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,  1999 and the results of its  operations  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998 and the  changes in cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 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 Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

(3) Income  (Loss) per share - Income  (Loss) per share is  computed by dividing
the net loss for the period by the weighted  average  number of shares of common
stock. The common stock  equivalents are assumed  converted to common stock when
dilutive. During periods 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) During the period ended September 30, 1999, stock options to purchase 92,292
shares were exercised and the Company received gross proceeds of $106,905.  As a
result,  Common Stock and additional paid in capital increased $922 and $105,983
respectively.

During the period ended  September 30, 1999,  the Company issued 2,500 shares of
Common Stock to a consultant.  The value of such shares,  $5,625, was charged to
general and administrative expense.

(5) Pursuant to a March 25, 1999  agreement  between the  Company,  Consolidated
Technology  Group Ltd.  ("Consolidated"),  SIS  Capital  Corp.,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Consolidated  ("SISC"),  and a group of  purchasers,  consisting

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

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

A  significant  portion  of our  revenue is derived  from fixed  price  software
development  contracts and licenses.  We recognize this revenue on the estimated
percentage of completion basis.  Since the billing schedules under the contracts
differ  from  the  recognition  of  revenue,  at the end of any  quarter,  these
contacts  generally  result in either costs and  estimated  profits in excess of
billing or billing in excess of cost and estimated profits. During 1999, we have
received contracts that are larger than in previous years and they provide for a
longer  time  between  milestone  payments.  As a  result,  both our  costs  and
estimated  profits in excess of billings  and our billings in excess of cost and
estimated profits have increased at September 30, 1999. The largest component of
our  revenue  is based  upon the time  spent  by our  technical  personnel  on a
project.  As a result,  during the third and fourth  quarters,  when many of our
employees are on vacation and holidays, our revenue is affected.

Our revenue for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 (the  "September  1999
period") was  $16,046,000,  an increase of $7,165,000,  or 81%, from the revenue
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 (the "September 1998 period") which
was  $8,881,000.  The largest  component of revenue in the September 1999 period
was  turnkey  systems  labor  revenue,  which  increased  to  $5,860,000  in the
September 1999 period, from $2,349,000 in the September 1998 period,  reflecting
a 149%  increase.  This  increase is  substantially  the result of growth in the
behavioral  health  information  systems business and our ability to provide the
staff necessary to generate  additional revenue from our outstanding  contracts.
Revenue from third party  hardware and software,  increased to $4,435,000 in the
September 1999 period from $1,378,000 in the September 1998 period,  an increase
of 222%.  Sales of third party hardware and software are made in connection with
the sales of turnkey systems. The data center (service bureau) revenue decreased
to $1,462,000 in the September 1999 period from $1,667,000 in the September 1998
period, reflecting a decrease of 12%. This decrease was substantially the result
of a special  project  performed for a client  during the September  1998 period
which did not continue at the same rate in the  September  1999 period.  License
revenue  decreased to $1,729,000 in the September 1999 period from $1,791,000 in
the September  1998 period,  a decrease of 3%.  License  revenue is generated as
part of a sale of a behavioral health  information system pursuant to a contract
or purchase order that includes  delivery of the system and maintenance.  During
the September  1999 period,  our contracts  generally had a longer term than our
contracts in the September 1998 period,  resulting in license revenue recognized
over a longer period. At September 30, 1999, we had unrecognized license revenue
of approximately $2.4 million,  as compared with $788,000 at September 30, 1998.
We expect that we will recognize this license  revenue over the remaining  terms
of the  contracts,  which we expect  will be  completed  by December  31,  2000.
However,  it is  possible  that a  portion  of the  license  revenue  may not be
recognized until a later date.  Maintenance  revenue  increased to $1,673,000 in
the  September  1999  period  from  $1,010,000  in the  September  1998  period,
reflecting  an  increase  of 66%.  Revenue  from the sales of our small  turnkey
division increased to $887,000 in the September 1999 period from $686,000 in the
September 1998 period, reflecting an increase of 29%.

Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 57% of revenue for
the September 1999 period and 48% of revenue for the September 1998 period. This
increase reflects an increase in our contracts with state agencies.

Gross  profit  increased  to  $5,611,000  in  the  September  1999  period  from
$3,441,000  in the  September  1998 period,  a 63%  increase.  Our overall gross
margin was 35% for the September  1999 period  compared to 39% for the September
1998 period. The reduction in gross margin was substantially attributable to the
increase in our third party  hardware and software  revenue which yields margins
significantly  less than our  revenue  from our  behavioral  health  systems and
services.  Additionally,  in  order  to  fill  our  backlog  of  orders  for our
behavioral health systems, we hired additional technical personnel.  Since there
is a period of approximately nine months between the

                                      -9-

commencement  of employment and the ability to generate  revenue,  the increased
staffing had a negative impact upon our margins in the September 1999 period.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $3,640,000 in the September
1999  period,  an  increase of 58% from the  $2,301,000  in the  September  1998
period.  This increase was  substantially the result of an increase in sales and
marketing  salaries and related direct selling costs,  commission expense and an
increase in the provision for incentive bonuses.

We incurred  product  development  expenses of  $600,000 in the  September  1999
period, a decrease of 11% from the $678,000 in the September 1998 period.  These
expenses were related to our behavioral health information systems products such
as our clinician workstation,  behavioral health information system for Windows,
managed  care  and  methadone  dispensing  products.   The  decline  in  product
development  expense results from the reassignment during the first two quarters
of 1999 of personnel from product development to contract work.

Interest  expense  was  $187,000 in the  September  1999  period,  a decrease of
$82,000,  or 31%, from the $270,000 in the September 1998 period.  This decrease
was the result of lower borrowings during the September 1999 period, in addition
to a reduced cost of borrowings.  The most significant component of the interest
expense on an ongoing basis is the interest  payable to our asset-based  lender.
We paid  interest  on such  loans at a rate  equal to prime plus 5 %. In October
1999, we entered into a new credit facility  agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
The interest rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate.

Related party  administrative  expense was $45,000 in the September 1998 period.
These charges were incurred pursuant to a management services agreement with our
then principal stockholder to provide general business, management and financial
consulting  services for a monthly fee of $15,000.  This  agreement was mutually
terminated, effective April, 1 1998.

The net loss from our  discontinued  operations,  the smart card  division,  was
$381,000 in the September 1998 period.

As a result of the foregoing  factors,  we generated a net income of $1,184,000,
or $.41 per share (basic) and $.34 per share  (diluted),  in the September  1999
period.  For the September 1998 period,  we generated net income from continuing
operations  of  $147,000,  or $.06 per share  (basic and  diluted),  a loss from
discontinued  operations of $381,000, or $.14 per share (basic and diluted), and
a net loss of $234,000, or $.08 per share (basic and diluted).

Although our net income increased on a quarter to quarter basis, our revenue for
the third  quarter of 1999 was less than our revenue  for the second  quarter of
1999. We believe that the level of revenue was affected on a short-term basis by
both a reduction  in sales of third party  hardware  and  software,  on which we
realize a lower  gross  margin  than on our own  behavioral  health  systems and
services, and by employee vacations during the quarter.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

Our revenue for the three months ended  September 30, 1999 (the  "September 1999
quarter") was $5,240,000, an increase of $1,699,000, or 48% from the revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 (the "September 1998 quarter"),  which
was $3,540,000.  The largest  component of revenue in the September 1999 quarter
was  turnkey  systems  labor  revenue,  which  increased  to  $2,206,000  in the
September 1999 quarter from $1,015,000 in the September 1998 quarter, reflecting
a 117%  increase.  This  increase is  substantially  the result of growth in the
behavioral  health  information  systems business and our ability to provide the
staff  necessary  to  generate  additional  revenue.  Revenue  from third  party
hardware and software,  increased to  $1,190,000  in the September  1999 quarter
from $681,000 in the September  1998 quarter an increase of 75%.  Sales of third
party  hardware and software  are made in  connection  with the sales of turnkey
systems.  The data center (service bureau) revenue  decreased to $469,000 in the
September 1999 quarter from $491,000 in the September 1998 quarter, reflecting a
decrease of

                                      -10-

<PAGE>



4%. This decrease was  substantially  the result of a special project  performed
for a client  during the  September  1998 quarter  which did not continue at the
same rate in the September 1999 quarter.  License revenue  decreased to $536,000
in the September  1999 quarter from $760,000 in the  September  1998 quarter,  a
decrease of 30%.  License revenue is generated as part of a sale of a behavioral
health information system pursuant to a contract or purchase order that includes
delivery of the system and maintenance.  During the September 1999 quarter,  our
contracts  generally had a longer term than our contracts in the September  1998
period,  resulting  in  license  revenue  recognized  over a longer  period.  At
September 30, 1999, we had unrecognized  license revenue of  approximately  $2.4
million, as compared with $788,000 at September 30, 1998. We expect that we will
recognize this license revenue over the remaining terms of the contracts,  which
we expect will be completed by December 31, 2000. However, it is possible that a
portion  of the  license  revenue  may not be  recognized  until  a later  date.
Maintenance  revenue  increased to $539,000 in the  September  1999 quarter from
$348,000 in the September 1998 quarter,  reflecting an increase of 55%.  Revenue
from the  sales of our small  turnkey  division  increased  to  $299,000  in the
September 1999 quarter from $244,000 in the September  1998 quarter,  reflecting
an increase of 23%.

Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 49% of revenue for
the September  1999 quarter and 57% of revenue for the  September  1998 quarter.
This decline reflects work performed for a major customer in the private sector.

Gross  profit  increased  to  $1,866,000  in the  September  1999  quarter  from
$1,344,000 in the  September  1998  quarter,  a 39% increase.  Our overall gross
margin was 36% for the September 1999 quarter  compared to 38% for the September
1998 quarter.  The reduction in gross margin was  substantially  attributable to
the  increase in our third party  hardware  and  software  revenue  which yields
margins  significantly  less than revenue from our behavioral health systems and
services.  Additionally,  in  order  to  fill  our  backlog  of  orders  for our
behavioral health systems, we hired additional technical personnel.  Since there
is a period of approximately  nine months between the commencement of employment
and the ability to  generate  revenue,  the  increased  staffing  had a negative
impact upon our margins in the September 1999 period.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $1,156,000 in the September
1999  quarter,  an  increase  of 25% from the  $924,000  in the  September  1998
quarter.  This increase was substantially the result of an increase in sales and
marketing  salaries  and  related  direct  selling  costs and an increase in the
provision for incentive bonuses.

We  incurred  product  development  expense of $210,000  in the  September  1999
quarter,  an increase of 52% from the $138,000 in the  September  1998  quarter.
These  expenses  were  related  to our  behavioral  health  information  systems
products such as our clinician workstation, behavioral health information system
for Windows, managed care and methadone dispensing products.

Interest  expense  was  $57,000 in the  September  1999  quarter,  a decrease of
$64,000,  or 53% from the $121,000 in the September 1998 quarter.  This decrease
was the  result of lower  borrowings  during  the  September  1999  quarter,  in
addition  to a  reduction  in the  cost  of  borrowings.  The  most  significant
component of the interest expense on an ongoing basis is the interest payable to
our asset-based  lender. We paid interest on such loans at a rate equal to prime
plus 5 %. In October 1999 we entered into a new credit  facility  agreement with
Silicon Valley Bank. The interest rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime
rate.

The net loss from our  discontinued  operations,  the smart card  division,  was
$38,000 in the September 1998 quarter.

As a result of the foregoing factors, we generated a net income of $443,000,  or
$.15 per share  (basic) and $.13 per diluted  share  (diluted) in the  September
1999 quarter as compared to a net income of  $123,000,  or $.04 per share (basic
and diluted) in the September 1998 quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had  working  capital of  $1,350,000  at  September  30,  1999 as compared to
working  capital of $10,000 at December 31, 1998.  Our cash  position  decreased
from  $199,000  at December  31,  1998 to $80,000 at  September  30,  1999.  The
increase in working  capital for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 was
substantially  due  to  the  net  income  after  adding  back  depreciation  and
amortization.

Our principal  source of funds,  other than revenue,  is an accounts  receivable
financing  agreement with an asset based lender which permits us to borrow up to
80% of eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum of $2,000,000.  At September
30, 1999, the outstanding borrowings under this facility were $1,304,000 and the
maximum amount  available under this formula was $1,658,000.  In October 1999 we
entered into a new credit  facility  agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The new
facility allows us to access up to $3.5 million of eligible accounts  receivable
at an interest  rate of 2% above the prime rate.  The previous  credit  facility
only allowed us to draw $2 million at 5% above the prime rate.

At September 30, 1999,  accounts  receivable and costs and estimated  profits in
excess  of  interim  billings  were  approximately  $9.3  million,  representing
approximately  156 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, although no assurance can be given that revenue
will continue at the same level as the nine month period. Accounts receivable at
September 30, 1999 increased by $1.881,000  million from  $3,600,000 at December
31, 1998 to $5,481,000  at September 30, 1999. We believe that,  the income from
operations,  the  availability  with our new asset based  lender and the cash on
hand, will be sufficient to enable us to continue to operate without  additional
funding.
