                               Netsmart Technologies, Inc.
                        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)  In the  opinion  of  the  Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company as
of September  30,1997 and the results of its  operations for the nine months and
three months ended September  30,1997 and 1996 and the changes in cash flows for
the nine months ended September  30,1997 and 1996. The results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30,1997 and 1996 are not necessarily  indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

(2) The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Notes 1 and
2 to the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements as filed in its December
31, 1996 Form 10-K.

During the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  invested in
software for a customer activated terminal for a major west coast utility.  As a
result of this effort, the Company capitalized software development costs in the
amount of $258,000.  Also during the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  the
Company  developed  a series  of  software  products  and  capitalized  software
development costs of $203,500.

On June  30,  1997,  the  Company  paid a  dividends  relating  to the  Series D
Preferred  Stock  which were  payable on October 1, 1996 and April 1, 1997.  The
dividends  were paid  through the  issuance  12,802  shares of Common  Stock and
valued at the fair market  value at the  respective  dates they became  payable.
This  resulted in an increase of  $108,900  in the  accumulated  deficit  with a
corresponding  increase in Common Stock and additional  paid in capital - Common
stock in the amounts of $128 and $108,772, respectively.

In September  1997,  164,777 stock options were  exercised in the 1993 Long Term
Incentive stock option plan and the Company  received gross proceeds of $40,913.
As a result,  Common Stock and additional paid in capital Common stock increased
by $ 1,647 and $39,266 respectively.

(3) Loss per share - Loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the
period by the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock.  Common stock
equivalents are assumed converted to common stock when dilutive.  During periods
of  operations  in which losses were  incurred,  common stock  equivalents  were
excluded  from the weighted  average  number of shares of common  stock  because
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(4) In October  1997,  the Company  issued 80,000 shares of Common stock for the
purchase of certain assets and customer lists.

In  September  1997 the  Company  amended  the terms of its Series A  Redeemable
Common Stock  Purchase  Warrants.  Pursuant to the  amendment,  (i) the exercise
price of the Warrant was reduced  from $4.50 to $3.00,  and (ii) upon payment of
the $3.00  exercise  price,  the Company will issue two shares of Common  Stock,
resulting in an effective  exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The amended terms
will remain in effect until  December 16, 1997.  For the period  October 1, 1997
through  October 29,  1997,  629,880  warrants  were  exercised  and the Company
received $1,889,640 in gross proceeds. As a result, the Company issued 1,259,760
additional common shares in October.

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

Results of operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

The  Company's  revenue  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  (the
"September 1997 period") was $5,144,000,  a decrease of $1,355,000,  or 21% from
the revenue for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 (the  "September  1996
period") which was $6,499,000.  This decrease results from a decrease in revenue
from  $1,593,000 in the September  1996 period to $95,000 in the September  1997
period,  from a contract with IBN Inc.  ("IBN").  IBN  represented the Company's
largest  customer in the September  1996 period,  accounting  for  approximately
24.5% of  revenue.  As of  September  30,  1997 the  contract  is  substantially
complete.  The Company is no longer providing  professional services to IBN. The
Company  intends  to expand its  marketing  effort  for its  CarteSmart  System,
however,  at  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  did not have any  significant
contracts for the CarteSmart system.

Revenue from the Company's health information systems continued to represent the
Company's  principal source of revenue in September 1997 period,  accounting for
$4,943,000 or 96% of revenue.  The largest component of revenue in the September
1997  period  was data  center  (service  bureau)  revenue  which  increased  to
$1,567,000  from  $1,543,000  in the  September  1996  period,  reflecting  a 2%
increase.  The turnkey systems revenue  increased to $1,463,000 in the September
1997 period from $1,235,000 in the September 1996 period, reflecting an increase
of 18%.  Maintenance  revenue increased to $975,000 in the September 1997 period
from  $890,000 in the  September  1996  period,  reflecting  an increase of 10%.
License revenue decreased to $214,000 in the September 1997 period from $309,000
in the September 1996 period, a decrease of 31%. License revenue is generated as
part of a sale of a turnkey system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that
includes  development of a turnkey system and maintenance.  Third party hardware
and software  revenue  decreased to $724,000 in the  September  1997 period from
$919,000 in the September  1996 period,  reflecting a decrease of 21%.  Sales of
third party  hardware  and  software  are made in  connection  with the sales of
turnkey systems.

Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 35% of revenue for
September  1997 period . The Company  believes that such contracts will continue
to represent an important part of its business.

Gross profit  decreased to $625,000 in the September 1997 period from $1,283,000
in the September 1996 period,  a 51% decrease.  The decrease in the gross profit
was  substantially the result of the reduction in revenue from the IBN contract,
on which there was a negative  gross  profit as well as a decrease in the health
information systems license revenue.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $2,015,000 in the September
1997  period,  an  increase of 35% from the  $1,489,000  in the  September  1996
period. This increase was the result of an increase in personnel and salaries in
the sales and marketing and administrative areas as well as an increase in other
direct sales expenses and insurance.

During the September  1996 period,  the Company  incurred non cash  compensation
charges of $2.2  million  arising out of the issuance by the Company of warrants
and options having  exercise prices which were less than the market value of the
Common Stock at the date of approval by the board of directors.  No such charges
were incurred during the September 1997 period.

During the September  1996 period,  the Company issued shares of Common Stock to
certain lenders and as a result, incurred a financing cost of $1.7 million which
was charged to  operations.  No such charges were incurred  during the September
1997 period.

In the September  1997 period,  the Company's 50% share of the loss in its joint
venture  corporation with respect to the development of CCAC software  purchased
in 1996  increased from $109,000 in the September 1996 period to $140,000 in the
September 1997 period.

Interest  expense  was  $239,000 in the  September  1997  period,  a decrease of
$155,000,  or 39% from the  $394,000  in the  September  1996 period . This is a
result of a decrease in the average borrowings during the September 1997 period.
The most  significant  component of the interest  expense on an ongoing basis is
the  interest  payable to the  Company's  asset-based  lender.  The Company pays
interest  on such loan at a rate equal to the  greater of 18% per annum or prime
plus 8% plus a fee of 1% of the face amount of the invoice.  Effective August 1,
1997,  the Company  renegotiated  its  agreement  with its asset - based  lender
whereby the  interest  rate was reduced to a basic  interest  rate of prime plus
8.5% plus a fee of 5/8% of the face amount of the invoice.

Related party administrative  expense was $135,000 in the September 1997 period,
an increase of $111,000  from the $24,000 in the  September  1996  period.  This
increase was the result of an agreement with The Trinity Group, an affiliate, to
provide general  business,  management and financial  consulting  services for a
monthly fee of $15,000.

The Company did not incur any research and  development  costs in the  September
1997 and 1996 periods.

As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the Company  incurred a net loss of $1.9
million, or $.28 per share, in the September 1997 period, as compared with a net
loss of $4.6 million, or $.92 per share, in the September 1996 period.

Three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

The  Company's  revenue  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997 (the
"September 1997 quarter") was $1,830,000,  an increase of $267,000,  or 17% from
the revenue for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 (the  "September 1996
quarter") which was $1,563,000.

Revenue from the Company's health information systems continued to represent the
Company's principal source of revenue in the September 1997 quarter,  accounting
for  $1,811,000  or 99% of  revenue.  The  largest  component  of revenue in the
September 1997 quarter was turnkey  systems  revenue which increased to $650,000
from $415,000 in the September  1996  quarter,  reflecting a 57% increase.  This
increase  is  substantially  the  result of growth in  turnkey  backlog  and the
ability of the Company to provide the staff necessary to generate the additional
revenue.  The data center (service bureau) revenue  increased to $548,000 in the
September 1997 quarter from $506,000 in the September  1996 quarter,  reflecting
an increase of 8%.  Maintenance  revenue  decreased to $309,000 in the September
1997 quarter from $317,000 in the September 1996 quarter,  reflecting a decrease
of 3%. License revenue remained  constant at $69,000 for both the September 1997
quarter and September  1996 quarter.  License  revenue is generated as part of a
sale of a turnkey system  pursuant to a contract or purchase order that includes
development  of a turnkey  system and  maintenance.  Third  party  hardware  and
software  revenue  decreased  to $235,000 in the  September  1997  quarter  from
$256,000 in the September  1996  quarter,  reflecting a decrease of 8%. Sales of
third party  hardware  and  software  are made in  connection  with the sales of
turnkey systems.

Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 40% of revenue for
the  September  1997 quarter.  The Company  believes  that such  contracts  will
continue to represent an important part of its business.

Gross profit  increased to $203,000 in the September 1997 quarter from $(29,000)
in the September 1996 quarter,  a 793%  increase.  The negative gross profit was
substantially  due to costs incurred in the September  1996 quarter  relating to
the IBN contract. Such costs were no longer being incurred in the September 1997
quarter.  The  increase in the gross  profit was  substantially  the result of a
reduction in costs  associated  with the IBN contract as well as the increase in
revenue from the health information systems mentioned above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $698,000 in the September 1997
quarter,  an increase of 26% from the $555,000 in the  September  1996  quarter.
This  increase  was the result of an increase in  personnel  and salaries in the
sales and  marketing  and  administrative  areas as well as an increase in other
direct sales expenses and insurance.

During the September 1996 quarter,  the Company issued shares of Common Stock to
certain lenders and as a result, incurred a financing cost of $1.7 million which
was charged to  operations.  No such charges were incurred  during the September
1997 quarter.

In the September 1997 quarter,  the Company's 50% share of the loss in its joint
venture  corporation with respect to the development of CCAC software  purchased
in 1996  increased  from $9,000 in the September  1996 quarter to $35,000 in the
September 1997 quarter.

Interest  expense  was  $89,000 in the  September  1997  quarter,  a decrease of
$30,000,  or 25% from the  $119,000 in the  September  1996  quarter.  This is a
result of a decrease in the average borrowings during the 1997 quarter. The most
significant  component  of the  interest  expense  on an  ongoing  basis  is the
interest payable to the Company's  asset-based lender. The Company pays interest
on such loan at a rateof  prime plus 8.5% plus a fee of 5/8% of the face  amount
of the invoice.

Related party administrative  expense was $45,000 in the September 1997 quarter,
an increase of $30,000  from the $15,000 in the  September  1996  quarter.  This
increase was the result of an agreement  with The Trinity  Group an affiliate to
provide general  business,  management and financial  consulting  services for a
monthly fee of $15,000.

The Company did not incur any research and  development  costs in the  September
1997 and 1996 quarters.

As a  result  of the  foregoing  factors,  the  Company  incurred  a net loss of
$665,000,  or $.10 per share, in the September 1997 quarter,  as compared with a
net loss of $2,407,000 or per $.47 per share, in the September 1996 quarter.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had a working  capital deficit of $1.6 million at September 30, 1997
as compared to a working  capital  surplus of $477,000 at December 31, 1996. The
decrease in working  capital for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 was
substantially  due to the net loss incurred for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997 as well as the  Company's  increase in its  capitalized  software.  The
Company also  invested an additional  $148,000 in its CCAC joint venture  during
the nine months ended  September  30, 1997.  The  Company's  cash  balances were
$4,000 at September 30, 1997 as compared to $998,000 at December 31, 1996.

The  Company's  principal  source  of funds,  other  than  revenue,  has been an
accounts  receivable  financing  agreement with an asset based lender whereby it
may  borrow  up to  80% of  eligible  accounts  receivable  up to a  maximum  of
$750,000.  Effective  August 1, 1997,  the maximum amount the Company can borrow
has been  increased to  $1,250,000.  As of September 30, 1997,  the  outstanding
borrowings under this facility were $873,000. At September 30, 1997, the maximum
amount available under this formula was $887,000.

At September 30, 1997,  accounts  receivable and costs and estimated  profits in
excess  of  interim  billings  were  approximately  $2.9  million,  representing
approximately  150 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, although no assurance can be given that revenue
will continue at the same level as the nine month period. Accounts receivable at
September 30, 1997 decreased by $231,000 from $2,284,000 at December 31, 1996 to
$2,053,000 at September  30, 1997. At September 30, 1997,  IBN accounted for 17%
of the total gross accounts  receivable balance. No other customer accounted for
more than 10% of the accounts  receivable  balance. A significant  percentage of
such accounts receivable from IBN at September 30, 1997 has been outstanding for
more than one year.

In  September  1997 the  Company  amended  the terms if its Series A  Redeemable
Common Stock  Purchase  Warrants.  Pursuant to the  amendment,  (i) the exercise
price of the Warrant was reduced  from $4.50 to $3.00,  and (ii) upon payment of
the $3.00  exercise  price,  the Company will issue two shares of Common  Stock,
resulting in an effective  exercise price of $1.50 per share.  The amended terms
will remain in effect until  December 16, 1997.  For the period  October 1, 1997
through  October 29, 1997,  629,880  warrants were exercised and the Company has
received  $1,889,640 in gross  proceeds.  The Company  believes that these funds
will be sufficient to enable it to operate without additional funds for at least
one year.
