Income per common and common  equivalent  share is computed  using the  weighted
average  number of common and  dilutive  common  equivalent  shares  outstanding
during the periods,  after  restatement  for shares issued in the acquisition of
BHC Financial, Inc. accounted for as a pooling of interests.

5. Accounting for Income Taxes
Deferred  income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary  differences
between the carrying amount of assets and  liabilities  for financial  reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating and tax
credit carryforwards.  Significant  components of the Company's net deferred tax
asset as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are as follows:

percentage  which  certain  items in the  Company's  consolidated  statements of

                                        =======================================

Revenues
- --------
Revenues  increased  9.6% from $217.5  million in the second  quarter of 1996 to
$238.4 million in the current second quarter and 7.9% from $432.6 million in the
first six months of 1996 to $466.7  million in the  comparable  current  period.
Approximately  30% of the year to date growth  resulted  from the  inclusion  of
revenues from the date of purchase of acquired  companies and  approximately 70%
from  increases  in revenue  from the  addition  of new  clients,  growth in the
transaction  volume  experienced  by existing  clients and price  increases.  As
indicated  in Note 3, the  Company  provides  item  processing  services  in the
Canadian market through a joint venture with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce,
the revenues from which are recorded on a fee basis.  If the gross revenues from
this activity were recognized, the Company's revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 would have increased by approximately $50 million or 23%. Revenues
for the first six months of 1997 would have increased by $92 million or 21%.

Cost of Revenues
- ----------------
Cost of revenues  increased  12.0% from $178.3  million in the second quarter of
1996 to $199.7  million in the  current  second  quarter,  and 8.9% from  $354.6
million  in the first six  months  of 1996 to  $386.3  million  in the first six
months  of  1997.  The  increase  in cost of  revenues  for the six  months  was
disproportionate  to the increase in revenues due to approximately  $3.6 million
of severance  payments in connection with  restructuring  of the item processing
contract with Chase  Manhattan Bank and merger related  expenses of $3.7 million
associated  with the  acquisition  of BHC.  Amortization  of  intangible  assets
decreased  due to reduced  amortization  of  intangible  assets  recorded in the
acquisition of Information Technology, Inc.

Operating Income
- ----------------
Operating income decreased 1.5% from $39.2 million in the second quarter of 1996
to $38.6 million in the current  second  quarter,  and increased 3.2% from $78.0
million in the first six months of 1996 to $80.4 million in the first six months
of 1997.  As a percentage of revenues,  operating  margins were lower during the
current  second  quarter  and the first six months of 1997 when  compared to the
comparable  prior year periods.  This decrease  resulted  primarily from charges
related to one-time  merger  expenses and reduced  impact of  termination  fees.
Without  the  merger  charges,  operating  margins  would have been 17.5% in the
second  quarter  and 18.0% for the first six  months,  approximating  prior year
levels.

Interest Expense - Net
- ----------------------
As a result of substantial  debt reductions and slightly lower effective  rates,
interest  expense  decreased $1.7 million in the second quarter of 1997 and $3.9
million for the first six months of 1997 when  compared to amounts  incurred for
the comparable 1996 periods.

Income Tax Provision
- --------------------
Income  taxes  were  computed  at 41% in both  1997  and  1996.  The 41% rate is
expected to apply throughout the current year.

Net Income
- ----------
Net income for the second quarter,  which was reduced by $2.5 million associated
with the  acquisition  costs of BHC,  increased 3% from $20.2 million in 1996 to
$20.8 million in 1997. Net income for the first six months, which was reduced by
$3.1 million for  acquisition  costs of BHC,  increased 9% from $39.8 million in
1996 to $43.4  million in 1997.  Net  income  per share for the second  quarter,
after  merger  related  expenses of $.05,  was $.39 in 1997  compared to $.39 in
1996.  Net  income  per share for the first six  months,  after  merger  related
expenses of $.06,  increased  $.05 from $.77 in 1996 to $.82 in 1997. Net income
per share increased $.06 and $.17, respectively, in the second quarter and first
six months of 1997 after the charges  associated  with the  acquisition  of BHC,
when  compared  with net  income  per  share  as  originally  presented  for the
comparable  1996  periods.  The  increase  in net  income per share over 1996 as
originally presented was consistent with management's expectations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During  the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997,  cash  decreased  $29.5  million
comprising primarily $95.7 million net cash provided by operating activities and
$6.5 million from issuance of common stock,  which was more than offset by $68.8
million   increase  in  investments,   $10.7  million  for  the  acquisition  of
businesses,  $32.7  million net  repayment of debt and $19.5 million for capital
expenditures. Long-term obligations amounted to $253.4 million at June 30, 1997.
The majority of this debt  comprises  $112.8 million of senior notes due 1997 to
2001 and $113.2 million  advanced under a $225 million  unsecured line of credit
and commercial  paper  facility  expiring May 17, 2000. A facility fee of .1% to
 .2% per annum is required on the entire bank line regardless of usage.

The Company has historically applied a significant portion of its cash flow from
operating  activities  and proceeds of its common stock  offerings and long-term
borrowings  to  acquisitions.  The  Company  believes  that its cash  flow  from
operating  activities  together  with other  available  sources of funds will be
adequate  to meet its  funding  requirements.  However,  in the  event  that the
Company  makes  significant  future  acquisitions,  it may raise  funds  through
additional borrowings or issuance of securities.
