NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  financial  information  included  herein for the three  month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is  unaudited;  however,  such  information
reflects all adjustments  consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments which
are, in the opinion of  management,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
financial  position,  results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for the  interim
periods.  The financial  information as of December 31, 1997 is derived from the
audited financial statements contained in the 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K as
filed  by CFI  ProServices,  Inc.  (the  "Company").  The  interim  consolidated
financial  statements  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2.  LINE OF CREDIT

Effective March 1, 1998, the Company negotiated to increase the amount of credit
available under its line of credit from the lesser of 50% of accounts receivable
or $9 million to the lesser of 50% of accounts  receivable or $10 million and to
change the expiration date to May 1, 2000.  Total  borrowings  under the line of
credit at June 30, 1998 were $4.0  million.  The $4.0  million  balance has been
classified  as  long-term  debt as the  Company  does not  intend to repay  this
portion within the next 12 months.

NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS are  computed  using the methods
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" ("SFAS 128").  Basic EPS is calculated  using the weighted average number
of common shares  outstanding  for the period and diluted EPS is computed  using
the weighted  average  number of common  shares and dilutive  common  equivalent
shares outstanding.  Prior period amounts have been restated to conform with the
presentation  requirements of SFAS 128.  Following is a reconciliation  of basic
EPS and diluted EPS:

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

The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  Notes  thereto  should be read in
conjunction  with the following  discussion.  This discussion  contains  certain
forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  such  as
statements of the Company's plans, objectives,  expectations and intentions. The
cautionary statements made in this discussion should be read as being applicable
to all related  forward-looking  statements wherever they appear in this filing.
The Company's actual results could differ  materially from those discussed here.
Factors  that  could  cause or  contribute  to such  differences  include  those
discussed in this report,  as well as in the Company's  Reports on Form 10-Q for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31, 1997 and in other  filings by the Company with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.

OVERVIEW

CFI ProServices, Inc. ("CFI" or the "Company") is a leading provider of customer
service software  products and services to financial  institutions.  The Company
combines its technology, banking, and legal expertise to deliver knowledge-based
software  solutions that enable  institutions to simplify key business processes
such  as  sales  and  service,   improve   productivity,   strengthen   customer
relationships  and maintain  compliance with both internal business policies and
external  government  regulations.  More than 5,500 financial  institutions have
licensed one or more of the Company's products.

During 1993  substantially  all of the  Company's  revenue was derived  from its
Laser Pro and Deposit Pro  products.  Today,  the Company  licenses more than 20
products  organized  into three product  groups:  lending,  retail  delivery and
connectivity software. Due to its product  diversification  efforts, the Company
is now less  reliant  on the Laser Pro and  Deposit  Pro  products.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, approximately 52% of the Company's revenue came from
products other than Laser Pro and Deposit Pro.

CFI generates recurring revenue from software  maintenance  agreements.  For the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,  service and support fees
revenue accounted for 39% and 38% of total revenue, respectively.  Substantially
all software customers  subscribe to the Company's service and support programs,
which provide ongoing product  enhancements  and, where  applicable,  regulatory
compliance updates.

The  Company's  cost  structure is  relatively  fixed and the cost of generating
revenue, in aggregate, does not vary significantly with changes in revenue. As a
result, the Company typically  generates greater profit margins from incremental
sales once fixed costs are covered.  Conversely,  any failure to achieve revenue
targets in a particular  period would  adversely  affect profit margins for that
period, as occurred in the three months ended June 30, 1998.

The  Company  believes  that  sales to larger  banks  will  constitute  a higher
percentage of total revenue in future  periods.  Transactions  with these larger
banks are  typically of greater  scope,  usually  involve a greater sales effort
over a longer  period of time,  and require  more  customization  and  prolonged
acceptance  testing.  This project  oriented  business  tends to

                                       7
<PAGE>

cause  growth  in  unbilled  accounts  receivable  resulting  from  the  use  of
percentage  of  completion  accounting,  deferred  payment  terms and  increased
collection times for billed accounts receivable.  These factors, in turn, result
in higher days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable.

The Company's  backlog as of June 30, 1998 was approximately  $14.0 million,  as
compared to  approximately  $15.2 million and $11.3 million at December 31, 1997
and June 30, 1997, respectively.  CFI's backlog consists of orders taken and not
yet  converted to revenue,  but  expected to be  converted to revenue  within 12
months.  Orders  constituting  the  Company's  backlog are subject to changes in
delivery  schedules or to  cancellation  at the option of the purchaser  without
significant  penalty.  The stated backlog is not  necessarily  indicative of the
Company's revenue for any future period.

   offering in the first quarter of 1997, the change for non-operating  expense,
   income  before  income  taxes,  provision  for  income  taxes and net  income
   applicable to common shareholders would have been 32.9%, (21.4%), (21.4%) and
   (21.8%), respectively.

REVENUE

Total  revenue  increased  $1.1  million,  or 6%, to $19.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $17.9 million in the comparable period in
1997. Total revenue increased $4.2 million, or 12%, to $38.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $33.9 million in the comparable period in
1997.

SOFTWARE  LICENSE  FEES.  Software  license  fees  include  sales of software to
customers,  fees for software  customization  and fees  related to  implementing
software and systems at customer  sites.  Software  license fees  increased $0.1
million,  or 1%, to $10.1  million and increased  $2.2 milion,  or 12%, to $20.5
million  for the  three  month  and six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  1998,
respectively, from $10.0 million and $18.3 million for the respective comparable
periods in 1997. The increases were led by lending  products,  offset in part by
lower retail delivery product  revenues.  The Company expects declines in Online
branch  automation  revenues as it decreases its emphasis on the older DOS-based
product and transitions to its Windows-based Encore! branch automation products.
Revenues  from  the 1997  periods  also  included  results  from  the  Company's
RPxpress! remittance processing division, which was sold in September 1997.

      LENDING PRODUCTS. Lending products license revenue increased $0.5 million,
or 9%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,  and  increased
$3.3  million,  or 35%, to $12.7  million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
over the respective comparable periods in 1997. The increases resulted primarily
from sales of Laser Pro Closing (particularly of the Company's new Windows-based
product),  Laser Pro Credit Line and Laser Pro Mortgage, and were offset in part
by decreased  revenues from Laser Pro Application  Manager and the Company's two
fisCAL products. As a percentage of total license fee revenues, lending products
increased  to 57% for  the  second  quarter  of  1998  and to 62%  year-to-date,
compared to 52% for the same periods in 1997.

Lending  products include Laser Pro Closing,  Laser Pro  Application,  Laser Pro
SBA,  Laser Pro Credit Line,  Laser Pro  Application  Manager,  Laser Pro fisCAL
Analyzer, Laser Pro fisCAL Online and Laser Pro Mortgage.

      RETAIL  DELIVERY   PRODUCTS.   Retail  delivery  product  license  revenue
decreased  $0.4 million,  or 9%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, and decreased $1.2 million, or 15%, to $6.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, from the respective  comparable periods in 1997.  Increased
revenues from Deposit Pro, Encore!  Desktop and Encore!  Call Center were offset
by decreased revenues from Encore!  Branch Automation,  

                                       10
<PAGE>

OnLine Branch Automation  products and Encore!  Personal Branch. As a percentage
of total license  revenue,  retail delivery  products revenue declined to 40% in
the second  quarter of 1998 and to 34% for the first six months of 1998 compared
to 44% for both periods in 1997.

Retail delivery products include Encore!  Teller,  Encore!  Platform,  Flextran,
OnLine Branch Automation,  Deposit Pro, Encore!  Desktop,  Encore!  Call Center,
Encore! Personal Branch and Pro Active CRA.

      CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS. License fees from the sale of connectivity products
were  $0.4  million  and $0.8  million  for the  three  and six  month  periods,
respectively,  ended June 30, 1998. These revenues were substantially  unchanged
from the  comparable  1997  periods.  As a  percentage  of Company  license  fee
revenue,  connectivity  products  accounted for 3% in the second quarter of 1998
and  4%  year-to-date,  compared  to  4%  for  the  same  periods  a  year  ago.
Connectivity  products  include  StarGate  middleware,  Laser Pro interfaces and
Deposit Pro interfaces.

SERVICE  AND  SUPPORT  FEES.  Service  and support  fees  consist  primarily  of
recurring  software  support charges and revenue from training  customers in the
use of the  Company's  products.  Substantially  all of the  Company's  software
customers  subscribe to its support  services,  which provide for the payment of
annual or quarterly  maintenance  fees.  Service and support fees increased $0.6
million,  or 9%, to $7.4 million and $1.1  million,  or 8%, to $14.5 million for
the  three  month and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  1998,  respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1997.

OTHER REVENUE.  Other revenue  includes Vendor Payment Systems  processing fees,
sales of preprinted  forms and supplies and certain  consulting  revenue.  Other
revenue  increased  $0.4 million,  or 41%, to $1.5 million and $0.9 million,  or
40%, to $3.1  million for the three month and six month  periods  ended June 30,
1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The increases in other
revenue were led by sales of Laser Pro font cartridges.  Other revenue increased
to 8% of total revenue for the three and six month periods of 1998,  compared to
6% and 7%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1997.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue  primarily  consists of  amortization  of  software  development
costs,  royalty  payments,  compliance  warranty  insurance  premiums,  software
production costs, costs of product support,  training and implementation,  costs
of  software  customization,  materials  costs for forms and  supplies  and bill
payment processing costs.

Cost of  revenue  increased  $1.2  million,  or 19%,  to $7.2  million  and $2.3
million,  or 20%, to $13.9 million for the three and six month perids ended June
30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to $6.0 million and $11.6 million in the same
periods  in  1997.  The  increases  are  primarily  attributable  to  additional
personnel required to support the increased installed base of customers,  higher
implementation  costs  associated  with the increased  number of large financial
institution  projects,  and increased  royalties and materials costs  associated
with increased  revenues.  As the breadth of the Company's product offerings has
expanded, the

                                       11
<PAGE>

complexity and cost of providing high quality  customer  service and support has
increased both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.

Amortization  of software  development  costs  decreased  $0.2 million,  to $0.5
million,  for the second  quarter of 1998 and decreased  $0.2  million,  to $1.1
million, for the first six months of 1998 from $0.7 million and $1.3 million for
the respective comparable periods in 1997.  Amortization of software development
costs will increase in future periods as certain  product  development  projects
that had been  capitalized  in past  periods  were  completed  during the second
quarter of 1998.  Amortization of the capitalized software costs associated with
those products will commence in the third quarter of 1998.

As a result of CFI's  acquisitions,  costs resulting from royalty  payments will
increase in future  periods.  The Company is obligated to pay royalties  ranging
from 3% to 18% of revenue  related to certain  products  acquired in the various
acquisitions  since June 1994.  In  addition,  the Company is  obligated  to pay
MicroBilt  Corporation  a fixed  amount per  OnLine  customer  converted  to the
Company's products. The royalty obligations generally extend three to five years
from the acquisition date.

Gross margin was 62% and 63% for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1998,  respectively,  compared  to 66% in  each of the  same  periods  in  1997.
Operating  margin  declined to 10% for both periods in 1998  compared to 15% and
14%,  respectively,  in 1997.  The  decreases  in gross  margin and in operating
margin were due primarily to lower than expected  revenue in the second  quarter
and to  lower  capitalization  of  software  development  costs  in  1998 as the
Company's current product  development cycle ended. The Company capitalized $0.6
million  and $1.1  million in  software  development  costs in the three and six
month  periods ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to $1.5 million and
$3.0 million in the same periods of 1997. Capitalized software development costs
net of accumulated amortization were $9.8 million as of June 30, 1998. Increases
in selling,  general and  administrative  expenses also contributed to the lower
operating margins in the 1998 periods.

OPERATING EXPENSES

SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to $4.5 million, or
24% of  revenue,  for the three  month  period  and to $8.9  million,  or 23% of
revenue,  for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $3.8 million,
or 21% of  revenue,  and $7.3  million,  or 21% of  revenue,  in the  respective
comparable periods of 1997. The increases in dollar amount resulted  principally
from salary increases, additional personnel and increased commissions associated
with increased revenues.

PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT.  Product development expenses include costs of maintaining
and enhancing existing products and developing new products. Product development
expenses were 17% of revenue,  or $3.2 million and $6.3  million,  respectively,
for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, compared to $3.0
million and $5.9 million, or 17% and 18% of revenue,  respectively,  in the same
periods in 1997. The increases in dollar amount were  principally  the result of
reduced  capitalization  of software  development  costs in the 1998 periods and
increased  staffing  in  the  development  areas  of the  Company.


                                       12
<PAGE>

With the  completion  of the current  product  development  cycle in the quarter
ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  does not  presently  anticipate  needing to
capitalize  additional  software  development costs.  Consequently,  the Company
anticipates  that the dollar  amount of product  development  expenses in future
periods may be higher than in their  respective  comparable  prior  periods when
certain product development expenses were being capitalized.

GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE.  General  and  administrative  expenses  were $2.1
million,  or 11% of  revenue,  for the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1998 and $4.6
million, or 12% of revenue,  for the first six months of 1998 compared to 11% of
revenue, or $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in
1997.  The  increases  in dollar  amount  primarily  resulted  from an increased
allowance for bad debts associated with increased revenues,  higher salaries and
increased personnel.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Intangibles include acquisition  payments assigned
to  goodwill,  noncompetition  agreements  and customer  lists.  These costs are
amortized  over  lives  ranging  from  five  to  seven  years.  Amortization  of
intangibles was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three month
and six month periods ended June 30 for both 1998 and 1997.

NON-OPERATING EXPENSE

Non-operating  expense  decreased  $0.4  million in the first six months of 1998
compared  to the  comparable  period in the prior  year.  In  February  1997 the
Company's  Board of Directors  elected not to proceed  with a planned  follow-on
offering  of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  The  Company  took  a $0.5  million
non-operating  charge  in  the  first  quarter  of  1997  as  a  result  of  the
cancellation.

Other net non-operating expense, which consists primarily of interest income and
expense,  was $0.1  million  and $0.2  million for the three month and six month
periods  ended June 30,  1998,  respectively,  compared to $0.1 million and $0.6
million for each of the same periods in 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The  effective tax rate for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 was 44%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working  capital  increased  $7.1 million to $14.3 million at June 30, 1998 from
$7.2 million at December 31, 1997.  The increase  resulted  primarily from a net
reduction in short-term  debt of $5.3 million and an increase in long-term  debt
of $4.0 million in connection with a renegotiation of the Company's bank line of
credit  facility.  Enhanced  efforts by the Company to increase cash collections
also contributed to the increase in working capital.

                                     13
<PAGE>

Net cash provided by operations  was $6.3 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $3.7 million in 1997.  The principal  contributors  to
cash in the first six months of 1998 were a decline in  accounts  receivable  of
$8.9 milion and net income,  excluding  depreciation and  amortization,  of $5.0
million.  The major  operating uses of funds during the first six months of 1998
included  $2.9  million  attributable  to a  decline  in  accrued  expenses  due
primarily  to the  payment  of  bonus  and  commission  amounts  for 1997 and an
additional $4.1 million related to the seasonal decline in deferred revenue that
results  from the  Company's  annual  maintenance  billing  pattern  for certain
products.


Net cash used in investing  activities was $2.4 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998  compared to $4.8  million for the same period in 1997.  The
decrease  in cash  used in  investing  activities  is due  principally  to lower
capitalization of software development costs and lower expenditures for property
and equipment.

Net cash used by  financing  activities  of $1.3  million  during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 was primarily  attributable  to net payments of $1.3 million
on the Company's  bank line of credit  facility.  In addition,  $0.5 million was
used for payments on  acquisition  related debt,  offset by $0.5 million in cash
provided by issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts  receivable,  including both billed and
unbilled accounts receivable, was 108 days at June 30, 1998 compared to 124 days
at March 31, 1998 and 106 days at December 31, 1997  (excluding  the  distorting
impact of annual  maintenance  invoices).  The  increase in DSO during the first
quarter of 1998 resulted  principally  from cash  collections  that were delayed
until after the end of the quarter and from increased project-oriented business.
Project-oriented  business  often  requires  unbilled  accounts  receivable  and
milestone  billings,  both of which often have  longer  collection  cycles.  The
subsequent  decrease in DSO during the second  quarter  primarily  resulted from
increased collection activities. Unbilled accounts receivable were $5.2 million,
or 22% of total accounts  receivable,  at June 30, 1998 and $5.7 million, or 21%
of total accounts receivable, at March 31, 1998 compared to $5.6 million, or 26%
of total  accounts  receivable,  and  $4.4  million,  or 22% of  total  accounts
receivable, at the respective comparable dates in 1997.

Future cash  requirements  could  include,  among  other  things,  purchases  of
companies,   products  or  technologies,   expenditures  for  internal  software
development,  capital  expenditures  necessary to the expansion of the business,
and  installment  payments  on debt  related  to  acquisitions.  Available  cash
resources  include cash  generated by the Company's  operations  and a revolving
line of credit up to the lesser of $10.0 million or 50% of accounts  receivable,
of which $6.0  million was  available  at June 30, 1998.  Long-term  debt,  less
current portion, of $6.0 million at June 30, 1998 includes $4.0 million drawn on
the line of credit.  Interest on the line of credit borrowings was equal to 1.4%
over LIBOR (7.2% at June 30, 1998). The line of credit expires May 1, 2000.

The  Company  believes  that  funds  expected  to  be  generated  from  existing
operations  and  borrowings  under its revolving line of credit will provide the
Company with sufficient funds to finance its operations. The Company may require
additional   funds  to  support  its  working   capital   requirements,   future
acquisitions or for other purposes and may seek to raise such

                                       14
<PAGE>


additional  funds  through one or more public or private  financings  of debt or
equity,  or from  other  sources.  No  assurance  can be given  that  additional
financing  will be available  or that,  if  available,  such  financing  will be
obtainable on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.

From time to time the Company  receives  contract  claims from its customers and
other parties,  including  requests for full or partial  refunds of moneys paid,
and initiates contract claims against its customers and other parties, including
claims for payment of unpaid  invoices.  Although there can be no assurance that
such claims, either alone or in the aggregate,  will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position, the Company
believes  that as of the date of this  filing no such  claims  will have such an
effect.
