Explanatory Note
          This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is filed by Wright Express Corporation (the “Company”) to amend the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 3, 2006 (“Original Filing”). The Company has concluded that Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”), the Company’s former corporate parent, incorrectly allocated the purchase price relating to Cendant’s 2001 acquisition of PHH and its subsidiaries (which at the time included Wright Express). Cendant’s February 22, 2005 divesture of Wright Express through an initial public offering gave rise to a change in the tax basis of the goodwill of the Company. During the course of the review of the initial goodwill allocation, the Company also reevaluated the accounting that was required at the time of the initial public offering, including the establishment of deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company concluded that such deferred income taxes had been recorded incorrectly and that such balances should be restated. As such, the Company has determined that it should restate (1) its previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and fiscal year 2005 and prior years to reflect additional goodwill of $138 million (net of 2001 amortization of approximately $3 million); and (2) its previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and fiscal year 2005 to lower deferred income taxes by approximately $110 million. Correcting these errors results in an increase in both goodwill and stockholders’ equity and a decrease in deferred income taxes. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company determined that the restated goodwill was not impaired and there was no impact to earnings for 2002 through the quarter ended March 31, 2006. For the period prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 142, approximately $3 million of additional goodwill amortization was charged to the Company’s 2001 earnings. The adjustment to deferred income taxes had no impact to earnings.
          This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends the following Items for the change in goodwill, stockholders’ equity and deferred income taxes:
    Item 1 (Financial Statements) to reflect changes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; to Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation;” Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” and Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
 
    Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) to reflect changes to Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows.
 
    Item 4 (Controls and Procedures) to reflect management’s updated evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
          No other significant changes have been made to the Original Filing except:
    the items previously listed;
 
    the updating throughout this report of internal references to this report from references to Form 10-K to references to Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q to Form 10-Q/A; and
 
    the renumbering of certain pages of this report.
          This amendment is not intended to update other information presented in the Original Filing. As a result of this amendment, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits to the Original Filing, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A.

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
          Wright Express Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” the “company” or “Wright Express”) is a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the vehicle fleet industry. We utilize our wholly owned bank subsidiary, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”), a Utah-chartered industrial bank that is regulated, supervised and regularly examined by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers.
          The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the SEC on November 20, 2006.
          In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly results of the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any future interim period.
          Our results of operations and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2005 through February 22, 2005, which are included in the amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statements of income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as the results for the three months ended March 31, 2005, reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the business unit divested by Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”), our former parent company, in the initial public offering (“IPO”). As a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005, may not necessarily reflect our results of operations and cash flows in the future or what our results of operations and cash flows would have been had we been a stand-alone public company during this period. See Note 7, “Related Parties,” for a more detailed description of transactions with our former parent company.

     Restatement
 
The Company has restated its financial statements to include an additional $137,814 of goodwill (net of 2001 amortization of approximately $2,932) which should have been allocated to the Company when it was acquired by Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”) in 2001. The total goodwill, as adjusted, has been assessed for impairment and the Company has determined that there has been no impairment since the 2001 acquisition.
 
Cendant’s February 22, 2005 divesture of Wright Express through an initial public offering gave rise to a change in the tax basis of the goodwill of the Company. During the course of the review of the initial goodwill allocation, the Company also reevaluated the accounting that was required at the time of the initial public offering, including the establishment of the deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company concluded that such deferred income taxes had been recorded incorrectly and that such balances should be restated. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements to decrease deferred income taxes by $109,940 ($54,413 for the original goodwill that was recorded and $55,527 for the additional restated goodwill noted above).
 
The restatement impacts deferred income taxes, goodwill, additional paid in capital and retained earnings in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The corrected goodwill would have been amortized from the date of acquisition until the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002. The correction does not have any impact on the Company’s reported earnings or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The following table presents previously reported and restated amounts by financial statement line item for the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

     Certain amounts have been reclassified in our condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation and the presentation in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company incorrectly reported changes in cash from deposits and borrowed federal funds as operating activities. In these condensed consolidated financial statements, this error has been corrected and the statement of cash flows properly report changes in cash related to deposits and borrowed federal funds as financing activities. This correction decreases cash flows from operations from $53,729 (as originally reported) and $37,391 and increases cash flows from financing activities from $(60,475) (as originally reported) to $(44,137) for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
2. Stock-based Compensation
          We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-based Payment,” on July 1, 2005, and chose to transition using the “modified prospective” method. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,” which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees be recognized in earnings based on their grant date fair values over the corresponding service period and also requires an estimation of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. We did not recognize any additional compensation cost associated with unvested share-based awards as a result of this adoption.
          Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), we accounted for stock-based compensation using the fair value method of accounting as proscribed by SFAS 123. We transitioned to SFAS 123 under the provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS 148 provided alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting. As a result, we expensed employee stock awards over their vesting periods based upon the fair value of the award on the date of the grant.
          Prior to February 22, 2005, Cendant granted stock options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to our employees. On February 22, 2005 we converted substantially all vested and unvested Cendant stock options into vested options to purchase our common stock. We recorded a one-time charge of $1,524 for this conversion during the three months ended March 31, 2005. This charge is included in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
          The table below summarizes the conversion-date fair value of stock options converted at February 22, 2005 and the assumptions used to calculate the conversion-date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
                     
 
        Weighted            
Weighted average   Weighted average   average   Weighted average   Weighted average   Weighted average

5.3 years   $13.72 per share   30.00%   3.38%   0.00%   $7.29 per share
                     
 
     Employee stock options granted by Cendant generally had a 10-year term, vested ratably over periods ranging from two to five years and were granted with exercise prices at then-current fair market value. All Cendant stock options converted to options to purchase our common stock have the remainder of their original lives, are fully

          Also on February 22, 2005, we converted all Cendant RSUs into shares of our common stock. We recorded a one-time charge associated with the conversion of Cendant RSUs into Wright Express common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2005, totaling $3,955. This charge has been included in salary and other personnel expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
          Under our stock-based compensation programs, we issued RSUs and Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) during the first three months of 2006 and RSUs during the first three months of 2005. The RSUs and PSUs vest over four years. The number of PSUs that will be received is based on year-end financial results and corporate objectives. The number of PSUs issued may vary from 0 percent to 200 percent, up to 126 shares at the weighted average grant price of $27.66 per share, depending on the achievement of corporate goals. The RSU activity under the 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan related to our employees consisted of:

          The following table presents the average interest rates for deposits and borrowed federal funds:
                 
   
    Three months ended March 31,  
       
       
    2006     2005  
 
               
 
Average interest rate:
               
Deposits
    4.25 %     2.82 %
Borrowed federal funds
    4.66 %     2.64 %
 
               
 
          We had federal funds lines of credit of $110,000 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The average rate on the outstanding lines of credit was 4.97 percent at March 31, 2006 and 4.35 percent at December 31, 2005.
6. Derivative Instruments
          We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices and to reduce the impact of interest rate volatility on earnings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Gains or losses related to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recognized currently in earnings. Our interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and, accordingly, the change in fair value associated with the effective portion of these derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if any, is reported currently in earnings. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings.
     Fuel Price Derivatives
          Our current derivative instruments are in the form of put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and the retail price of diesel fuel, which expire on a monthly basis through March 2008. The Options are intended to reduce the volatility that changes to retail fuel prices during any given month would have on our cash flows subject to fuel price variations.
          In January 2005, we entered into Options based on the then current market price of unleaded gasoline, which were to expire on a monthly basis through December 2006. The contracts that extended past March 2005 were terminated in January 2005 and resulted in a realized loss of $8,450.
          Realized losses on the Options totaled $6,052 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and $9,828 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The 2005 realized losses included the realized loss from termination of the original Options. We recognized unrealized losses of $1,426 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $34,374 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, for the change in fair value of the Options which has been recorded in net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Management intends to hold the Options until their scheduled expirations.

     Interest Rate Swaps
          In April 2005, we entered into two interest rate swaps (the “Swaps”) for the purpose of hedging the variability on a portion of the future interest payments on our variable rate debt instruments. The following table presents information about the Swaps:
         
   
       
 
     
 
Weighted average fixed base rate
    3.85 %
 
       
Aggregate notional amount of the Swaps:
       
For the period October 24, 2005 through April 23, 2006
  $ 120,000  
For the period April 24, 2006 through October 22, 2006
  $ 100,000  
For the period October 23, 2006 through April 23, 2007
  $ 80,000  
 
       
 
          Realized gains on the Swaps totaled $202 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and have been recorded in financing interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on the Swaps totaled $154 ($68 net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006. No ineffectiveness was reclassified into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Cendant provided information technology services, telecommunication services and internal audit services. Amounts paid to Cendant for related party transactions are reflected in the table above. As of February 22, 2005, Cendant was no longer a related party of Wright Express.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
     Litigation
          On October 14, 2003, Enron Corporation (“Enron”) filed preference and fraudulent transfer claims against FSC in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking the return of $2,779 paid to us prior to the Enron bankruptcy. Enron added additional claims for allegedly preferential transfers and sought an additional $526 by way of an amended complaint on December 1, 2003. We filed an answer on July 30, 2004 asserting various defenses. On March 31, 2006, the parties filed a joint motion seeking Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a settlement agreement, under which: (i) FSC would pay Enron $706; (ii) Enron would grant FSC, pursuant to section 502(h) of the United State Bankruptcy Code, an allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim in the fixed, liquidated amount of $706; and (iii) the parties would agree to mutually release all claims arising under Chapter 5 of the United States Bankruptcy Code that the parties have against each other. On April 27, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the settlement. We recorded an additional $226 in our provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to reflect the difference between our initial loss estimates and the settlement amount.
10. Tax receivable agreement
          As a Consequence of the Company’s separation from Cendant, the Company increased the tax basis of its tangible and intangible assets to their fair market value. This increase in tax basis allows the Company the ability to reduce the amount of future tax payments to the extent that the Company has future taxable income. As a result of the increase in tax basis, the Company is entitled to future tax benefits of $517,347. The Company is obligated, however, pursuant to its Tax Receivable Agreement with Cendant, to pay to Cendant, on an after-tax basis, 85% of the amount of the tax the Company saves for each tax period as a result of these increased tax benefits. The Company has recorded $424,277 for this obligation to Cendant as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In April 2006, we paid Cendant $4,700 in accordance with the Tax Receivable Agreement.

11. Segment Information
          Our chief decision maker evaluates the operating results of our reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined as net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, the loss related to the termination of the derivative contracts that extended past March 2005 (as discussed in Note 6, “Derivative Instruments”) and stock-based compensation costs related to the conversion and vesting of equity instruments in conjunction with our IPO (as discussed in Note 2, "Stock-based Compensation”). Our presentation of adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of the operating segments are generally the same as those describes in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Wright Express’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The following table presents our operating segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The Company has restated its previously issued Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2005 and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 as detailed in Note 1 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All affected amounts and period-to-period comparisons described herein have been restated.
We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005, the notes accompanying those financial statements as contained in our annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on November 20, 2006 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of this report.
Overview
          Wright Express is a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the vehicle fleet industry. We facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers. We provide fleets with detailed transaction data, analytical tools and purchase control capabilities. Our operations are organized as follows:
    Fleet — The fleet operating segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of the vehicle fleet industry. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers.
 
    MasterCard — The MasterCard operating segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. The MasterCard products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize our information management capabilities.
Highlights
    Total fuel transactions processed during the three months ended March 31, 2006, increased 11 percent from the same period last year to 58.1 million.
 
    Average number of vehicles serviced increased 10 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2006, over the same period last year to 4.3 million.
 
    Fuel price per gallon averaged $2.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared with $1.97 for the same period a year ago, an increase of 22 percent. Our average expenditure per fuel payment processing transaction increased to $48.63 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 25 percent from the same period last year primarily because of the higher fuel prices.
 
    Total MasterCard purchase volume grew to $269.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 5 percent from the comparable period a year ago. Excluding the loss of the Jackson Hewitt stored value card program, which terminated in 2005, total purchase volume was up 42 percent.
 
    Credit losses in our fleet operating segment were $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. We measure our credit loss performance by monitoring credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. Losses were 16.1 basis points of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 16.8 basis points for the same period last year.
 
    Our weighted average interest rate for operating debt increased from 2.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2005, to 4.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Results of Operations
Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
          Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, the loss related to the termination of the derivative contracts that extended past March 2005 and stock-based compensation costs related to the conversion and vesting of equity instruments in conjunction with our IPO.
          Although adjusted net income is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure is integral to our reporting and planning processes. We consider this measure integral because it eliminates the non-cash volatility associated with the derivative instruments. Wright Express believes that adjusted net income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our performance. However, because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income as used by Wright Express may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

NM – The result of the calculation is not meaningful.
          Payment processing transaction growth was predominantly driven by the increase in vehicles serviced. Increases in average expenditure per payment processing transaction were primarily a result of higher fuel prices over the first quarter of 2005. The positive impact of these key statistics on payment processing revenue was partially offset by 4 percent, compared to the prior year’s first quarter, primarily due to the renegotiation of pricing on long-term contracts with existing strategic relationships.

Table of Contents

          Transaction processing transactions decreased as a result of two strategic relationships converting approximately 750,000 transactions from transaction processing to payment processing in the first quarter of 2006.
          Finance fees increased primarily due to higher average daily accounts receivable balances subject to late fees. The higher balances result from an increase in payment processing transactions and an increase in the amount spent per transaction.
          Salary and other personnel expense decreased in the first quarter of 2006 primarily because of the non-recurring charge of $5.7 million associated with the issuance of common stock in exchange for Cendant restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for Cendant stock options held by our employees in 2005.
          Offsetting the decrease in salary and other personnel expense was a $0.5 million increase in commissions as a result of our growth in vehicles serviced and a $0.6 million increase for additional employees, primarily in the finance and legal departments, as part of the cost associated with our operating as a stand-alone, publicly traded company.
          Service fees increased primarily related to approximately $0.6 million in management consulting fees and professional service fees in connection with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance readiness and other management initiatives.
          The increase in the provision for credit losses was predominantly attributed to a $0.9 million increase in amounts charged-off for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in prior year. Total credit loss for the period as a percentage of total expenditures on payment processing transactions declined from 16.8 basis points during the first quarter 2005 to 16.1 basis points in 2006.
          Depreciation and amortization expense increased as anticipated as we placed our internally-developed software into service in 2005.
          Operating interest expense increased as we incurred fees to finance our receivables that pertain to our funded payment processing transactions. The increase in our interest expense is also due to an increase in weighted average interest rates to 4.3 percent from 2.8 percent in the same period in 2005. Our average debt balance the first three months of 2006 totaled $334 million, as compared to our average debt balance during the first three months of 2005 of $229 million. Changes in interest rates could create volatility to our operating interest expense.
          Finance interest expense is related to the corporate credit facility that was entered into in February 2005 and the preferred stock that we issued as part of our IPO. Interest expense for 2005 reflects approximately one month of expense as compared to three months of expense in 2006. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was an approximately 2 percent increase in the one-month LIBOR rate from the first quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006.
          We own fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments that we purchased on a periodic basis to manage the impact that volatility in fuel prices has on our cash flows. Our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Gains and losses on our fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments will affect our net income. Of the total losses, approximately $6.1 million in 2006 and $9.8 million in 2005 were net realized losses and approximately $1.4 million in 2006 and $34.4 million in 2005 represent unrealized losses.

     The increase in payment processing revenue is directly attributed to growth in our purchasing card product. The decrease in other revenue is a result of the loss of the Jackson Hewitt stored value program. For the first quarter of 2005, we reported $2.4 million of other revenue and $0.2 million of net income and adjusted net income related to the Jackson Hewitt stored value program. Excluding the loss of the Jackson Hewitt stored value program, which terminated in 2005, total purchase volume was up 42 percent.
     The decrease in service fees in the first quarter of 2006 versus 2005 is primarily attributed to the loss of $1.7 million of fees related to the stored value program offset by fees related to the growth in our purchasing card product.

     Net accounts receivable have increased as a result of our payment processing transaction growth and significantly higher fuel prices that increased our average expenditure per payment process transaction. As a result of our higher accounts receivable balance, accounts payable, deposits and borrowed federal funds have increased to fund this balance. Deposits at the end of the first quarter of 2006 decreased due to the timing of cash receipts at the end of 2005. These receipts became available to redeem our deposits during the first quarter of 2006.
     Our results for the first quarter of 2006 used approximately $26 million of cash. This amount was higher than the decrease of approximately $11 million for the same period a year ago. Cash provided by operations decreased period over period by approximately $25 million as we had received $45 million to settle our outstanding related party balances as part of the IPO. During the first quarter of 2006, we had a $15 million security mature which resulted in cash from investing activities of $12 million compared to cash used for investing activities of approximately $4 million for the same period a year ago. During the first quarter of 2006 we paid down $6.5 million in principal of our financing debt.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2006, approximately $3 million was used for capital expenditures primarily to enhance our product features and functionality and to acquire information systems and personal computer office equipment. This amount was consistent with capital expenditures during the same period a year ago.
     Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its property or assets, incur more indebtedness or make guarantees, grant or incur liens on its assets, make investments, loans, advances or acquisitions, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, enter into sales or leasebacks and change its accounting policies or reporting practices. FSC is not subject to certain of these restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions at March 31, 2006.
     Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Many accounting estimates and assumptions involved in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have a material impact on reported financial condition and operating performance and on the comparability of such reported information over different reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under varying assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We regard an accounting estimate or assumption underlying our financial statements to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and therefore a “critical accounting estimate” where:
    The nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and
 
    The impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.
   Reserve for Credit Losses
     Our reserve for credit losses is an estimate of the amounts currently recorded in gross accounts receivable that will ultimately not be collected. The reserve reduces the accounts receivable balances as reported in the financial statements to their net realizable value. Management estimates these reserves based on assumptions and other considerations, including a review of accounts receivable balances which become past due, past loss experience, customer payment patterns, current economic conditions, known fraud activity in the portfolio and industry averages.
     Management utilizes a model to calculate the level of the reserve for credit losses which includes such factors as:
    a six-month rolling average of actual charge-off experience;
 
    amounts currently due;
 
    the age of the balances; and
 
    estimated bankruptcy rates.
     In addition to the model, management uses their judgment to ensure that the reserve for credit losses that is established is reasonable and appropriate.
     Management believes the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate the reserve for credit losses are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the reserves, the resulting change could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, and in certain situations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
     The following table summarizes the impact that differences in estimated loss rates would have on the reserve for credit losses at March 31, 2006:

Income Taxes
     In calculating our effective tax rate we apportion income among various state tax jurisdictions. Although we believe that the estimates and judgments utilized to calculate the effective tax rate are reasonable, actual results may differ by a material amount.
     Significant judgment is required in determining if any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets is necessary. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. We have not currently recorded a valuation allowance based on the analysis and tax planning performed to date.
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. When used in this quarterly report, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or the performance by us to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers:
    Our revenues are largely dependent on fuel prices, which are prone to significant volatility.
 
    Our derivative instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss if we determine it necessary to unwind our position prior to the expiration of the contract.
 
    Our failure to respond to competitive pressures with reduced fees or increased levels of capabilities and services.
 
    Major oil companies who have not traditionally provided universally accepted transaction processing may issue competing products and information management services specifically tailored to their fleet customers.
 
    Our failure to maintain or renew key agreements could adversely affect the number of fleet customer relationships we maintain or the number of locations that accept our payment processing services. In this regard, our top five strategic relationships are two of the largest North American oil companies and three of the largest domestic fleet management companies.
 
    A decrease in demand for fuel as a result of a general downturn in the economic conditions in the United States or an increase in popularity of automobiles powered by alternative fuel sources, such as “hybrid” vehicle technology.
 
    Our failure to expand our technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as our competitors.
 
    Our failure to adequately assess and monitor credit risks of our customers could result in a significant increase in our bad debt expense.
 
    The actions of regulatory bodies, including bank regulators.
 
    Acts of terrorism, war, or civil disturbance.
 
    A decline in general economic conditions.
 
    Our ability to achieve earnings forecasts, which are generated based on projected volumes. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the projected level of fuel and service transactions.
 
    The uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the risk factors included in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there were no changes to accounting policies that had or are expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement is effective after the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial statements.
     In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 140.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective after the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We believe that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on our financial statements.

     We use derivative instruments to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices. We enter into put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which expire on a monthly basis according to the schedule below. The Options are intended to lock in a range of prices during any given quarter on a portion of our forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations. Our fuel-price risk management program is designed to purchase derivative instruments to manage the Company’s fuel-price-related earnings exposure going forward. We plan to continue locking in about 90 percent of our earnings exposure every quarter, on a rolling basis. The following table presents information about the Options as of March 31, 2006:
                         
   
            Weighted Average Price(c)  
    Percentage(a)     Floor     Ceiling  
 
For the period April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 (b)
    90 %   $ 1.88     $ 1.95  
For the period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007
    90 %   $ 2.29     $ 2.36  
For the period July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007
    90 %   $ 2.32     $ 2.39  
For the period October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007
    60 %   $ 2.34     $ 2.41  
For the period January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008
    30 %   $ 2.38     $ 2.44  
 
                       
 
 
(a)   Represents the percentage of the Company’s forecasted revenue subject to fuel price variations to which the Options pertain in 2006 and the percentage of the Company’s forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations to which the Options pertain in 2007 and beyond.
 
(b)   Options that expire during 2006 are based only on unleaded gasoline.
 
(c)   Weighted average price is the Company’s estimate of the retail price equivalent of the underlying strike price of the Options.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     In connection with the original filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     As a result of the errors and the related restatement discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our management, reevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in connection with filing this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. As a result of the material weakness discussed below, our management has concluded, based on their reevaluation, that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A present fairly, in all materials respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in conjunction with management, have determined that as of March 31, 2006 the Company has a material weakness relating to the controls over accounting for goodwill and related deferred income taxes. Specifically, the Company’s procedures did not operate effectively to detect certain errors in the computation of goodwill in 2001 and the related effects that the initial public offering in 2005 had on the tax treatment of such goodwill. As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is restating for these errors.
Remediation Status
     To remedy this material weakness, the Company has engaged additional resources to add an additional layer to the preparation and review of any similar transactions and strengthened internal resources with subject matter expertise. These changes either have been, or are in the process of being, implemented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
     Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company determined that it was necessary to restate these financial statements due to the goodwill and deferred income tax errors described above. As of the date of this filing the Company has, or is in the process of implementing changes to its internal control over the accounting for goodwill and the associated deferred income taxes subsequent to the period covered by this report. The Company will continue to assess these changes and will supplement them as necessary.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     On October 14, 2003, Enron Corporation (“Enron”) filed preference and fraudulent transfer claims against Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking the return of $2.8 million paid to us prior to the Enron bankruptcy. Enron added additional claims for allegedly preferential transfers and sought an additional $0.5 million by way of an amended complaint on December 1, 2003. We filed an answer on July 30, 2004 asserting various defenses. On March 31, 2006, the parties filed a joint motion seeking Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a settlement agreement, under which: (i) FSC would pay Enron $0.7 million; (ii) Enron would grant FSC, pursuant to section 502(h) of the United State Bankruptcy Code, an allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim in the fixed, liquidated amount of $0.7 million; and (iii) the parties would agree to mutually release all claims arising under Chapter 5 of the United States Bankruptcy Code that the parties have against each other. On April 27, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the settlement.
