FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
National Data Corporation (the "Company") has announced its plan to spin-off its
eCommerce business segment, encompassed in the newly formed Global Payments Inc.
subsidiary, into a separate publicly traded company with its own management and
Board of Directors to permit it to increase focus on its core businesses. This
spin-off is planned to be completed January 31, 2001. As a result of the pending
spin-off, the Company's financial statements have been prepared with Global
Payments' net assets, results of operations, and cash flows displayed separately
as "discontinued operations", and all historical financial statements presented
have been restated to conform to this presentation, in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations".
National Data Corporation's healthcare information business segment will be the
remaining stand-alone business after the spin-off. Accordingly, subsequent to
the spin-off, National Data Corporation will do business as NDCHealth.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2000 the Company decided to pursue the
divestiture of its management services business and, subsequently, to place
this business into a discontinued operations category in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. All prior periods have been restated
to reflect the discontinued operations accounting treatment. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of the management
services business.
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. In addition, certain
reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2000 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000.
In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows for the interim periods presented.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported net earnings available
to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing reported net earnings
available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding during
the period and the impact of securities that, if exercised, and convertible
debt, if converted, would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. All
options with an exercise price less than the average market share price for the
period have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (in
thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES:
During the last 24 months, we completed a significant strategy review and
implemented a plan to focus on our core products and services. As a result, the
last two years represented a major transition period for our company. This
included management evaluating, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000,
the Company's current product and service offerings in light of changing market
and technological environments. The decision was made to focus management
attention on the core point of service systems, intelligent network, and
information management and related Internet initiatives. Accordingly, actions
were initiated to eliminate non-core as well as obsolete and redundant product
and service offerings. In addition, the Company accelerated clearing house
integration, consolidation of locations, and associated staff and expense
reductions. Total restructuring and asset impairment charges during the second
quarter of fiscal year 2000 were $34.4 million. Of this total, approximately
$10.5 million were cash items that were accrued at the time the charges were
incurred. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we also disclosed
that we would have additional restructuring and other unusual charges of up to
$10 million in the next twelve months.
Of this projected $10 million in additional charges, the Company incurred $2.2
million of restructuring and impairment charges during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 as these actions were finalized and implemented. Of this total,
approximately $1.2 million were cash items that were accrued at the time the
charges were incurred. These cash items include severance and related costs of
$1.1 million and facility exit costs of $0.1 million. The severance and related
costs arise from the Company's actions to reduce personnel staffing in areas of
redundant operations and activities. These charges reflect 58 specifically
identified executives and employees who were informed of their termination
during the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The costs relating to facilities
relate to a location that was closed during the quarter. The remaining $1.0
million impairment charge was the result of the write down and divestiture of a
non-core operation.
As of November 30, 2000, $3.6 million of the cash portion of the restructuring
charges remains accrued as a current liability and $0.4 million is accrued as a
long-term liability in the respective liabilities sections of the balance sheet
as follows:

NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 20, 1999, the Company announced its intention to spin-off its
eCommerce business segment, encompassed in the newly formed Global Payments Inc.
subsidiary. This spin-off was contingent on receiving a favorable opinion from
outside counsel regarding the tax-free status of the dividend. On November 15,
2000 the Company received a favorable opinion from counsel based on an IRS
ruling and intends to complete the spin-off on January 31, 2001. The spin-off
will be accomplished by distributing all of the shares of common stock of Global
Payments to NDC stockholders. NDC stockholders will receive 0.8 share of Global
Payments Inc. common stock for each share of NDC common stock held as of the
January 19, 2001 record date. Please see Note 7 for further details concerning
the spin-off of Global Payments Inc.
As a result of the pending spin-off, the Company's November 30, 2000 financial
statements have been prepared with Global Payments' net assets, results of
operations, and cash flows displayed separately as "discontinued operations",
and all historical financial statements presented have been restated to conform
to this presentation, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". During the second quarter of fiscal
2001, the Company recorded an expense of $10.0 million to reflect the net costs
associated with effecting the spin-off ($8.7 million after tax, or $0.27 per
share). These costs include legal and investment banker fees, severance, and
duplicate software licenses, and other related costs partially offset by the
projected income for Global Payments for the period from the measurement date
through January 31, 2001.
Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company took action on a
formal plan to divest its management services business. Thus, the decision was
made to divest this business area and account for it as discontinued operations
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The Company
successfully completed the sale of this management services business for total
cash consideration of $20 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
The operating results of the discontinued operations for the three and six
months ended November 30, 2000 and November 30, 1999 are summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our
results, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of NDCHealth and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this report.
NDCHealth provides high volume, network based information solutions and point
of service systems to the healthcare industry. Our products and services include
electronic claims processing, eligibility, claims adjudication and payment
systems, provision of administrative and clinical services, database information
reporting on prescription drug sales and pharmacy operations, consulting
services, and practice management systems. We provide products and services to
pharmacies, physicians, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, managed care
organizations, payers, government healthcare agencies, distributors, clinics,
Internet portals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and other healthcare providers
and those who serve them and who have need for our services.
We serve a diverse customer base comprised of more than 180,000 physicians,
ninety percent of the pharmacies in North America and greater than thirty
percent of the pharmacies in the United Kingdom, more than twenty percent of the
nation's hospitals, over 100 pharmaceutical manufacturers and over 1,000 health
care payers. In addition, we are in the early phases of entering the German and
U.K. information markets. We believe that our presence in the multiple
pharmacy, managed care organization, physician, hospital, pharmaceutical
manufacturer, and healthcare payer markets is broader than any other similar
healthcare information company and provides us with a strong competitive
advantage.

Consolidated Results
The non-GAAP financial statement below discloses the NDC consolidated
results prior to the effect of accounting for the spin-off of Global Payments
and certain unusual items described below.
Because the effect of the spin-off of Global Payments is excluded, spin-off
expenses of $8.7 million are not included in the fiscal 2001 results below.
Additionally, the financial statement below excludes restructuring and
impairment charges ($2.2 million and $34.4 million in fiscal 2001 and 2000
respectively), unusual Operating Expenses of $11.1 million in fiscal 2000 and
the gain of $2.3 million on the divestiture of a dental systems business in
fiscal 2000.

Results of Operations
On December 20, 1999, we announced our intention to split into two
independent, publicly traded companies by spinning off our Global Payments
subsidiary. We expect the spin-off to be completed on January 31, 2001. As a
result of the pending spin-off, National Data Corporation's healthcare
information business segment will be the remaining stand-alone business and will
do business as NDCHealth. In light of the pending spin-off, the NDCHealth
November 30, 2000 financial statements have been prepared with Global Payments'
net assets, results of operations, and cash flows displayed separately as
"discontinued operations", and all historical financial statements presented
have been restated to conform to this presentation in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations".
During the last 24 months, we completed a significant strategy review and
implemented a plan to focus on our core products and services. As a result, the
last two years represented a major transition period for our company. As a part
of that plan, we determined to divest our management services business in the
third quarter of fiscal 2000. The sale of this management services business was
completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This business is also accounted
for as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 30.
The remainder of the results of operations excludes these discontinued
operations.
During the last year, we have also eliminated non-core as well as obsolete
and redundant product and service offerings. In addition, we accelerated
clearing house integration, consolidation of locations and associated staff and
expense reductions. Total charges related to restructuring and asset impairment
were $34.4 million during the first half of fiscal 2000.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, management also evaluated certain
significant business risks related to recent acquisitions and those locations
that were closed as part of the strategic review, including bankrupt accounts
and customer disputes. As a result of this review, unusual expenses were
recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as follows: accounts receivable
write-off of $8.0 million; bad debt allowance increases of $2.0 million;
litigation settlement expenses of $1.3 million; and write-off of $0.8 million of
prepaid expenses and recording of $1.2 million of accrued expenses.
Approximately $2.2 million of these unusual expenses were related to the
management services operation and are reflected in the results of the
discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the first half of fiscal
2000 include approximately $45.5 million of charges related to restructuring and
asset impairment ($34.4 million) and other unusual expenses ($11.1 million).
These unusual expenses are included in the Sales, General and Administrative
expenses ($9.2 million) and Cost of Service ($1.9 million).
At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000, we disclosed that we would
have additional restructuring and other unusual charges of up to $10 million in
the next twelve months. In the second quarter of fiscal 2001, both our Salt
Lake City and Cleveland operations were closed. We also wrote down and divested
a software operation. Therefore, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, $2.2
million of restructuring and impairment charges are reflected. These actions
essentially complete all of the programs identified in our strategic review.
Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we merged our
Pharmacy Systems business activity with TechRx Incorporated to leverage the
combined product development and distribution of both our systems to the
pharmacy market. In order to provide more meaningful comparisons, revenue from
these divested businesses is detailed below.

restructuring and impairment charges. This statistic and its results as a
percentage of revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies. However, management believes this statistic is a
relevant measurement and provides a comparable cash earnings measure by
excluding the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, potential
timing differences associated with capital expenditures and the related
depreciation charges, restructuring and impairment charges. EBITDA is detailed

Revenue
Revenue, net of divested operations, increased to $83.5 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001, a 17.3% increase from the prior year's second
quarter revenue of $71.2 million and a 4% sequential increase from revenue of
$80.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. These increases were the
result of growth in customer base and increased transaction volumes from
existing customers in our continuing areas of business in addition to new
revenue from recently acquired businesses that have been integrated with our
existing operations. Total GAAP reported revenue, including divested businesses,
for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was $83.7 million, a decrease of $1.3
million, or 2%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This decrease was the
result of realizing only partial quarter revenues for the divested operations in
the current year compared to full quarter revenues in the prior year.
Revenue, net of divested operations, increased by 15% to $163.7 million in
the first half of fiscal 2001 from $142.3 million in the prior year's first half
due to the same factors described above. Total revenue for the first half of
fiscal 2001 declined 1% to $169.5 million from $170.7 million in the
17
<PAGE>
prior year's first half. This decrease was the result of realizing fewer months
revenues for the divested operations in the current year compared to the prior
year's first half.
Operating Expenses
Cost of service as a percentage of revenue decreased to 59% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 from 63% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This
decrease was due primarily to cost reductions realized as a result of
restructuring actions undertaken during the past year, and increased leverage of
our infrastructure from increased transaction volume and the unusual expenses
($1.9 million) in the prior year. The absolute dollars of Cost of service
decreased $4.6 million (9%) in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
Cost of service as a percentage of revenue was 59% in the first half of
fiscal 2001 compared to 61% in the first half of fiscal 2000 with absolute
dollar spending declining $4.8 million, or 5%, as compared to the prior year.
These decreases were due to the same factors described above.
Sales, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") decreased $9.6 million
(33%) in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from the same period last year. This
was due primarily to the unusual expenses ($9.2 million) in the prior year's
second quarter described in Results of Operations above. Excluding these unusual
expenses, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 23% for the second quarter
of both fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000.
SG&A expense decreased to $40.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2001
from $48.2 million for the first half of fiscal 2000. This was due primarily to
the unusual expenses ($9.2 million) in the prior year's first half described
above and expenses in the current year in preparation for the pending spin-off
of Global Payments. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was 24% for the
first half of fiscal 2001 compared to 23% for the prior year's first half
excluding the unusual expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income increased to $12.8 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 from an operating loss of $32.3 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000. Excluding the unusual charges in fiscal 2000 and restructuring and
impairment charges in fiscal 2001 and 2000 described above, operating income
increased to $14.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $13.2
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Excluding these charges, as a
percentage of revenue, the operating income margin increased to 17.9% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 from 15.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
This increase was due primarily to the decreased Cost of service margins
described above. Excluding the restructuring and impairment charges in the
current quarter, operating income increased 5% sequentially to $14.9 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $14.2 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenue, the operating income margin excluding
the restructuring and impairment charges improved to 17.9% in the second quarter
of fiscal 2001 from 16.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. This margin
improvement is due to the reduced Cost of service margins described above.
Operating income increased to $27.0 million for the first half of fiscal
2001 from an operating loss of $16.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2000.
Excluding the unusual expenses in fiscal 2000 and restructuring and impairment
charges in fiscal 2001 and 2000 described above, operating income increased to
$29.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2001 from $29.0 million for the first
half of fiscal 2000. Excluding these charges, as a percentage of revenue, the
operating income margin was 17% in the first half of both fiscal 2001 and fiscal
2000.
18
<PAGE>
EBITDA
EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $13.5 million, or
134%, to $23.6 million from $10.1 million in the prior year due to the unusual
expenses ($11.1 million) in fiscal 2000 and operating income margin improvement
described above. The EBITDA margin percentage was 28% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, compared to 25% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 excluding the
unusual charges. EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $1.2
million sequentially from the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The EBITDA margin
percentage was 28% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 26% in the
prior quarter.
EBITDA for the first half of fiscal 2001 increased by $12.0 million, or
35%, to $46.0 million from $34.0 million in the prior year's first half due to
the unusual expenses ($11.1 million) in fiscal 2000 described above. Excluding
the unusual charges the EBITDA margin percentage was 27% in the first half of
fiscal 2001, compared to 26% in the first half of fiscal 2000.
Other Expense
Total other expense increased $2.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily
the result of a net gain recorded on the sale of our dental systems business
offsetting expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
Total other expense increased $4.2 million for the first half of fiscal
2001 compared to the first half of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily the
result of net gains recorded on the sale of marketable securities and our dental
systems business in the first half of fiscal 2000.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow generated from operations provides us with a significant source
of liquidity to meet our needs. At November 30, 2000, we had cash and cash
equivalents totaling $7.3 million. Net cash provided by operating activities
increased 154% to $37.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared
to $14.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 primarily due to
increased net income and changes in income taxes, partially offset by increases
in prepaids and other assets. The change in income taxes is due to the loss on
the disposal of the management services discontinued operations. These losses
were not deductible for tax purposes until the business was divested. During
fiscal 2001, we completed the sale of these discontinued operations; therefore,
the previously non-deductible reserves are deductible for tax purposes and will
decrease the amount of income taxes payable favorably impacting cash flow. The
increase in prepaids and other assets primarily relates to increases in non-
trade receivables related to our recent investments, alliances and divestitures.
Net cash used in investing activities was $37.2 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 compared to $20.3 million for the first six months of
fiscal 2000. This increase is primarily due to capital expenditures of $20.5
million, business acquisitions of $23.2 million and investments of $13.5 million
partially offset by $20.0 million in proceeds received from the divestiture of
the management services business. We continue to invest in capital expenditures
related to growth in our business and acceleration of certain strategic
initiatives. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2001, an agreement
was reached to merge our pharmacy systems business activity with TechRx
Incorporated. As part of this agreement, we exchanged existing assets,
liabilities and cash for our investment interest in TechRx.
Net cash used in financing activities increased to $16.7 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 from $11.3 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2000. The net effect of the payments and borrowings against the lines of
credit is $11.5 million in payments for the first six months of fiscal 2001
compared to $33.0 million in borrowings for the first six months of fiscal 2000.
Principal payments under capital lease arrangements and other long-term debt
decreased $3.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 from the first
six months of fiscal 2000 due primarily to reduced capital lease activity.
Dividends of $4.9 million and $5.0 million were paid during the first six months
of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.
We have a $125.0 million revolving line of credit that will terminate at
the time of the spin-off of Global Payments. This includes a committed,
unsecured $110.0 million revolving line of credit and a $15.0 million line of
credit to fund working capital requirements. At November 30, 2000, there was
$57.0 million outstanding under the committed, unsecured line of credit.
Based upon the relative financial conditions, results of operations and
prospects of NDCHealth and Global Payments, NDC determined that $96.1 million
would be an appropriate allocation to Global Payments of the existing NDC debt
at May 31, 2000. For the six months ended November 30, 2000 Global Payments made
net repayments of $35.9 million, thereby reducing this $96.1 million due to
NDCHealth to $60.2 million as of November 30, 2000. At the date of the spin-off,
Global Payments Inc. will make a net cash payment to NDCHealth equal to $60.2
million adjusted for the net cash contributions of eCommerce operations and the
spin-off costs between December 1, 2000 and the actual date of the distribution.
We will use the proceeds from this cash payment to make payments against the
outstanding balance under the current line of credit.
Additionally, we have a commitment for a new credit facility providing a
$50 million revolving line of credit. This credit facility will become effective
upon completion of the spin-off and will be available for working capital and
general corporate purposes after the spin-off. The facility will have a
20
<PAGE>
one-year term, with the option for NDCHealth to convert any outstanding
borrowings at the maturity date to a term loan repayable at the first
anniversary of the initial maturity date. We believe that our current level of
cash and borrowing capacity, along with future cash flows from operations, are
sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations and our planned
requirements for the foreseeable future. We regularly evaluate cash
requirements for current operations, commitments, development activities and
strategic acquisitions. We may elect to raise additional funds for these
purposes, either through the issuance of additional debt or equity or otherwise,
as appropriate.
Net cash provided by discontinued operations was $21.8 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2001 compared to $20.7 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2000.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
There have been no significant changes in NDCHealth's market risk from that
disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2000.
Forward Looking Results of Operations
For the year ended May 31, 2000, NDCHealth reported revenue of $345
million. This revenue included $56 million associated with businesses divested
in the past 15 months. Excluding these revenues from the reported fiscal 2000
amounts, our revenue would have been $289 million. By implementing our revised
strategy previously discussed, and excluding these divested businesses from both
fiscal 2000 and 2001 results, we expect to generate annual revenue growth from
$289 million in fiscal 2000 to $330 - $335 million in fiscal 2001.
We expect that our basic earnings per share for the fiscal year ending May
31, 2001, excluding discontinued operations, restructuring and impairment
charges, and the results of the businesses divested in the past fifteen months,
will be in the range of $1.00, plus or minus two percent. The Global Payments
spin-off must be completed in order to compute dilution resulting from our
outstanding options and convertible debentures. Prior to that time, we are
unable to compute a range of fully diluted earnings per share.
