Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six month period ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the consolidated
audited financial statements included in exhibit 99 of the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998. The balance sheet does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior period consolidated financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.
Restatement for Poolings
The historical financial information presented in this Form 10-Q has been re-
stated to include the results of Electronic Payment Services, Inc. ("EPS"). EPS
was acquired in a pooling-of-interests transaction, and in accordance with
pooling-of-interests method of accounting, no adjustments have been made to the
historical carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of EPS. However, the
financial information has been restated to include the operating results of EPS
for all stated periods prior to the combination.
On February 18, 1999, the stockholders approved the Company's issuance of shares
in connection with its acquisition of EPS. The Company completed the merger with
EPS on February 26, 1999 by exchanging 30,064,835 shares of the Company's common
stock for all of the outstanding common stock of EPS. EPS provides transaction
processing services to financial institutions and retailers throughout the
United States. EPS also owns and operates electronic data processing and
data-capture networks that process transactions originating at ATMs and
point-of-sale terminals.

Comprehensive Income
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the
adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or
stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the
Company's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported
separately in stockholders' equity to be included in other comprehensive income.
Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
requirements of SFAS No. 130.
Total comprehensive income was $23,188 and $21,338 for the three months ended,
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total comprehensive income, in thousands,
was $19,441 and $38,823 for the six months ended, June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Excluding acquisition costs and restructuring charges described in management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, basic
and diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 were
$0.41 and $0.40, respectively.
Earnings per share and related per share data have been restated to reflect all
stock splits.
Operations By Industry Segment
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for reporting
financial information about operating segments in annual and interim financial
statements. SFAS No. 131 requires that financial information be reported on the
same basis that is reported internally for evaluating segment performance and
allocating resources to segments. SFAS No. 131 addresses how supplemental
financial information is disclosed in annual and interim reports; therefore, its
adoption in 1998 had no impact on the financial condition or operating results
of the Company.
Concord has two reportable segments: Merchant Services and ATM Services.
Merchant Services results from processing credit card transactions for all major
credit card brands including VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and
Diners Club; the processing of debit card transactions for financial
institutions issuing these and similar cards; and the provision of electronic
payment services to supermarket chains and multiple lane retailers, financial
institutions, petroleum and convenience stores, grocery stores, trucking
companies and other retailers.
ATM Services include transactional fee income and surcharge revenue from ATMs
owned by the Company as well as ATM transaction processing for ATMs owned by the
Company's merchants.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or
loss from operations. Items classified as "Other" include revenue not
identifiable with the two reportable segments described above and costs of
operations and selling, general and administrative expenses which are not
allocated to the reportable segments.
No single customer of the Company accounts for a material portion of the
Company's revenues.
Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior period consolidated financial
information to conform with the current year presentation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements which may
constitute "forward-looking" information, within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of
1934, as amended. Any such statements are not guarantees for future performance
and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially
from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
forward-looking statements include (i) the loss of key personnel or inability to
attract additional qualified personnel, (ii) the failure to fully integrate the
operations of Electronic Payment Services, (iii) changes in card association
rules, (iv) changes in card association fees, (v) restrictions on surcharging or
a decline in the deployment of automated teller machines, (vi) dependence on
VISA and MasterCard registrations, (vii) the credit risk of merchant customers,
(viii) susceptibility to fraud at the merchant level, (ix) the failure of the
Company, its vendors or its customers to appropriately manage Year 2000 code
problems, (x) increasing competition, (xi) the success of a new VISA debit card
product, (xii) the loss of key customers, (xiii) continued consolidation in the
banking and retail industries, (xiv) risks related to acquisitions, (xv) changes
in rules and regulations governing financial institutions, (xvi) the inability
to remain current with rapid technological change, (xvii) dependence on
third-party vendors, (xviii) the imposition of additional state taxes, (xix)
volatility of the Company's common stock price and (xx) changes in interest
rates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking
statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated
events or changes to future results over time.
Recent Acquisitions
On February 26, 1999 the Company completed its acquisition of EPS, a company
which provides transaction processing services to financial institutions and
retailers throughout the United States. The acquisition was accounted for as a
pooling of interests in which the Company exchanged 30.1 million of its shares
for all of the outstanding common stock of EPS. The Company incurred $34.8
million of expenses related to the acquisition in the first quarter of 1999.
These expenses included communication conversion costs, advisory fees and asset
write-offs. Management continues to review potential operational synergies from
the acquisition, such as duplicate facilities, computer hardware and software
and other contractual relationships.
Restatement for Pooling
The historical financial information presented in this Form 10-Q has been
restated to include the results of EPS. In accordance with pooling-of- interests
method of accounting, no adjustments have been made to the historical carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities of EPS. However, the financial information has
been restated to include the operating results of EPS for all stated periods
prior to the combination.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Overview
Concord EFS, Inc. (the "Company") is a fully integrated leading provider of
electronic transaction authorization, processing, settlement and funds transfer
services on a nationwide basis. The Company focus on marketing its services to
supermarket chains and multiple lane retailers, financial institutions,
petroleum and convenience stores, grocery stores, the trucking industry and
other retailers. The Company's primary activity is Merchant Services, in which
it provides integrated electronic transaction services for credit card, debit
card and electronic benefits transfer ("EBT") card transactions. These
transaction services include data capture, authorization and settlement services
for over 400,000 point-of-sale terminals. The Company also provides automated
teller machine ("ATM") Services, consisting of owning and operating the MAC-
branded electronic funds transfer network and processing for approximately
35,000 ATMs nationwide, of which it owns approximately 1,000.
The substantial majority of the Company's revenue (68.7% in the second quarter
of 1999 and 66.5% in the second quarter of 1998) is generated from fee income
related to Merchant Services. These services include:
- -- the processing of credit card transactions for all major credit card brands
including VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club;
- -- the processing of debit card transactions for financial institutions
issuing these and similar cards; and
- -- the provision of electronic payment services to supermarket chains and
multiple lane retailers, financial institutions, petroleum and convenience
stores, grocery stores, trucking companies and other retailers.
Revenue from Merchant Services includes primarily discount fees charged to
merchants, which are a percentage of the dollar amount of each credit card
transaction the Company processes, as well as a flat fee per transaction. The
discount fee is negotiated with each merchant and typically constitutes a
bundled rate for the transaction authorization, processing, settlement and funds
transfer services we provide. This revenue and fees from other transactions are
recognized at the time the merchants' transactions are processed.
The other principal component of the Company's revenue derives from ATM Services
(approximately 29.3% in the second quarter of 1999 and 31.7% in the second
quarter of 1998). ATM Services revenue consists of fee income and other
surcharges charged for proprietary ATMs and processing fees for third party
ATMs. The balance of the Company's revenue is derived principally from check
verification and authorization services, sales of point-of-sale terminals and
payroll processing services.
Cost of operations includes all costs directly attributable to the provision of
services to the Company's customers. The most significant component of cost of
operations includes interchange and assessment fees, which are amounts charged
-12-
<PAGE>
CONCORD EFS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Overview - continued
by the credit and debit card associations. Interchange and assessment fees are
billed primarily as a percentage of dollar volume processed and, to a lesser
extent, as a per-transaction fee. Cost of operations also includes
telecommunications costs, occupancy costs, depreciation, the cost of equipment
leased and sold, the cost of operating the Company's MAC network and other
miscellaneous merchant supplies and services expenses.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and
wages, other general administrative expenses (including certain amortization
costs).
Results of Operations
Revenue increased 24.7% to $193.7 million in the second quarter of 1999 from
$155.3 million in the second quarter of 1998. Of 1999 revenue, merchant
services, ATM services and other services accounted for 68.7%, 29.3% and 2.0%,
respectively of revenue. Revenue from merchant services, increased 28.9%, due
primarily to increased transactional volumes. Increased volumes resulted from
the addition of new merchants, the widening acceptance of debit and EBT card
transactions at new and existing merchants and higher credit card transaction
processing fees. The increase in fees was a pass through to customers of higher
interchange processing fees that were assessed by the credit card associations
in April 1998 and April 1999. ATM services revenue increased 15.4%; the
placement of new ATMs, new ATM processing customers and increases in
transactional volumes accounted for the increase. Other revenue increased 38.7%
due to increased terminal sales primarily to our new merchants.
Cost of operations increased in the second quarter of 1999 to 70.9% of revenue
compared to 70.4% in the prior year. Credit card association interchange fees
and certain other transactional related costs were higher as a percentage of
revenue in the second quarter of 1999 than in the same period of 1998. This was
largely offset by a decrease, as a percentage of revenue, in payroll expenses
and other operating expenses.
Net income as a percentage of revenue was 15.1% and 13.7% in the second quarter
of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in cost of operations as a
percentage of revenue described above, was offset by selling, general and
administrative expenses, net interest income and income taxes improvements as a
percentage of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
unchanged at $12.6 million in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998 as increased
salaries and wages were offset by lower legal costs. Net interest income
improved from $0.2 million in the second quarter of 1998 to $1.9 million in the
second quarter of 1999 as available cash from operations was invested in
securities available for sale and debt was repaid. The effective tax rate
dropped from 36.6% in the second quarter of 1998 to 36.0% in the second quarter
of 1999 which also improved net income as a percentage of revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenue increased 25.5% to $364.0
million from $289.9 million. Of 1999 revenue, merchant services, ATM services
and other services accounted for 67.4%, 30.0% and 2.6%, respectively of revenue.
Revenue from merchant card services, increased 29.0%, due primarily to increased
transactional volumes. Increased volumes resulted from the addition of new
merchants, the widening acceptance of debit and EBT card transactions at new and
existing merchants and higher credit card transaction processing fees. The
increase in fees was a pass through to customers of higher interchange
processing fees that were assessed by the credit card associations in April 1998
and April 1999. ATM services revenue increased 15.7%; the placement of new ATMs,
new ATM processing customers and increases in transactional volumes accounted
for the increase. Other revenue increased 77.4% due to increased terminal sales
primarily to our new merchants.
Net income as a percentage of revenue was 7.3% and 13.3% in the six months ended
of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The primary factor in the change was the
acquisition expenses and restructuring charges incurred in the first quarter of
1999 in connection with the acquisition of EPS. The total pretax charges were
$34.8 million. No additional acquisition expenses or restructuring charges were
incurred in the second quarter of 1999. For a detailed explanation of the pretax
expenses and charges please see the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999.
The pretax expenses and charges incurred in the first quarter and remaining
reserve balances, in millions, are summarized as follows:

In addition to the pre-tax charges, a tax component write off of $1.3 million
for impaired state tax net operating losses of EPS was incurred. Combined with
the non-tax deductibility of certain acquisition costs, these items increased
income taxes as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Excluding the $34.8 million in restructuring charges and acquisition expenses
described above, cost of operations increased in the six months ended of 1999
from 70.9% of revenue compared to 70.5% in the same period of the prior year.
Credit card association interchange fees and certain other transactional related
costs were higher as a percentage of revenue during the six months ended June
30, 1999 than in the same period of 1998. This was largely offset by a decrease,
as a percentage of revenue, in payroll expenses, depreciation and amortization
and other operating expenses.
Excluding the restructuring charges and acquisition expenses, net income as a
percentage of revenue increased to 14.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
from 13.3% in the same period of the prior year. The primary factors for the
improvement were selling, general and administrative expenses declining to $24.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $25.7 million in the same
period of the prior year offset by the increase in cost of operations as a
percentage of revenue, described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the six months ended June 30 1999, the Company generated $91.4 million from
operating activities. The Company also received $7.0 million in proceeds from
notes payable, $207.8 from an offering of stock, and $14.3 million from stock
issued from exercises of options under the Company's stock option plans. From
cash provided from operating and financing activities, $61.5 million was
invested in securities, net of sales and maturities, $25.0 million was disbursed
on capital additions, $7.8 million was spent to purchase merchant contracts,
long-term debt was reduced by $125.1 million, and short-term borrowings of $21.0
million were paid off. The capital additions were primarily for communications
equipment, point-of-sale terminals, new computer equipment and capitalized
software.
The Company believes that available credit and cash generated from operations
are adequate to meet the Company's capital needs. EFS National Bank and EFS
Federal Savings Bank, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, exceed required
regulatory capital ratios.

Impact of Year 2000
The Year 2000 preparedness efforts of the Company cover both information
technologies ("IT") and non-IT systems. Non-IT systems include those systems
used in the daily operations of buildings and facilities. IT systems include
computer hardware, software and related applications.
The Company has instituted a five-phase plan with the goal of having its IT and
non-IT systems function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
beyond. These five phases are: awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and
implementation. Based on progress to date, the Company has completed all five
phases for all systems.
There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's
systems rely will be converted in a timely manner. However, contingency plans
have been created for all mission critical vendor products and services. The
contingency plans have been further enhanced and expanded to include business
resumption planning. These plans include both the Company's internal mission
critical systems and third-party exposures, based on the evaluation of progress
at that time.
Additional testing of new or remediated systems and applications will continue
as needed. Any new system must be tested and approved by the Year 2000 Committee
for necessity and Year 2000 impact before development and implementation begins.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes to our disclosures on quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk since December 31, 1998. For
additional information, refer to Exhibit 99 - Supplemental Consolidated
