NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In thousands)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For purposes of
comparability, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
quarter presentation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Comprehensive loss for the periods presented is equal to the Company's net loss as the
Company had no other comprehensive income (loss) items.
NOTE 2. LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various
investigations, claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in
the normal course of business and are routine to the nature of the Company's businesses. In
addition, as a result of the acquisition of The Union Corporation, certain subsidiaries of
the Company are a party to several on-going environmental remediation investigations by
federal and state governmental agencies and clean-ups and, along with other companies, has
been named a "potentially responsible party" for certain waste disposal sites. While the
results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company has provided for the
estimated uninsured amounts and costs to resolve the pending suits and management, in
consultation with legal counsel, believes that reserves established for the ultimate
resolution of pending matters are adequate at September 30, 2000.
NOTE 3. PURCHASED LOANS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PORTFOLIOS FINANCING
OSI Funding LLC ("FINCO") is a special-purpose finance company with the Company owning
approximately 78% of the financial interest but having only approximately 29% of the voting
rights.
The following summarizes the transactions between the Company and FINCO for the periods
ended September 30:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2000 1999 2000 1999
Sales of purchased loans and accounts receivable
portfolios by the Company to FINCO $ 16,415 $ 15,161 $ 70,721 $ 44,485
Servicing fees paid by FINCO to the Company $ 10,319 $ 3,913 $ 19,656 $ 9,758
Sales of purchased loans and accounts receivable portfolios ("Receivables") by the Company
to FINCO were in the same amount and occurred shortly after such portfolios were acquired by
the Company from the various unrelated sellers. In conjunction with sales of Receivables to
FINCO and the servicing agreement, the Company recorded servicing assets which are being
amortized over the servicing agreement. The carrying value of such servicing assets, which
are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, was
$5,605 at September 30, 2000 and was $1,300 at December 31, 1999.
At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, FINCO had unamortized Receivables of $73,776
and $42,967, respectively. At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, FINCO had
outstanding borrowings of $61,533 and $32,051, respectively, under its revolving warehouse
financing arrangement.
NOTE 4: ACQUISITION
On September 29, 2000, the Company through a newly formed limited liability company, RWC
Consulting Group, LLC, acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of RWC
Consulting Group, Inc. ("RWC"), a service company providing highly-skilled consultants to
banks to assist in their back office functions. Total consideration for RWC includes cash
of approximately $15,150 including transaction costs of $150, voting common stock worth
$2,000 (53,376.03 shares) and an 18% unsecured, subordinated note of $5,000 (interest
compounded annually and principal and interest due September 29, 2003). The cash portion of
the purchase price was financed under the Company's revolving credit facility. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and the excess of cost over the fair
value of the net assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years. The
acquisition contains a certain contingent payment obligation based on the attainment of a
certain financial performance target over the next three years. The future contingent
payment obligation, if any, will be accounted for as additional goodwill as the payment is
made.
NOTE 5: NONRECURRING EXPENSES
In continuing the adopted strategy to align the Company along business services and
establish call centers of excellence, the Company incurred $1,742 and $2,742 of nonrecurring
realignment expenses in the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively. These expenses include costs resulting from closure of certain call centers,
severance associated with these office closures and certain other one-time costs.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $133.9 million compared to
$123.0 million in the same period last year - an increase of 8.8%. The revenue increase of
$10.9 million was due to increased collection, outsourcing and portfolio services revenues.
Revenues from collection services were $89.4 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $88.2 million in the comparable period in 1999. The increase in
collection services revenue was primarily attributable to increased government and letter
series business. Partially offsetting this increase, however, was lower revenue from
telecommunications business and the continued weakness in the bankcard market. The
outsourcing services revenue of $19.5 million compared favorably to $15.1 million in 1999
due to increased revenue from new and existing business. Revenues from portfolio services
increased 26.9% to $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $19.7
million for the comparable period in 1999. The increased revenue was primarily due to
higher servicing fee revenues for the off-balance sheet collections of FINCO portfolios
partially offset by lower revenues from on-balance sheet portfolios resulting in the shift
from on-balance sheet ownership of purchased loans and accounts receivable portfolios to
off-balance sheet. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded
revenue from FINCO servicing fees of $10.3 million compared to servicing fees of $3.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
Operating expenses, inclusive of salaries and benefits, service fees and other operating and
administrative expenses, were $107.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and $97.5 million for the comparable period in 1999 - an increase of 10.7%. The increase in
these operating expenses resulted primarily from higher collection expenses, increased
collection-related expenses due to the increased revenues of collection and outsourcing
services and increased collection expenses associated with collections of on and off-balance
sheet purchased portfolios. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, amortization and
depreciation charges of $14.5 million were lower than the $17.2 million for the comparable
period in 1999 by $2.7 million. The lower amortization and depreciation charges resulted
primarily from lower portfolio amortization as a result of the shift towards off-balance
sheet purchased loans and accounts receivable portfolios.
In continuing with the strategy to align the Company along business services and establish
call centers of excellence by industry specialization adopted in early 1999, the Company
incurred nonrecurring realignment expenses of $1.7 million which includes costs for closure
of certain call centers, severance associated with these office closures and certain other
one-time costs. These costs were recognized as incurred in 2000.
Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 was $24.2 million. Adding back the nonrecurring
charges, EBITDA of $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared
favorably to $25.5 million for the same period in 1999.
Operating income of $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared
favorably to last year's operating income of $8.3 million for the same period. Adding back
the nonrecurring charges of $1.7 million, operating income was $11.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 1999 - an
increase of 37%. The shift to off-balance sheet ownership of portfolios has negatively
impacted EBITDA as revenue is recognized for off-balance sheet portfolios when servicing
fees (a certain percentage of collections) are earned whereas for on-balance sheet
portfolios the Company recognizes revenue when collections are received. Nevertheless,
operating income has been positively impacted by lower amortization as the Company amortizes
only on-balance sheet portfolios, which have become smaller.
Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $15.4 million
compared to $13.0 million for the comparable period in 1999. The increase was due primarily
to higher interest rates and higher amortization of deferred financing fees.
The provision for income taxes of $0.1 million was provided for state income tax
obligations, which the Company cannot offset currently by net operating losses.
Due to the factors stated above, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000
of $5.8 million compared unfavorably to the net loss of $4.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $404.5 million compared to $380.1
million in the same period last year - an increase of 6.4%. The revenue increase of $24.4
million was due to increased collection, outsourcing and portfolio services revenues.
Revenues from collection services were $281.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $275.0 million in the comparable period in 1999 due primarily to
increased government and letter series business partially offset by lower telecommunications
business and the continued weakness in the bankcard market. The outsourcing services
revenue of $54.4 million compared favorably to $43.5 million in 1999 due to increased
revenue from new and existing business. Revenues from portfolio services increased to $68.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $61.6 million for the comparable
period in 1999. The increased revenues was due to higher servicing fee revenues for the
off-balance sheet collections of FINCO portfolios partially offset by lower revenues from
on-balance sheet portfolios resulting in the shift from on-balance sheet ownership of
purchased loans and accounts receivable portfolios to off-balance sheet. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recorded revenue from FINCO servicing fees of
$19.7 million compared to servicing fees of $9.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999.
Operating expenses, inclusive of salaries and benefits, service fees and other operating and
administrative expenses, were $325.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and $299.6 million for the comparable period in 1999 - an increase of 8.6%. The increase in
these operating expenses resulted primarily from higher collection expenses, increased
collection-related expenses due to the increased revenues of collection and outsourcing
services and increased collection expenses associated with the increase in collections of on
and off-balance sheet purchased portfolios partially offset by lower consulting expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, amortization and depreciation charges of $45.4
million were lower than $53.1 million for the comparable period in 1999 - a decrease of
14.5%. The lower amortization and depreciation charges resulted primarily from lower
portfolio amortization as a result of the shift towards off-balance sheet purchased loans
and accounts receivable portfolios.
In continuing with the strategy to align the Company along business services and establish
call centers of excellence by industry specialization adopted in early 1999, the Company
incurred nonrecurring realignment expenses of $2.7 million which includes costs for closures
of certain call centers, severance associated with these office closures and certain other
one-time costs. These costs were recognized as incurred in 2000.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred approximately $0.2 million
of additional compensation expense resulting from the redemption of vested stock options.
Earnings before interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $76.2 million. Adding back the nonrecurring
charges and the additional compensation expense, EBITDA was $79.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $80.5 million for the same period in 1999. The
decrease of $1.4 million was primarily attributable to the increased collection expenses in
relation to the revenue reported from the collections of purchased portfolios partially
offset by the contribution from increased collection and outsourcing services revenues and
lower consulting expenses.
While EBITDA was down slightly due to the off-balance sheet ownership of the portfolios,
depreciation and amortization also declined resulting in operating income of $30.8 million.
Adding back the nonrecurring charges of $2.7 million and the additional compensation expense
of approximately $0.2 million, operating income was $33.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $27.4 million for the same period in 1999.
Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $44.8 million compared
unfavorably to $38.2 million for the same period in 1999 due primarily to higher interest
rates and higher amortization of deferred financing fees.
The provision for income taxes of $0.4 million was provided for state and foreign income tax
obligations, which the Company cannot offset currently by net operating losses.
Due to the factors stated above, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
of $14.3 million compared unfavorably to the net loss of $11.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million. The
Company's credit agreement provides for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which
allows the Company to borrow for working capital, general corporate purposes and
acquisitions, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had
$29.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility leaving $39.0 million, after
outstanding letters of credit, available under the revolving credit facility.
Since December 31, 1999, cash and cash equivalents increased $3.7 million primarily due to
cash from operating activities and portfolio purchasing of $19.5 million and net cash from
financing activities of $14.6 million offset by the use of cash of $30.4 million primarily
for capital expenditures of $13.9 million and $15.2 million for the acquisition of certain
assets of RWC. In addition to the cash consideration of $15.2 million, the purchase price
included voting common stock worth $2.0 million and a $5.0 million 18% unsecured,
subordinated note along with a contingent payment obligation. The Company also held $26.2
million of cash for clients in restricted trust accounts at September 30, 2000.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million. Since
December 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.0 million primarily due to cash
utilized for the net repayment of debt of $12.6 million and capital expenditures of $14.2
million offset by cash from operating activities and portfolio purchasing of $11.7 million
and increased borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $14.4 million.
For the first nine months in 2000, the Company made capital expenditures of $13.9 million
primarily for the replacement and upgrading of equipment, expansion of facilities and
expansion and conversion of the Company's information services systems. The Company
anticipates capital spending of approximately $18.0 million during 2000, which the Company
intends to fund from cash flow from operations and if necessary, borrowings under the
revolving credit facility.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, which was amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments

these statements along with SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, will
not have a material impact on the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated
balance sheet.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of
