--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 June 30, 2000 and the  results of its  operations  for the six months  ended
 June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the  changes in cash flows for the six months  ended
 June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the six months ended June
 30, 2000 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, 1999.

 (3) Income per share - Income per share is computed by dividing  the net income
 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.

 (4) During the period ended June 30, 2000,  stock  options to purchase  320,248
 shares were exercised and we received  gross proceeds of $372,195.  Pursuant to
 the option grants, employees had the right to pay for the exercise price of the
 option by delivering  shares of common stock owned by them.  During the period,
 the Company received 22,705 shares, having a value of $239,810, as the exercise
 price of options.  As a result,  common  stock and  additional  paid in capital
 increased by $3,202 and $368,993, respectively, and treasury stock increased by
 $239,810.

 During the period ended June 30, 2000, warrants to purchase 192,105 shares were
 exercised and the Company  received gross proceeds of $1,152,630.  As a result,
 common stock and additional paid in capital increased by $1,922 and $1,150,708,
 receptively.

 (5) In January 2000, the Company  acquired the Connex suite of managed care and
 employee assistance program information system from Behavioral Health Partners,
 Inc.  The  acquisition  price  consisted of  approximately  $39,266 in cash and
 15,528  shares of common  stock  valued at  $100,000.  The  purchase  price was
 allocated to software development costs and will be amortized over an estimated
 life of five  years.  During the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  we incurred
 additional  software  development costs associated with the employee assistance
 program software in the amount of $132,061,  which is reflected in research and
 development expenses.

 (6) The Company is the  defendant  in an action  commenced in June 2000 seeking
 damages of $2,000,000 for an alleged  breach of a software  license and service
 development agreement. The Company believes that it has valid legal defenses to
 such action.

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

 Results of Operations

 Six months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

 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  period,  these
 contacts  generally  result in either costs and estimated  profits in excess of
 billing  or  billing  in  excess of cost and  estimated  profits.  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  could be
 affected.  Additionally,  during  the first  half of 2000,  we  implemented  an
 increased  product  enhancement  effort  relating  principally  to new  product
 functionality,  technology  upgrades and the addition of clinical  content.  In
 addition,  we undertook the  development  of a significant  upgrade to our core
 product  which  resulted  in a  migration  to  leading  edge  technologies.  We
 allocated to these projects personnel who had previously performed services for
 clients which generated revenue.

 Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 (the "June 2000 period") was
 $10,511,000, a decrease of $296,000, or 3%, from the revenue for the six months
 ended June 30,  1999 (the  "June  1999  period"),  which was  $10,807,000.  The
 largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased
 to $3,521,000 in the June 2000 period, from $3,654,000 in the June 1999 period,
 reflecting a 4% decrease. This decrease reflects the allocation of personnel to
 our product enhancement efforts. Revenue from third party hardware and software
 decreased to  $2,246,000  in the June 2000 period from  $3,245,000  in the June
 1999 period,  which represents a decrease of 31%. Sales of third party hardware
 and software are made in connection  with the sales of turnkey  systems.  These
 sales are  typically  made at lower gross  margins than our  behavioral  health
 systems  and  services  revenue.  The  data  center  (service  bureau)  revenue
 increased to  $1,205,000 in the June 2000 period from $993,000 in the June 1999
 period,  reflecting  an increase of 21%.  This  increase is  substantially  the
 result  of  work  being  performed  for one  particular  client.  There  are no
 assurances  that  revenue will  continue at this rate for this client.  License
 revenue  increased to $1,258,000 in the June 2000 period from $1,193,000 in the
 June 1999 period, reflecting an increase of 5%. 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.
 Maintenance  revenue  increased  to  $1,647,000  in the June 2000  period  from
 $1,134,000  in the June 1999 period,  reflecting an increase of 45%. As turnkey
 systems are  successfully  completed,  they are transitioned to the maintenance
 division.  During the June 2000 period,  we completed  the turnkey  systems for
 approximately 24 new clients, for which we are performing maintenance services.
 Revenue from the sales of our small turnkey  division  increased to $634,000 in
 the June 2000  period  from  $588,000 in the June 1999  period,  reflecting  an
 increase of 8%.

 Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 47% of revenue in
 the June 2000 period and 54% of revenue in the June 1999 period.  This decrease
 results from a substantial contract with a private institution.

 Gross profit increased to $4,227,000 in the June 2000 period from $3,745,000 in
 the June 1999 period,  reflecting a 13% increase.  Our overall gross margin was
 40% in the June  2000  period  compared  to 35% in the June  1999  period.  The
 increase in gross margin was substantially  attributable to the decrease in our
 third party hardware and software revenue,  which yields margins  significantly
 less than our revenue from our  behavioral  health systems and services and the
 increase in maintenance  revenue,  which  generates a higher gross margin since
 the core costs and infrastructure investment have previously been established.

 Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $2,368,000 in the June 2000
 period,  a decrease of 5% from the  $2,484,000  in the June 1999  period.  This
 decrease was substantially the result of a decrease in sales commissions.

 In the June 2000  period we issued  warrants  for  services  rendered.  We also
 extended one series of our  warrants for five months.  An aggregate of $181,000
 was charged to operations for the warrant  issuance and the warrant  extension.
 We did not have a similar  charge in the June 1999  period.  As a result of the
 exercise of warrants during the extension period, we raised additional  capital
 of $1,153,000.

 We  incurred  research  and  development  expenses of $704,000 in the June 2000
 period, an increase of 80% from the $390,000 in the June 1999 period.  Research
 and  development  expenses  increased  in the June  2000  period as a result of
 several  major   productive   initiatives.   These   initiatives   include  the
 repositioning  of all of our  products  to thin  client  environment  that will
 facilitate   alternative  system  delivery  methods,   including  Internet  and
 application service provider channels.  Additionally,  a significant upgrade to
 our core  product was  undertaken  which  migrated  the product to more current
 technologies and integrated customer specific requirements.

 Interest expense was $84,000 in the June 2000 period, a decrease of $46,000, or
 36%, from the $130,000 in the June 1999 period. This decrease was the result of
 lower borrowings  during the June 2000 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 the June  1999
 period. In October 1999, we entered into a new credit facility  agreement.  The
 interest  rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate.  During the June
 2000 period,  we paid all our outstanding  borrowings from the lender,  and, at
 June 30, 2000,  there were no obligations to the lender.  This facility remains
 available  under  the same  terms  and  conditions  if we need to borrow in the
 future.

 As a result of the  foregoing  factors,  in the June 2000 period we generated a
 net income of $890,000, or $.27 per share (basic) and $.24 per share (diluted).
 For the June 1999  period,  we generated  net income of  $740,000,  or $.26 per
 share (basic) and $.22 per share (diluted).

 Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

 Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 (the "June 2000  quarter")
 was $4,909,000,  a decrease of $663,000, or 12%, from the revenue for the three
 months ended June 30, 1999 (the "June 1999 quarter"), which was $5,572,000. The
 largest component of revenue was turnkey systems labor revenue, which decreased
 to  $1,666,000  in the June  2000  quarter,  from  $2,092,000  in the June 1999
 quarter,  reflecting a 20% decrease.  This decrease  reflects the allocation of
 personnel to our product enhancement efforts. Revenue from third party hardware
 and software  decreased to $764,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $1,513,000 in
 the June 1999 quarter, which represents a decrease of 50%. Sales of third party
 hardware and software are made in connection with the sales of turnkey systems.
 These sales are  typically  made at lower  gross  margins  than our  behavioral
 health systems and services  revenue.  The data center (service bureau) revenue
 increased to $694,000 in the June 2000  quarter from  $467,000 in the June 1999
 quarter,  reflecting  an increase of 49%. This  increase is  substantially  the
 result  of  work  being  performed  for one  particular  client.  There  are no
 assurances that revenue will continue at this rate for this client.
 License  revenue  decreased to $610,000 in the June 2000 quarter from $623,000
 in the June 1999  quarter,  reflecting  a decrease  of 2%.  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. Maintenance revenue increased to $880,000 in the June 2000 quarter
 from  $535,000  in the June 1999  quarter,  reflecting  an  increase of 64%. As
 turnkey  systems  are  successfully  completed,  they are  transitioned  to the
 maintenance  division.  During the June 2000 quarter,  we completed the turnkey
 systems  for  approximately  24  new  clients,  for  which  we  are  performing
 maintenance  services.  Revenue  from the sales of our small  turnkey  division
 decreased to $295,000 in the June 2000  quarter from  $342,000 in the June 1999
 quarter, reflecting a decrease of 14%.

 Revenue from contracts from government  agencies  represented 49% of revenue in
 the June  2000  quarter  and 52% of  revenue  in the June  1999  quarter.  This
 decrease results from a substantial contract with a private institution.

 Gross profit  increased to $2,142,000 in the June 2000 quarter from  $1,957,000
 in the June 1999 quarter, reflecting

                                      -10-

 a 9%  increase.  Our  overall  gross  margin  was 44% in the June 2000  quarter
 compared to 35% in the June 1999  quarter.  The  increase  in gross  margin was
 substantially  attributable  to the  decrease in our third party  hardware  and
 software revenue, which yields margins significantly less than our revenue from
 our  behavioral  health  systems and services,  and the increase in maintenance
 revenue,  which  generates  a higher  gross  margin  since  the core  costs and
 infrastructure investment have previously been established.

 Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $1,280,000 in the June 2000
 quarter,  a decrease of 2% from the  $1,306,000 in the June 1999 quarter.  This
 decrease was substantially the result of a decrease in sales commissions.

 We  incurred  research  and  development  expenses of $382,000 in the June 2000
 quarter,  an  increase  of 103% from the  $188,000  in the June  1999  quarter.
 Research  and  development  expenses  increased  in the June 2000  quarter as a
 result of several major productive  initiatives.  These initiatives include the
 repositioning  of all of our  products  to thin  client  environment  that will
 facilitate   alternative  system  delivery  methods,   including  Internet  and
 application service provider channels.  Additionally,  a significant upgrade to
 our core  product was  undertaken  which  migrated  the product to more current
 technologies and integrated customer specific requirements.

 Interest  expense was $26,000 in the June 2000 quarter,  a decrease of $23,000,
 or 47%, from the $49,000 in the June 1999 quarter. This decrease was the result
 of lower borrowings during the June 2000 quarter, 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 the June  1999
 quarter. In October 1999, we entered into a new credit facility agreement.  The
 interest  rate of the new facility is 2% above the prime rate.  During the June
 2000 quarter,  we paid all our outstanding  borrowings from the lender, and, at
 June 30, 2000,  there were no obligations to the lender.  This facility remains
 available  under  the same  terms  and  conditions  if we need to borrow in the
 future.

 As a result of the foregoing factors,  in the June 2000 quarter, we generated a
 net income of $453,000, or $.13 per share (basic) and $.12 per share (diluted).
 For the June 1999  quarter,  we generated  net income of $413,000,  or $.14 per
 share (basic) and $.12 per share (diluted).


 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 We had working  capital of  $4,195,000  at June 30, 2000 as compared to working
 capital of $2,013,000 at December 31, 1999.  Our cash position  increased  from
 $205,000 at December  31, 1999 to $272,000 at June 30,  2000.  The  increase in
 working  capital for the June 2000 period was  substantially  due to net income
 after  adding  back  depreciation  and  amortization  as well  as from  capital
 received from the exercise of warrants and options totaling $1,053,000.

 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 $3.5 million.  At June
 30, 2000,  there were no  outstanding  borrowings  under this  facility and the
 maximum amount available to borrow under this formula was $2.3 million.

 At June 30, 2000, accounts receivable and costs and estimated profits in excess
 of  interim   billings   were   approximately   $10.7   million,   representing
 approximately 183 days of revenue based on annualizing the revenue for the June
 2000 period,  although no assurance  can be given that revenue will continue at
 the same level as the June 2000 period.  Accounts  receivable  at June 30, 2000
 increased  by $1.2 million from $5.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $7 million
 at June 30, 2000.

 Based on our outstanding contracts and our continuing business, we believe that
 our cash flow from operations,  the availability under our financing  agreement
 and our cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to continue to

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

 operate without  additional  funding,  although it is possible that we may need
 additional  funding if our business does not develop as we anticipate or if our
 expenses, including our software development costs relating to our expansion of
 our product line and our  marketing  costs for seeking to expand the market for
 our products and services to include  smaller  clinics and  facilities and sole
 group practitioners exceed our expectation.

 Furthermore,  if we continue to grow at the existing rate into 2001 and beyond,
 we may require additional  funding.  We are exploring various long term funding
 possibilities,  although we cannot give any assurances  that we will be able to
 obtain financing,  and our failure to obtain financing could impair our ability
 to grow.

 An important part of our growth  strategy is to acquire other  businesses  that
 are related to our current business. Such acquisitions may be made with cash or
 our securities or a combination of cash and  securities.  To the extent that we
 require  cash,  we may have to  borrow  the funds or issue  equity.  We have no
 commitments  from any financing source and we may not be able to raise any cash
 necessary to complete an acquisition.  If we fail to make any  acquisitions our
 future growth may be limited.

 Year 2000 Compliance

 The "Year 2000 Issue"  refers  generally to the problems that some software may
 have in determining  the correct  century for the year.  For example,  software
 with  date-sensitive  functions that is not Year 2000 compliant may not be able
 to determine  whether "00" means 1900 or 2000, which may result in computer and
 other failures or the creation of erroneous results.

 We believe that our present software products are Year 2000 compliant, and that
 any changes  which may be required to software  which we have  delivered in the
 past would be made pursuant to new  contracts  with the clients to provide them
 with a current version of our products.

 We have defined Year 2000 compliant as the ability to:

     *    correctly handle date  information  needed for the December 31, 1999
          to January  1, 2000 date change;

     *    function according to the product documentation provided for this date
          change, without changes in operation resulting from the advent of a
          new century, assuming correct configuration;

     *    where appropriate,  respond to two-digit date input in a way that
          resolves the ambiguity as to century in a disclosed, defined and
          predetermined manner;

     *    if the date elements in interfaces and data storage specify the
          century, store and  provide  output  of date  information  in ways
          that are  unambiguous  as to century; and

     *    recognize year 2000 as a leap year.

To date,  we have not  experienced  any material  expense  relating to Year 2000
compliance.
