NOTE 4.   CLASSIFICATION OF REVENUE

Concentrex has reorganized itself into two product groups: Software Products and
Services  Group  and  e-Commerce   Group.   Prior  period   revenues  have  been
reclassified  for all periods included herein to reflect the new product groups.
Total revenues did not change as a result of this reclassification.

UNCERTAINTIES,   SUCH  AS  STATEMENTS   OF   CONCENTREX'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 REPORT.  CONCENTREX'S  ACTUAL  RESULTS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED HERE.  FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO
SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE QUARTERLY  FLUCTUATIONS IN ORDERS RECEIVED,  CHANGES IN

AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

OVERVIEW

CFI  ProServices,  Inc.  (doing  business as Concentrex  Incorporated  pending a
change  in  the  legal  name  of  the   company)   is  a  leading   provider  of
technology-powered  solutions to the financial services industry. During 1999 we
reorganized  ourselves  into two  product  groups:  the  Software  Products  and
Services group and the e-Commerce  group.  We offer a broad range of traditional
software  products and  services,  a product  group that we are both growing and
using to finance our innovative  business-to-business  e-commerce solutions. Our
Software Products and Services group supports a financial  institution's mission
critical functions  including back office "core"  processing,  loan origination,
new account  opening,  branch  automation and cross selling.  We support the key
sales functions a financial  institution  traditionally relies on to make money,
which are usually delivered face-to-face or over the telephone.  We believe that
financial  institutions  will  need to  offer  those  same  functions  over  the
Internet.  Thus, we have focused our efforts on both Internet  banking  software
for account servicing and Internet-enabled  versions of our traditional software
for lending and account  opening.  These integrate with other points of customer
contact  and enable a  financial  institution  to serve its  customers,  both in
person and over the Internet, with consistent, integrated solutions.

Our backlog as of March 31, 2000 was $14.4 million, compared to $16.5 million at
March 31,  1999.  Our backlog  consists of firm signed  orders taken and not yet
converted to revenue, but expected to be converted to revenue within the next 12
months.  Orders  constituting  our  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 our revenue for any
future period.

REVENUE

Total revenue increased $13.0 million,  or 64.6%, to $33.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $20.0 million for the comparable  period
in 1999.  During 1999 we  reorganized  ourselves  into two product  groups:  the
Software Products and Services group and the e-Commerce group.  Accordingly,  we
have  reclassified  our operating  revenue data for all periods included in this
report to reflect  the new groups.  Total  revenue did not change as a result of
this reclassification.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GROUP

Software Products and Services license revenue increased $6.3 million, or 75.8%,
to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $8.4 million for
the comparable period in 1999. The increase was due primarily to our acquisition
of ULTRADATA  Corporation  ("ULTRADATA") in August 1999. We also recognized $2.4
million of license  revenue in the first  quarter of 2000 relating to additional
implementations   of  our  teller   software  by  a  customer.   The  additional
implementations  occurred without payments we believe are owed to us. The amount
of  revenue  we  recognized  was   calculated  by  multiplying   the  number  of
implementations,  as provided to us by personnel of the customer, by our current
per  unit  list  price  for  such  implementations.  We  are  actively  pursuing
collection of this amount, and believe we will be successful in those efforts.

Service  and  support  revenue  in the  Software  Products  and  Services  group
increased  $3.5 million,  or 41.0%,  to $11.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $8.5 million for the comparable period in 1999. The increase
resulted  primarily from the ULTRADATA  acquisition  and from an increase in the
installed base of our products.  Service and support revenue consists  primarily
of recurring software support charges and revenue from training customers in the
use of our products.  Substantially all of our software  customers  subscribe to
support  services,  which  provide  for  the  payment  of  annual  or  quarterly
maintenance fees.

Other  revenue in the  Software  Products  and  Services  group  increased  $1.8
million,  or 158.6%,  to $3.0  million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
from $1.1  million for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The  increase  resulted
primarily from the acquisition in May 1999 of MECA Software, LLC ("MECA"), which
added revenue from its legacy personal financial management product and from its
fulfillment  operations.  We anticipate that revenue from the personal financial
management product will decline in future periods.

<PAGE>

E-COMMERCE GROUP

Total revenue in the e-Commerce group increased $1.4 million,  or 64.4%, to $3.4
million for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 from $2.0  million for the
comparable  period in 1999. The increase was  principally due to the acquisition
of MECA.

License  revenue in the e-Commerce  group  decreased $0.1 million,  or 14.9%, to
$0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $0.5 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The decline resulted principally from the new version
of our home banking  product being in beta during the first quarter of 2000 with
no  associated  revenue.  Upon the  general  release  of the  product,  which we
anticipate  will occur in the second quarter of 2000, we will recognize  license
revenue  associated  with  implementations  of the beta  version of the product.
Service and support revenue in the e-Commerce  group increased $1.5 million,  or
89.5%,  to $3.0  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 from $1.5
million for the comparable period in 1999. The increase resulted  primarily from
the  acquisition  of MECA's  technical  support  operations,  and from increased
online bill payment services revenue.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue increased to $12.6 million,  or 38.1% of revenue,  for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999.  Gross margin
was  61.9%  and  61.4% for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.  Cost of revenue primarily  consists of amortization of internally
developed  and  purchased  software,   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.

Software amortization was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to $0.9  million for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The  increase in
amortization is a result of software  acquired in connection with  acquisitions.
Capitalized software costs net of accumulated amortization were $12.1 million at
March 31, 2000.

As a result  of  acquisitions,  costs  associated  with  royalty  payments  will
increase in future periods. We are obligated to pay royalties ranging from 3% to
18% of revenue related to certain products acquired in various acquisitions.  In
addition,  we are obligated to pay MicroBilt Corporation a fixed amount for each
OnLine Branch Automation product customer that converts to our branch automation
products.  The royalty obligations generally extend three to five years from the
acquisition date.

OPERATING EXPENSES

SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to $5.4 million, or
16.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.7 million, or
18.6% of revenue,  for the comparable period in 1999. The percentage decrease in
2000 resulted  primarily from the MECA acquisition,  which  contributed  revenue
without  commensurate  sales and marketing costs. The increases in dollar amount
in 2000 resulted from increased commissions  associated with increased revenues,
salary increases, additional personnel and higher advertising costs.

PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT.  Product  development  expenses include costs of enhancing
existing  products and developing  new products.  Product  development  expenses
increased to $8.0 million, or 24.4% of revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to $4.3 million, or 21.3% of revenue for the comparable period
in 1999.  Increases in dollar amount of product  development  expenses  resulted
primarily from increased personnel retained in connection with the 1999 MECA and
ULTRADATA  acquisitions,  additional costs for integrating acquired products and
accelerating  development  of our online banking  products.  We will continue to
commit significant resources to product development efforts.

GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE.  General  and  administrative  expenses  were $5.2
million, or 15.8% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
to $2.4 million,  or 12.2% of revenue,  for the  comparable  period in 1999. The
increase in dollar amount in 2000 is due mainly to the  acquisitions of MECA and
ULTRADATA.

GOODWILL AMORTIZATION

Goodwill acquired in acquisitions is amortized over periods ranging from five to
20 years.  Goodwill amortization was $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The increase in 2000 is due
principally  to the  goodwill  resulting  from  the  ULTRADATA  acquisition.  We
recorded  approximately  $49 million of goodwill in the  ULTRADATA  acquisition,
which  is  being  amortized  over  20  years.   Goodwill,   net  of  accumulated
amortization,  was $58.2  million and $10.4  million at March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income  from  operations  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 was $0.7
million, or 2.1% of revenue,  compared to $1.4 million, or 7.2% of revenue,  for
the comparable period in 1999.

NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE)

Non-operating income (expense),  which consists primarily of interest income and
expense,  was a net expense of ($3.0)  million for the three  months ended March
31, 2000 compared to a net expense of $0 for the comparable  period in 1999. The
increase in net interest expense in 2000 is attributable to the debt we incurred
to finance the ULTRADATA and MECA transactions.

PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES

Our  effective  tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was a benefit
of 56% compared to a provision  of 43% for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The
difference  between  federal and state statutory tax rates and our effective tax
rates  results   primarily  from   amortization  of  nondeductible   intangibles
(primarily goodwill) related to acquisitions.

MARKET RISK

We have not entered into any derivative  financial  instruments  for speculative
purposes.  We may be exposed to future interest rate changes on our debt. During
1999  we  incurred   significant   indebtedness   related  to  acquisitions.   A
hypothetical  10%  increase in interest  rates on our level of debt  existing at
March 31,  2000 would  increase  cash  interest  expense by  approximately  $0.6
million  per year.  We have  purchased  an interest  rate cap for a  substantial
portion of our long-term  debt.  The interest rate cap will become  effective if
the prime rate of interest exceeds 10% per year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash  provided by  operations  was $1.6  million for the three  months ended
March 31, 2000  compared  to $3.4  million  for the  comparable  period in 1999.
Working capital  decreased to a deficit of ($3.9) million at March 31, 2000 from
$11.9  million at March 31,  1999.  The  decrease  in working  capital  occurred
because  of  liabilities  assumed  in the MECA and  ULTRADATA  acquisitions  and
because of additional debt incurred to finance those acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing  activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000
was $1.3 million compared to $5.9 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
principal use of cash in the 1999 period was the  acquisition  of certain assets
of Modern Computer Systems, Inc. Expenditures for property and equipment of $1.4
million  in the  first  three  months  of 2000 were  primarily  attributable  to
investments in infrastructure necessary to accommodate our growth.

Net cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was principally for payments on long term debt and on our line of
credit.

Days sales outstanding (DSO's) in accounts receivable, including both billed and
unbilled accounts receivable, was 89 days at March 31, 2000 compared to 126 days
at March 31, 1999. The decrease in DSO's in 2000 is principally due to increased
collections  efforts.  Our  project-oriented  business often  requires  unbilled
accounts  receivable  and  milestone  billings,  both of which often have longer
collection cycles.  Unbilled accounts  receivable were $6.7 million, or 20.4% of
total accounts receivable,  at March 31, 2000 compared to $5.4 million, or 19.4%
of total accounts receivable, at March 31, 1999.

In connection with the MECA and ULTRADATA acquisitions in 1999, we substantially
increased our  outstanding  debt.  At March 31, 2000, we had the following  debt
under our loan agreements:

                                         Gross          Stated Interest Rate At
                                         Amount            March 31, 2000
                                         ------         -----------------------

Revolving Line of Credit                 $  3.3  million         10.0%
3-year Term A Loan                         35.0  million         11.0%
3-year Term B Loan                         30.0  million         14.0%
Debt Discount                              (3.2) million
                                         ---------------
      Total                              $ 65.2  million

In  connection  with  the  ULTRADATA  acquisition,  we also  issued  convertible
subordinated  notes with an original  face amount of $7.4 million with  original
issue discount of $1.9 million.  We received gross proceeds of $5.5 million upon
issuance of the notes.

We are highly leveraged. Our loan agreements contain financial covenants that we
must abide by. For  example,  we are  required  to generate  specific  levels of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) measured
over four-quarter  periods. As of March 31, 2000, we were in compliance with all
financial  covenants.  If we do not  achieve  sufficient  revenue  in the second
quarter  of 2000,  we would  not  remain in  compliance  with  certain  of these
financial  covenants.  Based upon preliminary  indications from our lenders,  we
believe that we can obtain waivers for such  noncompliance  if needed.  However,
there can be no assurance  that such waivers  would be provided or, if provided,
would be on terms  acceptable to us or our  shareholders.  Any failure to obtain
any

                                       12

<PAGE>

needed waivers for noncompliance  with financial  covenants would likely lead to
an event of  default  under our loan  agreements,  which  could  have a material
adverse  effect on us. If an event of default  occurs,  our lenders have several
remedies  available   including,   without   limitation,   acceleration  of  all
outstanding indebtedness under the loan agreements.

Our loan agreements also contain significant restrictions on our activities. For
example,  we must obtain the  consent of our lenders  before we purchase or sell
significant assets.  Additionally,  the terms of our loan agreements prohibit us
from incurring additional  indebtedness or issuing new equity securities without
the  consent  of the  lenders.  These  restrictions  may  make it  difficult  or
impossible to raise additional funds if we need to do so.

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 operations  plus a revolving line of credit
up to $15.0  million,  subject to  borrowing  base  restrictions  related to our
accounts receivable.

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

We may require  additional  funds to support our working  capital  requirements,
future  acquisitions or for other purposes and may seek to raise such 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 us or our shareholders.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue identifies problems that may arise in computer equipment and
software,  as well as  embedded  electronic  systems,  because  of the way these
systems are  programmed  to interpret  certain  dates that will occur around the
change in century.  In the computer  industry  this is  primarily  the result of
computer  programs  being  designed and  developed  using or reserving  only two
digits in date fields (rather than four digits) to identify the century, without
considering  the ability of the program to  properly  distinguish  the Year 2000
century change.  Likewise,  other dates may present  problems because of the way
the digits are  interpreted.  We experienced no material Year 2000 problems with
our products at the century  change.  Costs  incurred  through March 31, 2000 to
assess Year 2000 issues were not significant  and were funded through  operating
cash flows.

Based on  information  gathered to date, we are not presently  aware of any Year
2000 issue that would materially affect our operations,  either  self-originated
or caused by third-party service vendors or providers.  Nevertheless,  there can
be no assurance that we will not experience  some  operating  difficulties  as a
result of Year 2000 issues  going  forward.  If they occur,  these  difficulties
could require us to incur unanticipated costs to remedy the problems and, either
individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on us.

QUARTERLY RESULTS

We have  experienced,  and  expect  in the  future  to  experience,  significant
quarterly  fluctuations in our results of operations.  These fluctuations may be
caused by  various  factors,  including,  among  others:  the size and timing of
product orders and shipments;  the timing and market  acceptance of new products
and product enhancements introduced by us and our competitors;  our product mix,
including  expenses of implementation and royalties related to certain products;
the timing of our  completion  of work under  contracts  accounted for under the
percentage of completion method; customer order deferrals in anticipation of new
products;   aspects  of  the  customers'   purchasing  process,   including  the
evaluation,  decision-making  and  acceptance of products  within the customers'
organizations;  the sales process for our products,  including the complexity of
customer  implementation  of our  products;  the  number  of  working  days in a
quarter;  federal and state regulatory  events;  competitive  pricing pressures;
technological   changes  in  hardware  platform,   networking  or  communication
technology;   changes  in  company  personnel;   the  timing  of  our  operating
expenditures;  specific economic  conditions in the financial  services industry
and general economic conditions.

Our business has  experienced,  and is expected to continue to experience,  some
degree of  seasonality  due to our customers'  budgeting and buying cycles.  Our
strongest  revenue  quarter in any year is typically our fourth  quarter and our
weakest revenue quarter is typically our first quarter. Customers' purchases are
tied closely to their  internal  budget  processes.  For some of our  customers,
budgets are approved at the  beginning of the year and  budgeted  amounts  often
must be  utilized  by the end of the year.  In  addition,  our  incentive  sales
compensation  plan  provides for increases in  commission  percentages  as sales
people  approach or exceed their annual sales  quotas.  As a result of these two
factors, we usually experience increased sales orders in the fourth quarter.
