BANCARD, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Operations
Bancard, Inc. (the "Company") markets and services electronic credit card
authorization and payment systems to merchants. The Company provides these
services to merchants pursuant to contracts between the Company and various
processing banks. Generally, the Company's agreements with the processing banks
contain certain aspects of both marketing and service.
Management estimates
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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and cost recognition
Revenues derived from the electronic processing of transactions (merchant
discount rate and related fees) on the credit card authorization equipment are
recognized at the time the merchants' transactions are processed. Related
commission expense and processing charges are also recognized at that time.
Revenues related to the direct sale of credit card authorization equipment
are recognized when the equipment is shipped. Installation fees related to both
the direct sale and the marketing of this equipment are recognized when
installation is completed. Fees received in advance of shipment or installation
are not recognized as revenue until earned. Revenues related to annual fees
charged to merchants are initially deferred and recognized straight-line over
the applicable year.
Cost of revenues includes interchange fees paid to the credit card-issuing
bank and fees paid to the network service provider, VISA and MasterCard and the
processing bank. These costs are recognized at the time the merchants'
transactions are processed and the related revenue is recorded.
6
BANCARD, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Company recognizes as revenue in its statement of income the full
discount rate and fees collected from the merchant. The various costs incurred
by the Company, including amounts paid to the card-issuing bank, the processor
and network service provider, are reflected as costs of revenues. In accordance
with the Company's contracts with its processing banks, all of the funds
collection and most of the disbursement function is performed on behalf of the
Company by the processing bank. At month end, the processing bank collects the
total discount rate and fees from the merchants and disburses to each of the
service providers their fees. Disbursements for the interchange fee paid to the
card-issuing bank are made monthly. Shortly after month end, the processing bank
disburses to the Company the remainder of the funds collected from the merchant
which represents a significant portion of the Company's gross margin.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial instruments
The Company has various financial instruments, including cash, time
deposits, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Cash, time
deposits, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are settled
within a year and are not subject to market rate fluctuations. The carrying
value of these financial instruments approximates their fair market values.
Notes payable with a carrying amount of $1,673,644 had a market value of
$1,606,668 at July 31, 1997 using discounted flow analyses, based on the prime
rate.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily comprise amounts due from processing banks
which represent the discount rate and fees earned, after related interchange
fees and other processing costs, on transactions processed during the month
ending on the balance sheet date. Such balances are received from processing
banks approximately 20 days following the end of each month.
Inventory
Inventory of credit card authorization equipment is stated at the lower of
cost or market, with cost being determined by specific identification.

BANCARD, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets ranging from 3 to 10 years.
Leases
The Company provides certain customers with credit card terminals for a
monthly rental fee (operating lease) which is recognized as revenue when earned.
Reserve for chargebacks and merchant fraud
Disputes between a cardholder and a merchant periodically arise as a result
of cardholder dissatisfaction with merchandise quality or merchant services and
the disputes may not be resolved in the merchant's favor. In these cases, the
transaction is "charged back" to the merchant and the purchase price is refunded
by the merchant. If the merchant is unable to grant a refund, the Company or,
under limited circumstances, the Company and the processing bank, must bear the
credit risk for the full amount of the transaction. The Company evaluates
its risk and estimates its potential loss for chargebacks based on historical
experience. A provision for these estimated losses is provided in the same
period as the related revenues.
Income taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of
the Internal Revenue Code for federal and state income tax purposes. Under
these provisions, the Company does not pay corporate income tax on its income as
the taxable income or loss is included in the personal income tax returns of the
shareholders.
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATION:
On August 28, 1996 an independent service organization (HMH, Inc.) owned by
the majority shareholder of the Company was merged into the Company in a
transaction accounted for as a transfer of an entity under common control. The
assets and liabilities of HMH, Inc. were recorded by the Company at their
historical basis and the results of operations of the Company in fiscal 1997
include HMH, Inc. for the full fiscal year as the majority owner of the Company
exercises control over both entities.
