NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States for interim financial reporting and in accordance with Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial
statements contained in this report reflect all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, and the results of operations for the interim periods
presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements, footnote disclosures and other
information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
B. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the year, which includes the additional dilution related to
conversion of stock options as computed under the treasury stock method for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. Neither the outstanding stock options nor the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were included in the adjusted weighted
average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as the
effects of conversion were antidilutive.
The following table represents information necessary to calculate
earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

C. Initial Public Offering
In May 1999, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO")
of 5,002,500 shares of common stock which were sold at an offering price of
$8.00 per share. Also, in May 1999, the Company sold an additional 750,000
shares at $8.00 per share in a private placement to certain directors and
affiliates of other directors. The total net proceeds of the IPO and private
placement, net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were
approximately $42.2 million.
D. Comprehensive Income
There were no components of other comprehensive income for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Comprehensive income for such periods was
comprised solely of net income.
E. Preferred Stock Dividend
The preferred stock dividends in 1999 represent an accrual through
March 31, 1999 for dividends recognized prior to the IPO. As a result of the
IPO, all preferred stock was converted into common shares and the dividends were
forfeited and contributed to additional paid-in capital, meaning there was not
an outlay of cash for these dividends, nor will there be any future preferred
stock dividends awarded.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of technology-driven solutions that address
the problems faced by community banks in managing accounts receivable financing
provided to their small business customers. Our solution to these problems is
called Business Manager and is based on software, marketing services and online
electronic transaction processing. One element of this solution is our
proprietary software that enables our network of client banks to purchase
accounts receivable from their small business customers. The banks then process,
bill and track those receivables on an ongoing basis. As a major component of
our solution, we work with client banks to design, implement and manage the sale
of Business Manager accounts receivable financing services to their small
business customers. We also give our client banks the option of outsourcing to
us their application hosting and transaction processing through secure Internet
connections, thereby allowing them to receive accounts receivable information
and make funding decisions electronically.
We generate revenues from three main sources:
- royalties earned on client bank purchases of small business
accounts receivable.
- software license fees from new client banks.
- maintenance fees and other revenues, comprised primarily of
fees received for insurance brokerage services, paper-based
form sales, software maintenance, medical, leasing and
processing services.
There are two types of royalty fees. The first type is earned upon the
client bank's initial purchase of a small business' accounts receivable during
the first 30 days in our program. The second type is an ongoing royalty fee
earned from subsequent period purchases. Both types of fees are based on a
percentage of the receivables that a client bank purchases from its small
business customers during each month. The second type of fee is a smaller
percentage of the ongoing receivables purchased.
Software license fees consist of two components: the license fee and
customer training and support fee. These are one-time fees that we receive upon
the initial licensing of our Business Manager program to a community bank. Our
license agreements are executed with terms ranging from three to five years and
are renewable for subsequent terms. We recognize revenues from the license fee
at the time of initiation
8
<PAGE> 9
of the agreement and the customer training and support fee ratably over the
twelve-month service period subsequent to signing the license agreement.
Software license fees for new agreements range from approximately $5,000 to
$156,000 and are generally based on the asset size of the client bank.
Maintenance fees and other revenues include several ancillary products
and services we provide to client banks. Annual software maintenance fees are
generated from our client banks starting on the first anniversary date of the
Business Manager license agreement and annually thereafter. These revenues are
recognized ratably over a twelve month period beginning on the first anniversary
date of the agreement. Additionally, since 1995, we have brokered, through our
Private Business Insurance subsidiary, credit and fraud insurance products from
a national insurance company. We earn fees based on a percentage of the premium
that is paid to the insurance company. We also provide a standard set of forms
that client banks may purchase and use in the normal course of administering the
Business Manager program. Revenues related to these forms are recognized in the
period that they are shipped to the client bank. We offer processing services to
our client banks for an additional fee based on the volume of transactions
processed through the system. We have also developed some industry focused
applications for the medical and dental markets. In July of 1999, we introduced
a new equipment leasing program for use by small business customers where we
receive a commission on referred leasing transactions funded by a third-party
finance company.

<PAGE> 11
Royalties. Royalties for the first quarter of 2000 increased 8.8% to
$11.3 million compared to $10.4 million for 1999. The increase resulted from
additional funding through the Business Manager program, which was primarily a
result of an increase in the average amount funded per bank client. As a percent
of total revenue, royalties accounted for 84.3% for the first quarter of 2000
compared to 84.2% for 1999. Program funding for the first quarter of 2000
increased 9.3% to $1.5 billion compared to $1.3 billion for 1999.
Software license. Software license fees decreased 23.1% to $562,000 for
the first quarter of 2000 from $731,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of new software license
agreements entered into during the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. We
believe the decrease was due to a number of contributing factors, including our
recent focus on marketing more specifically to banks in targeted areas where we
wish to better penetrate the small business market, the fact that as we increase
our market penetration it becomes more difficult to add new license agreements
from the smaller universe of potential bank clients and increased competition.
Software license fees accounted for 4.2% of total revenue for the first quarter
of 2000 compared to 5.9% for the first quarter of 1999.
Maintenance and other. Maintenance and other fees increased 27.4% to
$1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $1.2 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to our
insurance and leasing products. Insurance fees increased 42.2% to $997,000 for
the first quarter of 2000 from $701,000 for 1999 primarily as a result of
increased participation by client banks and small businesses in our credit and
fraud insurance programs, while leasing, which began during the third quarter of
1999, contributed approximately $66,000 in new fees for the first quarter of
2000. Maintenance and other fees accounted for 11.5% of total revenue for the
first quarter of 2000 compared to 9.9% for the comparable period in 1999.
Total revenues. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased
8.7% to $13.5 million compared to $12.4 million for 1999. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased royalties and maintenance and other fees
which were partially offset by decreased software license fees.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses
increased 18.4% to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $3.4
million for the comparable period in 1999. General and administrative expenses
include the cost of our executive, finance, human resources, information
services, support services, administrative functions and general operations. The
increase was primarily due to certain administrative expenses, particularly
salaries and benefits, insurance and depreciation, increasing primarily as a
result of hiring additional executive management and support staff to support
our expanding client base, new directors and officers insurance as a result of
our IPO in May 1999 and our purchase of new computer hardware and software
products. This increase was partially offset by decreased bonus expenses. As a
percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses increased 2.4%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to 29.7% from 27.3% for the comparable
quarter in 1999.
11
<PAGE> 12
Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 8.8% to
$6.1 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $5.7 million for the
first quarter of 1999. Selling and marketing expenses include the cost of wages
and commissions paid to our dedicated business development and bank sales force,
travel costs of our sales force, recruiting for new sales and marketing
personnel and marketing fees associated with direct and telemarketing programs.
The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional sales staff,
increased commissions and travel expenses related to those additional sales
staff partially offset by decreased bonus expenses. We also provided additional
marketing programs and initiatives to our client banks. As a percentage of total
revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased slightly to 45.7% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to 45.6% for the first quarter of 1999.
Research and development. Research and development expenses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased approximately $225,000 or 115%, to
approximately $420,000 from approximately $195,000 for 1999. These costs include
the direct costs associated with developing new versions of the Business Manager
system. The increase is primarily due to additional staff being dedicated to the
research and development area as we continue to enhance our Business Manager
products. As a percent of total revenue, research and development expenses
increased to 3.1% for the first quarter of 2000 from 1.6% for 1999.
Amortization. Amortization expenses decreased 19.9% to approximately
$185,000 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to approximately $231,000 for
1999. These expenses include the cost of amortizing intangible assets including
trademarks, associated costs of goodwill and debt issuance costs. The decrease
is primarily due to decreased amortization expense related to debt issuance
costs. During the second quarter of 1999, we wrote off a portion of our
unamortized debt issuance costs related to the reduction of approximately $38.4
million in long-term debt using proceeds from our IPO and private placement in
May 1999 and cash from operations. As a percentage of total revenues,
amortization expenses decreased to 1.4% for the first quarter of 2000 from 1.9%
in 1999.
Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses increased 2.6% to
approximately $80,000 for the first quarter of 2000 from $78,000 for the same
quarter in 1999. Other operating expenses include property tax and other
miscellaneous costs associated with providing support and services to our client
banks.
Operating income. As a result of the above factors, our operating
income decreased approximately $216,000, or 7.6%, to $2.6 million for the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter of 1999. As a
percentage of total revenue, operating income decreased to 19.5% from 23.0% for
the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999, respectively.
12
<PAGE> 13
Interest expense. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2000
decreased approximately $587,000 to $1.3 million from $1.9 million in 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to the reduction of our long-term debt by
approximately $38.4 million in May 1999 using the proceeds from our IPO and
private placement.
Other, net. Other, net increased 197% to approximately $86,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $29,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 primarily as a result of increased interest income caused by having more
cash on hand during the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of
1999.
Income tax provision. The income tax provision was approximately
$547,000 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to approximately $405,000 for
the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of income before taxes, the income
tax provision was 39.1% for the first quarter of 2000 and 41.7% for the first
quarter of 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of capital have historically been cash provided by
operations and investment from stockholders. During the first three months of
2000 our operating activities used cash of $1.1 million while we expended $2.3
million in cash for investing activities primarily for purchases of furniture,
fixtures, equipment and software development. We expect that our cost of
purchases of property and equipment will continue as we prepare to move into our
new Technology and Business Service Center in May 2000 and as we expand our
processing and electronic commerce capabilities. We currently estimate that
total capital expenditures for 2000 will be approximately $6.0 million of which
approximately $4.5 million is directly related to our new service center.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $1.9 million for the first
three months of 2000, which consisted of repayments of long-term debt partially
offset by proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.
On May 26, 1999 we completed our IPO and private placement of our
common stock. We issued 5,002,500 shares in the IPO and 750,000 shares in the
private placement at an offering price of $8.00 per share. As a result of the
IPO, all preferred stock and dividends accrued on the preferred stock were
converted into common shares. The net proceeds of approximately $42.2 million
were primarily used to pay down a portion of the term loans and revolver under
our credit facility.
In April of 1999, we entered into an agreement to sell a plot of land
adjacent to our headquarters for $1.4 million, consisting of a note receivable
of approximately $1.0 million and $391,000 in cash, in a sale-leaseback
transaction. A building is currently under construction which will house our new
Technology and Business Service Center. The actual sale of the land will be
recorded upon the completion of the construction project which is expected to be
May 2000.
13
<PAGE> 14
The credit facility includes term loans with balances as of March 31,
2000 of $20.2 million and $31.2 million, and also provides for a revolving line
of credit in the amount of $15.0 million, including a $3.0 million sublimit for
swing line advances and a $2.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit.
There was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit at March 31,
2000. The credit facility bears interest in accordance with a grid pricing
formula based on the achievement of various financial ratios. The formula calls
for advances to bear interest ranging from 1.00% to 2.50% above prime rate or
2.25% to 3.75% above the Eurodollar rate.
The $20.2 million loan is generally repayable in quarterly installments
which increase annually from $590,000 beginning December 31, 1999 to $1.5
million beginning December 31, 2003 until maturity (August 7, 2004). The $31.2
million loan is repayable in equal quarterly installments of $74,000 until
December 31, 2004, at which time the required quarterly payments increase to
$3.3 million until December 31, 2005 and $4.4 million until maturity (August 7,
2006). The revolver bears an annual commitment fee and matures August 7, 2004.
As of March 31, 2000, we had $20.2 million outstanding at 9.44%, $31.2 million
outstanding at 9.94%, and no outstanding letters of credit.
The credit facility is secured by a pledge of all of our assets and
imposes financial covenants and requirements on us and contains limitations on
our ability to sell material assets, redeem capital stock and pay dividends,
among other actions.
As of March 31, 2000, we had working capital of approximately $147,000
compared to approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 1999. The change in
working capital resulted primarily from decreases in short-term borrowings,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by decreases in
accounts receivable. We believe that future operating cash flows will be
sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for
the next twelve months.
We may, in the future, acquire businesses or products complementary to
our business, although we cannot be certain that any such acquisitions will be
made. The need for cash to finance additional working capital or to make
acquisitions may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing. We cannot
be certain that such financing will be available, or that our need for higher
levels of working capital will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
This interim report contains several "forward-looking statements"
concerning our operations, prospects, strategies and financial condition,
including its future economic performance, intent, plans and objectives, and the
likelihood of success in developing and expanding its business. These statements
are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are subject to
significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Words such as
"may," "would," "could," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"

"believe," "intend," "plan," and "estimate" are meant to identify such
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, and include, among other factors, the timely
development and market acceptance of products and technologies and competitive
market conditions.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our
results of operation. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will
not be affected by inflation in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in
interest rates based on our financing and cash management activities. Our
exposure relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations which expire in
2004 and 2006. In the event that interest rates associated with these debt
obligations were to increase 100 basis points, the annual impact on future cash
flows would be approximately $514,000.
