NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was, until December 11, 1996, a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrated Payment Systems, Inc, ("IPS"). The 1996 financial statements have been prepared as if the Company were a separate company as of January 1, 1996. The 1996 financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows attributable to the Company, which was operated as a product line of IPS. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,1996. These unaudited financial statements reflect all material and normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. 2. In February 1997, the Company and Thomas Cook Group, Ltd. ("Thomas Cook") announced the formation of a joint venture that is 51% owned by the Company. This venture began operation in February and is accounted for as a wholly owned subsidiary, with minority interest. 3. Net income per common share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares. Common share equivalents were not used for the first period of 1997 as their effect would have been dilutive. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues The Company's revenues were $32.4 million in the first quarter of 1997 as compared with $35.6 million in 1996. This was the result of a 5% decline in fee revenue and a 25% decline in foreign exchange revenue. Fee revenue declined to $26.3 million from $27.6 million in the first quarter of 1996, and foreign exchange revenue declined to $6.1 million from $8.0 million in 1996. These declines were due to a 15% decrease in transactions, to 1.3 million from 1.5 million, and a lower level of foreign exchange fees per transaction. These decreases were partially offset by an 11% increase in the average fee per transaction due to promotions during part of the 1996 quarter. Expenses The Company's total operating expenses declined to $28.9 million from $30.2 million in the first quarter of 1996 mainly as a result of the decrease in transactions and lower advertising expense. Agent commissions increased 1% to $11.0 million in 1997 from $10.9 million in 1996. This increase was due mainly to amortization expense associated with agent signing bonuses and higher guaranteed commissions. These were partially offset by lower commissions due to the decline in fee revenue. Processing costs declined 6% to $6.0 million in 1997 from $6.4 million in 1996, due to the lower transaction level. Advertising and promotion expense decreased 32% to $6.0 million in 1997 from $8.8 million in 1996. This was due to less advertising, particularly in January 1987. Selling and services expense increased by 38% to $3.1 million in 1997 from $2.2 million in 1996. This was due to an increase in the number of marketing, sales and services employees hired to expand and support the Company as a separate entity. General and administrative expenses increased 54% to $2.8 million in 1997 from $1.8 million in 1996. This was due to costs associated with being a separate legal entity and higher depreciation expense. 7 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Total cash and cash equivalents, which is comprised of short term investments, increased $5.0 million in the first quarter of 1997. In 1996 all positive cash balances were transferred to IPS and all cash requirements were provided in a transfer from IPS. Cash flow from operations was $8.3 million in the first quarter of 1997 as compared with $3.6 million in 1996. The 1997 results reflect reduced net income, offset by increased depreciation and amortization, utilization of the deferred tax asset and the culmination of the joint venture with Thomas Cook. Cash used for investing activities was $3.3 million in 1997 as compared with $6.7 million in 1996 as a result of unusually high payments in 1996 to agents for assigning their contracts to the Company and extending the terms of those contracts. 8 PART II.
