PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
National Data Corporation (the "Company"), incorporated in 1967,
is focused on providing value-added systems and services to the health
care, integrated payment systems, and government and corporate markets.
In the health care area the Company engages principally in providing
practice management systems and electronic claims processing,
adjudication and clinical data base information for pharmacies,
dentists, physicians, hospitals, health maintenance organizations
("HMO's"), clinics, nursing homes and other health care markets. The
Company also provides integrated payment systems solutions such as
credit card, debit card and check verification/guarantee services for
retailers, health care providers, universities and colleges and
government agencies. The Company also provides cash management,
information reporting and electronic data interchange ("EDI") services
for corporate and government customers. In addition, the Company has
developed electronic tax payment and filing systems. Services are
provided through centralized host, distributed microprocessor-based and
value-added telecommunications networks accessing real-time information
processing systems capable of sending and receiving information
utilizing a variety of terminals, PC's and other communication devices.
The network operates seven days a week, 24 hours per day.
The Company is one of the largest independent providers of
value-added applications systems and services for the health care and
integrated payment systems markets in the United States.
Services
The Company's products and services are provided in the
following lines of business: (i) health care application systems and
services, (ii) integrated payment systems, (iii) government and
corporate information systems and services and (iv) international
services. A decision was made to exit the communication services
business in 1991. All remaining communication services contracts are
expected to expire during the coming fiscal year ending May 31, 1995,
and the amount of future business is not material.
HEALTH CARE APPLICATION SYSTEMS AND SERVICES (HCASS)
HCASS is a leading provider of a full range of products and
services to address health care cost containment and improved patient
care issues. The Company's complete line of products includes practice
management systems and electronic claims processing, adjudication and
payment systems, funding capabilities and clinical data base
information for pharmacies, dentists, physicians, hospitals, HMO's,
clinics and nursing homes. Approximately 31% of the Company's revenue
in fiscal 1994 was derived from these products and services. This is
the fastest growing portion of the Company's business.
The Company's DataStat pharmacy practice management systems
provide solutions for independent and chain pharmacies, hospitals,
HMO's, clinics and nursing homes. The systems enable the pharmacist to
manage and perform patient registration, drug record-keeping, private
and third-party billing, inventory control and ordering, automatic price
updating, management reporting and drug database updates to detect
clinical dispensing and prescribing errors. DataStat systems provide
value-added claims processing and switching services as well. The
services are offered through systems that are sold and maintained by the
Company and tailored to the needs of users utilizing micro- and mini-
computer platforms selected for the needs of each particular customer.
The Company's electronic point-of-sale systems meet the requirements of
retail pharmacies and are fully integrated into the DataStat product
line, providing credit and debit card processing capabilities and other
associated functions such as inventory reporting and ordering.
During fiscal 1994 the Company brought to market the NDC Dental
System and began shipping in August 1994. The NDC Dental System
operates in a Windows environment on IBM compatible personal computers.
This new system incorporates the business automation functions of the
DataStat dental system with advanced clinical functionality. The
Company's DataStat dental practice management system is designed to
provide dentists with patient record accounting, patient scheduling and
recall, billing and collection, and insurance claims information and
electronic processing to improve the efficiency of office management.
In July 1994 the Company acquired the assets and business of
Lytec Systems, Inc. ("Lytec"), a Salt Lake City, Utah based provider of
practice management systems to the physician market. Lytec is a leading
provider of practice management syst ems to this market, with
approximately 6,000 users. The Lytec products complement the Company's
current practice management and value-added transaction processing
capabilities.
The Company's EasyClaim real-time electronic claims processing
service is offered to pharmacies, dentists, hospitals, HMO's and
preferred provider organizations. The service includes eligibility
verification, patient-specific benefit coverage, claims data capture and
editing, claim adjudication, and retrospective and prospective drug
utilization review. Electronic claims processing represents the
Company's fastest growing service. The network includes approximately
49,000 health care provider locations. Approximately 375 million real-
time electronic claims were processed in fiscal 1994, increasing 50%
over the prior year.
The Company's practice management systems are primarily marketed
directly through the Company's personnel and jointly with pharmaceutical
wholesalers. The practice management system for the physicians' market
is sold through third parties and direct marketing. There is no
dominant competitor in the practice management systems market. The
Company competes principally with General Computer Corporation, QS/1 and
the 3PM unit of McKesson Corporation in the pharmacy systems market.
The principal competitors in the dental systems market are Softdent and
Dentech. The main competitors in the physicians' system market are The
Computer Place's MediSoft product and Medical Manager, sold by Systems
Plus, Inc.
In the electronic claims processing market, in which the
Company's services are offered directly through Company personnel, the
Company's principal competitors are General Computer Corporation, Envoy
Corporation, and Electronic Data Systems. The Company believes that it
is the leading provider of real-time electronic claims processing
services based on the number of transactions processed. Its value-
added services, such as adjudication and clinical data bases, help
distinguish the Company from those competitors who only serve as a
transaction switch.
Revenue for HCASS products and services is based upon software
license fees and purchase or lease payments for the practice management
systems, together with recurring monthly maintenance and support fees,
as well as upgrade charges for new applications capabilities. Fees for
the electronic claims processing services are based on a per transaction
rate, with the rate varying depending upon the scope of services
provided.
INTEGRATED PAYMENT SYSTEMS
The Company's Integrated Payment Systems ("IPS") unit provides a
wide range of payment system alternatives to the retail, health care
and government segments of this market. Its name was changed from
"Retail Application Systems and Services" to reflect the significant
changes made during this past fiscal year to broaden the product lines
and distribution channels in this area. Credit card, debit card, check
verification and check guarantee services are provided through direct
distribution to merchants as well as indirectly through financial
institutions. Approximately 55% of the Company's fiscal 1994 revenue
was derived from these services.
The services provided by this unit, for both the direct and
indirect distribution channels, include credit and debit card
authorization, data capture and product and customer support functions,
primarily for VISA and MasterCard bank cards. All major cards are
supported, however, including American Express, Discover and private
label cards. In addition, for merchants with a direct relationship,
the Company performs the financial settlement between the merchant and
the card associations . With the direct relationship the Company
performs a variety of services, including a thorough credit review of
all prospective merchants. Other functions performed include funding of
the credit/debit card sale, reconciliation of the financial settlement
and resolution of disputes between the Company's merchants and the
cardholder. Fees for these services are principally based on the dollar
volume of transactions processed directly for merchants and a per
transaction rate for financial institutions where the Company indirectly
serves the merchant.
In June 1994 the Company expanded its payment system services to
include check guarantee in addition to check verification services.
This was done through the acquisition of the assets and business of Yes
Check, Inc. Check verification differs from check guarantee in that in
the former the Company verifies that the individual presenting a check
at the point-of-sale does not have a history of writing uncollectable
checks. In the case of check guarantee, the Company not only verifies
the transaction; it also guarantees the retailer that it will be paid.
If a check is not paid, the Company reimburses the retailer and assumes
the right to collect from the individual writing the check. Fees in the
check verification business are based on a per transaction rate, whereas
fees in the check guarantee market are based upon a percentage, or
discount, of the face value of each check guaranteed by the Company.
During fiscal 1994 the Company announced its new procurement
card service. This service is aimed at corporate purchases of high-
volume, small dollar items. The product is credit card-based and is
intended to significantly reduce the cost of making such small
purchases, while at the same time provide the corporate purchasing
department needed controls and management information relating to its
purchases.
The Company provides credit and debit authorizations utilizing
dial terminals, electronic cash registers, and proprietary personal
computer applications. These systems provide financial institutions and
merchants with a comprehensive, nation wide authorization network for
credit cards, debit cards and checks. They also provide information
data collection and reporting through point-of-sale terminal devices
located at the merchant's place of business. Authorization requests are
transmitted from the merchant to the Company and then to the
appropriate source of the purchaser's credit file. The response is then
relayed to the merchant. Approximately 95% of all transactions
authorized are processed electronically.
The Company also provides electronic data capture (EDC) systems
which incorporate the capabilities of its electronic point-of-sale
authorization system, combined with enhanced software, to enable the
Company to electronically capture the entire transaction and transmit
the necessary value-added information directly to the Company's central
computer system for faster clearing through the banking system. This
allows the merchant organization quicker access to its funds and avoids
the necessity and cost of physically processing paper charge slips.
Specialized value-added applications for specialty retailers,
restaurants, hotels and oil companies are marketed by the Company. In
addition, EDC is included in certain of the Company's he alth care
application systems and services products.
The Company's tax payment product provides for the electronic
payment of corporate taxes. The Company initiates the electronic funds
transfer process for payment of the taxes due, while delivering the
information summary to the appropriate government agency. The Company's
tax filing product provides electronic filing of corporate tax returns.
The Company markets its integrated payment products and services
principally through its bank relationships, independent contractors and
its own personnel. The principal competition includes First Data
Corporation, First Financial Management Corporation and Card
Establishment Services, Inc., depending on the particular market
segment. Revenue in the IPS market has been affected by several
industry trends. First, the continued shift from voice to electronic
transaction processing has negatively impacted revenue due to the
significant difference in price per transaction. Second, the sale by
banks of their merchant processing businesses and the resulting loss of
their merchant customers if the acquirer performs its own processing h
as adversely affected revenue. Third, portions of the IPS market also
experienced continued price competition in fiscal 1994 and the Company
believes this pressure will continue. The pressure has reflected
itself in a lower price per transaction trend in the indirect portion
of the IPS business. However, the Company's price adjustments have
been partially offset by higher volume and longer term contract
commitments from customers. At the same time, the Company has reduced
its costs of doing business through the use of new technology, new
telecommunications arrangements and internal productivity programs.
Operating nationwide and serving approximately 80,000 merchant
locations directly, and over 200 financial institutions supporting an
estimated 270,000 merchant locations, the Company is one of the leading
merchant processing companies in the nation.
GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND SERVICES (GCISS)
GCISS services include cash management, tax payment and filing,
information reporting and electronic data interchange (EDI). The
services are designed to provide financial, management and operational
data to corporate and government institutions worldwide. Approximately
10% of the Company's fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from these
services.
Cash management products and services provide an electronic
window for the transmission of financial and other information
worldwide. GCISS provides solutions to meet corporate needs including
multi-bank, multi-currency account activity; balance and transaction
detail information; wire transfer capabilities; automated clearinghouse
(ACH) funds transfer initiations; and cash concentration services.
Corporate and government organizations use these services to collect,
consolidate and report financial, administrative and operating data from
more than 200,000 locations.
The Company's EDI service translates business-to-business
communications into standard or custom formats allowing the customer to
electronically exchange payments and remittance information with its
trading partners.
The Company's bank deposit reporting, bank balance reporting,
and other financial and information services are offered in competition
with systems operated in-house by banks, with systems offered by other
third parties and with methods traditionally used by companies to
report and compile bank deposits.
INTERNATIONAL SERVICES
Internationally, the Company provides certain of its products
and services. These include the credit and debit card processing, cash
management, information reporting and health care application systems
and services products discussed above. Services are marketed in
Europe, Canada and Japan through the Company's personnel. Approximately
2% of the Company's fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from these
services.
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
The Company is exiting this business. Communications services
include operator services offered to both long distance and local
exchange telecommunications carriers. The Company has reduced its
dependence on communications services since the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1991 when the Company decided to phase down
this portion of its business. A small volume of communications services
business continues at this time. The Company expects that substantially
all of this business will be terminated during fiscal 1995.
Approximately 2% of the Company's fiscal 1994 revenue was derived from
these services.
At the end of fiscal 1993 the Company arranged an outsourcing
arrangement with a third party to buffer its work load as this business
was phased down. The Company also transferred its Tucker, Georgia,
voice center to this third party. In conjunction with the transaction,
the Company entered into an agreement to obtain certain voice operator
services from the purchaser for a three year period to supplement the
Company's remaining voice centers located in Dallas, Texas and Toronto,
Canada.
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS
Approximately 4% of the Company's total revenue during fiscal
1994 was derived from contracts with, or as a subcontractor of
contractors with, the United States government. All such contracts and
subcontracts are generally subject to termination at the convenience of
the United States Government whenever it believes that such termination
would be in its best interests. Under contracts and subcontracts
terminated for the convenience of the United States government, the
Company is generally entitled to receive payment for work completed and
allowable termination costs.
Operations
The Company maintains two computer processing sites in Atlanta,
Georgia and one in Los Angeles, California supporting its real-time,
on-line network. The Company also maintains remote processing
facilities in Toronto, Canada; London, England and Dallas, Texas.
Tandem fault tolerant front-end processors along with UNISYS
multi-processor computers are utilized as the primary transaction
processors for real-time applications. The computers run in a co-
processor mode enabling them to continue to function in the event a
single processor fails. Information from all point-of-sale terminal
devices is received by the Tandem front-end communication systems. The
Tandem systems determine the availability of mainframe computers and
then route transactions to the appropriate system.
The Company's communications network is a redundant system. All
nodes are backed up and are serviced by at least two high-speed lines.
Each network link has built in software to monitor the network on a
continuing basis. The communications network has been designed to
operate on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis without scheduled down time .
Competition
The Company has a number of actual and potential competitors as
to all of the systems and services that it offers. In addition to the
competition described above in the discussion of the Company's lines of
business, many of the Company's services receive direct competition as
a result of the marketing efforts of computer manufacturers to encourage
businesses to purchase or lease the manufacturers' computers and
establish in-house systems. In addition to this actual competition, the
Com pany believes that there are several companies that have the
capability to offer some of the Company's services in competition with
the Company, certain of which are substantially larger than the Company.
The Company believes that its ability to off er integrated solutions to
its customers, including hardware, software, processing and network
facilities, is a positive factor pertaining to the competitive position
of the Company. The Company recognizes, however, that its industry
segment is increasingly competitive.
Product Development
During the fiscal years ended May 31, 1994, May 31, 1993, and
May 31, 1992, the Company spent approximately $4,708,000, $3,825,000 and
$2,420,000, respectively, on activities relating to the development of
new products, services and techniques, and on the improvement and
maintenance of existing products, services and techniques.
Employees
As of May 31, 1994 the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately
1,000 full-time employees and 525 hourly, variable labor employees.

constructed six-story, 120,000 square foot corporate headquarters
building adjacent to the One National Data Plaza building in Atlanta,
Georgia. Permanent financing for the building of $ 12,000,000 is at a
fixed rate of 9.375% per year for a 10-year term and 30 year
amortization. See Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company owns or leases a variety of computers and other
computer equipment for its operational needs. In recent years the
Company has significantly upgraded and expanded its computers and
related equipment in order to increase efficiency, enhance reliability,
and provide the necessary base for business expansion.
The Company believes that its facilities and equipment are
suitable and adequate for the business of the Company as presently
conducted.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and certain of its previous officers were party to
three lawsuits, which were consolidated as "National Data Corporation
Shareholder Litigation". The Plaintiffs, purporting to act on behalf of
a class, alleged violations of rule 10(b) (5) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 under a "fraud on the market" theory for alleged
misrepresentations and omissions relating to expected earnings which
resulted in, the plaintiffs contended, the Company's common stock being
overvalu ed in the market. The Company and the plaintiffs signed an
agreement in September, 1993 to settle this matter for $6,950,000. The
Company's insurer bore two-thirds of the settlement and related future
costs. The cost to the Company, net of insurance proceeds, was approximately
$2,500,000. Both the Company and its insurer paid their full share of the
settlement amount on December 1, 1993, and the settlement received final
approval from the court in December, 1993.

Overview
________________________________________________________________________
Revenue
Total revenue for fiscal 1994 was $204,006,000, a decrease of $550,000 (less
than 1%) from revenue of $204,556,000 for the previous year. The reduction was
due principally to two factors. The decision to exit the Communication Services
business caused a decline in revenue of $3,733,000 from the prior fiscal year.
Also, the Integrated Payment Systems business continues to be impacted by the
shift from voice to electronic authorization, as well as declining price trends
on new transactions in the indirect business, resulting in a decline in revenue
of $1,366,000. These decreases were offset by an increase of $6,737,000 in the
Health Care Application Systems and Services business principally due to
increased electronic claims transaction volume. A more detailed discussion of
the business unit results follows.
Integrated Payment Systems (IPS) revenue for fiscal 1994 was $112,427,000, a
decrease of $1,366,000 (1%) from revenue of $113,793,000 for the prior year,
with the decline occurring principally in the indirect (distribution through
banks) side of the business. The indirect business represents approximately 45%
of total IPS revenues.
Direct revenue increased $2,387,000 (4%). Transaction volumes processed
increased by 4% and terminal sales and fees increased as well, primarily as a
result of a sales expansion program.
Indirect revenue decreased $3,753,000 (7%). Voice authorization revenue
decreased $561,000 (6%) and electronic authorization and data capture revenue
decreased $3,192,000 (7%). The decrease in voice authorization revenue is
attributable to a continued shift of business to electronic authorizations due
to lower prices to the merchants and a higher quality of service. Voice
authorization processing volume declined approximately 10% in the period and now
represents 8% of total IPS revenue. The decrease in electronic authorization
and data capture revenue was primarily the result of price reductions of
approximately 7%. The number of electronic authorization and data capture
transactions processed increased modestly in the current year.
Health Care Application Systems and Services (HCASS) revenue for fiscal 1994 was
$63,005,000, an increase of $6,737,000 (12%) from revenue of $56,268,000 for the
prior year.
Electronic Claims Processing revenue increased $9,663,000 (50%). This increase
was the result of a 51% increase in claims processed for the current customer
base and new customers added this year. The Company expects the growth trends in
electronic claims processing to continue. Pharmacy/Dental Practice Management
Systems revenue decreased $1,970,000 (7%) in fiscal 1994. This was primarily
the result of decreased sales of the microcomputer-based pharmacy and dental
practice management systems (DataStat) which was affected by the introduction of
a new Dental prodect. This was offset by an increase in recurring maintenance
revenue associated with the growing installed systems base. Revenue from sales
to government and institutional customers decreased $956,000 (10%), primarily as
a result of decreased turnkey systems sales to institutional customers and
overall reductions in defense department spending.
Government and Corporate Information Systems and Services revenue
for fiscal 1994 was $20,565,000, a decrease of $984,000 (5%) from revenue of
$21,549,000 for the prior year. Reduced demand for cash management services is
caused largely by a trend toward movement of these services to in-house,
microcomputer-based systems. The reductions were partially offset by the
emerging electronic tax filing/payment systems and applications for electronic
data interchange (EDI).
Other revenue for fiscal 1994 was $8,009,000, a decrease of $4,937,000 (38%)
from revenue of $12,946,000 for the prior year. This decrease was primarily the
result of the Company's decision to exit the communication services market in
1991. The Company anticipates that this revenue will cease in the first quarter
of fiscal 1995 as contracts with various customers expire. Weak economies in
Europe and Japan and the same cash management demand trends noted previously are
the primary causes of the revenue decline in the International business.
Costs and Expenses
________________________________________________________________________
Total cost of service was $117,208,000 for fiscal 1994. This was a decrease of
$5,329,000 (4%) from last year. This decrease was largely the result of a
reduction in cost of operations of $2,662,000 (3%), consisting principally of
payroll and telecommunications cost reductions. Hardware costs decreased
$1,251,000 (11%), directly related to volume associated with reduced sales of
healthcare practice management systems. Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased $1,411,000 (9%) from last year.
Gross Margin increased to 43% from 40% in the prior year.
Sales, general and administrative expense was $68,411,000 for fiscal 1994.
This is an increase of $1,413,000 (2%) from the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to sales expansion programs in the Integrated
Payment Systems and the Healthcare Application Systems and Services areas.
The Company reflected a charge of $2,500,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1994, representing the settlement costs of a lawsuit brought against
the Company. (See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of this item).
Interest and Other Income
________________________________________________________________________
Interest and other income for fiscal 1994 was $1,489,000, a decrease of
$1,043,000 (41%) below the prior year of $2,532,000. This decrease was
principally a result of a decrease in interest income. The lower interest
income resulted from the Company's sale of its pharmacy and dental systems lease
portfolio in fiscal 1993 (see note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Interest and Other Expense
________________________________________________________________________
Interest and other expense for fiscal year 1994 was $2,517,000, a decrease of
$400,000 (14%) from the prior year's interest of $2,917,000. This decrease was
largely attributable to lower borrowings on the Company's line of credit, a
decrease in interest rates and a decrease in the imputed interest rate
associated with earn-out liabilities relating to the Company's purchase of
several merchant processing businesses.
Income Taxes
________________________________________________________________________
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of taxable income, was 35% and
42% for the years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decreased rate
in the current year is primarily due to research and development tax credits.
The Company expects this reduced rate to continue.
Net Income
________________________________________________________________________
Net income for fiscal 1994 was $9,710,000, an increase of $1,221,000 (14%), as
compared to fiscal 1993 net income of $8,489,000. Earnings per share for fiscal
1994 were $0.75, an increase of $0.07 (10%) from last year. The weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for fiscal
1994 was 12,987,000, an increase of 453,000 (4%) as compared to fiscal 1993.

Overview
________________________________________________________________________
Revenue
Total revenue for fiscal 1993 was $204,556,000, a decrease of $11,930,000 (6%)
from revenue of $216,486,000 for the previous year. The reduction was due
principally to two factors. The decision to exit the Communication Services
business caused a decline in revenue of $7,593,000 from the prior fiscal year.
Also, the Integrated Payment Systems business was impacted by the shift from
voice to electronic authorization, as well as price trends on new transactions
in the indirect business, resulting in a decline in revenue of $7,981,000.
These decreases were offset by an increase of $8,533,000 in the
Health Care Application Systems and Services business principally due to
increased electronic claims transaction volume. A more detailed discussion of
the business unit results follows.
Integrated Payment Systems (IPS) revenue for fiscal 1993 was $113,793,000, a
decrease of $7,981,000 (7%) from revenue of $121,774,000 for the prior year,
with the decline occurring principally in the indirect (distribution through
banks) side of the business. The indirect business represented approximately
50% of total IPS revenues.
Direct revenue decreased $2,007,000 (3%); however, transaction volumes processed
increased by 12% and terminal sales and fees increased as well. Increased
transaction volume had a favorable revenue impact of $5,104,000, primarily as a
result of improved sales productivity. Terminal sales and other fees increased
$440,000. These increases were offset by a reduction in the prices charged to
merchants of $7,550,000, or approximately 15%, along with a shift from paper
to electronic-based processing.
Indirect revenue decreased $5,974,000 (10%). Voice authorization revenue
decreased $2,608,000 (21%) and electronic authorization and data capture revenue
decreased $3,367,000 (7%). The decrease in voice authorization revenue is
attributable to a continued shift of business to electronic authorizations due
to lower prices to the merchants and a higher quality of service. Voice
authorization processing volume declined approximately 20% in the period and
represents 9% of the total IPS revenue. The decrease in electronic
authorization and data capture revenue was primarily the result of price
reductions of 10%. The number of electronic authorization and data capture
transactions processed were essentially the same in both periods.
Health Care Application Systems and Services (HCASS) revenue for fiscal 1993 was
$56,268,000, an increase of $8,533,000 (18%) from revenue of $47,735,000 for the
prior year.
Electronic Claims Processing revenue increased $5,173,000 (36%). This increase
was the result of a 48% increase in claims processed for the current customer
base and new customers. Pharmacy/Dental Practice Management Systems revenue
increased $3,442,000 (14%) in fiscal 1993. This was primarily the result of
increased sales of the microcomputer-based pharmacy and dental practice
management systems (DataStat) and an increase in recurring maintenance revenue
associated with the growing installed customer base. Revenue from sales to
government and institutional customers decreased $82,000 (1%), primarily as a
result of decreased turnkey systems sales to institutional customers and overall
reductions in defense department spending.
Government and Corporate Information Systems and Services revenue
for fiscal 1993 was $21,549,000, a decrease of $3,218,000 (13%) from revenue of
$24,767,000 for the prior year. Reduced demand for cash management services in
a period of low interest rates and a trend toward movement of these services to
in-house, microcomputer-based systems are largely responsible for these
reductions.
Other revenue for fiscal 1993 was $12,946,000, a decrease of $9,264,000 (42%)
from revenue of $22,210,000 for the prior year. This decrease was primarily the
result of the Company's decision to exit the communication services market in
1991. Weak economies in Europe and Japan and the same cash management demand
trends noted previously are the primary causes of the revenue decline in the
International business.
Cost and Expenses
________________________________________________________________________
Total cost of service was $122,537,000 for fiscal 1993. This was a decrease of
$8,032,000 (6%) from last year. This decrease was largely the result of a
reduction in cost of operations of $11,100,000 (10%), consisting principally of
payroll and telecommunications cost reductions. Hardware costs increased
$2,700,000 (32%), directly related to volume associated with sales of healthcare
practice management systems and point-of-sale terminal devices in the retail
market. Depreciation and amortization expense was essentially flat at
approximately $16,000,000 in both periods.
Gross Margin realized for each year was 40%.
Sales, general and administrative expense was $66,998,000 for fiscal 1993. This
is a decrease of $4,244,000 (6%) from the prior year. The decrease was the
result of cost containment programs focused on elimination of redundancy and
non-essential activities. The programs were initiated in the second quarter of
fiscal 1993. As a percentage of revenue, sales, general and administrative
expenses for fiscal 1993 and 1992 were 33% in both periods.
Interest and Other Income
________________________________________________________________________
Interest and other income for fiscal 1993 was relatively unchanged at
$2,532,000, compared to the prior year of $2,512,000.
Interest and Other Expense
________________________________________________________________________
Interest and other expense for fiscal year 1993 was $2,917,000, a decrease
of $1,479,000 (34%) from the prior year's interest expense of $4,396,000.
This decrease was largely attributable to lower borrowings on the Company's
line of credit, a decrease in interest rates and a decrease in the imputed
interest rate associated with earn-out liabilities relating to the Company's
purchase of several merchant processing businesses.
Income Taxes
________________________________________________________________________
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of taxable income, was 42% for
both periods.
Net Income
________________________________________________________________________
Net income for fiscal 1993 was $8,489,000, an increase of $1,070,000 (14%),
as compared to fiscal 1992 net income of $7,419,000. Earnings per share for
fiscal 1993 were $0.68, an increase of $0.06 (10%) from last year. The
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
for fiscal 1993 was 12,534,000, an increase of 505,000 (4%) as compared to
fiscal 1992.

increase of $5,681,000 (17%), compared to the prior year of $32,951,000. The
improvement is principally related to a reduction in accounts
receivable balances as a result of increased emphasis placed on asset
management.
Cash used in investing activities was $10,291,000 compared to cash provided by
investing activities of $15,463,000 in the prior year. In fiscal 1994, the
Company made investments in capital assets of approximately $15,357,000 as
compared to $8,237,000 in fiscal 1993. Last year the Company generated
approximately $19,257,000 in cash by selling a majority of its' lease portfolio.
Net cash used in financing activities was $7,433,000, a decrease of $26,203,000
from the prior year. Proceeds from the sale of common stock to employees
increased $1,754,000 in the current year. In addition, payments of $24,500,000
were made by the Company to pay-off its line of credit and note payable in
fiscal 1993. No borrowings were made against the line of credit in fiscal 1994.
Dividends of approximately $5,500,000 and $5,300,000 were paid in fiscal 1994
and 1993, respectively.
Subsequent to year-end, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 committed,
working capital line of credit with two banks expiring in August 1995. The
Company believes funds generated from operations along with its committed line
of credit and the $38,012,000 cash on hand will be adequate to meet normal
business operating needs. In addition to the working capital line of credit,
the Company obtained a committed $40,000,000 acquisition line of credit which
expires in August of 1996.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity increased $8,070,000 (8%), from May 31, 1993 to
$109,331,000 at May 31, 1994.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
_____________________________________________________________
Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue - Revenue from major software license agreements is
recognized upon installation. Revenue associated with the
Company's government cost-plus contracts and all other
revenue is recognized as work is completed or services are
performed.
Other receivables - Other receivables consist primarily of
reimbursable amounts associated with the merchant processing
operation.
Inventory - Inventory, which is composed primarily of
microcomputer hardware and peripheral equipment and
electronic point-of-sale terminals, is stated at lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined by using the first-in,
first-out method.
Investment in sales-type leases - The Company's leasing
operations consist principally of noncancelable leases of
computer equipment and software, generally covering five
years. Accordingly, the present value of all payments due
under the lease contract is recorded as revenue at the
inception of the lease and shipment of the equipment.
Interest income is recorded over the lease term (see also
Note 7).
Property and equipment - Property and equipment is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and
primarily accelerated methods for tax purposes. Equipment is
depreciated over two-to five-year lives, and the building is
depreciated over a 40-year life. Leasehold improvements and
property acquired under capital leases are amortized over the
shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the
lease. The costs of purchased and internally developed
software used to provide services to customers or internal
administrative services are capitalized and amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, up to
five years. Work in Progress consists of capital projects
currently under development (see also Note 8).
Acquired intangibles and goodwill - Acquired intangibles
primarily represent customer contracts and covenants-not-to-
compete associated with the Company's acquisitions. Acquired
intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives of 4 to 20 years. Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over
the fair market value of their tangible and identifiable net
assets. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis
predominantly over 20 years. Subsequent to an acquisition,
the Company regularly evaluates whether events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying amount
of goodwill may warrant revision or may not be recoverable.
When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for
possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the
future undiscounted net cash flows of the related businesses
over the remaining life of the goodwill in measuring whether
the goodwill is recoverable (see also Note 2).
Income taxes - The Company files income tax returns on the
accrual basis. Deferred income taxes are provided for all
timing differences in reporting transactions for financial
reporting and income tax purposes (see also Note 3).
Earn-out payables - Earn-out payables represent the present
value of estimated future payments under the earn-out
agreements related to the Company's business acquisitions
(see also Note 2).
Foreign currency translation - The financial statements of
foreign subsidiaries have been remeasured from their
functional currency into U.S. dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52.
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of reporting cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
unrestricted amounts deposited with banks.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made
to the fiscal 1993 and 1992 consolidated financial statements
to conform to the fiscal 1994 presentation.
Earnings per common share - Earnings per common and common
equivalent share on a primary basis are computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common equivalent shares represent stock options that, if
exercised, would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. All options with an exercise price less than the
average market share price for the period are assumed to have
a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Earnings per common and common equivalent share on a fully
diluted basis are computed by the same method as described
for primary earnings per share except that the higher of
(1) the ending market share price or (2) the average market
share price is used to compute the fully diluted earnings per
share, as compared to the average market share price for
primary earnings per share.
The primary and fully diluted weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding is as follows
(in thousands):
Year Ended May 31,
1994 1993 1992
Primary 12,987 12,534 12,029
Fully Diluted 12,987 12,535 12,029
Note 2 - Business Acquisitions
_____________________________________________________________
During fiscal year 1992, the Company acquired the merchant
credit card processing contracts of Signet Bank for
$9,395,000.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase;
accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired
business from the date of acquisition, which were not
material, have been included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. The purchase consisted of a single cash
payment.
For all portfolios acquired, the acquired assets and
liabilities, including the acquired intangibles and
liabilities for earn-out payments (if any), were originally
recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements
based on preliminary estimates of their fair market values at
the date of acquisition. These estimates are revised as
necessary upon final appraisal of the acquired assets,
primarily acquired intangibles, and determination of actual
earn-out payments, if any. During fiscal 1994 and fiscal
1993, the purchase price and earn-out liabilities related to
prior fiscal year acquisitions were increased by $564,000 and
reduced by $770,000, respectively, to reflect actual earn-out
payments and current estimates of future earn-out payments.
In addition, the Company increased interest expense by
$230,000 and reduced interest expense by $278,000 in fiscal
1994 and 1993, respectively, to adjust accrued interest on
earn-out liabilities based on revised estimates.
The changes in acquired intangibles and goodwill for fiscal
years 1994 and 1993 are summarized below (in thousands):
Balance at May 31, 1992 $53,264

Note 4 - Stockholder's Equity
_____________________________________________________________
Stock Option Plans - The Company had two employee option
plans at May 31, 1994, the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(1982 Plan) and the 1987 Stock Option Plan (1987 Plan). All
stock option plans in existence in prior years were
terminated upon adoption of the 1987 Plan. The 1982 and 1987
Plans provide for granting options, to certain officers and
key employees, to purchase the Company's common stock at
prices not less than fair market value at the time of grant.
Options granted become exercisable in various annual
increments and terminate over a period not to exceed six
years for the 1982 Plan and ten years for the 1987 Plan.
Transactions in stock options under these plans are
summarized as follows:
Option Price

Exercised (239,543)
Expired or terminated (182,587)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Outstanding at May 31, 1994 1,481,925 $8.00 - $33.75
At May 31, 1994, there were 643,783 shares available for
future grants under the 1987 Plan and no shares available for
grant under the 1982 Plan.
Other Stock Plans - The Company has an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan under which the sale of 600,000 shares of its
common stock has been authorized. Employees may designate up
to the lesser of $25,000 or 20% of their annual compensation
for the purchase of stock. The price for shares purchased
under the plan is the lower of 85% of market value on the
first day or the last day of the purchase period. At May 31,
1994, 564,106 shares have been issued under this plan with
35,894 shares reserved for future issuance.
The Company also has a Non-employee Directors Stock Option
Plan which provides for grants of options, consisting of
5,000 shares of the Company's common stock for each completed
year of service, to directors who are not employees of the
Company. A maximum of five options may be granted to each
such director, and the maximum number of shares for which
options may be granted is 230,000. The options are
exercisable immediately at the current market value on the
date of grant. During fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992,
options for 25,000, 25,000 and 30,000 shares, respectively,
were issued under the Plan and none were exercised. As of
May 31, 1994, 35,000 shares were available for future grants.
The Company's 1983 Restricted Stock Plan (Restricted Plan)
authorizes 325,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be
awarded to key employees. Shares awarded under the
Restricted Plan are held in escrow and released to the
grantee upon the grantee's satisfaction of conditions of
the grantee's restricted stock agreement. Awards are
recorded as deferred compensation, a reduction of
stockholder's equity based on the quoted fair market value of
the Company's common stock at the award date. Compensation
expense is recognized ratably during the escrow period of the
award.
During fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992, 49,500, 109,000 and
10,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock
were awarded under the Restricted Plan with restriction
periods of one to four years. As of May 31, 1994, 122,167
shares remain in escrow. There were 56,500 shares reserved
for future issuance under this plan. The Company expensed
$744,000, $391,000 and $327,000 for the years ended May 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, in connection with the
Restricted Plan.
The Company's 1984 Employee Stock Ownership Plan was
dissolved in fiscal year 1993, and all shares escrowed were
distributed to eligible employees. At May 31, 1994, no
shares remain in escrow to be distributed to employees.
Note 5 - Pension Plan:
_____________________________________________________________
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension
plan covering substantially all of its United States
employees who have met the eligibility provisions of the
plan. Benefits are based on years of service and the
employee's compensation during the highest five consecutive
years of earnings of the last ten years of service. Plan
provisions and funding meet the requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and

Net Pension Expense (Benefit) $ 911 $ 723 $ (42)
============================
Significant assumptions used in determining net pension
expense (benefit) and related obligations were as follows:
May 31,
1994 1993
Discount rate 7.75% 8.25%
Rate of increase in compensation
levels 4.33% 4.00%
Expected long-term rate of
return on assets 10.00% 10.00%
The Company terminated 339 and 158 employees in fiscal 1994
and 1993, respectively. These terminations were accounted
for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 88, "Employer's Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits," and the resulting curtailment loss of
$66,000 and $89,000 in the years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, is included in the net pension expense.
On December 18, 1991, the Company adopted a retirement plan
for non-employee directors of the Company with five or more
years of service (The Directors' Plan). The Directors' Plan
benefits are based on 50% of the annual Director retainer
amount in effect on the date of a director's retirement
plus 10% for each year of service up to 100% of the base
amount for ten years' service. The benefits are payable upon
retirement, at or after age 70, for a period equal to the
number of years of service as a Director but not more than 15
years for participants with 15 or more years of Board Service
as of the effective date of the Directors' Plan and not more
than 10 years for all other participants. The expense
related to the Directors' Plan was immaterial in both fiscal
1994 and 1993.
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 112, "Employer's Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires the
accrual of the expected cost of such benefits during the
employees' years of service. Adoption of this statement is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993.
The new standard will not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
Note 6 - Lease Obligations
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Company conducts a major part of its operations using
leased facilities and equipment. Many of these leases have
renewal and purchase options and provide that the Company pay
the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance.
Rent expense on all operating leases for fiscal years 1994,
1993 and 1992 was $4,392,000, $5,128,000 and $5,488,000,
respectively.

Note 7 - Sales-type Leases:
_____________________________________________________________
The Company has entered into sales-type leases with customers
for certain of its computer equipment and software products.
The components of the Company's investment in such leases at
May 31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows (in thousands):
1994 1993
Total future minimum lease
payments to be received 5,746 $13,662

---------------------
Net investment in sales-

=====================
In fiscal 1994 and 1993, the Company sold approximately
$11,903,000 and $21,831,000, respectively, of its sales-type
leases to a third party. These sales have been reflected as
reductions in the above investment balances. The related
gains, which were not material, have been recorded as other
income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Under the terms of the sales, the purchaser has recourse to
the Company should certain amounts of the leases prove to be
uncollectible. For the majority of the leases, this recourse
is limited to 20% of the outstanding balance of leases sold;
however, certain leases were sold with full recourse. The
anticipated loss on the maximum recourse amount of $5,413,000
and $ 5,183,000 at May 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, is
not material and is included in other current liabilities in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
At May 31, 1994, the future minimum lease payments scheduled
to be received in each of the five succeeding years and
thereafter were as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending May 31, Amount

Note 8 - Software Costs:
_____________________________________________________________
The following table sets forth information regarding the
Company's software costs for the years ended May 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992 (in thousands):
1994 1993 1992
Unamortized software costs $7,641 $6,596 $6,892
Capitalization of internally
developed software 1,450 1,651 883
Research and development
primarily associated with
software development 4,708 3,825 2,420
Software amortization expense 2,209 2,310 2,976
The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of certain
software products. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 86, capitalization of costs begins when technological
feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available
for general release to customers. Amortization is computed on an
individual product basis and has been recognized for those products
available for market based on the products' estimated economic lives,
not to exceed 5 years.
Note 9 - Mortgage Payable:
_____________________________________________________________
The Company has permanent financing on its headquarters
building consisting of a $12,000,000 mortgage at a 9.375%
fixed rate due in 1997. Principal payments due on the
mortgage are as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending May 31, Amount
-------------------------------------------------------------
1995 $ 149
1996 164
1997 10,936
-----------
$ 11,249
===========
The carrying amount approximates its fair value because the
interest rate on the mortgage approximates the current market
rates.
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
____________________________________________________________
The Company and certain of its previous officers were party
to three lawsuits, which were consolidated as "National Data
Corporation Shareholder Litigation." The plaintiffs,
purporting to act on behalf of a class, alleged violations
of rule 10(b)(5) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
under a "fraud on the market" theory for alleged
misrepresentations and omissions relating to expected
earnings which resulted in, the plaintiffs contend, the
Company's common stock being overvalued in the market. The
Company and the plaintiffs signed an agreement on September
27, 1993 to settle this matter for $6,950,000. The Company's
insurer bore two-thirds of the settlement and related future
costs. The cost to the Company, net of insurance proceeds,
was approximately $2,500,000. Both the Company and its insurer
paid their full share of the settlement amount on December 1,
1993, and the settlement received final approval from the court
on December 16, 1993.
The Company is party to a number of other claims and lawsuits
incidental to its business. In the opinion of management,
the ultimate outcome of such matters, in the aggregate, will
not have a material adverse impact upon the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
Subsequent to year-end, the Company entered into a
$15,000,000 committed line of credit with two banks to fund
the Company's working capital requirements. In addition, the
Company obtained a two-year $40,000,000 line of credit for
acquisitions. Borrowings under these agreements bear
interest at the prime rate less 1% and the prime rate,
respectively. The lines of credit are not secured. The
agreements require the Company to maintain certain financial
ratios and contain other restrictive covenants. The working
capital line of credit expires in August 1995, and the
acquisition line of credit expires in August 1996.
As of May 31, 1994, the Company processed credit card
transactions for approximately 80,000 direct merchant locations.
The annual volumes processed for each customer range from
approximately $2,000 to $1 billion. The Company's merchant
customers have liability for charges disputed by cardholders.
However, in the case of merchant fraud, or insolvency or
bankruptcy of the merchant, the Company may be liable for any
of such charges disputed by cardholders. The Company
requires cash deposits and other types of collateral by
certain merchants to minimize any such contingent liability.
In addition, the Company believes that the diversification
of its merchant portfolio among industries and geographic
regions minimizes its risk of loss. Based on its historical
loss experience, the Company has established reserves for
estimated losses on transactions processed through May 31,
1994. In the opinion of management, such reserves for losses
are adequate.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of merchant
credit card operations of banks, the Company has also entered
into depository and processing agreements ("the Agreements")
with certain of the banks. These Agreements allow the
Company to use the banks' "Bank Identification Number"
to clear credit card transactions through VISA and
MasterCard. Certain of the Agreements contain financial
covenants, and the Company was in compliance with all such
covenants as of May 31, 1994.
Note 11 - Information on Major Customers and Foreign
Operations:
_____________________________________________________________
The Company operates principally in data processing services
and provides specialized data processing applications
designed to meet the business needs of its customers. The
applications include a variety of Healthcare Application
Systems and Services, Integrated Payment Systems and
Government and Corporate Information Systems and Services.
The Company markets its products internationally and has
sales offices in Canada, Europe and Japan. Revenue from non-
U.S. operations was $4,873,000, $6,077,000 and $7,748,000 for
the years ended May 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Operating losses from foreign operations were $449,000,
$2,102,000, and $1,061,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Assets related to foreign operations are not
significant.
Approximately 4%, 5% and 5% of the Company's total revenue
for the years ended May 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, was derived from contracts with, or as a
subcontractor of contractors with, the United States
government. All such contracts and subcontracts are
generally subject to termination at the convenience of the
United States government, whenever it believes that such
termination would be in its best interests. If such
contracts and subcontracts were terminated for the
convenience of the United States government, the Company is
generally entitled to receive payment for work completed and
allowable termination costs.
Note 12 - Subsequent Events
____________________________________________________________
In June 1994, the assets and certain liabilities of Yes
Check, Inc., were acquired. Yes Check, Inc. is a Chicago-
based check guarantee company with 49 employees. On July 15,
1994, the Company acquired the assets and certain liabilities
of Lytec Systems, Inc., a Salt Lake City company that
develops and markets medical practice management software
with 10 employees. The combined estimated annual revenues for
these acquired companies is $8,000,000.
Both acquisitions require earn-out payments at future dates
that are not estimable at this time. The aggregate price
paid for these acquisitions was $9,150,000.
Note 13 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information:
____________________________________________________________
Supplemental cash flow disclosures, including noncash
investing and financing activities, for the years ended May
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 15 - Merchant Processing Reserves
-----------------------------------------------
The Company processes VISA and MasterCard charges for its
direct merchant customers. The Company's customers have
liability for the charges disputed by the cardholders, based
on VISA and MasterCard rules and regulations. However, in
the case of merchant fraud, insolvency or bankruptcy by the
merchant, the Company may be liable for any such charges
disputed by the cardholder. The Company recognizes revenue
based on a percentage of gross amount charged and has a potential
liability for the full amount of the charge. The Company
establishes reserves for operational charges based on historical
and projected experiences concerning such charges. Expenses of
$787,000, $1,438,000 and $1,941,000 were recorded in the fiscal
periods ending May 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, for
such anticipated losses. (See Note 10 for further description
of contingencies).
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors of
National Data Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National
Data Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of May 31,
1994, and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes
in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended May 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of National Data Corporation and subsidiaries as of May 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 1994 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective June 1,
1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.
