements. [FY2002 Form 10-K.] Inasmuch
as out-of-pocket reimbursements are unrelated to the revenue improprieties alleged herein and the
inclusion of revenue newly classified as such distorts the comparison of the figures reported to
investors in FY1998 against restated total revenues, the newly classified revenue has been excluded
from this comparison.
5. False First Quarter of FY1999 Financial Results
85. On May 18, 1999, Carreker issued a press release announcing “record” First Quarter
of FY1999 financial results. The Company reported that revenues for the First Quarter increased
32.5% to $14.5 million, compared to revenues of $10.9 million for the same period in 1998. The
Company touted that, for “the third consecutive quarter,” it “more than doubled” net income,
resulting in $963,000, or $.05 per share compared to $383,000, or $.03 per share, in FY1998.
Carreker further reported that revenues from software licenses decreased to $3.1 million, compared
to $3.5 million in the First Quarter of FY1998, and revenue from software implementation fees
increased to $1.4 million, compared to $1.0 million in the First Quarter of FY1998. Earnings for
the First Quarter of FY1999 met the average analysts’ estimate. Carreker’s false financial figures
were reported in its First Quarter of FY1999 Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 39 of 76
-36-
filed with the SEC on June 14, 1999.
86. The First Quarter of 1999 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶92 below.
C. FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS DURING THE CLASS PERIOD
1. False Second Quarter of FY1999 Financial Results
87. On August 17, 1999, Carreker announced its Second Quarter of FY1999 financial
results, which it falsely asserted was the “6th Consecutive Record Quarter.” The Company reported
record quarterly revenue of $18.9 million, up 32.0% from $14.3 million in the prior year. The
Company further reported that net income increased 33.4% to $2.3 million, or $.12 per share,
compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $.10 per share, in FY1998. Carreker’s false Second
Quarter of FY1999 financial figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and
Gage and filed with the SEC on September 14, 1999.
88. The Second Quarter of FY1999 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶92 below.
2. False Third Quarter of FY1999 Financial Results
89. On November 30, 1999, Carreker announced its financial results for the Third
Quarter of FY1999, which it falsely asserted was the “7th Consecutive Record Quarter.” The
Company reported that revenue for the third quarter had increased 43.4% to a “record” $20.9
million, compared to revenue of $14.5 million for the same period in FY1998. Carreker further
reported that net income increased 21.7% to $2 million, or $.11 per share, compared to net income
of $1.7 million, or $.09 per share, in FY1998. Carreker’s false Third Quarter of FY1999 financial
figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC
on December 15, 1999.
90. The Third Quarter of FY1999 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 40 of 76
-37-
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶92 below.
3. False Fourth Quarter and FY1999 Financial Results
91. On March 7, 2000, Carreker announced its false Fourth Quarter and FY1999 financial
results. The Company falsely asserted that the Fourth Quarter constituted the “8th Consecutive
Record Quarter.” The Company reported that revenue for the Fourth Quarter increased 41.8% to
a “record” 21.6 million compared to revenue of $15.2 million in the Fourth Quarter of FY1998.
Carreker further reported that net income increased 85.8% to a “record” $2.6 million, or $0.14 per
share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $.07 per share, in FY1998. Carreker touted that
earnings per share grew 100%. With regard to its FY1999 financial results, the Company touted that
revenue rose 37.8% to a record $75.8 million, compared with revenue of $55 million for FY1998,
and that net income increased 52.6% to a “record” $7.9 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to
$5.2 million, or $0.30 per share, for FY1998. Carreker’s false Fourth Quarter and FY1999 financial
figures were included in its Form 10-K signed by, among others, Denny Carreker, Antinori and
Gage and filed with the SEC on May 1, 2000. In the Form 10-K, Carreker also made the following
false and misleading statements concerning its accounting methodology: (1) when “significant
production, modification or customization of software was required,” it accounted for revenue from
software licenses on a percentage of completion basis; and (2) it recognized revenue from
implementation service fees as the services were performed.
92. The Fourth Quarter and FY1999 earnings press release and Form 10-K were false
and misleading because:
(A) As described in detail in Part IV-A-3 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
software license contracts that required “significant production, modification, or customization” and
for which implementation services were necessary to the software’s functionality in the fiscal

-38-
GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software
licenses. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of software license revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(B) As described in detail in Part IV-A-4 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
implementation services that were necessary to the functionality of software before the services were
performed in violation of GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of
revenue from implementation services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this
practice resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing implementation service revenue which
in turn led to significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class
period;
(C) As described in detail in Part IV-A-5 above, Carreker recorded in fiscal
quarters revenue from software contracts that were not fully-executed – and for which “evidence
of an arrangement” did not exist – until a subsequent quarter, in violation of GAAP. This practice
resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software licenses and implementation
services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing software license and implementation service revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(D) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company’s net income and earnings per share for FY1999 were overstated by more than 1% and
2.44%, respectively; and
(E) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company was not experiencing the consecutive level of record earnings and revenue growth it
touted to investors.

93. Carreker restated its FY1999 financial results in its FY2002 Form 10-K. Carreker’s

As part of the restatement of all of its financial statements dating back to FY1998, Carreker adjusted
the method it used to account for out-of-pocket reimbursements. [FY2002 Form 10-K.] Inasmuch
as out-of-pocket reimbursements are unrelated to the revenue improprieties alleged herein and the
inclusion of revenue newly classified as such distorts the comparison of the figures reported to
investors in FY1999 against restated total revenues, the newly classified revenue has been excluded
from this comparison.
4. False First Quarter of FY2000 Financial Results
94. On May 25, 2000, Carreker announced its financial results for the First Quarter of
FY2000, which it falsely asserted “mark[ed] the ninth consecutive quarter of record financial
results.” The Company reported that revenue for the First Quarter of FY2000 increased a “record”
52.3% to $22.1 million compared to revenue of $14.5 million for the same period in FY1999, and
that net income increased 53.5% to a “record” $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net
income of $1.0 million, or $.05 per share, in FY1999. Carreker further reported that earnings per
share “climbed” 60% in the first quarter, and quarter-on-quarter software license revenue grew 48%.
Earnings for the first quarter of 2000 exceeded the average analysts’ estimate by $.01. According
to Denny Carreker:
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 43 of 76
-40-
We are extremely pleased to deliver once again record results to our stockholders.The powerful combination of revenue and net income growth resulted in watershedfirst quarter performance, and leaves us well positioned to continue our profitablegrowth in fiscal 2000. We are also excited to have been recently named by BusinessWeek Magazine as the 75th best "Hot Growth Company" out of 10,000 publiclytraded corporations.
Carreker’s false First Quarter of FY2000 financial figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed
by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on June 14, 2000.
95. The First Quarter of FY2000 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶105 below.
5. False Second Quarter of FY2000 Financial Results
96. On September 12, 2000, Carreker announced its financial results for the Second
Quarter of FY2000 in a press release entitled, “Carreker Corporation Announces Record Results;
Revenues Increase 52%, Profits Rise 51%, EPS Climbs 50%.” The Company falsely touted that,
“[f]or the 10th consecutive quarter, Carreker Corporation, a leading provider of integrated consulting
and software solutions, announced today significantly stronger earnings during the Second Quarter
of 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999.” Carreker reported that revenue for the Second
Quarter of FY2000 increased a “record” 52% to $28.7 million compared to revenue of $18.9 million
for the same period in FY1999. The Company further reported that net income increased to a
“record” $3.4 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to net income of $2.3 million or, $0.12 per
share, in FY1999. The Company touted that earnings per share exceeded analysts’ estimates by $.03
to $.04. According to Denny Carreker:
Revenues, profits and earnings per share for the second quarter of 2000 were thehighest in Carreker's history. We are pleased to have delivered record financialresults to our shareholders and to have met or exceeded analysts' expectations for10 consecutive quarters. . . .
Carreker’s false Second Quarter of FY2000 financial figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed
by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on September 14, 2000.
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 44 of 76
-41-
97. The Second Quarter of FY2000 press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶105 below.
98. On September 13, 2000, Robertson Stephens issued a report maintaining the firm’s
“buy” rating on Carreker common stock:
Carreker reported strong second quarter results yesterday, with earnings-per-share and revenue well ahead of our estimates. In light of the most recent results, weare raising our 2000 and 2001 revenue estimates. We recommend aggressivepurchase of the shares as the company is clearly demonstrating accelerating revenueand earnings-per-share growth, in our opinion.
Robertson Stephens’ report was based on Carreker’s false and misleading reported financial results.
After Robertson Stephens’ reiteration of a “buy” rating, Carreker common stock closed at $16.94
per share, which was an increase of nearly 20% over the closing price on the previous day of $14.13.
6. False Secondary Offering Prospectus
99. On November 3, 2000, Carreker filed with the SEC its prospectus for the secondary
stock offering which was signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and incorporated by reference the
FY1999 Form 10-K and the Forms 10-Q for the First and Second Quarters of FY2000. The
prospectus was false and misleading for the reasons provided in ¶92 above and ¶105 below.
7. False Third Quarter of FY2000 Financial Results
100. On December 5, 2000, Carreker announced purportedly “record” financial results for
the Third Quarter of FY2000. The Company asserted that the Third Quarter “marked the 11th
consecutive quarter that Carreker has reported increased quarter-over-quarter revenues and
earnings.” The Company reported that revenue for the Third Quarter increased to $28.8 million
compared to revenue of $20.9 million for the same period in FY1999, and that net income increased
to $3.7 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.11 per share, in
FY1999. Carreker further reported that earnings per share increased 73%, and revenue from
software licenses grew 112% in the third quarter. Moreover, the Company reported that earnings
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 45 of 76
-42-
per share exceeded analysts’ consensus estimates by $0.02. The press release also contained the
following false and misleading statements:
“We are extremely pleased to deliver once again record results to our stockholderswhile meeting or exceeding analysts' expectations for 11 consecutive quarters,” saidJ.D. “Denny” Carreker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. . . .
* * *The Forbes Magazine list of the 200 Best Small Companies in America rankedCarreker at No. 50. This represents a jump of 80 places for Carreker, which rankedNo. 130 in 1999. According to Forbes, several tough criteria are used to calculatea company's ranking, including five-year sales growth of at least 5% and fourconsecutive quarters of net income surpassing $1 million. The companies that madethis year's list averaged a five-year return on equity of 18.7%, a 12-month salesgrowth of 44.4% and 12-month EPS growth of 76.9%. Carreker was able to achievea top 50 ranking through superior performance in each category. As the magazinesays, “Those that make the final cut are truly gritty survivors.”
Carreker’s false Third Quarter of FY2000 financial figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed
by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on December 13, 2000. In the Form 10-Q,
Carreker also made the following false and misleading statements concerning its accounting
methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification or customization of software was
required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a percentage of completion basis; and
(2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as the services were performed.
101. The Third Quarter of FY2000 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶105 below.
102. Following Carreker’s announcement of its purportedly strong Third Quarter of
FY2000 financial results, Chase Hambrecht & Quist, Inc. issued an investment report on December
6, 2000, rating Carreker stock a “Buy.” More specifically, the report stated, “Given the co.’s
outstanding performance, its diverse growth opportunities, and the 30+% year-on-year bottom line
growth rate that we are projecting for CANI over the next two years, we believe CANI should trade
at 35x our 2001 EPS estimate of $0.88 or to roughly $32. Reiterate BUY.” On December 7, 2000,
Carreker stock closed at $29.19 per share, an increase of almost 22% over the closing price on
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 46 of 76
-43-
December 5, 2000 of $24.13. Chase Hambrecht & Quist’s report was based on Carreker’s false and
misleading reported financial results.
8. False Fourth Quarter and FY2000 Financial Results
103. On February 22, 2001, Carreker issued a press release reaffirming its guidance for
the Fourth Quarter and FY2000. The Company estimated that Fourth Quarter revenue would be
approximately $30.5 million and earnings per share would be approximately $0.22. The Company
also estimated that FY2000 revenues would be approximately $110 million and earnings per share
would be approximately $0.66. Revenue and earnings per share estimates of approximately $145
million and $0.88, respectively, were given for FY2001. The Company’s common stock closed at
$16.75 per share on February 22, 2001, an increase of more than 11% over the closing price of $15
on the prior day. The press release affirming Carreker’s Fourth Quarter and FY2000 financial
results were false and misleading for the reasons stated in ¶105 below.
104. On March 13, 2001, Carreker announced its purported “record” financial results for
the Fourth Quarter and FY2000. The Company touted that, “[f]or the 12th consecutive quarter,
Carreker . . . announced today significantly stronger earnings during the fourth quarter when
compared to the same period in fiscal 1999.” Carreker reported that revenue increased 43% to $30.8
million from $21.6 million for the same period in FY1999, and that net income increased to $5.0
million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted
share, in FY1999. Carreker further reported that earnings per share grew 57%. For FY2000,
revenue increased 45% to $110.3 million, net income increased 72% to $13.6 million, and earnings
per share grew 60% to $0.67. Earnings for the Fourth Quarter of FY2000 met the average analysts’
estimate, and earnings for FY2000 exceeded the average analysts’ estimate by $.01. The press
release also contained a misleading statement concerning the Company’s inclusion in several stock
indexes as well as its inclusion on Forbes list of “Best Small Companies”:
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 47 of 76
-44-
Increased market recognition and visibility. Carreker was added to the Standard &Poor Small Cap 600 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 3000 Index,raising the company's visibility in the professional investment community andproviding the opportunity to expand the company's shareholder base. Additionally,Forbes Magazine placed Carreker at No. 50 on its list of Best Small Companies,while BusinessWeek placed the company at No. 75 on its list of Hot GrowthCompanies.
Carreker’s false Fourth Quarter and FY2000 financial figures were included in its Form 10-K signed
by, among others, Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on April 30, 2001. In the Form
10-K, Carreker also made the following false and misleading statements concerning its accounting
methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification or customization of software was
required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a percentage of completion basis; and
(2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as the services were performed.
105. The Fourth Quarter and FY2000 earnings press release and Form 10-K were false
and misleading because:
(A) As described in detail in Part IV-A-3 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
software license contracts that required “significant production, modification, or customization” and
for which implementation services were necessary to the software’s functionality in the fiscal
quarter of delivery rather than as the implementations services were performed in violation of
GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software
licenses. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of software license revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(B) As described in detail in Part IV-A-4 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
implementation services that were necessary to the functionality of software before the services were
performed in violation of GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of
revenue from implementation services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 48 of 76
-45-
practice resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing implementation service revenue which
in turn led to significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class
period;
(C) As described in detail in Part IV-A-5 above, Carreker recorded in fiscal
quarters revenue from software contracts that were not fully-executed – and for which “evidence
of an arrangement” did not exist – until a subsequent quarter, in violation of GAAP. This practice
resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software licenses and implementation
services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing software license and implementation service revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(D) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 10-K, the
Company was not experiencing the consecutive level of record earnings and revenue growth it
touted to investors;
(E) Carreker’s inclusion in the Forbes list of the 200 Best Small Companies in
America, the Business Week list of “Hot Growth Companies”, and the Russell 2000, Russell 3000
and Standard & Poor’s Small Cap 600 Indices was only achieved through the fraudulent revenue
recognition practices alleged herein.
106. Carreker restated its FY2000 financial results in its FY2002 Form 10-K. Carreker’s
FY2000 financial results were overstated as follows:

As part of the restatement of all of its financial statements dating back to FY1998, Carreker adjusted
the method it used to account for out-of-pocket reimbursements. [FY2002 Form 10-K.] Inasmuch
as out-of-pocket reimbursements are unrelated to the revenue improprieties alleged herein and the
inclusion of revenue newly classified as such distorts the comparison of the figures reported to
investors in FY2000 against restated total revenues, the newly classified revenue has been excluded
from this comparison.
9. False First Quarter of FY2001 Financial Results
107. On May 22, 2001, Carreker issued a press release stating that it expected revenues
for FY2001 to meet prior guidance of $145 million, and that earnings per share would be $0.88. The
Company also stated that it expected revenues of approximately $25 million and earnings per share
of $0.06 in the First Quarter of FY2001.
108. On June 6, 2001, Carreker issued a press release announcing its First Quarter of
FY2001 financial results. The Company reported that revenues were $25.4 million and net income
was $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share. According to Denny Carreker:
For purposes of guidance for fiscal year 2001, we remain confident in our organic,previously stated, fiscal 2001 revenue guidance of approximately $145 million andearnings per share of approximately $0.88. With the closing of the Check Solutionsacquisition, we are adjusting our fiscal 2001 revenue guidance to $175 million andearnings per share to $0.95 excluding goodwill amortization and one-time, merger-related charges. This will result in approximately 59 percent revenue growth andapproximately 44 percent earnings per share growth over fiscal 2000.
For purposes of guidance for fiscal year 2002, we anticipate revenues of
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 50 of 76
-47-
approximately $245 million and earnings per share of approximately $1.33. Thistranslates to revenue growth of 40 percent and earnings per share growth of 40percent over revised forecasted fiscal 2001 levels.
Carreker’s false First Quarter of FY2001 financial figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed
by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on June 12, 2001. In the Form 10-Q, Carreker
also made the following false and misleading statements concerning its accounting methodology:
(1) when “significant production, modification or customization of software was required,” it
accounted for revenue from software licenses on a percentage of completion basis; and (2) it
recognized revenue from implementation service fees as the services were performed. After
Carreker reported its First Quarter of FY2001 financial results and guided investors that fiscal-year
earnings and revenue will exceed expectations, shares of the Company’s common stock leapt 34%
on June 7, 2001, closing at $15.04.
109. The First Quarter of FY2001 press release and Form 10-Q were false and misleading
for the reasons stated in ¶118 below.
10. False Second Quarter of FY2001 Financial Results
110. On August 7, 2001, Carreker issued a press release announcing that it was reducing
revenue and earnings guidance for the Second Quarter of FY2001. The Company stated that it
expected revenue for the Second Quarter to be below its prior guidance of $38 million by
approximately 12 to 13%. The Company also stated that it expected earnings per share for the
Second Quarter to be approximately $0.00 to $0.01 per share.
111. On August 27, 2001, The American Banker reported that Carreker was changing its
accounting policies after profits disappointed investors:
Though in the past the company based its guidance on software sales itexpected to close in a given quarter, it now will recognize deals only after they haveclosed and the company is receiving cash. This will spread out revenue recognitionover several quarters, instead of when the deal closes, "based on a signature whenthe client agrees to terms," Mr. Carreker said. This will improve "visibility" -- the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 51 of 76
-48-
guidance the company gives analysts about anticipated results, he said.
The company is also "pulling the bar down" and being "ultraconservative"on future revenues, he said.
Denny Carreker’s assertion that the Company was waiting until a deal closed “based on a signature”
to recognize revenue from software licenses was false and misleading. Carreker commonly
recognized revenue from software license contracts that were not fully-executed, and therefore not
“closed”, until after the end of the reporting period (see Part IV-A-5 above). In addition, the
statement that Carreker is “being ultraconservative on future revenues” was false based on the
Company’s restatement which shows that: (a) Carreker inflated FY2001 total revenues by 13.3%;
(b) Carreker inflated revenues from software licenses in FY2001 by more than 60%; and (c)
Carreker understated both its FY2001 net loss and earnings per share by more than 33%.
112. On September 20, 2001, Carreker issued a press release announcing its Second
Quarter of FY2001 financial results. The Company reported Second Quarter revenue of $33.9
million, and net losses of $11.6 million. Carreker’s false Second Quarter of FY2001 financial
figures were included in its Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC
on September 14, 2001. In the Form 10-Q, Carreker also made the following false and misleading
statements concerning its accounting methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification
or customization of software was required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a
percentage of completion basis; and (2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as
the services were performed.
113. The Second Quarter of FY2001 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶118 below.
11. False Third Quarter of FY2001 Financial Results
114. On December 4, 2001, Carreker issued a press release announcing its financial results
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 52 of 76
-49-
for the Third Quarter of FY2001. The Company reported revenue of $29.7 million and a net loss
of ($26.4) million, or ($1.21) per share. Carreker’s false Third Quarter of FY2001 financial figures
were included in its Form 10-Q signed by Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on
December 14, 2001. In the Form 10-Q, Carreker also made the following false and misleading
statements concerning its accounting methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification
or customization of software was required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a
percentage of completion basis; and (2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as
the services were performed.
115. The Third Quarter of FY2001 earnings press release and Form 10-Q were false and
misleading for the reasons stated in ¶118 below.
12. False Fourth Quarter and FY2001 Financial Results
116. On February 14, 2002, Carreker raised its revenue and earnings guidance for the
Fourth Quarter of FY2001. The Company said it expected revenue for the Fourth Quarter to be
above its prior guidance of $38 million by approximately 10%. The Company also stated that it
expected earnings per share for the Fourth Quarter to be approximately $0.01 to $0.03. After
Carreker increased its Fourth Quarter revenue and earnings guidance, shares of the Company’s
common stock jumped 18% to close at $5.93 on February 15, 2002.
117. On March 12, 2002, Carreker issued a press release announcing its Fourth Quarter
and FY2001 financial results. The Company reported revenue of $42.8 million and net income of
$1.1 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fourth quarter. For FY2001, the Company reported that
revenues were $131.7 million with a net loss of ($35.6) million, or ($1.63) per share. Carreker’s
false Fourth Quarter and FY2001 financial figures were included in its Form 10-K signed by, among
others, Denny Carreker and Gage and filed with the SEC on April 15, 2002. In the Form 10-K,
Carreker also made the following false and misleading statements concerning its accounting
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 53 of 76
-50-
methodology: (1) when “significant production, modification or customization of software was
required,” it accounted for revenue from software licenses on a percentage of completion basis; and
(2) it recognized revenue from implementation service fees as the services were performed.
Following Carreker’s release of its false Fourth Quarter and FY2001 financial results, the price of
Carreker common stock rose more than 10% closing at $9.03.
118. The Fourth Quarter and FY2001 earnings press release and Form 10-K were false
and misleading because:
(A) As described in detail in Part IV-A-3 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
software license contracts that required “significant production, modification, or customization” and
for which implementation services were necessary to the software’s functionality in the fiscal
quarter of delivery rather than as the implementations services were performed in violation of
GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software
licenses. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing substantial percentages of software license revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(B) As described in detail in Part IV-A-4 above, Carreker recorded revenue from
implementation services that were necessary to the functionality of software before the services were
performed in violation of GAAP. This practice resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of
revenue from implementation services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this
practice resulted in the Company prematurely recognizing implementation service revenue which
in turn led to significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class
period;
(C) As described in detail in Part IV-A-5 above, Carreker recorded in fiscal
quarters revenue from software contracts that were not fully-executed – and for which “evidence
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 54 of 76
-51-
of an arrangement” did not exist – until a subsequent quarter, in violation of GAAP. This practice
resulted in Carreker’s premature recognition of revenue from software licenses and implementation
services. In its FY2002 Form 10-K, Carreker admitted that this practice resulted in the Company
prematurely recognizing software license and implementation service revenue which in turn led to
significant overstatements of total revenue, net income and earnings during the class period;
(D) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company’s total revenue and revenue from software licenses for FY2001 were overstated by more
than 13.3% and 60%, respectively;
(E) Based on the restated figures published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, the
Company’s net income and earnings per share for FY2001 were overstated by more than 33%;
(F) Carreker was not experiencing the level of sales and earnings growth it touted
to investors. Carreker reported that earnings declined 343% in FY2001, however, based on the
restated results published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, earnings declined 464% in FY2001.
Carreker touted that software license revenue grew 123%. However, based on the restated results
published in Carreker’s FY2002 Form 10-K, software license revenue grew only 42% in FY2001.
119. Carreker restated its FY2001 financial results in its FY2002 Form 10-K. Carreker’s
FY2001 financial results were overstated as follows:

As part of the restatement of all of its financial statements dating back to FY1998, Carreker adjusted

-52-
the method it used to account for out-of-pocket reimbursements. [2002 Form 10-K.] Inasmuch as
out-of-pocket reimbursements are unrelated to the revenue improprieties alleged herein and the
inclusion of revenue newly classified as such distorts the comparison of the figures reported to
investors in FY2001 against restated total revenues, the newly classified revenue has been excluded
from this comparison.
13. False and Misleading Statements Made During SecondQuarter of FY2002 Investors Conference Call
120. During an analyst conference call held on September 12, 2002 following the
Company’s announcement of its false second quarter financial figures, Denny Carreker stated:
Let me open by confirming what you read in our September 4 news release.th
We want you to hold us to the highest standards of corporate governance andaccountability. We intend to be as clear as possible in our accounting and ourreporting to you, and we continue to be committed to embracing best practicesin the conduct of our business.
Denny Carreker’s statement was false and misleading because Carreker was not committed to
embracing best practices in the conduct of its business as demonstrated by Carreker’s fraudulent
revenue recognition practices alleged herein.
V. THE TRUTH EMERGES
121. On or about September 17, 2002, the “Committee of Concerned Carreker Employees”
(“CCCE”) sent a letter to the Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board of Directors (i.e., Donald L.
House, James L. Fischer, Richard R. Lee, and Ronald G. Steinhart) and sent a copy to the SEC Fort
Worth Office and the SEC’s Complaint Center in Washington, D.C. The letter states as follows:
The Committee of Concerned Carreker Employees represents employees whoshare substantial concerns over the management of Carreker Corporation and theoversight function of its Board of Directors, particularly, its Audit Committee. Thepurpose of this letter is to maintain a record of Carreker’s mismanagement, failureto comply with SEC disclosure requirements, illegal and fraudulent conduct of itsCEO and other officers of the Company, and the Board of Director’s knowledge andcomplicity with these actions.
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 56 of 76
-53-
Over the past several years, these matters have been brought to the attentionof several individual board members (both past and presently serving on the Board)and collectively to the Board as a whole. Through inaction, either by failing orrefusing to investigate or otherwise exercise your fiduciary responsibilities to carryout informed oversight of the Company’s management, you as Board members arecomplicit, and in some matters actively participated, in the reprehensible conductdescribed below.
This Committee has sought advice of counsel on their obligations to disclosethese violations of law to the SEC and the Department of Justice in light of recentlegislation by Congress. We have been advised that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act protectsdisclosure by employees in order to ensure accountability of the company’smanagement and board of directors. Indeed, we have been told that disclosure is anobligation in order to avoid complicit conduct. This letter records the disclosure ofthese illegal acts and once again strongly encourages you to act affirmatively in thedischarge of your fiduciary responsibilities to the Company’s employees and outsideshareholders even though you have failed to do so in the past.
With some amusement but mostly amassment at your audacity, we believethat the announcement of the formation of a “Corporate Governance Committee” asdisclosed by the Company’s press release dated September 4, 2002 is mere windowdressing in order for the board and CEO of Carreker Corp. to invoke the “EnronDirectors’ and CEO defense” of uninformed ignorance. Regardless of your“proactive”strategy, the board of directors of Carreker are responsible forinvestigating and eliminating the abuses and illegal conduct of the Company’s CEO.Unfortunately, we believe it highly unlikely that you are able to carry out yourresponsibilities to shareholders given the current configuration of Carreker’s boardin light of the fact that the board lacks independence from management (DennyCarreker) in all decisions and oversight concerning nomination of directors,appointments to board committees, integrity of accounting and revenue recognition,and management compensation.
Indeed, there apparently exists substantial conflicts of interest on the boardwith numerous board members preventing any “independent action” by the board.This certainly becomes apparent by the long time appointment of Denny Carreker’sbrother to the Board (James D. Carreker) who headed the audit committee beginning1997, and who continues to carry much influence over the audit committee’soversight of the company’s management and methods of recognizing revenue.Further conflict of interest are found by the long term appointments to the board ofDonald L. House (also Chairman of the Audit Committee) and David K. Sias, bothwho have been undisclosed paid consultant of the Company during their years asboard members. Finally, for over 20 years, Richard R. Lee (appointed to the Boardin 1984 by Denny Carreker) has also acted as an undisclosed paid consultant andadvisor to the CEO and his family being actively involved in their estatemanagement, trustee on various trusts holding substantial shares of Carreker stock,and investment advisor to Denny Carreker responsible for the management of hisCarreker Corporation and other stock holdings. Nepotism is actively invoked by the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 57 of 76
-54-
CEO through the appointment of his sons (John Carreker, EVP International, andBrent Carreker, Managing Principle) to key management positions and theemployment of relatives in part time positions. Several of these relatives to the CEOcollect pay checks bi-monthly from the Company while failing to keep any officehours of attendance or otherwise perform work for the Company as required by allother employees. The Board of Directors have passively condoned this conduct andfailed to properly report such conflicts of interest and nepotism to the SEC asrequired.
The Company’s CEO has consistently treated the Company as his own“piggy bank” at the expense of its employees and shareholders. The following is buta sample of those illegal acts through failure to disclose or fraudulent conduct andabuse of power carried out by Denny Carreker:
• Misappropriation of Funds – (a) weekly, Denny Carreker receives thousands ofCompany dollars in cash from Roxanne, a corporate accounting bookkeeper for theCompany and personal secretary to Denny Carreker. These payments of cashrepresent compensation to Mr. Carreker and he has never disclosed it to regulatorsas salary or other compensation even though required to do so. Mr. Carrekerrequired many employees to reduce their salaries in 2001 and 2002 because ofdeclining corporate revenues in order to reduce operating expenses. He evendisclosed in the Company Proxy Report the reduction of his salary when in fact hewas receiving these undisclosed cash payments; (b) also, Mr. Carreker has taken hiswife and other family members on lavish trips to many parts of Europe and Asiaunder the pretense of business, charging the entire expense off to the Company ascorporate business travel, including air fare, meals and hotel expenses, for his wifeConnie, when in fact, no business was conducted or remotely contemplated for thebenefit of the Company. Villas in France and a private yacht are just some of thenon-business excesses used by Mr. Carreker and his wife at Company expense.Further, the Company has repeatedly paid thousands of dollars for Denny Carreker’sfurniture, interior decorator consulting fees, and craft worker’s fees performingreconstruction work at his home in Highland Park at the demand and direction of hiswife, Connie. Again, this was not disclosed as compensation to Mr. Carreker asrequired; (c) Mr. Carreker has required the Company pay thousands of dollars for hisprivate club membership fees with the University Club and the Petroleum Club, butfails to disclose this to regulators, even though he uses these memberships forpersonal entertainment.
• Fraudulent Recognition of Company Revenues – Mr. Carreker and his CFO,Terry Gage, have fraudulently recognized revenue from company business andcontracts which they know violates GAAP rules and improperly inflatescorporate profits and corporate stock values with the intent to misleadinvestors. This has been conducted in many forms - backdating contracts;claiming revenue from contracts not yet signed by the client in the reportingperiod claimed, and the premature announcement of signed business when nosuch contract has been signed by the client through premature press releases;intentionally overestimating the percent of completion/installation of software
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 58 of 76
-55-
contracts in order to recognize revenue; overstating consulting fees when theclient disputes the value of consulting services received or the completion ofthese services. Some of the contracts include First Star, Chase Bank, FirstVirginia (revenue enhancement), Key Bank (software installation), Fleet Boston(risk management), and Mellon Bank (software). Through Bob Olson (EVP forMarketing) and Denny Carreker, employees have been encouraged orintimidated (through loss of employment) to lie and misrepresent to auditors thetrue status of these contracts as they relate to GAAP interpretation andapplication. Many employees have informed the Company’s audit committeeof these illegal acts apparently resulting in no action or investigation because ofthe lack of independence maintained there.
• Undisclosed Loans and Club Memberships – Denny Carreker has granted severalloans to employees without first seeking approval from the Board’s compensationcommittee. They include a $50,000 loan to Bob Olson (EVP) and several CountryClub membership fees paid by the Company for Mr. Olson, Brent Carreker, and JohnCarreker. These loans and club memberships were not reported as compensation forthese employees.
• Insider Trading – Mr. Carreker’s son Brent has openly bragged to companyemployees of his profits from insider trading of Carreker stock. Also, ConnieCarreker, the CEO’s wife, frequently shares and uses (herself) insider informationwith friends in her investment club involving Carreker stock. Again, she has openlybragged to employees of her gains. In fact, the impetus for George Matus (SVP -Investor Relations) to violate insider trading laws was the apparent ease andunaccountability with which Mr. Carreker’s family violates securities law. Finally,John Carreker has established off-shore bank accounts in the Grand Camen Islandsto evade detection from the SEC of utilizing insider information of the Company toillegally trade Carreker stock.
It is of further interest to employees of the Company that Mr. Carreker hasannounced that he will certify the completeness and accuracy of the financialdisclosure filings and materials made available to the investing public as required ofall public company CEO’s through recent legislation. Certainly by doing so, Mr.Carreker is once again violating securities law, but with one additional caveat - thatis that the Board of Directors, particularly the Audit Committee, is complicit withMr. Carreker in misleading and violating SEC regulations.
(Emphasis added). [Sep. 17, 2002 letter from the CCCE to the Audit Committee of Carreker’s Board
of Directors, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.]
122. According to a memo dated February 24, 2003 from the CCCE to counsel for a
plaintiff whose class action was subsequently consolidated into this case, the September 17, 2002
letter to the Audit Committee precipitated the internal investigation of Carreker’s improper revenue
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 59 of 76
-56-
recognition practices which led to the restatement of the Company’s financial statements dating back
4½ years to its initial public offering. The memo specifically provides:
Past and present employees of Carreker Corporation have formed CCCE forpurposes of setting the record straight as to the mismanagement, theft, fraud andmisrepresentation with the intent to deceive its shareholders actively carried out byCarreker Corporation’s CEO, Denny Carreker and other senior managementemployees, including the Board of Directors’ complicity with such illegal activity.The information being provided to you may assist the shareholders of Carreker whohave been damaged during the past five years from mismanagement and failure toproperly report revenues.
The letter attached to this fax was mailed to each member of the CarrekerCorporation’s Board of Directors Audit Committee shortly after Denny Carrekerissued a company press release on September 4, 2002, proudly proclaiming hisestablishment of a new governance committee to assist the Board of Directors inmaintaining appropriate corporate governance and reporting practices. Also, DennyCarreker fraudulently announced that he and the CFO, Terry Gage, would certify theaccuracy and completeness of all materials available by the Company forshareholders, investors and the public. The September 4 press release was designedth
by Denny Carreker to deceive and mislead investors and the public since he and theBoard of Directors knew that any certification would be false. The financialreporting of revenue since 1998 for the company has been inaccurate and in fact,there has been an ongoing conspiracy by Denny Carreker, the CFO and the Board ofDirectors to mislead and deceive the investing public as to the accuracy of revenuesas reported. This fraudulent conspiracy goes beyond “cooking the books” to otheracts of thefts, embezzlement, insider trading and fraud as further described in theattached letter.
CCCF’s September 17 letter caused the Board of Directors to resendth
[sic] Denny Carreker’s September 4 revenue certification pronouncement andth
initiate its own investigations into violations of the Company’s revenuerecognition and reporting obligations by management. Had this not occurred,Denny Carreker would have wilfully lied to the public again. The Board of Directorshired Akin & Gump to perform a cursory investigation intended to limit liability anddistance the Board members from Denny Carreker’s conspiracy. Curiously enough,Carreker’s Board did not retain the Company’s primary lead law firm, Locke, Liddell& Sapp, to investigate. The reason for this was Maury Purnell, a senior partner andnamesake of the Liddell firm, was appointed as Corporate Secretary from 1998 untilhis resignation in 2002, and was fully aware and took an active part in themisrepresentations by Denny Carreker, including failure to properly comply withreporting obligations of SEC Rules. The Board announced the results of itsinvestigation in January 2003, declaring the Company would restate its revenuebeginning as far back as 1998, but found no illegal or fraudulent conduct on the partof Denny Carreker and the company’s management. Nothing could be further fromthe truth. The Company’s attorneys from Akin & Gump performed the most
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 60 of 76
-57-
superficial investigation - many employees contacted by them refused to discuss withthem Mr. Carreker’s conspiracy over fear of Denny Carreker’s threats to sue themfor breach of the Company’s Non-Disclosure Agreement (for which each employeeis compelled to sign [as] a precondition to employment). Not surprisingly, the SECis conducting an active investigation into Carreker’s fraudulent conduct through itsFt. Worth office - agent David Peavler has been assigned to the case.
Several Directors were notified on many occasions by numerous employeesof the fraudulent revenue recognition violation by Denny Carreker but refused toinvestigate or act to prevent future violations by Denny Carreker and his seniormanagement. Specifically, James Fischer and Ron Antinori of the Board bothwere notified by employees in 1999 of several particular instances but refusedto investigate. Simply put, board members refused to carryout their fiduciaryresponsibility to shareholders by ensuring accurate and complete reporting of theCompany’s revenues because either they were actively conspiring with DennyCarreker to fraudulently report revenues or were too concerned for their own boardseat and interests to raise the issue with the entire Board of Directors. There hasbeen a long history of conflict of interest among board member’s private interestswith Denny Carreker and his family and their respective positions on the board,which has had a diminutive effect on corporate governance within the Company.The September 17 letter address many of these conflicts.th
CCCE is forwarding this information to you for the benefit of Carrekershareholders and employees who have been damaged by Denny Carreker’smismanagement of the Company. No person of CCCE has or will participate in thelawsuit for damages or stands to gain monetarily from these suits.

123. On December 10, 2002, Carreker shocked investors by disclosing in a Form 8-K filed
with the SEC that a Special Committee of independent Board members established by Carreker’s
Board of Directors was reviewing all of its previously reported financial results, principally focusing
on the timing of its recognition of revenues during prior periods. The Company further disclosed
that the review had uncovered timing issues that could cause some revenues to be shifted to the
subsequent sequential quarter. The Company cautioned investors that it believed it may be required
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 61 of 76
-58-
to restate its financial statements for prior periods and that its historical financial statements for prior
periods should not be relied upon. Finally, Carreker announced that it was postponing its earnings
release for the Third Quarter of FY2002. In response to this revelation, the price of Carreker
common stock plunged to $3.98 on December 10, 2002, a decline of 22.6% from the closing price
of $5.08 on the previous day.
124. On December 17, 2002, Carreker filed an 8-K report with the SEC disclosing that the
Company received notice that the SEC had commenced an informal inquiry into Carreker’s revenue
recognition practices.
125. On December 24, 2002, Carreker issued a press release announcing it received
notification from NASDAQ that its stock was subject to being delisted as a result of the delay in
filing its Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q.
126. On January 28, 2003, Carreker announced that its Special Committee had completed
its investigation, and that, the Company would be restating “its historical financials, primarily to
revise its accounting for licenses and certain service revenues, which will tend to spread the related
revenue over multiple periods, affecting both historical and future contracts. Carreker expects to
restate its financial results beginning with its 1998 fiscal year, and will present its financial results
for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002, as well as for future periods, on this basis.”
127. On February 24, 2003, Carreker announced that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel granted an exception for Carreker’s securities to continue to trade on The Nasdaq National
Market. The exception required Carreker to file its Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q and
FY2002 Form 10-K, and all other necessary restatements on or before April 30, 2003.
128. In the long-delayed Third Quarter of FY2002 Form 10-Q filed on April 30, 2003, the
Company restated its financial results for each of the quarters of FY2001 as well as the First and
Second Quarters of FY2002. In addition, in its Form 10-K for FY2002, which was also filed on
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 62 of 76
-59-
April 30, 2003, Carreker restated its financial results for FY1998, FY1999, FY2000, and FY2001.
In the FY2002 10-K, Carreker admitted that it had prematurely recognized revenue from software
licensing contracts in the period in which the software was delivered rather than the period in which
the contracts were fully-executed. The Company further admitted in the FY2002 10-K that
throughout the Class Period, it had misstated its revenues by prematurely recognizing revenues in
the period of delivery, rather than recognizing the license revenue and implementation revenue as
the implementation services were performed using the percentage of completion method. The
FY2002 10-K specifically stated, “the related license revenue and implementation revenue should
have been recognized as the services were performed using the percentage of completion method
rather than upon delivery of the software.”
VI. APPLICABILITY OF THE FRAUD-ON-THE-MARKET DOCTRINE
129. Plaintiffs will rely, in part, upon the presumption of reliance established by the fraud-
on-the-market doctrine, in that, among other things:
(A) Defendants made public misrepresentations and/or failed to disclose material
facts during the Class Period;
(B) The omissions and misrepresentations were material;
(C) Carreker common stock traded in an efficient market at all relevant times in
that: (i) the market rapidly reacted to and reflected all public information in the share price,
including but not limited to information regarding the financial condition of Carreker; (2) Carreker’s
trading volume and public float (shares available for ownership by the general public) was sufficient
to attract investor interest and analyst coverage [May 31, 2005 Declaration of Scott D. Hakala,
Ph.D., CFA at ¶6, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.];
(D) The misrepresentations alleged would tend to induce a reasonable investor
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 63 of 76
-60-
to misjudge the value of Carreker common stock; and
(E) Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class purchased Carreker
common stock between the time the defendants failed to disclose or misrepresented material facts
and the time the true facts were disclosed, without knowledge of the omitted or misrepresented facts.
130. Based upon the foregoing, Lead Plaintiffs and other members of the Class are entitled
to a presumption of reliance upon the integrity of the market for, at least, the purpose of class
certification, as well as for the ultimate proof of their claims on the merits. Lead Plaintiffs will also
rely, in part, upon the presumption of reliance related to a material omission.
131. The names and addresses of the record owners of the shares of Carreker common
stock purchased during the Class Period are available from Carreker and/or its transfer agent(s).
Notice can be provided to purchasers of Carreker common stock by a combination of published
notice and first class mail using techniques and forms of notice similar to those customarily used
in class actions arising under the federal securities laws.
VII. INAPPLICABILITY OF STATUTORY SAFE HARBOR
132. The statutory safe harbor provided for forward-looking statements under certain
circumstances does not apply to any of the allegedly false and misleading statements pleaded in this
Complaint. None of the allegedly false and misleading statements pleaded herein was a forward
looking statement nor were any statements identified as “forward-looking statements” when made.
To the extent that there were any forward-looking statements, there were no meaningful cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the purportedly forward-looking statements. Alternatively, to the extent that the statutory
safe harbor does apply to any forward-looking statements pleaded herein, defendants are liable for
those false forward-looking statements because at the time each of those forward-looking statements
was made, the speaker knew that the forward-looking statement was false and/or the forward-
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 64 of 76
-61-
looking statement was authorized and/or approved by an executive officer of Carreker who knew
that those statements were false when made.
VIII. UNDISCLOSED ADVERSE INFORMATION
133. The market for Carreker common stock was open, well-developed and efficient at
all relevant times. As a result of these materially false and misleading statements and failures to
disclose, Carreker common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period. The
artificial inflation continued until the time Carreker admitted that it was prematurely recognizing
revenues and these admissions were communicated to, and/or digested by, the securities markets.
Lead Plaintiffs and other members of the Class purchased or otherwise acquired Carreker common
stock relying upon the integrity of the market price of Carreker common stock and market
information relating to Carreker, and have suffered damages.
134. During the Class Period, defendants materially misled the investing public, thereby
inflating the price of Carreker common stock, by publicly issuing false and misleading statements
and omitting to disclose material facts necessary to make defendants’ statements, as set forth herein,
not false and misleading. These statements and omissions were materially false and misleading in
that they failed to disclose material adverse information and misrepresented the truth about the
Company, its business and operations.
135. At all relevant times, the material misrepresentations and omissions particularized
in this Complaint directly or proximately caused or were a substantial contributing cause of the
damages sustained by Lead Plaintiffs and other members of the Class. As described herein, during
the Class Period, defendants made or caused to be made a series of materially false or misleading
statements about Carreker’s business, prospects and operations. These material misstatements and
omissions had the effect of creating in the market an unrealistically positive assessment of Carreker
and its business, prospects and operations, thus causing the Company's common stock to be
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 65 of 76
-62-
overvalued and artificially inflated at all relevant times. Defendants’ materially false and misleading
statements during the Class Period resulted in Lead Plaintiffs and other members of the Class
purchasing the Company’s common stock at artificially inflated prices. After the market learned
that the statements were false and misleading the value of Carreker common stock dropped
significantly, causing the damages complained of herein.
IX. ADDITIONAL SCIENTER ALLEGATIONS
136. As alleged herein, defendants acted with scienter in that defendants knew or
recklessly disregarded that the public documents and statements, issued or disseminated by or in the
name of the Company were materially false and misleading; knew that such statements or
documents would be issued or disseminated to the investing public; and knowingly and substantially
participated or acquiesced in the issuance or dissemination of such statements or documents as
primary violators of the federal securities laws. As set forth elsewhere herein in detail, defendants,
by virtue of their receipt of information reflecting the true facts regarding Carreker and its business
practices, their control over and/or receipt of Carreker’s public misleading statements and/or their
associations with the Company which made them privy to confidential proprietary information
concerning Carreker, were active and culpable participants in the fraudulent scheme alleged herein.
Defendants knew and/or recklessly disregarded the falsity and misleading nature of the information
which they caused to be disseminated to the investing public. The ongoing fraudulent scheme
described in this complaint could not have been perpetrated over a substantial period of time, as has
occurred, without the knowledge and complicity of the personnel at the highest level of the
Company, including the Individual Defendants.
137. Examples of defendants’ knowledge, reckless disregard of facts, and/or complicity
in the fraudulent scheme alleged herein are found at Parts IV-A-3 to IV-A-5 above. The fact that
Carreker has restated its financial statements for 18 consecutive periods in itself is strong evidence
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 66 of 76
-63-
of fraudulent intent.
138. The Individual Defendants were motivated to engage in this aforesaid scheme to
inflate the price of Carreker common stock in order to:
(A) allow the Individual Defendants to reap substantial profits through the sale
of approximately 2.8 million shares of Carreker stock at artificially inflated prices for proceeds of
approximately $45 million. Individually, Denny Carreker sold more than 1.5 million shares netting
proceeds of approximately $26 million; Antinori sold more than 1.1 million shares for proceeds of
approximately $18.2 million; and Gage sold approximately 136,000 shares, or 77% of his holdings,
capturing proceeds of $800,000. In November 2000 when Carreker’s stock was trading at all-time
highs, Denny Carreker sold 1,508,750 shares, or 34.3% of his holdings, as part of the secondary
offering, capturing proceeds of more than $25.7 million. Similarly, Antinori sold 919,375 shares,
or 34.4% of his holdings, as part of the secondary stock offering, reaping proceeds of approximately
$15.7 million. The sales occurred in suspicious amounts at suspicious times and were calculated
to maximize profits (i.e. as part of the secondary offering which was conducted when Carreker’s
stock price traded at all-time highs shortly before the stock substantially revisited prior lows as result
of weaker 2001 financial results). Moreover, Denny Carreker’s brother and two sons netted
proceeds in excess of $4.4 million through open market sales while Carreker’s common stock was
artificially inflated;
(B) allow the Company to increase its product portfolio and boost revenues and
net income by acquiring Genisys Operation Inc. in January, 1999, using its inflated stock as
currency;
(C) enable the Company to increase its product portfolio and boost revenues and
net income by acquiring Check Solutions Co. in June, 2001, using cash obtained through the sale
of stock at artificially inflated prices in the secondary offering; and
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 67 of 76
-64-
(D) to assure banks that the Company was a viable company and that it would be
able to perform the required maintenance, customer support, and upgrades it software required –
prior to making large investments in software systems, banks scrutinized the financial performance
of prospective software vendors to ensure that the company would be in existence to provide
adequate servicing and support.
X. CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
139. Lead Plaintiffs bring this action as a class action pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure 23(a) and 23(b)(3) on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased Carreker common
stock during the period from July 30, 1999 through December 10, 2002 inclusive, and who were
damaged thereby. Excluded from the Class are: the defendants named herein; members of the
immediate families of the Individual Defendants; any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, officer, or director
of Defendant Carreker; any entity in which any excluded person has a controlling interest; and the
legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of any excluded person.
140. The members of the Class are so numerous that joinder of all members is
impracticable. While the exact number of Class members is unknown to Lead Plaintiffs at the
present time and can only be ascertained from books and records maintained by Carreker and/or its
agent(s), Lead Plaintiffs believe that there are, at a minimum, hundreds of members of the Class
located throughout the United States. Throughout the Class Period, Carreker had approximately 20
million shares of common stock outstanding, which were actively traded on the Nasdaq National
Market System in an efficient market.
141. Lead Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately represent and protect the interests of the
members of the Class. Lead Plaintiffs have retained counsel who are competent to conduct and
experienced in class action and securities litigation. Lead Plaintiffs intend to prosecute this action
vigorously. Lead Plaintiffs are members of the Class and do not have interests antagonistic to or
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 68 of 76
-65-
in conflict with the other members of the Class.
142. Lead Plaintiffs’ claims are typical of the claims of the members of the Class. Lead
Plaintiffs and all members of the Class purchased Carreker common stock during the Class Period
at artificially inflated prices and have sustained damages arising out of the same wrongful course
of conduct.
143. Common questions of law and fact exist as to all members of the Class and
predominate over any questions solely affecting individual members of the Class. Among the
questions of law and fact common to the Class are:
(A) Whether the federal securities laws were violated by defendants’ acts and
omissions as alleged herein;
(B) Whether defendants participated in and pursued the common course of
conduct and fraudulent scheme complained of herein;
(C) Whether the documents, reports, filings, releases and statements disseminated
to the investing public during the Class Period misrepresented material facts about the business,
performance, and prospects of Carreker;
(D) Whether defendants acted knowingly or recklessly in misrepresenting material
facts;
(E) Whether the market price of Carreker common stock during the Class Period
was artificially inflated due to the misrepresentations complained of herein; and
(F) Whether Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class have sustained
damages and, if so, the appropriate measure thereof.
144. A class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient
adjudication of this controversy since, among other things, joinder of all members of the Class is
impracticable. Furthermore, as the damages suffered by individual Class members may be relatively
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 69 of 76
-66-
small, the expense and burden of individual litigation make it virtually impossible for many Class
members individually to seek redress for the wrongful conduct alleged. Lead Plaintiffs do not
foresee any difficulty in the management of this litigation that would preclude its conduct as a class
action.
COUNT IAgainst the Individual Defendants and Carreker
for Violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
145. Lead Plaintiffs repeat and reallege each and every allegation contained in the
preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth in full herein.
146. This Count is asserted against the Individual Defendants and Carreker and is based
upon Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78j(b), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by the SEC.
147. During the Class Period, defendants, singly and in concert, directly or indirectly,
engaged in a common plan, scheme, and unlawful course of conduct pursuant to which they
knowingly or recklessly engaged in acts, transactions, practices, and courses of business which
operated as a fraud and deceit upon Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class, and made
various deceptive and untrue statements of material facts and omitted to state material facts
necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading to Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class. The purpose and effect
of the scheme, plan, and unlawful course of conduct was, among other things, to induce Lead
Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class to purchase Carreker common stock during the Class
Period at artificially inflated prices.
148. During the Class Period, defendants, pursuant to such scheme, plan, and unlawful
course of conduct, knowingly and recklessly issued, caused to be issued and participated in the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 70 of 76
-67-
preparation and issuance of deceptive and materially false and misleading statements to the investing
public which were contained in or omitted from various documents and other statements, as
particularized above.
149. Defendants each knew the facts set forth herein and intended to deceive Lead
Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class, or in the alternative, acted with reckless disregard for
the truth when they failed to ascertain and disclose or cause the disclosure of the true facts to Lead
Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class.
150. The facts alleged herein compel a strong inference that defendants made materially
false and misleading statements to the investing public with scienter, in that the defendants knew
that the public statements issued or disseminated in the name of the Company were materially false
and misleading; knew or recklessly disregarded that such statements would be issued or
disseminated to the investing public; and knowingly and substantially participated or acquiesced in
the issuance or dissemination of such statements as primary violations of the federal securities laws.
151. As a result of the dissemination of the false and misleading statements set forth
above, the market price of Carreker common stock was artificially inflated during the Class Period.
In ignorance of the false and misleading nature of the representations described above and the
deceptive and manipulative devices and contrivances employed by defendants, Lead Plaintiffs and
the other members of the Class relied to their detriment on the integrity of the market price of the
securities in purchasing Carreker common stock. Had Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the
Class known of the materially adverse information misrepresented or not disclosed by defendants,
they would not have purchased Carreker common stock at the artificially inflated prices that they
did.
152. As a result of the inflation of the prices of Carreker common stock during the Class
Period caused by defendants’ material misrepresentations and omissions, Lead Plaintiffs and the
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 71 of 76
-68-
other members of the Class have suffered substantial damages as a result of the wrongs alleged.
153. By reason of the foregoing, defendants violated the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder in that they:
(A) employed devices, schemes, and artifices to defraud;
(B) made untrue statements of material facts or omitted to state material facts
necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; and/or
(C) engaged in acts, practices, and a course of business which operated as a fraud
and deceit and a scheme to defraud upon Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class in
connection with their purchases of Carreker common stock during the Class Period.
154. In addition to the duties of full disclosure imposed on defendants as a result of their
making of affirmative statements and reports, or participation in the making of such statements and
reports to the investing public, defendants had a duty to promptly disseminate truthful information
that would be material to investors in compliance with the integrated disclosure provisions of the
SEC as embodied in SEC Regulation S-X (17 C.F.R. § 210.01 et. seq.), Regulation S-K (17 C.F.R.
§§ 229.10 et. seq.) and other SEC regulations, including accurate and truthful information with
respect to the Company’s operations, financial condition and earnings so that the market price of
the Company’s common stock would be based on truthful, complete and accurate information.
COUNT IIAgainst the Individual Defendants for
Violation of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
155. Lead Plaintiffs repeat and reallege each and every allegation contained in the
preceding paragraphs as if set forth fully herein.
156. The Individual Defendants, by virtue of their offices and specific acts described
above, were, at the time of the wrongs alleged herein, controlling persons of Carreker and all of its
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 72 of 76
-69-
responsible employees within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act.
157. The Individual Defendants had the power and influence and exercised the same to
cause Carreker’s employees to engage in the improper conduct and practices complained of herein,
and declined to exercise their authority to prevent Carreker and its employees from engaging in the
improper conduct and practices complained of herein.
158. By reason of the conduct alleged in Count I of the Complaint, the Individual
Defendants are liable for the aforesaid wrongful conduct, and are liable to Lead Plaintiffs and to the
other members of the Class for the substantial damages which they suffered in connection with their
purchases of Carreker common stock during the Class Period.
COUNT IIIViolation of Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act
Against Defendants Denny Carreker and Antinori
159. Lead Plaintiffs repeat and reallege each and every allegation contained above. This
claim is asserted against Defendants Denny Carreker and Ronald Antinori.
160. Defendants Denny Carreker and Antinori, by virtue of their positions as Carreker
Officers and Directors, had access to, and were in possession of, material non-public information
about Carreker at the time they sold more than 47% and 67% of their holdings, respectively, for
combined proceeds of more than $56.7 million during the Class Period.
161. By virtue of their participation in the scheme to defraud investors described herein
and their sales of stock while in possession of material non-public information about Carreker,
Defendants Denny Carreker and Antinori violated § 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and
applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
162. Defendant Denny Carreker’s sale of 1,272,500 shares, or 29% of his holdings, at $17
per share for proceeds of more than $20.4 million on November 3, 2000 and his sale of 236,250
shares at $22.38 per share for proceeds of approximately $5.3 million on November 14, 2000 were
Case 3:03-cv-00250 Document 94-1 Filed 06/13/2005 Page 73 of 76
-70-
made contemporaneously with plaintiff Heather Winett’s purchase of 1,500 shares of Carreker stock
on November 13, 2000.
163. Defendant Antinori’s sale of 773,125 shares, or 29% of his holdings, at $17 per share
for proceeds of more than $12.4 million on November 3, 2000 and his sale of 146,250 shares at
$22.38 per share for proceeds of approximately $3.3 million on November 14, 2000 were made
contemporaneously with plaintiff Heather Winett’s purchase of 1,500 shares of Carreker stock on
November 13, 2000.
164. Lead Plaintiffs and all other members of the Class who purchased shares of Carreker
stock contemporaneously with sales of Carreker stock by Defendants Denny Carreker and Antinori:
(a) have suffered substantial damages in that, in reliance on the integrity of the market, they paid
artificially inflated prices for Carreker stock as a result of the violations of § 10(b) and Rule 10b-5
herein; and (b) would not have purchased Carreker common stock at the prices they paid, or at all,
if they had been aware that the market prices had been artificially and falsely inflated by defendants’
misleading statements and concealment of material facts. At the time of the purchases by Lead
Plaintiff Heather Winett and Class Members, the fair market value of Carreker common stock was
substantially less than the price paid for the shares.
JURY DEMAND
Lead Plaintiffs demand a trial by jury on all issues.
WHEREFORE, Lead Plaintiffs pray for relief and judgment as follows:
(A) Determining that this action is a proper class action, certifying Lead Plaintiffs
as class representatives under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Lead Counsel
as class counsel;
(B) Awarding compensatory damages in favor of Lead Plaintiffs and the other
members of the Class against all defendants, jointly and severally, for all damages sustained as a

in Economics from the University of Minnesota .. I have earned the professional
designation of Chartered Financial Analyst, awarded by the Association for Investment
Management and Research. I have taught courses on asset pricing and market efficiency
at the doctorate (Ph.D .) level in a Ph .D. granting institution . In addition, I have served as
Declaration of Scof! D Hakaha , Ph,D., CPA I
a consultant and expert witness on numerous occasions regarding economic issues similar
to those in this litigation. I have been found qualified to testify on issues of materiality,
event studies, inflation per share and loss causation in securities litigation matters on a
number of occasions, including testifying (over the objections of the defendants) in In re
Clarent Securities Litigation in February 2005 before Judge Charles Breyer in the
Northern District of California .' A detailed summary of my qualifications, including
prior testimony and articles, is provided on the curriculum vitae attached hereto as
Exhibit A .
3 . The specific allegations in this case are very similar to allegations in In re,
Computer Associates Securities Litigation in the Eastern District of New York. I was an
expert assisting counsel for the plaintiffs in assessing materiality, inflation and damages
in the Computer Associates class action securities litigation. Computer Associates was
alleged to have engaged in improper accounting for software and related services
revenues in violation of generally accepted accounting principles in a manner similar to
Carreker (violations of SOP 97-2). t also have more recently assisted Mr. Kenneth
Feinberg and the United States government in developing a plan of allocation for a
restitution fund for purchasers of Computer Associates shares between January 20, 1998,
and May 14, 2002 . Thus, I am very familiar with the issues of materiality and share price
effects of the allegations set forth in this case .
1 In the past year, I have also been found qualified over objections of opposing parties in In Re RaytheonSecurities Litigation, District of Massachusetts, May 1 8, 2004, hearing ; In re 1 ceiera .co!n SecuritiesLitigation, District of Massachusetts, Memorandum issued on September 30, 2004 . In In re BroadeomSecurities Litigation, Central District of California, the court relied on my declaration in granting classcertification and the opposing counsel recently (this year) acknowledged my qualifications as to assessingmateriality, event studies and inflation per share in a reply brief, although contesting the admissibiEty ofaggregate damages estimates at trial.

Declaration of Scott D. Hakala , A.D., CPA 3
[IL Summary of the Analyses and Conclusions
6 . I found that the market for Carreker's common shares was efficient in that (as
illustrated in Exhibit B) t_he. market rapidly reacted to and reflected all public information
in the share price during the period from May 20, 1998 through December 10, 2002 At
all times, Carreker's trading volume4 and public float (shares available for ownership by
the general public) was sufficient to attract investor interest and analyst coverage .' The
event study (summarized in Exhibit B) found that the financial condition of Carreker was
of primary concern to investors and led to statistically significant increases and decreases
in the relative value of Carreker's share price throughout the period from May 20, 1998
through December 10, 2002. Thus, it is possible to develop a consistent model of
damages that may be used to estimate aggregate damages and to allocate damages across
individuals filing proofs of claim .
' i considered the efficient market factors outlined in Cammer v. Bioorn, 71 1 F. Supp . 1264 (D .N .J . 1989)
(See, also, the Order issued on September 30, 2004, in In re Xcolera .com) and found that: Carreker'strading volume, turnover and float. were sufficient to allow for active monitoring and trading of its shares ;
Carreker was adequately covered by analysts and news reports ; Carreker's SEC filings were timely during
the proposed Class Period; Carreker was registered for trading on a public exchange (NASDAQ NationalMarket) and able to register shares for trading ; and the event study illustrated an immediate reaction tomaterial news that significantly altered the mix of information .4 The daily trading volume in dollars from May 20, 1995 to December 10, 2032, was $3,536,246 .27 . Thedaily trading volume in dollars from the secondary offering on November 3, 2000 to December 10, 2002,
was $6,269,815.04 . This represented a significant rate of daily turnover of 1% to 3% over various timeperiods of the shares in the public float (shares held by non-affiliate and listed for public trading) . In myexperience with smaller capitalization stocks and in advising companies considering going public, anactively traded stock should have on average $100,000 in average daily volume on NASDAQ and aturnover rate of .5% per week ( .1% per day) to be considered actively traded .
The aggregate market value of Carreker's shares held by non-affiliates was $61,307,162 as of March 25,1999, $128,650,240 as of March 31, 2000, $343,542,306 as of March 31, 2001, S1174,064,535 as ofApril 5,2002, and $160,656,532 as of July 31, 2002, according to various Form 10-Ks filed by Carreker .Ordinarily, a public float of at least 2 million shares and market value of the float of $20 million issufficient to attract market maker interest and adequate coverage for an efficient market after an initialpublic offering .
Declaration of Seutt D. Hakala, Ph.D., CPA 4
7 . Recognition of software licensing fee revenue and software implementation fe e
revenue before that revenue was earned in violation of generally accepted accounting
principles (SOP 97-2) is material to investors and (as demonstrated in Exhibit fl) led to a
substantial distortion of the trends and valuation of the subject company throughout the
period from May 20, 1998 through December 10, 2002 . This led to a "roller coaster"
type of stock price chart whereby the shares of Carreker were substantially inflate d
during certain periods of time and less inflated in value at other periods of time, as shown
by the chart in Exhibit C.6 Eventually, revelation of the extent of the problems and the
true state of Carreker's financial condition, particularly in . the second half of 2002, led to
a significant loss in value for the shareholders of Carreker ,
8. I. also concluded that the misstatements in Carreker's financial reports were
material to investors .' Had Carreker properly stated its financial condition, my
preliminary event study analysis in Exhibit B finds that its share price would have been
materially reduced throughout the period from May 20, 1998 though December 10, 2002,
The share price of Carreker was particularly inflated in 1998 and early 1999 as result of
the premature recognition of software license fees in the fiscal year ended January 31,
1999. In that period of time, Carreker has indicated in published restatements that it
overstated revenues by 8 .22% and overstated its earnings and earnings per share by
Premature revenue recognition will lead to a roller coaster type of pattern for the stock price and inflationper share over an extended period of time . This type of improper accounting will often lead to substantialoverstatements of revenue and earnings in certain quarters and years, while in other quarters and yearsrevenues and earnings might be less than would have occurred had the company not prematurelyrecognized revenues in prior quarters . This was observed with respect to the improper accounting foundwith respect to Computer Associates in the second half of the 1990s through 2001 and is similar in,, this
case .1 See, for example, the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin : No. 99 - Maleriali ', Amending 17 CFR. Part 211,dated August 12, 1999 ,
Declaration of Scot I). UIakaM, Ph.D., CPA 5
109 .31% and 114 .29% . These amounts are considered substantial in valuation practice
and by any rule of thumb threshold for materiality ! Had the overstatement of revenues
and earnings been revealed ,, the share price of Carreker would have been substantially
reduced, as occurred on December 10, 2002, as shown in Exhibit B .
9 . W itlh respect to the secondary offering on November 3, 2000, the share price o f
Carreker suspiciously peaked around the time of the secondary offering . As
demonstrated in Exhibit B, had the state of the financial condition of Carreker been
corrected the amount of shareholders equity would have been reduced a significant
amount and the secondary offering price would have been substantially reduced as a
result of the lower shareholders' equity, the loss of credibility and the significant
reduction of earnings in prior periods . As shown in Exhibit C, the decline in Carreker's
share price between the secondary offering on November 3, 2000, and December 10,
2002 cannot be explained by market or industry forces or by alternative causes, The
cumulative abnormal loss (the portion of the loss not explained by market and industry
forces) realized by investors that purchased shares in the secondary offering as of
December 10, 2002, was 68.72% (even giving credit for the offering discount) . Thus,
significant losses are evident and cannot be explained away by alternative causes .
10. Similarly, the revenues and earnings in the, year ended January 31, 2002, wer e
materially inflated by 13 .34% and 33.29%, respectively, as indicated by the restatement s
ultimately provided by Carreker .9 As shown in Exhibit B, the failure of Carreker t o
$ Ibid .Ibid .
Declara tion of Scot D, fakala, Ph.D., CFA 6
continue to maintain the inflated revenues and ear ings in 2001 led to significant share
price declines of, 12.18% associated with the second quarter 2002 earnings
announcement on September 13, 2002; 29.41% associated with the revised guidance for
third quarter 2002 on November 14, 2002 ; and 24 .22% associated with the announcement
of a need to restate prior revenues and earnings on December 10, 2002 . In this sense, the,
true state of Carreker's business was revealed at the end of the proposed Class Period and
led to substantial declines in its relative share price of 57 .29% between September 12 and
December 10, 2002 . Furthermore, losses in value occurred over the following 90 days
after the end of the proposed Class Period .
11 . Exhibit C illustrates the extent of the decline in Carre er's value relative to a
Composite Index (composed of an industry and market index weighted based on the
event study) and an Industry Index . During the period from May 20, 1998 through
December 10, 2002, Carreker's share price was consistently greater than the price
predicted by either the Composite Index or the Industry Index for Carreker ."o
IV, Further Discussion
12. The event study summarized in Exhibit B is based on regression analyses of the
returns generated by Carreker's shares on a daily basis from May 20, 1998 through
December 10, 2003." The event study provided is preliminary . However, it doe s
o The prediction is made by starting with the Carreker's share price 90 days after December 10, 2002, andworking backwards in time adjusting for changes in each of the respective indices .
There are two primary event study methods, the cumulative abnormal return method and the integrate d
Dec1 rration of Scott D. Hakala, Ph .D., CFA 7
indicate that Carreker's share price moved significantly in response to the key events in
this case .
13 . The market model po rtion of the analysis is based on a market index, the Russel l
3000 Index (RAY) and an industry index (SUBINDEX) created based on an equally-
weighted geometric index from the returns of Electronic Data Systems Corporation
(EDS), CIBER Inc . (CBR), DST Systems, Inc . (DST), Computer Horizons Corp .
(CHRZ), Unisys Corporation (CMS), and The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (REY) .
This combination (the "Composite Index") provided the best fit in explaining the market
and industry components of Carreker's returns over the study period . Collectively, the
index could explain 5 .17% of the daily variance in Carreker's stock price returns during
the entire study period.
14 . The regressions summarized in Exhibit B were based on the daily returns i n
natural log transformation format, The event coefficients printed out in Exhibit B are
transformed into percentage terms for ease of reference . The t-statistics reported for the
industry and market indices are from the regression outputs . The market and industry
indices are significant at greater than the 99% confidence level. The t-statistics reported
for the various event dates are based on the standard errors reported from the regression
results in the regression. A t-statistic with an absolute value greater than 1 .00 is
method (also known as the intervention analysis or event parameter method) . The integrated approach ismore reliable and powerful than the cumulative abnormal return method, See, for example, Marais and
Schipper, "Chapter I7A: Event Study Methods: Detecting and Measuring the Security Price Efects ofDisclosures and Interventions," Litigation Services Handbook: The Role of the Financial Expert, 200 5
Cumulative Supplement. The integrated event study approach, especially with a large number of eventscontrolled for in the analysis, is performed over the period of interest and of ter . includes (as controls) the
period one year prior to the Class Period and one year after to Class Period, In this case, the study periodbegins with the initial public offering and concludes one year after the end of the proposed Cass Period .
Declaration of Scott 1_ Hakata , Ph .D., CPA 8
considered mean ingful (more probably than not that an event occurred ), 1 .65 is
considered weakly significant, 1 .96 is considered significant (in the standard sense), 2 .33
is considered highly significant and 3 .00 is considered extremely significant (an outlier) .
1 5 , Exhibit B demonstrates the substantial, immediate reaction to the earnings news
associated with the earnings announcements in the last three months at the end of th e
proposed Class Period, adjusting for the market and industry indices-
16. This is a preliminary event study analysis without the benefit of discovery. I may
perform additional analyses and review discovery . I, therefore, may amend and
supplement my conclusions based on subsequent analyses and discovery .
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Texas and the United
States that the foregoing is true and correct, If called as a witness I could and would
competently testify thereto .
