Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.       Going Concern

         To date, the Company has generated operating losses, has experienced an
extremely  lengthy  sales cycle for its products and has been  required to use a
substantial  amount of existing cash  resources to fund its  operations.  If the
Company  continues to use cash at the rate used during 1999,  the Company  would
deplete its existing cash reserves in the second  quarter of 2000.  Although the
Company has taken  steps to reduce its  operating  expenses  and  believes  that
existing  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  internally   generated  funds  will  be
sufficient  to fund  operations  during  2000,  such  resources,  together  with
projected  revenues  that may be  received  under  existing  contracts,  will be
insufficient  to fund the  Company's  operations  in 2001 and beyond.  To remain
viable  after 2000,  the Company must  substantially  increase  revenues,  raise
additional capital and/or substantially reduce its operations.

         Management's   plan   includes   increased   sales  with  new  customer
relationships  established  during 1999 and in the first quarter of 2000,  sales
growth  through  deployment  of existing  product  offerings  to new  customers,
deployment  of  a  recently  developed  Internet  product,  and  continued  cost
curtailment.  In addition,  the Company  believes it is due significant  amounts
related to a  development  contract  and certain  other  amounts and is pursuing
collection  on these  balances.  The  Company  also has  several  patents  which
management  would  consider  selling,  if  necessary.  Additionally,  management
intends to continue  discussions  with  investment  bankers and venture  capital
firms regarding additional financing.

2.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited financial statements of Affinity Technology
Group,  Inc. (the  "Company")  have been prepared in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial  information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes  required by generally accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  The balance sheet at
December  31,  1999 has been  derived  from the audited  consolidated  financial
statements  at that  date,  but  does not  include  all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.

         The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) which, in the
opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the  periods  shown.  The  results  of  operations  for  such  periods  are  not
necessarily  indicative  of the  results  expected  for the full year or for any
future  period.  The  accompanying   financial  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the audited  consolidated  financial  statements of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         In accordance with management's  oversight of the Company's operations,
the  Company  conducts  its  business  within one  industry  segment - financial
services technology.

         Certain  amounts  in 1999 have been  reclassified  to  conform  to 2000
presentation  for  comparability.  These  reclassifications  have no  effect  on
previously reported stockholders' equity or net loss.

4.       Loan Warehousing Agreement

         Surety  Mortgage,  Inc.,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company
("Surety"), has a credit facility with a maximum borrowing amount of $2,000,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the credit  facility,  Surety may obtain  advances from
the  lender for  funding of  mortgage  loans made by Surety  during the  interim
period  between the funding and sale of the loans to  permanent  investors.  All
advances made  pursuant to the  agreement are secured by a security  interest in
the  rights  and  benefits  due  Surety in  conjunction  with the  making of the
underlying  loan. The credit  facility bears interest at the lender's prime rate
plus 50 basis  points  and  expires  on June 1,  2000.  There  were  outstanding
borrowings  under  the  Loan  Warehousing  Agreement  as of  March  31,  2000 of
$125,352.

5.       Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

         The Company has adopted Financial  Accounting Standards Board Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").
Net  loss  per  share  of  Common  Stock  amounts  presented  on the face of the
consolidated  statements of operations  have been computed based on the weighted
average  number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding  in accordance  with SFAS
128.  Stock  warrants and stock options were not included in the  calculation of
diluted loss per share because the Company has experienced  operating  losses in
all periods presented and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

6.       Commitments and Contingencies

         The  Company is subject to legal  actions  which from time to time have
arisen in the ordinary course of business.  In addition,  a claim was filed by a
plaintiff who claimed  certain rights,  damages and interests  incidental to the
Company's  formation and  development.  The claim  resulted in a jury verdict of
$68,000 in favor of the plaintiff and the plaintiff subsequently requested,  and
was granted,  a new trial.  The Company is  appealing  the grant of a new trial.
Additionally,  a former  employee  has filed suit  against the Company  alleging
breach of contract and  non-payment of wages.  The Company intends to vigorously
contest all such  actions  and, in the  opinion of  management,  the Company has
meritorious  defenses and the  resolution  of such  actions will not  materially
affect the financial position of the Company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
 of Operations

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         Statements  in  this  report  (including  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations)  that  are not
descriptions of historical  facts, such as statements about the Company's future
prospects and cash requirements,  may be forward-looking statements and are made
pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform  Act of 1995.  Actual  results  may vary due to risks and  uncertainties,
including  economic,   competitive  and  technological   factors  affecting  the
Company's  operations,  markets,  products,  services and prices,  unanticipated
costs and expenses  affecting  the  Company's  cash  position and other  factors
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
including the information set forth under the caption "Business Risks" in Item 1
of the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1999. These and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated.

Overview

         Since its formation in 1994, the Company has  concentrated  its product
development  efforts primarily on developing  "closed loop" electronic  commerce
systems  that enable  financial  institutions  to automate  the  processing  and
consummation  of  consumer  loans and other  financial  services at the point of
sale. This technology is designed to enable  financial  institutions to open new
distribution channels and link all distribution channels electronically to their
credit departments.

         Prior to 1998, the Company's primary products and services consisted of
the Affinity Automated Loan Machine ("ALM") and e-xpertLender.  The ALM captures
origination  information for loan  applications and then routes this information
to the Company's proprietary DeciSys/RT for an automated decision. e-xpertLender
connects  the   Company's   automated   decisioning   system  with  a  financial
institution's  delivery  channels  and its risk  management  group and gives the
consumer a choice of closing  methods that include  branches,  ALMs,  mail,  and
third party closing agents. During 1998 and 1999, the Company developed a system
to  process  and  automate   decisioning  of  automobile  loans  pursuant  to  a
development  contract  with the  indirect  automobile  finance  unit of The Dime
Savings  Bank of New  York  (formerly  the  Citibank  Indirect  Auto  Unit).  As
previously  announced by the Company, the Company has been informed by Dime that
they will not deploy the system,  and the  Company  has filed a lawsuit  against
Dime as a result of their  decision  not to deploy the  system.  The Company has
developed a generic  version of this  automobile loan processing and decisioning
system  to  be  sold,  under  the  brand  name  of  iDEAL,  to  other  financial
institutions. Also, during 1998 and 1999, the Company developed a version of its
ALM to capture and begin the processing of mortgage loan applications.  To date,
such ALMs have been deployed and operated by Surety Mortgage, Inc., a subsidiary
of the Company.  In  addition,  during 1999 and 2000,  the Company  developed an
Internet  product,  to be  marketed  under the name rtDS  ("real  time  Decision
Service"),  which is an outsourced service enabling lenders to deliver automated
decisions to web loan applicants in real-time.

         To date,  the Company has generated  substantial  operating  losses and
experienced  an extremely  lengthy  sales cycle for its  products and  services.
Average consumer use of ALMs and average rates of loan approvals have been lower
than customer expectations.  The Company believes that the ALM has not proven to
be a viable  channel for the delivery of consumer  loans and other products in a
fully  automated  manner.  Although the Company has  developed and is developing
other products and services to exploit its DeciSys/RT  technology,  to date such
products and services have not generated substantial  revenues,  and the Company
has been required to use a substantial amount of existing cash resources to fund
its  operations.   Although  the  Company  believes  that  existing  cash,  cash
equivalents and internally generated funds will be sufficient to fund operations
for the remainder of 2000, such resources, together with projected revenues that
may be received  under  existing  contracts,  will be  insufficient  to fund the
Company's  operations  in 2001 and beyond.  To remain  viable  after  2000,  the
Company must substantially  increase  revenues,  raise additional capital and/or
substantially reduce its operations. No assurances can be given that the Company
will be able to increase its revenues,  raise  additional  capital or reduce its
operations in a manner that allows it to continue operations in 2001 and beyond.

         To date,  the Company has generated  minimal  operating  revenues,  has
incurred  significant losses and has experienced  substantial negative cash flow
from  operations.  The  Company's  prospects  must be considered in light of the
risks,  expenses and difficulties  frequently  encountered by companies in their
early stage of development, particularly technology-based companies operating in
unproven markets with unproven products.  The Company had an accumulated deficit
as of March 31, 2000 of $56,884,343.  The Company  expects to incur  substantial
additional costs to develop its financial product origination  capabilities,  to
enhance and market iDEAL,  e-xpertLender,  the ALM and Decisys/RT and to develop
any new products and services.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that the
Company will ever be able to achieve profitability or, if achieved, sustain such
profitability.

         The market for the Company's products and services is new, evolving and
uncertain,  and it is  difficult  to  determine  the size and predict the future
growth rate,  if any, of this market.  In addition,  the market for products and
services that enable electronic commerce is highly competitive and is subject to
rapid innovation and competition  from traditional  products and services having
all or some of the same  features as products and services  enabling  electronic
commerce.  Competitors in this market have frequently taken different  strategic
approaches  and have launched  substantially  different  products or services in
order to exploit the same  perceived  market  opportunity.  Until the market has
validated a strategy through widespread  acceptance of a product or service,  it
is difficult to identify all current or potential  market  participants or gauge
their relative competitive position.

Results of Operations

Revenues

         The  Company's  revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$353,117 compared to $325,959 for the corresponding period of 1999.

         Transaction fees.  Revenues from transaction fees were $161,796 for the
three months ended March 31,  2000,  compared to $123,546 for the  corresponding
period in 1999.  The increase  during the three months ended March 31, 2000,  as
compared to the same period in 1999 is attributable to an increase in the number
of financial service applications processed using DeciSys/RT.

         Mortgage Processing  Services.  Mortgage processing services represents
fees earned by Surety Mortgage,  Inc. ("Surety"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
the Company,  for  originating  and  processing  mortgage  loans.  Revenues from
mortgage  processing  services were $73,861 for the three months ended March 31,
2000,  compared to $113,399 for the  corresponding  period in 1999. The decrease
during the three months ended March 31, 2000,  as compared to the same period in
1999 is  attributable to a decrease in the number of mortgage loans processed by
Surety.

         Professional  Services.  During the three  months ended March 31, 2000,
the Company  recognized  revenue associated with the performance of professional
services for one customer. No professional service revenue was recognized in the
comparable period of 1999.

         Patent license  revenue.  During the three months ended March 31, 2000,
the Company recognized $25,000 associated with one patent license agreement.  No
patent license revenue was recognized in the comparable period of 1999.

Costs and Expenses

         Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2000 was $111,327,  compared to $169,828 for the  corresponding  period in 1999.
The decrease  during the three  months ended March 31, 2000,  as compared to the
same period in 1999 is  attributable  to reduced  maintenance  and  depreciation
expense associated with fewer ALMs in service under operating leases in 2000 and
a decrease in the direct costs associated with processing  mortgage loans due to
a decrease in the quantity of mortgage loans processed by Surety.

         Research and  Development.  Costs incurred for research and development
for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  totaled  $329,933,  compared  to
$299,125  for the  corresponding  period in 1999.  The  increase in research and
development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999 is attributable  to less deferred costs  associated with specific
professional  services contracts in 2000 compared to 1999. Costs associated with
the  performance of  professional  services are deferred until the  professional
services  are  completed  by the Company  and  accepted  by the  customer.  Upon
acceptance by the customer,  the  corresponding  revenue and deferred  costs are
recognized  by the  Company.  Generally,  the  Company has reduced the number of
employees  involved in research and  development  activities in 2000 compared to
1999.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses totaled $1,772,890 for the three months ended March 31,
2000,  as compared  to  $2,431,682  for the  corresponding  period in 1999.  The
decrease  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  as  compared  to the
corresponding  period  of  1999  is  primarily  attributable  to a  decrease  in
employment and related costs associated with an overall  reduction in the number
of employees. In January of 2000 the Company reduced its employee base by 47%.

         Interest  Income/Expense.  Interest  income for the three  months ended
March 31, 2000,  totaled $49,874,  as compared to $122,327 for the corresponding
period in 1999. The decrease in interest income for the three months ended March
31,  2000,  is due to a decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  and  investments
balances as compared to the same period of 1999  coupled  with a decrease in the
amount of  amortization of deferred  interest income  associated with ALMs under
sales-type lease  agreements.  Interest expense for the three months ended March
31, 1999,  was $1,362.  The Company  incurred no interest  expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company has generated  operating  losses of  $56,884,343  since its
inception and has financed its  operations  primarily  through net proceeds from
its initial public offering in May 1996.  Prior to the Company's  initial public
offering,  the Company's  operations  were financed  through the private sale of
debt and equity securities, capital lease obligations, bank financing, factoring
of ALM  rental  contracts,  and loans from  affiliates.  Net  proceeds  from the
Company's initial public offering were $60,088,516.

         The Company  continues  to use a  substantial  amount of existing  cash
resources to fund its operations. If the Company continued to use cash resources
at the rate used in 1999,  the Company would deplete its existing cash resources
in the middle part of 2000;  however,  the Company has taken certain measures to
reduce its cash  depletion  rate,  including  decreasing  its employee base. The
Company believes existing cash, cash equivalents and internally  generated funds
will be sufficient to meet the Company's currently anticipated cash requirements
through  2000.  However no assurances  can be given that the Company's  existing
cash resources will be sufficient to fund the Company's  cash  requirements  for
2000.  Moreover,  existing cash  resources  and  projected  revenues that may be
received under existing  contracts  will be  insufficient  to fund the Company's
operations in 2001 and thereafter. Accordingly, to remain viable after 2000, the
Company must substantially  increase  revenues,  raise additional capital and/or
substantially reduce its operations. No assurances can be given that the Company
will be able to increase its revenues,  raise  additional  capital or reduce its
operations  in a manner that would allow it to continue  operations  in 2001 and
beyond.  In order to fund  operations,  the Company may need to raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity  securities,  in which case the  percentage
ownership of the  stockholders of the Company will be reduced,  stockholders may
experience  additional  dilution,  and such equity  securities  may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to common stock. There can be no assurance that
additional  financing  will be available  when needed on terms  favorable to the
Company or at all. If  adequate  funds are not  available  or not  available  on
acceptable  terms,  the Company may be unable to continue  operations;  develop,
enhance and market  products;  retain  qualified  personnel;  take  advantage of
future opportunities;  or respond to competitive  pressures,  any of which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,  operating results and
financial condition.

         Net cash used during the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  to fund
operations was approximately $2,152,000 compared to approximately $1,752,000 for
the same period in 1999.  Proceeds  from the offering and other  sources of cash
were used to fund current  period  operations  and research and  development  of
approximately  $330,000.  During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  net
proceeds  from  the  offering  and  other  sources  of  cash  were  used to fund
operations,  research and  development  of  approximately  $299,000 and software
development  of  approximately  $78,000.  At March  31,  2000,  cash and  liquid
investments were $1,715,497,  as compared to $3,590,965 at December 31, 1999. At
March 31, 2000 working  capital was  $3,867,014,  as compared to  $4,637,238  at
December 31, 1999.

         Surety  has  established  a credit  facility  with a maximum  borrowing
amount of $2,000,000.  Pursuant to the terms of the credit facility,  Surety may
obtain  advances  from the lender for funding of  mortgage  loans made by Surety
during the interim period between the funding and sale of the loans to permanent
investors. All advances made pursuant to the agreement are secured by a security
interest in the rights and benefits due Surety in conjunction with the making of
the underlying  loan.  The credit  facility bears interest at the lender's prime
rate plus 50 basis  points and expires on June 1, 2000.  Outstanding  borrowings
under the Loan Warehousing Agreement as of March 31, 2000 were $125,352.

         Implications of Year 2000 Issues

         The Company's operational  transition into the year 2000 was uneventful
and the Company is unaware of any material  problems or issues  associated  with
the operation of its systems as a result of Year 2000 issues.  In addition,  the
Company is unaware of any material  problems or issues  associated with critical
third  party  systems  and  services  utilized  by the  Company.  The  Company's
incremental  costs associated with Year 2000 issues have been  insignificant and
the  Company  does not  believe  that  significant  costs  will be  incurred  in
remediation of Year 2000 issues.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

         The Company's  market risk exposure is the potential  loss arising from
changes  in  interest  rates and its  impact on  investments  and the  Company's
mortgage brokerage business. The Company does not believe such risk is material.
The Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  consist of highly liquid  investments
with maturities of three months or less.  Further,  when the Company  receives a
commitment  to originate a mortgage loan from a consumer or  correspondent,  the
Company immediately  receives a commitment from an investor to buy such mortgage
loan. The Company does not believe that its mortgage  brokerage business exposes
it to significant market risk for changes in interest rates.

Part II. Other Information

Items 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On April 18, 2000, the Company filed a lawsuit against The Dime Savings
Bank of New York, FSB ("The Dime") and Hudson United  Bancorp  ("Hudson") in The
United  States  District  Court for the  district  of South  Carolina,  Columbia
Division.  The  lawsuit  arises  out of the  Company's  contract  with  The Dime
relating to the  development of a system to process and automate  decisioning of
automobile loans, which contract was acquired by The Dime in connection with its
acquisition  of the  indirect  automobile  loan  business  formerly  operated by
Citibank,  N.A.  In the  Company's  complaint,  the  Company  alleges  breach of
contract by The Dime and intentional  interference  with the contract by Hudson,
which  attempted  to merge with The Dime  earlier  this year.  The lawsuit  also
contains a civil conspiracy claim against both Dime and Hudson, and seeks actual
and punitive damages against both defendants.
