             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   GENERAL

The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1998, and for
the three and nine months then ended are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the interim period.  The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire year ending December 31, 1998.


2.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period.  Diluted net income per common share is consistent with the
calculation of basic net income per common share while giving effect to dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period.  For all periods
presented, dilutive potential common shares consisted entirely of stock options.

The dilutive potential common shares from Common Stock Warrants are excluded
from the diluted net income per common share calculation as the events necessary
to allow the exercise of the warrants had not been satisfied as of September 30,
1998 or September 30, 1997.  For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, the weighted average diluted potential common
shares from Common Stock Warrants excluded from diluted net income per common
share are as follows:

 
                                              For the Three   For the Nine

3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement
for the period in which they are recognized.  The Company's comprehensive income
was as follows (in thousands):

4.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In October 1996, a former senior vice president of CSG Systems filed a lawsuit
against the Company and certain of its officers in the District Court of
Arapahoe County, Colorado.  The suit claimed that certain amendments to stock
agreements between the plaintiff and the Company were unenforceable, and that
the plaintiff's rights were otherwise violated in connection with those
amendments.  The plaintiff was seeking damages of approximately $2.0 million,
and in addition, sought to have such damages trebled under certain Colorado
statutes that the plaintiff claimed were applicable.  In June 1998, the Company
settled this matter, the effect of which was not material to the Company.


5.   ASSET ACQUISITION

On July 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US
Telecom Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0
million in cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.3
million.  USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems,
client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications
markets.  The cash portion of the purchase price was paid out of corporate
funds.  The total purchase price of $7.3 million has been allocated to the
technology and software acquired and will be amortized over its expected useful
life of five years.


6.   RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD AMOUNTS

Certain December 31, 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
September 30, 1998 presentation.


7.   ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and for Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133).  The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring every derivative instrument, as
defined, to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Revenues.  Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 46.6% to $63.5 million, from $43.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and
related services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales
and professional consulting services.

Revenues from processing and related services for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, increased 51.2% to $49.6 million, from $32.8 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997.  Of the total increase in revenue,
approximately 60% resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the
Company's clients which were serviced by the Company and approximately 40% was
due to increased revenue per customer.  Customers serviced as of September 30,
1998, and 1997, respectively, were 27.2 million and 20.7 million, an increase of
31.6%.  The increase in the number of customers serviced was due to the
conversion of additional customers by new and existing clients to the Company's
systems, and internal customer growth experienced by existing clients.   From
July 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998, the Company converted and processed
approximately 1.9 million additional customers on its systems.  Revenue per
customer increased due primarily to (i) the 15-year Tele-Communications, Inc.
(TCI) processing contract (the TCI Contract) executed in September 1997, (ii)
increased usage of ancillary services by clients, and (iii) price increases
included in client contracts.

Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting
services for the three months ended September 30, 1998, increased 32.3% to $13.8
million, from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase relates primarily to the continued growth of the Company's software
products and related product sales.

Amortization of Acquired Software.  Amortization of acquired software decreased
to zero for the three months ended September 30, 1998, from $2.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the
Company's leveraged buy-out of CSG Systems, Inc. (the Acquisition) in November
1994 becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.

Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles.  Amortization of
client contracts and related intangibles for the three months ended September
30, 1998, increased 37.0% to $1.4 million, from $1.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in expense is due primarily to
amortization of the value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease due
to client conversion methodologies from the Acquisition becoming fully amortized
as of November 30, 1997.

Gross Margin.  Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 63.7% to $34.8 million, from $21.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to revenue growth.  The gross margin
percentage increased to 54.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
compared to 49.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The overall
increase in the gross margin percentage is due primarily to the increase in
revenues while the combined amount of amortization of acquired software and
amortization of client contracts and related intangibles decreased.

Research and Development Expense.  Research and development (R&D) expense for
the three months ended September 30, 1998, increased 22.8% to $7.0 million, from
$5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  As a percentage of
total revenues, R&D expense decreased to 11.0% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, from 13.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company capitalized
software development costs of approximately $2.9 million, which consisted of
$2.8 million of internal development costs and $0.1 million of purchased
software. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during
the three months ended September 30, 1998. As a result, total R&D development
expenditures (i.e., the total R&D costs expensed, plus the capitalized
development costs) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, were
$7.0 million, or 11.0% of total revenues, and $8.5 million, or 19.6% of total
revenues, respectively. The
                                       9


 
overall decrease in the R&D expenditures between periods is due primarily to
effective control of development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party,
contracted programming services.

Selling and Marketing Expense.  Selling and marketing (S&M) expense for the
three months ended September 30, 1998, increased 8.2% to $3.0 million, from $2.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  As a percentage of total
revenues, S&M expense decreased to 4.7% for the three months ended September 30,
1998, from 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The overall
decrease in S&M expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to
increased revenues, while controlling S&M costs.

General and Administrative Expense.  General and administrative (G&A) expense
for the three months ended September 30, 1998, increased 8.3% to $5.8 million,
from $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  As a
percentage of total revenues, G&A expense decreased to 9.2% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, from 12.5% for the three months ended September 30,
1997.  The increase in G&A expenses relates primarily to the continued expansion
of the Company's administrative staff and other administrative costs to support
the Company's overall growth.  The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of
total revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling G&A
costs.

Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill.  Amortization of noncompete
agreements and goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 1998, decreased
22.2%, to $1.3 million, from $1.7 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997.  The decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down
of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997.

Depreciation Expense.  Depreciation expense for the three months ended September
30, 1998, increased 12.7% to $2.1 million, from $1.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in expense relates to capital
expenditures made during the last six months of 1997 and the first nine months
of 1998 in support of the overall growth of the Company, consisting principally
of computer hardware and related equipment and statement processing equipment
and related facilities.

Operating Income.  Operating income for the three months ended September 30,
1998, was $15.5 million or 24.4% of total revenues, compared to $3.7 million or
8.6% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The
increase between years relates to the factors discussed above.

The Company incurred certain one-time or acquisition-related charges
(Acquisition Charges) in connection with the Acquisition in November 1994.  The
Acquisition Charges include amortization of acquired software, client contracts
and related intangibles, noncompete agreement, goodwill, and stock-based
compensation.  Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997, excluding Acquisition Charges of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, was
$17.5 million or 27.6% of total revenues, and $9.2 million or 21.2% of total
revenues, respectively.  See the Company's "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, for additional
discussion regarding the Acquisition Charges and the impact of such charges on
operations.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
1998, increased 163.6% to $2.5 million, from $0.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the
financing of the Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September
1997.

Interest Income.  Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 112.8% to $0.6 million, from $0.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in
operating funds available for investment.

Extraordinary Loss From Early Extinguishment Of Debt.  In September 1997, the
Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $0.6 million for the write-off of
deferred financing costs related to retirement of it's outstanding bank
indebtedness of $27.5 million in conjunction with financing for the SUMMITrak
asset acquisition.

                                       10


 
Gain From Disposition of Discontinued Operations.  The gain from disposition of
discontinued operations of $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997 relates to the Company's divestiture of it's remaining investment in
Anasazi Inc. in September 1997 for $8.6 million in cash.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Revenues.  Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 35.9% to $167.0 million, from $122.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and
related services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales
and professional consulting services.

Revenues from processing and related services for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, increased 39.4% to $133.5 million, from $95.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Of the total increase in revenue,
approximately 62% resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the
Company's clients which were serviced by the Company and approximately 38% was
due to increased revenue per customer.  The increase in the number of customers
serviced was due to the conversion of additional customers by new and existing
clients to the Company's systems, and internal customer growth experienced by
existing clients.   From January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998, the Company
converted and processed approximately 6.1 million additional customers on its
systems.  Revenue per customer increased due primarily to (i) the TCI Contract
executed in September 1997, (ii) increased usage of ancillary services by
clients, and (iii) price increases included in client contracts.

Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting
service for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, increased 23.4% to $33.5
million, from $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase relates to the continued growth of the Company's software products and
related product sales and professional consulting services.

Amortization of Acquired Software.  Amortization of acquired software decreased
to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from $8.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the
Acquisition in November 1994 becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.

Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles.  Amortization of
client contracts and related intangibles for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, increased 18.8% to $3.6 million, from $3.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in expense is due to amortization of the
value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease due to client
conversion methodologies from the Acquisition becoming fully amortized as of
November 30, 1997.

Gross Margin.  Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 60.3% to $90.1 million, from $56.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due primarily to revenue growth.  The gross margin
percentage increased to 53.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
compared to 45.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The overall
increase in the gross margin percentage is due primarily to the increase in
revenues while the amount of amortization of acquired software and amortization
of client contracts and related intangibles decreased, and to a lesser degree,
the improvement in the gross margin percentage for processing and related
services, due primarily to the increase in revenue per customer while
controlling the cost of delivering such services.

Research and Development Expense. R&D expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, increased 24.2% to $20.3 million, from $16.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.  As a percentage of total revenues, R&D
expense decreased to 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from
13.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company capitalized
software development costs of approximately $9.7 million, which consisted of
$8.4 million of internal development costs and $1.3 million of purchased
software.  The Company capitalized third party, contracted costs of
approximately $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
related primarily to enhancements to existing products. As a result, total R&D
development expenditures (i.e., the total R&D costs expensed, plus the
capitalized development costs) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, were $21.7 million, or 13.0% of total revenues, and $24.7 million, or
20.1% of total revenues, respectively.  The overall decrease in the R&D


                                       11


 
expenditures between periods is due primarily to effective control of
development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party, contracted
programming services.

Selling and Marketing Expense. S&M expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, increased 2.1% to $8.0 million, from $7.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  As a percentage of total revenues, S&M expense
decreased to 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from 6.4% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The overall decrease in S&M expenses
as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while
controlling S&M costs.

General and Administrative Expense. G&A expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, increased 20.3% to $17.1 million, from $14.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.  As a percentage of total revenues, G&A
expense decreased to 10.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, from
11.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in G&A
expenses relates primarily to the continued expansion of the Company's
administrative staff and other administrative costs to support the Company's
overall growth.  The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues
is due primarily to increased revenue, while controlling G&A costs.

Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill.  Amortization of noncompete
agreements and goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, decreased
22.3%, to $4.0 million, from $5.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.  The decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down
of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997.

Depreciation Expense.  Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, increased 16.7% to $5.9 million, from $5.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in expense relates to capital
expenditures made throughout 1997 and the first nine months of 1998 in support
of the overall growth of the Company, consisting principally of computer
hardware and related equipment and statement processing equipment and related
facilities.

Operating Income.  Operating income for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, was $34.5 million or 20.7% of total revenues, compared to $7.2 million or
5.8% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The
increase between years relates to the factors discussed above.

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
excluding Acquisition Charges of $6.2 million and $16.4 million, was $40.7
million or 24.4% of total revenues, and $23.6 million or 19.2% of total
revenues, respectively.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, increased 240.8% to $7.5 million, from $2.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the
financing of the Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September
1997.

Interest Income.  Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
increased 162.4% to $1.8 million, from $0.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in
operating funds available for investment and an increase in interest charges on
aged client accounts.

Extraordinary Loss From Early Extinguishment Of Debt.  In September 1997, the
Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $0.6 million for the write-off of
deferred financing costs related to retirement of it's outstanding bank
indebtedness of $27.5 million in conjunction with financing for the SUMMITrak
asset acquisition.

Gain From Disposition of Discontinued Operations.  The gain from disposition of
discontinued operations of $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 relates to the Company's divestiture of it's remaining investment in
Anasazi Inc. in September 1997 for $8.6 million in cash.

                                       12


 
Major Clients
- -------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, revenues from TCI
represented approximately 36.3% and 28.0% of total revenues, and revenues from
Time Warner Cable and its affiliated companies (Time Warner) represented 16.3%
and 19.2% of total revenues, respectively.  The increase in the TCI percentage
between periods relates primarily to the additional TCI customers converted to
the Company's systems as a result of the 15-year TCI Contract executed in
September 1997.  The decrease in the Time Warner percentage between periods
results from a larger total revenue base for the Company, as total revenues from
Time Warner increased between periods.  The Company has separate processing
agreements with multiple affiliates of Time Warner and provides products and
services to them under separately negotiated and executed contracts.

Income Taxes
- ------------

At September 30, 1998, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not
that certain of the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized.
Accordingly, the Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset of
approximately $14.6 million. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of
approximately $48.5 million against the remaining net deferred tax assets since
realization of these future benefits is not sufficiently assured as of September
30, 1998.

The Company intends to analyze the realizability of the net deferred tax assets
at each future quarterly reporting period.  The current quarterly results of
operations, as well as the Company's projected results of operations, will
determine the required valuation allowance at the end of each quarter.  Based on
its current projections of operating results for 1998, the Company expects to
pay U.S. income taxes and realize additional deferred tax assets in 1998.  As a
result, the Company does not expect income tax expense for 1998 to be
significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

As of September 30, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents of $36.2 million.  The Company also has a revolving
credit facility in the amount of $40.0 million, of which there were no
borrowings outstanding.  The Company's ability to borrow under the revolving
credit facility is subject to maintenance of certain levels of eligible
receivables.  At September 30, 1998, all of the $40.0 million revolving credit
facility was available to the Company based on the current level of eligible
receivables.  The revolving credit facility expires in September 2002.

As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, the Company had
$58.3 million and $44.7 million in net trade accounts receivable, an increase of
$13.6 million, with the increase primarily a result of the Company's revenue
growth.  The Company's trade accounts receivable balance includes billings for
several non-revenue items, such as postage, communication lines, travel and
entertainment reimbursements, sales tax, and deferred items.  As a result, the
Company evaluates its performance in collecting its accounts receivable through
its calculation of days billings outstanding (DBO) rather than a typical days
sales outstanding (DSO) calculation.  DBO is calculated based on the billing for
the period (including non-revenue items) divided by the average net trade
accounts receivable balance for the period.  Some of the Company's most recent
DBO calculations are as follows:

 
                                       For the Month   For the Quarter      
                                           Ended            Ended           
                                       -------------   ---------------

            December 31, 1997......         58               54


During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company generated $37.8
million of net cash flow from operating activities.  Cash generated from these
sources and the proceeds of $3.5 million from the issuance of common stock
through the Company's stock incentive plans were used to (i) fund capital

                                       13


 
expenditures of $11.8 million, (ii) fund additions to software of $1.4 million,
(iii) fund the acquisition of assets of US Telecom Advanced Technology Systems,
Inc. for $6.0 million, (iv) pay conversion incentive payments of $2.0 million,
and (v) repay long-term debt of $4.5 million.

Earnings from continuing operations (before extraordinary item) before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $49.0 million or 29.3% of total revenues, compared to
$30.3 million or 24.7% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.  EBITDA is presented here as a measure of the Company's debt service
ability and is not intended to represent cash flows for the periods.

The Company financed the SUMMITrak asset acquisition with a $150.0 million term
credit facility in September 1997.  In December 1997, the Company made an
optional principal payment on the term credit facility of $15.0 million.
Interest rates for the term and revolving credit facilities are chosen at the
option of the Company and are based on the LIBOR rate or the prime rate, plus an
additional percentage spread, with the spread dependent upon the Company's
leverage ratio.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the spread on the
LIBOR rate and prime rate was 1.0 percent and 0 percent, respectively.  Based on
the Company's leverage ratio as of March 31, 1998, the spread on the LIBOR rate
was reduced to 0.75 percent, effective April 1, 1998.

The loan agreement  restricts, among other things, the payment of dividends or
other types of distributions on any class of the Company's stock unless the
Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, is under 1.50.  As
of September 30, 1998, the leverage ratio was 1.85.

The purchase price for the SUMMITrak assets acquired in September 1997 included
up to $26.0 million in conversion incentive payments.  The timing of the
conversion incentive payments is based upon the achievement of certain
milestones by TCI and the Company, as specified in the SUMMITrak asset
acquisition agreement.  The milestones are based principally upon the number of
TCI's customers converted to, and the total number of TCI customers processed
on, the Company's customer care and billing system.  Total payments as of
September 30, 1998 have been approximately $2.0 million.  Based on the
conversions performed to date and the future conversions scheduled as of
September 30, 1998, the Company expects to pay the remaining $24.0 million to
TCI within the next 12 months.

On July 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US
Telecom Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0
million in cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.3
million.  USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems,
client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications
markets.  The Company intends to use the acquired technology and software to i)
enhance its current service-bureau telephony customer care and billing system,
and ii) provide a customer care and billing system for the domestic and
international competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) and incumbent local
exchange carrier (ILEC) markets.  The cash portion of the purchase price was
paid out of corporate funds.  The total purchase price of $7.3 million has been
allocated to the technology and software acquired and will be amortized over its
expected useful life of five years.

The Company continues to make significant investments in capital equipment,
facilities, and research and development.  The Company had no significant
capital commitments as of September 30, 1998.  The Company believes that cash
generated from operations, together with the current cash and cash equivalents
and the amount available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient
to meet its anticipated cash requirements for operations, income taxes, debt
service, conversion incentive payments and capital expenditures for both its
short and long-term purposes.

Year 2000
- ---------
 
The Company's business is dependent upon various computer software programs and
operating systems that utilize dates and process data beyond the year 2000.  The
Company's actions to address the risks associated with the year 2000 are as
follows:

The Company's State of Readiness
- --------------------------------
The Company has established a corporate program to coordinate its year 2000
(Y2K) compliance efforts across all business functions and geographic areas. The
scope of the program includes addressing the risks associated with the Company's
i) information technology (IT) systems (including the Company's products and
services), ii) non-IT systems that include embedded technology (e.g., buildings,
plant, equipment and other infrastructure), and iii) significant vendors and
their Y2K readiness. The Company is utilizing the following steps in executing
its Y2K compliance program: 1) awareness, 2) assessment, 3) renovation
(including upgrades and enhancements to the Company's products), 4) validation
and testing, and 5) implementation. The Company has completed the awareness and
assessment steps for all areas.

IT Systems. The renovation step has been substantially completed for all mission
critical IT systems and products, and the Company now is focusing its efforts on
validation and testing. The Company's most significant renovation effort
involved its core product, CCS. CCS utilizes one subroutine for calculating
dates, with the various computer programs within CCS with date dependent
calculations accessing this subroutine. As a result, all date calculations are
performed in one location. The renovation of this subroutine and the related
interfaces to the various date dependent programs has been completed. The
Company is now testing CCS and its related software products (e.g., ACSR, ACSR
Telephony, etc.) using its standard testing methodologies, while adding date
simulation to specifically address the Y2K risk. Such date simulation considers
pre-2000, cross over, and post-2000 time frames, including year 2000 leap year
considerations. The Company believes it will be 80-90% completed with its
testing for CCS and related software products by December 31, 1998, with the
remaining testing expected to be done by the end of the first quarter of 1999.
Implementation into the production environment is expected to occur shortly
after testing is completed.

For the Company's non-CCS related software products, no renovation is believed
necessary as the products are relatively new and were designed to be Y2K
compliant. The Company plans to test these products with similar date simulation
techniques discussed above to ensure they are Y2K compliant. Such testing is
expected to be substantially completed by the end of 1998. 

Non-IT Systems. The Company expects to have all of its mission critical non-IT
systems Y2K compliant by the end of the first quarter of 1999. The Company is
currently formulating its testing and implementation plans for its mission
critical non-IT systems.

Significant Vendors. As part of the Company's Y2K compliance program, the
Company has contacted its significant vendors to assess their Y2K readiness. For
all mission critical third party software embedded in or specified for use in
conjunction with the Company's IT systems and products, the Company's
communications with the vendors indicates that the vendors believe they will be
Y2K compliant by the end of 1998. Such third party software is being tested in
conjunction with the testing of the IT systems and products discussed above. All
other significant vendors (including the Company's vendor who provides data
processing services for CCS) have indicated they will be Y2K compliant by the
end of 1998, except for one of the Company's vendors which provides data lines
access for CCS. This vendor indicates that it expects to be Y2K compliant by the
end of the first quarter of 1999. There can be no assurance that i) the
Company's significant vendors will succeed in their Y2K compliance efforts, or
ii) the failure of vendors to address year 2000 compliance will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business or results of operations.



                                       15


 
The Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues
- ---------------------------------------------------
Since inception of its program in 1995 through September 30, 1998, the Company
has incurred and expensed costs of approximately $2.3 million related to Y2K
compliance efforts. The total estimated costs to complete the Company's Y2K
compliance effort are approximately $1.6 million. The estimated costs to
complete, which does not include any costs which may be incurred by the Company
if its significant vendors fail to timely address Y2K compliance, is based on
currently known circumstances and various assumptions regarding future events.
However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

The Risks of the Company's Year 2000 Issues
- -------------------------------------------
The Company's failure to timely resolve the Y2K risks could result in system
failures, the generation of erroneous information, and other significant
disruptions of business activities, including among others, access to CCS and
the use of related software products, and timely printing and delivery of
clients' customers' statements. Although the Company believes it will be
successful in its Y2K compliance efforts, there can be no assurance that the
Company's systems and products contain all necessary date code changes. In
addition, the Company's operations may be at risk if its vendors and other third
parties fail to adequately address the Y2K issue or if software conversions
result in system incompatibilities with these third parties. To the extent that
either the Company or a third-party vendor or service provider on which the
Company relies does not achieve Y2K compliance, the Company's results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, it has been
widely reported that a significant amount of litigation surrounding business
interruption will arise out of Y2K issues. It is uncertain whether, or to what
extent, the Company may be affected by such litigation.

As is the case with many software companies and service providers, if the
Company's current or future clients experience significant business
interruptions due to their failure to achieve Y2K compliance, the Company's
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. There can be no
assurance that the Company's current or future clients will adequately and
successfully address their Y2K risk and not experience any business
interruptions.

The Company's Contingency Plan
- ------------------------------
The Company has not yet developed a comprehensive contingency plan to address
the situation that may result if the Company or its vendors are unable to
achieve Y2K compliance for its critical operations. During the fourth quarter of
1998 and the first quarter of 1999, based upon the status of the Company's Y2K
compliance efforts at that time and the Company's perceived risks to critical
business operations, the Company plans to evaluate what areas the Company
believes a contingency plan may be necessary, and execute such contingency plan
if warranted. The i) inability to timely implement a contingency plan, if deemed
necessary, and ii) the cost to develop and implement such a plan, may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Except for statements of existing or historical facts, the foregoing discussion
of Y2K consists of forward-looking statements and assumptions relating to
forward-looking statements, including without limitation the statements relating
to future costs, the timetable for completion of Y2K compliance efforts,
potential problems relating to Y2K, the Company's state of readiness, third
party representations, and the Company's plans and objectives for addressing Y2K
problems. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
the Company's expectations, including without limitation i) the failure of
vendors and service providers (such as the vendors of data processing services
and data lines access for CCS and providers of third party software) to timely
achieve Y2K compliance, ii) system incompatibilities with third parties
resulting from software conversions, iii) the Company's systems and products not
containing all necessary date code changes, iv) the failure of existing or
future clients to achieve Y2K compliance, v) potential litigation arising out of
Y2K issues, the risk of which may be greater for information technology based
service providers such as the Company, vi) the failure of the Company's
validation and testing phase to detect operational problems internal to the


                                       16


 
Company, in the Company's products or services or in the Company's interface
with service providers, vendors or clients, whether such failure results from
the technical inadequacy of the Company's validation and testing efforts, the
technological infeasibility of testing certain non-IT systems, the perceived
cost-benefit constraints against conducting all available testing, or the
unavailability of third parties to participate in testing, or vii) the failure
to timely implement a contingency plan to the extent Y2K compliance is not
achieved.
