RECENT EVENTS: DEREGISTRATION

The Registration Statement on Form S-2 (Registration No. 333-32823) (the “Registration Statement”) of Electronic Clearing House, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ECHO”), pertaining to the registration of 766,667 shares of common stock of ECHO, par value $0.01 per share (the “ECHO Common Stock”), to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 relates, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2003.

Intuit Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Intuit”), Elan Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Intuit (“Merger Sub”), and ECHO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 19, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would be merged with and into ECHO, ECHO would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intuit, and all outstanding shares of ECHO Common Stock would be converted into the right to receive $17.00 in cash (these actions are collectively referred to as the “Merger”).

On February 29, 2008, ECHO held a special meeting of stockholders at which the ECHO stockholders approved the Merger. The Merger became effective following the filing of Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on February 29, 2008 (the “Effective Time”).

As a result of the Merger, ECHO has terminated all offerings of ECHO Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by ECHO in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of ECHO Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, ECHO hereby removes from registration all shares of ECHO Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the Effective Time.
