Electronic Clearing House Inc. on Wednesday said a portion of its business
and future results of operations will be affected by the recently passed
Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The company said it will
phase out any services related to check processing activities for Internet
gaming before the 270-day regulatory determination period expires. The loss
of revenue and net income, arising from these services, will have a
significant negative effect on the company's business and results of
operations in fiscal 2007, the provider of electronic payment processing
solutions said in a statement.
