ITEM 2
- ------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------
1. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
-------------------------------
Due to the relatively stable operating costs of the data
processing service business, the working capital requirements of
the Company are normally predictable. As a result of net
operating profits generated by the Company, cash and cash
equivalents on hand have increased by approximately $750,000 for
the first six months of the current year to a total of
approximately $1,600,000. The management of the Company is
confident that cash on hand, along with revenues generated by
existing clients, will satisfy the operating requirements of the
Company for the foreseeable future. In addition, if needed, the
Company has a $750,000 line of credit available for future use.
During the second half of the 1997 fiscal year, the Company
intends to complete an ongoing project to have the software of
its product line operational on IBM computer equipment. At that
time, the Company will have the option to purchase computer
processing time from an outside supplier or if cost justified,
purchase and install IBM computer equipment of its own for its
service business.
2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
REVENUES
--------
The revenues for the first six months of the current year were
approximately $3,758,000 which represents an increase of
approximately 32% over the first six months of the previous year.
This increase is primarily attributable to additional revenues
generated by banking clients utilizing the Company's data
services.
The revenues for the second quarter of the current fiscal year
were approximately $1,972,000 which represented an increase of
approximately 32% over the comparable period of the previous
year. Additional service revenues from banking clients were
primarily the reason for this increase.
10
10
In March 1996, the Company and Wachovia Operational Services
Corporation, an affiliate of a major service client that
accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenue, entered into
an agreement to convert the Company's production software from
its existing hardware platform to operate on an IBM AS/400
configuration. Upon successful completion of the project, which
is anticipated to occur in the second half of the Company's 1997
fiscal year, the Company intends to license the software to third
parties for in-house utilization. The licensing of the software
to Wachovia Operational Services Corporation may result in a
reduction of service fees from the major client in the 1998
fiscal year. However, the conversion of the Company's existing
software to the IBM AS/400 configuration will enhance the
Company's ability to secure software license revenues.
Management believes the ability to generate software license
revenues and continued growth in recurring revenues from existing
clients will serve to offset any decrease in revenues that might
occur.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
------------------
The total costs and expenses for the first six months of the
current year were approximately $2,997,000 which represented an
increase of approximately 10% over the comparable period of the
previous year. An allocation of Company funds to an employee
profit sharing plan, in addition to the cost of an additional
computer configuration installed at the beginning of the current
year, were the primary causes for the increase.
The total costs and expenses for the fiscal second quarter of the
current year were approximately $1,555,000 which represents an
increase of 10% over the comparable period of the previous year.
NET INCOME
----------
The net income for the first six months of the current fiscal
year was $610,865 or earnings of $.15 per share. For the first
six months of the previous year, net income was $104,782 or
earnings of $.03 per share.
The net income for the second quarter of the current fiscal year
was $332,779 or earnings of $.08 per share as compared to $72,610
or earnings of $.02 per share for the comparable period of the
previous year.
