                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the
opinion of management are necessary to fairly present the Company's financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements as included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. The results of
operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter
or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

2.   BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

     The Company's net loss per share has been calculated in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
effect of outstanding stock options is excluded from the calculation of diluted
net loss per share, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

3.   REVENUE RECOGNITION

     On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position No. 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 97-2) which superseded Statement of Position
91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 91-1). The implementation of SOP 97-2
did not have a material adverse affect on the Company's business or on the
Company's reported revenues and earnings for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998. In accordance with SOP 97-2, revenue from product licensing
is recognized when the product is delivered, all significant contractual
obligations have been satisfied and the resulting receivable is deemed
collectible by management.

     Software license and service revenues from contracts requiring significant
customization services are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method
based on the ratio of incurred costs to total estimated costs. Actual costs and
gross margins on such contracts could differ from the Company's estimates and
such differences could be material to the financial statements. An allowance for
future estimated warranty costs are provided at the time revenue is recognized.
Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the related
agreements, which in most cases is one year.

     In March 1998, Statement of Position No. 98-4, "Deferral of the Effective
Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition" (SOP 98-4) was
issued. SOP 98-4 defers for one year the application of certain provisions of
SOP 97-2. These provisions limit what is considered vendor-specific objective
evidence of the fair value of the various elements in a multiple element
arrangement. All other provisions of SOP 97-2 remain in effect.

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130
establishes new rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its
components, however, it had no impact on the Company's net income or
stockholders' equity. There is no difference between comprehensive income (loss)
and net income (loss) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997.

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company's strategy, financial
performance, expense levels and revenue sources. The Company's actual results
could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, product 
development investments and their intended results, ability to develop new 
software products based on research undertaken in connection with new software 
development contracts, plans with respect to strategic development projects, 
expected purchase and implementation of Year 2000 compliant software for 
internal computer systems, those discussed herein and in the Company's Annual 
Report as filed on Form 10-K.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   OVERVIEW

     The Company's total revenues are derived from software licenses, services,
and maintenance agreements. The Company licenses software to end-users under
non-cancelable license agreements and provides services such as software
development, software customization installation, training and software
maintenance. Software license revenue for contracts not requiring significant
customization services are recognized when a product has been shipped, all
significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and the resulting
receivable is deemed collectible by management. Software license and service
revenues from contracts requiring significant customization services are
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on the ratio of incurred
costs to total estimated costs. Actual costs and gross margins on such contracts
could differ from the Company's estimates and such differences could be material
to the financial statements. An allowance for future estimated warranty costs
are provided at the time revenue is recognized. Maintenance revenue is
recognized ratably over the term of the related agreements, which in most cases
is one year.

     Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 decreased 28.3% to
$3.1 million from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased 22.9% to $8.1 million,
compared to total revenues of $10.4 million for the same period in 1997. The
decrease in revenues is in part attributable to numerous mergers in the banking
industry, customer delays in installing the Company's software products, thus
slowing the revenue recognition process, and deferral of purchase decisions
arising from preoccupation with the Year 2000 issue. The Company believes that
mergers and Year 2000 issues have put severe constraints on resources available
within the banking industry to successfully implement the Company's offerings.
The Company believes its technology and products are applicable to other market
segments within the financial services industry, such as brokerage, mutual funds
and insurance segments. Although the Company has successfully completed
installations at both Fidelity Investments and Merrill Lynch, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in these markets.

     The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $17.0 million at
June 30,1998. The Company had a net loss of approximately $5.1 million and
$201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. There
can be no assurance that the Company will have operating profits in any future
period and profitable operating results recorded in the 1996 and 1997 calendar
years should not be considered indicative of future financial performance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

     REVENUES

     LICENSE.   License revenue is primarily derived from licenses of the
Company's CheckVision and RemitVision software products. License revenue
decreased 49.2% to $383,000 from $754,000 for the three months ended June

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of total revenues, license
revenues decreased to 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared
to 17.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     SERVICE.   Service revenue has been comprised primarily of fees from
software application development contracts, and to a lesser extent, fees from
installation services and training for the Company's CheckVision and RemitVision
software products. Service revenue decreased 43.1% to $1.6 million from $2.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
decrease in service revenues primarily resulted from customer delays that
affected revenue recognition coupled with deferrals of expected new contracts.
As a percentage of total revenues, service revenues decreased to 52.4% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 66.0% for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Service revenue as a percentage of total revenues will vary
between periods due to changes in demand for the Company's services and changes
in the rate of growth in license revenue.

     MAINTENANCE.   Maintenance revenue is generated primarily by software
support contracts to customers who have entered into license agreements for the
use of the Company's software products. Such contracts include telephone
support, minor software upgrades and, in some cases, third party support.
Maintenance revenue increased 52.8% to $1.1 million from $718,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of total
revenues, maintenance revenue increased to 35.3% for the three months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to 16.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Maintenance revenue increased primarily due to the growing base of installed
CheckVision products resulting in corresponding increase in demand for
maintenance service. Accordingly, the Company believes that fluctuations in the
demand for its CheckVision and RemitVision products could result in fluctuations
of maintenance revenue.

     COST OF REVENUES

     LICENSE.   Cost of license revenue increased to $42,000 from $23,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing 11.0%
and 3.1% of license revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Cost of license revenue increase resulted from additional
contracts requiring royalty payments. The cost of license revenue as a
percentage of license revenue is expected to increase in the future if the
Company's strategy of increasing revenue from software products developed under
software applications framework development contracts is successful and
associated royalties become due.

     SERVICE.   Cost of service revenue is primarily comprised of employee-
related costs and fees for third party consultants incurred in providing
installation, training and development services. Cost of service revenue
increased 55.4% to $3.1 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing 190.0% and 69.6% of service
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
increase in cost of service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
due primarily to an increase in accrued costs of $1.7 million with respect to
risks associated with specific contracts. 

     MAINTENANCE.   Cost of maintenance revenue is primarily comprised of
employee-related costs incurred in providing customer support and also includes
the costs of services provided by third parties for hardware-related maintenance
for certain of the installed base of customers. Cost of maintenance revenue
increased 96.6% to $684,000 from $348,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, representing 62.4% and 48.5% of maintenance
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
cost of maintenance revenue increase is due to maintenance revenue growth, and
recently completed software development contracts requiring higher level of
maintenance labor.

     OPERATING EXPENSES
 
     SALES AND MARKETING.   Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions, and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel,
field office expenses, travel and entertainment, promotional expenses, and
advertising. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 3.4% to $1.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. Sales and marketing expenses represent 38.6% and
28.6% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.   General and administrative expenses
increased 89.2% to $1.5 million from $777,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase is primarily attributed to an
increase in allowance for doubtful accounts of $700,000 with respect to
collectibility risks associated with certain completed contracts. General and
administrative expenses represent 47.3% and 17.9% of total revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.   Product development expenses consist primarily of
salaries and other personnel-related expenses. Product development expenses
increased 35.7% to $1.6 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These increases are directly attributable
to personnel costs and associated infrastructure costs required to support
software development initiatives to expand and enhance the Company's core
software product offerings. Product development expenses represent 51.4% and
27.1% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company intends to continue to invest significant resources in
product development to enhance current and develop new software products to
increase competitiveness and increase revenues. To the extent the Company is
required to develop future applications without development contracts, the
Company's expenditures for product development may increase.

     Interest Income.   Interest income represents interest earned by the
Company on its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest
income decreased 19.3% to $109,000 from $135,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease is the result of lower average
cash, cash equivalents and investment balances for the three months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. 


     Provision for income taxes.   The Company did not record a provision for
income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

     REVENUES

     LICENSE.   License revenue is primarily derived from licenses of the
Company's CheckVision and RemitVision, software products. License revenue
decreased 37.3% to $2.0 million from $3.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of total revenues, license
revenues decreased to 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared
to 31.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in license
revenues resulted from deferrals of several expected orders.

     SERVICE.   Service revenue is comprised primarily of fees from software
application development contracts, and to a lesser extent, fees from
installation services and training for the Company's CheckVision and RemitVision
products. Service revenue decreased 30.0% to $4.0 million from $5.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in
service revenues primarily resulted from customer delays that affected revenue
recognition coupled with deferral of expected new contracts. As a percentage of
total revenues, service revenues decreased to 49.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to 54.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Service revenue as a percentage of total revenues will vary between periods due
to changes in demand for the Company's services and changes in the rate of
growth in license revenue.

     MAINTENANCE.   Maintenance revenue is generated primarily by software
support contracts to customers who have entered into license agreements for the
use of the Company's software products. Such contracts include telephone
support, minor software upgrades and, in some cases, third party support.
Maintenance revenue increased 32.6% to $2.1 million from $1.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of total
revenues, maintenance revenue increased to 25.6% for the six months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Maintenance revenue increased primarily due to the growing base of installed
CheckVision and RemitVision products resulting in corresponding increase in
demand for maintenance service. Accordingly, the Company believes that
fluctuations in the demand for its CheckVision and RemitVision products could
result in fluctuations of maintenance revenue.

     COST OF REVENUES

     LICENSE.   Cost of license revenue decreased 15.4% to $126,000 from
$149,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing 6.2% and 4.6% of license revenues for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in cost of license revenue resulted
from decreased royalties. The cost of license revenue as a percentage of license
revenue is expected to increase in the future if the Company's strategy of
increasing revenue from software products developed under software applications
framework development contracts is successful and associated royalties become
due.

     SERVICE.   Cost of service revenue is primarily comprised of employee-
related costs and fees for third party consultants incurred in providing
installation, training and development services. Cost of service revenue
increased 13.7% to $4.4 million from $3.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing 110.4% and 68.0% of service
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
increase in cost of service revenue during the six months ended June 30, 1998
was due primarily to an increase in accrued costs of $1.7 million with respect
to risks associated with specific contracts.

     MAINTENANCE.   Cost of maintenance revenue is primarily comprised of
employee-related costs incurred in providing customer support and also includes
the costs of services provided by third-parties for hardware-related maintenance
for certain of the installed base of customers. Cost of maintenance revenue
increased 79.2% to $1.2 million from $697,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, representing 60.5% and 44.8% of maintenance
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cost
of maintenance revenue increase resulted from increased demand for maintenance
services for a growing base of installed CheckVision products, and from higher
maintenance labor required to support recently completed development contracts.

     OPERATING EXPENSES

     SALES AND MARKETING.   Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of
salaries, commissions, and bonuses earned by sales and marketing personnel,
field office expenses, travel and entertainment, promotional expenses, and
advertising. Sales and marketing expenses remained constant at $2.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. Sales and marketing expenses represent 30.0%
and 22.9% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.   General and administrative expenses increased
60.5% to $2.2 million from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively.  The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in
allowance for doubtful accounts of $700,000 with respects to collectibility
risks associated with certain completed contracts.  General and administrative
expenses represent 27.2% and 13.1% of total revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.   Product development expenses consist primarily of
salaries and other personnel-related expenses. Product development expenses
increased 20.7% to $3.0 million from $2.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This increase is directly attributable to
personnel costs and associated infrastructure costs required to support software
development initiatives to expand and enhance the Company's core software
product offerings.  In particular, the Company's development expenditure
increases during 1998 have been driven by expenditures associated with the
unveiling of RemitVision Release 2.0 in July 1998, and by expenditures required
to enhance and expand its CheckVision product line. Product development expenses
represent 36.9% and 23.6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company intends to continue to invest
significant resources in product development to enhance current and develop new
software products to improve competitiveness and increase revenues. To the
extent the Company is required to develop future applications without
development contracts, the Company's expenditures for product development may
increase.

     INTEREST INCOME.   Interest income represents interest earned by the
Company on its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Interest
income decreased 16.9% to $221,000 from $266,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of a 
decrease in cash, cash equivalents and investment balances for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.   The Company did not record a provision for 
income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's operating activities provided cash of $41,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.4 million from cash used in
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997. For the six months
ended June 30, 1998, cash provided by operations was due principally to a
decrease in accounts receivable and increases in accruals and customer deposits.
The decrease in accounts receivable resulted from cash collections.  The
increase in customer deposits was primarily due to new and renewals of annual
maintenance agreements from customers.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's principal net use
of cash for investing activities included purchases and maturities of short-term
investments. Additionally, capital equipment expenditures totaled $192,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $327,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Capital expenditures consisted of purchases of computer
equipment to support the Company's product development programs. The Company
currently has no significant capital spending requirements or purchase
commitments other than a non-cancelable operating lease for its facilities.

     Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is
related to the proceeds from the exercise of common stock options by employees
and stock issuance under the employee stock purchase plan program.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had $10.2 in working capital, including $5.7
million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.4 million in short-term investments
consisting primarily of high quality commercial paper. The Company has a bank
line of credit agreement that expired in July 1998. The Company is under
discussions with the bank to extend the line of credit. Under the terms of the
credit agreement, the Company may borrow up to $2.0 million under a revolving
line of credit, which includes up to $500,000 in commercial letters of credit.
There were no borrowings under this line of credit for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997. Advances under the line of credit are limited to 80% of
eligible billed accounts receivable. Interest is payable at the bank's prime
rate plus 0.5% (9.0% at June 30, 1998). There were no restrictive financial
covenants under the bank line of credit agreement.

                                       10

     The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments, together with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to
fund the Company's operations for the next 12 months.

Risk Factors

     HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES; NO ASSURANCE OF PROFITABILITY.   The Company 
has incurred significant net losses since inception. At June 30, 1998, the 
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $17.0 million. The Company
has had operating profits only in the quarters ended March 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997, June 30, 1996, September 30, 1996 and 1997, and December 31,1996 and 1997.
There can be no assurance that the Company will have operating profits in future
quarters or on an annual basis.

     VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.   The Company's revenues and
operating results have varied in the past, and may continue to vary
significantly in the future. The Company's revenues and operating results are
difficult to forecast and could be materially adversely affected by many
factors, some of which are outside the control of the Company, including, among
others, the relatively long sales and implementation cycles of the Company's
software products, the variable size and timing of individual license
transactions, the timing of revenue recognized under the percentage-of-
completion method, increased competition, the timing of new product releases by
the Company and its competitors, market acceptance of the Company's software
products, delay or deferral of customer implementation of the Company's software
products, software defects or other quality problems with the Company's software
products, changes in the Company's and its competitors' pricing policies, the
mix of license and service revenue, budgeting cycles of the Company's customers,
the impact of the current consolidations in the banking industry which may slow
sale cycles, the introduction of indirect sales into the Company's revenue mix
which could result in lower gross margins, changes in operating expenses,
changes in Company strategy, personnel changes and general economic factors. In
addition, the Company is in the process of transitioning from providing software
development services to developing and selling software products, which entails
a number of risks, including potential declines in revenue and the need to
develop the appropriate sales, marketing and software production and
distribution infrastructure. Further, because the Company's orders range in size
from several hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars, any deferral
or cancellation of an expected new order, termination of, or delay in completion
of, an existing large application development contract may have a significant
impact on quarterly operating results. In addition, in the event of any downturn
in any potential customer's business or the economy in general, purchases of the
Company's software products may be deferred or canceled.  Further, as the Year
2000 approaches, many current and potential customers are focusing their
resources on the Year 2000 capability issues, which may further cause deferrals
or cancellations on their decision to purchase the Company's software products.

   Due primarily to hardware requirements and customer site preparation, there
is typically a three to four month period between when a CheckVision customer
order is placed and the commencement of the Company's installation services. The
Company has experienced a six-month to one-year installation period for
RemitVision. Installation of the Company's software products requires the
cooperation of the Company's customers. To the extent the installation of the
Company's software products is delayed, the Company's recognition of revenue may
be delayed, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition. In the past, the Company
has experienced product installation delays, which resulted in strained customer
relations, and, in one instance, a contract termination.  Similar situations in
the future could continue to have an adverse effect on the Company's operating
results and could also adversely effect the Company's ability to market its
products.  The Company's expense levels are based in part on its expectations of
future revenues. If revenue continues to be below expectations, net income may
be disproportionately affected because a significant portion of the Company's
expenses does not vary with revenues. The Company's future operating results
could continue to be adversely affected if 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
revenues do not meet the Company's expectations. The Company may also choose to
reduce prices, increase spending in response to competition or to pursue new
market opportunities. In particular, the Company's operating margins may
continue to be materially adversely affected in the future if new competitors,
technological advances by existing competitors, other competitive factors, or
the Company's failure to obtain software development contracts continue to
require the Company to invest significantly greater resources in software
product development efforts.

     Because of the foregoing factors, the Company believes that period-to-
period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and
that such comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future
performance. Further, it is possible that in future periods the Company's
operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and
investors. In such an event, the price of the Company's Common Stock would
likely be materially adversely affected. See "--Risks Associated with Transition
to Software Product Business," "--Dependence on Growth of Market for
Client/Server Applications Software in the Financial Services Industry," and "--
Lengthy Sales Cycle".

     RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSITION TO SOFTWARE PRODUCT BUSINESS.   Shortly
after the Company was formed in 1992, the Company shifted its strategy to focus
increasingly on deriving revenue from software products rather than from system
integration services. During the transition from providing software development
services to developing and selling software products, which is still under way,
a majority of the Company's total revenues had been derived from the provision
of services pursuant to large software development contracts, certain of which
provided the basis for the Company's software products. The Company recognizes
revenue from software development contracts on the percentage-of-completion
basis. Service revenue as a percentage of total revenues for 1997 and 1996 was
50.5% and 48.0%, respectively, and 49.2% and 54.1% for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. To achieve revenue growth and improve operating
margins, the Company must increase market acceptance and sales of the Company's
software products. As the Company has become increasingly reliant upon software
product sales, it could continue to experience a decline in total revenues if
service revenue continues to decline more quickly than the Company can increase
revenue from software product sales. The Company must develop and enhance its
sales and marketing capabilities and software production and distribution
infrastructure as it continues the transition from a service business to a
software product business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in creating the necessary capabilities and infrastructure. Any
significant failure by the Company to manage the transition successfully would
continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition and would continue to create significant
fluctuation in quarterly operating results.

     DEPENDENCE ON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.   Through 1997 the majority of the
Company's total revenues had been derived from large application development
contracts. The majority of these contracts are now complete, and the Company has
been unable to attract new customers to enter into such contracts while focusing
on sales of its software products. Furthermore, the Company has historically
used the research derived from its software development contracts as the basis
for its software products, and anticipates that any future software products
will arise from new software development contracts. To the extent that the
Company is unable to attract new customers to enter into such contracts, the
Company's ability to develop new software products will be materially adversely
affected. In addition, to the extent the Company is required to develop future
software products without software development contracts, the Company's
expenditures for software product development will continue to increase, which
may continue to materially adversely affect operating margins. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to attract new customers to enter into
software development contracts or that it will be able to develop new software
products based on the research undertaken in connection with new software
development contracts, and any such failure would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. To the
extent that the Company does develop new software products based upon technology
developed in connection with software development contracts, the Company may
have to expend substantial additional financial resources on software product
development, and there can be no assurance that such software products will

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
achieve market acceptance. In addition, upon commercialization of any such
software products, the Company has agreed under certain circumstances in the
past, and may in the future agree to pay royalties to repay development expenses
to the customer for whom the development services were undertaken, and any such
payments could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.

     RELIANCE ON BANKING INDUSTRY; Need to Penetrate Additional Segments of the
Financial Services Industry.  Currently, a substantial majority of the Company's
total revenue results from services and licenses provided to banks. The
Company's future operating results will depend in part on its ability to
penetrate additional segments of the financial services industry such as the
brokerage, insurance and credit card segments. While the Company may devote
substantial resources to penetrate these and other markets, there can be no
assurance that the revenues generated from this effort, if any, will exceed the
cost of such efforts. To be successful in expanding its product offerings to
market segments other than the banking industry, the Company will be required to
create new software products and to modify its existing software products. There
can be no assurance that it will be able to create or modify such software
products effectively or that such software products, if successfully created or
modified, will achieve market acceptance. To the extent that the Company is
unable to penetrate new markets, its future financial condition will be
dependent upon its ability to further penetrate the banking industry. The
current focus of the banking industry on mergers and on Year 2000 issues may
continue to impede the Company's ability to further penetrate this industry. If
the Company is unable to adapt its software products, or its sales and marketing
efforts to meet the needs of new markets, or if the Company is unsuccessful in
its efforts to further penetrate the banking industry, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected

     LENGTHY SALES CYCLE.    The Company's sales cycle is typically six to
twelve months and varies substantially from customer to customer. The Company
believes the purchase of its software products is discretionary and represents a
strategic decision requiring a significant capital investment by its customers.
As a result, purchase of the Company's software products generally involves a
significant commitment of management attention and resources by prospective
customers and requires multiple approvals. In addition, sale cycles could
continue to be impacted by current consolidations in the banking industry.
Accordingly, the Company's sales are subject to a long approval process. The
Company's business, operating results and financial condition have been in the
past, and could be in the future, materially adversely affected if customers
delay, reduce or cancel orders. Such delays, reductions or cancellations may
contribute to significant fluctuations of quarterly operating results in the
future and may adversely affect such results.

     CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION.   To date the Company has been highly dependent on
a concentrated customer base. In 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's two largest
customers provided 24%, 34% and 45% of the Company's total revenue,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, two customers provided 13%
and 10%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. For the six months ended
June 30, 1997, two customers provided 12% and 10%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. The Company's reliance on a concentrated base of
customers has been due primarily to the Company's dependence on large software
development contracts. The Company intends to continue to seek customer support
for strategic development projects that may yield additional software products
and expects that it may continue to experience a dependence on a few significant
customers for the foreseeable future. If the Company is unable to establish
relationships with additional significant customers and if the Company continues
to experience difficulties in increasing revenues derived from the sale of
software products as a percentage of total revenues, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition could continue to be materially
adversely affected.

     RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND DEPENDENCE ON NEW SOFTWARE PRODUCTS.  The
market for the Company's software products is characterized by rapid
technological developments, evolving industry standards and rapid changes in
customer requirements. The introduction of competitive software products
responding to these trends could render the Company's existing software products
obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, the Company's 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
success depends upon its ability to continue to enhance its existing software
products, respond to changing customer requirements and develop and introduce in
a timely manner new software products that keep pace with technological
developments and emerging industry standards. Customer requirements include, but
are not limited to, operability across distributed heterogeneous and changing
hardware platforms, operating systems, relational databases and networks. For
example, as more of the Company's customers start to utilize Microsoft NT or
adopt other emerging operating systems on server platforms, it may be necessary
for the Company to optimize the operation of the Company's software products on
such platforms in order to maintain its competitive ability. There can be no
assurance that the Company's software products will achieve market acceptance,
or will adequately address the changing needs of the marketplace, or that the
Company will be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to its
existing software products, or new software products incorporating new
technology on a timely basis. If the Company is unable to develop and introduce
new software products, or enhancements to existing software products, in a
timely manner to adequately address changing market conditions or customer
requirements, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition
will be materially adversely affected.

   The Company has a number of ongoing software development projects. The
Company expects to release enhancements to its CheckVision and RemitVision
products. The Company's objective is to increase the portion of the Company's
total revenues derived from these software products. There can be no assurance
the Company will release these enhancements in a timely manner or at all, or
that the features these enhanced software products include will be features
required to achieve market acceptance. The Company's product development
programs have been delayed in the past and the Company has experienced delays in
the development of RemitVision. The Company had lower than anticipated profits
due to delays in RemitVision contracts. The inability of the Company to complete
and successfully install upgraded versions of RemitVision would materially
adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition. The failure of the Company's software products to achieve broader
market acceptance and increased sales could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. See "-- Year
2000 Compliance".

     YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.   The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If the
Company's internal systems do not correctly recognize date information when the
year changes to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's
operations. The Company has completed an assessment and expects to purchase
enhanced software for its internal computer systems, which is expected to be
Year 2000 compliant. The new software is expected to be implemented by July 31,
1999. The Company is contacting its critical suppliers of products and services
to determine that such suppliers' operations and the products and services they
provide to the Company are Year 2000 capable. There can be no assurance that the
failure of one of the Company's suppliers to ensure appropriate Year 2000
capability would not have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company has also
assessed the capability of its products sold to customers and believes that the
likelihood of a material adverse impact due to contingencies related to the Year
2000 issue for the product it has sold is remote. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company's software products contain all necessary software for
Year 2000 compatibility. If any of the Company's licensees experience Year 2000
problems, such licensees could assert claims for damages against the Company.
Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of the
Company's resources, even if ultimately decided in favor of the Company. In
addition, many companies are expending significant resources to correct their
software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These expenditures may result in
reduced funds available to purchase new software products such as those offered
by the Company. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results from
operations.
