NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Policy Management Systems
Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These
consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses.
Actual results could differ from those estimated. In the opinion of
management, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed.
Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been either condensed or omitted
pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the
disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of
operations, financial position and cash flows. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated according to
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". For the Company, the numerator is the same for the
calculation of both basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation
of the denominator used in the EPS calculations (in thousands):

------ ------
Diluted EPS. . . . . . . . . . . 19,562 18,400
====== ======
Options to purchase 17,550 and 375,000 shares of common stock at $78.94
and $81.90 per share, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in
the computation of diluted EPS for 1998 because the options' exercise prices
were greater than the average market price for the Company's common stock for
the period.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), was issued. SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. The Company adopted SFAS 130 at January 1, 1998 and has included the
appropriate disclosures in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in
Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income.
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP
97-2"). SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying generally accepted accounting
principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions, and is effective
for transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 31,
1997. The Company adopted SOP 97-2 at January 1, 1998. The adoption did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In February 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1
provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed
or obtained for internal use, and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 1998, with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company
adopted SOP 98-1 at January 1, 1998. The adoption did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
OTHER MATTERS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.
NOTE 2. CONTINGENCIES
In March 1994, Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD") brought
suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District
of Colorado alleging breach of a life insurance joint development contract,
unfair trade practices, and fraud. SLD sought direct, indirect, consequential,
and punitive damages in excess of $80 million. In February 1997, following a
jury trial, the Court and jury entered judgment in favor of the Company
against SLD on the claims of fraud and unfair trade practices. A verdict and
judgment was returned against the Company for breach of contract and damages
of $3.5 million, together with pre-judgment interest. In addition, the jury
found that SLD was using the Company's trade secrets without permission. As a
result of post trial motions, the judgment was amended to delete the award of
pre-judgment interest and SLD was ordered to return the Company's systems.
Both the Company and SLD have appealed to the United States Court of Appeals.
Changes in the status of this proceeding could result in a change in the
Company's estimate of anticipated liability for the costs associated with
these matters.
The Company is also presently involved in litigation which commenced in
January of 1996 in the Circuit Court in Greenville County, South Carolina,
with Liberty Life Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates ("Liberty")
arising out of the parties' prior contractual relationship related to the
development and licensing of Series III life insurance systems and the
subsequent licensing of the Company's CYBERTEK life insurance systems.
Liberty's complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of express and implied
warranties, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract accompanied by a
fraudulent act, and recission. Liberty has alleged actual and consequential
damages in excess of $160 million and also seeks treble and punitive damages.
The Company has asserted various affirmative defenses and is pursuing
counterclaims against Liberty for breach of contract, recoupment, breach of
good faith and fair dealing, and breach of contract accompanied by a
fraudulent act. The Company is seeking equitable relief, including injunctive
relief, and currently unspecified actual, compensatory and consequential
damages.
Based upon the allegations raised in a prior lawsuit and the SLD lawsuit,
the Company's insurer, St. Paul Mercury Insurance Company ("St. Paul"),
commenced in June 1995 a declaratory judgment action in the United States
District Court for the District of South Carolina against the Company to
determine St. Paul's obligation for defense costs and to indemnify the Company
for any payment related to these claims. The Company filed a counterclaim
against St. Paul seeking to recover the Company's defense costs in both
matters, coverage for damages, if any, awarded in those matters, and
consequential and punitive damages.
In connection with the dismissal of the prior lawsuit, St. Paul and the
Company agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims against each other with
respect to the matter, and St. Paul agreed to reimburse the Company for the
Company's legal fees. The action continues as to the parties' claims related
to insurance coverage for the SLD matter.
In addition to the litigation described above, there are also various
other litigation proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of
business. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and is vigorously
defending these matters.
While the resolution of any of the above matters could have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations in future periods, the Company
does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position. The Company, however, is unable to predict
the ultimate outcome or the potential financial impact of these matters.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operating segments are the five revenue-producing
components of the Company for which separate financial information is produced
for internal decision making and planning purposes. The segments are as
follows:

software products, product support, professional services and outsourcing
primarily to the US property and casualty insurance market.
2. Life and financial solutions enterprise software and services (generally

Initial license revenues increased $1.3 million from the first quarter of
1997 to the first quarter of 1998, with the following increases or decreases
by business segment: domestic property and casualty up 77.5% ($2.3 million);
life insurance and financial solutions down 21.7% ($0.9 million); and
international down 2.2% ($0.1 million).
Initial license charges for the first quarter of 1998 include
right-to-use licenses of $4.9 million. The right-to-use licenses represent
acquisitions by certain customers of perpetual rights. This compares to $1.0
million in right-to-use licenses for the same period of 1997.
Monthly license charges increased $1.2 million from the first quarter of
1997 to the first quarter of 1998 with the following increases by business
segment: domestic property and casualty up 2.1% ($0.2 million); life
insurance and financial solutions up 23.7% ($0.6 million); and international
up 11.1% ($0.4 million). These increases are related to the increase in
licensing activity over the last several quarters.
Because a significant portion of initial licensing revenues are recorded
at the time new systems are licensed and such licensing activity can vary
dramatically from quarter to quarter, there can be significant fluctuations in
revenue from quarter to quarter. Set forth below is a comparison of initial
license revenues for the last eight quarters expressed as a percentage of
total revenues for each of the periods presented:

Professional and outsourcing services revenues increased $23.6 million
from the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 1998, with the
following increases by business segment: domestic property and casualty up
22.7% ($9.8 million); life insurance and financial solutions up 78.0% ($10.5
million); and international up 10.9% ($3.3 million). The increases are
principally due to increases in implementation services and in the processing
volumes of services provided to new and existing customers.
OPERATING EXPENSES
COST OF REVENUES
Employee compensation and benefits increased 33.0% for the first quarter
1998 compared with the first quarter of 1997, principally the result of
increased salaries and related costs associated with the growth in staffing in
professional services business units. Compensation and benefits increased
24.8% ($3.7 million) internationally, while domestic increased 36.9% ($11.9
million).
Computer and communications expenses increased 9.8% for the first quarter
1998 compared with the first quarter of 1997, principally as a result of
increased communications, data circuit and maintenance costs associated with
the growth of the Company's domestic and international professional services
operations.
Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and capitalized
software costs increased 14.4% for the first quarter 1998 compared with the
first quarter of 1997, principally due to higher amortization expense
resulting from the recent release of the Company's S3+ property and casualty
insurance client/server software systems. In addition, depreciation expense
increased due to the Company's increased investment in its information
technology equipment and expanded facilities costs.
Other operating costs and expenses increased 22.1% for the first quarter
1998 compared with the first quarter of 1997 principally due to increased
facility and travel costs.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively
unchanged.
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles remained relatively
unchanged.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Microsoft. In April 1998, the Company announced a new strategic
business alliance with Microsoft Corporation. Under this strategic alliance,
the Company and Microsoft will engage in joint development, sales and
marketing activities geared toward the insurance and related financial
services industries. This alliance is not exclusive.
Lockheed Martin. In March 1998, the Company announced an agreement in
principle to form a strategic alliance with Integrated Business Solutions, a
unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed"). Under the terms of this
agreement the Company will turn over operation of its Blythewood, South
Carolina, data center to Lockheed in the third quarter of 1998. The exact
terms and conditions of the agreement continue to be negotiated. The
consolidated financial statements contained herein do not include any effect
of this agreement.
OPERATING INCOME
First quarter 1998 operating income increased 32.4% compared with the
1997 first quarter. Property and casualty insurance operating income
increased 12.5%, domestic life insurance operating income increased 75.6% and
international operating income increased 95.7%. The increase in operating
income is primarily related to increases in professional services and
outsourcing revenues.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased 23.8% for the first quarter 1998 compared with
the first quarter of 1997, principally due to lower levels of borrowed funds
under the Company's credit facility. The average nominal interest rate
applicable to borrowings under the Company's credit facility during the first
quarter of 1998 was 5.9%.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate (income taxes expressed as a percentage of
pre-tax income) was 37.7% and 37.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The effective rate for the first quarter of 1998 is
higher than the federal statutory rate principally due to the effect of state
and local income taxes.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Income from operations of the discontinued operations decreased 33.9% for
the first quarter 1998 compared with the first quarter of 1997, principally
due to 1997 results including the discontinued property and casualty
information services segment, which was sold in August 1997, as well as the
discontinued life information services business. 1998 results include the
discontinued life information services segment only.

The Company's current ratio (current assets divided by current
liabilities) stood at 2.2 at March 31, 1998, which management believes is
sufficient when combined with the available credit facility to provide for
day-to-day operating needs and the flexibility to take advantage of investment
opportunities. The Company has available (net of amounts outstanding at March
31, 1998) $181 million under its $200 million credit facility. Also, the
Company has available (net of amounts outstanding at March 31, 1998) $10.5
million under its $15 million uncommitted operating line of credit with which
it may choose to fund temporary operating cash needs.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998 the Company capitalized
software development costs of $14.9 million, principally related to the
development of its S3+ client/server property and casualty software, CyberLife
object-oriented client/server life insurance software, and
INSURE/90 international property and casualty solution as well as other
ongoing projects for other domestic as well as international products.
Significant expenditures anticipated for the remainder of 1998, excluding
any possible business acquisitions or common stock repurchases, are as
follows: acquisition of data processing and communications equipment, support
software, buildings, building improvements and office furniture, fixtures and
equipment and costs relating to the internal development of software systems.
The Company has historically used the cash generated from operations for
development and acquisition of new products, acquisition of businesses and
repurchase of the Company's stock. The Company anticipates that, subject to
market conditions, it will continue to use its cash for all of these purposes
in the future and that projected cash from operations will be able to meet
presently anticipated needs; however, the Company may also consider incurring
debt, as discussed above, as needed to accomplish specific objectives in these
areas and for other general corporate purposes.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The Company's operating results and financial condition can be impacted
by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following, any of
which could cause actual results to vary materially from current and
historical results or the Company's anticipated future results:
- - Currently, the Company's business is focused principally within the
global property and casualty and life insurance and related financial services
industries;
- - There is increasing competition for the Company's products and services;
- - The market for the Company's products and services is characterized by
rapid changes in technology;
- - Contracts with governmental agencies involve a variety of special risks,
including the risk of early contract termination by the governmental agency
and changes associated with newly elected state administrations or newly
appointed regulators;
- - The timing and amount of the Company's revenues are subject to a number
of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing of customers' decisions
to enter into large license agreements with the Company;
- - Unforeseen events or adverse economic or business trends may
significantly increase cash demands beyond those currently anticipated or
affect the Company's ability to generate/raise cash to satisfy financing
needs;
- - The Company's operations have not proven to be significantly seasonal,
although quarterly revenues and net income can be expected to vary at times;
- - Although the Company cannot accurately determine the amounts
attributable thereto, the Company has been affected by inflation through
increased costs of employee compensation and other operating expenses.
- - Many of the Company's current and potential customers are or will spend
significant amounts of money to make their existing information systems
capable of handling the year 2000.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Changes in the status of certain matters or facts or
circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes in
these estimates, and actual results could differ from these estimates.
Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be
considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future
periods.
YEAR 2000 READINESS
Many existing computer programs were designed to use only two digits to
identify a year in date fields. If not corrected, these applications could
fail or produce erroneous results when working with dates in the Year 2000 and
beyond. This Year 2000 issue may potentially affect the Company in four areas:
its product offerings, its services offerings, third-party products used
internally, and its suppliers. The Company's various business units have been
responsible for the assessment, remediation, validation and implementation
of Year 2000 corrective actions.
The application code of the Company's primary product offerings, S3+,
Series II, INSURE/90, POINT , CyberLife and CYBERTEK CK/4 products, were
either initially designed or have been updated in their currently available
releases to be capable of processing and storing date data with dates in both
the twentieth (1900's) and twenty-first (2000's) centuries. The Company is
currently conducting an inventory and verifying the Year 2000 readiness of the
third-party products with which these Company applications are designed to
operate in order to validate that no unanticipated Year 2000 issues exist. In
addition, the Company also is in the process of conducting an inventory and
assessing other Company and third-party products previously licensed by the
Company to customers to determine if any renovation efforts may be required in
relation to these products.
In its services offerings, the Company has assessed and commenced Year 2000
remediation of the applications used in processing the data of its Information
Technology Outsourcing and Business Process Outsourcing services customers.
Some of these remediation efforts are complete and some are still in various
stages of coding, testing or implementation. The Company intends to complete
these Year 2000 remediation efforts and required testing, in a Year 2000 test
environment, prior to the need for these services to process data involving
dates in the twenty-first century.
The primary third-party products used by the Company for its internal
operation include its data center hardware and software, internal financial
systems, and network and PC hardware and software. The Company's Blythewood
data center has completed its hardware and operating software inventory
assessments and has substantially completed the remediation efforts of
updating these hardware and software assets for the Year 2000 requirements.
The Company's Australian and European data centers also have completed their
inventory assessment and are implementing the hardware and operating software
enhancements required for Year 2000 remediation.
In 1996, the Company commenced the process of identifying, selecting and
implementing an enterprise wide financial and human resources system to
replace its existing systems. The selected solution is currently being
implemented, is designed to meet Year 2000 requirements, and is scheduled to
be operational at the end of 1998. In addition, the Company is commencing an
inventory and assessing all of its network and PC hardware and software to
determine if any Year 2000 remediation upgrades will be required.
Finally, the primary suppliers upon whom the Company's services are
dependent are electric utility and telephone companies who provide services to
the Company's various offices and data centers. If these services are
interrupted for a prolonged period due to the suppliers' Year 2000 problems,
it will disrupt the Company's ability to provide its services to customers,
notwithstanding the backup battery and diesel power supplies available for the
data center locations.
As discussed above, the Company has not yet fully completed its Year 2000
evaluations or its remediation efforts. If such remediation efforts are not
completed on a timely basis, Year 2000 issues could have a material impact on
the Company's operations and financial results. However, based upon the
Company's experience to date, at this time, it is not anticipated that the
completion of remaining Year 2000 remediation efforts will have an adverse
material effect upon the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
